Capítulo 62: Chapter 59: The Aftermath

(a/n: yesterday was a festival so I was busy with preparations and stuff. so here is the chapter)

The practice of magecraft holds the origin and history at a high value, for example, two mages use the same spell but one of them can trace and visualise the origin and history of the spell and the other has lost their roots and then at collision the one who knows their roots will be victorious.

This is why Rin a Japanese magus use German for her jewel craft. Their magic originated from the magician of jewels the holder of operation of parallel worlds Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. He was an ambiguous German hence to maintain the roots the tohsaka followed this tradition.

In the moonlit world, names carry a lot of value, so the demon blade should be given an apt name. Otherwise, its concepts may be diluted, weakening it. By the convention of following roots, the blade should be given a fitting name in Japanese so the smith named it "phosphoric fang" which in Japanese is "Rin No Kiba".

This was Shirou's way of paying tribute to her for supporting and helping him throughout the process. He didn't understand the meaning of joining magic circuits, but he understood how much magi valued secrecy, and while using her circuits, he was able to gain an understanding of how her magecraft worked even without trying.

That is why he was extremely grateful for what she did and vowed to himself that at least he would never disappoint her faith in him. Looking at his son smiling with joy as he caressed the blade and Rin now standing beside the boy with her whole face red and muttering things a genuine and relieved smile bloomed on Kiritusgu`s face. He thought

< At least he will not be alone after I leave this world. Someone who can share her circuits with him out of her own violation wouldn't abandon him over some hypothetical sealing designation.>

The man was right this time, the constant pain and wearing out of the curse had brought him to the brink and he himself didn't know how long he could hold on before dying. Using a small metal-tipped pen shirou engraved the characters of the blades`s name on it. Once the handle is set the name will begin from just above the tsuba and reach along the spine of the blade.

The blade was ready from Shirou's side, now he had to plan a method and get the blade sharpened by a professional sharpener then he could prepare a handle for it and a saya. Leaving those worries behind they all left the forge, it was already noon and lunch time too so kiritsugu ordered food for 5 people.

As he had expected the children did eat 2 meals each, his years of research on magus biology were very useful in daily life even tho he researched it to perform better and cleaner murders. After dinner, shirou wanted to accompany Rin to her house but she told him to rest after removing the self-hypnosis and dashed out of the door.

Well, she was trained enough to beat the shit out of any creep that messes with her and the biggest trouble of them all the timmy-keeping priest was questionably her mentor. Rin rushed home because he had lessons with the priest who was hurrying up her training and loved seeing her suffer and struggle for power. Rin had kept her involvement with Shirou completely secret from the priest and the priest was uninterested in her hence he didn't track her.

This was a fatal balance where the priest did know that kiritsugu had settled in fuyuki and the magus killer didn't know that the priest was in the city alive and well. If they mutually knew this then the dying man could even try suicide bombing Kirei if it came down to it. After Rin left shirou went on and took a nap.

The next day shirou reached the school while dark circles were still under his eyes, he met issei who greeted him and asked

"Were you busy again yesterday?"

Shirou just nodded his head and went along with it, issei and Shinji had tried asking why shirou was randomly absent a lot of times. Shinji said

"People like you emiya, who are not born better should work hard so that they can catch up to the standard."

Shinji tried to dig into it even when shirou did not want to say anything hence issei pulled the boy by the collar and asked shirou

"Is it related to your family? Your mother?"

Shirou contemplated for some time and nodded. Issei with his family and the Fujimura and emiya families had gone out for some festivals together and met many times too. Issei had never met Shirou's mother, he had asked his father and was met with silence hence he assumed she might be dead. He knew she was from Europe and Kiritsugu met her on a business trip.

The boys have their tactic understanding set and Issei being the mature one due to his monk training makes sure the retard Shinji doesn't do something insensitive. When they reach the class the teacher`s mood turns sour when she spots shirou. She had complained to the principal about the absence strek of the boy, she was worried that this would affect his future education and career.

Kiritsugu had tried putting a suggestion on her but her will related to this was unexpectedly strong, hence putting a suggestion in the opposite direction was not cost-effective and needed to be reapplied regularly, hence they had left this problem alone.

Time passed by like this and shirou took his exam and got promoted to the next class, this parents-teacher meeting kiritsugu himself came instead of sending Taiga who happily took care of it after her meetings were taken care of by her father. She put 10 per cent of her efforts into anything kiritsugu asked her to do.

The homeroom teacher finally caught kiritsugu and pulled him into a room along with shirou and she looked at kiritsugu as if trying to stare holes through him. She grilled him with questions and her assumptions about him being careless about his child`s future. She did this out of the good in her heart but intentions don't justify the end and actions, so after the teacher`s bitching kiritsugu used the excuse that shirou is visiting his maternal family along with him.

When the teacher learnt that it was family-related and when kiritsugu told her face to face that she shouldn't pry into their family business she finally relented. Finally, they made the condition that as long as this schedule doesn't affect Shirou's grades and he is present for 50 per cent of the school days then he will be given a score according to his grades.

Shirou practised his magecraft and he chased after that conceptual feel that he had during the ritual, after that his magecraft was back to normal and he couldn't glimpse at the the concept of the weapon. He observed that the closer the thing is to a blade in nature the easier it is for him to use his magecraft on it.

Hence he now practised whenever he had time and took advantage of full-sleeve clothes at school he wore the hemostatic mystic code at school and used magecraft making the glow of circuits invisible to the outside.

And time once again rushed by, in his visions of the period of King Arthur he witnessed the 3 of them going on adventures and solving problems. He saw how the siblings fought to near fainting with a group of bandits and a random were they encountered, which was finally slain when artoria released the energy of her sword inside its eyes destroying its brain.

In the small city named Lute, the pair rested in a traven and paid the price for it using wyvern scales. Merlin vanished in a whirl of pink petals making both the siblings sigh, strolling through the street Merlin met a lady dressed in a relatively bright yellow gown and playing with her brown locks. Merlin approached her with a smile and sat down in front of her.

The valiant group took a rest in this city and artoria continued her lessons and practice of swordsmanship when Sir Kay spent his time hitting on the lord`s daughter who was mesmerised by him as her mind was filled with the tales of valiant knights taking the hand of princesses and her pink delusional eyes were focused on him.

This time lasted for a few days and Merlin met the woman he met in the restaurant again, this time they were drinking and giggling on the top of a spire of the Lord's castle and Merlin made a shower of lights and petals with magic making the two women who looked similar praise him and clap their hands in glee.

(A/N: did you people get the naming, the name of the blade can be read as Rin`s fang if you transliterate it. And as you can guess Merlin and sir kay are about to fuck around and get all of them in danger.

Plus the power of putting their nose in others' business can transcend magecraft. and being such a bitch that even you can`t be hypnotised to not be nosy. And Shinji is as insensitive as always.
