So fast! !

Loki quickly discovered an almost exaggerated scene: the Grellat family ate faster than anyone could imagine. Even Senis, who looked elegant, wolfed down her food when faced with Shirou's cooking.

Isn't this a bit exaggerated?

Luo Qixi simply couldn't understand why these people were so obsessed with a mere dish.

Isn't cooking simply a basic means of human survival to fill one's stomach?

As a former adventurer, Loki couldn't help but have this thought in her mind.

However, this idea vanished instantly after she tasted a bite of the food on the table.

The sudden explosion of flavors made her lose all her thoughts on the spot, leaving only one word echoing in her mind.

This dish is absolutely delicious!

Chapter 32 Green Pepper Dishes?

Loki never expected that Shirou's cooking would be so delicious.

Although she had anticipated that such a colorful, fragrant, and delicious dish would taste good, Luo Qixi only realized how huge a misunderstanding of food she had after actually taking a bite.

It turns out that food in this world is not just for replenishing the energy needed for survival or simply satisfying a hungry stomach. When the food is delicious enough, it can even make people feel genuine happiness and experience the joy and meaning of life.

"It's so delicious."

Loki praised the dish from the bottom of her heart, and like the rest of the Greirat family, she began to eat the food as quickly as possible.

"Hehe, everyone, eat slowly, no need to rush, I made a lot."

Shirou smiled when he saw that Rocci, like everyone else, appreciated his cooking.

He has put in a lot of thought and effort over the years to create dishes that suit the tastes of people in this world.

When he first arrived at the Grellatt family, he did create some delicious dishes that amazed his family, but that was only temporary.

Due to the many differences between this world and Shirou's world, such as the use of tableware and medieval eating habits, Shirou's cooking, apart from his initial fried rice which was indeed recognized by others, remained lukewarm and unable to improve further.

Ultimately, medieval dietary habits were his greatest enemy.

After all, people in this world generally only use knives and forks, and their food is mainly fried, roasted, or boiled, so they are not very accustomed to some delicate tastes.

To solve this problem, Shirou would always modify his dishes according to everyone's tastes whenever he cooked for the Grellard family.

For example, he tries to make his dishes so that they can be easily eaten with a knife and fork, increases the amount of grilled meat dishes, and pairs vegetables with the grilled meat as a side dish.

Shirou even invented hamburgers and sandwiches ahead of time, making plain bread into sandwiches with butter and cheese to enhance the flavor.

With so much effort, Shirou's cooking, if not completely perfected, can at least be said to be completely in line with the tastes of people in this world. Even if someone has never eaten Shirou's cooking, they will not be unable to fully enjoy the deliciousness of the food due to personal taste issues.

Shirou wasn't pursuing anything in this regard, nor did he want to become a professional chef.

For him, the dishes he put a lot of effort into making are enough to make him happy as long as they are recognized by diners.

As Loki ate the food Shirou had prepared, her opinion of him gradually began to change.

Although she still couldn't understand why Rudeus approved of Shirou so much, she had realized that Shirou was indeed a capable person.

After all, an incompetent person could not possibly put in the effort to create such a delicious dish that even the brain is amazed.

Loki believed that if Shirou could put in so much effort in cooking, he could certainly do things that ordinary people couldn't do in other areas as well.

Unfortunately, the opponent's magical talent was rather mediocre, which was a pity...

"Miss Luo Qixi, aren't you going to eat this stir-fried green peppers and pork?"

Seeing that Loki was lost in thought and had slowed down, Shirou couldn't help but speak up.

He had been subconsciously observing the actions of the blue-haired girl beside him, and noticed that although she had eaten all the dishes on the table, she had not touched the plate of stir-fried green peppers and pork.

As the only stir-fried meat dish on the table, cooked in a pan, Shirou had complete confidence in it, believing that even medieval people accustomed to eating grilled meat would praise it highly.

In fact, the rest of the Grellard family, whether it was Paul, Senis, or Rudius, had all been completely won over by Shirou's cooking, and the stir-fried green peppers and pork had even been devoured by more than half.

"Green, green peppers..."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Loki's expression became somewhat unnatural for some reason.

Although she looks young, she has always acted with the composure of an adult, giving people a sense of calm that is inconsistent with her age.

However, when she heard the word "green pepper," her behavior was very strange, like a child who resisted the taste of green pepper.

Yes, generally only young children particularly dislike eating green peppers and cannot accept their bitter taste. Adults who grow up a bit can usually get used to the taste of green peppers.

Therefore, Shirou did not suspect that Loki was resisting green peppers, but thought that she was simply resistant because she had never seen stir-fried meat dishes before.

He then said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, Miss Luo Qixi, although it's a special cooking method, the taste will definitely not be a problem."

"This……"

Upon hearing Shirou's high praise, Loki immediately wore a bitter expression.

As a demon, Loki once greatly admired human cuisine. Although most of the dishes were not as delicious as Shirou's, they were still quite palatable compared to the Demon Continent.

However, when Loki first arrived on the continent of Milis, the first vegetable she ate that plunged her from her belief that the human world was full of sweet food—a veritable paradise—was green peppers.

A unique bitter and foul taste spreads in the mouth.

Even if you spit it out immediately, the nausea lingers in your mouth.

For a time, she genuinely believed that green peppers were poisonous to the Migrud people.

However, after observing humans for a while, Loki discovered that green peppers were not poisonous; it was just that children often didn't like to eat them.

Therefore, as an adult, Luo Qixi was naturally embarrassed to say that she disliked green peppers and that was why she didn't want to eat that dish.

Moreover, neither of the two children present, Shirou and Rudeus, showed any discomfort with green peppers.

Left with no other choice, Luo Qixi could only, with a tragic and resolute attitude, carefully pick up a piece of green pepper and cautiously put it into her mouth.

"???"

The expected bitterness and stench did not come the next second.

The green peppers, cooked in a special way, emitted an aroma that resembled meat, and their crisp and refreshing texture almost made Luo Qixi stand up from her seat.

"This...this is a green bell pepper?"

Luo Qixi was shocked and looked as if her worldview had been shattered.

The members of the Grerat family, whether it was Paul, Senis, or Rudius, all looked at her with smiles, and had been watching Loki's expression since just now.

Laughter immediately spread across their faces, clearly indicating that they had already anticipated this would happen, since even members of the Greirat family were often amazed by Shirou's cooking.

Chapter 33 Not a genius, but better than a genius

Rudius will practice swordsmanship with Shirou and Paul in the afternoon.

Although Paul had already agreed to let Rudeus learn magic, he still discussed with Senis the possibility that Rudeus could also learn swordsmanship from him.

After all, Paul had always hoped that his son would inherit his skills.

Rudeus himself admired Shirou, so he agreed to learn swordsmanship.

Therefore, the sword training ground, which originally only had two people, now has two more people. Not only Rudeus, but also Loki has come along to visit the Grerat family's sword training.

For Loki, her purpose in visiting the sword training was twofold: first, to see what form Paul's sword instruction would take and whether it would conflict with her own magic lessons.

After all, if sword training is too tiring and leaves her with no energy to study magic the next day, that would be too bad for her.

Of course, Loki didn't think Paul would go that far.

Her reason for wanting to visit was to learn more about Shirou.

Even after eating the food, Loki still couldn't understand why Rudeus admired and worshipped Shirou so much, and she couldn't understand what made this boy so special.

After all, in Loki's opinion, Rudeus's sense of worship could not be influenced by cooking alone. There must be something deeper about Shirou that could make a child worship him so unconditionally from the bottom of his heart.

Since Shirou can't use magic, he might have a talent for swordsmanship that exceeds her imagination. As long as she can see that, Loki will be able to accept it to some extent.

Sword training soon began under Paul's guidance.

Because it was Rudius's first day of training and he was too young, Paul didn't give him a sword for training, and the training was mainly focused on physical exercise.

Examples include running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc.

Paul himself practiced and sparred with Shirou in another open space.

"Come on, Shirou, let me see how much your Sword God Style has improved!"

"Ok."

Shirou showed no emotion in the face of Paul's arrogant attitude. He simply gripped the wooden sword in his hand and entered a state of flow.

Having practiced the Sword God Style for so long, Shirou has gradually come to understand the foundation and main fighting methods of this style.

Simply put, the core principle of the Sword God style is speed!

UI.

If you are fast enough to make your sword reach the vital point before your opponent, you can easily defeat any powerful enemy.

Currently, Shirou's Sword God Style is only at the lower level. He cannot swing the sword at its fastest speed like a true Sword God Style swordsman, so he can only improve his sword speed through skill and constant practice.

"!!!"

As the air seemed to freeze for a moment, Shirou suddenly began to run forward. Although his body was moving, the wooden sword in his hand remained in a still position.

This is the most basic parry of the Sword God style, ensuring the absolute neutrality of the blade, allowing you to parry enemies and slashes from any angle!

"Very solid foundation..."

Seeing Shirou's actions, Loki couldn't help but offer her opinion.

Her evaluation was fairly standard, and she didn't give Shirou a very high rating.

Indeed, that is true.

"Snapped!"

As Shirou and Paul clashed, Shirou's wooden sword was easily knocked away by Paul after only a few exchanges with his opponent.

“It still doesn’t work, Shirou.” Paul looked at Shirou, whose sword had been knocked away, with a regretful expression. “You still have too many ideas. The foundation of the Sword God Style is Flow, but Flow is not about thinking too much. On the contrary, the Flow of the Sword God Style is about giving up thinking and swinging the sword in your hand with instinct, rather than considering how to win the battle. That’s what the Northern God Style does.”

"I understand……"

Although Shirou said that, he himself couldn't easily do such a thing.

After all, the combat technique of the Heroic Spirit Emiya is to think about how to counter the opponent, and to gain an advantage and win by changing different combat methods.

Shirou is heavily influenced by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, and during battles he almost instinctively thinks about how to defeat his opponent, finding it difficult to abandon his thoughts and completely rely on instinct in the fight.

Paul noticed this and couldn't help but say, "Shirou, perhaps you're not suited for the Sword God style. How about you try the Northern God style or the Water God style? I can teach you the techniques of those two styles."

"No, no need."

Shirou shook his head.

His will was very firm.

After all, in his view, whether it was the Water God style or the Northern God style, they were just the old paths that Heroic Spirit Emiya had walked. Perhaps with the help of Heroic Spirit Emiya's soul, he could easily show extraordinary strength in these two styles, and even quickly surpass Paul to become the Water Saint or the Northern Saint, but that would only further limit his potential and trap him within the limits of Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Only the Sword God Style, a power that is completely opposite to, and even contrary to, the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, is the only way for Emiya Shirou to surpass the Heroic Spirit Emiya and forge his own path!

"..."

Seeing that Shirou quickly reverted to his sword-wielding stance, using a sword that had almost no redeeming qualities other than solid skill, he fought against Paul.

They fought again and again, fell again and again, yet never gave up, as if they were pushing themselves to their limits until the very end.

A glint gradually appeared in Luo Qixi's eyes. She finally realized why she had always felt that Shirou was different from others.

This boy may not be as talented as Rudius, nor does he possess any extraordinary abilities, but his willpower is enough to overcome all obstacles.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

This is certainly considered by many to be meaningless comforting platitudes.

But in reality, those who think this is just motivational fluff are simply putting in far less effort than they have, or even beyond.

Humans have limits. Truly powerful people are not those who reach the limits they can reach, but those who can transcend their limits and reach a state beyond those limits.

In a sense, being able to transcend one's own limits and upper limits, and to develop the essence of being human to an unimaginable degree, can be considered the most terrifying talent.

Shirou will become an exceptionally outstanding person.

Luo Qixi became certain of this.
