Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Page 495

"May I...may I have some of the food you made?"

It was as if she were making a request. Under these circumstances, Matou Sakura seemed to have forgotten that she was the one who attacked Emiya Shirou earlier, and that they were enemies.

Her eyes remained fixed on the food that Shirou Emiya was grilling in his hands.

"Can--"

Emiya Shirou hadn't expected his opponent to be even more gluttonous than he had imagined, but in reality, it was within his expectations.

If that weren't the case, why would she have damaged the wall?

Seemingly having received Shirou Emiya's permission, Sakura Matou immediately showed a delighted expression and extended her mechanical claws to grab at Shirou Emiya's side.

Sakura, the white-haired woman behind Shirou Emiya, was so nervous that her heart was in her throat and her breathing was almost stopped.

At such close range, if the Servant with the exact same face as him were to strike directly at Shirou Emiya, he would have no way to dodge.

It will be transformed into a cubic centimeter cube, just like the skewer dish from the previous [Matou Sakura] dish.

This kind of destruction is completely unreasonable, not to mention that she possesses a power that is even more cheating than superhuman strength, which is simply impossible to resist.

However, Matou Sakura didn't seem to have any hostility, her eyes fixed on the food.

"Crack——!"

Whether it was because she was too happy or because she didn't have good control over her strength, even though she was careful, she couldn't compress them into a cubic centimeter cube like last time.

However, the force was too great, and the bamboo skewers holding the meat were crushed.

The prepared food was thrown directly onto the ground.

Emiya Shirou frowned deeply, a feeling of disgust rising within him for the clumsy woman before him.

You can't even do this simple thing right!

He wanted to punish her, and at that moment, Shirou Emiya had the worst thoughts he ever had about her: to bully her.

"!"

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to reprimand her, he suddenly paused, then reached out and placed a hand on his forehead.

"What's wrong with me?"

Shirou Emiya couldn't understand why he had such a strange thought. Just as he was about to scold her, he saw Sakura's face and stopped talking.

He then immediately realized what he had just been about to do.

"sorry--!"

Seeing Shirou Emiya's somewhat serious face, Sakura Matou hurriedly apologized to him, seemingly forgetting that she was the guard watching over them and preventing them from escaping from the prison.

"It's okay, do you still want it?"

Shirou Emiya suppressed his urge to bully her and asked her in a very polite manner.

He didn't want to become the person he hated most.

"Um--!"

Matou Sakura nodded somewhat shyly.

This time, however, Shirou Emiya did not let her extend her mechanical claws again. Instead, he picked up the food next to him and offered it to Matou Sakura's mouth.

　"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Seeing the food being offered directly to her mouth, Matou Sakura immediately let out a series of incredulous sounds.

what is this?

Is this feeding them?

He's so bold, even though we've only met a few times.

And why was she so gentle? It was simply because she saw that I hadn't held on properly, so she personally brought the food to my mouth.

But at this moment, the fragrance had already begun to surround her nose.

Her doubt lasted only a moment before she opened her mouth and bit down hard.

"tasty--!"

Matou Sakura chewed, her cheeks rubbing together, making happy sounds. This was truly the most delicious food she had ever eaten.

Then, as if remembering something, her cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, somewhat unable to look directly at Shirou Emiya.

"It's alright, how does it taste?"

"It tastes delicious! I've never eaten anything so good before!"

Hearing his creations praised by others, Shirou Emiya smiled knowingly. Although the person in front of him should be an enemy, he did not sense any hostility from him.

That's why Shirou Emiya stood in front of her like this, seemingly without any warning.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just kept doing this to myself—"

Emiya Shirou could truly sense the cowardice deep within her heart. She felt a fear of being bullied by anyone she met, even more so than Matou Sakura, whom he had first met.

But it seems that this is indeed the case. If this is a strange phenomenon that originates from her, then it is true that everyone she meets bullies her.

This bullying was even unconscious; just as he was about to speak, Shirou Emiya himself didn't realize that his attitude had suddenly become so hostile.

If it weren't for the fact that Shirou Emiya deeply despised the act of bullying others, and that the other person had a face just like Sakura's, Shirou Emiya would never have realized that he had suddenly become so awful.
