Chapter 568

Rin Tohsaka: "Really useless, are you the police in the movie."

Magical Girl Rin Tohsaka: "Feels like he was deliberately watching the show."

Blonde Rin: "Very likely."

Archer: "..."

Can you guys not gossip behind my back?

[Rider's issue is resolved, and next, Rin Tohsaka goes to investigate Caster.]

[Previously, she thought the Caster pair had teamed up with the Rider pair, but based on Medusa's exit, it's clear that wasn't the case at all.]

[This leaves only one possibility: Caster's Master is also at the school, and it's very likely they are a student just like them.]

[Rin Tohsaka begins investigating based on this point, and she actually finds some clues.]

[The next day, Rin Tohsaka stops Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya at the school gate and states her deduction.]

[According to the clues provided by Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya, Medea has taken root in Ryudou Temple, so her Master is very likely related to Ryudou Temple.]

[Rin Tohsaka actually finds someone: Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya's other good friend, Issei Ryudou.]

[Issei Ryudou is actually the son of the head priest of Ryudou Temple; Ryudou Temple can be said to be his home.]

[Therefore, Rin Tohsaka reasonably suspects that Caster's Master is Issei Ryudou.]

[I have to say, it's very reasonable.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya expresses his disagreement, or rather, he doesn't want to believe that Issei Ryudou, who looks serious but is actually kind-hearted, would collude with a witch.]

[Of course, the main reason is—]

[He has already lost one friend, and this is the rhythm of cutting off the other one too.]

[Rin Tohsaka, however, becomes increasingly convinced that Issei Ryudou is Caster's Master.]

[Because the current Ryudou Temple has been transformed into a workshop by Caster, and the entire temple gate has announced it is closed, yet Issei Ryudou is able to enter and exit freely every day.]

[The two have a disagreement, and Rin Tohsaka is so angry at Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya's stubbornness that the veins on her forehead are popping.]

Caules: "This deduction is logical, if not for the fact that we already know Caster's Master is Souichirou Kuzuki."

Househusband: "It actually involved Issei again!"

Househusband: "Come to think of it, I never noticed before that Issei lives at Ryudou Temple."

Taiga Fujimura: "You're a very unqualified friend."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "What is the relationship between Souichirou Kuzuki and Issei Ryudou?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Mr. Kuzuki..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Although he is my homeroom teacher, I don't know much about him."

Taiga Fujimura: "Yeah, that person is very boring; he never attends teachers' gatherings and doesn't chat with people much."

Ciel: "However, being able to enter and exit Caster's territory freely is indeed a bit problematic."

Zabiko: "Yeah, not to mention anything else, the Kojiro hurdle alone is not easy to pass."

Househusband: "..."

Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya is a bit panicked now, worried that another friend is showing signs of a character collapse.

[Seeing that Rin Tohsaka is about to escalate from a verbal battle to a physical one, Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya finally chickens out and can only Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take a step back, saying: "I know, I know, leave the matter about Issei to me first."]

["Whether he is the Master or not, let me be the one to find out."]

[The relationship between Rin Tohsaka and Issei Ryudou has actually always been bad; if Rin Tohsaka were to investigate, the two would definitely have a huge falling out.]

[However, Rin Tohsaka isn't very reassured by Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya either; after all, this guy is famous for being soft-hearted.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya: "Trust me. Even if Issei is my friend, I won't make any exceptions."]

["I got it. Tell me as soon as you have results, you hear?"]

[Seeing Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya so determined, Rin Tohsaka has no choice but to agree.]

["So, what do you plan to do?"]

["Eh... ah... this... that..."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya has an idea he thinks is great, an idea that can definitely prove Issei's innocence, but he can't tell Rin Tohsaka.]

["Ho—"]

[Rin Tohsaka leans in front of Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya with eyes like a cat, saying with a gloomy face: "Don't tell me you're planning to do what you usually do, go to Issei and say 'Hey, Issei, are you a Master?'!"]

["How could that be."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya hurriedly denies it: "Don't worry. Even without asking Issei, I have a way to figure out if he is a Master."]

[His plan this time is absolutely flawless.]

Taiga Fujimura: "So confident. Emiya Emiya Shirou, what is the plan?"

Househusband: "How could I know that!"

Fiore: "Looking at his expression, it seems like some unspeakable method."

Caules: "He isn't really planning to just go and ask, is he?"

Zabiko: "He shouldn't be stupid enough to go that far; at most, he'll try to fish for information indirectly."

Househusband: "..."

[The scene shifts to the student council office during lunch break.]

[Issei Ryudou is just about to enjoy his bento when he suddenly sees Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya sneaking in, then locking the door.]

["Emiya, what's wrong?"]

[Issei Ryudou is a bit confused; is this guy hiding from someone?]

["Hoo..."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya takes a deep breath, walks to Issei Ryudou's Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, and says with extreme seriousness: "Issei, don't ask anything, just trust me."]

["Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take off your clothes."]

[Issei Ryudou: "..."]

Everyone: "..."

Everyone: "Pfft... Hahahaha o(〃^▽^〃)o!!!"

Househusband: "(/ω＼)"

No, what kind of operation is this!

Zabiko: "I get it, you're trying to see if Issei Ryudou has a Command Spell on him."

Blonde Rin: "No, what's the difference between this operation and just asking directly!"

Jinako: "I didn't expect to actually see such a plot in reality o(*////▽////*)q."

Satsuki Yumizuka: "I always feel like this was premeditated."

Illya: "So Emiya Emiya Shirou, what you like is—"

Househusband: "..."

Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya doesn't explain, because right now, all defenses are pale and powerless.

["W-what!!!"]

[After being stunned for a few seconds, Issei Ryudou, who always wears a serious face, is successfully broken.]

[He is seen backing away in fear until he hits the cabinet with nowhere left to go, his face flushed red as he assumes a fighting stance.]

[So Emiya actually has this kind of fetish!]

["Are you serious? Is this some new way of arguing?"]

["Alright, alright, let me see, it'll be too late after school."]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya lunges forward, grabs Issei Ryudou's clothes, and 'skillfully' undoes the buttons.]

["Eh? Stop it! You idiot, do you still consider yourself a son of a martial arts family?"]

[Issei Ryudou struggles desperately, only to find that with his own strength, he can't break free from Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya's restraint at all.]

[This kid, when did he get so strong!]

["Don't! Emiya!!!"]

[In an instant, the scent of bromance fills the student council activity room.]

Illya: "Emiya Emiya Shirou, you're so overbearing, and your technique looks quite practiced too."

Househusband: "Of course it's practiced! Because everyone's school uniform is the same style!"

Illya: "Don't explain, we understand (?ω?)."

Househusband: "..."

Househusband: "(┳◇┳)"

[A few minutes pass, and Issei Ryudou is squatting on the ground, hugging his bare upper body, feeling like he can't get married anymore.]

[Emiya Emiya Shirou Emiya has seen his entire body; how shameful!!!]

["Great, really great."]
