Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

Although she was immediately overcome by the thick smoke when the fire broke out, and even after she managed to regain consciousness, she was still confused and disoriented, she still clearly remembered that Shirou appeared in front of her at the most critical moment and saved her.

Including the previous time, this was the second time Shirou had saved her, and Lillia's gratitude towards him was immeasurable.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Rudy?"

"Young Master Rudius is resting in the next room."

"I see."

Shirou nodded and was about to get out of bed when he suddenly felt a tearing pain coming from his right shoulder.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered obvious burn marks on his right shoulder and chest, which made it difficult to exert any force on his arm.

"I'm sorry, Lord Paul and Lady Senis have already gone out. There is no one in the village who knows healing magic at the moment, so we can only do some bandaging."

"It seems we went a bit too far this time."

Although he said that, Shirou didn't really care about it. He believed that even if he had to do it all over again, he would make the same choice to save the people in danger.

Of course, such a serious injury has indeed brought him a lot of trouble. Not to mention practicing swordsmanship, even daily activities will probably be difficult.

"Where am I now?" Shirou looked around at his surroundings and felt that this place was completely unfamiliar.

Lilia immediately replied, "We are now at Mr. Roltz's house. The Greirat mansion has been burned down, and Mr. Roltz has taken us in."

"Roltz, huh? He's really caused him trouble..."

Shirou sighed. He didn't want to cause trouble for those around him because of his own reasons, but he also knew that things didn't always go as planned.

If he hadn't injured his arm, he would definitely have taken the initiative to do housework or cook for the Roltz family to repay this kindness.

But unfortunately, he absolutely cannot do such a thing now.

"But we can't just lie there and not move."

Shirou narrowed his eyes. Although half of his body was in pain, he was still able to stand up easily by his own will.

But before he could take a step, Lilia suddenly blocked his way.

"Lilia?"

"Young Master Shirou, please stop."

Lilia's expression was extremely serious, even bordering on serious. "Your body hasn't recovered yet; you must rest in bed!"

"...But I can still move around a bit, right?"

"No! This is for your health!"

"This……"

Shirou was stunned to find that Lillia cared so much about her body. He had originally planned to go out for a walk and do some rehabilitation exercises.

Just then, Rudius heard the commotion and came over from the next room.

"Brother Shirou, you're awake!"

"Yes."

Shirou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Rudeus was unharmed.

Before he could speak further, Rudeus suddenly exclaimed anxiously, "Brother Shirou, why are you up! You haven't recovered yet, you need to rest in bed!!"

"???"

Shirou was both delighted and exasperated that Rudeus, who had previously ignored him, would suddenly show such importance to him.

Judging from Rudeus and Lilia's eager expressions, his plan to go out for rehabilitation training was definitely doomed to fail.

Although he had always hoped to improve his relationship with his family, once the relationship improved, the concern from those around him brought a lot of trouble, which really left him both amused and exasperated.

Chapter 27 Shirou, Senis is my wife!

Shirou, Lillia, and Rudeus lived together in the Roltz house.

Because of the severe injuries he sustained in the fire, Lilia and Rudeus have been taking care of him for the past few days. Both of them have shown extreme concern and do not want anything to happen to him. They do not even allow him to get out of bed and take care of him the whole time.

Shirou felt both warmed by the concern from others and helpless at their excessive care.

After all, Shirou knew his body very well. Due to the fusion of his soul with the Heroic Spirit Emiya, his body recovered much faster than ordinary people.

Unless it's a fatal injury, most wounds can heal on their own; it's just a matter of how quickly.

Of course, in order not to expose this, Shirou could only pretend that his injuries had not yet healed and that he was lying in a hospital bed receiving care from his younger brother and maid.

During this process, Shirou also met Roltz and Roltz's wife.

The couple cared for him a lot and often brought him food, which made Shirou feel very embarrassed. He thought that he must repay their kindness after he recovered.

At the same time, Shirou also occasionally sees Roelz's daughter, Hilfiet.

Because of her naturally green hair, Roltz worried that she would be bullied by her peers, so he kept her at home, which meant she never had any contact with outsiders and was therefore quite shy.

However, perhaps because Shirou had given her some dried fruit before, she was quite friendly towards Shirou and often came to visit him.

Shirou was naturally very happy about this and often chatted with Sylphie.

However, Shirou soon discovered a problem: his younger brother Rudeus seemed to resent his interactions with Sylphie and would often interrupt their conversations.

Koshirou couldn't understand why Rudeus disliked such a well-behaved little girl as Sylphie, and since he couldn't figure it out, he could only ignore it.

Time just passed by day by day.

Finally, around the fifth day, Paul and Senis ended their journey, departing from the big city of Roya and returning home after seeing their old friends.

……

Paul and Senis had originally planned to make the round trip in one day and then end their journey.

However, due to a monster disturbance that occurred along the way, the two volunteered to join a nearby adventure group to help eliminate the monsters attacking the village.

They initially thought it would only be a few days' delay and wouldn't cause any problems.

But when the couple returned home and found the Grerat mansion in ruins, their expressions changed drastically.

"Shirou! Rudeus!!"

Paul was horrified when he saw the houses reduced to charcoal; he felt as if the sky had fallen.

Senis, who was traveling with him, almost fainted on the spot, but Paul quickly supported her and prevented her from losing consciousness.

They never expected that just being a few days late would cause such a commotion in their home, and they were filled with extreme regret.

Fortunately, some villagers had been waiting for the two of them, and as soon as they saw them return, they came up to explain everything.

After hearing that Shirou, Rudeus, and Lillia were all alright, the couple finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to Roltz's house.

"Paul, Senis, you've arrived."

Shirou's injuries were almost fully healed, and he greeted the two with a smile.

"Shirou!" Senis hugged Shirou tightly the moment she saw him, tears welling up in her eyes. "Thank goodness, it's so good that you're alright."

"This……"

Shirou was taken aback by Senis's apparent concern for him, and then gave a bitter smile.

In his previous life, he had almost never felt the warmth of a mother. He experienced the fire when he was young and lived with his adoptive father, Kiritsugu Emiya. He thought he would never experience the taste of maternal love in his life, but he never expected to meet Senis, such a good mother, in this life. He was deeply moved.

On the other side, Paul was also deeply moved, his emotions fluctuating.

But as the head of the family, he had to remain calm, so he immediately went to Lilia to ask what had happened.

"Fire?"

After learning what had happened from Lilia, Paul and Senis looked at each other in bewilderment.

The two clearly hadn't expected their house to suddenly catch fire, especially since it happened right when they were leaving. The odds of this happening were incredibly small; it felt like fate was playing a cruel trick on them.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." Rudeus hurriedly raised his hands, unable to escape his mistake. "I accidentally knocked over the candle while I was reading, and I also accidentally fell asleep... It's all my fault."

"This……"

Seeing Rudius so sincerely admit his mistake, Paul and Senis naturally couldn't blame him anymore.

Moreover, Paul and Senis were more concerned about something else than the house being on fire.

"Rudy, I heard you used a mid-level water magic spell to extinguish the flames?"

After learning about the situation from Lilia, Senis came to Rudeus, slowly squatted down, and looked into his eyes with a gentle expression.

Although the gaze was very gentle, even warm, Rudius felt inexplicably nervous and dared not lie in front of those eyes.

In the past, he might have chosen to run away in this situation and give up, but after experiencing this, he realized that running away wouldn't solve the problem.

A sincere attitude is most needed at times like these.

Regardless of what you think in your heart, you should at least be sincere on the surface.

"Rudy, don't worry, Mom is just asking about you. Did you use water magic?"

"I'm sorry, I've been secretly practicing in the attic."

Rudeus assumed the other person was angry about his secret practice of magic and quickly apologized.

"Really? Intermediate magic?"

Paul, standing nearby, seemed surprised by the answer, but both Shirou and Lillia could testify to it, leaving him no room for doubt.

"Wow! Honey, did you hear that?! Both of our kids are geniuses!"

Senis's shouts drowned out Paul's speech.

She clasped her hands together and jumped around happily, her lively demeanor completely devoid of her previous seriousness.

Paul was speechless. He couldn't believe that he, a mere high-ranking swordsman, had two sons who were both incredibly talented.

How can a father be under so much pressure?

While Paul was feeling troubled, Senis excitedly exclaimed, "Let's hire a tutor right now! Rudeus will definitely become an excellent magician in the future!"

"Ah? So early?"

"Of course, you should start teaching magic from a young age, since neither you nor I are magicians!"

Senis's emotions came and went quickly.

Without consulting Paul at all, she made the decision to hire a tutor to teach Rudeus magic, and then slowly approached Shirou.

"do not move."

Seeing Shirou's strange expression, Senis gently lifted his clothes.

Upon seeing the obvious, gruesome scar running from Shirou's shoulder to his chest, the blonde woman gasped.

Senis hugged him tightly, her face full of sorrow, and cried, "I'm sorry, Shirou, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. If I hadn't made that decision to go on that long journey with Paul, maybe this wouldn't have happened..."

"It's alright, Senis, it's alright."

Seeing the tears streaming down the woman's face, Shirou turned around and hugged her, patting her back gently as if to comfort her.

Just then, he suddenly noticed Paul standing to the side for some reason, looking very serious as he said to him, "Shirou, Senis is my wife!"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Completely baffled by Paul's outburst, Shirou wore a subtle expression.

He sighed helplessly, realizing that maintaining good family relationships was indeed a long and arduous task.

Chapter 28 The Arrival of the Tutor

The Grerat family moved into temporary accommodation in the village of Buena.

Although it was a much smaller house than the original Grerat House, it still had five or six rooms and was located at the entrance of Bouyena village.

Paul had plans to rebuild a house that was about the same size as the previous one, but building a house would require a lot of money.

Paul had been an adventurer for a long time and had some savings.

However, firstly, these savings have many uses and will eventually run out; secondly, his current salary as a knight lord is not much, and he lacks sufficient income.

After much deliberation, Paul had no choice but to temporarily postpone his plans to build a new house and have his family live in temporary accommodation before making further plans.

However, while Paul's house-building plan did not materialize, Senis's tutoring plan showed no signs of delay.

Senis was very concerned about her child's education, so she immediately went to town and posted notices hiring a wizard to serve as a tutor.

Paul naturally had some complaints about this, since he himself hadn't spent any money on building the house, but Senis was quite generous with the expenses for the tutors.
