The Two Magi (Part I)

Scene 1

Shiro tells Saber to stay hidden before he left for school. However, he is worried about her for the rest of the day. When he gets home, he is relieved to find her sleeping, though she senses him and wakes up. Saber, who’s been getting a lot of rest, has more or less healed from the previous battle. At dinner, Fuji-nee dividing up the meatballs reminds Shiro that Saber is alone and missing out on dinner. So before they start to eat, Shiro brings her to the dining room and introduces her to everyone. Of course, Fuji-nee objects, but Shiro claims that she’s a distant relative. Saber tells them that she’s here to protect Shiro at his father’s request. Hearing that, Fuji-nee decides to test Saber’s ability with a fight. When Saber soundly defeats her, Fuji-nee has no choice but to let Saber stay. Though Saber and Shiro want to sleep in the same room for safety reasons, Fuji-nee insists on the three girls staying together for the night.

Scene 2 Meanwhile, Rin is out fighting skeleton warriors, but fails to get her target. However, it does seem that Archer has healed. He asks if what Rin would do if Shiro appears in front of her on his own initiative, to which Rin responds that she would kill him.

Scene 3

In the morning, Fuji-nee and Sakura leave after breakfast. Shiro reassures Saber that he’ll be ok at school, but she’s still worried about Rin being there. She warns him that their connection is still weak, and if he gets in trouble, he needs to summon her with the symbol on his hand. Most importantly, he should think about protecting himself.

Scene 4

In front of school, Shiro experiences a bad feeling, but it quickly goes away. From a nearby tree, a shadowy figure is watching him. In the hall, Shiro comes across Rin and tries to say hi, but she just ignores him. Shiro goes to the student council room and learns from a sleepy Issei that Mitsuzuri Ayako and Matou Shinji are missing. After class, Shiro encounters Rin again by the stairwell. This time, she’s prepared to kill him, especially since no one else is around. She shoots at him as he runs, but he manages to get away. Shiro barricades himself in a classroom and finds that Rin has erected a barrier around the school. With her casting a potentially devastating spell from outside, Shiro uses his power on a desk and strengthens it as a shield. Outside, still in that tree, a blindfolded Servant starts to smile.
