...the real joke is that Illyasviel von Einzbern has her birthday listed as November 20th on the fandom wiki, making her 18 during the events of FSN (yes, she is older than Rin).
Ilya: "I swear officer, I'm eighteen!"
Cop: "And I'm a hero of justice."

It's Shirou who is 17. Shipping him with anyone is strictly prohibited on pain of Tiger Dojo visit. Big Sister did say no funny business!
Shirou's the magical eroge age of "shut up, don't think about it." :V

And so, Shirou proceeded to spend 75% of the Holy Grail War as a piglet.
He seems to have zero issues with that from what we have seen. I fully suspect that he's going to be a lap pig every time he visits Circe from now until the afterlife and that is... just kind of okay. Its probably the easiest way to circumvent jealousy issues with Ayako, honestly, though she will want a chance to hold the piggy as well.

Though I'm also imagining a piggy wielding a two handed blade in its teeth before this is all over.
Being fair to Mamamiya, he's being surprisingly cordial to Shirou so far.
Shirou is going way out in left field here. He's appreciating people as people rather than an ideal or abstraction, he's entered a (comparatively) normal relationship with a girl who can actually keep up with him, and if he sells himself to anything for a moment's power its going to be the daughter of the sun and not the Counterforce. All-caps Emiya doesn't have to do jack shit here and he knows it.

The Shirou he wanted dead is already dead.

[Ayako has chased you down, again.]
It's going to take much in the way of bribery to calm her down. You did skip school again after all.

Thanks to @Armoury for the beta!



You were back in your bedroom, 'studying', that was what you were going to call it, yes. It involved you sort-of propped against the bedrest of the bed that remained far too large. With the book in your lap, angled so that you don't have to look down to see it, and so that with effort you could slide the pages with the oven mitts that made up your hands at the moment. You had spent a good deal of time studying with Sakura, the girl as friendly as she ever was. Then you had separated to continue studying on your own.

Which you were doing.

Incredibly effectively.

Your eyes narrow as a particularly stubborn page refuses to turn. You press the bandage against it, wiggling as best you can to no avail. Then, just as you finally started to get it to turn-

*SLAM*

You don't turn your head as the door slides open with a slam, no, you focus on the page that slipped away as your hand jerked. Causing it to fall back against its previous partner and adhere once more like it was glued. You stare at a moment longer, then turn your head annoyed towards the entran-

Ayako was standing in the doorway, and she appeared aggrieved. One eye was twitching, her clothes, her uniform you note, was slightly disheveled as if she had sprinted across town with it, and she was covered in a fine sheet of sweat… You could guess what this was about. Namely that you missed school, again. A rather annoying habit on your part, it seemed that the world of Magi had seen fit that you were allowed neither groceries nor education.

Ayako, for her part, crossed the room without a word before stopping at the edge of the bed. She opens her mouth to say something, then stops as her eyes move down to look at your bandaged hands. It was far from the only bandages on your body, but they were the most immediately obvious. And she takes her time to look over the rest before she looks you in the eyes again, this time the agitation gone, instead replaced by raw worry. "Shirou? What happened?

… You couldn't exactly say you summoned a magical bow and arrow that saw fit to turn your fingers into yakitori, you don't say something for several seconds, thinking. But Ayako speaks again before you can formulate.

"Shirou, your house is in ruins, Sakura's house burned down. You're living with the Yakuza, and you are surrounded by strange people. Tell me the truth, please."

You let out a breath.

Kiritsugu made it very clear that to reveal oneself as a magus was dangerous. To reveal oneself as a magus to a non-magus was dangerous and pointless. But… she was your girlfriend, and beyond that, your friend in general.



But you told Taiga because she was taking you in. And Sakura because she was panicked. Ayako would only be put in danger. To another Magus… one knowing about that world is nothing but a loose end to be pulled.

Is it right to put her in that danger?


[] [Reveal yourself as a Magus]
This will put Ayako in danger. But it may ease her mind, well, it'll certainly confuse her. But it would also help explain some things to her.

[] [Lie]
You have to keep her out of danger, even at the risk of your relationship.



Sorry for the short chapter, I'm still sick.

This is step 1 of plan 'Get Medea and Ayako to team up to deal with Shirou being an idiot' : P

C'mon, just dab it in a bit of water so it's a bit moist, it'll work fine!

Gee, I wonder why?

The world is actively attempting to prevent Shirou's harem from growing. It appears to be failing.

"Shirou, your house is in ruins, Sakura's house burned down. You're living with the Yakuza, and you are surrounded by strange people. Tell me the truth, please."

Oh man, no mention of the church outside town exploding? Damn Kirei works fast!

This is the road that leads to magical girl Ayako with the power of two witches behind her. Let's goooo. Plus, I mean, the local magi that would care aren't inclined towards violence against Ayako.

With how things have gone so far, a few extra people knowing about magic is of zero consequence. Hell, her brother was attacked and he was both uninformed and uninvolved. Knowing or not knowing doesn't make a difference anymore.
