[When Shirou Emiya came out of the shower, there was no one in the living room except Fujimura Taiga. He confirmed that Rin Tousaka's shoes were still at the entrance and murmured, "What's going on, that guy? It's late at night. Doesn't he know that it's dangerous?"]

[As he spoke, Shirou Emiya came to Fujimura Taiga and asked, "Sister Fuji, do you know where Tousaka is?"]

[Tousaka seemed to have run to the yard just now? Come to think of it, she seemed to have asked me what was behind the yard.]

[Behind the yard...?]

[Walked along the passage to the warehouse and opened the door. A cold wind blew in. There were clouds in the sky, but not a single star could be seen. The yard was also full of snow.]

[......Ah, it's so cold. What is Tousaka doing outside? Shirou Emiya hugged himself, his shoulders trembling as he crossed the yard and came to the door of the warehouse.]

[Huh, Emiya-kun? ! Rin's voice came from the warehouse. 】.

[Not Emiya-kun, what are you doing in a place like this, Tousaka? It's almost time, there's no time for you to relax here. 】

[Ah, yes, it's really cold here...]

[Emiya Shirou hurriedly walked in: "What are you doing, Tousaka? There's nothing in the warehouse, right? This is my magic practice field. If there's anything I can do, it's just practicing and strengthening. To Tousaka, it's just a trick to fool children, right?"]

[Tousaka Rin turned her head and stared at her as if blaming her: "Really? You didn't notice it after all..."]

["Huh? Tousaka?"]

["I knew it was like this. People who are creators are like this. It's natural for them to fail."]

[Wait a minute, are you talking about the "503" projection magic? Emiya Shirou asked hurriedly. 】

[Yes, I'm talking about the replicas without internal parts scattered in the warehouse... That's so stupid, Emiya-kun, you don't know, there are no steps and simple methods, you use the extension of the body to perform projection magic, you are just fooling around! 】

[Ha... I'm so sorry, it's okay, anyway, projection is a strengthening exercise, I didn't think about success, in the end it was just to confirm the basics. 】

[I'm just saying that you are really fooling around, projecting to confirm the basics... Listen, if you dare to say such things to a magician other than me, you will be soaked in formaldehyde solution with your brain! 】

[Emiya Shirou took a step back as if he was scared. 】

[... I'm sorry, Toosaka. Although I don't quite understand what you want to say, in short, you want me to continue practicing, right? 】

[This is nonsense, Emiya-kun has to continue training, but, yes - if you want to increase your combat power immediately, just change the order slightly, maybe you can immediately becomeMaterial for use. Rin Tohsaka said, and then pondered. 】

[Hmm... Changing the order, strengthening it? 】

[Really, what are you listening to, you slow-witted guy! Of course it's not strengthening, it's projection? ! Of course, you can't expect any immature strengthening at all. Projection is different. Although it's only temporary, you successfully projected Archer's sword. If you can reproduce it, it can become the current combat power! 】

[...Tohsaka, this is the best, but yesterday was just an accident. Even if you let me do it again, it may not work. 】

[That's why you say it's immature! Since it has been successful, whether it is accidental or inevitable, it must become your own thing... Besides, yours is not an accident. There are many magic tricks that magicians like me who rely on the outside world cannot reproduce, but your materials are all produced from the inner world. As long as you are alive, there is no magic that cannot be reproduced. 】

[Emiya Shirou was confused again: Hmm? Produced from the inner world...? 】

[Ah....” Rin Tousaka sighed exaggeratedly: “Although there is really no way because you are self-taught, your problem is serious. Not to mention projection, do I have to teach other things from scratch? 】

[Shirou Emiya said dissatisfiedly: Humph, mind your business, I have come here alone so far, and there will be a way next time. Compared with this meeting, what should I do, it’s already this time, I can’t always hang around like this? 】

[Hey? Time, what time is it now? 】

[It’s already nine o’clock, it’s not the time for girls to go out for a walk at night. 】

[What, isn’t it still early? - Forget it, since Emiya-kun said so, let’s solve it early. Looking at Shirou Emiya with his hands on his chest and shaking, Rin Tousaka took the lead and walked towards the house. 】

[Shirou Emiya blinked and looked at Rin Tousaka’s back: What... It’s still early, why? 】

[Rin Tousaka, who had already walked to the door, turned back and said, "Come here quickly."]

[Shirou Emiya hurried over and came to the corridor to hold a meeting.]

[It is impossible to challenge Ryudo Temple at this stage. We have to set a trap and lure Caster out. Rin Tousaka said directly.]

[Ah..., this, it is indeed true. Shirou Emiya nodded calmly.]

[The question is how to design a trap... Well, I have some ideas for this. Emiya-kun, you just wait. In the worst case, you and Saber may be used as bait.]

[While speaking, Rin Tousaka stood up and opened the wooden window, so that the two of them can sit in the corridor to enjoy the moon.]

[It's a good barrier. It's different from my house. It can feel human emotions. Sitting in the corridor, Rin Tousaka stared blankly at the yard and said softly: "Can you stay with me for a while?" I have something boring to say.. 】

[Emiya Shirou sat silently beside Rin Tousaka. 】

“【Xiaogang】: In this situation, I must say that it is too damn similar to the time when Emiya Kiritsugu and Shirou Emiya sat together, except that the old man has been replaced by a beautiful girl!”

“【Blackbeard】: Tousaka has not slept yet, and they are walking in the courtyard together.”

“【Lanling King】:......”

“【Blackbeard】: @Lanling King, you also know this, this was written by a poet who was five or six hundred years later than you!”

“【Lanling King】:......”

"【Cu Chulainn】: What night is without Saber, what night is without Tousaka! @Blackbeard, that's what you said."

"【Blackbeard】:!!! @Cu Chulainn, you're so good."

"【Cu Chulainn】: I didn't expect you to be in the mood to read."

"【Sesshōin Kiara】: Hehe~ Let me make it clear first, the last time I watched the moon here was with a righteous partner, and I died here!"

[The two of them just sat there, and although Tousaka had something to say, she didn't say anything. ]

[Emiya Shirou could only stare blankly at the yard, occasionally glancing at Tousaka Rin beside him. Tousaka Rin exhaled white air like him and stared at the yard. ]

[Well, then, what do you want to say, Tousaka? ]

[......Well, there is one thing, this room is a bit special, and it's not like I have to learn from others to correct myself. That, is it okay for Emiya-kun to continue like this? I suddenly thought of this. 】

[Wow. What do you mean it's okay to go on like this? Does it mean it's okay to be immature? Emiya Shirou asked in confusion. 】

[That's not what I meant, but it might be. I don't know what kind of magician Emiya Kiritsugu is, but this room is very natural.

It's obviously a magician's studio, but it's open. The doors on all four sides are open. It feels like you can come in and out freely. It must be because there is nothing to protect, so you are not bound by anything. 】

[I think your father told you not to become a magician but a magician. This is probably what it means. The other side of having nothing, you can go anywhere. After saying this, Toosaka Rin added this. 】

[What? Isn't Toosaka like that? 】

[Well, my house is different. Although it is regarded as a haunted house by people nearby, it is indeed like that. It refuses all comers and does not allow things that enter to escape. 】

【Tousaka Rin raised her head and looked at the moonless night: ... Sometimes, I also feel that something seems to be wrong, but I can't change it. It's not that I'm cursed or anything, but I like this way of existence. It's because of this character that I was chosen as the successor. When I noticed it, I was shocked. 】

【Hmm, does this mean that you noticed that you are a child who likes to bully others? Emiya Shirou tilted his head. 】

【Tousaka Rin was silent for a second: "Sometimes II think, Emiya-kun, you really speak without embellishment. ”】

[Really? Do you want me to imitate you and speak in a roundabout way?]

[......Really, it's because of this that I say you speak too directly. After saying this, Toosaka Rin sighed and lowered her head.]

[The white gas she sighed out also slowly dissolved in the cold night.]

[Emiya Shirou secretly looked at Toosaka Rin's profile and said very softly: Toosaka, it must be very hard for you.]

[Magic training? It's really unfortunate that I have never felt pain. I can easily master most things, and I have never been frustrated by not being able to do anything. And it's also a pleasure to learn some new knowledge. Didn't I say that just now? I was born with this kind of personality... ..... So you are worrying too much, Emiya-kun. Rin Tousaka said it very decisively. 】

[Really? So how about school? Since I have come all the way as a magician, it seems meaningless to go to school, right? 】

[It is not meaningless, but it is a detour, but it is not a waste of time? Being a student is very happy.

I am basically a person who advocates happiness. Although it is my duty to inherit my father, I would not do it if I don’t feel happy. I became a Master to test my ability. I cooperated with you, Emiya-kun, because you are interesting. 】

[Emiya Shirou smiled: "Really? You are happy, Tousaka, that's great. ”]

[Thank you. By the way, Emiya-kun should be happy all the time, right? If not, I can't continue to practice magic. Toosaka Rin said casually as if it was a matter of course.]

[However, Emiya Shirou fell silent.]

["Hmm..."]

[......Hey, why are you silent? Emiya-kun's father didn't force you? If you continue to do magic even though it's like this, isn't it because you're happy? Toosaka Rin turned her head away.]

[However, Emiya Shirou became even more silent.]

[The relaxed expression on Toosaka Rin's face faded a little bit, and turned into a very serious expression: "Wait, answer me properly, Emiya-kun, I may have a big misunderstanding. ”】

[Emiya Shirou looked at the falling snow: Actually, it’s like this, I don’t think practicing magic is very happy, neither the practice of magic nor magic itself has ever made me happy, but I am happy as long as the people around me are happy, so I will learn magic in the hope that one day I can become someone’s helper.]

[Tousaka Rin looked a little surprised.]

[Emiya Shirou continued: I want to be a righteous partner like Kiritsugu, and I learned magic for this purpose... Well, this is my reason.]

[Tousaka Rin followed with incomprehension: What’s that?! Aren’t you learning magic for yourself?]

[Hey...ah, this, isn't it for myself? I'd be happy if I could help someone. ]

[I say, this is happy but not joyful! Listen carefully, I'm talking about what makes you happy, Emiya-kun, not what the people around you are like, but I'm asking if there is anything that makes you happy! Toosaka Rin suddenly yelled. ]

[Emiya Shirou thought about it seriously and didn't say anything. ]

[I'm so angry! In other words, you only think about other people's things and don't put yourself at the center at all! ]

[Tousaka Rin suddenly stood up and pointed her finger at the tip of Emiya Shirou's nose. ]1.2

[Hey, wait, Tousaka, finger...! ]

[Stop arguing, don't talk back to me. Oh, really, although I've always felt that it's similar, I didn't expect it to be so consistent! Toosaka Rin approached Emiya Shirou with a very angry look. 】

[Wait, calm down, Toosaka. Why are you so angry? 】

[I am angry because you don't even understand this! Ah, come on, why didn't anyone tell you! 】

[Toosaka Rin's fists are shaking with anger. 】

[Emiya Shirou is silent. 】

[After a while, Toosaka Rin said in a loud voice: "Hmph, okay, it's decided. Tomorrow, I will make you admit defeat." 】

[......It's really scary. You don't want to continue what happened one day, do you? Emiya Shirou thought of the scenes of being chased by Toosaka Rin at school. 】

[Yeah, anyway, just wash your neck and wait, I will let you taste my treasured special program! Toosaka Rin snorted and turned around and walked into the room. 】

[Emiya Shirou sighed, stood up, and came to the entrance of the room. 】

["Tousaka..."]

[Fujimura Taiga suddenly said, "Hey? Shirou, what are you shouting about?"]

[I said I was going to send Tousaka off... But that girl is wandering around everywhere. It will be bad if I don't let her go back. 】

["Hmm?" Fujimura Taiga poked his head out: "Tousaka is staying overnight?"]

"[Weber]: Hmm... Rin and Shirou's ways of being as magicians are really different."

"[Aozaki Touko]: @Tousaka Tokiomi, @Emiya Kiritsugu, what do you think after reading this?".
