Chapter 7: Sleeping on a Rainy Night. Various
Looking at the backs of Shinji and Sakura, Shirou wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
The relationship between my friend and this common sister is very cold, and they talk very little. The relationship between the two is basically that one walks in front, and the other follows behind with his head lowered. This has always been the case.
I have also reminded Shenji that he can be closer to his sister, but it seems to be of no use, and Shenji doesn't seem to want to talk about this kind of thing.
It was probably because of complicated family issues, Shirou thought. After all, he heard from Shinji more than once that he saw his father entering a hotel with another woman in his arms.
...
Late at night, the light rain kept coming.
Looking at Shinji and Sakura who were standing under the eaves of the teaching building, Shirou, who had just walked over, said kindly: "Since it's raining, do you want to stay at my house? Although we can't make takoyaki today, there are still a lot of empty rooms.
of."
"Emiya, I..." As he spoke, Shenji showed a frightened expression and covered his chest, half-jokingly: "This is only my first time! I'm not mentally prepared yet!"
"Stop playing." Shirou hit Shenji on the shoulder and replied helplessly, "The bus back to your house has stopped running at this time. Besides going to my house, I just sleep in school."
Glancing at Sakura who was silent with her head lowered, Shenji thought for a while and then replied: "Okay, after thinking about it for just three seconds, I am mentally prepared. It will happen sooner or later anyway."
"I told you to stop joking." Shirou curled his lips, but the next moment his chin was lifted by Shinji who came closer and had an affectionate look on his face.
"I'm serious~"
"How can you make such a joke so naturally in front of your sister?" Shirou knocked off Shinji's hand angrily, "Anyway, we have to hurry up. I didn't expect to stay in school for this long.
It was late, so I didn’t bring an umbrella, and now I have no choice but to run back in the rain.”
"Ah, yes." As he said that, Shinji took off his coat and threw it on Sakura's head.
At this time, Sakura suddenly froze and blinked unconsciously, as if she was surprised by her brother's behavior, but she quickly thought of something. This was probably the same as the previous birthday gift.
——They were all worried about getting a bad reputation if it spread out, so they acted on occasion.
"Follow me and your brother." Shirou said and put his bag on his head.
"Can...is it okay?" Sakura asked Xiang Shenji timidly, "I can go..."
"Whatever you want." Shenji said casually, with no emotion in his eyes, and then stepped into the rain with his bag on his shoulders.
"Emiya, I want to be the first to take a shower!"
"Don't worry, my house has more than one bathroom. Even if there is only one, shouldn't the girl wash it first?" Shirou said with a frown.
However, Shenji had already run a long way away and obviously couldn't hear him. In the end, he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and turn his head to look at Sakura.
"Let's go too."
After hesitating for a long time, Sakura seemed to have made up her mind and followed Shirou into the rain.
...
Emiya family.
"I'm back."
"What are you calling? This is my home, right?" Shirou said angrily.
"Welcome back." Shinji turned around and bowed to Shirou.
"You guys definitely did it on purpose, right? You're saying nagging me at this time! Learn from me, no, good, meaning, thinking, nagging, disturbing!"
"It's okay, please come in." Shenji shook his head as an invitation.
"you!!"
Shirou, who was all wet, pounced directly on Shinji, and the two started a fight in the entrance hall.
Seeing Shinji laughing and making trouble with Shirou on the entrance floor, Sakura felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart, or a sense of gap.
To roughly describe it, his brother is the only one who is so cold towards me...
There was also the surname Tosaka that she heard at the door of the activity room, another school, these two conditions plus [the existence of her brother liking and confessing], at this moment, some negative emotions that existed in Sakura's heart were hidden
The seeds began to take root and sprout little by little.
Of course, Shinji didn't know any of this and foolishly thought that Sakura would fall in love with Shirou sooner or later.
The column about Sakura in the strategy mission is basically ignored.
Shenji didn't know that a certain seed had quietly grown in Sakura's heart after seeing her efforts countless times. Whether it was good or bad, no one could tell now.
...
"Ah, so comfortable~"
In the bathroom, Shinji, with a towel on his head, closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
"Shenji, are you too cold towards your sister?"
"Emiya," Shinji opened his eyes, raised an index finger and shook it, "This is already the thirteenth time."
"Then you should listen to it for once."
"Anyway, everyone has something they don't want to talk about, right? This is what I don't want to talk about."
"What a person you are..."
At this time, Shenji, who seemed to have thought of something, asked casually: "By the way, why haven't you seen Sister Dahe?"
"Sister Teng has gone to study."
Shenji held his chin up and thought: "I see, that's why you want to invite me to your home while no one is doing anything to me."
"Don't worry, Shenji, my sexual orientation is completely normal."
"Does that mean you are really planning to attack me?!"
"Did you even listen to me?"
...
In the living room, Shinji, who was sitting casually at the low table, muttered Udon and said, "It really has to be Emiya's cooking. He came back to life in an instant."
"Thank you for the compliment." Shirou replied while handing a piece of tempura to Sakura, and then looked at Sakura who was sitting next to her with her head lowered, "Sakura...is it okay to call you that?"
"Yes." Sakura, who changed into Shirou's clothes after taking a shower, responded silently, "Thank you."
"It would be nice if you could be more natural like Shenji. You're too reserved. You know your brother has never been polite to me."
"After all, the two of us will live together sooner or later..."
While stuffing a tempura fried shrimp from his bowl into Shinji's mouth to block Shinji's mouth, Shirou said casually: "Shut up."
Shinji chewed the tempura and swallowed it a few times, then squeezed his eyes and said, "This is the strategy, Emiya."
“Just for a tempura fried shrimp?”
“You must know that food is the only thing in this world that you can’t live up to!”
Shirou complained: "Why does it sound familiar? Didn't you just say before that the only thing you can't live up to is cuteness?"
"Then only cuteness and delicious food can't be disappointed."
"Can't you be more principled?" Shirou looked a little speechless.
"How should I put it?" Shenji raised his chin and raised his face as he replied thoughtfully, "Principles sometimes change. For example, if you eat a certain food that you like every day, you may occasionally want to change the taste.
What."
