>>33723681 (2/2)

After about an hour of poking, proding, and healing, Sella is looking somewhat exhausted, and the worst of the wound is sealed, though the area is still tender.

"So... Is that it?" I ask, stretching a little. Not much pain, though I can feel it stretch. "Just rest?"

She nods.

"There's still a spell at work, so you shouldn't strain yourself unduly." She says, standing up and nodding to the door. "I need to go finish making dinner now, at any rate."

I look over her again. She's clearly tired from the exertion.

As she leaves, I follow her, catching her on the stairs down.

>"No, let me. You're tired from helping me, so I should take over and let you rest."
>"Could I help, at least? I feel sort of guilty about how tired you are, so..."

I tap her shoulder, getting her attention.

"Sella, let me help with dinner." I say, as we descend the stairs. "I feel sort of guilty about how tired you are, so..."

I hear a crash, much like yesterday afternoon, and as we round the bottom of the staircase, see Ilya with a horrified look on her face again, school supplies scattered everywhere.

Sella sigh, and turns around, her expression changing to a somewhat surprised one.

"...Shirou. You didn't put a shirt on after we finished." She says, shaking her head as I look down at my arms and notice that fact. "Hurry back and you can help me, I suppose."

"Ah, right. Be right back." I rub the back of my head sheepishly and head back upstairs, grabbing a shirt and pulling it on as I return to the kitchen and set to work with Sella.

Sella and I smoothly work together, finishing the dishes she had left half-prepared in practically no time at all.

As we place the dishes on the table, Ilya and Liz move to their places, one sulking, the other looking bored.

Dinner is eaten in relative silence, and, like yesterday, Ilya heads up to her room as soon as things are finished, while Liz and Sella clear the table.


I stretch again. I should get to doing something useful, but I can't 'strain' myself...

I sigh, heading upstairs again. Ilya's door is closed, and when I knock, I hear mumbling, like last night.

"Ilya, it's me." I say, shaking my head. "What's bothering you?"

...There's a muffled "Go away", and I sigh and open the door.

The room's in a little more disarray than last night, but still the same general appearance.

Ilya is again on her bed, face buried in pillows. Again.

"...Ilya, are you alright?" I ask in a concerned tone.

She mumbles something.

"Is there something going on I should know about?" I press, shaking my head. "Bullying? Anything like that?"

There's silence for a moment, as Ilya turns and gives me a blank look.

"Go away!" She says, and I duck back outside as her pillow hits the door frame.

"...If you want to talk, please, tell me. Or Sella. Or Liz. We're here for you, you know." I scoot the pillow back inside, and pull her door closed carefully as she glares at me.

...Must be a girl thing. I shrug.

...I shake my head, and head downstairs, trying to understand the thought process of the feminine mind to no real success.

"Hey, uh, Sella?" I say, peeking around the corner of the kitchen.

She glances over to me from the sink, Liz drying dishes next to her.

"Do you think it's safe for me to practice magic at the moment?" I ask, and she seems to go into thought for a few moments.

"Only what I showed you, and so long as you don't exhaust yourself." She says finally, nodding and going back to washing plates.

"Alright, thanks." I say, heading back upstairs and to my room.

I set to work, focusing on honing the most directly applicable part of my skillset- Reinforcement.

>Magecraft- 9

After about an hour of practice, I feel my arm beginning to burn, and the air in my room feels more 'light' than usual.

With no real progress done, I sigh, cracking open my window and letting fresh air flow in slightly, before changing to my pajamas.

Within a few minutes, I fall asleep.


>Day 4, Morning

I stretch as I sit up, and look at the clock.

...If it were any day but Sunday, I'd be late for school, I realize, shaking my head.

Getting dressed in casual clothes, I think about what I can do with the day

Whoever the chain user was is probably licking his wounds. The dog guy... I don't even know.

Though they mentioned allies, I doubt they'd be that active at the moment, with two of their number injured, at least somewhat. I should be able to move around freely.

Finally pulling on my shoes, I head downstairs, and eat breakfast in relative silence.

Sella is busying herself around the house while Liz watches TV.

Ilya's probably sleeping in.

I walk around the house a bit, eventually finding Sella doing laundry, and taking special care with a shirt of mine.

"So, Sella. Think you could give me some mor-"

I pause as she turns and levels her gaze at me. She appears to be somewhat annoyed, but not quite angry...

"Not right now, Shirou." She says in her normal tone. "I'm dealing with the laundry. And this stain."

...I nod, and back out of the room.

Practicing magic with Sella is out. And since Ilya's likely to wake up soon and work on homework, I probably shouldn't be practicing here, either.

After about an hour of walking around, I finally manage to find a nice clearing in the woods, seemingly untouched by humans.

Firing up the spell on my arm, I feel the warmth I'm coming to associate with this magic as I strengthen my whole body.

I pick up a stick from the ground, and begin to practice reinforcing it, seeing how it changes and reacts with strikes to a nearby tree.

From the gouges it's leaving, I could probably use this to at the very least dent steel. I'm not sure how well it would work on something like those chains I was attacked with, but... It might be able to last through a hit or two.

Moving on, I begin to try and put the Wishcraft that was mentioned through its paces.

...Which isn't as helpful as I wanted, I realize, by the end of my practice.


A glance at my watch shows it to be early in the afternoon, and I'm feeling drained from my practice.

I make for the only Chinese restaurant in town.

Sure, they overspice a bit.

A lot.

Maybe too much, thinking about it, I realize, as I find myself sitting down at the bar, ordering some mapo tofu.

As I start to regret my choice of dining, I hear the door open behind me.

Craning my neck, I see-

...Ayaka Sajyou? With a kendo bag?

I blink as she takes a seat a few stools down from me, and rests her bag next to her. She never struck me as the kendo type... Or the spice type.

She orders, and then sighs, probably out of exhaustion.

...There's a silence as we both wait for our orders to be filled.

Have you ever felt like you're looking in a mirror, even though you're looking at someone else?

>Conversation

I cough lightly, and Ayaka seems to jump in surprise.

"OH!" She says, turning to look at me. "Uh, Shirou! What are you doing here?"

I shrug.

"Pondering my life choices that led me to being masochistic enough to eat here. You?" I say, watching as she blinks.

"...Kinda the same, I guess." Ayaka rubs the back of her head. "Just thinking about something the priest told me."

...Priest?

She seems to notice my curious expression, and nods.

"Over on the other side of town, there's a church." She says. "I sorta... Well, got placed under his care until I was old enough to live on my own, after the fire. I know a few other people who were there, so we meet up and talk a bit every once in a while. Last time, there were... Some odd things said."

...She obviously doesn't want to talk about it, so I sigh.

"So, you like swords?" I ask, pointing to the kendo bag. She looks surprised, but gives a half-nod. "I, too, like swords."

She blinks, and I can see a faint smile forming.

"What got you out of the house, anyway?" I ask, glancing at the clock. Is the cook stalling, or something? "Last time we spoke, you were scurrying home with a stack of books, and Ayako told me to not bother you."

Ayaka seems to be thinking of how to word things...

"I... Decided I needed to change. I was waiting for a Prince Charming to come to me." She says. "I think I need to be able to find him my own."

"And...Kendo?" I shrug, my tone turning joking. "You aren't going to go out there and beat some poor guy half to death, are you?"

She gives me a look.

"I just think it's a healthy sport." She says after a few seconds. "And it's not really kendo. I managed to find a few European swords for practicing, and I've always liked their shape. And the book I picked up yesterday is a big help."

...The restaurant is silent, save for the sound of cooking for a few minutes.

Our respective meals are placed before us, and we both seem to try and minimize the time we have to suffer by eating quickly.

After finishing and paying, we head out of the restaurant, glancing at each other as we step through the door.

>Sparring partner?

"Hang on a second." I say, catching her attention before she goes. "Do you have someone you're sparring with?"

She blinks, before shaking her head.

"No. I just picked up the manual yesterday, and I'm trying to get the forms down first." Ayaka says, giving you a funny look. "Why?"

"Well... If you want one, let me know. I've been looking to work on my own swordsmanship, too, and if someone else is learning a similar style..." I shrug. "We may as well both learn at once, right?"

She seems to consider it for a moment, then nods.

"Alright. I'll let you know if I need someone to practice with." She says somewhat cheerfully, giving me a wave and then going.

I pop my neck, and glance around the street. Nothing really odd, and I'm feeling rested.

I head back to the clearing I had taken over, and set to work again.

"Class Card- Caster. Install." I say, feeling the power flow through me again.

A glance down shows my clothes have changed to that same style, like the last two times.

So. This 'Class Card' is able to give me the powers of... Someone. Who specializes in summoning weapons to use on the fly.

I practice for a bit, summoning just a 'Weapon', and then trying for something specific, like a 'Sword'.

>Magecraft 13!

After a half hour of practice, I'm feeling exhausted again, but like I have some good information.

The more specific I go, the easier it is and less expensive, prana-wise, it is to summon it.

'The Black and White swords' cost roughly 70% of what they cost the first night, and were far easier to summon.

Seconding this. It may not be wise, OOC, but it makes sense for someone who's new to the game. Besides, Irisiviel said she wasn't a threat, so that should make Shirou more willing.

>Bookstore

I drag myself back through the shopping district.

Finally finding myself at the bookstore, I straighten up enough to look presentable, and step through.

...The store feels old.

Looking around, I can't really see anything that might be a magical tome, and the old woman manning the counter... Doesn't seem all that 'mage-like' to me.

Using enough prana to 'sense' the area while behind some shelves from her... I come up empty. No empty space like last time I was here.

"Excuse me." I ask, stepping around to look at the clerk. "But do you have any other staff members?"

...The old woman looks at me for a minute, and shakes her head.

"Not since my husband passed away three years ago." She says sadly.

I hurriedly apologize for dredging up old feelings, and go back to looking at the books for anything that might be remotely magecraft related.

...After too long of searching, I find... Nothing relevant.

Picking up a rather generic book on the uses of various weapons, I head to the counter and pay.

As I walk home, I think about it...

If there's no other employees, and the old woman doesn't feel like that... Who's the mage? It'd have to be a customer...

I shake my head and open the door, putting my shoes away as I drag myself into the house proper.

Well, I think I'm gonna call it for the night. I'm getting too tired/slow to work on updates, and I have work at 6 in the morning.

OP should switch to something like a forum, since he can't really keep up with the post times a *chan quest demands.

>>33739260
We're playing as Prismaverse Shirou and being a superhero.

And it's a Fate quest. It's bound to get weird.

Bump.

>>33739260
I think she is involved in this, she is just too weird to not be involved in this mess and this wish granting group.

>>33745864
Well, obviously.
The only real question is if Sacchin is involved as well.

>>33745864
....Wait a minute.

There was still a fire. The HGW was stopped, but....

Maybe someone's trying to gather prana for a revival of it? Or something?

>>33746376
Maybe... but I don't feel these guys are that related to the holy grail. I mean they aren't using Servants or anything like that.

I do think Ayaka might be another Heroic Liner like Shirou, with her own Class Card or something. So she ends up being the rival/final boss?

>>33746376
Well, yeah.
I mean, it's not like there's much else in fuyuki that involves wish granting.
The only part I'm not too sure about is their references to 'life force', but that could just be their ignorance shining through.

>>33746401
Servants/Class Cards are not required to activate the holy grail, they're just fuel that can be replaced by large numbers of inferior souls.
In the 4th war, so many innocents were killed as collateral that the grail manifested while there were still two Servants left.

>>33746401
They might be. Might not, as well.

What the hell are they even doing, anyway? They don't seem to be magi, or any of the other supernatural things... But there's no way anyone normal can pull chains like that out of their arms, or generate dogs.

>>33746531
Could be Espers?
They all have weird powers iirc.
They could also be demons, I guess, though there'd be much more uproar if that was the case.

>>33746568
I think they might be demons, or maybe they have obtained some magic from the grail?

Actually demons might be the correct answer, I think that the powers these guys have are wishes people have that materialized into demons... by Grail-kun!

Ayaka is probably the Saber-Class Card holder... so that means she transforms into Proto-Saber?

>Day 4- Late Afternoon

I stumble into the house, feeling exhausted. Liz waves a greeting from her seat on the couch, and I see Sella and Ilya sitting at the table, the latter working on what appears to be homework while the former watches on approvingly.

Heading upstairs to drop my new book on arms and armament usage in my room, I sigh as I hear an annoyed shout from my little sister.

Sounds like Sella just corrected her.

Finally returning to downstairs, I grab a glass of water from the kitchen, and try to figure out what I can do now...

>>33750992
So, not that they're demons themselves, but that their powers make use of the element 'demons' to become reality?
Personally I'm fairly sure they are demons themselves, the guy with the chains performed way too well against a class carded Magus for a self-trained Magus or whatever.

What about "using" a demon? Like, having one attach itself to them, and realizing their 'wish' somehow?

Chain guy might just be creative and somewhat experienced, too.

>>33751087
>Distract Sella from Ilya
We need to rebuild our Ilya social link.

>>33751635

Unless they are suffering these drawbacks, but have yet to realise.

>Ask Liz

I slip past the argument at the table, moving to the living room.

"Liz." I start, checking over my shoulder to ensure Ilya is distracted by Sella. "You mentioned that presence yesterday being 'known', right? Who is it?"

She blinks, turning to look at me blankly for a few seconds.

"The heir of a local family of magi." She says turning back to face the TV. "She doesn't have much talent, and her family crest was destroyed years ago."

I sigh. Looks like I'm not getting anything else out of her.


Heading to the table, I tap my side and nod towards the stairs to Sella.

Her eyes flash between me and Ilya, and I feign a wince, getting a sigh.

"Ilya, I'm going to go check on your brother." She says, getting an expression halfway between rage and relief from my little sister. "He hurt himself yesterday, and since he can't really see the spot, I need to look at it."

There's silence for a moment, before Ilya speaks.

"... Fine. I'll just do my homework, then." She says, and Sella nods, standing up.

After a few minutes, I'm sitting on my bed, having the place where I was injured yesterday poked.

"I see you went out and exerted yourself." Sella says, disapproval in her tone. "How much exercise did you do to get this sweaty?"

"None? I just had lunch at the Chinese place..." I say.

...She nods knowingly.

Otherwise, he's not quite as dense.

>>33753847
Eh, you can't really expect the same person to have the same base talents across the entire multiverse.
Just as there are dimensions where the mighty Shinji-oh! has conquered the entire solar system so too must there be ones where Shirou makes Natsuru look like Hydrogen.

>>33753971

U wot m8? I mean, that might be true of this quest, but in actual Prisma Shirou is way, way denser than his FSN counterpart.

Main Shirou is made of swords. This Shirou is evidently made of flesh.

Swords=Denser than flesh.

>>33754196
This Shirou, yeah.
Prisma Shirou, however, is made out of a theoretical supermaterial so dense it has transcended mere gravitic pull and now acts as a dimensional anchor for Kaleidoscope users.

>Other magi families
>Healing

"So, what other families of mages are there in town?" I ask, getting a surprised look from Sella.

She seems to be thinking for a moment, trying to recall something.

"Well... The Tohsaka and Makiri clans settled here a long while ago." She says, rubbing her chin. "Both are, or, rather, were allies to the Einzbern."

I raise an eyebrow, and she nods.

"After the... Event ten years ago, the majority of the von Einzberns disappeared. Your mother, your sister, my sister, and I are the ones who are left, at least, that we know about." She says, sad look in her eye.

"Regardless, the Makiri clan has all but died out, having no circuits of note in their generation. And the Tohsaka broke ties with us after the events of ten years ago, for a handful of reasons your parents have yet to tell me."

She sighs.

There's a brief lull...

"I recognize 'Tohsaka', since a girl at my school has that name." I say, shaking my head. "But she's been out of the country for an exchange program or something for the last few months. Are there any other known mages around?"

...Sella seems to be thinking.

"Yes. One, whose family has basically been wiped out, including their crest." She says, still considering something. "However, Lady Irisviel expressed an interest in 'setting you up' with her, so I rather suspect telling you her name would prove to be unwise."

"...An interest? Like when mom tried to get me to date Ayako, and the time she somehow locked me in the Archery club with Shinji's sister?" I ask, flashing back to those two incidents.

(1/2)

>>33754794 (2/2)

Poor Sakura was so nervous about things that I wound up having to sit on the opposite side of the room, until someone managed to get the doors unstuck and let us out.

"Exactly." Sella nods grimly.

"...And if I know, she'll...?"

Sella gives me a blank stare, and I grimace.

"So, you have no idea, too. Great." I pinch the bridge of my nose. "Is it the same 'non-threat' that Liz mentioned, at least?"

"Yes." She rubs her own forehead. "Now, could we move off of your mother's scheming?"

I sigh after a second, and nod.

"How's my healing coming? I know I burned through a lot of prana today, but..."

Sella's expression changes, to a more clinical one, and I feel a tingle run through my body.

"Your side is almost completely recovered." She says, seemingly satisfied. "I honestly expected you to disregard me, and engage in physical activity."

"When someone who just patched together a hole in my side says to not do something, I don't." I shrug.

A glance at the clock shows it to be a bit later than I expected- almost time for dinner...

I sigh as I stand up, and nod towards the clock.

Sella gets the message, and the two of us start to head downstairs.

"I'm going to go see if Ilya still needs help." I say, glancing at Sella as we head round the corner at the foot of the staircase. "After we're done, I'd be happy to help you with dinner."

She nods happily, and we split up,


Taking the spot Sella left to talk with me, I look over at Ilya, who's....

Intently staring at her papers and book, ignoring me.

"Ilya?" I ask, giving her a concerned look. "Do you need some help?"

"No." She says sharply. "I can do it myself."

...I shrug.

"Alright. If you do need help, come get me and I'll be glad to." I say, standing up to go help Sella.

Ilya grumbles, and I hurry into the kitchen.

...

>Cooking 14!

We fairly quickly make batter and slice vegetables, Sella working under my direction as the oil begins bubbling for the tempura.

I start to prepare the udon, and after a fair while we finish.

Dinner is as quiet as the last three nights have been, and Ilya again heads up to her room when she's done eating.

I head up to my bedroom, getting things together for school tomorrow before passing out like a light.

I yawn, pulling myself out of bed.

My uniform is laid out, and I quickly dress in it, noting the absence of marks from the attack on Thursday night.

Heading downstairs, I eat a quick breakfast, waving goodbye to Sella and Liz as I head out the door with my bag and lunch. I climb onto my bike and getting moving as quickly as possible.


...

Arriving at the high-school, I lock up my transport and head in to homeroom.

!!

Not even a day after a conversation regarding her, Rin Tohsaka is back in class, seated primly, next to the window, one row over from mine.

She gives me an appraising look as I sit down, slinging my bag under my seat, but before I can speak to her, our teacher comes in a little early, looking his usual grim self.

"Class. We will be having a foreign exchange student for the next few months." He says, adjusting his glasses as murmurs begin to circulate the room.

Tohsaka sighs, and I glance over to see her rubbing her face in exasperation.

Iri also didn't know magic was involved in Illya's early troubles in Prismaverse, just that her daughter was going through a rough patch of growing up. Plus, Iri (if it was her, since I can't recall right now) could have lied for our own good, since we're a blockhead and might have blabbed by accident.

>>33757339
this.
Shirou is fairly dense and tends not to think on long term ramifications when it comes to consequences so him blabbing doesn't sound that out of the way.

In addition nobody even knew about anything to do with Illya's shenanigans until the second part when Kuro showed up and causing all kinds of mischief.

therefore its safe to assume at least as of this moment, if illya was currently doing her magical girl shenanigans, people probably won't figure it out till later when Kuro shows up and begins to screw with Illya's life royally.

"...Tohsaka." I ask in a whisper, leaning over. "Do you know the new student?"

She nods near imperceptibly.

"She was at the school I was attending in England, Emiya." She hisses back. "I wouldn't dare say anything bad about her, but we certainly had our differences."

I nod.

If the perfect student Rin doesn't get along with her, she must certainly be-

There's a cough, and I look up. It seems like our teacher already brought in the new student, and is letting her have a chance to start.

She's familiar looking, somehow- perhaps

"Greetings, commoners!" Her tone is brash, prideful, and 'elite'. "I, Luviagelita Edelfelt, once more grace this city with my presence!"

"Now, I shall take my rightful place, at the center of the room!" She continues, heading towards-

The empty seat to my right.

Putting me in between her and Rin.

... I brace myself for a harsh day as she takes her seat, before-

Smiling at me charmingly?

"Hello there." She says, and I can feel a strong glare to my left. "I suppose I should ask your name if I'm going to be sitting next to you for several months. You are?"

What.

I can feel a death glare at the back of my head, and stares from my male classmates, half in awe and half terrified.

Luvia seems happy with the response, smiling, then turning to face the teacher as I rotate my head and give Tohsaka a blank look, enduring the glare from hell.

....The classroom is silent for a few minutes, before our teacher drops a book on his desk with a thunk, causing us to all look at him in panic.

"Now, with that out of the way, turn to page forty seven of your book." He says, adjusting his glasses so they gleam. "We have two days of work to catch up on, after all."

I sigh, pulling out my text book and bracing for the lecture, death glares being fired at and over me the entire time.

The peaceful reprieve of lunch appears, and I bolt from my seat, dragging my bag with me.

I slip through the halls, and out towards the sports buildings.

The archery dojo should be relatively quiet, and neither of them would think to look for me there.

Pulling the door closed behind me as I step in, I'm greeted with a quiet gasp.

...Sakura Matou seems to have had a similar idea, and is sitting on one of the benches, bento open and on her lap.

"Uh... Hey." I say, giving her a small wave. "I just thought I'd get clear of the argument going on in my classroom."

She seems a little startled, and I shift uncomfortably.

"If you don't want me to eat here, though, I can-"

"No, no! It's fine!" She says, waving her arms. "I was just surprised."

I nod, heading to another of the benches and taking out my own lunch and starting to eat.

"No, no... It's... other people. I don't mind if you join me again." She says, expression turning soft.

"She'll be happy you're considering coming back." Sakura nods.

....

I look at the range. The targets are in a row, and I can visualize a path to each...

>Archery! 20!

Drawing and shooting as quickly as I can, I strike three bullseyes precisely, with enough force to pierce through, arrows embedding themselves deep in the targets, probably to the wood easels.

I hear a gasp from Sakura, and go to put away the equipment I borrowed.

She seems stunned, but as I start to retrieve the arrows, speaks up.

"Please... Leave them. I think Ayako would like to see this." She says, and I glance back to her.

Her expression is one of pure awe.

...

"Alright." I shake my head."Tell her that it was fun, and I'm still considering rejoining, if she needs me."

Sakura nods, and I pick up my empty lunchbox and bag, heading back to my classroom.

...

Aside from the glares across me, the rest of the day is relatively pleasant, my accuracy remaining with me leaving me in a good mood.

>Day 5, Mid-Afternoon

Heading out of school, I see Rin and Luvia arguing as they head towards Shinto. For being rivals, they seem fairly buddy-buddy....

I hear feet running behind me, and a glance over my shoulder shows Ayako running towards me from the archery range, expression a mixture of awe, anger, and hope, Sakura not far behind.

Looking forwards again, I can catch sight of Ayaka, kendo bag slung over her shoulder, walking in the direction of a park I'm familiar with....

And I'm gonna call it there for the night, I'm sorry to say. Way too late for another update, and I'm slowly losing my train of thought, I'm sorry to say.


If I've got the energy, I'll throw up a thread tomorrow evening.

'night.

Understandable.
Night Moon. Was fun.

Totally gonna need to put off talking with Ayako until the morning at archery practice. That should placate her until then and allows to, probably, follow someone.
>>33761759
Later man. Thanks for continuing & see you next time.

>chance with Ayako
>didn't go for it
Okay, this Shirou is infuriating.

>>33765948
At least we can still go the Sakura route, she is probably the best girl in this world too!
