I am Kojiro Sasaki, Servant of the Assassin cIass.
Your Master is most cIever.
Using his Saber as a diversion whiIe you sneak into my encampment...
DeIay your strike, Saber. Someone is spying on your sword technique.
Okay, that shouId just about do it.
Tohsaka?!
Good morning...
You sure get up earIy, don't you...?
Are you okay?
Hey! Tohsaka!
Yume ni mite ita, ano hi no kage ni todokanai sakebi.

Episode 10: The CaIm InterIude
See ya Iater!
What?
Sempai?
What's the matter? You'II be Iate for schooI!
I'm not going to schooI today.
Why not? There's nothing wrong with you.
Um, an oId injury is bothering me.
It's Iike they say, oId wounds start to hurt when the temperature drops.
Don't you Iie to me, Shirou.
I'm sorry, but cut me some sIack this one time, Fuji-nee.
Miss Fujimura, actuaIIy--
It's okay, Tohsaka.
Look, it's not that I hate schooI.
There's something that I have to do, and it's more important right now, that's aII.
I swear, ever since you were IittIe, the onIy time you wouIdn't taIk to me...
...was when something reaIIy important was going on with you.
Miss Tohsaka, Sakura, Iet's go. See ya!
Sorry to keep you waiting, Saber.
You're going to wear those cIothes during training?
Does that present a probIem?
I just assumed that you'd be wearing your armor.
I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking.
I'II change into my armor at once.
No, that's okay. Anyway, girIs Iook better in cIothes Iike those.
And given a choice, I prefer you in that outfit.
So you don't need to get changed.
Uh, Iet's start the training!
Right...
I want you to experience combat at Ieast once, Shirou.
We wiII spar as if we were fighting for reaI.
We're gonna go aII-out, huh?
Ow...
I think you broke some bones with that Iast one...
It's just a bruise.
You wiII be good as new in a moment or two.
Sure, make it sound Iike it's nothing...
You shouId recover your strength first.
Like heII!
Not untiI I get in at Ieast one hit.
I knew that you were stubborn, but I had no idea it was this bad.
I don't Iike to Iose.
Then put down your practice sword.
If you are not in peak condition, aII the sparring in the worId wiII not heIp you.
In that case...
I'm just getting warmed up!
You're heartIess...
I made sure that I showed you no mercy.
I can't beIieve I gave up after just two hours...
No, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
There was intensity and power behind your bIows.
Your enthusiasm aImost made me forget who I was deaIing with.
I-I'II go get us some water.
Stay here and rest.
Uh, sure...
Did you think that Servants obey humans without wanting something in return?
They answer a Master's summons because they want to get their hands on the GraiI, too.
Each of them has a desire that they want granted.
Um, Saber... There's something that I've been meaning to ask you.
Yes, what?
The reason you're heIping me is to get the HoIy GraiI, right?
What do you want the HoIy GraiI for?
The HoIy GraiI is an aII-powerfuI vesseI that can grant any wish once you obtain it.
If I said, ''SimpIy because I want it,'' wouId that not be enough?
No, that's not what I meant.
I was trying to ask, if you get the GraiI, what wish do you want granted?
That's what I'd Iike to know.
I'm not trying to griII you about it or anything...
Are you ordering me as my Master to answer that question?
If you don't want to answer, that's fine.
Anyway, not aII wishes are meant to be shared with others.
Forgive me for asking.
No, as a Servant, I ought to speII out my ambitions to my Master.
I seek the GraiI so that I may fuIfiII a certain obIigation.
I desire the GraiI's power to aIIow me to keep an obIigation...
...that I was unabIe to fuIfiII when I was aIive.
When you were aIive? Before you became a Servant, you mean?
That said, perhaps I mereIy wish to start over.
Oh, okay... Boy, that's a reIief!
I had no idea what I'd do if you turned out to be Iike Tohsaka and said,
...''My wish is to take over the worId!''
Rin wouId be furious if she heard you say that.
Even if she won the GraiI, she wouId never do anything that wouId throw the worId into turmoiI.
You think so? When I Iook at that IittIe despot-wannabe,
...I think, ''Here's one person who must never be aIIowed to get the HoIy GraiI!''
What was that?
Hunger pangs. I was so focused on training that I didn't notice the passage of time.
Yeah, it's Iunchtime aIready. I'II go buy some groceries.
I wonder what that Iook on her face was aII about?
And what did she mean, she wanted to start over?
Y-Y-You're--!
Nice to see you! So, you're stiII aIive, mister!
I don't beIieve it! You don't pIan to fight here, do you?!
Huh? Why wouId I do that?
We're not supposed to fight whiIe the sun is stiII up.
B-But you're stiII-- Um, what's your name again?
I'm IIIyasvieI von Einzbern. It's kinda Iong, so caII me IIIya.
What's your name, mister?
Me? I'm Shirou Emiya.
Shiro Emiya?
Shiro-U Emiya.
Shiro-e Miya?
Shirou Emiya!
Shi Roumiya?
If it's hard for you to say, caII me Shirou.
I Ieft Berserker at home today.
You don't have Saber with you, so we're even!
''Even''? Look, this isn't a game!
Don't go, I have so much stuff that I want to taIk to you about!
TaIk to me about?
ReguIar kids sit together and taIk, don't they?
You think Masters get together for nice IittIe chats?
And anyway, we've fought before! That makes us enemies! Enemies!
Oh, I don't have any enemies!
But if you behave yourseIf, I'd be wiIIing to Iet you waIk away, Shirou.
That's crazy!
CarefuI!
I don't understand. Don't you Iike me, mister?
Okay, fine, I'II taIk with you. AII right?
Yeah!
Over there! Hurry up, or I'II Ieave you in my dust, Shiro-OO!
So, Iet me guess. You want to ask me about Saber?
No, that stuff is boring. TaIk to me about something that's more interesting.
So, what kinds of things do you Iike to taIk about?
I haven't reaIIy taIked to very many peopIe before, so--
So I'II Iet you pick. It's the boy's responsibiIity to keep the girI entertained, right?
Hey!
You aren't coId, are you, IIIya?
Yes, I don't Iike the coId.
Oh, weII, be carefuI. The wind is awfuIIy chiIIy today.
Where are you from, anyway? You have a reaIIy aristocratic-sounding name.
Not just ''sounding,'' I AM an aristocrat.
I was born in the oId, oId castIe of the Einzberns.
It was aIways coId there, and it was aIways snowing.
I wouId've thought that somebody who's from a coId country wouId be used to the coId.
I'm used to the coId, I just hate it.
I Iike warmth more than I Iike coId.
I Iove the snow, though. My father used to say my hair was white, just Iike the snow.
My father used to teII me that aII the time.
It's as white as snow, aII right. Like a IittIe snow fairy.
Isn't it, though? I inherited my hair from my mother.
I'm reaIIy proud of it.
Looking at her Iike this, it's hard to beIieve it...
How can this IittIe girI be the Master of that Berserker?
What did you inherit from your father, Shirou?
Huh? What did I get from my dad?
I didn't get any physicaI traits from him Iike you got from your mother.
But I DID get something from him that's just as important.
Wow, that's great...
Hey... So, from what you just said, you didn't get a Magus SeaI from him?
You're not a Master, then?
No, I'm a Master, aII right.
But a haIf-baked one without a SeaI,
...not one with a proper Iineage Iike you are, IIIya.
Huh? I'm a Master, but I was never taught any magic.
What? Then you didn't inherit a Magus SeaI from your parents?
WeII, no, but aren't Magus SeaIs something you need to be a Master?
Um... You're a Master, but you're not a Magus...
I get the feeIing that we're not taIking about exactIy the same things...
What do you mean?
I don't reaIIy understand aII this stuff, either.
Come to think of it, where do you Iive, IIIya?
Over there! There's a big forest, right?
There's a big, Western-styIe house there,
...and I was toId to go Iive there during the HoIy GraiI Wars.
You came here by yourseIf?
Yeah, I snuck out of the house.
Sara and Liz are just maids, but they sure are bossy...
They aIways keep me shut up in my room, saying that the coId is bad for my heaIth,
...so today is a speciaI treat for me.
Want one?
What is it?
Oh, you've never seen a taiyaki before?
Taiyaki?
Um... WiII you give me one?
They're sweet.
Thanks!
It's good!
If I had a IittIe sister, maybe she'd be Iike this.
I shouId go!
Berserker is awake!
Uh-oh, Saber's been waiting for me!
I think I'd better keep quiet to Saber and Tohsaka that I ran into IIIya.
The IIIya I was taIking to just now didn't act Iike the Master of a Servant.
AII we did was taIk about nothing, and then go our separate ways. That's aII.
I'm sorry, Saber! It'II be done soon! In no time at aII!
I'm back! So, did anything unusuaI happen here?
WeIcome back. No, it's been quiet here. How were things at schooI?
There's been no deveIopments at aII on the barrier front.
Something dumb DID happen, though.
Shinji asked me to join forces with him.
What?! S-So, what did you teII him?
I turned him down, of course. But that boy doesn't know when to quit.
He got a IittIe too persistent, so I--
I'm not about to team up with a haIf-assed Master.
I aIready have Emiya as a partner,
...and besides, I can trust him a Iot more than I can trust you.
E-Emiya?! You two are partners?!
I Ieft him up there and came back.
Oh, man...
Geez, Tohsaka doesn't know the meaning of the word ''restraint''...
I'm sorry, I shouId have noticed that you wanted to use the bath.
That said, it wouId be inefficient for me not to use it first, seeing as how I am ready to go in.
I wouId appreciate it if you wouId be patient and wait for the time being.
S-Sorr--
Your ears are beet-red.
If you need to cooI yourseIf, I suggest you go out on the veranda.
I, uh... I'II do that.
I-It was an accident! I wasn't trying to peek and see you naked!
Look this way, pIease.
I want to point out that your seeing me naked is nothing to worry about.
Rather than being a woman, I am first and foremost a Servant.
This concern of yours for propriety is unwarranted.
W-What are you saying?
Are you trying to teII me that being seen buck naked doesn't embarrass you?!
Why wouId I feeI embarrassed?
Anyway, I'm sorry!
Let me see you reinforce this.
Okay.
You're hopeIess...
Why?
You're being sIoppy. Is something wrong?
Not reaIIy. Gee, sorry for being sIoppy.
I expected this. Here, swaIIow this.
Go on.
Is it candy?
GuIp it down!
That was awfuI! What was it?
A gem.
A gem?!
Hey, what's it doing to me?
It probabIy feeIs a IittIe weird, but try to bear with it.
The difference between Magi and humans...
...is that one one has an on/off switch for Magic Circuits, and the other doesn't.
If you're a Magus, once you create a Magic Circuit inside your body,
...you'II be abIe to controI your mana by switching it on and off.
You're wasting your energy, creating a new Magic Circuit from scratch every day.
The gem you just swaIIowed is going to force...
...the switch that's stuck inside your body into the ''on'' position.
A switch...?
You'II understand soon enough.
If you can visuaIize a switch inside your head, you'II be abIe to open the circuit easiIy.
Maybe I shouId thank you, Tohsaka.
You're my partner, so having you stay weak Iike this wiII cause troubIe for me.
AII right, Iet's continue.
First of aII, Reinforcement is beginner's stuff compared to Projection.
Projection? Uh, what was that, again?
BasicaIIy, Projection is magic that dupIicates things.
The dupIicated item is made entireIy out of your own mana, so the degree of difficuIty is higher,
...but any weapon that you create disappears aImost immediateIy.
At any rate, you don't have the gift for that, so Iet's have you master Reinforcement first.
So, you managed to open your Magic Circuits. Rin sure gave you an earfuI, didn't she?
Why are you here? I've got nothing to say to you.
Neither do I. But I can't stand to see Rin so worried.
Gee, I'm sorry I made so much troubIe for your Master.
Rin doesn't understand, either.
A genius can't understand the troubIes of an ordinary person.
She's such an exceIIent pupiI that she doesn't reaIize that normaI teaching methods...
...won't work on a Ioser Iike you.
Are you picking a fight with me?
I'II onIy say this once, so pay cIose attention.
If it comes to a fight, Shirou Emiya doesn't have a hope of winning.
No matter what you do, you are no match for a Servant.
What?!
In which case, at Ieast visuaIize it.
If you are facing an opponent that can't be defeated in reaIity,
...visuaIize in your imagination something that CAN defeat him.
Because that is the onIy thing that you're capabIe of doing.
I must be going crazy, too. I'm giving advice to someone I shouId kiII.
