Sorry, was playing games and doing school stuff.

Maybe my depiction of Taiga is a bit wrong, but sorry, that's how she will be in this story.

Trollish and heartwarming events I guess.

Chapter 18 – Fragile Promises/Approaching Storm

Shirou ran up the stairs. As he was finally within range, he leapt straight at Illya—

"Wah—" Only for her to swerve to the right and dodge him.

"Buh—" He ate the carpet as he landed. "Illya… why?" He asked in confusion.

"Shirou, I am wearing the Dress of Heaven, coming into contact with me is dangerous you know." Illya stated in a lecturing tone. "Didn't you always use Structural Grasping on stuff to see what they could do? Why didn't you at least try to check if I'm real or if there was something dangerous?"

She imparted her wisdom as a Magus.

Following her instructions, Shirou stood up and activated his circuits to cast the spell. His eyes scanned Illya's clothes with [Structural Grasping].

The Mystic Code of the Einzbern family, the Dress of Heaven, capable of materializing the soul for several seconds. Any human who touches it will turn into gold.

"Oh, so this is what you used to save me." He deduced. "Materialization of the soul and turning people into gold on contact…"

"That's right." She nodded. "I transferred your soul to a portion of my body. It was a cheap container, but Rin and Sakura should've managed to find you a proper body, right?"

He recollects the story of how the two of them got a body to put his soul in. They travelled a lot and gathered information about puppet makers. Deals that went wrong, insufficient money, getting snubbed for being a far eastern mage, scams, and the list went on.

Ultimately, they found just the right person, Aozaki Touko was her name if he remembered correctly. It took a large sum, Sakura sold the Matou family research and barely made the money needed to obtain a puppet body for him.

There were a few problems with the new body since it was used goods, but according to them, it was better than the other puppets that they saw.

"Yeah, they really went all out." He confirmed. "The flow of Magical Energy was a bit sluggish, but we solved it with a lot of training. Though I don't think that I will have the same problem now." After all, he was using his own body, or at least, another Emiya Shirou's body.

"That's good. I knew that they would get the job done, they love you very much after all." She teased.

"Yeah, they really do…"

Now he felt awkward. Illya couldn't possibly have known that even at his advanced age, girls were still chasing after him. Not to mention the single mothers Rin and Luvia.

Their husbands were good people, but they couldn't keep up with the two geniuses and both died in one of their missions. It didn't help that their kids liked him, both Rin and Luvia have affections for him, he felt attracted to them, and Sakura was fine with it.

If he didn't get sent to this world, he would've probably had a harem or something. He remembered Sakura's words when he asked why she was fine with it. Her answer?

"After our relationship with Rider turned out like how it is now, I realized that this kind of relationship wasn't that bad. We get along well, and we don't try to get in each other's way. It's the same for nee-san and Luvia-san."

He didn't think it will work out at all, while Sakura gets along well with both Rin and Luvia, those two were like mortal enemies. Wait, now that he thought about it, the two of them are—

"Shirou, are you ignoring me?" He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Sorry. What were you asking about again?" He apologetically replied.

"I asked where Sakura is. I wanna see my sister-in-law." She replied enthusiastically.

"Sakura is currently incapacitated." He answered. "It looks like she's still adjusting to her new body."

"I see." She gave a sad smile. "Shirou, you've changed."

He tilted his head in confusion. "What makes you say that?"

"You're more mature now, calmer, less prone to embarrassment. Though your core personality hasn't changed from the last time we met. You're still the same Shirou that sacrificed himself for the ones you love."

She recalls events that happened in the past, visiting Shirou's house, convincing him to deviate from Kiritsugu's ideals, being protected by Shirou causing him to lose his arm, staying at his home with the other girls, getting rescued again, and finally, their farewell.

"I… I'm so glad that… I have a chance to have a happy life…" She sobbed.

Shirou looked like he wanted to comfort her, but he is visibly restraining himself, remembering the Mystic Code she is wearing.

"Oh, right." Wiping away her tears, Illya flashes him a bright smile. "I'm just going to change my clothes; you can peek if you want~" She added mischievously.

Shirou sighs fondly as he follows after Illya.

'Wait, does this castle even have clothes for her?'

Taiga laid flat down on the ground, gasping for air. Looking at her side, she sees her sensei looking just fine, talking with someone over his walkie-talkie.

"Good, report to me if anything happens." He puts the walkie-talkie back in his coat and approaches her.

"Did Maiya-san see anything?" She asked while raising her body.

"There haven't been any movements on the enemy's side." He answered. "As for our sparring…"

She waited with bated breath at her results.

"Frankly, you did fine for a complete amateur. Wasteful expenditure of Magical Energy is your biggest problem. Lack of experience in actual combat is a close second. You let me dictate the pace of our fight." He assessed.

Taiga kept chasing after Kiritsugu relentlessly, heedless of her energy consumption. She wanted to end the fight quickly too, resulting in her using up even more, wasting it all as her attacks were evaded or rendered useless while Kiritsugu took potshots at her.

Not only that, but she also had to deal with the traps that he planted while he was hiding his presence. If it wasn't for her improved senses, she would've already been taken down a long time ago.

"That's because you won't fight me." She pouted. She found it unfair that he had guns while she only had a sword. Granted, it is a superweapon that is probably stronger than a nuke, but it is still unfair!

"If I did that, I would be a failure of a combatant." He countered. "In order to win, one must exploit the enemy's weaknesses and make use of one's abilities. In my case, I used my superior speed to keep you at a distance and made you waste your energy. You use Strike Air way too often. While your use is creative and effective, that kind of extensive use will cost you, just like what happened a while ago."

Taiga flushed in embarrassment, she was charging straight at her sensei with a Strike Air propelled jump, chasing him through the trees. Unfortunately, she felt her body turn into jelly in the middle of the jump as she ran out of juice. Feeling the same powerlessness when she fought the beasts made her panic and blank out.

As she was falling, sensei rescued her by catching her in the air and dropping her down to the ground.

"Are you alright?"

'T-too close!'

Getting princess carried, having a close-up of her crush's face, and running out of Magical Energy was too much for young Taiga. She fainted right there and then, only waking up when Kiritsugu was finishing up his call with Maiya.

'Ah… so dreamy.' She started fantasizing, Maiya-san as the informant and the two of them as crime fighters! With their power, they can take down even the greatest crime syndicates!

She was taken out of her daydreams by a snap of a finger.

"Are you listening?" Asked her sensei.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" She bowed.

"You have a lot of potential. If you learn to use your abilities properly, you will definitely end up stronger than me." She looked at him, starry-eyed at his words. "After all, your maximum capacity seems to be multiple times greater than my own, it's only your wasteful way of using it that holds you back."

Her mannerisms greatly reminded Kiritsugu of Shirley which led to him unconsciously being more lenient on her.

She considers his words. "Sensei, how much Energy do you still have right now?" A benchmark would be good.

"I still have over 60% of my maximum capacity."

"EEEEHHHHH?!" He just said that while she used her entire capacity, which is multiple times greater than his, he only used around 40% of it.

She gazed at him with admiration. Ever since she was able to transform, she developed a sixth sense for combat and people.

Somehow, during battle, she was able to react to attacks that should've been from her blind spots, her swordsmanship took a massive leap too, instinctively knowing the best way to attack, defend, dodge, and all that stuff. She still couldn't land a clean hit on her sensei though…

As for people… she somehow knows what other people feel. Her rival, Maiya-san, has a deep affection for her sensei. So much that it somewhat discouraged her from trying to act on her own feelings. Though in the end, she decided that as long as they aren't together yet, she'll have a go at it. She thought that it was pretty tragic that Kiritsugu-san doesn't have that much love for Maiya-san… [1]

As for herself, she was at quite the disadvantage, Kiritsugu-san isn't taking her seriously as she is right now, their age gap was probably too big. She just hopes that he won't be snagged by the time he takes her seriously.

She could also tell if people are lying. She came across a salesman selling his products on the street, while focusing on him, she was able to tell which of his statements were lies and truths.

With this ability, she knew that her sensei wasn't lying about his status.

'I… still have a long way to go huh…' With a determined look, she pumps herself up.

"Yosh! Sensei, let's continue our training!" At that moment, her stomach rumbled.

"…We should probably eat lunch for now." He declared. "Besides, my Magical Energy hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Eh? Really?" She was able to tell that her own reserves were currently at 20%. She wasn't able to use this during battle though… another thing that she should learn how to do! "How long does it usually take to recover your Magical Energy?"

"If I completely spent my Magical Energy, I would say give or take a week." He answered. [2]

"Really? But my reserves are already around 20% right now. Why is our recovery rate so different?" She questioned.

"That's because you don't have Magic Circuits like most Magi do, but instead, you have a Magic Core." He explained. "In terms of productions, if you consider Magic Circuits as simple machines, a Magic Core is a factory. Not only that, but you also have one of the strongest Magic Cores possible, that of a dragon. It is natural that your Magical Energy will recover quickly."

His words reinforced Taiga's perception that the events are a dark anime style story. 'That means that…' Someone will die. She may even be forced to kill someone to protect others. Her position is close to being a protagonist, the new girl introduced to a magical world and discovering that she has unique and powerful abilities. Kiritsugu-san is a mentor character and Maiya-san is a femme fatale love interest.

In these kinds of stories, they are at great risk. Mentor characters die most of the time for the hero's character development and considering how much Maiya-san seems to love him, she might follow after or die on the mission.

She… didn't want it to be true. She wanted to deny that the events were leading to scenarios like that, but the signs were all there. Everything was going according to her expectations, and she didn't like it one bit.

"Kiritsugu-san… can you tell me what we are fighting?" This question is twofold, she wanted to know what kind of enemy they were going to face and the 'plotline'.

"…I will tell you after we get back on the base."

Their light jog ended as they see the motorcycle near the road.

Kiritsugu handed over the helmet to Taiga.

"Eh? Where's the car?" While she is confused, she was still able to get the helmet on without any problems.

"Maiya needs it more than I do." He put on his own helmet and got on the motorcycle. "The car can hold most of the equipment that we brought for our mission. Since I am no longer carrying physical arms, I can now move more freely, and a motorcycle is more maneuverable when it comes to tight spaces."

'That does make a lot of sense…'

Taiga stopped moving, she just realized that she was going on a motorcycle ride with her ideal man.

"What's holding you?"

Their eyes met. 'Kyaaaaaaaa!' She squealed internally.

"I-I'll be right there!" She got on the back seat.

Tentatively, she reached out and wrapped her arms around her crush's waist.

Kiritsugu, feeling the arms wrap around him, started throttling the motorcycle.

Taiga felt elated as she leaned on his back. Her 'One of the things she wanted to do with the persons she likes' checklist just got a single wish in it fulfilled.

It turns out that making clothes smaller was an easy task for a Magus of Illya's caliber. Surprisingly, it looked a lot like her previous clothes, only with a dark reddish color on top, a shorter skirt, and long stockings and socks.

She asked on and on about how his life turned out, and he responded to each and every one of her questions.

"So Shirou, how does it feel to have a harem?" She mischievously asked. "Though considering your stories about Sakura and Rider, I guess that it's a no brainer. You even had two widows and young girls under your charms."

"I felt like my hips were going to break. Those two were just insatiable. If I didn't take medicine that enhanced my vitality, I would've already been sucked dry." If it was just one, he would've been fine, but the Master and Servant pair combined was just too much. "And I'm not a womanizer."

"Fufufu, allow me to announce my candidacy for onii-chan's harem."

Shirou looked at her adopted sister's face. While it is certainly mischievous, he could tell that she was absolutely serious.

"…Why, Illya?" He didn't discourage her. If this was a normal situation, he would've already rejected her, but she is older than him, and by the time they grew up, they would probably be the same physical age too.

"Because I want to be happy." She states her simple desire. "It's all your fault you know. You've spoilt me for other men. I can't possibly find another man who will love me like you do Shirou."

"…I'm a bit surprised that you didn't want to monopolize or turn me into your property though."

"I think that you are forgetting that I am a delicate girl, onii-chan. If you took out your beastly desires with me as the sole recipient, I would die." She states as a matter of fact as Shirou choked on air. "I mean, you are able to keep up with Servants! I don't have that kind of stamina. Mama also had problems since her stamina was so weak that she couldn't satisfy Kiritsugu."

"Just what is your mother telling you?!" He retorted.

"Mama, it's boring here, tell me another story."

"Is that so? Well, you're a big girl now, so let me tell you about how Kiritsugu and I do things."

"?"

"While waiting for him, I slowly clean my body, removing all impurities—"

"Wait… is this…"

"Sometimes though, he goes inside the bath together with me, and—"

"STOOOOOOOOPPPP!" And so, Illya received the wisdom of her mother.

"Still, I have to ask Sakura first—"

"Don't worry about that." Illya interrupted in a confident tone. "Considering that she didn't reject Rin and that other girl, she is most likely open to it. I just have to pass some kind of test to get her approval."

Shirou groaned, it seems that it was useless to dissuade her. Still…

"Shirou?" He approached Illya. Once she was within his reach, he used as much of his small body to give her a heartfelt hug. "Ah… you're like a hot water bottle…" [3]

They stay like that for a while, confirming each other's existence.

"Okaeri, Illya." Shirou welcomed his beloved family member back.

'Oh, this is a Japanese custom, right? My answer should be…'

"Tadaima, Shirou." Illya hugged him tighter.

Their cries echoed in the room, for they couldn't contain their overflowing happiness.

Their only witness was a stoic guardian.

"An… evil god?" Taiga asked after eating her fill. She was sitting on the bed where there were no weapons scattered around it.

"Yes, his name is Angra Mainyu, the Zoroastrian god of evil." He ejected the shell in the gun and replaced it. 'Half a second without enhancement eh…'

"Then those beasts are…"

"Yes, those are his familiars, attacking others by his will." He returned his Mystic Code back in its case. "According to our ally, he also has three powerful guardians, all having a near infinite source of Magical Energy."

He started playing the video recording.

Taiga saw death and devastation. The people who fought the dark armored woman were vaporized by her blade, and the ones who ran away were blown away by a red spear thrown by a blue-haired man.

As the survivors seem to have successfully ran away, they were drowned by the mud spawned by a pale-skinned woman with white hair.

Somehow, she was able to stomach it and resist throwing up.

"Servant Class Saber, Artoria Pendragon, she disguised herself as a man to rule her country of Britain. Wielding the Holy Sword, or in this case, Demonic Sword, Excalibur, great Magical Resistance, sharp instincts, and incredible strength and skill. She is without a doubt, the greatest obstacle in completing the mission." He introduced.

"W-wait, then my powers are—"

"Yes, somehow, you were able to obtain her powers for yourself. I myself don't know how you did it, but it happened." He removed the disk and returned it to its container.

It added another plus to her theory, putting down a person who is controlled by an evil god. That person must've transferred her power and she was the one who ended up receiving it.

"The blue-haired man's name is Servant Class Lancer, Cu Chulainn, the Child of Light. Wielding the spear, Gae Bolg, the spear that reverses causality. It is also capable of homing on enemies when used as a throwing weapon. His skillset makes him difficult to kill, mastery of Runes, Battle Continuation, Protection from Arrows, Disengage… while Saber is the greatest obstacle, Lancer is the most troublesome to deal with."

"Errr, I don't understand?" She tilted her head, unable to understand why her sensei would say that.

"Oh right, you don't understand most of the terminologies I used." Cupping his chin, he thought about how to go about explaining his analysis to Taiga. "Lancer, as I just said, is difficult to kill. Most long-range attacks like my sniper are useless due to Protection from Arrows. The same goes for magical attacks, we don't have a sufficiently strong Magus to break through his Magical Resistance, and even if we did, his Runes would protect him. Even if we deliver a fatal blow, he would heal within minutes and still be able to fight because of Battle Continuation, and if he isn't in fighting condition, he would simply use Disengage. He can only be defeated by a decisive instantaneously lethal strike such as beheading or destroying his spiritual core."

'That's one tough guy…' Rather than a hero, Taiga thought that he had more in common with a cockroach.

"That's not even mentioning his combat capabilities… but let's move on to the last guardian, Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern. She is the weak link in this operation. If we defeat her, the other two Servants will lose strength and slow down the resurrection of Angra Mainyu."

Well, that didn't sound too difficult—

"But the other two, Lancer and Saber need to be taken care of before she can be reached. Even then, she still has nigh infinite Magical Energy. She won't be easy to take down. I would absolutely lose to either Servant and I can't guarantee a win against Justeaze herself either."

'This situation is hopeless!' Their main problem was power. Considering that Kiritsugu-san was stronger than her, then she won't even be able to buy time. The three of them can't possibly beat them!

"Kiritsugu-san, don't you have any allies?! If it's only the three of us, it's impossible!" She protested.

"We're not alone. Assassin is keeping an eye on the enemy base, and Archer is recruiting other Servants for the attack like Berserker who he successfully convinced." He assured. "We agreed to meet tomorrow for planning and execute the attack a day after."

'Oh, thank goodness there's a plan!' She visibly relaxed. "How come you never told me? I thought that everyone else has been wiped out…"

"…Because even if we all band together, it's not certain that we will win. I was also unsure whether I should tell you back then. I didn't have a good read of your personality."

"Oh…" Come to think of it, they've only known each other for a day. That he was trusting her just goes to show how desperate he is for allies.

"Taiga, this is your final chance to back out." He stated with utmost seriousness. "All you have to do is avoid mentioning the Moonlit World and train. You can still live a peaceful life—"

"I refuse." She interrupted. "I'm… happy that you're concerned for me, but I don't want to back down. Fuyuki is my home, it's where my family is, it's where my friends are, it's the place I love the most in the world. I want to protect it with my own two hands, and I have no illusion that Fuyuki will be left alone when the evil god resurrects. I want to help so that the chances of everything I love surviving goes up, even if it's just a little."

She was scared, death is a very possible consequence of this mission, but she was more scared of losing everything she loved. If she needed to sacrifice herself for her ojii-chan and everyone else—

A hand landed on top of her head and started ruffling her.

"Eh? K-Kiritsugu-san?" She stammered.

"I'm sorry." He suddenly apologized. "I didn't take you seriously at all. Also, you don't need to put an act. Children shouldn't bottle up their feelings."

"Ah…" She realized that she was shaking out of fear. 'Kiritsugu-san saw that comforted me huh…'

Kiritsugu patiently waited for her reply.

"…If it's just a little…"

Taiga then proceeded to tell Kiritsugu about her grievances with the events currently happening in Fuyuki.

"How long will it take until she's fine?" Kariya inquired.

"I do not know." Kirei responded honestly. "This is the first time I have encountered a scenario like this. Most people who have their souls separated from their bodies die. The fact that she was able to return at all is astounding."

"…How long do you think it will be?" While he was glad that she is safe, he would like something concrete to check her health.

"She will most likely fade in and out of consciousness as her body is adjusting to her soul, staying awake longer as time goes on." He explained. "I still need to observe her in order to estimate how long her recovery will take."

"I see, thank you for your time." Kariya left the church, wondering what he should do now.

Money was no longer a problem, he inherited all of Zouken's assets, turning him into a millionaire. Maybe he should go see what Rin cooked up. 'She's a Magus, even if she's just a trainee. She might have something that might help Sakura.'

With his destination set, he starts walking to Shinto. After all, going to someone's house unannounced without at least a gift is pretty rude.

"Take this Shirou." Illya gave him a bottle of wine.

"…Illya, I'm currently underaged you know." Shirou reminded her.

"No silly, I'm telling you to sell it." She corrected. "You don't have any money now, right? I don't know how much that will sell for, but at least you'll have some when you get back, oh, and get me some souvenirs too! Otto and Bonifacius aren't here anymore, I need more stuffed animals."

"Can't you just give me actual money?" That would be a lot easier to use since he doubts that people will buy wine from some random kid.

"There isn't any here." She answered truthfully.

"…" Well, he got out of worse situations than this, selling wine shouldn't be a big deal… right? "I'll see what I can do."

Turning back, he started his journey back to Sakura's side.

"Shirou!" Illya called out. "After all of this is over, let's go out together to do that moon viewing thing! You went with the cherry blossom viewing with Sakura, so I want to do something with you too!"

"…Yeah! I promise!"

Once more, Shirou takes in someone's wish.

'Once Illya gets a proper body, we'll go view the full moon together—'

He swore to fulfill it no matter what, just as he did all those years ago.

"Ah, Kariya-oji-san! What brings you here?" Since Sakura was fine now, Rin has returned to her cheerful self.

"Oh, Rin-chan, just the girl I was looking for." Kariya waved from the gate.

"Eh? What for?" She tilted her head quizzically.

"Well… can you let me in first? I don't think that it will take that long." He requested.

"Alright! Just let me adjust the bounded field… um, it should be this, and that…"

Kariya waited patiently as Rin poked around the bounded field. Not realizing that he would be there for quite some time…

Taiga felt a bit awkward after letting out her pent-up feelings to Kiritsugu.

The fear of death, the uncertainty of the future, her concern for the people she loves, her own insecurity regarding her ability to help…

And in her rampage, she emphasized her words with things like screaming, bawling, pounding her fists against Kiritsugu-san, and other stuff.

It really helped though. As her sensei removed the hand that was soothing her by rubbing her back, he stood up from the bed they were sitting on and made his way to the door.

"Taiga, come." Kiritsugu-san gestured. "We'll be defending the city tonight. Get as much experience in combat as much as possible during that time. In either the next morning or afternoon, Archer will call us for a meeting along with everyone that he can gather."

Taiga gathered her wits, smacking her palms on both cheeks, she stood up and followed after her sensei.

"Taiga." He started. "I cannot guarantee our success nor our survival, but I can promise you this: I will do my all to prevent anyone from dying."

"I know…" She strengthened her resolve. "I'll do everything to make sure everyone gets out in one piece!"

The two who knew each other only for a day forged a strong sense of camaraderie as they left the room. [4]

"T-that bottle is…?!" Turning around, Shirou saw a man looking baffled as he looked at the wine he is carrying.

"Oji-san, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Kid, what are you going to do with that wine?" He asked.

"I'm going sell it—"

"Sell it to me!" He searched his pockets, only to discover that he didn't have enough funds. "Dammit! Stay right there kid, I'll be right back!"

'At least there's a buyer already…'

Waiting a few minutes, the man who offered to buy arrived and presented him with quite the sum.

"Are you sure?" He verified. He didn't know whether he was tricked or not, but at least he had the money.

"Yeah, a little extra pay won't hurt me that much. Foreign wine of this quality is pretty hard to come by. While it's not a top contender or anything like that, German wine is pretty hard to get nowadays. You really saved me the trouble kid, if you have any more wine to sell, just give me a call." Leaving behind a business card.

With funds in his hands, it was time to go shop for ingredients, he needed to eat after all. As for appliances… well, nobody said that his Projection was limited to swords.

Still… that old man looked kind of familiar… he'll look at the business card later.

"I'm really sorry!" Rin apologized.

"Don't worry about it. You're still a rookie at this right? There's no need to be ashamed at taking thirty minutes to allow me in." Kariya consoled.

She slumped even further at his words. Seeing that she needed another push, he presents his offering.

"Rin-chan, cheer up." He handed over a plastic bag containing his gift. "Here, it's dorayaki from Edomaeya."

With a cheerful thank you, Rin took the bag.

"Okaa-san! Kariya-oji-san brought some snacks!" She called out energetically.

With that, the three of them made small talk, asking about Sakura's condition, the state of Fuyuki, sharing stories, until—

"Kariya-oji-san." Rin quietly beckoned.

Curious, Kariya followed after her, going into some kind of underground room. Rin impatiently waved her hand around, telling him to hurry.

"What did you need me for, Rin-chan?" He scratched his head, wondering what she could possibly need from him. "I'm not exactly a good teacher for Magic—"

"It's Magecraft!" She shouted. "And no, it's not about that, I just need a favor…"

Kariya hopes that it won't involve things like experimentation and stuff…

Shirou was camping out near the woods, cooking with his state-of-the-art battery-powered stove. His hands moved deftly if a bit slow. The years were really generous to technological advancement.

Somehow, he was able to get the ingredients for the dish he was planning and most of the people were more interested in making profits than asking why a kid was buying groceries.

"Probably because of the disasters happening right now…" He muttered.

They probably assumed that his parents were dead or in bad condition, considering what was happening in Fuyuki right now, forcing him to go on a grocery run.

Shirou took a good look at what he was cooking 'Color, smell… looks good.'

This will definitely keep him awake until the time for battle. Now he just has to find a good vantage point and—

"What are you doing here child?" The voice was quite familiar…

Turning around, Shirou comes face to face with Kotomine Kirei.

[1] Yeah, quote from Zero mats:

"Maiya, who lacks a sense of self, considers that her entire being belongs to Kiritsugu Emiya. Asking whether she loves Kiritsugu is like asking whether the innards love the brain. The question itself is meaningless."

That some Sakura level devotion right there.

[2] Heaven's Feel, when you get dumped in the Church to heal. Kotomine states that it would normally take Rin seven days to recover, not full capacity, but recover from being drained or maybe I'm wrong. Since Kiritsugu has a comparatively smaller capacity, I just made it so that his recovery will be faster. He is still the heir to the Emiya line after all.

[3] F/HA Scene where you sleep with Illya (not that way you pervs).

[4] You might be wondering why they got so close so fast, my answer is Taiga's desire to get close to her crush, unknowingly using her luck, and the hidden charisma that the card provided her. Which of course, is pretty much stretching it.

AN:

First cliffhanger?

Taiga theorizes, incorrect assumptions occurred. Also, when is her birthday?

Can someone give me an accurate map of Fuyuki complete with the names of each location? And a location name to go with every scene featured in the Fate VN series? Thanks if anyone sends stuff. If nobody sends anything, well, I can't be blamed if I get it wrong.
