In the evening, the six individuals, having spent a day playing, left the sports complex and headed back to the dorms. However, considering the darkening sky and everyone's fatigue, they ultimately decided to have dinner outside school before returning to the dorms.
"Since none of you have any specific requests, let's go to that family restaurant I know. The food there is very delicious."
"Alright, since Kurone-senpai intends to show off his worth, we naturally have to accept it openly!"
"Senpai, Shirou, can't you be a little less harsh?"
"No, because you two dared to secretly scheme against me." Shirou said, a smile constantly on his lips as he looked at Ikki with a dangerous gaze. Then he shifted his gaze to Arisu Nagi on the side.
"And of course, you too!" Looking at the two traitors walking on either side of him, Shirou smiled as he pondered how to get revenge on them. After all, "courtesy demands reciprocity," right?
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, please forgive me, Emiya-sama!"
Sensing Shirou's dangerous gaze, Ikki and Arisu Nagi instantly cowered and surrendered, begging for mercy.
Looking at their sincere expressions, Shirou remained silent for a moment before calmly saying, "Fine, let's just drop this."
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Emiya-sama!" Seeing that Shirou was no longer holding a grudge against them, Ikki and Arisu Nagi's nervous feelings instantly calmed down. However, neither of them noticed that Shirou was secretly chuckling where they couldn't see.
"Hehe, you want forgiveness? Too late!"
"For now, I'll keep you stable, so you don't get suspicious."
"Just wait, my anger isn't so easily quelled." Shirou, observing their actions out of the corner of his eye, was continuously devising schemes against the two of them in his mind.

Unlike the lively atmosphere in the front, Stella, in the back, was constantly sighing.
"How did it turn out like this?"
"Why? I don't quite understand?"
"This is just too strange!" Recalling everything that happened at the pool, Stella felt worse than ever before.
At this moment, she felt completely weak, light-headed, and wanted to collapse onto her bed and have a good sleep. After all, what happened today had caused too much emotional damage to her. She had gone to confess, but their relationship inexplicably turned into siblings?
Was there anyone in the world more unlucky than her?
Probably not! It's not like someone would go to confess, be mistaken for wanting an autograph, then not only get the autograph but also become the other person's manga assistant, right? There definitely wouldn't be such a person.
So, was she the unluckiest one? Looking at the dejected Stella beside her, Shizuku turned her head and covered her mouth with her hand, desperately suppressing her urge to laugh out loud. Yet, her shoulders were still trembling. A confession turned into siblings, how could there be such a strange person in the world! As expected of you, Stella! Is this the fate of the world's strongest Blazer? Hilarious!
Looking at the downcast Stella and the giggling Shizuku covering her mouth, Ayase, walking beside them, was completely bewildered. What was wrong with these two? She didn't understand. After all, she had been diligently training today.
Thus, with the three beautiful girls behind them displaying various expressions, the group of six, led by Ikki, arrived at their destination, the family restaurant.

After being seated in the restaurant, everyone began to order. Everyone else's dinner orders were normal, except for Stella's, which greatly surprised the server.
"A six-person mixed platter and six steaks!" Hearing Stella's order, the server near them simply couldn't believe it. Was this truly the amount of food a person could eat? But then, thinking that the customer was most likely a Blazer, a student knight, the server stopped asking questions. After all, Blazers often contained many "monsters." It was probably normal to have someone who could eat a lot, right?
"Fa-Familion-san's appetite is truly enormous!"
"I can't help it. If I don't eat this much, my body won't listen to me."
"You eat so much, yet why is your figure so slender? I can't quite accept it." Hearing Ayase's question, Stella also felt that she was a big eater. Her cheeks flushed, looking a bit embarrassed, but she continued to eat. She heartily ate this mountain of high-calorie dinner. Within her body lay immense power, and to drive such a body, it naturally required an equivalent amount of fuel.
"But you usually don't eat this much today!" Eating her own meal, glancing at the ravenous Stella beside her, Shizuku said with a smile. As roommates, Shizuku naturally knew Stella's appetite. But her appetite today was much larger than usual.
"Haha, I'm just really hungry today!" In front of Shirou,
Stella naturally couldn't say that she was dissatisfied with their current sibling relationship. But she was truly distressed right now and wanted to eat a lot.
"Being able to eat is good! As the saying goes, a good appetite is a blessing!" Hearing the three girls' conversation, Shirou couldn't help but say with a smile.
"Since Stella loves to eat so much, then you can come to our dorm to eat from now on. I'll cook more, so you can eat even better."
Although he didn't accept Stella's romantic feelings, the two still ended up as siblings. For Shirou, since Stella became his sister, he had to fulfill his duty as an older brother and take good care of her.
"Really?" Hearing Shirou's words, Stella asked with sparkling eyes. She was very craving Shirou's cooking. That kind of delicious food, once tasted, could never be forgotten.
"Of course!"
"Yay, that's great!"
"I want to go too!"
"Me too!" Hearing Shizuku and Arisu's requests, Shirou naturally agreed. Since he was going to cook, making a bit more wouldn't hurt.
"Okay!"
"That's great, thank you, Shirou!" Seeing Shirou agree, Shizuku and Arisu cheered with smiles. Ayase, sitting nearby, watched this scene and also wanted to join in. Just as she was about to speak, a coarse voice suddenly came from the side.
"Haha, it really is you. I was thinking that face looked familiar, it really is Ayase."
In that instant, Ayase's eyes widened in surprise. Standing in front of her was a tall man, about 180 centimeters tall. His hair was dyed, and behind his sunglasses, triangular eyes held an unconcealed ferocity.
He was openly smoking despite being in a non-smoking section, and a loose, crimson shirt hung on his body. The open part of his chest revealed a skull tattoo, the grinning skull intimidating the surrounding customers.
This conspicuous appearance was familiar to Ikki and the others. When the group entered this restaurant, there was a group of people in the deeper part of the smoking section who were constantly laughing and being unruly, and he was one of them.
Looking at the man before him, Shirou's eyes narrowed.
Kurashiki Kurodo, the Sword Slayer. In the original story, he was a true martial arts fanatic, someone who would stop at nothing to fight. Shirou had no intention of fighting him. After all, his martial arts were truly amateurish; his victories relied entirely on his natural physical talent. Such an opponent held no interest for him. It was better to leave him for Ikki to handle!
