"Look Ako-san saw there were a lot of people gathered there," Shirou said. "It seems they gather to follow some interesting event."
"The best couple competition with a luxury price," Ako said while reading the bulletin board in front of her. "Alexander-kun this best couple competition is the reason why all of those people has gathered."
"Hmm that seems interesting," said Shirou. "Shall we join."
"Eeeh," said Ako looking panicked.
"Ahaha I'm just kidding, Ako-san," said Shirou.
"Oooh are you two interested to compete!" Behind Shirou suddenly appeared 2 muscular people with shaved heads. "If both of you are really interested just come along! We are both participant-seeking agents, the event held by our boss has a few participants, so we need a people like you!"
The two muscular men then lifted Shirou and Ako on their shoulders forcibly and took them both away.
"W-wait, what are you doing!" Ako said.
"Hey let me off!" Shirou said trying to get away from himself. "I have no interest to compete in the event!"
"Let go of me Chachamaru! How dare those muscular men force Shirou to join some stupid competition like that! "Said Rin who tried to run towards Shirou but she couldn't because her was held by Chachamaru." And again if Shirou took part in that competition it should be me who was on Shirou's side! Not Ako-san! "
"Tohsaka-san please be patient," said Chachamaru while holding Rin's body so that Rin didn't go berserk and ran towards Shirou. "The date beetwen Shirou-Sama and Ako-san is to make Ako-san feel better and confident, so be patient for a bit."
"Grrr, all right!" said Rin who finally felt calmer after hearing Chachamaru's words. "I will punish Shirou after Ako-san's concert is over!"
'So this is the true nature of Rin Tohsaka-san who is the most graceful and beautiful girl in the class,' said Chisame in her heart. 'The image of her who is elegant ladyl completely destroyed in an instant.'

"Sorry to keep the you are all waiting! This is Mahora Festival, Best Couple Contest!" The host of the show said. "The couples who win first to third place will get a pair of beautiful bracelets! All the contestant please go to the changing room to choose the costumes, because the first event is in the contest is the best costumes competition!"
"I didn't expect that we would be forced to participate in this competition," said Ako. "Even though we are not a couple."
"Because we've been forcibly registered to take part in this competition," said Shirou. "Shall we try to win the competiton?"
"But I was suck at things like this," said Ako. "A support character like me didn't deserve to be with you in this competition, my existence only made you in trouble Alexander-kun!"
"Calm down Ako-san," said Shirou. "I will make sure that we will won the first place!"

"Now is time for the 5th pair!" The host said the show. "The pair of Alexander and Ako!"
Shirou and Ako wear a wedding attire, Shirou wears a white tuxedo that exudes his good looks. Ahile Ako wore a white wedding dress while holding a bouquet of flowers.
"A super handsome boy couple wooow and a cute girl wearing a wedding outfit! Really a high quality couple!" said the host.
"They both look good together," said Chachamaru.
"Ufufufufu now they're both wearing a wedding dress," said Rin who really looked angry when she saw Shirou and Ako. "Looks like I really need to have a long talk with Shirou tonight!"
"In this pair contest, the balance of the pair is the most important thing," said the host. "Now we look to the fifth pair Alexander and Ako, Alexander looks cool and Ako looks grim. Will they be able to win this contest?"
"Uuh, I don't deserve to beside him on this stage," said Ako with tears running down on her cheeks. "Alexander-kun, I'm sorry!"
Seeing the tears streaming down Ako's cheeks, Shirou grabbed Ako's shoulder and said:
"You don't have to worry Ako-san, I'll make sure that we will win this contest."
Shirou then carried Ako's body just like a groom carries a bride. And it clearly made Ako surprised and the audience felt amazed and jealous.
"Ooh the old tradition when the male bride carrying the female bride!" The host said the show. "How romantic! Just like as a prince married a princess!"
"Arrrgh! Seeing that romantic scene only makes me feel annoyed!" Rin said.
"Be patient Tohsaka-san," said Chachamaru.
'I don't want to admit it, but somehow I feel the same thing that Tohsaka feel!' Chisame said.
After the first event is over.
"For the contestant please return to the changing room," said the host. "In the second event the participants were required to wear swimsuits!"
'Swimsuit!' said Ako. 'This is bad! If the scar on my back is.. '
"Ako, you don't need to worry," said Shirou who knew that Ako was worried that the scar on her back. "I have a very good idea to win!"

"Oh! The swimsuit that use by the third couple Eiko and Nagoya couple is really bold!" The host said. "It really shows the sexiness of women and the manliness of men! And then the pair Yuki and Haruki show an extraordinary cuteness that attracts the attention of many audience."
"Eh, A-Alexander-kun is it okay if I look like this, I don't look flashy right?" Asked Ako.
"No problem," replied Shirou. "Your current appearance look so cute!"
"I-I don't look cute!" Ako said with a flustered face after she hear Shirou's praise.
"Alright now is the turn of the last pair we are waiting for! the Ako and Alexander couple!" The host said the show.
Ako appears with hair extensions that reach hir back that make her hair look longer, a white two-piece bikini along with a gray swimming jacket that she wears to cover her back. And because of the pad that Ako was wearing on her bikini, Ako's chest looked a little bigger than usual. Plus the thin make up that Ako wears makes her face look even more charming.
Shirou appeared in black trunks and a deep red swim jacket, making him look like Archer. Shirou's tall and muscular body made him look very manly.
"This is amazing!" The host said. " Ako and Alexander is really look perfect! The girl looks very beautiful in the bikini she is wearing while the man looks dashing! What a perfect match!"
"I can't believe that my current appearance is really that good" said Ako with a surprised look.
"I told you Ako-san," said Shirou. "You are a cute girl."
"Y-Yes," said Ako. "But this is all thanks to Alexander-kun efforts of who chose the right bikini for me, put on the make-up and also used hair extensions on my hair. I didn't think Alexander-kun fashion skill is so great, you're like a professional beautician. "
"W-Well I have to learn all those things myself because of a special circumstances!" said Shirou remembering the incident where he was forced to learn all these things by Sella and Liz to make Shirou could understand more about women, even Shirou was forced to disguise himself as a woman by Sella and Liz for that ridiculous reason.
Remembering all those things only made Shirou feel shiver.

"The judges and the vote stated that the winner of the best pair competition is Ako and Alexander couple!" The host said. "They both look very romantic and affectionate, they really are a best couple!"
"Eeeeh! Alexander-kun we won!" Ako said.
"That's right," said Shirou. "I told you not roght that I will make both of us win this contest!"
"I never thought that the two of them could win that stupid contest!" said Rin with a sigh. "Even though I didn't accept it because I wasn't Shirou's partner in that contest!"
"They both look really good together," said Chachamaru. "Shirou-sama is really a great man!"
"Shirou-kun is good at cooking, housework and he can even change Ako's appearance to be that pretty," said Chisame. "She's more feminine than real women."
"I'm ashamed to admit it," Rin said with a flushed face. "But that's was the ability that my boyfriend Emiya Shirou most proud of."

It was in the afternoon when the date between Ako and Shirou was coming to an end, and the concert was about to start.
"Ako-san, do you feel more relaxed now?" Shirou asked.
"Yes," replied Ako. "Thanks to you Alexander-kun, I don't feel tense anymore, I'm really grateful!"
"That's great," said Shirou. "I'm happy, you feel much better!"
"Then Alexander-kun can you close your eyes for a moment while lowering your body?" Asked Ako.
"Eh, okay," said Shirou who was confused why Ako suddenly told him to close his eyes while lowering his body.
Ako approached Shirou tiptoed her feet and then kissed Shirou's lips. Shirou felt something soft touching his lips and immediately opened his eyes and saw Ako was kissing his lips.
Ako stopped the kiss after seeing Shirou open his eyes and she say: "That kiss is a sign of my gratitude to you Alexander-kun! Thank you for giving me courage! "
After she finished saying that, Ako immediately ran with a red face and left Shirou because she felt embarrassed by the kiss she had done.
Meanwhile, Shirou was daydreaming because of Ako's kiss, which he didn't expect at all.
