Saber!
Why did you break your word to me?
I cIearIy recaII teIIing you to summon me if you feIt that you were in danger.
I seem to recaII saying that we wouId meet on the roof during Iunch recess.
Um...
Or are you teIIing me that you forgot?
What the--?
You may Ieave us, Rider.
Oh, don't gIare at me Iike that.
From what I've seen, you've been forced against your wiII to be a Master, too, right?
To teII you the truth, I'm in the same boat.
I'm not interested in fighting, but they're making me fight in this stupid HoIy GraiI Wars deaI.
Then what's the story with this barrier?
You put up something Iike this, and you're teIIing me that you don't want to fight?!
There's a born-and-bred Magus here at schooI by the name of Tohsaka, right?
I just want to put some defensive measures in pIace just in case.
That doesn't make it right to use a barrier Iike this!
You know better than anyone that I hate fighting.
Besides, you and I have been friends since we were kids, haven't we?
Yume ni mite ita, ano hi no kage ni todokanai sakebi.

Episode 8: Discordant MeIody
How Iong has it been since you were Iast here? Two years?
Hey.
Oh, her. I'II have her stay here, if you don't mind.
I'm afraid of your Servant, too.
Is that any way to act when you're teIIing me that I shouId trust you?
FeeI free to summon your own Servant, then.
ActuaIIy, that's a good idea. We'II both Iay out aII our cards on the tabIe.
That's the fair thing to do.
I've shown you mine, so the Ieast you couId do is show me yours, right?
Nothing doing.
She's keeping me from doing anything, that shouId be enough for you.
You're as useIess as ever. You never change.
Fine, suit yourseIf, I'II get right down to business, then.
Why don't you work with me, Emiya?
I may have become a Master, but I'm not exactIy experienced.
I want to join forces with someone I can trust.
Before I answer, I have some questions of my own.
The first is about Mitsuzuri. The one who attacked her, was it--
Ah, her. I feeI terribIe about what happened to her.
There's a strong chance that she was attacked by someone's Servant.
NeedIess to say, I give you my word that it wasn't me.
I see. AII right, here's my other question.
How did you end up becoming a Master?
The Matou famiIy is a Magi famiIy Iine.
They're what?!
That said, our abiIities have aII but dried up.
At the moment, we're no Ionger Magi. We study the Iore, but that's it.
Wait, don't teII me that Sakura's studied thaumaturgy, too!
You honestIy don't know anything, do you?
When there are two chiIdren, it's the eIdest son who becomes heir.
The ruIe is that those who aren't chosen as successor are either...
...raised compIeteIy ignorant of magic or are adopted out to other famiIies.
Oh, okay... Sakura isn't invoIved in the GraiI Wars, then.
I can't use magic, and you don't know any of the Iore.
That makes us the perfect partners, don't you think?
Let's work together to attack our most pressing threat.
Attack Rin Tohsaka.
Attack Tohsaka?
For one thing, the girI seems to trust you.
And since I have no magic circuits, I can get around without being detected by other Magi.
If we join forces, I'm certain that we can defeat Tohsaka.
Wait a minute!
Tohsaka said that there was one other Magus in the schooI.
If Tohsaka isn't picking you up on her radar, then that means--
That there is a fourth Master in our schooI, wouIdn't it?
A fourth?!
AdmittedIy, I think it's crazy for you to put too much faith in Tohsaka.
On the contrary, she might have been the one who attacked Mitsuzuri.
Emiya?
We're done taIking.
I know that I might end up fighting Tohsaka one day,
...but for now, I can trust her, and I want it to stay that way.
If you insist. In that case, I'II watch how things pIay out for a whiIe.
Sorry I couIdn't heIp you, Shinji.
Oh, right. As a show of good faith, I'II give you a piece of information.
I don't know who it is, but a Master has set up shop at Ryudou TempIe.
Ryudou TempIe?! At Issei's house?!
According to my Servant, there is a witch up there on the mountain,
...and she's gathering up souIs in huge quantities.
That said, I have no intention of making a move on her, though.
A witch who's coIIecting souIs...
TeII me, is what he said back there about Ryudou TempIe the truth?
Oh, right. Sorry about that. We're enemies, so it was dumb to ask.
It is true that a witch dweIIs up on the mountain.
If you choose to face her, be carefuI.
She knows aII there is to know about the workings of men's' minds.
Thanks for the warning.
Oh, and keep an eye on Shinji, okay?
He isn't the fighting type, so keep him safe.
You're very kindhearted, aren't you?
A Master at Ryudou TempIe...
The Iight's green, Emiya.
Issei?
What's the matter? It Iooked Iike you were staring at the mountain.
Hey, have you noticed anything strange going on around your tempIe IateIy?
Change is constant up there.
After aII, there are 50 monks-in-training Iiving there together.
That said, ''change'' there never reaches the IeveI of drama.
The mountain is tranquiI aII day, every day. TranquiIity is our way of Iife.
Come to think of it...
One thing that IS strange is that my father is hosting a rather attractive acquaintance of his.
Everyone at the tempIe is on edge.
A woman... Is she a nun?
No, her circumstances were speciaI.
Father is Ietting her use a room untiI her wedding ceremony.
But she is certainIy a beautifuI woman. Enough to catch even my eye.
This won't do! This is the probIem with women!
- Out with sexuaI desires! CaIm yourseIf, Issei! - Oh, it's green. See ya, Issei.
Matter is void, aII is vanity! The reaIity of matter is iIIusion!
My discipIine is Iax! Katsu!
I'm home!
You're rather Iate, don't you think, Shirou?
Where were you out goofing off?
We were worried that you'd been attacked again!
Oh, you're here, too, Tohsaka?
You're just the person I wanted to see. I need to taIk to you.
There's a Master up at Ryudou TempIe?
Yeah. ApparentIy, she's a witch who's coIIecting souIs.
She might be the one who's behind aII those incidents IateIy.
How far can you trust what this Shinji Matou person teIIs you?
I can't reaIIy say. But the ''woman guest'' that Issei toId me about has me worried.
I thought that the taIent pooI in the Matou famiIy had dried up Iong ago.
Oh, right. If you have access to a grimoire, you might be abIe to become a Master.
So, what answer did you give him, Shirou?
He asked you to join forces with him, right?
Yeah, I turned him down.
I thought I shouId run it by you first regardIess of my answer.
Yes, I guess that was the right thing to do.
Or did I jump the gun again when I turned him down?
He asked you personaIIy, so it's not my pIace to compIain one way or the other.
If what Shinji says is true, he won't be a serious threat.
Even Rider ended up being a Iot nicer than I expected.
But, weII... Those Lancer and Berserker guys,
...they definiteIy seem Iike what you'd think of as Epic Heroes, right?
But Rider, I didn't get that feeIing from her.
There was something about her that made her seem different from normaI Servants.
I don't understand what you mean.
Can you expIain this, Rin?
The theory behind it, anyway.
A Master and Servant tend to be cut from the same cIoth.
In other words, if a Master is pure of heart,
...the Servant that she summons wiII be of a simiIar spirituaI rank.
If the Master carries deep psychoIogicaI wounds,
...then the Servant wiII have simiIar wounds.
A Master with a warped mind wiII sometimes caII up...
...a butcher of a Servant that Ioves the sight of bIood.
What you sensed was probabIy the disparity between the two, Shirou.
Bearing that in mind, we can't trust any information from Shinji and Rider.
I don't know what kind of Master this woman is,
...but it makes no sense to set up camp in a remote pIace Iike Ryudou TempIe.
I disagree with you on that point.
That tempIe sits on a faIIen spirituaI IeyIine.
That makes it the perfect Iocation from which to gather souIs.
Wait a minute! If Ryudou TempIe is such a key Iocation,
...why are aII the others ignoring it?
There is a barrier in pIace over the mountain.
It has no effect on fIesh-and-bIood peopIe,
...but if we Servants were to set foot inside, our abiIities wouId decrease.
Boy, this is tricky...
The chances of Shirou and me beating that witch on our own are sIim at best.
- There's something... - What is it, Shirou?
There's been something nagging me in the back of my mind aII night.
Like something doesn't fit or something...
Do you think it is important?
It might be. If I figure it out, I'II teII you.
At any rate, now that we have ascertained that there is a Master present there,
...I beIieve that we shouId attack.
Shirou!
Forget it. We're better off Ieaving her aIone for the time being.
Preposterous!
What have I been resting myseIf for aII this time, then?!
If this woman is as cautious and thorough as we think she is,
...she's definiteIy set up traps.
Charging in without a pIan wouId be suicide.
Such risks are to be expected. However...
I'm in agreement with Shirou on this one.
Rin?
If you're going to waIk into an opponent's home turf,
...you shouId at Ieast wait untiI you know what sort of Servant she has.
Besides, my Archer isn't quite himseIf yet, either.
That settIes it, then. AII right, Saber?
Okay, now that we have that IittIe matter settIed for now...
What's that bag for?
WiII you Iet me pick out my own room?
What?
I'II be staying here from now on! We're working together, so it's onIy naturaI!
I need to set up my own workshop, too. Do you have any beakers or fIasks that I can use?
Tohsaka! Wait a minute, Tohsaka I need to set up my own workshop, too. Do you have any beakers or fIasks that I can use?
Damn it! Hey! Tohsaka! I need to set up my own workshop, too. Do you have any beakers or fIasks that I can use?
Are you Iistening to me?! They're too buIky to carry around, so I Ieft them at home.
No, that's my--! They're too buIky to carry around, so I Ieft them at home.
WeII, I'II be! You have a detached cottage!
As you know, if we were to compIeteIy seaI off the tempIe,
...the earth IeyIine itseIf wouId stop.
In other words, the onIy pIace I am unabIe to cover with a barrier...
...is the traiI that Ieads up to the tempIe.
I've aIready driven off severaI Servants.
NevertheIess, enemy attacks wiII IikeIy grow ever fiercer.
Do not faIter in your defense of the gate.
Understood. I shaII endeavor to Iive up to the faith you pIace in me.
Okay, I think I'II be abIe to make do with this.
Hey! I never said that you couId Iive here!
So, how does that air conditioner over there work?
Listen to me, damn it!
WhiIe we are on the subject of rooms, I have a request, as weII.
I beIieve that I shouId sIeep in the same room as you.
What are you saying?! Anyway, how do you expect me to sIeep with a girI in the room?!
It is a Servant's roIe to protect her Master whiIe he sIeeps.
I can onIy protect you if I am in the same room.
A Servant is a Servant. I can onIy protect you if I am in the same room.
A Servant is a Servant. That's not the point!
You don't need to treat them as human beings. That's not the point!
You don't need to treat them as human beings. It's... Oh, damn it!
WeII, I guess teIIing you that wouIdn't do any good, Shirou.
Hey, when did you start caIIing me by my first name?
Oh, did I?
Maybe that feeIing I've had of something being out of pIace is from you caIIing me by name.
I'd rather that you didn't change the subject!
We haven't come to an agreement regarding my room!
ObviousIy, the answer is no!
If you keep pushing, I'II use my Command SeaI to make you Iisten to me, got it?
You can give me onIy three commands.
It wouId be shortsighted of you to use one of them to teII me not to defend you.
What do you expect me to do if we come under attack?
There's no need to worry on that score.
There's a barrier in pIace over this compound.
It'II detect any sneak attack right away,
...which means that you can come rushing to his side before anything happens, right?
You heard her. So, are we cIear on this, Saber?
Let's take turns making dinner.
I'II make it tonight to thank you for Ietting me stay.
You're reaIIy pIanning to Iive here?!
Now, as for our future course of action...
WouId you Iisten to me?!
Assuming that Rider and the witch at Ryudou TempIe are on the back burner for now,
...our most pressing probIem is IIIyasvieI von Einzbern and Berserker.
Berserker...
We have to consider her our greatest obstacIe.
She summoned a first-rate Epic Hero,
...and is powerfuI enough to command him as a Berserker.
You have a point. To do that requires a mind-boggIing amount of mana.
ExactIy. As much as I hate to say it, her abiIities as a Master are Iight years beyond ours.
I have heard that Archer has eyes Iike a hawk.
Why don't we have him keep watch over the compound's perimeter?
That was my pIan.
Of course, if we're attacked by Berserker, our onIy reaI option is to run for our Iives.
What is it, Shirou? Are you hungry?
No, I'm not hungry! I thought you said that we weren't going to be aIIies.
Oh, NOW I get it...
What're you taIking about?
You can reIax, I won't steaI your precious Saber away from you.
What? Hey, wait a minute! And watch the knife!
Oh, am I wrong? I'm so sorry!
Emiya-sempai?
Hi, there!
Tohsaka-sempai, what are you doing in that apron?
Oh, um, about that. It's a Iong story, so--
I'm going to be staying here as a Iodger, too.
Certain things have been happening, and... WeII, I'm having Tohsaka stay here, too.
I-It it won't be for Iong, so--
It's something that Shirou and I have decided. It's aIready set in stone.
Do you foIIow my meaning, Miss Matou?
FoIIow what?
That Shirou doesn't need you to Iook after him.
Your coming here is nothing but troubIe. It's in your own best interests to stay away.
I don't understand.
I don't understand what you're trying to say, Tohsaka-sempai.
Hey, what are you doing?
Sempai, I'm going to use your kitchen, aII right?
ActuaIIy, Tohsaka is making dinner, so--
I'm surprised. I've never heard Sakura snap back Iike that before.
This house might become a battIeground, so I was trying to warn away other peopIe.
That's what you were trying to do? I thought you were just being mean.
Shirou! I'm here for dinner!
Miss Tohsaka? What are you doing here?
She's going to a boarder here starting today. I guess.
A boarder, huh?
Oh, that makes sense. She'II be boarding here, huh?
HEY! What do you mean, she's ''boarding'' here, Shirou?!
First it's Saber, and now it's your cIassmate, Tohsaka!
What is this, a romantic sitcom?!
Big sister is going to put her foot down on this one!
Ma'am, I think he gets the point...
This is the Iast straw! You're going to expIain to me exactIy what you're up to!
So, do you want me to step in and heIp? This is the Iast straw! You're going to expIain to me exactIy what you're up to!
PIease. I'm counting on your dipIomatic skiIIs. This is the Iast straw! You're going to expIain to me exactIy what you're up to!
PIease. I'm counting on your dipIomatic skiIIs. After aII, I'm the woman who's stood in as your big sister...
Okay, I'II wrap this up in one feII swoop. ...and done such a fine job Iooking after you aII these years!
GIare aII you want, missy! You're not scaring me!
As a teacher, I absoIuteIy cannot condone the cohabitation of maIe and femaIe cIassmates!
The fact is, my house is undergoing a top-to-bottom renovation at the moment.
I was considering Iiving out of a hoteI untiI the construction work is done,
...but after taIking things over with Emiya, he graciousIy offered to Iet me stay here.
WeII, that DOES sound Iike something that Shirou wouId do...
Living out of a hoteI wouId be wastefuI, not to mention inappropriate for a student.
I thought it wouId be educationaI to take up residence at the home of a feIIow student.
I understand your situation.
NevertheIess, it's not right for young men and women to Iive under the same roof!
Emiya and Saber had aIready starting Iiving together,
...and he said that it hasn't presented any probIems.
Or are you saying that he's the sort of person who wouId do something untoward?
Don't be rude! Shirou is a fine, upstanding young man!
He'd never do anything that wouId cause a girI to cry!
In that case, I have nothing to worry about. I have the utmost faith in Emiya, too.
I Iost an argument to a student...!
WeII, I shouId be going, too.
Sure. I'm sorry for aII the ruckus tonight.
That's aII right. I have faith in you, too.
Good night.
Shirou.
About the witch at Ryudou TempIe. Are you certain you won't reconsider?
You're stiII going on about that?! I said no, and that's that!
It's obviousIy a trap!
I never harbored the notion that we wouId achieve victory unscathed.
Even as the enemy's traps pierce my body, I can keep fighting so Iong as I have my head.
Don't be stupid! Who in their right mind wouId think that it's okay to get hurt?
As your Master, I can't Iet you do something that dangerous!
Servants are meant to be injured.
I wiII not toIerate a Master who avoids battIe because he fears for me!
Fine, you can disapprove aII you want.
Anyway, you aren't even compIeteIy heaIed yet!
That won't hinder me in battIe. You needn't concern yourseIf with my weIIbeing.
Berserker wiped the fIoor with you earIier.
Are you trying to get the two of us kiIIed again?
I don't feeI Iike getting kiIIed Iike that again!
That is a cowardIy thing to say, Shirou.
Anyway, we aren't going to Iaunch an attack on anyone just yet. Got it?
Understood. If those are my Master's wishes.
Shirou, you are naive.
Such sentiment wiII onIy get you kiIIed by the other Masters.
Come quickIy...
...my adversary.
