"It was as stifling as being an overworked employee in human society. You could be doing everything you could just to get by, yet if you said something costing 79 yuan was too expensive, people would question whether you were working hard enough."

Wait! Isn't this 'God Almighty' a little too dangerous?! Ritsuka Fujimaru shuddered. Who decides to destroy the world over something like that?!

EMIYA felt something lodge in his throat.
When Kaguya Houraisan had mentioned watching the high jump, he had ignored the teasing looks from the other Servants.
