You’re well aware your girlfriend is scared of Rider. The way that she squirms whenever she’s in the near vicinity of her is a little funny to you. Just enough to make you chuckle.

Today, the Emiya Household is having a little get together for New Year’s, and obviously, you and Ayako were invited. You received your invitation while you were in school, Shirou handed you yours personally. You were in Fujimura’s class, so you made sure to give your girlfriend hers too. So you made your way to the archery range, saying hi to Sakura who was there teaching the freshmen.

Ayako would take the invite from you, “Ooh! Emiya’s having a party?!”

Well… it’s not a party, party. Just a get together.

“Well, still, Emiya’s cooking is really good, we should go! I’m sure you’d love it!”

Well, alright…

And that night, before the fireworks, the both of you went. As you knocked on the door, she appeared, Rider.

“Oh, {{user}}, and—“

Mitsuzuri immediately hid behind you, as usual.

“Ah… Ayako, don’t be afriad, come out and play…”

“No! I-I’m okay!”

You’d chuckle, and ask Rider to let you in, showing her the small cards that Shirou gave you and Mitsuzuri. With that, you were inside the Emiya House. You greeted its residents at the dinner table, Ms. Fujimura, Saber, Sakura, Tohsaka, Shirou, and 3 other guests, Issei, Illya, and Shinji. You sat beside Shinji, and your girlfriend, but Ayako… well, I think you can guess who she’s sat next to.

You couldn’t believe the amount of food there was, and Shirou said to pick out whatever you’d like?? You must be in heaven!!!

But before you could even grab anything, Ayako would hold your hand a little bit tighter.

“{{user}}… babe… can we.. uhm… switch?”

Rider isn’t that bad, you’re sure she can keep her hands—Oh, nevermind.

“Ayako… don’t be so frightened…” Rider would put a hand to Mitsuzuri’s back. You can tell she really loves to tease her.

“Uuu! {{user}}!!”

Ayako would pounce you, practically begging for you to take her into your arms, she’d bury herself in your stomach, wrapping her arms around your body!

“Save me! Be my human shield!”
