 I have that promise with Tohsaka.
 It was a unilateral statement, but she must have something to talk about if she called for me.

• page1|

 I buy my lunch and go to the rooftop.
 It's usually packed with students, but not in this cold winter air.

• page2|

 Even though the winter in Fuyuki City is warm, the coldness at the rooftop is unbearable.
 The only ones on the rooftop are me and...
 "You're late! What are you so slow for?"
 ...Tohsaka, shivering under cover.

• page3|

 "I do feel bad for being late. Because of that, I brought you something, but you might not need it acting like that, huh?"
 I take the coffee I bought at the stand and put it in my pocket.

• page4|

 "Ugh... you have a naive face, but you're pretty thoughtful."
 "It's just a whim. Come over here.
  It's windy out here and people might see us."

• page5|

 I pass Tohsaka and hand her the coffee.
 Here, nobody should find us right away and we won't be seen from the windows on the fourth floor.

• page6|

 "Thanks. Get me some tea next time. I like milk teas. The value of the gratitude goes down if it's anything else, so be careful."
 "All right, if I remember next time. So what, why did you get me up here? Seeing how you chose a desolate place, I'm assuming it's about that sort of thing."

• page7|

 "O-Of course. What else do we have to talk about?"
 "Yeah, you're right. So, what's it about?"
 "...What? You're pretty cool about it."

• page8|

 "Huh? Well, it's cold so I want to get this over with quickly.
  Don't you feel the same?"
 "[line2]! Of course! I plan to finish this business quickly too!"

• page9|

 Yeah, I thought so.
 It's obvious, so she doesn't have to yell about it.

• page10|

 "[line3]Oh well.
  Then, I'll ask you directly. What are you going to do after school?"
 "After school? I don't have any plans. I'll help the student council if they need help. Otherwise, I'll just go to work."

• page11|

 "[line5]"
 "...What's with that utterly amazed expression? Tell me if you want to say something. I'll try to correct things."

• page12|

 "...Geez. I don't care what happens to you, but I guess I'll give you one warning. We're cooperating right now, and you're too inexperienced as a magus."
 "That again? I've heard that I'm an inexperienced magus too many times. I know, so don't tease me about it."

• page13|

 "I'm not teasing you. I'm just saying you're inexperienced because you don't seem to have noticed the boundary field around this school."
 "[line3]?"
 Boundary field around the school......?

• page14|

 "Hold on. A boundary field at school, could that be..."
 "It is a boundary field set up by another Master.
  It's arranged so widely that it will pretty much encircle the whole school.

• page15|

 "This boundary field is the type that steals blood and meat from the humans inside it. It's still in the preparation phase, but haven't you noticed everyone's kind of listless?"

• page16|

 "[line5]"
 Come to think of it... I felt a bit strange on Saturday, but was that it?
 Then that must mean[line3]

• page17|

 "So[line3]there's a Master at this school...?"
 "Right. There's certainly an enemy lurking here. Do you understand, Emiya-kun? If you're not prepared, you'll die."

• page18|

 "[line5]"
 My relaxed feelings go tense.
 "...So. Do you know who this Master is, Tohsaka?"

• page19|

 "No, I've got some ideas, but I don't have any proof yet. ...Well, I knew there was another magus in this school, but a magus doesn't necessarily equal a Master.
  There are cases when an amateur like you becomes a Master, so I can't be sure."

• page20|

 "Hey. I'm not an amateur, I'm a proper magus. ...Hey, hold on Tohsaka. There's another magus at our school...!?"

• page21|

 "That's right. But I can't feel any sign that the magus is a Master. I went to check first, but they didn't have a Command Spell nor the presence of a Servant.
  They might just be hiding it really well, but I'm pretty sure this person is not a Master."

• page22|

 "So I think the Master at this school is someone with an incomplete knowledge of magic like you.
  Recently, I've felt a little magical energy other than ours in this place. That's a sign of the enemy Master's presence, but..."
 But it's too small an amount to detect the source, huh?

• page23|

 "A Master that's not a magus, huh? If you say so, you must be confident of that.
  I believe you, but really... are there that many magi at our school?"

• page24|

 "So many? Just this person and I.
  A magus values their lineage, right? If two such lineages live in such a small area, they're bound to become intimate."

• page25|

 "Is that so? But I never knew about your family."

• page26|

 "Your household is special. I think your father was a lone wolf who alienated himself from the Association. He must have happened to like this city and decided to live in it, but this city is under our supervision.
  If we found out, we'd take what we could, so I guess he was hiding because he didn't want that."

• page27|

 "W[line3]What do you mean, take what you could?"

• page28|

 "Hmm, are you curious? I'll come and collect it when you mature, so look forward to it."
 "...Geez. You really were wearing a mask.
  Just how are you an honor student, you imposter?"

• page29|

 "Oh, is that so wrong? It's the responsibility of a magus to decorate the outward appearance, is it not?
  You see, I'm the successor of the Tohsaka family, so I have to be a perfect honor student or I won't be able to face my father in heaven."

• page30|

 "Huh? [line3]Father? Tohsaka, you mean..."
 "Yes, he died when I was young. Well, he lived a long time, so I'm not sad or anything."

• page31|

 "[line5]"
 Tohsaka smiles, as if saying that's how a child with a magus father should be.
 But that's...

• page32|

 "[line3]That's a lie. When people die, you're sad. All the more so if that person is a relative. It's not something you can gloss over by saying, he was a magus so it couldn't be helped."
 "............Well, yeah.
  You're completely right, so I can't argue."

• page33|

 Saying that, Tohsaka opens the can she's been using as a heat source.
 ...She takes small sips of the coffee.
 From what I know of her, I thought she would gulp it down, but she's really feminine when it comes to things like this.

• page34|

 "Let's get back to the topic.
  Anyways, there are only two magi in Fuyuki.
  Other Masters must have come from elsewhere, or been a weirdo that got selected because they know a bit of magic."

• page35|

 I see.
 According to Tohsaka, I'm weird too.

• page36|

 "I understand. But if it's a Master who barely knows magic, wouldn't it be impossible for him to create such a boundary field?"

• page37|

 "Maybe the Master didn't create it, but the Servant did.
  Servants can't choose their Master. If a Servant ends up with a Master like you, they'll only be able to win if they do a lot of planning."

• page38|

 "...Yeah. As annoying as it is, I can't argue with that."

• page39|

 "Good, you're honest.
  So, getting back to the boundary field... this boundary field is really advanced.
  It's almost at the level of sorcery. If a magus can create such a boundary field, it should be impossible for them to hide their magical energy. So I believe this must be the actions of a Servant."

• page40|

 "...The actions of a Servant, huh? Then is the Master not that dangerous?"

• page41|

 "Of course not. Magus or not, he's a strange one who doesn't know the rules. He's the type that will come and kill you if he finds out you're a Master."

• page42|

 "Huh? Not know the rules? You mean, the rules of the Holy Grail War?"
 "No. The rules of humanity. The moment they make their Servant create a boundary field like this, they've lost track of who they are.

• page43|

 "Look, Shirou. Once this boundary field is finished and activated, it will melt every human in it and absorb them.
  It's like we're in the stomach of something alive.
  ...Well, it shouldn't have any effect on people like us who protect ourselves with magical energy, but those without magical energy will weaken and die without knowing why.

• page44|

 "It's not just a matter of dragging ordinary people into this mess.
  Once this boundary field is activated, everyone in this school will die. Do you understand? A Master at this school is absurd enough to prepare something like this."

• page45|

 "[line5]"
 My vision blurs for a bit.
 Trying to comprehend what Tohsaka is saying, I take a deep breath.

• page46|

 [line3]That's it.
 Even though my understanding is incomplete, I imagine the worst possibility and engrave that image inside me, accepting the situation I am in.

• page47|

 "I get it.
  [line3]So, Tohsaka. Can you destroy this boundary field?"

• page48|

 "I tried, but it was useless. I found all the sources of the boundary field, but I can't destroy it. All I can do is to weaken the source temporarily and delay the activation."

• page49|

 "Hm... so the boundary field won't be activated as long as you're here?"

• page50|

 "...That'd be nice, but that's only optimism. The boundary field is already set up and the magical energy for activation is gathering bit by bit. According to Archer, it should be ready in about eight days."

• page51|

 "When that happens, this school will fall into hell as soon as the Master or the Servant puts their mind to it."
 "[line3]Then before that happens..."

• page52|

 "We have to defeat the Master lurking at this school.
  But finding the Master will be difficult. The guy pretty much won as soon as he set up the boundary field. The boundary field will be activated even if he does nothing, so he won't appear until then. So if there is a chance..."

• page53|

 "...It'll only be when he emerges?"
 "Exactly. So you should stay quiet for now. You will have to fight when the time comes, so it's just stupid for you to go out searching and have the enemy find you before that."

• page54|

 The first bell echoes through the cold rooftop.
 Lunch break is over.

• page55|

 "That's it. I have to go somewhere, so go home by yourself. Try not to go anywhere on your way home."
 Tohsaka leaves, saying "see ya".

• page56|

 "[line5]"
 There's no way I am feeling good.
 There's no way I can have a calm mind, after finding out that the talk of Masters only attacking other Masters was pointless.

• page57|

 "A boundary field at school[line3]?"
 Is he planning to drag innocent people into this?
 That's not the work of a Master at all, but a mass-murderer.
 I have to find him before the boundary field is activated, find him and[line2]defeat him completely.

• page58|

 '[line3]Rejoice, Emiya Shirou. Your wish-'
 "[line3]!"
 I shake my head and deny the words I remember.
 I can't wish for something like that.
 A wish for a villain to defeat, that's not my wish[line3]

• page59|

 The end of school homeroom ends, and students start to disappear from the classroom.
 I would normally go to the student council room, but since Tohsaka told me to go straight home, I should do so.
