There are no reasons for bushes to be talking, especially if it is in the middle of the road on a hot summer day. In that kind of weather, the heat will simply kill any desire for conversation

That is the situation I found myself in. I am now a bush, with green leaves and green camo and nothing my hand. If anyone ask, I am just a an ususpecting bush

A very frustrated bush that has been loitering underneath the sun for the past godd damn hour

"Hey, tell me again why we are standing out here catching wind" I said, annoyed "Do you suddenly fancy yourself entitled to my free time, huh?"

"Don't be so impatient, Shinji. It is you who want to meet the main character of the show just several days ago. Now we finally got the chance"

Gil said, sipping on a cup of milk tea. 

He wears a gold-colored summer blazer with black shades covering his eyes, and a cap worn backward. Golden chains covered his neck, attached with a "$" at the end

The look practically screams "Yo what's up Jake Paulers!" to everyone with an eye to see

As for me, my outfit is more humble, consisting of a sleeveless white shirt and a straw hat. I wear rubber sandals on my foot and is holding a pair of binoculars in my hand, observing the scenery

Oh, and I'm also dressed inside a bush. 

What am I doing, standing here on the roadside disguised as a simple piece of greenery? That's a very good question

in short, it is for stalking people

Summer came, school is over. Everything returned to normal back from the previous years. I said this, but not that the pervious year is eventful in itself

What's with me killing my own grandfather for some game points and level up some time, there's nothing of much note

I came off track. Let's start again

Summer came, and I finally have enough time to do what I've planned to do ever since then

Contact Emiya Shirou and befriend him before Canon

I shifted in my spot, lowering myself ot a crouch so as to leave my silhouette unseen from a safe distance. 

The target is usually home at this hour. However, minutes passed, and as I observe from my hiding place, still no changes took place on the outside

"Are you sure we're really at his house?"

"Of course" Gil didn't bat an eye. He slowly finish the rest of the milk tea, sucking the last of them from the ice underneath. I twitch at the noise

For the last few days, we've spent time trying to come up with Shirou's routine in the summer.

When I wasn't at the Tohsaka manor, I was on the street, carefully stalking the Seigi no Mikata himself as he goes on his daily life

First he will go to the market at seven in the morning. He return by eight with the grocery. After that, the redhead goes to his shed and stay there until eleven or later, possibly until the evening

Other boys would say he's doing something illegal in there, and I would agree. Practicing Magecraft without supervision is just dangerous

My plan to befriend Shirou come down to two part

Step 1: Ambush him at his house

Step 2: Ask to be his friend

Step 3: Profit
