Chapter 1

【Warning: Please read the protagonist's name in the introduction carefully, it is Emiya Shirou. Don't leave comments in the main text like ‘?’ ‘Out of character’ ‘Author, you can't think of a good name’ or anything like that, it will give us both a headache, okay?】

【"Do you know? It's said that the speed is five centimeters per second."

"Huh? What..."

"The speed at which cherry blossoms fall is five centimeters per second."】

Inside the spacious and bright café.

After flipping through the first page and reading the opening lines, Far坂 Rin, wearing a red coat and with her hair in twin tails, slowly put down the script and asked Emiya Shirou, who was in front of her, with a complicated expression: "Have you made up your mind? Are you really going to be a director?"

"Isn't this something I decided back in third grade?"

Emiya Shirou responded quickly with a matter-of-fact tone.

Far坂 Rin rolled her eyes: "I thought you were just joking back then. Besides, how can anyone take something from third grade seriously now?"

"I remember that too."

Sitting next to Emiya Shirou, with his blue seaweed-like hair, Matou Shinji crossed his legs and recalled: "Back then, the teacher asked us to go up one by one and say our dreams. Most people's dreams were to be scientists, celebrities, or other glamorous roles.

When Emiya went up, he suddenly said he wanted to be a director, and not just any director, but the most famous one in Japan, and even the world.

But to be honest, I didn't even know what a director was back then. It was just the strange words Emiya used, like 'fate' and 'dimensions,' that left a deep impression on me, so I still remember it clearly."

"Nii-san, that sounds interesting."

The voice was very gentle.

Matou Shinji turned his head mechanically to look at the girl sitting across from him, wearing a pure white coat and smiling.

"Sakura, I..."

His memory went back a long time ago.

Back then, little Sakura wasn't as terrifying as she is now, and as her older brother, he could occasionally bully her like a normal person.

But then, because of something a man said to Sakura, everything changed.

After that, with her grandfather's help, Sakura enrolled in various classes like kickboxing and kendo.

Matou Shinji couldn't bear to recall what happened after that.

But the root of everything was the man sitting next to him.

Without him, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

"Shinji, what's wrong?"

Emiya Shirou turned around and saw Shinji glaring at him, his face full of confusion.

*Stare*

There's a killing aura!

"I'm fine, completely fine!"

Matou Shinji's face instantly broke into a smile he had never shown before.

Emiya Shirou shook his head, ignoring the inexplicably silly Shinji, and asked the other two: "How is the script?"

"The speed at which cherry blossoms fall, it's a great perspective. Senpai is truly a genius!"

Matou Sakura flipped through the script, lavishing praise without hesitation.

*Hmph!*

In your heart, anything 'Senpai' does is the best, right?

Matou Shinji inwardly scoffed, but at the same time, he started flipping through the script in his hand.

Hmm, this script is actually pretty good...

The Matou siblings gradually immersed themselves in the world of the script.

"Emiya-kun, you didn't call us out today just to have coffee, eat a meal, and casually comment on the script you created, right?"

Far坂 Rin, without looking up from the script, asked.

Emiya Shirou smiled: "Of course not. Actually, I want you all to join my production team."

"No."

Far坂 Rin refused without hesitation.

"Let's not even talk about other things. Just the fact that you, a soon-to-be graduate from the music department of an art university, are going to be a director, is absurd. So, I must decline."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have a good relationship with a few film professors, and they've taught me a lot. I can guarantee that my skills are up to par."

If I remember correctly, the film program at the art university is a master's course...

Far坂 Rin slightly raised her head and scrutinized the boy she had been chasing since childhood.

Despite his occasional nonsensical remarks, one thing was undeniable.

Emiya Shirou was a genius.

Although Emiya always emphasized that he just had a good memory and the ability to remember things easily, which he considered a trivial talent.

But looking back on his entire student life, there was nothing he set his mind to that he failed to achieve.

With his abilities, he would be a standout in any field.

Take his current major, for example.

Far坂 Rin discovered by chance that the most famous mysterious composer of the past year, 'Mizukaze Koushi,' was actually Emiya's pseudonym.

Given his personality, there were probably many more pseudonyms he used in secret. If they were all revealed, no one would believe that they all belonged to a young man who had just turned twenty-one.

"Senpai, I want to join, is that okay?"

The silent Matou Sakura spoke up.

"I remember you're in your third year, right? As long as it doesn't affect your studies, there's no problem."

"Great!"

Matou Sakura smiled gently and turned to persuade: "Far坂-senpai, how about joining us? After university, the four of us haven't worked together on anything for a long time."

Matou Sakura played the emotional card.

Before Far坂 Rin could respond, Matou Shinji jumped in: "Um... I'm quite busy these days, so I don't need to join, right?"

"Nii-san, I remember a few days ago when you came home, you asked if I was too idle recently."

Matou Sakura's smile turned cold: "Don't be too lazy."

*Nani?!*

When did I ever say I was too idle? That's all made up!

Faced with Matou Sakura's threat, Matou Shinji could no longer tolerate it.

Among the four of them, three were students at the art university, and he was the only one who wasn't.

To escape his sister's shadow, he had spent a lot of effort.

If he joined the same production team, he could imagine what would happen in the future.

"Nii-san, what do you think?"

"Cough... No problem, these days have been a bit idle. It's a good opportunity to train myself in Emiya's production team."

Matou Shinji said with a righteous tone.

Far坂 Rin shook her head helplessly and flipped to the last page of the script.

It was the theme song for the movie "Five Centimeters per Second."

"I want to hear you sing this song."

Far坂 Rin suddenly said.

Emiya Shirou was taken aback, then laughed: "Sure, I was planning to sing it myself."

"No, I want to hear it now."

Far坂 Rin's beautiful blue eyes sparkled.

"But this is a café."

Emiya Shirou was a bit troubled, not quite understanding what the young lady was thinking.

Sigh, you can't guess a woman's mind, that's true.

"Senpai, there's a piano and a guitar over there, and they're free to use, apparently."

Matou Sakura suddenly pointed to a corner of the café.

What's with this sudden support?

Emiya Shirou watched as Far坂 Rin and Matou Sakura exchanged smiles, and finally replied helplessly: "Well, okay..."

New book launch, seeing how pitiful the author is, why not give a little support with a favorite and a recommendation? It's not much trouble, just a click. ( *^_^* )
