Fate DxD:Archer Reborn

Chapter 32: Chapter 30 - The Last Night



The intense training done by Shirou and the O.R.C members is almost over. They all aready have practiced for 8 days straight, and they intend to end their practice on the 9th day. And currently on the 8th night, Rias who cannot sleeping at all decided to devise a proper tactic, using the data about Raiser peerage member ability.

"You are not sleeping Rias-buchou," Shirou said when he was about to go to the toilet and saw Rias who was wearing a see-trough nightgown. Sat on the sofa while reading some paper.

"I can't sleep Emiya-kun," said Rias. "That's why I decided to work out a tactics that I will use against Raiser and his peerage."

"A tactic against that yellow-haired chicken?" Shirou said. "Have you got the right tactics Rias-buchou?"

"Honestly I don't have any tactics at all," said Rias while taking off the glasses she was wearing. "Even though I've tried to hard to find the right tactics."

"Rias-buchou, you're just feeling tense because you're about to fight your stupid fiancé, that's what made you can't sleep, and make you cannot find a right tactics," said Shirou. "Was Raiser really that strong, to the point making you so tense?"

"His winning record in the Rating Game is quite good," said Rias. "Plus Raiser as the descendant of the house of Phenex that have a terrifying regeneration ability, making him very hard to beat. Unfortunately even with all the training I did to increase my attack power at this training camp, I still wasn't sure if I could beat him. "

"I see, so you feel insecure about the regeneration ability of that chicken," said Shirou. "But didn't you say that you have a plan to defeat Raiser by utilizing the ability of the Boosted Gear? Why are you suddenly so lacking in confidence?"

"Aaaaah!" Rias said. "I totally forgot about that, because I thought too much of unnecessary things!"

"Ahahahaha Rias-buchou who always looks smart and elegant can be a forgetful person to, huh," said Shirou.

"Emiya-kun! Don't laugh at me like that!" Rias said with a red face. "Every living thing has a flaws! So it's only natural that I could forget too!"

"I'm sorry Rias-buchou," said Shirou. "But if I may guess, do you wish to utilize the transfer ability of the Boosted Gear to increase the ability of the power of destruction that you have."

"Your analysis is absolutely correct, Emiya-kun," said Rias. "You're right, I did intend to utilize the transfer ability of the Boosted Gear right after I saw you teach Issei how to use it. The transfer ability sure is useful

After the Boosted Gear increases the user's ability to a certain extent using the energy collected in the Boosted Gear, and the user can using transfer skill to send that energy into an object or person, and the object or person that receives Boosted Gear energy will receive a power increase! That thing will be the key to my victory againts Raiser! "

"Hmm, your idea is quite reasonable Rias-buchou," said Shirou. "But I have a hunch that simply increasing your ability using the energy of the Boosted Gear, won't be enough to defeat that chicken. I hate to say these things but I think that your destructive energy which is increased many times even will not be able to defeat Raiser who is much stronger and have much more experienced than you Rias-buchou. "

"T-then what should I do, if I can't beat Raiser then I have to marry Raiser! "said Rias shaking and crying." I don't want to marry Raiser who I not love! "

"Rias-buchou! Calm down a little!" Shirou said while pulling Rias body and hugging her. "You still have me, Akeno-fuku buchou, Kiba, Koneko-chan and Asia who will always help you! Even though I am just a temporary member of your peerage, there is no way I can just keep quiet seeing a girl suffering because she has to marry a man she doesn't love! I will protect you and I will help you defeat him Rias-buchou! So you don't have to worry. "

Rias really didn't expect that Shirou would hug her like that and say something that made her heart beat so fast. And everything Shirou did made her even more sure, that she really fell in love with a man named Emiya Shirou. Rias doesn't know since when she started liking Shirou, whether when she helped Shirou who was badly injured, or because of Shirou's unscrupulous nature and have a respect to a women, she didn't care about it at all. The most important thing for Rias is, she finally found the man of her dreams, who wants to protect her.

"You know Emiya-kun, your words were like a words from a prince who wanted to protect the girl he loved so much," said Rias while wiping the tears on her cheeks. "If someone else listens your words earlier and sees us hugging like this, misunderstandings might occur."

Shirou quickly released his hug towards Rias, he was completely unconscious. If he had done something romantic to Rias by mistake.

"I-I'm sorry Rias-buchou," said Shirou with a flushed face. "I-I really didn't mean to do anything rude to you, I was hugging you just to make you feel calmer that's all."

"It's not a problem for me Emiya-kun, I don't really mind when you hug me," said Rias with flushed cheeks. "Because you did it to make me feel better, and I'm glad you did."

Rias then approached Shirou and kissed him on the cheek. The kiss on the cheek from Rias certainly made Shirou surprised because Shirou did not expect that Rias would kiss him on the cheek.

"It's a gift from me, because you already make me feel good," said Rias with a flushed face while touching her lips with her right index finger.

Shirou's face became even redder because Rias kissed his cheek. Shirou was still in shock at that kiss from Rias.

'Ahahaha, you sure are a natural playboy, Archer,' said Zelretch. 'You can even subdue that little girl from the Gremory clan!'

"Shut up, Zelretch!" Shirou said. "Stop talking!'

'Well I won't talk again,' said Zelretch. 'But how do you handle Rin who is behind you while giving off a terrible aura?'

Just as Zelretch had said, Shirou could feel some eerie aura behind his body. Shirou slowly turned his body and sure enough, Rin was completely behind him.

"Oooh Emiya-kuun," Said Rin in a voice that sounded soft but scary. "Can you tell me why you kissed Gremory-san earlier?"

"T-tohsaka!" Said Shirou who was really scared when he saw Rin. "I-that was not kissing Rias-buchou, b-but Rias-buchou only kissing my cheeks."

"Ara really?" Rin said. "But just now, I saw from the window you kissed Gremory-san."

Rias is annoyed with Rin who suddenly appears and disturbs the romantic atmosphere she is experiencing with Shirou. Rias felt she couldn't let Rin bother herself and Shirou any more.

"Tohsaka-san!" said Rias. "What are you doing in my villa! Suddenly appearing and scaring Emiya-kun like that! And so what if I kissed him! Do you feel jealous because I kissed Emiya-kun!"

"At first I just went out of my room to drink," said Rin. "But when I saw from the window in the corridor the two of you were kissing, I guess I couldn't allow it! And yes, I felt jealous because you dared to touch something that belongs to me, Gremory-san!"

"Since when did Emiya-kun become yours Tohsaka-san," said Rias. "Emiya-kun is a valuable member of my peerage! That means he is mine!"

"Emiya-kun is only a temporary member of your peerage, Gremory-san!" Rin said. "So he is not yours! But I have known Emiya-kun for a long time! Even he has expressed his feelings to me, so Emiya-kun is mine! "(Based on one of the dreams that Rin had about Shirou expressing his love for Rin on the UBW route)

'It was technically the younger me who expressed her feelings for Rin when I was summoned to the Holy Grail War for the second time I was summoned, but my younger self is me too. It's not wrong either, if Rin said I already confessed my feelings to her, 'said Shirou. 'But how Rin, from this dimension, know about that? Was it from one of the dreams about the Holy Grail War that she had? Well, most likely! but I didn't expect that Rin had a dream about the Holy Grail War, right at the night I was reborn in this new world, I was really shocked when Rin told me about it. Is the bond between me and Rin so strong that something like that could happen? '

"E-Emiya-kun is that right?" Rias asked.

"Technically it's true," replied Shirou. "I do like Tohsaka, but we're not dating yet."

Rias's face looked annoyed, shocked, and sad at the same time. With tears trickling down her cheeks, Rias really couldn't accept it when she found out that Shirou the man she loved already had someone she liked. But Rias doesn't want to give up! Because for her, Shirou is the only man who will be her husband, and luckily Shirou isn't dating Rin yet, so Rias feels that she still has a chance. Rias wiped her tears and she said:

"I don't care, even if Emiya-kun confessed his feelings to you, Tohsaka-san," said Rias. "But because you are not dating him yet, I will fight for him and make Emiya-kun mine! Because I like him too! My love for him will not lose to your love for him! "

"Hooh so you are challenging me Gremory-san?" Rin said. "Okay I accept your challenge, but I will make sure that you can never take Emiya-kun from me! "

Seeing the hot atmosphere between Rin and Rias, Shirou could only touch his forehead. He knew that Rias had feelings for him from the way Rias had acted and talked to him all this time. But Shirou did not expect that Rias would confess her feelings and then challenge Rin to fight over him.

'Hahahahaha, like I said earlier, Archer,' said Zelretch. 'You are a natural playboy!'

"Damn my E rank luck!" Shouted Shirou.
