[Five years after the Fourth Holy Grail War. ]

Without any warning.

The following words suddenly appeared on the screen.

“[Weber]: Five years after the Fourth Holy Grail War, what’s so special about this time?”

“[Da Vinci]: This is the time when Emiya Kiritsugu died, right?”

“[Irisviel]: What else happened in between?”

[Hogunhara Academy Junior High School. ]

[The golden evening glow filled the sky. In the school’s teaching building, Sakura Tousaka was walking in the corridor with her schoolbag. A casual glance at the playground showed a lonely figure in the middle of the playground, with high jump equipment not far from him. 】

[He walked a few steps, then started to run, and after a leap, his back accidentally scraped against the high jump bar, and the bar fell. The boy climbed up from the mat, picked up the bar, set it up again, and walked back to the previous position. 】

[Another run, another leap! The bar fell! 】

[Over and over, over and over again, the bar fell on the spot every time. 】

[The girl leaned close to the window and stared blankly. 】

[At the same time. 】

[A voice sounded. 】

【"It was a fiery red evening, the playground and corridor were dyed fiery red, very beautiful, but revealing a sense of emptiness. At that time, someone was practicing high jump on the playground."】

【"At that time, I was like a fool, watching another fool on the playground doing useless work. If I felt that I couldn't do it, I would give up decisively. In the end, I am a very cold person."】

【I don't know how many times he fell, or how many times he failed. The boy seemed to have noticed and turned his head. At the entrance of the playground, a girl with twin ponytails was standing there, staring at him. It was Rin Toosaka. The breeze blew Rin Toosaka's twin ponytails. Her beautiful eyes slightly dilated and stared blankly. 】

【Shirou turned his head, put down the horizontal bar, walked back to his original position, and started again. 】

【The golden evening glow became darker and darker until it was dark. The figures who had been watching Shirou were still standing there. 】

"【Aozaki Aoko】: This... Shirou is still in junior high school, he is practicing high jump!"

"【Xiaogang】: What's the point of watching such a stupid video."

"【Aozaki Touko】: Why is my heart beating for no reason?"

"【Arquette】: Ahhhh! Meilian, where is the plane ticket you prepared for me? I want to go to Fuyuki!!!"

"【Ereshkital】: It's Shirou when I just lost Emiya Kiritsugu, right? I'm so curious about everything about Shirou now! Ahhh, Shirou, are you willing to come to the underworld to play?"

"【327 Lilith】: /blush, that, that..."

"【Maeve】: Ahhhh!! I want to manifest! I want to tie Shirou to my beloved chariot! No! Shirou is my true love now!"

"[Cuchulainn]: What's wrong? What's going on?"

"[Blackbeard]: I used to be dismissive, but now I learn frame by frame!!!"

"[Weber]: Are all the female heroes upside down? Isn't it just a high jump?"

"[Gon]: Blackbeard, is it this scene that made Rin and Sakura, two beautiful girls, fall in love with Shirou at the same time?!"

"[Luvia]: Shirou is mine!! Mine!!! Mine!!!"

"[Ryougi Family Head]: Everyone, that, although it is not necessary, I think I need to reiterate that my daughter will arrive in Fuyuki City and meet Mr. Fujimaru Shirou in Fuyuki City soon. Engaged."

"[Holmes]: So that's how it is..."

"[Da Vinci]: What did Holmes know?"

"[Holmes]: This is a brand new Noble Phantasm data. Take a look."

"[Holmes]: Noble Phantasm data——

Name: Shirou's Pole Vault

Level: EX

Type: Anti-World Noble Phantasm (Special Attack on Women)

Range: 1~

Maximum Capture: 1~"

[The screen slowly dims, and then a line of words appears again——Summer, one and a half years ago, the fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.]

[The sound of cicadas chirping resounds continuously. Under the clear sky and white clouds, Shirou slowly stands in the center of the Kyudo Club activity venue of Hogunhara Academy High School. 】

[Wearing a Kyudo uniform, he slowly stood still, bent his bow, put an arrow on it, and pulled the string. 】

[Behind him, Mizutsu Ayako and Matou Shinji, who were also from the Kyudo Club, sat upright, while at the door, instructor Fujimura Taiga and senior students watched Shirou's movements. 】

["-Swish!"]

[Shirou shot an arrow and hit the bull's eye! 】

["This Emiya Shirou is pretty good!"]

["Is it not bad?" Fujimura Taiga smiled proudly with satisfaction. 】

["Well, with Mizutsu Ayako and Matou Shinji, it looks like we'll win the rookie competition."]

["Yeah, yeah." Fujimura Taiga nodded his chin as he watched Shirou shooting arrows. 】

【“But, Mr. Fujimura…”】

【“Hmm?” Fujimura Taiga looked at the senior. 】

【“Among the first-year students, this Emiya, should we say he is different, or what… I can’t tell…”】

【Shirou shot another arrow, hitting the bull’s eye again. 】

“[Cuchulainn]: I said, the Archer class is not groundless.”

“[Weber]: The Archer of the future!”

“[Diarmuid]: You’ve just entered high school, and your archery skills are already so amazing.”

【Suddenly, the scene changed, and under the gloomy sky, Matou Shinji leaned against the door frame: “You actually got injured because of a part-time job before the competition, what are you doing? How much trouble will this cause to everyone?”】

【“Sorry.” Shirou, with his entire right arm bandaged, looked over apologetically: “But aren’t you and Mizue still here? It’s okay for me not to participate at my level.”】

【Matou Shinji tilted his head when he heard this, but didn’t say anything. 】

【Shirou apologized again in a low voice. 】

【The camera zoomed out little by little, and once again looked down, the panoramic view of the Emiya family’s mansion appeared on the big screen. Shirou took out the key, opened the door, and returned home, shouting: “I’m back!”】

【The room was pitch black, and no one responded. 】

【Shirou’s expression froze for a moment, then he walked in, turned on the light, and the living room suddenly became bright. There was a note on the table: Don’t worry, wait until your injury is healed, and then come to participate in the club activities. I’ll go see you later, Taiga. 】

【In the lower left corner of the note, there were also a few cute tiger heads drawn. 】

【Shirou smiled and began to live alone, cooking, eating and practicing magic alone. 】

【It was already seven or eight in the evening. It was raining heavily outside. Shirou was lying in the warehouse when he heard the doorbell ring outside. 】

【Shirou opened his eyes and walked out. A girl was standing at the door of his house, all wet. 】

【It was Sakura Matou. 】

【“Ah, you are Shinji’s sister, right?” 】

【“Yes.” The rain flowed down from the girl’s hair, across her face, and fell on the stones. Some of them were too shy to look up. It seemed that the silence just now was to muster up courage. They slowly raised their heads: “My name is Sakura Matou.” 】

【She was a very beautiful girl. Her eyes were not black, the native color of the Fuso people, but purple. However, her eyes were full of gray. 】

[Bringing Matou Sakura into the house, Shirou found his old clothes and gave them to Matou Sakura, and handed her a dry towel to wipe her hair. 】

[The door to the living room was pushed open, and Fujimura Taiga walked in: "How is it? How is the injury on your shoulder?" 】

[When he met Matou Sakura's eyes, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. 】(To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

[Fujimura Taiga was about to rush over, Shirou quickly stood up: "No, it's not what you think..." 】

[After explaining Matou Sakura's origins, the three of them sat down again calmly. Shirou looked at Matou Sakura and said: "So, I have been alone all this time. Besides, how can I trouble my friend's sister to help!" 】

[Fujimura Taiga, who was standing by, crossed his arms and nodded his chin in approval. 】

[Matou Sakura wore Shirou's sweater and shook her head without saying anything. 】

[Fujimura Taiga pondered: "As Shirou's guardian, I don't agree to do this either. I will come to help with the housework here, (bich) you don't have to worry!"][]

[Matou Sakura still didn't say anything and shook her head. 】

[Shirou and Fujimura Taiga looked at each other, neither of them=|

[Suddenly, the camera jumps to the next day, a sunny day.]

[The doorbell rings, and Matou Sakura, wearing a junior high school uniform, stands at the door of Shirou's house.]

[The camera jumps again, it's dusk.]

[The door opens, and Matou Sakura is still standing there.]

[The camera jumps again, and it's still Matou Sakura, but this time, Fujimura Taiga is standing behind her.]

[Fujimura Taiga scratches his head embarrassedly: "We just happened to come here together!"]

[Shirou reluctantly welcomes the two into the house, and also begins to teach Matou Sakura how to do housework.]

["The dishes are placed in the upper closet, and the rice storage box and kitchen knives are placed below..." In the kitchen, Shirou is instructing from the side.]

[In the bathroom, Shirou looks at Tohsaka Sakura carrying his dirty clothes. 】

[In the courtyard, Matou Sakura was drying her bedding. When she was holding up the pole, she almost fell down, and Shirou, who was sitting on the corridor, almost rushed over in fear. 】

[Under the dusk, Shirou taught Matou Sakura how to fold clothes: "First, fold the clothes flat from the back of the clothes at the shoulder position, and then fold the sleeves along the fold line, and that's it." 】

[Because Shirou's right hand was bandaged and in plaster, he could only fold it with his left hand. 】

[But after Matou Sakura folded it, she found that the clothes she folded were still wrinkled, not as good as Shirou's one hand, and she lowered her head in frustration. 】

["It's okay, it's folded like this." Shirou comforted her. 】

["I'll fold it again." Matou Sakura said, and started moving again. 】

[Shirou looked at Matou Sakura's profile and said, "Hmm": "Then, let's start from the beginning..."]

[In the evening, Matou Sakura stood at the door and bowed to Shirou and Fujimura Taiga: "Well, I'll take my leave first!"]

[Fujimura Taiga smiled and waved: "See you tomorrow, Sakura~"]

[After Matou Sakura left, Shirou sighed deeply. ]

["I remember that day a year and a half ago, I lost to a girl who was younger than me but very stubborn." Shirou's voice sounded. ]

[The next second, a line of words appeared on the screen again. ]

[One year and three months ago, autumn. 】

["Then autumn came in a flash. My shoulder had healed by then, but Sakura still came to help every day. Whether it was because Sakura wanted to do this or I hoped that she would continue to come, perhaps... it doesn't matter anymore."]

["If I have to say that I have changed, it is that I have left the club. It just so happens that I also want to use my time to work more. I originally joined the club just to exercise my body. How should I put it, it's not bad now."]

["As for the other change, but this change is a bit insignificant..."]

[It's still Shirou's voice, and it's still the Emiya family's mansion. ]

[ShirouInstead of using the key to open the door, Shirou opened it directly: "I'm back!"]

[Sakura appeared at the end of the corridor, running on tiptoe: "Welcome home, senior."]

[Above the sweet smile, there was a strange glow in the purple eyes.]

[Shirou smiled and stepped into the room.]

[The camera zoomed away little by little, and Shirou's voice sounded again: "The change is that I almost never use my own key to open the door."]

[Shirou slowly closed the door and went home with Matou Sakura. 】

"【Holmes】: This is the past of Shirou Emiya and Sakura Matou, which means——"

"【Da Vinci】: The heroine this time is Sakura Matou!"

"【Tousaka Rin】: Sakura!!! It's your turn to be the heroine!"

"【Tousaka Sakura】: Can I be the heroine too?"

"【Aozaki Touko】: Tousaka Sakura, don't underestimate yourself, everyone is their own heroine!"

"【Cu Chulainn】: So, Tousaka Sakura, this child's housekeeping work was taught by Shirou!"

On the screen, time changes again.

【One year and two months ago, winter】

【Snowflakes fall quietly in Fuyuki City, and the electric heater is turned on to the maximum in the Emiya family mansion. 】

[Matou Sakura was sitting on the coffee table in the living room doing her homework, while Shirou was sitting beside her holding a book. He was not reading the book, but looking at Matou Sakura. 】

[The girl showed a difficult expression, poking her chin with the end of the pen holder and thinking about the problem. 】

[Shirou looked at her with a smile. 】

[Suddenly~]

["Aho~" The door was pushed open, and Fujimura Taiga walked in with two big bags in Santa Claus's outfit: "Merry Christmas!" 】

[The three of them immediately started Christmas dinner. 】

[Fujimura Taiga held a goblet and drank one glass of wine after another. 】

["Come to think of it, Shirou has always been imitating Kiritsugu, saying that he wants to be a partner of justice." 】

[Matou Sakura sat opposite holding a drink and listened attentively. 】

[Shirou in the kitchen turned his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "What are you talking about~ You drunkard, really..."]

["Mr. Kiritsugu, you are the senior's father, right?"]

[Fujimura Taiga looked at Sakura Matou and nodded with a "hmm": "To Shirou, Kiritsugu is his hero, so Shirou wants to be like him!"]

["Sakura, there is a role model you want to emulate, right?"]

[Sakura Matou scratched her head and showed an embarrassed expression: "My hero..."]

[Shirou just sat down with the last plate, and while listening to Sakura Matou carefully, he began to gnaw on the chicken leg. ]

[The scene suddenly changed, winter was over, and spring came. ]。
