[Today, there are spiders.

THERE ARE SPIDERS EVERYWHERE.

Maybe they are on your walls. Maybe they are on your face! Or in your hair, or in your food . . . !]

[I'M GOING TO BEAT UP ALL THESE SPIDERS FOR JUSTICE

ALSO I'M GOING TO USE SWORDS TO DO IT BECAUSE

SWORDS]

[....you know what this seems like something worth standing and watching]

[Shirou is surprisingly good at this! The truth is that she is used to killing spiders, because of the Ilya-Rin-Sakura-Shirou group, she has been named the designated killer of spiders and other unwanted insects.]

[but with swords tho]

[YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH]

[but how are you a thing

he just wants to know how this actually works]

[She's just like cutting them in half with the swords and then also sometimes just smacking them with the flat of the blade and

it's actually

kind of impressive in a sad way]

[just casually brushes a spider off his shoulder]

You're very enthusiastic.

[Nods! Yes. This is something to be enthusiastic about.]

Ilya really hates spiders, so I've gotten good at killing them.

I see. Your method is a bit strange.

Ah... well, it's good training to do it this way, so.

Is it? I'm afraid I never took up physical combat skills.

[because he's a dumb nerd]

Really...?

I guess Tohsaka -- er, Rin. I guess Rin learned from Kotomine, right?

[froooowns]

...Most likely. But it was something our predecessors were interested in as well.

Oh. Well, it's a good thing to learn... Toh-- Rin was really good. I mean, she was a lot better at hand to hand combat than me. It got her out of a lot of bad situations.

She's a very strong girl.

[thinking of her is making him sad though. BUT he's too elegant to show it with anything but a slight softening of his voice.]

Yeah. I guess since you're her dad, you're probably a really amazing magus too, right?

Amazing?

[wow that's. kind of a kick in the feelings.]

...That depends on your perspective, I suppose.

[Shirou is more or less oblivious to this. She is mostly just reminiscing about how totally cool and badass Rin is.]

Rin's probably the strongest magus I've ever met, and Sakura's really strong too.

They're both quite special, aren't they?
