"Ah, yes." Shirou replied with an unsure smile, not sure what else to say.
When the door was closed from outside, Ninny burst into rage.
"That old man is the worst!"
"I can't agree more." Noel second her, her tone was annoyed. It was rare for her to show this much emotion, which was a testament to how much she hated that guy. "Anyway, we have finished our business here. What do you plan to do next?"
"Umm... I will look around Reverse London." Shirou answered after pondering his choice. "Then I will go to my next destination. How should I contact you when I want to return to normal London?"
"Just go back to the same phone booth. Put the same coin you were given at the start and say you're Kurosaki Shirou." Ninny replied with a shrug, "You can come whenever you want."
"I see."
Nodding to himself, Shirou decided to bid the two farewells and walked away from them.
He had to go and find out more about this Reverse London, and what exactly the Wing Bind were.

Billy Banx Jr. entered his room and closed the door behind him.
It had been an interesting meeting and he had a lot of things on his mind. Things he wanted to do, but also some things he couldn't do yet.
The boy was an anomaly. Someone with an ability to kill a dragon with a bow.
A dangerous one, if his instinct didn't lie. The man had lived through a lot, and he could see that the boy would become a dangerous individual in the future.
The boy's name was Kurosaki Shirou. And his origin was pretty interesting as well.
"Karakura Town in Japan." He mumbled, remembering the conversation he just had with the boy. "So he's from the Eastern Branch."
Eastern Branch, often known as Soul Society who dealt with Souls and Hollows. Each side never got connected with each other, mainly because their way of living was too different and the way their world was divided into two parts, similar to the front and the reverse side.
And also, because both of their organizations didn't like to interact with the other.
"If he's only here for vacation, then I won't mind. But..."
He had to be cautious, just in case the boy was actually here to do something dangerous.
It wouldn't hurt to check and observe so he wouldn't open a pandora box.
***
Reverse London was pretty big and interesting, so to say the least.
There were restrictions to visit certain places, of course due to the danger of Dragons, but that didn't stop Shirou from looking around. It was a place that he didn't expect to find when he visited the phone booth out of curiosity.
This place, the other side of London, seemed to have a lot of secrets to offer.
"..."
Shirou walked through the street and passed through a few people. All of them were wearing different kinds of outfits, with different hairstyles.
Some even flew in the sky by riding small dragons; he identified them as Wizards and Witches. It was strange to think that those who could use magic existed in this world and they weren't the same kind like Tohsaka or Matou did.
But that didn't mean they weren't magi. Because of what Noel and Ninny had told him, and his observation so far, there were many kinds of magi and they differed greatly.
'So the magic in the other world is pretty different. They aren't magecraft like what I know from Tohsaka, or magic that comes from spiritual energy that we use.'
From his point of view, they seemed more like magi in a fairy tale than real ones. But it wasn't impossible for Wizards and Witches similar to his previous world to exist.
"So I just need to use this Coin to return?" He looked at the Coin that he received alongside his visitor card and flipped it in his hand. "This will make my job much easier."
The Coin worked like Senkaimon in Soul Society, connecting two places and transporting a person to and from a designated area.
But unlike Senkaimon, the coin would open at the exact location where it was used.
Front London and Reverse London were the same side of the coin. What happened in Reverse London would also be reflected on Front London.
Which meant all gas explosions and missing people broadcasted in the internet might actually happen in Reverse side.
'I can't stay here longer.' Shirou thought to himself as he walked back to the phone booth where he came from.
Staying for a long time would only bring more problems for him, and there were still things that needed to be done.
It would be a problem if the organization decided that he was dangerous enough to warrant attention or worse, elimination. And if he got caught, he might not be able to return home.
His experience with Soul Society made him more cautious when dealing with supernatural world organization.
If he wanted to go to Glastonbury and find out if Avalon existed or not, then he should go as soon as possible.
Entering the phone booth, he inserted the Coin and the magic activated even without him uttering his name. The elevator brought him back to Front London.
The scenery changed and now Shirou found himself in the clearing from before.
And so, he decided to find a restaurant to eat and go to sleep for the day.
Tomorrow, he would go to Glastonbury.

At the top of Wing Bind's headquarters, 8 Zodiacs gathered in their usual meeting room. A holographic map floated on their center. On it, they saw the boy that was mentioned in the report.
"His name is Kurosaki Shirou, and he is from Karakura Town." Sullivan Squire, the leader of Sabres, the Scorpio said, reading out loud the information displayed on the document.
"There is no further information regarding him or his background. And we can't find him in the Soul Society register. Which means he is unaffiliated or at least unknown to the Eastern Branch."
"Interesting," Bruno Bangnyfe, the leader of Inks commented as he stared at the image of an auburn haired boy. "He can see Dragons, use magic, and he can defeat Dragon without using a magic kit. A dangerous individual with a capital D."
"It is a bit concerning, yes." Sullivan said with a serious tone as she turned to face a black man wearing sunglasses. "What do you think about this, Roy?"
The man called Roy didn't answer right away, instead he looked at the picture displayed before them.
"I can't say for certain," Roy answered after a moment of thinking, "He is dangerous, yes. But not a threat to us or Reverse London at the moment. If anything, we could recruit him to our side."
"Billy has already asked, and he refused." Sullivan stated. "I will take care of this. If he's only a tourist and he follows the rules, then there will be no problem. But if he crosses the line, then it will be my job to stop him. Anything to add?"
No one answered, so she continued.
"Then this discussion is over. Now let us talk about the next problem, about the Disguiser case..."
