[TAGS: Emiya(Protagonist), Harem, System, Comedy, Relaxing, Slow-Burn.] SYNOPSIS: Standing at the convenience store entrance for ten minutes, Shirou finally figured out how the Hosting System worked: choose a goal, enter a hosted state, and the system would complete it for him. Simple and perfect. Without hesitation, he selected, “Clear the Holy Grail War and let Miyu obtain happiness.” ["Ding~ This task cannot be completed."] Shirou was stunned. Sure, he hadn’t even learned magecraft and might be worse than the original Emiya, but wasn’t that a bit harsh? [Note: There is no Holy Grail War in this world.] ‘No Holy Grail War? In Fuyuki City? While I’m Shirou?’ Still confused, he tried again, “Learn Projection Magecraft.” ["This task cannot be completed."] “Learn Reinforcement Magecraft.” ["This task cannot be completed."] “…Third Magic?” ["This task…"] “…Just give me money already?” ["Would you like to enter hosting with the goal of earning money?"] Yes. Absolutely. His body moved on its own. Shirou was optimistic, until he noticed his elbow was raised, about to smash the convenience store’s glass window. Panicking, he canceled hosting on the spot. "System! Explain!" ["Robbery is one of the fastest ways to make money."] “You don’t know that’s illegal?” ["Would you like to load task: All activities must follow basic laws and regulations?"] Shirou selected “Yes.” ["Task confirmed. From now on, the Hosting System will strictly abide by laws. Host, please do not drag down the system."] “…I should be the one saying that,” Shirou muttered, taking a deep breath. He selected “Continue earning money.” His body went into a runner’s stance, and sprinted home. Then System Shirou picked up the phone by the bed and dialed Taiga. It rang. Taiga answered, annoyed, ["Shirou! Do you know what time it is now?"] And then, like ice, “Fuji-nee, I don’t want to work hard anymore. Please marry me and sponsor—” ‘STOP!!!’, Shirou immediately panicked. 'What kind of messed-up system is this?' ["Hosting Task: Earning Money. According to analysis, under the law, marrying the daughter of the largest underworld group in Fuyuki, Taiga, is the fastest path to wealth."] [Note: Probability of success is 99.9%.] ‘What about the 0.1%?’ ["No matter how confident you are, before success, you must prepare for the possibility of failure."] Shirou wanted to cry. ——— [Schedule: 2 Chapters/Day] [T/N: Story takes pace from Chapter 20] ═❀═Its A Translation═❀═ RAW: 命运：主持人阿米娅

Jason sank to his knees as smoke swallowed the sky, the color of it an angry crimson, like the world itself was bleeding. The house before him, her house, collapsed in slow motion, boards shrieking and crumbling as if mourning their own destruction. His chest caved with a ragged sob, the kind that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than his lungs, deeper even than his body. Everything around him blurred—faces, sirens, flames—until all that remained was the ash. He should have looked away. Should have closed his eyes. But he didn't. He couldn't. The paramedics moved solemnly through the smoke, their silhouettes stark against the firelit haze. The stretchers were draped in white sheets—too still, too final. He counted them without meaning to. One... two... three. Jason didn't flinch. His heart was hollowed out, like something had been carved from within him with a hot blade. It should've been him. Not Selena. "No," he whispered hoarsely, his voice splintering. "No, it can't be." He stumbled backward, eyes wide, brain refusing to bridge the gap between what he saw and what he believed. Reality came in slow waves, each one more unbearable than the last. And then he was moving, sprinting toward the stretchers with a desperate, raw urgency. A rescuer with no one left to save. "Selena," he choked, reaching trembling hands toward the nearest form. The heat of the fire still lingered in the air, as if the world itself was scorched. He lifted the sheet with shaking fingers. What stared back at him was no longer her face—just blackened skin, unrecognizable. His mind rejected it. It can't be her. It isn't.
