[''So Shirou are you there?''] I hear Zelretch voice but I couldn't realize where it was coming from then I noticed the necklace was in the ground so I reached for it.
''Guess I am, damn I'm surprised I'm still alive.'' I sighted as was dusting my hair, funny thing my hair felt rather different.
[''What the...but how...why...could it be a time line difference, but that never happened before.''] Zelretch was trying to say something but was panicking, that was a first.
''What are you rambling about?'' I asked as I got up from the ground.
[''Shirou... Trace a mirror.''] He said with a serious voice.
A mirror? Why would I trace a mirror? Actually can I even trace a mirror? I can trace kitchen utensils when I cook, but a mirror? Oh well might as well try.
''Trace on.''
A simple hand mirror appeared in my hand, I just looked in awe for a moment after which I realized what was in the mirror.
''WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!'' I shouted as was examining myself. I looked the same as I looked during the holy grail war, my hair was rusty red again , my skin was white again, my eyes turned back to their golden color...but the only difference is that my height didn't too change.
''I'm a teen again...'' I just sighted as looked at the sky
[''I don't know why but it somehow happened...perhaps it has to do with your contact with the jewel before forging it the necklace or perhaps this world has a different time flow.''] He just seemed to go on rumbling as he couldn't find an answer, I just let him finish his debate and began checking my surrounding I was in a park, a rather nice one it reminding me of the one back in Fuyuki.
[''Shirou before you go anywhere how about putting some clothes on?''] Zelretch said with a chuckle.
As I looked at myself I noticed that my clothes were in a complete mess, more like they were almost gone.
''R-right.'' I said as was opened the black suitcase and changes my clothes behind a tree.
''Guess I'll need some new clothes, these are too big for me now '' I said as the clothes I was wearing now were hanging on me.
Even thought my height didn't change my muscles did, they are still bigger and better than they were during the grail war but their still small for my clothes.
[''Now Shir... Huh wha... Damn can't...''] the old man was trying to say something but I couldn't understand.
''Zelretch I can't understand what you're saying.'' I shouted to the necklace.
[Shirou...communication...can't...signal...good luck Shi...''] and he was just cut off.
''Guess I'm all alone now huh.'' I said as I sighted and started walking
And so a month has passed
''Thank you so much Emiya-kun for helping us again.'' a girl with glasses told me with a smile.
''Nah it's not a big deal, I like to give a helping hand whenever I can Shinra-san.'' a replied a small smile on my face.
After I lost communication with Zelretch I wondered around the city in search for a place to stay, I initially thought I'd have to get a part-time job to have money for rent but when I checked the suit case my eyes popped out... That old man did tell me he put some money in my luggage but ...does some mean to him 1 FRICKING MILLION DOLLARS?!
I MEAN REALLY 1 MILLION DOLLARS!?
I know I need money but 1 million really? Well after I thought a little, it was a little logic Zelretch did send here to act as an observer of this world and he probably known that I would have refused the money if he told me the amount, and I'd rather get a part-time job and that would have meant I'd spend a lot of time of the day working.
So since I can't send him the money back I thought I might as well use it. What does surprise me is that this world has the same money as my own.
I bought a place to stay, a traditional Japanese home, it has 2 bedrooms, a bath, a living room, but most important it has a BIG kitchen.
Don't get shocked about the 2 bedroom thing, I'm living alone but I'm using one bedroom as a training room, for physical training and projection training, since Zelretch gave me a lot of new items I can project.
Even thought my appearance changed I am still tall, my face and features are back to how they were when I was 17 years. Because of this I had to do something I didn't think I would ever do.
Go back to school... Yeah I know, kinda obvious right? Well it can't be helped, it would be weird if a kid would go wondering all around the city all day long. Don't want unnecessary attention.
As weird as it sounds a school could be a good place to study this world, like studying how normal people act here, what is common sense I modified the documents Zelretch gave me and enrolled at a high school in this town call Kuoh Academy.
I heard it went co-ed in the recent years, this could explain why there are some many girls here... not that it matters to me.
From what I realized the past month of observation, our worlds are pretty similar or at least when it comes to education and common sense, also it seems that this world history is the same as mine or at least the public one.
I tried to keep a low profile so I didn't join any clubs or join any groups, but it seems as my body returned to how it was when I was 17 so had some old habits.
More precise my helping habits.
''But really Emiya-kun you help people too much, ever since you transferred here a month ago you've been helping each club with their electric equipment, but also been doing any small task anyone has asked you and you don't want anything in return.'' she said with a calm and collected tone.
This person here is Tsubaki Shinra the Vice-President of Kuoh Academy's Student Council.
''Well that's the kind of person I am.'' I replied with a small chuckle.
''But really people starting calling you The Scarlet Saint of Kuoh Academy.'' she said with a small smile and I mean very small smile which was pretty rare for her.
I released a small sight at this... I mean come on.
''I've been called many things during my life but a Scarlet Saint really?'' I replied with a tired expression.
''Must be your hair, you're the only male student here with that hair color, remember the first day you transferred here, the President stopped you in the corridor and demanded you wash your hair dye.'' she said with a calm face.
''How could I forget, I took me a long time to convince her that this was my natural hair color, although with the risk of sounding mean it was a bit amusing how she got embarrassed after the situation was cleared, she kinda reminded me of an old friend.'' I said while I remembered Totsaka, even though she always tried to keep a perfect student image it was pretty amusing when she got embarrassed.
