Fate/Gamer Alternative

Chapter 4

Even though it's not something a young boy will notice, Sakura has been eyeing me a lot nowadays.

In the hallway of my bedroom. On the street I walk. Even at school I could feel her gaze lingering on me. It is ike a persistent presence, only vanishing when I directly acknowledge it

I looked behind me. There was no one there. Right now I'm standing alone in my room, and yet the feeling of being observed had yet to go away

Heaving a sigh, I continued with my workout

I understand from experience kids are bound to take interest in everything they deem abnormal. No doubt my recent stunt at school renewed her interest in a Shinji with erratic behavior.

How do I deal with this problem?

It's best if I leave this matter for now. Knowing how normal kids behave, her interest in me will soon be gone. In the mean time, I have better things to worry about than my sister's erratic behavior

"four hundred ninety eight"

"Four hundred ninety nine"

"Five hundred. Heck yeah" I rolled to my back and let out a silent, breathless cheer

- Complete 500 pushups in one day (+5 points)/ Claimed (New)

That's the total reached for today. Fifty set for 10 pushups each set. Strength and dexterity is not a prequesite to this exercise. I merely use it to increase my stamine

My training has been going well so far. With [Pain Resistance] and [Fitness] aiding with intensive physical workouts, my statistics have gain a noticeable improvement over the last few weeks.

The downside is that my family has started to wonder if I truly am the Shinji from before with all the pointless (in their view) exercising I did

I may be stupid, but I'm not stupid enough to know what happens when a self-insert doesn't cover his track well

The following days, I decided to distance myself from my sister, and to an extent Matou Zouken, who has begun to take notice of me the very day I came home from school

"Where are you going, Shinji?"

"I'm going outside, duh"

"I can see that. And what are you intending to do outside?"

"Uh..." I turned away from the bastard's scrutinizing eye "Taking a walk, visiting a friend, having some fresh air, or something like that...." I suppressed a wince and glance away from him

Good job Shinji. A spectacular lie like that wouldn't fool even the stupidest of kids

[Devil's Tongue] has been activated

Except it did?

The notification popped up just as my grandfather nodded. He returned back inside the house, leaving me alone at the doorstep. Slowly, I put on my shoes, before running out of the house as fast as I caan

...

Fucking hell. Does this thing turn everything I said into a nat20?

Just a bit closer to heaven, baby

______________

Speaking of being closer to heaven, there's a certain priest I need to take care of to ensure Canon's smooth sailing

I should kill him before he can become a threat. Or at least, more than a threat he already is

Drenched in sweat, I sat on the bench on the park, the patch of land shaded by the tree above me. As I finished my workout, thoughts about my future started plaguing my head, leading to a contemplative bout about what to do at the present
