[Action]

[Shirou was out for a walk. He decided on a change of pace, so he began to walk through the upper-class district of Sirocco. He looked at all of the elegant houses as he walked, but then he turned a corner and stopped. Why? Because one of those buildings looked too familiar to him.

It was a large, Japanese-style house. The moment he entered the proximity, he could detect a bounded field surrounding the house.]

This...this is my house. But...what is it doing here?

[Shirou enters and looks around. Everything seems to be in place, where he remembers them. He walked into his room and sat down on the floor.]

This is weird...but at the same time it's also kind of nice. I feel at home here.

[After giving the house one last look-through, he leaves and heads back to the Ermis Suites. For the rest of the day, he can be seen carrying things from the Ermis Suites to his house, or from the shopping district to his house.]

Can you prove you aren't?

Can you prove I am?

That's hard to do when I have no idea what else you could possibly be.

Humans don't normally use magic, do they?

What are you talking about? I'm human, and I can use magic.

Can you prove you're human?

I didn't know that magic really existed until Kiritsugu adopted me. He didn't know whether or not I could do it, either. Why would either of those be true if only non-humans could perform magic?

You said adopted. That means he wasn't sure of your heritage.

That doesn't explain why I didn't know about it before that.

Maybe your race, er, our race of people kept it a secret!

From their own kids? That seems counterproductive.

You're counterproductive!

...That doesn't make sense.

I like you.

[ Now was as good as time as any. ]

Wha--

[That just short-circuited his brain. He hadn't been expecting something like that...]

You...like me?

Maybe they couldn't tell you until you were a certain age or something. Oh! I know, maybe it was a rite of passage when children matured enough.

[ She's just going to continue to talk as though she didn't say that a moment again. ]

Hey, wait a second! You can't just change the subject like that!

You're the one trying to change the subject. We were talking about humans and things that can use magic.

Yeah, but you changed the subject first, then changed it back while I was still trying to process the first change!

Oh.. that's right.

So where's this stupid house of yours that appeared out of nowhere?

That's not the subject I meant, either!

Shirou, can't you remain focused for once? We're discussing your house. That appeared here. That means there's a link back to our world and here!

I can focus on that after we get back to the subject I'm most focused on!

...Wait, what?

Idiot!

[ Here comes one TSUNDERE fist towards his face. ]

If your house from back home appeared here, then what's the most logical conclusion!?

WHOA!

[Good thing Shirou's reflexes are good! Unfortunately, they leave his coordination in the dust, and so he falls back on his ass.]

Geez, you didn't have to...!

Okay, okay, I get that!
