Thirty-Third Projection

[Video; filtered to Saber, Rin, Sakura, and Irisviel]

Hey, I had an idea the other day, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. Let's go on a vacation! Spring has sprung, so we should celebrate with a beach trip. We can all go to Cianwood City -- the entire city's on the beach, and the weather should be nicer than the mainland.

Plus, it's a chance for everyone to spend time together! And in a couple cases, get to know each other better. Oh, and we could even take a day trip to the Safari Zone! What do you say?

I was going to say relax and enjoy ourselves. So, what's up?

I do not think it is feasible for me to leave Goldenrod City.

[ Plus she can't swim. ]

Why not? I thought the Breeding Centre still had enough people to operate properly with two or three people gone at any given time.

[She'll be there with four people who can. She'll be fine.]

There are other responsibilities that I cannot abandon. Plus, if I leave, someone else might disappear. [ That last part slips out as she quickly averts her gaze. ] I... I c-cannot swim!

[ It was the best thing she can think of to distract from the more honest statement. ]

You can't--

[Well, thinking about it, it makes sense. She could walk on water thanks to the blessing from the Lady of the Lake; what use would she have for swimming?]

That's fine, we can fix that.

[And with that, that subject flees to the back of his mind.]

But more importantly, what do your leaving and people disappearing have to do with each other? People can just as easily disappear when you're there.

N-No, I just... no, I do not think it a good idea for me to go.

[ Still going to ignore that subject even if his logic is right. It's a sad day when Shirou's logic sounds right. ]

I would not wish to be a burden. So you go and I will enjoy my time here.

No. This is for all of us. It won't be as fun otherwise. Besides, you need some time to yourself and with your friends from home.

I mean. I can tell that you're worried about the people you've met here disappearing. But what about the people you met back home disappearing? If Tohsaka or Irisviel or I disappear, you're as likely to see them again as anyone you've met here.

Irisviel disappearing...

[ She doesn't seem too thrilled over the concept. After all, she knows what became of her and later what happened to her daughter she loved dearly. Spending time with her is a priority now as she gives a slow nod. ]

Right... I just do not wish to trouble you.

Saber, I told you I'm glad you're around, remember? I really mean that. You won't be any trouble.

Shirou...

Are you certain? If so, then I would be content in joining you.

I couldn't be more certain.

[ 'Could Lancer come?' was the next question, but she knows if he came along, the four ladies may end up feeling uncomfortable. ]

Then if you insist, I accept. Just as long as you promise to... teach me.

Of course! It'd be a pleasure to show you how to swim. I bet the girls would get involved, too.

Can we keep it a secret? I do not wish for Irisviel to worry over things that are unnecessary.

Uh...I guess so. Sure.

She just... she just means so much to me, Shirou. I do not wish to give her any more trouble than I have.

...When you say it like that, it sounds like she means more to you than either Tohsaka or me.

[He doesn't look hurt; only surprised.]

[ Spoilers: she does. ]

Um.. that is because she, um, Shirou, do you not find it cruel to make me choose?

Huh? Making you choose? I'm...I'm not trying to do that.

It sounds as though you are.. comparing yourself to my first Master in such a manner.

...Your first Master? But you told me that my father summoned you.

It is complicated.

Then let's talk about it later. I need to talk to Irisviel in person anyway.

And... and what will you tell her, Shirou?

[ Suddenly Saber's a lot more guarded judging by the stern tone she's taken on. ]

I cannot allow you to tell her anything that will damage her.

I'm not going to do that, Saber. I promised my father that I'd keep her safe and happy, and I'm going to follow through on that promise.

But she deserves to know that her husband adopted a son. Especially since that son is in this world with her.
