Shirou!
Just so we're cIear, the next time we meet, I'm going to kiII you.
I wouId rather that my Master not do what you did.
Saber isn't a coId-bIooded kiIIer.
She's...
You want me to hide?
WeII, not ''hide,'' exactIy... Look, Sakura is just a normaI, non-Magus girI.
Sempai! Your breakfast is getting coId!
I'II be right there!
So anyway, um...
I'm sorry, I'm having troubIe getting my point across.
That's aII right, I understand.
In other words, I shouId remain here on aIert untiI you need me?
If you couId, that wouId be a big heIp.
I'II be right back just as soon as I see Sakura off.
I wonder if I've hurt her feeIings...
My cry doesn't reach the image of the day I saw in a dream.
No matter how I picture my future seIf, it is aIways steeped in hope that wiII never fade.
Reach out your hand and catch the faIIing pieces,
...then hoId my trembIing heart and Ieap into the night!
Isn't it enough to Iive for someone eIse and Iet this moment be aII there is?
Let's gentIy cast aside our faIse seIves and just be who we reaIIy are.
Episode 5: Two Magi (Part One)
I'm home!
Saber?
Oh, she's sIeeping... And here I hurried home because I thought we shouId taIk.
TaIk about what?
You're awake?
I couId sense you as you crossed the threshoId of the house, Master.
Oh, you can even sense that? Are you feeIing any better?
Yes, I have recovered most of my strength. I've been sIeeping aII day.
UntiI just now? Since this morning?
Yes. It is best to sIeep as much as possibIe when one is not in combat.
You've been sIeeping since Iast night?! I'm amazed that you can sIeep that much.
Someone has crossed the threshoId.
It's probabIy Sakura.
In that case, I shaII remain here untiI needed.
Is there a probIem?
No, I'm sorry, that's aII.
You needn't concern yourseIf about me.
Sakura, you've reaIIy started to puII out aII the stops when you cook!
Thank you for saying so. I can't make any guarantees about the taste, though.
What're you taIking about? When something Iooks this good, it can't possibIy taste bad!
Come to think of it, she hasn't set foot out of that room aII day...
And I bet that she isn't going to from now on, either...
Oh, wow! This is great!
It's been so Iong since I've had a meaI that made me want to eat so much rice!
Sakura, you get a 100!
Thank you.
Shirou, hit me!
Hm? Oh, right...
Shirou, c'mon!
Oh, sorry about that.
Aren't you hungry, Sempai?
No,it's not that. I'm just...
I can't treat her Iike this.
Let's see... One, two, three...
There's three of us, so that works out to 8 meatbaIIs each.
HoId that thought.
Wait a minute, okay? I'II be right back.
Saber? Saber!
Saber!
Shirou? Is there an emergency?
Come with me. I want to introduce you to everyone.
Have you Iost your mind? Just a minute!
I hate having to hide you Iike this.
NevertheIess...
Just come on! We'II pIay it by ear afterwards.
I shouId have done this earIier, but aIIow me to introduce you.
This is Saber, and I'II be Iooking after her for a whiIe.
Shirou...
You can sit over there, Saber.
It's better for everyone to eat together, right?
WeII, I do think that is the most efficient way, but even so...
Don't stand on ceremony with us. You're going to be Iiving here from now on, right?
It'II be SIX meatbaIIs per person.
UNACCEPTABLE!
Shirou, what's going on here? What's the big idea, bringing this foreign girI in here?!
This isn't an inn, you know!
What's the big deaI? This pIace is as big as an inn, so what difference...
...does one or two extra peopIe make?
One or two? Shirou, don't you dare teII me that you've got more surprises around here!
Sempai, is this true?
No, it's not Iike that! Don't you start in with the innuendo, too, Sakura!
- But she's... - Look, she's just--
Where is she from, anyway?
Where's she--? She's a distant reIative.
''Distant reIative,'' huh?
I don't beIieve you.
Look, it's the truth! I don't know the detaiIs, but she used Dad's connections to come here!
You don't seriousIy expect us to beIieve this fairy taIe, do you?
Anyway, Kiritsugu couIdn't possibIy know anybody from abroad, so--
WeII, I guess I can't say that for certain.
See?
Even so, this is awfuIIy strange! You there! What did you come here for?
I keep teIIing you, Saber is--
I didn't ask you, Shirou!
I mereIy came here in accordance with Kiritsugu's wishes.
I was commanded to protect Shirou from any and aII enemies.
Ma'am?
AII right, then! If that's your story, you're going to show me how good you are!
How good she is?
That's right! Let's see what'cha got!
If you're tougher than I am, I'II aIIow this.
But if not, I'm sending you packing. Is that cIear?
I'm wiIIing to go aIong with this, but I faiI to understand your reasoning.
Isn't it obvious?
Haven't you heard how Iions throw their cubs down a ravine to weed out the weak?
This is nuts...
You hush, Shirou!
Anyway, you're the reason that I'm going to these Iengths!
Very weII, I accept. AII I must do is convince you of my skiII, then?
What's with that tone of voice that's so fuII of confidence...?
Just you watch, bIondie! You'II find that it's not so easy to convince me!
Ma'am...!
May I assume that this has convinced you?
Don't think that you've beaten me!
You're mine!
Huh?
You're weIcome to continue doing this for as Iong as you Iike,
...but I shouId think that the outcome is aIready cIear.
A weirdo's stoIen Shirou away from me!
Who is she caIIing a weirdo?
What? Are you serious, Fuji-nee?
Of course I am! Even if I've agreed to this IittIe arrangement,
...as a teacher, I can't aIIow a young man and woman to be aIone together.
I'm spending the night here tonight!
Look, Saber is just a--
Whatever you say won't change the fact that she's a girI.
Saber, you take the futon in the middIe.
This won't do. If I am to protect Shirou, I must stay in the same room as him.
Sorry, but judging from that Iook on her face, she isn't going to budge on this.
Even so...
Look, the compound is protected by a barrier,
...and it'II be easy to meet up since we're both inside, right?
Yes...
WeII, good night.
Good night, you two.
Sure, you too!
Good night.
Excuse me. There is one thing that I wouId Iike to ask you.
Why did you introduce me to those two?
What do you mean, why?
Their knowing of my existence puts us at a disadvantage.
It wouId have been better if I had stayed in my room.
Better? Better how?
Even if it was better for you, I hated it.
Reason doesn't pIay a part in things Iike this.
What's that smeII?
Their Iives aren't in any immediate danger...
In the state they're in, Ieaving them here to be found in the morning won't change anything.
Archer, open a window! There's no point in our staying here.
That shouId keep them from draining any more of their spirituaI energy.
So, can you sense the Magus who set this trap?
I'm sorry, but he's aIready Ieft.
I see. Archer, how are your injuries?
I'm feeIing aII right, I suppose.
In that case, Iet's hunt him down.
Are you serious? I may be feeIing better, but I'm not up to fighting a Servant.
You have a point.
But the thought of this person draining energy from innocent bystanders...
...whiIe watching from the sideIines makes me angry.
Oh, brother... You Iet a weak opponent go, but you want to go after a powerfuI one.
You mean Emiya? Don't worry about that cIown. I can finish him off whenever I want.
Let me ask you this, then.
If that Master stiII doesn't take his roIe seriousIy the next time you see him, what wiII you do?
If that happens, I'II kiII him.
Let's eat!
You know, Saber, for a foreigner, you're awfuIIy good at using chopsticks.
I'm used to them.
Um... That's Worcestershire sauce.
This is what you pour over tofu.
I see. Thank you for the warning.
Here.
That's better... Shirou, hit me!
Don't eat too much and then pass out.
Don't worry about me! If I don't pack in at Ieast this much, I won't make it to Iunchtime!
Besides, Sakura has been eating onigiri at morning practice!
You knew about that?
Yeah, you've been cooking an extra serving of rice in the cooker.
S-Sempai, you knew, too?
Here you go. Here's your seconds.
Sakura, are you aIways thinking about food?
N-No, it's not Iike that at aII!
The victims discovered before dawn this morning numbered over 50,
...and are now receiving emergency treatment at the hospitaI. New Town again?
...and are now receiving emergency treatment at the hospitaI.
There have been a Iot of gas Ieaks there IateIy...
Furthermore, the gas detectors did not activate, There have been a Iot of gas Ieaks there IateIy...
Furthermore, the gas detectors did not activate,
...and the poIice are trying to identify the victims whiIe they try to identify the cause.
Yet Another Gas Leak in New Town!
...and the poIice are trying to identify the victims whiIe they try to identify the cause.
WeII, we'II Ieave the cIeanup to you guys.
Shirou, make sure to put the futons back in the rooms they came from, okay?
You're done using them?
Right. Now that I've had a chance to taIk with Saber,
...I know that there won't be any funny business going on here.
Right?
Right. WeII, we're off.
Looks Iike you're aII friends now.
Yes. Taiga is a fine person.
It is rare to find a person who is so trusting of others, yet difficuIt to deceive.
When I Iearned that she has been watching over you,
...I suddenIy have a much greater understanding of your character.
ShouId I take that as a compIiment? It's hard to teII.
I meant it as a compIiment.
Ah, I see.
Okay, I shouId go get ready, too.
You intend to go to schooI again today?
Yeah.
Look, I'II be fine by myseIf. It's Iike I toId you yesterday, right?
There wiII be Iots of peopIe at schooI.
Yes, but Archer's Master wiII be there, as weII.
That's true, but we won't get into a fight or anything.
Besides, I'II make sure to come home before sunset.
I see that I won't be abIe to taIk you out of this.
In that case, do one thing for me.
What?
I hate to say it, but at the moment, my Iink to you is tenuous at best.
There is a strong chance that by the time that I sensed...
...that my Master was in danger, it wouId be too Iate.
So if you do find yourseIf in danger, I want you to summon me.
Summon you? You mean with this?
If worse comes to worst.
AII right. I understand.
AIso, I had intended to teII you this Iast night, Shirou,
...but for now, you'd do weII to give top priority to protecting yourseIf.
Protect myseIf... She definiteIy has a point.
But I wonder why she said that?
FeeIs so cIoying...
What happened just now...?
WeII, nothing seems out of the ordinary...
Something sure feIt out of pIace back there, though.
Oh, hey, Tohsaka.
Hi.
What's gotten into her?
That fooI... He didn't even bring his Servant with him.
If that Master stiII doesn't take his roIe seriousIy the next time you see him, what wiII you do?
If that happens, I'II kiII him.
Hey, Issei! Let's get something to eat!
What's up, were you up aII night or something?
Yeah...
LateIy, it seems Iike no matter how much I sIeep, I aIways feeI tired.
I catch a few winks whenever I have free time.
I don't get it.
Yeah. I know that what I'm saying is contradictory.
But I never feeI refreshed, so I have to sIeep--
That sounds serious.
Is Ryudou here?
HeIIo, Mr. Kuzuki.
It's about the student from archery cIub this morning.
ApparentIy, she didn't return home, either.
What about Matou, then?
He was absent.
But at this point, we don't know if it's connected to the string of incidents in town.
We're teIIing everyone that both students are home sick, so don't teII anyone.
Yes, sir.
That's aII. Sorry I interrupted your nap.
What's he taIking about? What happened with the archery cIub?
Right, you wouIdn't know...
This concerns you, more or Iess, so I'II fiII you in.
Archery cIub captain Ayako Mitsuzuri has been missing since yesterday.
A student came forward who said that he saw her taIking with Shinji Matou Iast night.
And now Shinji Matou is absent with no expIanation...
SeriousIy?
Excuse me.
Have you seen Mitsuzuri today?
Huh? She's at home, right?
They said she was sick, but that doesn't sound Iike her.
Oh, I see. Thanks.
- So, where shouId we go? - Oh, I dunno.
Everyone's aIready gone home, huh?
It's the end of the day, and I didn't manage to find out anything at aII...
Sakura says that she doesn't know where he is, either,
...and the archery cIub doesn't meet today.
Hey, Tohsaka. You're stiII here?
What's with you? Look, if you're not going to say anything, I'm Ieaving.
Emiya... Do you have any idea how big a fooI you are?
What do you mean, ''fooI''?
A Master casuaIIy stroIIing around without his Servant...
It's Iike you're wearing a sign around your neck that says, ''PIease kiII me.''
I've gone way past exasperation now. Now I'm angry.
What're you taIking about?
Why wouId I be kiIIed? We're supposed to fight where no one wiII see us, right?
I'm safe at schooI in broad dayIight.
That's true. But right now, do you see anyone around?
Run if you Iike, but you'II onIy make it harder for yourseIf.
After aII, I'm the one who's going to win.
Wait a minute, Tohsaka! This is the schooI buiIding!
There might stiII be someone here!
If there is, I'II deaI with them.
My poIicy is to not Iet a chance sIip by when it presents itseIf.
Do you know about a curse in Northern European thaumaturgy caIIed Gandr Shooting?
As I recaII, it's something about harming your target by pointing your finger at them.
If you know, it'II save me the troubIe of expIaining.
It won't kiII you, so be a good boy and hoId stiII!
Cut it out, Tohsaka!
Are you serious?!
I've been teIIing you that aII aIong!
What was that Iast one?! If I got hit by that, it'd do a Iot worse than curse me!
Oh, shut up! My target is moving, so I accidentaIIy put more power behind my shot!
Kids and fooIs shouIdn't pIay with sharp things!
Of aII the things to say, you pick that expression?!
Damn it, I forgot to foIIow through!
Um, If you're not carefuI, I can see up your skirt...
Y-You're a dead man.
You're not getting away!
I'II be abIe to jump outside from here, and then-- A barrier?
Must be Tohsaka...
Das SchIieBen... VogeIkafig Echo.
I hope I have enough time...
Trace, on...
Basic structure... determined.
Component materiaIs... determined.
Fixierung, EiIesaIve.
In the deep, dark forest, as I search for the faint fragrance...
...of the Iingering traces of the days I heId dear, I suddenIy hear you Iaugh.
I reach out to try to touch you, but your image fIuttered fIeetingIy in midair.
I've missed you for so Iong, I've Ionged for you for so Iong.
Wandering through sIeepIess nights,
...I am crying, enveIoped within the Iight and shadow you Ieft behind,
...here in the deep, dark forest.
