He already had a new phone but he was not going to throw away the gift so he donated his 'old one' and just accepted that it was part of the pact.
"By the way, you don't need to make lunch for me today." Shirou's brain stopped at that comment.
"Wait, what? Liz you don't need take outs, I can-"
"I got a job." The smile on her face was full of pride.
"Oh… I didn't know you were looking for one." Shirou commented.
"Yes. I can't just stay here alone since you are going to be out. It will be boring." He can't disagree with her there.
Breakfast was mostly a silent affair but Shirou was happy for Liz, she refused to divulge the details saying that she would tell him after her first day and if she would stay on the job. Shirou decided to just shrug and accept her choice.
Since Liz was going to her own job Shirou decided to make a bento for her too, he was all for it. From their time without their older sibling Shirou knew that Liz was getting antsy. They had some games and she could help him with sparring but that could only do so much.
Thinking about sparring made him think about the kendo club. 'At least now I don't need to explain he was leaving.' He just hopes that Rias has come through and got a job for his sensei and everyone else… Is the tiger on Kuoh now? 'Oh god I will have that conversation anyway.'
"Shirou." Liz snaps him out of preparing the bentos. "You need to start to get ready. You are going to be late."
Looking at the clock on the wall he notices she was right. Time flew by him and he barely noticed. "Thanks I will go get ready."
"I will take you to school today so don't worry too much." Unlike when his mother made the offer on the last day of his previous school Shirou just smiled and said.
"Sure."
In his room he starts to get ready and once he is done he stands in front of a full body mirror. His new uniform was neatly on, the black blazer covering the button up shirt, matching black pants and a black ribbon tie. The brown shoes he got were a little tight but nothing he couldn't ignore.
All in all he was now ready to go until he felt someone messing with his hair. "You really should push it back, you know?" Liz was there and he turned around. She was dressed in jeans and a long sleeved shirt all button up, it was enough to cover- BAD THOUGHTS.
"And I always say that it would make me look like a douche." The woman shrugs and take out his tie. "Liz?"
"It doesn't suit you." She said while opening two buttons of his shirt exposing a black shirt. "Better."
He looks to himself again and sighs. It was not the uniform proper but it was good enough. Looking at it now he was almost dressed like he was going to Homurahara, the color was different but he could almost see his old uniform… he is going to miss his old school and that surprised him a bit.
Shirou picks a bag and goes with Liz to the car, they were going to use Iri's, she didn't mind.
The trip was a short and peaceful one, once they were close enough that they could see students Liz let him down. "Shirou," she calls for him, "good luck. I see you soon."
She left before he could say anything. 'Must be really excited for the job.' Shirou smiles, he is happy that she found something to do.
With that he marched to the gates of Kuoh, there were many students getting in and the security- Before he crossed the gates he smelled it.
There was a boundary field around the school, not only that it was a strong one with lots of different smells meaning it was made by different beings.
Rias' smell was mixed on it, and there were others too, none too unpleasant. The smell of fire burning the woods, the smell of salt water, the smell of a… something else, he can't identify the last one properly.
But all that made him sure of something else, there were more devils in Kuoh, every single one of those smells was similar to Rias' on that degree. Oh, there were other, weaker smells too but they were not the main ones tied to the barrier.
"Shirou?" He hears a familiar voice and turns around to see his friend, Ryuudo Issei. "You managed to join Kuoh too? I mean, of course you did."
"Issei, It's good to see you." The two friends shake hands.
"Did you hear what happened to Homurahara? To think there was such a risk of fire from a damaged gas pipe."
"I didn't know that was the reason." He almost can't believe that was the excuse they used.
"Anyway, I'm glad to see another familiar face around here. I saw some of our colleagues around but there were too many people, I couldn't reach them."
"I'm happy about it." And also afraid that many of the kendo club were here and he would have to say. 'Sorry but I'm leaving… or not joining?'
"Let's go, the opening ceremony is starting." Most openings are in gyms or halls but Kuoh have them in the open on a stage.
Up on it- 'IS THAT LIZ?' It took all of Shirou's self control to not scream then and there. On the stage was Leysritt, dressed in a tracksuit, around here were other people that must be teachers. He could see even Fujimura-sensei and Souichirou-sensei on the stage, the tiger looked a little nervous but still happy while the man… has the best poker face Shirou had ever seen.
The man looked inconspicuous with his square glasses and a blue suit but Shirou always felt… that he was too easy, almost as if he could do nothing that could surprise the guy. No one ever challenged the man in his classes either.
Soon the speech begins. Shirou can't help but think. 'This is going to be a weird year isn't it?'
