It's morning at Emiya's place and Shirou had just finished to clean up
the dojo, to the point that the floor shine in the warm sunlight, after
doing that he go to the bathroom to clean up himself and when he's going
out he meets a sleepy Tohsaka walking toward the bathroom.
The girl says to Emiya that he woke up pretty early and the guy asks her
if she's all right but due to the effect of poor sleep Rin falls down to
the floor!O_o'
Lately Tohsaka, Sakura and Taiga are leaving the house, probably after
an extensive breakfast, but they all turn back noticing that Emiya will
not join them so Taiga asks what's going on and Shirou asnwers that he
intends to take a day off saying that he feels pain from his injury as
excuse but his teacher is not so easy to fool and thus he says to got
something more important to take care of, so Fujimura give up, beside
she really trust Shirou.
The three girls take off and Emiya go straight to the dojo where Saber
awaits, he asks forgiveness to keep her waiting and then he question her
about the common clothes she's in because he already imagined her
armoured appeareance for the fighting practice, itěs Saber turn to ask
forgiveness and she propose to change to her Armour immediatly however
Shirou says that is allright adn that besides girls look better in
common clothes and that if he had to choose he prefer the simple dress
instead of her armour.
The two begins to practice, Saber seems determined to really teach
Shirou what a true battle is and so the guy finishes beat up by his
Servant, when Shirou thinks to got a broken bone after a powerful hit
from Saber, the girl saysy that is nothing but a bruise and offers to
wait until it heal.
This time Shirou is determined to go on not caring about the little
wound but Saber force him to stop saying that is meaningless for him try
to it her if his condition are not perfect and Shirou got no other
choiche than to relax for a bit.
The practice goes on with Saber using every error made by Shirou to hit
the guy and after two hours Emiya give up, ashamed to give up after what
he considers to be a brief period of time, but Saber cheer him up saying
that he got nothing to be ashamed and complimenting him for putting his
soul in every blow he tried to deliver, embarassed Shirou asks Saber to
bring him some water.
After the drink, Emiya asks Saber if the reason about her help is only
because she wants the Holy Grail too and why she desiders the Sacred
Arctefact, Saber tries to avoid to asnswer but Shirou definitely wants
to know what is the wish she wants to be granted so he didn't give up
although he says to not want to force her.
Saber Asks him if is an order as a Master and Emiya tells her that it's
ok if she didn't want to asnwer but the girl replies that she wants the
Holy Grail to fulfill a certain duty, a duty she's not been able to
complete during her lifetime or that maybe she wants to start everything
over again.
Shirou is relieved by her answer, saying that he didn't know what would
have done if Saber desire was to be world dominator "like Tohsaka" would
want and Saber says that Rin would be angered if she hears what the guy
just told, she even says that even if Rin obtains the Holy Grail she
don't believe that would do things that can bring chaos to the world.
Emiya jokingly replies that whenever he sees her dictator-like behaviour
he tells himself to not let her got the Holy Grail and Saber answer with
a little laugh and a big rumor coming from her stomach so Emiya goes out
to buy some snack before lunch.
After buying something at a supermarket he even buys some fish-shaped
cookies from a street vendor although he's a little worried by Saber's
expression when the girl expleined her desire and by the meaning of
"starting everything over again", he's so concentrated that he didn't
notice Ilya's presence until the girl grab lightly his shirt, when Emiya
truns around to see who's pulling him he's scared to see none other than
Berserker's Master and falls down!^^''
However Ilya seems to be pleased to meet him and also by the fact he
managed to stay alive, when Emiya asks her if she intends to fight there
the girl replies that it's ok fighting while the sun is down but not in
clear day and asks Emiya's name.
Well due to the foreign origins of Ilya she take a little time to
understand the correct pronunciation of the guy full name so in the end
he tells her to just call him Shirou and leaves, but Ilya follow him
saying that she left Berseker home so they are even because he didn't
got Saber with him, she wants to talk about a lot with Emiya but the
guys insist on the fact that they are enemies, abyway Ilya tells him
that she got no enemies and that if he'll be a good guy with her she0ll
let him stay alive.
Shirou tries to pull her away but when the girl seems to fall he's ready
to catch her, she then look at him with a reallt sad expression asking
him if she hate her and Shirou give up allowing her to got a little talk
with him, the girl run forward inviting Emiya to follow her.
Tehy ends up in a kindergarden and Emiya asks her if she wants to talk
about Saber but Ilya replies that is boring and that she wants to talk
about something more fun, Shirou asks her what she wants to talk about
but because she's not done too much talking to anyone yet she will let
him do the talking alse she says that is a man responsabilities to
escort a lady.
She then falls from over Shirou and stays on him, so the guy asks her if
she got cold and Ilya replies that she don't like cold weather, Emiya
ends up holding her saying that the wind is pretty chilly and he asks
where Ilya come from because her name sounds like a noble one.
Ilya replies that indeed is a noble name, she was born in a castle
called Einzbern where it was always cold and snowy so Emiya says that
since she was born in a cold country she must be used to a chilly
weather but Ilya replies that although she's used to it, she didn't
like cold weather and prefers instead warm things but she still love the
snow, people says that her hair are white like snow, or well, her father
says that.
Emiya agrees, saying that she's like a snow fairy and Ilya tells him
that her fairness comes from her mother and that she's proud of it while
Emiya thinks that is hard for him to consider her as Berseker's Master,
suddenly Ilya stop his thoughts and asks him what he inherited from his
father, at first the guy is a little stupefied by the question but he
then replies that he didn't inherited something physical and Ilya asks
if that means he also didn't inherited his father magic mark wondering
if Emiya is truly a Master.
The guy ensures that indeed is a Master although is only an half capable
magician not a true blood like her, Ilya asnwers that although she's a
Master she never learnt magic so Shirou asks her if she didn't succeded
her parents magic mark but when the girls tries to answer him with
another question he admits to feel that theyr dialogue doesn't connect
so he asks Ilya where did she live.
The girls seems to live in a large forest outside Fuyuki city, she says
there's a big mansion deep inside where her family live during the holy
grail war, Emiya asks her if she came there by herself and Ilya admits
to have snuck out because she was bored and her two maids didn't help a
lot and always confine her inside the mansion the guy seems to be a
little moved by her story and he offers her a Tayaki (the fish-shaped
cookies he bought before) but suddenly Ilya seems to hear a sort of roar
and says she got to run home because Berseker woke up, when she leaves
Emiya remember that Saber is waiting for him and runs home too.
Meanwhile on the school rooftop Tohsaka got a meeting with Shinji and
she seems to smile maliciously at him.
Although Shirou decides to keep his meeting with Ilya for Himself Saber
seems to know about it and she got a discomforted look on her face.
At evening Tohsaka come back saying that there's no progress with the
force filed but that something silly happened; Shinji asked her to team
up with him and of course she refused but because of his pressing
manners she was forced to beat him up a little and she left him after
saying she already got Emiya as a partner, a thing that Shinji doesn't
seems to like very much.
Well after that Emiya goes to the bathroom mumbling about the fact that
Tohsaka doesn't know how to go easy on people but in the bathroom he
finds a naked Saber that's going to take a shower so he runs out of the
room at once but Saber follows him (still naked it seems) saying that
she's to blame for not noticing his desire to bathe but that's very
inefficient for her to not bathe now that she got her clothes off and
she will be leased if he could wait a bit, Emiya tries to answer but he
couldn't emit any sound, and Saber tells him that since is red up to his
ears he got to cool himseld on the veranda.
Shirou says he will do that and that was an accident 'cause he didn't
intend to peek but Saber tells him to turn back and face her and when
the guy turns she tells him that he didn't got to fret whenever he sees
her body naked because she's a Servant before being a woman, in the end
Emiya flees!^^
Lately the guy got a little sorcery lesson with Rin, the girl tries to
teach him the basic of creating a amgic circle inside his body and he
give him a Jewel to eat because the thing could turn on his inner magic
circle, she then explains that his reinforcement spell is a basic level
for tracing, a more advanced spell that permits to duplicate any object,
even weapons although they disappear quickly.
After the lesson Emiya is relaxing himself on the veranda and Archer
appears, the Servant notices that Shirou had turned on his magic circuit
adn the two argues about the fact that Archer thinks is useless to train
a dropout mage like Emiya and that if a battle happens the guy will not
have a chance and that if he cannot win over an enemy in reality he will
force himself to win over an enemy in imagination, in the end it seems
Archer is giving Emiya some advice, although not so clearly understandable.
