Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Chapter 445 All That Needs to Be Beared

"Why not stop those clans from doing this? Even if you have irrefutable evidence, it should be the guild that handles this matter!"

"How can they fight so recklessly in the city!"

Inside the guild, Eina stood in front of her desk, her hands resting on the table, speaking with great excitement.

"Do we have the ability to stop it? Besides, do you even know how many clans were involved in this battle?!"

Sitting behind the desk, an elderly man with a full head of white hair and pointed ears like Eina casually looked at the documents in front of him, seemingly unconcerned about the emergency situation currently unfolding in Orario.

There was no intention to stop it.

"Does that mean we can let them run rampant in Orario?"

Eina continued to argue her case.

However, the old elf simply put down the magnifying glass in his hand.

Under Eina's anxious gaze, he tidied up the documents in his hand and placed them aside.

He then looked up at Eina and spoke slowly and calmly.

“Eina, if the person attacked wasn’t Shirou Emiya, whom you know, but a complete stranger, you probably wouldn’t care about this at all—”

"Isn't this a fact deeply ingrained in the hearts of everyone in Orario?"

"!"

Eina's expression changed drastically at that moment.

If I had never had any contact with Emiya Shirou at all!

What if I don't even know Emiya Shirou!

What if the person being attacked is just a complete stranger?

She wouldn't care about such things at all. Even if someone asked, she would just give a formulaic answer like "the guild will make a fair judgment."

In this city, who has the extra kindness to care about a complete stranger?

Did I not see those adventurers being bullied back then?

Don't they realize that it's wrong, that it's sinful?

But she chose to ignore them, even when they looked at her with pleading eyes. She made the choice that most people would make in this situation.

leave--

The idea of ​​someone being a hero for doing good deeds only exists in novels.

Because she knew in her heart what kind of end would be for someone who actually did that.

Eina reached out and grabbed her collar tightly, pulling it close to her chest.

She suddenly realized what Shirou Emiya truly wanted to face, what he needed to face—

But is this really something that can be changed by one person alone?

"Hahaha--!"

A deep breath escaped Eina's lips, and sweat continued to bead on her forehead.

Several damp marks appeared on the floor.

Those were the marks left by dripping sweat.

Just from Shirou Emiya's perspective, the terrifying pressure was like a mountain, leaving no chance to catch his breath.

Changing the mindset of adventurers who bully others is simply impossible.

If I were to encounter those people being bullied again, I would probably make the same choice.

However, this does not mean there is no way to save those bullied adventurers.

That is to bear the malice that comes from adventurers and from the gods.

This is what Emiya Shirou did.

The last person to do this in Orario was the goddess of justice, Astrea.

In addition to exploring the labyrinth, her retinue is also responsible for suppressing unscrupulous individuals who disrupt the peace of the city.

However, the final outcome was that almost the entire clan was wiped out in the dungeon.

Astrea was left alone as she left the labyrinth city of Orario.

Even gods cannot change this situation, let alone a human being who has no blessings.

"Do you understand? If you do, then get back to your posts immediately. There's nothing we can do about this!"

"No clan will offer him a helping hand. Since it is the path he has chosen, he should understand what he is facing!"

The old man's voice suddenly rose, scolding Eina and trying to drive her away.

"knew--!!"

Eina's expression gradually returned to normal. She bowed deeply to the white-haired old man in front of her and then immediately withdrew.

At this moment, the entire guild was in complete chaos, with countless wounded being brought into the guild.

Because the hospital can no longer accommodate such a large number of adventurers.

Shirou Emiya stormed into the Soma Familia, where he had already defeated hundreds of members.

Although they were all minor injuries, not much different from each other.

However, precisely because their injuries are not serious and they can recover after a few days of rest, unless they are wealthy adventurers, they generally do not choose to use healing potions that might save their lives during dungeon exploration.

However, the intense pain has also prevented them from acting normally.

"Really! That kid really has the guts to do that!"

Inside the office, after Eina left, he picked up the documents in his hand with a sigh of admiration.

"There are so many things to do next!"

Eina pushed open the door, and at that moment, the entire Orario was discussing this matter.

Whether it's a street vendor or an adventurer who has just returned from the dungeon.

Even the drunken people chatting in the tavern were discussing what had happened that day.

The actions of those clans were so significant that even non-adventures could tell what was happening over there.

As for why, the adventurers who attacked Shirou Emiya didn't care about the vendors' stalls.

Along the way, Shirou Emiya saw that many stalls had been damaged to varying degrees.

Although the guild said it would compensate for these losses, it's impossible for them not to feel resentful seeing their property destroyed right before their eyes.

Eina stood at the door, shaking her head with a self-deprecating smile.

How could even the guild that rules over those clans possibly adjudicate actions taken by a dozen or so clans united together?

With so many gods involved, the guild simply couldn't impose a severe punishment.

Those people were already in a situation where "the law does not punish the masses," not to mention that there were also deities involved who were difficult to judge.

Their target was merely a human being who received no favors whatsoever.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that those clans dared to make such a big move and dared to openly attack Emiya Shirou.

Because Shirou Emiya has no one standing behind him, no god will protect him.

He had to face all of this alone.

It should be noted that these people have never acted so blatantly when facing the goddess of justice, Astraea.

Chapter 446 Apollo's Invincible Position

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Amidst a chaotic and loud burst of gunfire, scorching bullets shot out from the dark muzzles, transforming into streaks of light in the night sky. Under the moonlight, magical runes appeared on the bullets.

The bullet turned bright red in an instant, radiating unbearable heat, and flew towards Shirou Emiya.

The bullets that rained down on Shirou Emiya like a storm were not ordinary bullets like those in the Tokyo Butei High School.

Those bullets were made with special metals by the blacksmith and infused with magical runes, making them far more powerful than ordinary bullets.

Seeing the continuous barrage of bullets coming at him, Shirou Emiya did not stand still and raise his reverse blade to block them.

Instead, his body trembled slightly, and he suddenly retreated.

The threats he faces are not limited to the adventurers with guns in the distance.

"Oh!"

The moment the bullet hit the ground, a dense burst of light appeared, bursting forth as if to devour everything, before quickly dissipating.

If Shirou Emiya, who is not a member of the Hephaestus Familia, wants to learn forging techniques from her, then he needs to offer something substantial in exchange.

And Hephaestus just so happens to be a god who is extremely interested in unknown weapons.

The firearms, of course, had already been handed over to Hephaestus.

She also completed the analysis of the gun in a very short time and forged it.

They even further expanded the capabilities of the pistol.

In just a few hours, Shirou Emiya witnessed Hephaestus forging all kinds of firearms, including machine guns, sniper rifles, and rifles, using only a pistol.

Moreover, its function is almost identical to the pistol in Shirou Emiya's hand, except that it does not have a blade at the front of the gun.

After all, Shirou Emiya is probably the only one who can fight with a pistol.

Those firearms can not only be loaded with various special bullets, but can also be fired by gathering the magic power within the body.

In other words, when they have bullets, the guns will fire bullets; when they don't have bullets, they will fire bullets made of magic.

Once it was forged, all the blacksmiths in the clan began to study and research it.
