Anime, but the Phantom Thieves of Heart

Lan Ke was also a new friend of his. If the two of them could be together, it would be a double blessing. But the problem was what Lan Ke had said before.

"I'm tired of my old life. Now I want to live a free life, like getting 10 girlfriends first."

Listen, is this something an average person could say?

He would even blush when Lan Ke or Suzuki Sonoko teased him and Mao Li Ran in private. He was so much lower in level than Lan Ke.

In his opinion, Lan Ke might not be a bad person, but he is not as devoted as himself... ahem, anyway, he is quite different!

As a friend of Lan Ke, he should support it, but as a friend of Suzuki Sonoko, he seems to be against it.

But since both sides were friends, he simply chose to change the subject.

"By the way, the boy who just came to see Lan Ke was wearing a school uniform. He seems to be in the same grade as us?"

As expected, as Kudo Shinichi spoke, Suzuki Sonoko, who didn't know what to say before, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that I hate Lan Ke, or that I think Lan Ke doesn’t fit my aesthetic taste, it’s simply because I always feel that Lan Ke is not the type I’m looking for.

If Kudo Shinichi knew what the other person was thinking, he would probably complain, "It's just like repels like," right?

But it was obvious that Kudo Shinichi didn't know, and Suzuki Sonoko quickly took over the conversation.

"Kudo, you know so little about your classmates, don't you? Emiya-san is one of the famous people in the school~"

Emiya-san?

Hearing this surname, even Kudo Shinichi, who would never remember it even if he was not interested in it, frowned slightly. He always felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Then it suddenly occurred to him.

"Ah! That boy who always helps various clubs fix things!!"

Kudo Shinichi recalled that not long after he started school last year, the water heater in the football club's locker room broke down. Coincidentally, a boy passing by helped to fix the water heater, otherwise the nearly 20 boys would have had to go back home in a stinking manner.

Although Kudo Shinichi's description was a bit strange, Suzuki Sonoko still nodded.

"You could say that~ Emiya-san is not only good at housework, but he can also take care of all kinds of things. He might not be as good-looking as some boys, but a down-to-earth guy like him has a lot of fans. Many girls like Emiya-san, but it's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"Emiya-kun's family situation is rather unusual. It's said that his father passed away a few years ago, and his mother has never been heard of. He's been raising his two younger sisters by working part-time alone, and some of his classmates even nicknamed him a 'working warrior'..."

Speaking of this, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Although this makes Emiya-san more reliable, it's too much of a burden. If I date Emiya-san, I'll definitely have to take care of his sister too..."

It's not that she can't take care of him given the Suzuki family's situation, but simply because she hopes that her other half can be more "fairy-tale" or "dreamlike". Emiya Shirou's situation is too realistic and obviously does not conform to her aesthetic.

Suzuki Sonoko was sighing there, but Kudo Shinichi suddenly realized.

I was curious about where Lan Ke, this autistic guy with a playful personality, met his new friends. Now it seems that he might have met them while working part-time?

I have to say that Kudo Shinichi has good reasoning ability, and from a certain perspective it can be considered an unexpected success.

But the best news is that we can temporarily skip the previous somewhat strange topic.

Kudo Shinichi's place has returned to its former tranquility. The two girls were eating lunch and chatting about last night's TV series. Only Kudo Shinichi was leaning back in his chair, chewing the lunch box prepared for him by Mouri Ran and staring at the ceiling in a daze.

In the past few days, he had basically been discussing "tactics" with Lan Ke at noon. Now that the other party was suddenly not there, he was even a little uncomfortable.

Then he couldn't help but glance at Suzuki Sonoko.

I don't have that feeling at all even though the other person is not around.

As if noticing Kudo Shinichi's strange gaze, Suzuki Yui also looked at him strangely and then continued to talk about TV series with Mouri Ran, leaving Kudo Shinichi there in a daze.

Compared to the boring Kudo Shinichi, Lan Ke gained a lot here.

After confirming with Lan Ke whether lunch was prepared, Shirou Emiya took Lan Ke to the courtyard. This made Lan Ke a little disappointed as she had originally thought that they would go to the rooftop. After all, the rooftop is the most common place in various ACG works.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange. After all, leaving aside other situations, going to the rooftop to eat, with such strong winds and even more dust, is simply asking for trouble.

Shirou Emiya didn't waste any time and directly took out a booklet and handed it to Lan Ke.

"These are some part-time job information I've compiled that might interest you, Narukami-san. However, since other people might apply, it's best to confirm before you make a decision..."

Looking at the booklet handed over by Shirou Emiya, Lan Ke was obviously a little surprised. After all, the booklet didn't look thin.

Opening the booklet, one can see that some parts of it were cut out and pasted from various brochures, while others were hand-copied, which is enough to show the intentions of the maker.

"I'm so sorry to bother you, Emiya-san..."

jiu liu ling yi er liu er qi ling

As Lan Ke spoke, he took out his phone and started taking pictures. However, Emiya Shirou did not take any credit for this.

"No trouble, no trouble. Actually, most of these things weren't sorted by me. They were prepared by a senior employee I met while working part-time. I was a little embarrassed at the time, but he told me that he wouldn't need so much anyway, and since he had already collected them, it would be better to give them to someone in need than to waste them. If I don't need them, I can give them to someone in need..."

Speaking of that senior, Emiya Shirou's eyes curved slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

This made Lan Ke curious. Who on earth likes to do good deeds so much?

"What's the name of that senior? Maybe I know him and would like to thank him if I have the chance."

"Senior, don't worry about this, but...it's okay to tell Narukami-san. Senior's last name is 'Amuro' and his given name is 'Toru'. I wonder if you know him, Narukami-san?"

Shirou Emiya thought for a moment and finally decided to tell Lan Ke the name of the senior, but he didn't expect that Lan Ke was completely stunned after hearing it.

Amuro Toru? That "national sex lover"?

How did he get involved with Emiya Shirou? !

Lan Ke had never expected that the name given by Emiya Shirou would be this, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem strange. After all, in the original work, Amuro Toru often went to various places to work in order to collect information. It didn't seem strange that he knew Emiya Shirou, who was also a "working warrior" now?

"Narukami-san, do you know Amuro-senpai?"

Lan Ke's strange pause undoubtedly attracted Shirou Emiya's attention, and Lan Ke quickly shook his head.

"I don't know him, but he sounds familiar."

Emiya Shirou, who had no doubts about it, was not surprised at all.

"Senpai seems to enjoy 'experiencing life', so he often changes his part-time job location. Perhaps you've heard of him somewhere, Narukami-kun?"

When talking about Toru Amuro, Shirou Emiya was obviously very interested. After all, the other party had given him a lot of help when he just started working, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.

However, as Lan Ke flipped through the booklet, he also took out his lunch box and started eating lunch.

On the other side, Lan Ke was translating very seriously. After all, he sincerely hoped to find a job that would provide him with "no constraints but a good salary."

Unfortunately, this kind of job is obviously not easy to find, and Shirou Emiya doesn't have one either.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange. After all, if it really exists, why doesn’t the other party go?

Although he felt a little disappointed, he still expressed his gratitude to Shirou Emiya when he returned the booklet to him.

After finishing talking about the 'serious business', Lan Ke also started talking about some 'other things'.

"By the way, Emiya-san, when the Kendo Club was doing its physical fitness test last time, I happened to see you going to see Mr. Fujimura..."

Shirou Emiya didn't say anything, but just looked at Lan Ke with a puzzled look, as if wondering why Lan Ke brought up this matter here. Lan Ke then didn't waste any words and directly explained his purpose.

"I happened to hear you asking Mr. Fujimura to find a lawyer? Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but maybe I can help you with this matter..."

Shirou Emiya was not angry because Lan Ke heard what he said, he was just a little surprised. However, when the words of refusal came to his lips, they were instantly stuck in his throat.

Shirou Emiya always gives people the impression of being a good man, but in fact he is extremely proud in his heart, otherwise he would not have thought of raising his two younger sisters on his own even though he has a lot of inheritance.

But if it was just his personal matter, then he could naturally refuse, but this concerned his sister.

He hesitated.

When his father died, he swore to the other party at his father's bedside that he would take good care of his sisters no matter what the cost.

In this case, is there any meaning in my meaningless pride?

Thinking back to the night before when he was working as a waiter, he met Lan Ke, a man in a suit. He thought maybe he could really help him!

"There's nothing bad to say..."

Shirou Emiya seemed to have let it go and spoke again. He didn't know if it was Lan Ke's illusion, but he always felt that Shirou Emiya seemed a little strange at this time. However, he didn't care too much. After all, in his opinion, if he could solve the troubles Shirou Emiya encountered, then he should be able to obtain the other party's "Tarot", right?

Lan Ke's expression at this moment seemed extremely serious...

Chapter 15: It is imperative to capture Saeko Busujima!

Looking at Lan Ke's serious expression, Shirou Emiya felt a little funny. After all, the other party seemed to be more serious than himself, but the feeling of being cared for by friends was not bad.

His mood, which had been low because he had to talk about the bad things, seemed to have recovered a lot, but before he started, he had to remind Lan Ke.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Lan Ke, but simply because it involves his family, he has to be extremely cautious.

"Because what I'm going to say next involves my family, I hope you won't talk too much to non-related people."

"Don't worry! I'm very tight-lipped."

As a doctor, Lan Ke has received countless difficult and complicated cases, many of which involve extremely complicated situations and even involve the patients' families, but Lan Ke has always kept his mouth shut, and he is full of confidence in this.

It was originally just a simple reminder, but seeing Lan Ke so confident, he didn't say anything more and just nodded.

"Since you heard what I said to Mr. Fujimura, Narukami, you should also know that I have two sisters, right?"

Seeing Lan Ke nod, Emiya Shirou continued speaking.

"But the three of us siblings are not related by blood. My other sister, Miyu, and I were both adopted by our father..."

Shirou Emiya's voice was a little low, as if he was lost in memories, and a question mark popped up in Lan Ke's head.

Who is 'Miyu'?

Why hasn't he heard of it?

However, he did not interrupt the other party, but listened quietly to the other party's description of what happened.

"My hometown was once hit by a massive fire caused by a 'gas pipeline explosion.' The scale... was roughly comparable to the previous 'Hokkaido fire.' The only difference was that the fire occurred in the city. Although many people were saved thanks to timely rescue efforts, my family unfortunately perished in the fire..."

"Feel sorry."

Hearing Lan Ke's apology, Shirou Emiya smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay. It's been more than ten years, and I believe my parents wouldn't want me to spend all day feeling sorry for myself. Besides, as I just said, I met a new family later."

"My father, or rather my adoptive father, happened to be in the area at the time and participated in the post-disaster relief efforts, and he found me..."

As Emiya Shirou spoke, he touched his arm involuntarily. In fact, the fire not only took away his family, but also burned him. This is why he always wears long sleeves even in summer. Once he takes off his outer clothes, the ugly burn scars can be seen.

However, he still composed himself and continued to tell Lan Ke.

"After I was adopted by my adoptive father, I learned that he had returned to his hometown with his daughter because his wife had passed away. That girl was my first sister, Illya. She had long silver-white hair and red eyes, and a very lively personality. She was like an angel to me..."

As he spoke, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but smile happily. It was obvious that he loved his sister very much. She played a big role in helping him get over the tragedy of his family's death so quickly.

Whenever he felt down, and saw young Illya stretching her arms out to him, he couldn't help but put everything behind him.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and realized that now was not the time to recall these things.

"As for my other sister, her situation is similar to mine. She was born in the Sakutsuki family in a nearby city. When my father was renovating the Sakutsuki family, the Rumbling Earthquake happened to occur, and the Sakutsuki family was destroyed. Except for the young Miyu, all the members of the family perished in the Rumbling Earthquake. My father then decided to adopt Miyu..."

It is obviously admirable that Emiya Kiritsugu adopted a child who lost his family due to a natural disaster, but Lan Ke always felt that something was wrong. Why did Emiya Kiritsugu seem like he was "possessed by the god of death" and cause trouble wherever he went?

Just like wherever Conan goes, the presidents there die like stubbles of wheat.

But such words were too rude, and Lan Ke couldn't say it directly, so he chose to listen silently.

"Miyu was about the same age as Illya, and we quickly became friends. Like me, Miyu also quickly recovered from her depression with her help. I had thought our family could live out our lives in peace, but my father suddenly became seriously ill due to a relapse of an old injury and passed away a few years ago. I chose to take over my father's responsibility to take care of my two younger sisters, but then 'those two guys' showed up."

Emiya Shirou, who usually spoke in a gentle tone, became noticeably less polite when he mentioned 'those two guys'. This was undoubtedly very strange, after all, Emiya Shirou was always used to using honorifics, and this showed how much he hated those so-called 'two guys'.

"They claimed to be 'Miyu's family', but Miyu didn't know them. I didn't pay much attention to them at first, but they claimed to be from the 'Sakutsuki family' and used this as an excuse to hope to adopt Miyu."

Having said that, Emiya Shirou's eyes became gloomy, and negative aura seemed to be overflowing.

"It's nothing. Even if I don't like it, I wouldn't hate them if it was truly for Miyu's own good. But my intuition tells me they don't care about Miyu at all. Even though they keep saying things like 'I hope she can come home' and 'It's better to be with her family', they don't care about Miyu at all!! I absolutely can't let go!!"

At the end, Emiya Shirou's voice was very decisive!

But then he sighed.

"However, I asked Mr. Fujimura to consult with relevant experts. If my father is still alive, they have no right to fight for custody. After all, all the main family of 'Sakutsuki' died in the Rumbling. The other party is probably a branch family of 'Sakutsuki', and my father adopted Miyu through formal procedures."

"But now that my father has passed away, even though I'm Miyu's nominal brother, I have no blood relationship with him. I was also adopted by my father. The other person might be a distant relative, but as long as he's an adult from the Sakutsuki family, I'll be at a complete disadvantage if he fights for custody..."

At this point, Emiya Shirou's voice became even deeper.
