Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

However, this time, things are different.

Everyone on the street stared in astonishment at the two people who had become covered in blood.

"Yes, Miss Eina!"

At the edge of the road, a boy named Bell, with a hoarse and weak voice, called out to Eina in the distance before quickly falling into a coma and collapsing on the roadside.

Beside him was Shirou Emiya, who had already been presumed dead and whose survival was virtually impossible.

After Bell collapsed, Shirou Emiya barely managed to support himself and stand firmly on the ground.

Shirou Emiya had no extra strength to continue moving.

He crawled out of that hell in a way that no one could believe.

"Pa-ta-!"

The sound of a file falling to the ground came from in front of Eina, who looked at the two people in the distance, completely bewildered.

Tears streamed down her face without her noticing.

She instinctively covered her lips to stop herself from crying out loud.

"Beelzebub! And Shirou—!"

But now is not the time to get excited.

Eina was only excited for a moment before running towards the guild at the fastest speed she had ever run.

She needed to quickly notify the therapist to heal Shirou Emiya and Bell as soon as possible.

"What?! Emiya Shirou is back alive!"

At the Loki Familia's encampment, Finn listened incredulously to the message relayed by the guild members.

But the next second, Finn quickly changed his attitude, looking at the guild members with great excitement.

"Where is Shirou Emiya right now? Tell me! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

As if he were coughing up his entire lungs, Finn began coughing violently after his initial excitement.

Finn suffered immense injuries and was severely depleted during that expedition.

He is still recovering from his injury.

"Captain!"

Rivera, standing beside him, looked at Finn with great concern. As the vice-captain, she was naturally very clear about Finn's current condition.

But even she was incredibly excited to hear that Shirou Emiya was still alive.

"The situation is not good right now; he could die at any moment. We came here hoping that [Nine Demon Princess] could go and heal Emiya Shirou. The guild has dispatched all available personnel and gathered all the healers with a certain level of skill to go there!"

The guild member looked at Rivera with great anxiety, after all, this was their main purpose for coming here.

"Is it that serious, Rivera! ————"

Before Finn could even speak, merely by calling out Riveria's name, she easily understood what he was trying to say.

"I'll get there as fast as I can!"

Riveria nodded quickly and gestured to the guild members not to waste time and to lead the way immediately.

"We're going too!!!"

Tiona, Ais, and the others quickly gathered around outside.

"Even if all we did in the past was offer blessings to Shirou Emiya, we don't want to never see our savior again!"

"Okay, include me too!"

Loki appeared here at some unknown time.

Perhaps Shirou Emiya was near the central plaza around the Tower of Babel, or perhaps the lower-ranking adventurers were so surprised to learn that Shirou Emiya was still alive that they kept passing the news on to each other.

Within a very short time, the news that Shirou Emiya had returned to Orario alive spread throughout the entire Orario.

No, it's more because of Emiya Shirou's overly legendary experiences.

It should be noted that, thanks to Finn's reasoned arguments, the guild's records show that it was Emiya Shirou who explored the 59th floor, and it was the expedition team that explored the 59th floor, not the Loki Familia.

After all, Shirou Emiya dealt with all the monsters on the 59th floor by himself; none of the others even managed to intervene.

Finn then declined the honor.

And so, Shirou Emiya, who sacrificed himself to save the entire expedition team, and who was willing to beat up a god for the sake of lower-ranking adventurers, once again ignited the entire Orario.

They even hailed him as a contemporary hero.

After all, everything Shirou Emiya has done since becoming an adventurer has been too shocking and too legendary.

His appearance on the street next to the central square naturally spread like wildfire among the people of Orario.

"Emiya?"

"Could you please elaborate on the information you just mentioned?"

When Ryu, who was serving customers at the tavern, heard about Shirou Emiya's news, her expression became incredibly resolute, and she immediately got up and went to the customers' location to inquire.

"Ha! How would I know where he is? I only found out about Shirou Emiya from someone else. You can check the news; you might see him there!"

Those adventurers wouldn't care about a mere tavern employee and were unwilling to seriously answer Ryu's questions.

However, the next second—

"boom--!"

A tremor emanated from the table in front of the adventurers.

"Gudu——!"

The sound of swallowing saliva stood out particularly in the sudden silence.

At this moment, a handprint can be seen on the table in front of these adventurers.

The entire area was reduced to ashes by Ryu's blows.

"Whether you tell me or not, my patience has its limits!"

"Speak! Speak! That Shirou Emiya should be near the central square. Many people saw him walking out of the dungeon covered in blood!"

However, when they looked up, the waiter in front of them had disappeared.

Hephaestus rushed there as quickly as possible after hearing the news.

Although she wasn't Shirou Emiya's god, she had been his mentor in forging for a long time, so she had to go no matter what.

Hestia rushed over in a great hurry. Not only was Emiya Shirou someone she knew, but Bell was also seriously injured and lying on the ground. She went there with a very worried expression.

As for Lily, after Hermes told her, she ran towards Shirou Emiya with extremely tired eyes and an excited expression on her face.

Chapter 509 Awakening

So dark—

So tired—

So far away—

It was as if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Bell looked at the darkness before him, silently muttering to himself.

I just want to fall asleep like this.

And so they drifted off to sleep without worry or trouble.

"Bell! Bell! Bell!"

Is someone calling my name?

And who else will be calling out for themselves?

As his consciousness continued to sink, Bell weakly stretched out his hand, looking at the endless darkness ahead, and his eyes gradually closed.

"Bell!!!!!"

The shout, powerful enough to pierce the mind, swept towards Bell at that moment.

He felt his outstretched hand being grabbed tightly.

"ha--!!!!"

Like a drowning person suddenly breathing in fresh air, a long, violent gasp came from Bell's throat.

He stared wide-eyed as if he had been startled, and suddenly sat up from the ground.

The sky was no longer as bright as it had been when Bear Grylls set off; the distant clouds were almost entirely tinged with a brilliant crimson.

The birds were also slowly flying towards the woods.

Dusk enveloped the entire labyrinth city the moment Bell awoke.

"Waaaaaah!!!! Bell! You're awake!!!!"

Overwhelmed sobs came from in front of Bell.

He felt the weight in front of him and immediately saw the deep tear stains on her face as the girl named Hestia lay on top of him.

"My Lord God—!"

Bell called out weakly to the girl in front of him, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

"You idiot Belle! You idiot Belle! Do you know how worried I am about you? The thought that you might never wake up again makes my heart ache like it's being shattered!!!"

Seeing that Bell had regained consciousness, Hestia suddenly stepped forward, reached out and hugged Bell's neck, leaned on his shoulder, and burst into tears.

"It's alright, Your Majesty, I'm still here."

Bell gently patted the back of the goddess Hestia, as if comforting a child, and softly reassured her in a weak voice.

Then, Hestia released Bell, looked at him with an unsettled expression, and sobbed softly.

Bell, with a faint smile, reached out and wiped away the tears from Hestia's eyes.
