Sasuke's Daily Life

Shinji Matou rolled frantically on the ground, hit by Amaterasu, his mouth emitting hysterical screams.

Shinji began to regret participating in this so-called Holy Grail War, but it was clearly too late to turn back now.

When Shinji saw Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, he scrambled toward them like a madman, begging in agony:

"Emiya! Tohsaka! Save me, quickly!"

"I don't want to die!"

"Aaaaaahhhhh!"

Before Rin Tohsaka could pull Shirou Emiya back, Shinji's screams were cut short amidst the roar of black flames, his entire body completely consumed by the dark fire.

Other than a few scorched marks on the corridor floor, nothing remained of Shinji.

Had Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka not witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined in their entire lives that Shinji Matou would die in such a manner.

With Shinji's absolute death, Rider, whose neck had been snapped by Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo, also turned into magical dust and dissipated completely in the corridor.

At this moment, Shinji Matou and Rider became the first Master and Servant pair to be eliminated from this Holy Grail War.

Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka stared at Sasuke Uchiha as if looking at a monster; they even harbored the question, Is this guy really a magus and not a Servant?

A normal magus shouldn't be able to defeat a Servant, who is a Heroic Spirit, right?

Although Rin Tohsaka had long had a premonition, she was still quite surprised that Shinji Matou had become a Master.

It was likely the first time in history that a Master with a Servant had been killed by a magus outside the Holy Grail War, wasn't it?

As for Shirou Emiya, his feelings were truly a complex mix.

The female student from the school's archery club who had gone missing a few days ago, Ayako Mitsuzuri, had last been seen with Shinji. Although she had been found, she was suffering from some psychological trauma.

Combined with the attack on Kaoru Sakura by a Servant yesterday and Shinji Matou's attitude over these past few days, it wasn't hard to deduce that he was the third Master in the school.

Whether participating in this Holy Grail War as a magus or a Master, one should have the resolve to be killed by others.

However, watching this former friend die before his eyes left Shirou Emiya with a feeling that words could not describe.

Since Shinji Matou was the one who dragged unrelated people into this, Shirou Emiya couldn't find the words to say anything from any perspective.

Seeing that both were silent, Sasuke Uchiha continued:

"If there are no other questions, I shall take my leave."

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was about to depart, Rin Tohsaka called out to him.

"Wait a moment!"

"If possible, could I ask for your help in the future?"

Rin Tohsaka didn't care about the death of Shinji Matou; after all, his character was truly detestable.

Not to mention that Shinji Matou was the one who provoked the trouble first; for things to develop to this point, his death was well-deserved.

But in Fuyuki, she didn't know many magi, and this was the first time she had seen a magus as powerful as Sasuke Uchiha who also possessed a dōjutsu.

Although she preferred to rely on herself to win this Holy Grail War, having an extra ally was a better choice to prevent accidents.

Furthermore, understanding different types of magecraft was a principle Rin Tohsaka held as a magus.

To Rin Tohsaka's question, Sasuke Uchiha responded in a very flat tone:

"I said it before."

"You saved Kaoru, so if there is anything you need my help with, feel free to ask."

"Are there any other questions?"

To this, Shirou Emiya remained silent, as he didn't know what to say at this moment.

Rin Tohsaka seemed to want to say something, her expression hesitant.

If Shinji Matou was the third Master in this school, then there was likely another Master hidden within it.

Because Shinji Matou, who possessed no aptitude as a magus, would be almost impossible for other Masters to detect if he didn't let his Servant appear.

But based on the events of the past few days and her own perception of the school, Rin Tohsaka felt that, excluding Shirou Emiya and Shinji Matou, there was a high probability that another Master and Servant pair remained in the school.

However, Rin Tohsaka felt that Sasuke Uchiha had nothing to do with this Holy Grail War anyway. Since he had already avenged Kaoru Sakura, there was no need to involve him further in what was to come.

"Nothing. Remember to let Kaoru rest at home for a while."

Hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha nodded, then turned and walked toward the school exit.

Sasuke Uchiha's figure soon disappeared from the campus. Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka sighed and looked at Shirou Emiya, who had been silent for a long time:

"Emiya, please let me go to your house. I have something to discuss with you."

Night soon shrouded the sky, and Sasuke Uchiha returned to Fish Fresh House at this moment.

Because it was closed, Kaoru Sakura opened the door for Sasuke Uchiha.

She appeared in her home attire, wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a black knee-length skirt, with a pink apron featuring cherry blossom patterns worn over it.

Because Kaoru Sakura had hurried downstairs, she was still holding a wooden rice scoop, though in the next moment, it was used as a weapon to interrogate Sasuke Uchiha.

"Big brother, where did you go this afternoon?"

"Out with it!"

Kaoru Sakura pointed her wooden spoon at Sasuke, firing off her interrogation.

"I had business."

Sasuke spoke as he entered the house, locked the door, and then headed toward the second floor with a calm expression.

Following behind him, Kaoru Sakura muttered under her breath:

"Business, what kind of business?"

"Big brother, you wouldn't happen to be out on a date with someone, would you?"

Hearing her ask such a question, Sasuke knew that Kaoru Sakura's health must have recovered significantly; otherwise, she would never have been able to come up with such a leap in logic.

Before Sasuke could say anything, the voice of the old man, Sakura Masayoshi, drifted down from the second floor:

"Show some respect. You girl, stop prying into your brother's affairs."

Long accustomed to these words, Kaoru Sakura responded with her usual cheeky grin:

"I know, I know!"

"I was just asking casually!"

As she spoke, Kaoru Sakura sat down at the dining table and began to scoop rice for Sasuke.

The cooking at home was generally handled by Kaoru Sakura, and since she had been experimenting with recipes since elementary school, her culinary skills were quite excellent.

Taking his seat, Sasuke looked toward Sakura Masayoshi, who was sitting at the head of the table, and gave a slight nod to show his respect.

Sakura Masayoshi nodded back in satisfaction.

Neither of the two men spoke, as if they both understood everything clearly.

Sasuke then took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by Kaoru Sakura with both hands, looked at her, and said:

"Kaoru, just stay home and get some good rest for the next few days."

"I will explain things to your teacher at school."

Completely oblivious to the situation, Kaoru Sakura naturally felt baffled and asked in confusion:

"Why?"

To this, Sasuke only replied with a calm expression:

"Because you need to rest."

"Huh? Is that really necessary?"

Clearly, Kaoru Sakura did not feel there was any need for her to rest; although she had felt a bit sleepy during the day, having slept all afternoon, she felt no fatigue whatsoever.

"Listen to your brother."

At this point, it required Sakura Masayoshi, who held the most authority in the house, to speak up. Although Kaoru Sakura argued back with a few words of dissatisfaction, she eventually gave in.

However, wherever there is conflict, there is always risk.

Tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful.
