Chapter 39: Training begins
(??? pov)
My life is full of tragedy. I don't even remember the last time I was genuinely happy. Why did it happened to me? What did I do to deserve this and why am I the only one to suffer?
While other are living their lives as they plese I'm in a constant pain not knowing when it'll increase. One would think that the only time of relief is when I sleep but it's not true. During night I have nightmare after nightmare. One worse than the next one and what's worse sometimes they are more bearable than reality.
It wouldn't be so bad but my so called 'sister' is living her life to the fullest. Intellectual, athletic and have friends who would understand her.
Sometimes I wish that we would swap places but as I learned in my life, dreams are meant to be unfulfilled.
The only ray of hope was a boy in my school. We go together to the same club. He always had a smile on his face, the same kind I had, a fake one. He could fool the rest but I know a pained person when i see one.
Despite that his act never broke in the few months that we knew each other. It means that he acted that way for a long time. Finally someone who could understand me. I don't know what kind of experience he had but it doesn't matter to me.
I tried to be closer to him and being with him made me feel happy for the first time in years. Being near him feeled as we licked each others wounds.
My life finally had an up in it but I forgot what else I learned during my life, all good things end leaving only suffering.
Since last week this boy stopped pretending. He had a genuine smile on his face. And now, once again I'm alone.
Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!!!
But suddenly it hit me. I forgot, all good things come to the end but no one said that it can't be accelerated by others and when he is at his lowest I'll be there for him. We will once more licking our wounds. We will need only each other. We will always be together. Me and my... senpai.
(Shirou's pov)
Shirou: "A week has passed since the fight and nothing major has happened in that time which is worrying. They say that no news is good news but it doesn't work in this situation. Angelica and Beatrice have teleported but we don't know where they are. The only thing I'm sure of is that they won't give up on capturing Miyu.
The most optimal way would be to secure Miyu inside the mansion and protect her there but it would be too cruel for her as after the events of the fight she tried to run away a few times. Fortunately I as Archer was able to convince her to stay and don't worry.
During this week I also went with Rin on our second date. This time we visited an amusement park. Our relationship didn't progress further than a few tame kisses and hands holding but I feel we'll make a breakthrough soon because pressure from her competition increases with each day. I of course won't force her to do something she isn't willing to do but as tsundere she needs only a little push.
I'll also will be going to archery competition. My juniors from the club practically begged me to participate so I just couldn't say no to them.
Besides that I'm also a little worried about Truck-chan and ROB. They were uncharacteristically well behaved. My instinct is telling me that they are planning something. I'm not sure if they do it together or separately but it certainly will be big.
I didn't have any interaction with Bezett after that day. I am scared of what will happen to me if she'll start read doujins as well.
As I'm already talking about worries now is time to talk about Mage Association and the Holy Church. I'm aware that the Holy Church was observing card collection as Caren was their representative but I don't know how much information they'll disclose and what kind if move they prepare for occurring situation. I wouldn't be suprise if they send their powerhouses to protect the planet from the 'invasion' from another world."
I sipped my coffe.
Cu: "Why are you narrating to me?"
Shirou: "Just felt like it. Nevermind that, what did you want to discuss?"
Cu: "Do you remember that you owe me a favor for protecting the girls?"
Shirou: "How could I forget. Do you want ask me of something now?"
Cu: "Yes, but not here."
We changed our location. We went to the woods but it was not mu usual training place.
Cu: "If you know my legend you are probably aware who was my master."
I nodded.
Shirou: "It was Scathach, Queen of the Land of Shadows."
Cu-san nodded his head affirmatively.
Cu: "I don't have any regrets in my life. I had a few disappointments. One of these was not being able to kill my master but nevermind that. I want to try being a master at least once and you have a potential with your seemingly unlimited amount of weapons but the way you handle is too crude."
Shirou: "Ok, so what is your plan."
Cu-san didn't say anything and just smiled at me.

A few hours later I was laying on ground trying to catch a breath.
Cu: "Break's over, now stand up. If I was my master you would have ten spears flying at you as you would try to stand. Besides you have regeneration, you don't need to rest as long as others."
Shirou: "It doesn't mean that I need any. Even Avalon have it's limits."
I retorted and suddenly I had a brilliant idea.
Shirou: "Cu-san, do you remember when we first met you introduced yourself as one and only Cu Chulainn. How about we test it?"
I took out the lancer card that I got from Bazett last week. I wanted to have saber card but as I wanted to say that Rin gave me a warning gaze.
I projected Gae Bolg to act as catalyst to summon another Cu to fight the one who trained (tortured) me. It can seem to be a little petty but after few hours of our training I wanted to have a little win.
Shirou: "Summon Lancer!!!"
A card lit up a d after eight fades away a figure of an extremely beautiful woman with long purple hair and red eyes that seemed to be able to see through you. She wore full-body outfit that highlights her curvaceous body.
Seeing her I have only one thought, oh no.
