[On the screen, Emiya Shirou's figure quickly flashed back home.]
[After dinner, when Matou Sakura and Fujimura Taiga had left, Rin Tōsaka and Artoria both looked at Emiya Shirou seriously.]
["Shirou, didn't you say you had something to say?" Rin Tōsaka spoke first.]
["Well, I'll be frank. Today, I met Rider and her Master," Emiya Shirou confessed.]
[As soon as these words came out, Artoria and Rin Tōsaka's expressions changed suddenly.]
["What? Met with Rider's Master? When did this happen?" Rin Tōsaka asked in surprise.]
["Shirou, how dare you do this! You actually went to meet the enemy alone. What do you think of your life?!" Rin Tōsaka was a little angry.]
[Emiya Shirou quickly explained: "Calm down! It's okay, I'm not hurt. Don't be so angry."]
[Live Chat/Comments]
[Tōsaka Rin]: I was still too gentle at that time. Facing Shirou's behavior, I should have spanked him directly!
[Tōsaka Tokiomi]: Rin, you should always pay attention to elegance.
[Matō Sakura]: Shirou-senpai really shouldn't have followed my brother like that... There was no problem this time, but it doesn't mean there won't be any problems in the future.
[Lord El-Melloi II]: As a novice Master, Emiya Shirou still has a long way to go.
(The screen continued to play.)
[Then, Emiya Shirou told them in detail about going to the Matou mansion with Shinji to meet Rider.]
["Ryūdō Temple?" Artoria pondered after hearing the name. "If it's there, indeed, the great magecraft performed across the whole city can also be explained."]
["Saber, do you know that temple, Ryūdō Temple? I don't think I've been to that place," Tōsaka Rin looked at Artoria in confusion.]
[Artoria explained: "Shirou, have you forgotten? I participated in the last Holy Grail War and am actually very familiar with this place. Ryūdō Temple is one of the leylines and is the best base for collecting souls."]
["I see. Besides this, is there any other information, Saber?" Tōsaka Rin asked.]
[Artoria hesitated for a moment and said, "That mountain is set up with a barrier that is very inconvenient for Servants. Although it's not impossible to enter, one's abilities will be reduced after entering."]
[After a brief discussion, Artoria looked at Rin Tōsaka and Emiya Shirou, and her intention was obvious—to attack the opponent's base directly.]
["I won't go. It looks like a trap no matter how you look at it, and to be honest, this information isn't enough. Since we're going to the opponent's base, we should at least wait until we know what kind of Servant the opponent has," Rin Tōsaka thought for a while and said this.]
[Artoria raised her eyebrows: "It's unexpected. I originally thought Rin would go to the battle."]
["It's okay to underestimate me. My Archer isn't in perfect condition yet, so just watch for now," Rin replied.]
["I see. Then, Shirou, let's go to that temple," Artoria made a decision.]
[Emiya Shirou pondered for a moment and said, "No, Saber. I also think it's better for us not to attack there first."]
["Shirou also said not to fight? Stupid! What's the point of recuperating? Since we know where the enemy is, we should attack immediately," Artoria retorted eagerly.]
["I know, but wait a minute, Saber. If the owner of Ryūdō Temple is such a careful guy, he will definitely set a trap. It's suicidal to rush in without any strategy. Tōsaka is right; I think we should at least wait until Archer recovers," Emiya Shirou tried to persuade Artoria.]
["Of course it's dangerous. From the beginning, I never thought about winning without getting hurt. Even if I fall into a trap, I can fight as long as I don't lose my life. Even if I get seriously injured, as long as I defeat the Master, it will be fine, right?" Artoria insisted on her viewpoint.]
["Don't talk nonsense. How can getting hurt be okay? As a Master, I can't let Saber do such a dangerous thing," Emiya Shirou also firmly opposed it.]
["I thought you would say something. Listen carefully, Master. Servants are responsible for getting hurt. I won't allow my Master to avoid fighting because they're afraid of the Servant getting hurt!" Artoria's expression was completely dissatisfied.]
["It doesn't matter if you don't allow it. If Saber wants to mess around, I will stop you no matter how many times. If you don't like it, heal your body quickly. Your injuries aren't fully healed yet, right?" Emiya Shirou still insisted on his position.]
["I'm sorry, Saber. Anyway, we can't attack yet. It's not that I want to let the Master of Ryūdō Temple go, but given our current state... we can attack after your injuries have healed."]
["I understand. If the Master says so..." Artoria fell silent after saying this.]

[Mordred]: Emiya Shirou, how dare you do this to my father?!!
[Mordred]: And my father is right! We should attack at this time and make the enemy surrender!!
[Lancelot]: @Mordred, hahahaha, don't be so excited. After all, Emiya Shirou is just worried about the King.
[Mash Kyrielight]: Speaking of which, this is the only time they can be considered to have quarreled, right? This should be the first time they quarreled, right?
[Ritsuka Fujimaru]: That's true. The previous time, I think it was more like flirting than a quarrel.
(Scene: Fifth Holy Grail War Timeline - Emiya Residence)
Watching the screen, Emiya Shirou and Artoria were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Illya.
The two looked at Illya's small figure with solemn faces.
Through the screen, they probably knew this day would come sooner or later.
But they didn't expect it to come so quickly—even faster than Rin Tōsaka!
"Did you see the content on the screen and decide to act in advance?" Artoria muttered and quietly entered a combat state.
Looking at such an Artoria, Illya spoke in a crisp voice.
"Shirou-nii, I think there may be some misunderstanding."
"It's different from the screen. This time, I'm here to help you!"
