Very much so. The character interactions are what are most important to me in this quest, and as always they are very good.

A very enjoyable chapter, though I'm especially amused at Archer dragging Shirou down the hall to fix some of this nonsense. Hopefully Shirou had on some underwear under that robe or Sakura would have gotten acquainted with the bone of his sword.
 
Very neat chapter all-round. I really liked the build up to the situation.

"I've always trusted you," you reply immediately.

Circe's smile falters for a moment, a brief look of surprise coming onto her face. Then, to your surprise, she blushes. "Fool."

"Now you sound like Medea."

In a way, I guess Circe is like Medea in a way.

The last thing you recalled was being on the steps of Circe's temple, having passed out there after teleporting across half the island multiple times. She had been in your arms then, still injured, but apparently satisfied.

Wait, she was teleporting them mid-act out of euphoria XD? That is rather funny and adorable in a way.

And are immediately grabbed by your collar. You barely have time to let out a yelp before you are at the opposite end of the mansion. You only just register black armor and red clothing before the door to Sakura's room is violently swung open and you are thrown inside. Your shoulders hit the ground first, and you skid across the carpeting to come to a stop just before the edge of the bed. Behind you the door slams shut.

Thanks Archer, you have gifted us with a free interaction. We thank you.

"I don't regret it, Shirou, I don't hold it against you either." Sakura replies quietly. "But he was still my brother."

You look away, no longer quite willing to meet her eyes. "I wished I didn't have to either, but… he was hurting people."

"He had been for a long time," Sakura whispers.

You look back up to her. "Sakura?"

Sakura shakes her head once more. "He needed to die Shirou, I'm sorry that… it was you that had to do it."

Wonder what would happen if he finds out what Sakura has been throught. Good that she does accept what Shirou has done, even if part of her is hurt that it happened at all.

"Shirou, Assassin told me to do something if I got the chance?"

"Yeah?" you reply, "and are you feeling better?"

Sakura nods. "I'll be fine Shirou," she then draws in a breath, steeling herself. Then she launches herself forwards, her arms wrapping around your neck, pulling you against her as she slams her lips against yours.

Yeah, Mata Hari has some explaining to do, to be honest.

A loud click sounds out as your teeth hit hers, and as her head hits yours a split second after that you feel a bright spark of pain. Sakura squeals, then scrambles over you, skipping out of the room with a fading call of… you believe she said she was heading to the bath. It was rather hard to tell.

LOL. Sakura is currently in the bath, blushing furiously, hands on her face, muttering to herself that she has just done what is possibly the most embarrassing thing she has ever done in her life. While also blaming herself from letting her emotions get to her and ruining the moment.

Though, oddly. As you attempted to call Ayako after your bath and check up on her… she didn't answer.

Worrying.

So, this could be something that could mean a lot of things. Most likely she is very busy keeping Ruby in check, hopefully.

The winners of the votes are pretty clear by this point, but I would want to make hypothesis on how the interactions could go.

[Fujimaru and Mash]: As it says in the preview, they will talk with Shirou about how to get the Grail and their plans to do so. Something very important to do. Maybe also getting a thank you for helping them reunite if they hadn't done so already.

[Raiga]: I'm not sure, maybe he will talk with Shirou about the aftermath of saving the monks. Maybe he gets some nice words from him.

[Archer]: As it says, Shirou will ask him about the motives of his actions. Likely Archer will tell him an answer in a roundabout way or just point out Sakura's mental state. Most likely he would give his approval to Shirou's actions of the day before. There is also a possibility that, since Circe told him about Archer's magic beeing similar to his own, Shirou would ask about tips for his magic.

[Medea]: I think this will be some sort of talk about the events from the day before and other topics, like plans to how to survive the war. Maybe by this point Medea would notice what Shirou did with Circe, and that will be funny.

[Circe]: Shirou would most likely encounter her as she is regrowing her arm, and have some small talk with Circe giving jabs at Shirou's performance and how happy he made her while giving some more encouragement.

[Mordred]: She is his real Servant, and seeing her in such state is worrisome. Shirou will try to make conversation if Mordred is not currently crying around a pool of her own blood. Most likely he will not get much of a response either way.

Vote locked.

Time to try with Mordred again I see.

the Fujimaru's are the most interesting family in Fuyuki by a mile.
I'm depressed as fuck, have a vote.
Wish I could do more to help than send hugs, but just know a lot of people appreciate you and admire your ability to consistently write quality characterization in spite of the difficulties represented by introducing so much extra to the setting. Your a real inspiration, so just thank you for being you.
