Is there is anything you want to talk about? If not we can end the conversation here as I am a little busy right now.

So straight forward.

By any chance are you mad at me?😅😅

Beep,Beep
Shoko phone's beep again.
For a while now Emiya is trying to initiate a conversation with her but is failing miserably at doing it.
Although she is also making it a little hard for him to continue.
But it's not my fault.
Hmph.
It's pretty obvious I was mad.
Beep,Beep.
By any chance are you mad at me?
By any chance??
Is he for real?
She took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Idiot.
Aright. Now you see.
No, why did you ask.
.
.
Well it seems to me that maybe you are.
Calm down
Shoko
Calm down
She took a deep breath again.
Why would be I mad? Did you do anything?

......was I imaging it?
Maybe this is how she really is.
.... and is not mad at me.
Naah, I was asking just in case. It seems I misunderstood.

It's alright 👍

So what do you think about yesterday mission? Man! We barely win by hair breadth.

"EMIYA HYODO"
He's deliberately teasing me, isn't he?
This bastard…
Is he really an idiot, or is he just pretending to be one?
Calm down, Shoko… calm down.
Grinding her teeth slightly, Shoko Ieiri took a deep breath to calm herself down.
If I talk to him any longer, I'm going to die from anger.
I am little busy right now.
Ttyl.

It seems like she is busy.

Phew.
"It's really difficult to talk to a girl."
It seems I was worried for anything .
I think too much. I should be more like Satoru
...just act instead of overthinking.
"Good… at least she isn't mad. Otherwise, things would've been really awkward between us."
I checked the time on my phone.
It was already evening.
Hmm…
Since I had already decided to start training, maybe I should at least check out the gym today.
No point delaying it.
If Suguru is going to start teaching me next week, I should at least prepare a little beforehand.
Alright.
I quickly got dressed.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
A simple black T-shirt with peaky blinders picture on the back and a pair of black shorts.
It is comfortable, easy to move in, and perfect for training.
Just in case I ended up starting today. 💪
I left the school grounds and started roaming around the city, looking for a martial arts gym.
But the roads here were confusing.
There were so many intersections and side streets that everything started looking the same after a while.
Man…
It was way easier back in my homeworld town.
Yes I am from the countryside. 😑
There were only a few roads there.
You could walk around the whole place without ever getting lost.
What was this place called again…?
Right.
Shibuya.
A passerby had mentioned it earlier when I asked for directions.
As I walked through the busy pedestrian street, surrounded by crowds and neon lights—
I suddenly felt it.
A faint trace of cursed energy.
My steps slowed as I traced the source to a nearby alley.
I glanced toward it.
Should I check…?
I hesitated for a moment.
I probably should.
If that was a curse, someone might be in danger
I stepped into the alley and began following the cursed energy signature.
The deeper I went, the stronger it became.
Yeah… this is definitely a curse.
Judging by the density of the energy, it was probably around Grade two.
As I turned the corner—
I froze.
A fat humanoid curse stood there.
Its body was bloated and uneven, its skin sagging like melting wax. The face was twisted into something vaguely human… but wrong in every possible way.
It honestly looked like one of those ugly bastard characters you'd see in a Hentai.
…Yeah.
Not a pleasant sight.
Behind it—
Someone was standing there.
A girl?
I couldn't see her clearly since the curse was blocking most of my view, but I could make out a yellow sweater and a green skirt.
She was pressed against the wall, clearly in danger.
Deploy… Barbarians.
I summoned them immediately.
Five barbarians appeared around the curse in flashes.
One charged first, swinging his sword.
The curse reacted quickly, grabbing the barbarian's face and lifting him off the ground before the blade could land.
But that opening was enough.
Two other barbarians rushed in from the sides.
Their swords slashed into the curse's legs.
The heavy blows knocked it off balance, forcing it to release the barbarian it was holding.
At that moment two other barbarian plunged their swords straight into the curse's bloated torso.
The creature staggered and dropped to its knees.
The barbarian which has just been released from the curse grip stepped forward without hesitation.
His blade flashed.
The sword cut cleanly through the curse's neck.
It's head rolling on the ground.
Then the entire body dissolved into ash.
The alley went quiet as I dismissed the barbarians.
As the last of them disappeared, I finally got a clear look at the girl.
She had jet-black hair, striking yellow eyes, and wore a yellow sweater with a green skirt that looked like a school uniform.
Her face was frozen in shock, fear, and disbelief.
Which meant one thing.
She had seen everything—the fight, the curse, and the summons—which should have been impossible, because normal people couldn't see curses.
My eyes narrowed slightly.
I looked at her more carefully.
Something about her felt… familiar.
Don't tell me…
Mieruko-chan?
