The Slums
Cherry Lover:
Shirou
Shirou sighed again, the girl's annoyance clear.
"Well, if that's the case, then what's the harm in adding a no-killing clause?" he replied. "I don't think that you will attempt to kill her, but I'd rather be safe than sorry."

Rin
Rin turned her head away from him. "Because. That's all I have to say about it. I promise I won't go after her or try to kill her, Emiya-kun."
Cherry Lover:
Shirou
Shirou sighed, before going silent as he considered whether to accept her deal. Part of him was wary of being caught in a trap, of being forced to watch helplessly as his wife was murdered. But, at the same time, he knew that both Rin and Sakura were good people at heart, people he could trust. Besides, if he could convince his wife not to attack her, then it wouldn't be an issue.
"OK", he said, eventually, "I will accept those terms."
"I would, however, like some clarity on what, exactly, I can tell my wife. I presume I can relay the terms of this Geas to her, and explain how I was treated, but how much can I tell her about you?"
Cherry Lover:
Shirou and Sakura
3:15 PM
Sakura was riding along on the horse provided to her by Justice as they travelled through the Slums, still desperately searching for her beloved husband when, to her relief, her phone began to make a familiar sound. The sound of the ringtone she had assigned to Shirou. Immediately, she took it out of her pocket and answered.
"Senpai!" she said, relieved but also concerned. "Is that you? Are you OK? Did that bitch hurt you? What does she want?"
"Yes, Sakura, It's me", he responded. "I'm fine. The alternate version of you released me unharmed, and I'm in the university district, heading back towards home. I'll see you soon."
"Wait, Senpai!" she replied. "I have some people helping me search for you, including Nanako. If you just wait near to the main clock tower, we'll come and find you as soon as we can."
"OK", Shirou replied, not wanting to argue with his clearly-worried wife. "I'll see you soon, then. Love you, bye."
"I love you too, Senpai. See you soon", she responded, before hanging up and letting out a sigh of relief as she turned to her companions.
"Senpai is OK!" she said, clearly overjoyed. "He said that the kidnapper released him unharmed, and he's in the university district now, so I told him to meet us by the clock tower. We need to get there as soon as possible!"
YOLF:
Justice
The rider breathed out a sigh of relief. No matter how much ground they covered, no matter how many eyes he had crawling and overlooking these streets bereft of easy kindness and full of people who were either fearful, deservingly aggressive, or simply miserable, and their respective holes in the ground or broken-down homes, they were still looking for a needle in a haystack at best. This was a much quicker conclusion to their quest than he'd anticipated.
What to make of this couple? They were lucky, despite being the sort of folk who'd draw in misfortune by being unable to keep their noses out of trouble, Justice got the distinct impression. Their reunion would be a welcome change from the last few hours of uncomfortably sexual jabs between the two others with them that felt like they were writing themselves in fire on the back of his skull. It certainly beat walking into an underground war between ratfolk and mutant turtles as well.
The insects that might have been following them never did give themselves away. At one point, they simply vanished. Was it because their quarry had simply given up on the reason for this whole misadventure, after all?
"Alright," he said, pulling on Punishment's reins. "Don't fall, we can shortcut that direction."
Justice had seen the anthills of education from afar on his initial scouting of the city, and the roofs here were low. His steed could simply hop over most of them without slowing down. So they turned around, the equine beast rumbling, and dashed off.
