Telling Shirou that she cannot come and help until the day after, she asks him to stay home as much as possible, even skipping work if he must.įrom here, the day proceeds as in the Fate route: Sakura is concerned to find that the bruise on Shirou's hand is getting worse. Shirou notes that the sound of insects stopped as soon as Zouken left.
Brushing it off, he treats Shirou warmly and asks him to remain friends with his grandchildren before leaving. Zouken asks Shirou about the daughter of the Einzberns, but is shocked to find he is completely unaware of the Einzberns. There, he unexpectedly meets Zouken Matou, Sakura's grandfather, for the first time. The school bell then rings, and Sakura leaves in high spirits, thanking Shirou for keeping her company.Īfter his work, and glimpsing Rin Tohsaka in Shinto, Shirou heads to the Matou household to check on Sakura. Sakura reveals the boy was a young Shirou, and it was the first time she had seen him, and had admired him from afar since then. The boy was unable to perform the high jump, but stubbornly continued to try for hours, unwilling to give up. Discovering that she is mysteriously ill, Shirou skips work to keep her company, making her stay and skip her archery club practice to rest.Īs the sunset passes, Sakura recounts a story to Shirou, of a young boy she had witnessed four years before, practicing high jump alone after school. After classes end, however, Shirou heads to check on Sakura, and finds her alone in her classroom, downcast. The school day passes as in the other routes. She becomes quiet, and leaves without eating breakfast, telling Shirou to get some rest. Her mood is brought down, however, when she notices a strange bruise-like mark developing on the back of Shirou's hand. Sakura arrives, and enthusiastically helps him prepare the dish for lunch instead. However, he gets carried away, making too much. While making breakfast, Shirou decides to make an extra side dish for Sakura. Returning home without incident, the day proceeds as normal. Before leaving, Shirou hears the suspicious sound of a bug in the bushes, and notices a third light turned on in the house, despite only knowing Shinji and Sakura in the Matou family. However, they reach the Matou house without incident, and wish each other well. He also learns that Sakura had noticed a suspicious blonde foreigner loitering around her house recently. On the way to the Matou household, Shirou learns Sakura is acquainted with honor student Rin Tohsaka. Shirou is insistent, and Sakura eventually agrees. She is reluctant, fearful of getting them both into trouble with her brother Shinji Matou, who does not approve of her visits to Shirou's house. Shirou offers to walk Sakura home, concerned for her safety.
The day then proceeds as in the previous routes until dinner ends. While making breakfast with her, Shirou notices that Sakura is growing into a beautiful woman, and begins to feel attracted to her. Shirou Emiya is woken for school by his close junior, Sakura Matou.
