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

Although he had successfully defeated the Eindsworth family and transferred his sister to another world, which could be considered a victory, upon reflection, he realized that if he had been stronger and single-handedly defeated the entire Eindsworth family, or even Angelica who used the Gilgamesh card, things might have been better.

Now that he has traveled to another world, he will naturally not let himself experience the same regret as before, and vows to protect his family well in this life.

So, after making his plans, Shirou sought out Paul the next day for formal sword training.

"Good lad, this ruthlessness is quite like mine."

Paul laughed heartily at Shirou's enthusiasm and earnestly taught him swordsmanship.

Sword practice in this world mainly focuses on swinging the sword and practicing standardized movements.

For example, using wooden dummy dummy stunts set up in the yard as opponents to confirm standardized movements and attack situations, or engaging in sparring to train footwork and weight shifting, etc.

Paul seemed to have a great understanding of swordsmanship, confidently instructing Shirou: "Shirou, the essence of swordsmanship practice is constant repetition. As long as you can do it like me..."

With that, Paul drew his longsword from his waist and cleaved the rock in two.

"You see, as long as it reaches this level, that's enough."

Is this enough?

Although Shirou felt that this level was nothing, having previously shattered the body of Berserker Heracles and the Noble Phantasm summoned by Archer Gilgamesh, he was still just a child. To split rocks, he would probably need time to train and achieve it.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. He wasn't an impatient person, so he naturally started by training little by little every day.

Moreover, now that my body has grown to the point where I can practice swordsmanship, doing housework should naturally be my duty.

So, the next day, Shirou proposed to Senis that he take over the responsibility of doing housework for the Grellard family.

But this was undoubtedly opposed by Senis.

"Shirou, you are my child, how can I let you do housework?"

"This……"

Seeing Senis's unwavering determination, Shirou hesitated for a moment before finally giving in: "Then if we don't do housework, let's cook. I'm quite confident in my cooking skills."

Chapter 3 Lilya's Troubles

"Cooking?"

Although Senis didn't quite trust Shirou's cooking skills as a child, she didn't want to undermine his confidence and felt that children should try more things.

She hesitated before speaking, "It's possible to do it, but it would be best to ask Lilia for advice. If you really can't do it, it's fine to just let Lilia do it."

Senis felt that Shirou was simply trying to repay the Grellard family for taking him in, which was why he suggested cooking, and that it was a bit too much of a show of force.

Shirou saw through Senis's thoughts, but he didn't bother to explain. He simply nodded silently and said, "Don't worry, I'll learn a lot from Ms. Lilia."

He then quickly headed towards the kitchen.

……

The woman named Lilia is a maid temporarily hired by the Grellat family.

She was originally a palace guard in the Asura Kingdom's harem, but she was injured in the foot by an assassin with a short sword. Although the wound was immediately healed by healing magic, it left her with sequelae.

Even though his daily life was not affected, he could no longer run at full speed or take quick steps forward, for which he was dismissed from the palace.

With nowhere else to go and not wanting to get involved in political turmoil, she came to the rural territory of Fituia to look for a job, where she unexpectedly ran into Paul Greirat, an acquaintance from the past.

Because they were old acquaintances, Paul hired Lilia without hesitation, and Lilia demonstrated excellent talent, managing the mansion in an orderly manner.

Paul was delighted and gave her a significant raise.

Lilia was originally very satisfied with her job, but recently she has been experiencing some troubling troubles.

The source of the trouble was the newborn child of the Greratter family, Rudius Greratter.

As Paul and Senis's first child, Rudius showed some unusual traits from birth.

On the first day after his birth, Rudeus did not cry. He just looked up with an emotionless face, without uttering a sound, until he belatedly realized what was happening and began to cry.

At the time, Lilia thought it was just a mistake, or perhaps some kind of accident at birth. However, a few months after Rudeus was born, he began to show abnormal behavior.

This child would sneak into any part of the house, including the kitchen, the back door, the storage room, the cabinet where the cleaning tools were kept, the heater, etc. He even broke into the second floor, and we have no idea how he climbed up there.

However, for some reason, Rudius would never go outside, although he would sometimes look out the window, but he would never leave the house.

What Lilia found most unacceptable was the occasional expression Rudeus occasionally revealed.

The child often has a very strange smile on his face.

Sometimes I'd be looking at the vegetables in the kitchen, sometimes at the flickering flame of the candle on the candlestick, sometimes at the underwear waiting to be washed, and I'd suddenly burst out laughing.

It was a smile that made people physically uncomfortable.

When Lilia was still working in the harem, she had seen a similar smile on the face of the kingdom's obese minister, who stared at his own chest with a lewd expression.

She never expected to see such a smile on a baby's face.

When Rudius is wrapped up, the boy becomes even more terrifying. His nostrils flare, his mouth pulls up, he gasps for breath, and he buries his face in his chest, then his throat trembles as he makes a laugh that is somewhere between a slur and a groan.

At that time, a chilling cold would often wash over Lilia's entire body.

The chill even made her want to smash the baby she was holding to the ground.

Something's wrong with this baby. Maybe it's possessed by something evil, or cursed.

Feeling uneasy at the thought of this possibility, Lilia hurriedly went to the item shop and used her meager savings to buy the necessary items.

After everyone in the Grerat family had fallen asleep, she performed an exorcism ritual passed down in her hometown.

The next morning, she tried to pick up Rudius, only to find that she had wasted her time the day before; the child was still just as disgusting.

He was somewhat restrained when facing Senis, but when it came to himself, he was like a little devil possessed by lewdness.

If things continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue doing this job and will have to retire early and return to my hometown...

Lilia couldn't help but feel discouraged.

However, just as she was about to break down, a pair of relatively small hands took Rudeus from her arms, and the red-haired boy calmly said, "Ms. Lilia, are you not used to this kind of work? From now on, I will take care of Rudeus."

"Huh? Is this okay?"

Unexpectedly freed from her nightmare, Lilia stared blankly at the boy in front of her.

She recognized the boy in front of her as Shirou, the child Paul and Senis had taken in six months ago.

Although he was a homeless orphan, he was very well-mannered, especially his eyes, which were completely different from Rudeus's. They were filled with a unique heroic spirit of calmness and cheerfulness, like a man who had returned to an ordinary life after experiencing many hardships and maturing.

Although the other person, like Rudeus, is not a normal child at all, if she could, Lillia would still prefer that Shirou is the child born to Paul and Senis.

Of course, that's impossible no matter how you look at it.

“There’s nothing I can do, Lillia must be very troubled.” Shirou had been observing the situation at home and naturally noticed his younger brother Rudeus’s abnormality, but he didn’t care. After all, he had taken care of an even more abnormal child god, Miyu, so he just dealt with it as usual. “I’ll take care of him from now on.”

"babble--!"

A painful sound suddenly came from Rudius's mouth.

He seemed terrified of Shirou's presence, even though Shirou never hit or scolded him, nor did he ever show any sternness. Rudeus was filled with fear of his older brother.

Rather than saying he was afraid of Shirou, it would be more accurate to say he was afraid of the identity of his older brother.

Shirou didn't understand why Rudeus was so afraid of him, but he was more concerned about Lillia's attitude.

Lillia has been exhausted from taking care of Rudeus lately, and Shirou is really worried that she might suddenly break down one day, which would be terrible.

So he spoke slowly in a gentle voice: "In exchange for me helping you take care of Rudy, Lilia, could you allow me to cook at home from now on? You don't need me to come every day, just let me help out occasionally."

"How can this be possible?"

Lillia never expected Shirou to be so gentle, not only helping her solve the huge problem of taking care of Rudeus, but also being willing to share the workload with her.

Such a gentle child, coupled with the stark contrast of Rudius, almost moved her to tears.

"It's okay. I only wanted to cook because I enjoy it. I would be very happy if you would teach me, Lilia."

In order to give the other party a way out, Shirou chose to exchange the condition that Lilia teach him how to cook.

Lilia then showed an understanding expression and hesitated before saying, "Alright, then let me teach you how to cook, Master Shirou."

Chapter 4 Sons of Khorne and Sons of Slaanesh

Lilia decided to teach him how to cook. Although it was her suggestion, Shirou still felt a little uneasy when it came to actually doing it.

After all, this was, in a sense, the first time he had been instructed by someone else on how to cook.

In the past, because his father, Kiritsugu Emiya, was an absolute failure in daily life, his meals were basically all kinds of junk food, such as hamburgers, fried chicken, and supermarket bento boxes, Shirou had to learn to cook for himself from a young age.

Later, when Kiritsugu Emiya adopted Miyu, as her older brother, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of caring for his younger sister from a young age.

Not to mention cooking, she is proficient in all kinds of housework.

Therefore, Shirou is very confident in his cooking skills. The only problem is that due to the difference in time and environment, he is not very good at cooking European-style dishes, nor does he know how to cook with anything other than modern gas stoves.

However, this problem is not unsolvable, or rather, it has already been solved.

The reason is that he gained memories from the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

As a parallel world Shirou Emiya, the Heroic Spirit Emiya's living environment and growth experience are very different from Shirou's. The biggest difference is that after graduating from high school, the Heroic Spirit Emiya went abroad to study magic at the Clock Tower, and later, due to his sense of justice, he took the initiative to participate in the chaos in the Middle East.

In order to survive in various countries, Emiya studied the different cuisines of various countries, not only European styles, but also the special cuisines of various ethnic groups in the Middle East. He even studied how to make delicious food in the absence of modern electricity because of the difficult living conditions in some parts of the Middle East.

With the memories of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Shirou would be fully capable of cooking even if he returned to the primitive era.

He has been in this world for half a year now, and has been in the Grerat family kitchen countless times, so he is naturally very familiar with the cooking methods of this world.

"Let me cook dinner tonight."

Following Lillia into the kitchen, Shirou calmly approached the kitchen and began admiring the Grellard family's kitchenware, especially the kitchen knife.

As the saying goes, the kitchen knife is the soul of a chef. Whether as a swordsman or a chef, Shirou could not possibly not value the kitchen knife.

In fact, because Paul was a knight lord, the Grellat family's kitchen knives were of very high quality, and could be considered quite sharp even when used as weapons.

Shirou gently picked up the kitchen knife, and involuntarily displayed the movements he used to make when fighting and killing with dual swords.

"Shh-"

As a cold glint, like iron striking the earth countless times, flashed through the air, the kitchen space inexplicably froze.

Rudeus, who was lying on the ground, originally wanted to play around, at least to test his older brother Shirou's personality. However, after seeing the terrifying slash that Shirou casually made, the younger brother of the Grellard family immediately lost his courage, and even his crotch was slightly wet.

From that last stab, he could even feel the chill of impending death up close.

On the other side, Lilia's expression was also quite uneasy.

Rudeus's strange behavior from birth had already made her quite uneasy. She thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief after finally meeting Shirou, an obedient, intelligent, mature, and steady child. However, she didn't expect Shirou to be just as troublesome as she thought...

Just now, when Shirou casually swung his sword, Lilia even recalled that only a senior knight of the Royal Knights could make such a move, an aura that only a knight who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood could exude.

But that's clearly impossible.

Shirou looks like a boy of about five years old. How could he possibly have the aura of a warrior who has fought on the battlefield for a long time?

But one's own feelings don't lie. Although it might sound a bit boastful, Lilia believes she has a knack for judging people.

That's why she was able to see Paul's extraordinary talent at a glance back then...

something wrong.

Both children in this family have serious problems!

Leaving aside Rudeus, the obscene son possessed by Slaanesh, could Shirou, a seemingly normal and gentle child, also be a Khorne demon with a heightened bloodlust?

What kind of demonic family is this?!

When these two children grow up, won't they be facing a terrible hell filled with sex and murder?

Ah... I was too impulsive. I was so impulsive. I know I shouldn't have come to work in a place like this.

They will definitely be attacked someday.

Lilia's heart was filled with regret and fear.

At the same time, Shirou noticed the change in Lillia's attitude, and only then did he belatedly realize just how terrifying his murderous aura was to ordinary people.

There's nothing we can do about it. After experiencing that snowy night, Shirou fought with all his might to save his sister Miyu. His spirit and will were elevated to the extreme in that battle where he killed seven Heroic Spirits in one night. Afterwards, he merged with the soul of the Heroic Spirit Emiya. Now, it's almost impossible for him to act normally. He occasionally exudes an uncontrollable killing intent that is enough to freeze the souls of ordinary people.

But that's clearly not going to work.

I must control my murderous aura from now on, and at least not expose myself to ordinary people so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

"Ahem, well, Lilia, why don't you teach me how to cook?"

To make up for his mistake, Shirou treated the panicked maid with the kindest attitude he could muster, sporting his signature business smile.
