Fuyuki City, Miyama Town.
The time came to the afternoon of the next day.
Sasuke, Illya, and Kaoru Sakura were standing before the gates of the Emiya Residence.

Matters involving the Holy Church and the Mage's Association.
And the recent disappearances of Fuyuki City's residents.
Although Shirou Emiya could help Rin Tohsaka to some extent, his limited abilities meant that progress on every front had been rather slow.
But there was no way Kaoru Sakura could know any of
