出会いの日

[Ichihime] Nyaa! That stupid rabbit dumped all the planning stuff on me! Why's there so much annoying paperwork, nyaa...
[Ichihime] Cut me some slack! Can't organizing a competition be as simple as eating, nyaa?
[???] Sorry, I messed up. I didn't expect things to turn out like this...
[???] No, Saber, you didn't do anything wrong... But what we should do now...
[Ichihime] I wonder if there's any way to just bypass all this red tape... Nyaa?!
[???] Ah!
[???] Who's there?!
[Ichihime] Geez! Where are you looking, nyaa... Huh? Are you visitors from another city, nyaa?
[???] ...How did you know that we're outsiders?
[Ichihime] I only said that because I don't recognize your uniform. Anyway, welcome to One Han City!
[???] Excuse me... are you a local here?
[Ichihime] Nyaa? Well, it's true that I've lived here for a long time... Oh, you can just call me by my name – I'm Ichihime, nyaa.
[Sakura Matou] I'm Sakura Matou, a student at Homurahara Academy.
[Ichihime] Hmm, I don't know that school. You must be from a very far place, nyaa.
[Sakura Matou] This might seem a bit random, but can I ask you something... What would you do if you encountered a kidnapping situation?
[Ichihime] What, nyaa?! A kidnapping?!
[Ichihime] How did it go, nyaa? Did the police confirm it's a kidnapping case?
[???] Thank you for the reminder. I didn't think of going to the police at all.
[Ichihime] Um, who are you?
[Saber] Please call me Saber. I am... a companion of sorts to Sakura and the people around her.
[Sakura Matou] ...
[Saber] Just relax, Sakura. I'll know if anything happens to Shirou.
[Sakura Matou] Well... I guess you're right. Thank you, Saber.
[Ichihime] I'm getting more confused the more I listen. What's actually going on, nyaa?
[Sakura Matou] I'm sorry. I ended up having you come along to the police station without giving you a proper explanation...
[Sakura Matou] Saber, my senpai, and I came to this city to do something.
[Ichihime] Who's this "senpai" you mentioned, nyaa?
[Sakura Matou] His name is Shirou Emiya, and we go to the same school.
[Ichihime] Since you've come all the way to One Han City, are you members of your school's mahjong club, nyaa?
[Sakura Matou] No, I'm in the archery club... Why would you think I'm in the mahjong club?
[Ichihime] Because nine out of ten people who travel here do so because of mahjong, nyaa!
[Saber] I've heard that the game of mahjong is big in this city, but I never thought it would be that popular.
[Sakura Matou] We were just checking out the area after we arrived, and out of nowhere, a bunch of strangers closed in on us.
[Ichihime] Strangers?
[Sakura Matou] Yes, we didn't know any of them. They almost managed to drag me onto their vehicle, and senpai was trying to protect me...
[Sakura Matou] They just went and took him away instead.
[Saber] Shirou is in danger because we split up. I was too careless.
[Sakura Matou] It's not your fault. I never imagined that something like this would happen...
[Ichihime] Yeah, based on what I've heard, it's definitely not on you, nyaa.
[Sakura Matou] I was in a panic at the time, and then you appeared, Miss Ichihime. Thank you for taking us to the police.
[Ichihime] Speaking of which, I can't forgive those criminals! What if they scare all the tourists away from One Han City, nyaa?!
[Saber] The police said they would investigate the kidnapping... Sakura, what do you have in mind?
[Sakura Matou] ...Although the police are helping us, I can't just sit around while senpai is in danger.
[Saber] You're right. We also need to do our best to find clues ourselves.
[Ichihime] In that case, I'll help too, nyaa!
[Saber] ...You're willing to help us, Miss Ichihime?
[Ichihime] Searching for a person in a place you don't know is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I can definitely help you since I'm a local, nyaa!
[Sakura Matou] Are you sure it'll be okay...? I have no idea what will happen. It might even end up causing you more trouble...
[Ichihime] Don't you worry about it! I'm doing this for One Han City's reputation, nyaa!
[Sakura Matou] Th-That would be great...! Thank you so much...!
