"I feel like... something's not quite right."

Saber frowned slightly.

But Irisviel didn't give her any more time to think.

“Let’s go check out that shop over there, Saber!”

"Hey, Alice—"

Saber was about to remind Irisviel not to be so reckless, but Irisviel, who was like a child unleashed, pulled her away from where she stood.

……

Shirou had Karna use magic to change his clothes, dressing him in a white suit so he could follow him around like a bodyguard.

They arrived at the spacious city center, which was not far from the airport, so business was booming there, with all kinds of shops lining the streets.

After walking around the shopping street with Sakura for a while, Shirou stopped in front of a clothing store.

A female shop assistant dressed in professional office attire approached Karna, who was standing next to Shirou, and bowed slightly.

"welcome!"

Karna's striking good looks and gentle demeanor made him attract everyone's attention like the sun, and it was clear that the female shop assistant was captivated by Karna's beauty.

“Pick out a few clothes that are suitable for this child.”

Following Shirou's instructions, he spoke to the female shop assistant.

The female shop assistant glanced at Sakura, who was standing somewhat timidly behind Shirou, and at the clothes she was wearing. She nodded and led Shirou and the others toward the women's clothing section.

While the female shop assistant was making her selections, Shirou and the others sat on chairs to the side and waited.

The young girl sitting in the chair nervously swung her fair legs, her gaze fixed on Shirou, as if only in this way could she dispel the unease that came with coming to the outside world.

Soon, the saleswoman enthusiastically picked out several dresses for Sakura, including a white long dress and a gothic Lolita dress with a darker vibe.

The girl in the white dress looked like an exquisitely beautiful doll, completely dispelling the gloomy feeling she had after leaving the Matou family. To keep warm, she wore white fleece stockings.

The black gothic maxi dress paired with matching velvet stockings and flat-soled shoes creates a dark and edgy feel, but Sakura's striking appearance creates a wonderful chemistry, further highlighting her...

beautiful.

"Yeah, very good."

After seeing Sakura, who looked even more vibrant in her new clothes, Shirou was very impressed with the saleswoman's taste and paid for the clothes without hesitation.

That was the funding given by Mrs. Orihara.

Otherwise, Shirou will have to find other ways to make money.

After putting on his brand-new clothes, Shirou pulled Sakura away from the clothing store, intending to take her to the amusement park for some fun.

As Shirou was walking back with Sakura, someone bumped into him, causing him to stagger slightly.

Shirou looked up with some displeasure, and then saw a head of long, flowing silver hair that shimmered like snow.

That face, so beautiful and perfectly crafted it resembled a doll, and her own crimson eyes caused Shirou to pause in surprise.

"Irisviel!"

Behind the woman, another blonde girl ran up and quickly apologized to Shirou on Irisviel's behalf.

"Um... I'm so sorry!"

Whether it was a misperception or not, Saber felt that the red-haired boy paused for a moment when he looked in her direction before waving his hand.

"fine."

Shirou hadn't expected to run into Irisviel and Saber here, which is why he was stunned when he saw them.

As Saber looked away at Irisviel, Shirou secretly glanced at the girl who was less than a meter away from him.

Her golden hair was tied into a single ponytail. The petite girl, who was only about 1.5 meters tall, was wearing a French-style black coat, a menswear style, but no one would think it looked out of place.

Saber's dignified aura perfectly complements this outfit. Her beauty isn't the kind that's gender-bending, but her charisma makes her beauty different from the glamorous looks of ordinary women.

Her slender figure, fair skin, and pure temperament would inspire genuine admiration from anyone who saw her.

'I'd seen the animation before, but seeing it up close was a completely different experience.'

Shirou couldn't help but marvel.

Whether it's Irisviel, who was already a wife at the age of 'nine', or Saber, who dressed as a man and whose original ideals had not wavered in the slightest, both are beauties who surpass all others.

Although he was amazed when he first saw them, Shirou knew his limits. He could explain his gaze as admiring their beauty by looking at them for a few more seconds, but if he looked too long, it would be easy for people to notice something amiss.

So, Shirou withdrew his gaze and, without pausing, took Sakura's hand and left.

"So all the important figures have already gathered in Fuyuki City... It seems like our shopping trip can't continue..."

……

As the sun sets, its orange glow bathes the entire city in a golden light.

The streets were bustling with people, who had no time to appreciate the magnificent sunset. They were all rushing about, busy with their own affairs.

Having already taken Sakura home and made Karna a spirit, Shirou walked alone among the crowd.

"It's almost time..."

Shiro arrived at a warehouse street located on the eastern side of the seaside park.

This area also features harbor facilities, separating the new capital from the industrial zone located further east.

There are hardly any people here at night, and the street is dimly lit.

The driverless cranes are neatly arranged along the beach, looking like giant dinosaur fossils.

Golden light emerged beside Shirou, and Karna's armored figure appeared.

Chapter Seventeen: Heading Straight to Caster's Lair!

As Shirou watched the last ray of light disappear below the horizon, he closed his eyes slightly.

Scenes from the story played back in his mind like slides, and soon Shirou spoke to Karna.

"If I'm not mistaken, Assassin should appear in the southeast direction. Go and take care of him!"

"Assassin?"

Upon hearing Shirou's command, Karna looked southeast without hesitation and then saw a dark figure crouching on a high place.

In an instant, Karna unleashed a speed that reached A-level, leaving a golden shadow as he charged toward Assassin!

At this very moment, Kirei Kotomine, who dispatched his Assassin to investigate the warehouse district, is sharing vision with his Servant, who is also an Assassin.

From the Assassin's perspective, Kirei Kotomine saw the warehouse district illuminated only by the faint moonlight and streetlights in the darkness.

"Huh... what's that...?"

Suddenly, Kirei Kotomine saw a golden shadow through his Assassin's perspective.

But it disappeared from sight in an instant, which puzzled Kirei Kotomine.

Just as Kirei Kotomine was about to order Assassin to turn the camera, he suddenly saw a golden spear thrusting towards him from Assassin's perspective!

Whoosh!

In just a moment, the visual connection between Kirei Kotomine and Assassin was severed.

"this……!!?"

Kirei Kotomine, who witnessed the scene from a first-person perspective, was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. Although his physical combat strength was among the strongest of humans, he was ultimately no match for a top-tier Heroic Spirit like Karna.

Therefore, before he could even react, he witnessed such a perilous scene, and even though it was brief, it caused Kirei Kotomine immense psychological trauma.

"We need to notify the teacher immediately..."

Despite the discomfort caused by his mental trauma, Kirei Kotomine began contacting Tokiomi Tohsaka.

……

"All done, Master!"

Karna's figure leaped between the tall buildings and finally returned to Shirou.

"Yes, well done. However, Assassin has many clones. What you just dealt with may only be one of them."

Upon hearing this, Karna raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Is it……"

"Speaking of which, what do you think of Assassin's skills?"

Shirou asked.

Upon hearing this, Karna confidently weighed the "Undying Blade" in his hand.

"If it's like the one just now, it doesn't matter how many come."

"Is that so?"

Shirou nodded, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before speaking to Karna.

"That's enough, let's go."

With that, Shirou led Karna away from the warehouse district.

The Mien River Bridge was not far away. Shirou recalled the place where Caster set up the magic workshop in the story and decided to take the initiative to take down that guy first.

……

The moon hid behind the clouds, and a dark curtain enveloped the city.

Less than a kilometer from the Mienkawa Bridge, near the beach, Shirou found Caster's magic workshop.

"This is it."

For a magician, the workshop can be considered the culmination of their magic.

Caster, in particular, known as the hero of magic, also possesses a class-specific skill that amplifies his "territory creation" ability.
