If you were more diligent, it wouldn't take that long.

[Unreasonable standards!]

[springful]

I'll keep that in mind for the next time I want to show my diligence regarding the phone. [i.e. ne.....ver...........]

[swordboning]

I'm sure. [Yeah, he's totally not into it.] I'm taking Shirou for a while. I don't expect any complaints from you.

[springful]

[WHOA THERE MAN, you can't expect to do something involving Shirou without Sakura worrying about it!!]

What do you need Senpai for?

[swordboning]

Training, as usual. He can't continue to be useless. Not while things progress as they are.

[springful]

... Asking you to take care that he isn't too hurt is impossible, right?

[swordboning]

How much he gets hurt is up to him, not me.

[springful]

[HEAVY SIGHING] Asking that of him is also impossible with how reckless he is...

[swordboning]

Whatever problem you have with it isn't my problem. You'll have to reconcile that with him.

[springful]

I know that. Has he made progress, at least?

[swordboning]

Not in a way I'd like. So I've decided to take advantage of a magical phenomenon.

[springful]

A magical phenomenon? What is it? [This sounds dangerous already tbh UNSURE.]

[swordboning]

It's one that simply equates by learning through experience from your older self. Rather than working through that experience, it is simply acquired.

[springful]

... Will that hurt him? [That sounds like what happened when Shirou used Archer's arm, but he was definitely pushing himself to use it like that back then.]

[swordboning]

If he acts like an idiot about it, I won't guarantee a thing.

[springful]

But you think he's always acting like an idiot regardless. [ARCHER NEVER HAS ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT SHIROU!!]

[swordboning]

Whatever happens is up to him.

[springful]

Somehow, I had a feeling you'd say that... [A classic Archer response tbh.] But thank you for letting me know ahead of time at least. I appreciate it.
