What brought Shinji here
Of course it is Qingfeng named "Sister".
"I came to accompany Sakura. I went to England a while ago and stayed there for a few months. Sakura was very unhappy. In order to prevent a rift between siblings, I had to behave better."
"Ah, ah, the relationship between the brother and sister is so good, I, an only child, am very envious."
Ayako Mizutsugi laughed heartily and turned her gaze towards the archery range.
"Yakura is in very good shape. It may not be long before I, the commander-in-chief, have to give up my position."
"That's hard to say. I heard that you joined the Kyudo Club instead of other sports clubs because it was the only skill you didn't know, so you came here to learn. However, soon after joining the club, you stood out, and your rank rose all the way, and finally became the main player of the Kyudo Club. Sakura is doing what you did before."
"Are you praising me? Or your sister?"
"It's probably both." Shinji admitted frankly that the best way to talk to someone like Mizuzu Ayako is to be direct, "but if you're absent every day like today, that's not necessarily the case."
Meizhu shook her hair and said confidently, "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm different from you. I've never been late, left early, or absent. I didn't attend the training today because I had to negotiate about the club's funding."
"Club funds? And the student union?"
This is another difference between China and Japan. The student unions in China do not have much real power and are more symbolic than practical. This is different in Japan, where the student unions have great power and can even interfere with school decisions to a certain extent. Managing the funds for club activities is only part of their function.
"That's right. That damn student council president actually wants to cut our archery club's funding. That's too much." Meizhui complained repeatedly, looking very dissatisfied. "I decided to use all the means I can to bombard the student council president from all sides and stop his conspiracy."
"What's the result?" Shinji asked with a smile, as if he had already guessed the result.
"not good."
Meizhui's answer did not exceed her expectations. The exaggerated words "everything", "all-round", and "conspiracy" actually exposed her lack of confidence.
"That guy is unexpectedly stubborn. He doesn't even listen to what Mr. Fujimura says. I guess he's still arguing right now."
Speak of the devil, and here he appears. As soon as I finished speaking, a powerful roar was heard from the entrance of the Kyudo Hall, as if a tiger was roaring, yes, a tigress.
"Ryudo-san, don't you even listen to your teacher?"
This was followed by a calm male voice, answering in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Whether to listen or not depends on whether it makes sense. Mr. Fujimura, you only state the request without giving any reason, which makes me feel awkward. The number of clubs in the school has been increasing in recent years, and most of them have achieved certain results. As the student council president, I must consider all aspects, not just the Kyudo Club. Mr. Fujimura, you guide more than just the Kyudo Club, and you should also think about other clubs."
"Well, that makes sense, but cutting the budget for the Kyudo Club is absolutely not an option."
"Ha~" Anyone can hear the helplessness in the man's voice - it's simply impossible to communicate.
"Hoo-ha-ha, hoo-ha-ha, come and say something, Mizue-san. This is the top priority of the Archery Club."
The door of the gym was opened, and the man and woman who were talking came into the sight of Shinji and Mizue.
The woman is an old acquaintance of Shinji's for ten years. She looks and acts like a tigress. However, it is not the extended meaning of the word "Hedong Lion". It is just the literal meaning - a woman who is carefree and full of vigor. In addition, her hair color and clothes are mainly yellow, which easily reminds people of a tiger.
More importantly, the pronunciation of the woman's name was very similar to the English word "tiger", so the name "Fuyuki Tiger" spread like wildfire.
That's right, this person is Fujimura Taiga, who has been pestering Kiritsugu since ten years ago and is now almost half the mistress of the Emiya family. She is currently an English teacher at Hogunhara Junior High School and also the instructor of the archery club.
The man is about the same age as Shinji and is also an acquaintance, although they have known each other for a shorter time than Fujimura Taiga.
The straight face and the glasses on the bridge of his nose give people a meticulous impression. Although he is thin, you can vaguely see the tight lines under his clothes, his lower body is strong, and his breathing is long. Like Ayako Mizumi and Taiga Fujimura, he is also a martial artist.
His name is Yanagi Kazunari, the son of the abbot of Yanagi-ji Temple. Because the altar where the Holy Grail is placed is not far from Yanagi-ji Temple, Shinji has been going there a lot in recent years, donating things from time to time as offerings, and has become familiar with the monks of Yanagi-ji Temple. He is the current student council president of Hogunhara Junior High School, and is more popular among students than Mizue.
Seeing Shinji sitting in the gym, they were both stunned.
"Shinji, why are you here?"
"Matou, are you coming to school?"
"Hey, good morning. Long time no see, Tig—no, Fujimura-sensei and Issei."
Shinji was greeting her while complaining in his mind, and his style of complaining was exactly the same as that of Ayako Mizutsugi.
What kind of wind was blowing today? The "Four Guardians of Fuyuki" are all here
That's right, the four people gathered at the entrance of the archery gym are the "Four Guardians of Fuyuki", "Anatom Chaser" Ayako Mizutsugu, "Planet Guardian" Taiga Fujimura, "Antimatter Imperial Fist" Kazunari Yanagido and "Magical Immortal Fist" Shinji Matou.
Although this title cannot be taken seriously, it still caused Shinji to have wild thoughts (it was wild, not fantasy). Perhaps this itself was a signal—this Holy Grail War was unusual, and he might not be sure of winning. Even if he was sure of winning, he might not be able to maintain the stability and peace of Fuyuki.
As he went further and further on the path of magic, he could sense some changes in his fortune, similar to the "immortal's heart moving" in Chinese mythology. This Holy Grail War was strange from the beginning, and he couldn't help but think about it. What if it really happened as the "peace and nuclear peace" stalk, and peace turned into "nuclear peace", that would be terrible.
After all, this is a city where he has lived for more than ten years, and he has developed feelings for it. Shinji does not want the Holy Grail War to cause irreparable damage. He must call Elquet back as soon as possible, so that even if the scale of the battle expands, he can use "Imagination Materialization" to control it.
In the writing of Nasu Kinoko, Taiga, Mizutsu, and Issei are all contributing to Fuyuki in their own ways. Only Matou Shinji is simply causing trouble and is not worthy of being listed alongside the other three.
But it’s different now. I am not the twisted scum I used to be. I will protect this city in my own way and make this title worthy of its name.
When they came to their senses, the war between the guardians had begun again.
This time it is not a one-on-one battle between "Planet Guardian" and "Antimatter Royal Fist", but a teaming up of "Planet Guardian" and "Nuclear God Chaser" to attack "Antimatter Royal Fist" alone.
