Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Chapter 462 Let's Fight First

"Name--"

"Shirou Emiya"

"gender--"

"You should be able to tell, right?"

"age--"

"16 years old"

"The deepest level we've reached is—"

"38th floor"

"Family members—"

"none"

"grade--"

"none"

"Wait a minute? Something seems off?"

The girl, as if it were a routine matter, held the list in her hand and asked about Emiya Shirou's whereabouts.

This job must be incredibly boring for a girl who looks so lively.

She'd rather go shopping with Ais than stay here.

But an expedition is a very important matter. Compared to simply getting to know someone from information, meeting them in person allows for a better judgment, much like an interview.

No matter how much the panel boasts, it's not as good as actually meeting them in person.

Of course, there's no other reason why she's able to stay here peacefully; her sister is in charge of vetting the supporters on the other side.

This happened to be another job for two people, so when her older sister accepted the mission assigned by Captain Finn, she naturally accepted it as well.

The adventurers responsible for protecting the supporters are usually at level 3 or 4.

Upon venturing deeper, even the weakest monsters are level 4.

In fact, many of the supporters in the expedition team were LV2 or LV3.

Exploring deeper, if the supporters have no means of self-defense, they are also very likely to encounter unexpected events.

As the leader, Finn is naturally responsible for the entire group and cannot take over all adventurers and supporters.

"So you're the adventurer who didn't accept the blessing?"

As if realizing something, she finally raised her head and looked at Shirou Emiya standing in front of her.

"Emmm, it should be me, if there aren't any other adventurers who haven't received the blessing."

"Ha! I've long disliked the Apollo Familia! Well done!"

The girl stood up casually and patted Shirou Emiya on the shoulder without any hesitation, looking from a distance like an old acquaintance of Shirou Emiya.

"No, I only want to help those lower-level adventurers."

"It's quite remarkable that you were able to do that!"

The girl praised Shirou Emiya, saying that he was very courageous to confront the gods head-on without any divine support.

Even she herself wouldn't dare to attack a god if Loki were to support her.

"My name is Tiona, it's nice to meet you!"

Tiona smiled and casually took Shirou Emiya's hand.

"So you're planning to join our expedition?"

"Yes!"

Emiya Shirou nodded affirmatively.

He's not short of money; he just wants to see what the deeper underground cities are like.

The money earned from reaching the current floor is almost enough to buy a luxury mansion.

In addition to the income from Shirou Emiya's exploration of dungeons, there is also the income he receives from selling weapons.

As his fame soared, the weapons he manufactured also sold extremely well.

In addition, the product itself is of very high quality and sold out in a very short time.

Hephaestus certainly wouldn't make money off Shirou Emiya for nothing; all the weapons Shirou Emiya had sold were used to offset the materials he used for forging.

Hephaestus currently only takes 10% of the income she receives, giving the rest to Shirou Emiya.

Emiya Shirou had no other expenses besides forging, and the magic crystals he obtained from each dungeon exploration were several times more than those of adventurers of the same level.

In just over a month, Shirou Emiya's funds had already exceeded 100 million.

"The 38th floor—"

"What level of adventurers do you usually team up with?"

Tiona pondered, waving her pen.

Without any special gift, it's impossible to judge Shirou Emiya's true strength level.

Just like the previous sixteenth floor, it has misled countless adventurers and gods.

As a result, all the adventurers who later plotted against Shirou Emiya were dealt with by him and never dared to provoke Shirou Emiya again.

Initially, their plan was to bully the lower-ranking adventurers when Shirou Emiya went to the dungeon.

However, it turned out that some members of the guild seemed to share Shirou Emiya's hatred. Every time Shirou Emiya returned to Orario, the adventurers who had done bad things while Shirou was away were dealt with.

Tiona could only ask Shirou Emiya what level his companions were and who they were, in order to roughly guess Shirou Emiya's strength.

After all, at her level, most high-level adventurers are very familiar with her.

She is also able to assess Shirou Emiya's strength by consulting with adventurers whose abilities she is familiar with.

“LV1————”

"What?"

Tiona wondered if she had misheard.

"Say it again, what level adventurer are you?"

"Lower-level adventurer—"

After all, among the advanced adventurers, there are further subdivisions: Level 3 adventurers - Lv.2, Level 2 adventurers - Lv.3-4, and Level 1 adventurers - Lv.5 and above.

Those who can reach level 38 are usually composed of high-level adventurers.

While there will definitely be supporters, they are not responsible for combat, and Tiona did not take them into consideration.

"You didn't understand what I meant. I meant what levels of adventurers there are besides supporters."

"Besides the supporters, it's just me."

"..."

"A liar's nose will grow longer—"

"Uh, I wasn't lying—"

Shirou Emiya didn't know where to begin his comment, so he responded to Tiona with a wry smile.

"Ugh!!! This is so annoying!! This kind of brain-intensive work is not my thing. Why don't you just fight me? A fight will let me know how strong you really are!"

Tiona suddenly threw the paper in her hand on the ground and yelled at Shirou Emiya.

"What about us?"

When they saw Tiona preparing to pull Shirou Emiya away from there, the adventurer behind him cautiously asked a question.

Because neither of the two people in front of him was someone he could afford to offend.

One is someone who dares to beat a god, and the other is a member of Loki's clan, and even an Amazon.

"I'll have the rest of my clan handle this!"

After thinking for a while, Tiona decided to hand this troublesome matter over to Captain Finn for resolution.

After all, even if someone passes the interview, Commander Finn still needs to review their application.

Let it be.

I was already feeling really frustrated because I couldn't do anything sitting here.

Now that another character, Emiya Shirou, has appeared whom she can't judge at all, she's even more frustrated.

Although she is carefree and has an innocent and carefree personality, it doesn't mean she is immune to frustration.

In short, when in doubt, fight it first.

Chapter 463 LV6, Victory

A gentle breeze swept in from the distant sky, rustling across the lush green lawn and causing the flowers, grasses, and trees to sway in the breeze.

In the center of the courtyard, Shirou Emiya and Tiona stood facing each other.

Those adventurers chose to temporarily forgo registering their information and instead come to observe the battle.

One is Shirou Emiya, whose strength is extremely mysterious and whose true strength is unknown. He has been given the title of "Mortal" and has recently become famous in Orario.

The other one is Tiona, a Level 6 adventurer known as the "Great Severer" who stands in the first tier of the Orario Adventurers.

The story of Shirou Emiya single-handedly defeating hundreds of adventurers is still told in Orario.

However, they didn't have a high opinion of Shirou Emiya; in fact, no one ever had a high opinion of him.

In this world, becoming an adventurer by receiving divine blessings is the mainstream. No matter how outstanding Shirou Emiya's performance is, in the eyes of those people, he can never compare to an adventurer who has received divine blessings.
