chapter 4) day to day life

Ever since finding a job, Emiya has mostly spent his days for the past 2 weeks doing the same things over and over in a loop. In the morning he would wake up at 7am take a morning jog till 8.30am. Have breakfast, wash up and prepare for work, by 10.20am reach workplace and prepare for work. Work from 11am till 5pm, then return home rest till 6.30 and have dinner, wash up. By 7pm, work out till 8pm then from 8pm till 11pm, practice his projection magic to a greater degree.

This has been the schedual of Emiya for the past 2 weeks ever since he arrived here and due to this schedual, by the first week, his fat body had become normal. It had changed drastically as if magic had worked on him. At first when miss Amami met him after his change, she mistook him as a stranger but only when Emiya told her who he was, it shocked her greatly.

'What in the world happened to this fat otaku to the point of such changes. Did he get abducted by aliens and got experimented on?' This were the thoughts Emiya could tell that she was thinking just by looking at her face when she saw the sheer change that occured to him.

The same idea went through Miss Yuuna's mind when she saw his transformation, although not as badly as miss Amami whom knew Emiya beforehand as a useless otaku.

By the second week his body got even more changes as his slim body started to get more buff. He looked like the perfect male teenager, a body with the perfect muscle proportions. A face that females would like to enshrine, silver hair and crimson red eyes.

But the most funny part was that whenever Emiya used his magic circuits to project weapons, he realised that his body would change into the looks and physical body when he was a counter-guardian. However he would not have any changes when just using normal physical enhancement magic. This was very weird as he did not even know what was going on to ensure such changes. But when he stops using his magic, he would revert back to his present physical appearence.

In the end Emiya no longer thought much about this phenomenon as there would be many factors he would have to think of and a rather big of a hasstle. However something Emiya felt happy about was that he had already opened about 80% of his magical circuits and was now capable of releasing his reality marble 'UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS.'

This was a cause for Emiya to have a quick celebration as it represented that he could now fully use his projection magic to the fullest potential, ensuring his survival in this world and him being a powerhouse. Hence rewarding himself by buying slightly more expensive cooking materials for a better traditional 'Japanese' styled meal.

Due to his current financial disability, he was forced to only sustain himself with rice, miso soup and one or two kinds of vegtable dishes. But now that he was in the mood for celebration, he used the salary he earned that day to purchase for himself some salmon.

'After so many years i can finally have a nice decent meal.' Looking at the food in front of him, this reminded him that during the time as a counter guardian, Emiya did not even eat anything whatsoever. His only job was to kill and massacare people where Alaya wanted him to kill. He never did have much time to think of having to eat during that period hence slowly but surely forgetting about his needs to eat.

To him this was something worth remembering as it made him slowly but surely remember the time he was alive. It made him remember the joys in life that he could never have after he made the contract. Things so simple such as having a simple and nice meal, or just laughing with his friends. These were things that he took for granted and never looked back to, oh how foolish he was back then with his massive ego blinding him.

"Itadakimasu..." After saying his thanks for the meal, he immediately used his chopsticks to take up a piece of fish. Glittering in his hands, he slowly placed it in his mouth. Upon entering his mouth, a burst of flavour burst inside his mouth assulting his taste buds with the juiciness and mouthwatering flavour of the fish. It tasted neither too fishy or too blend, perfectly seasoned and fresh it tasted nearly perfect.

'Damn this is nearly making me cry.' As Emiya was savouring the fish, he started to tear up as this made him regret his foolishness back then and should have instead enjoyed the simple things he had before.

However he did not cry but instead proceeded to slowly enjoy his meal, reminiscing about the past. Thinking about when he was enjoying a simple meal with Fuji-nee and Sakura...

As the night slowly passed, he slowly started feeling more guilty of his past. Of not checking up on those who cared for him.... Fuji-nee, Sakura, Tohsaka, Issei and the women he loved.....Saber.... They cared dearly for him.... but all he had was his ego....

Without much notice, he started to truly tear up, crying to himself for being such an asshole.

As he passed the night, he swore deep within his heart, he swore to one day return to those whom cared for him. He swore never to repeat his past foolishness and to henceforth.... live his new life to the fullest and never...never repeat the mistakes he made in his past life.... To protect those he love.....and.....to treasure them....

...

Without knowing it, Emiya had cried himself to sleep, forgetting to clean up he looked at the table with unwashed dishes.

Looking at it, he remembered what he said last night.

Clenching his fists, he truly swore that he would uphold what he said that night.
