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

"Two Asura gold coins a month. I heard you've slain a red dragon. You should be able to afford that amount, right?"

"of course."

Since Paul gave him all the money he got after killing the Red Dragon, Shirou is now basically a nouveau riche. Although he hasn't checked the exact amount in the magic crystal card, he estimates it to be at least a thousand gold coins.

Of course, Shirou is not the kind of person who spends money recklessly. Gold coins are certainly external things, but for Shirou, who has managed the entire family account since childhood, every penny must be spent carefully.

"By the way, Miss Kyrie, once I arrive in Roya City, could you perhaps arrange some work for me?"

Shirou couldn't help but speak up, "Although I have slain the Red Dragon, I still don't plan to do nothing but practice swordsmanship. It would be best if you could also arrange some work for me."

"Yes, I can ask the Boreas family to arrange a job for you. With your abilities, you should be able to easily gain their approval."

Kyrie Irvine was clearly very confident in Shirou.

After experiencing the previous test, she was almost certain that Shirou had the ability to slay the red dragon, meaning that he was definitely a top-tier adventurer.

Shirou, however, was still somewhat uneasy, because he knew very well that he was able to kill the Red Dragon by relying on the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, but he would not usually use that ability easily.

Suddenly, the conversation stalled again.

The carriage continued to sway and rock as it moved forward, passing through a grassland.

"Speaking of which, Shirou, you used that strange magic during your previous battles, didn't you?"

Kyrie Irvine suddenly started the conversation himself, “It’s that kind of magic that creates weapons out of thin air.”

"Yes."

"Can you teach me that kind of magic? If I can learn such magic, I won't get into trouble even if I don't have a weapon."

As an adventurer, Kyrie Irving has obviously experienced situations where his weapons were taken away. If Shirou had used his sword magic in those situations, he could have created weapons out of thin air and wouldn't have been at a disadvantage.

"Well... I can try to teach you, but I don't know if you can learn it, Kyrie Io."

"It's enough that you're willing."

Kyrie Irwin nodded. She clearly didn't have high expectations; she was simply trying to start a conversation and break the awkward silence between them.

Shirou then realized that Kyrie Irwin was actually a kind person. He just didn't know how to talk to people, but he was actually concerned about the people around him.

Thus, with Kyrie Irwin taking the initiative to speak, Shirou was able to smoothly engage in conversation with him.

Shirou learned a lot about Roa from Kyrie, knowing that it was the most prosperous city in the territory of Fituia, and that the Boreas family was the ruler of that city.

The Boreas family also has an eldest daughter who is learning swordsmanship from Kyrie Irvine, but her personality seems to be very irritable, which makes her progress in the Sword God style quite slow.

After arriving in Roa, Gilead will try to find Shirou a job within the Boreas family, and will try to choose an easy job that is well-paid.

Shirou felt it was unnecessary, but Kyrie Irvine seemed to care quite a bit about money.

The two gradually became familiar with each other through their interactions.

As time passed, the carriage gradually left Bouyena Village and headed towards Roya City.

A new story is about to unfold!

Chapter 94: Teaching the Lord's Granddaughter Swordsmanship?

After traveling for nearly two days, Shirou and Kyrie Irwin finally arrived in Roa City around dusk.

As the largest city in the entire Fetoia territory, Roya exudes an indescribable sense of prosperity and grandeur even from afar.

Although compared to the various bustling metropolises that Shirou had seen in his previous life, Roya's level might only be so-so, but in a world with an average medieval level, Roya was already a vibrant and huge city, and could be described as incredibly prosperous.

As the carriage drew closer, the first thing that came into view was the city wall.

The city is surrounded by a sturdy wall that is about seven or eight meters high.

The city was surrounded by a moat and connected by a single road, clearly designed to prevent illegal immigrants from sneaking in.

The massive city gate stood in the center of the city wall, with carriages coming and going around it. Before entering the city, every carriage and passenger had to undergo inspection and have their passes checked.

As a guard of the Boreas family, Kyrianu naturally had the relevant passes.

She was allowed to pass through with almost no hindrance after showing her identification.

Shirou was thus able to enter Roa City with Kyrie Irvine.

Upon entering the city, Shirou immediately saw rows of open-air stalls, and the surrounding streets were lined with numerous houses, including several shops resembling stables and inns.

The patrolling knights, clad in armor, mingled among the townspeople and merchants, maintaining order and preventing crime.

Faced with such a fantastical scene, Shirou couldn't help but have complex thoughts, realizing that he had truly entered a different world completely different from the past.

This also proves that he probably won't be returning to Buyena village for quite some time to come.

At the same time, Kyrie Irwin noticed Shirou's mood and the orc female swordsman spoke up as if to take care of him, "Shirou, is this your first time in Roa?"

"Yes, or rather, this is the first time I've left the village of Bouyena."

"Really? Then it seems you don't know much about big cities. Let me introduce them to you."

As he spoke, Kyriano pointed to a building not far away, outside which a large number of people carrying large luggage were sitting on benches that looked like long benches. “That’s the waiting area for public carriages. Generally, people use those carriages to move from one town to another, or they pay some money to merchants for a chance to hitch a ride.”

Afterwards, Gilead pointed to each shop and told Shirou which one was a weapon shop, which one was a tavern, which one was a branch of the Adventurers' Guild, and which one was one of those suspicious shops.

Although she appears rough and fierce, she is actually a gentle and even kind woman.

Shirou confirmed this once again.

The carriage continued on its way, and after passing through a corner of the town, the atmosphere changed.

The roadside was lined with shops catering to adventurers, such as weapon and armor stores, but further on, the shops seemed to be geared towards town residents.

This was clearly a special plan by the city's administrators. When enemies attacked from the outside, the people around the gate and the adventurers in the outer area would be responsible for defending them first, while the town's residents could take advantage of this time to escape to the depths of the town or in the opposite direction.

At the same time, the city seems to have been divided into an outer city and an inner city.

The further you go into the city, the taller the buildings become, and the more shops that cater to high-end and luxury goods appear.

Under such circumstances, the area located in the very center of the city is undoubtedly the most prestigious place in the entire city of Roya. In fact, it looks incredibly prosperous and vast just from the outside.

"This is the residence of the Boreas family, the lords of Roya City."

Kyrie Irvine silently made his explanation.

Shirou stared in disbelief at the enormous building before him; after all, this house was more like a castle than a building.

Moreover, the castle is surrounded by numerous signs of battle, and the walls are etched with the marks of time, indicating that the building was clearly not recently constructed.

Seeing Shirou's confusion, Kyrie explained quietly, "The main city of Roa was originally a fortified city that fought against the demons four hundred years ago. After the Boreas family took over the place, they used this fortified castle as the core and expanded the surrounding towns to their current size."

"With fortress cities as the core?"

"Yes, the Boreas family has always revered martial prowess and is keen to demonstrate their abundant martial virtue. So even though many important figures in the capital consider Roya's castle to be just a crude and dilapidated building, the Boreas family sees it as the best place to establish themselves."

Kyrienu silently explained, "This has led to a consistently poor relationship between the Boreas family and the central nobles of the capital. However, given the Boreas family's status as one of the four great lords, many nobles still cannot exclude the Boreas and have to maintain respect and enthusiasm on the surface."

"The complex relationships among nobles..."

Shirou spoke with a helpless expression. Although he was good at handling interpersonal relationships, he did not like this kind of environment that was too scheming. Fortunately, the Boreas family did not seem to be a traditional noble family, so it should not be too unacceptable to him.

Kyrie Illusion, however, glanced at him from the side and couldn't help but say, "Shirou, what are you saying? Aren't you a nobleman yourself?"

"What? When did I become a nobleman?"

"Huh? Didn't you hear Paul mention that?"

Now it was Kyrie's turn to be surprised. "Do you know the full name of the Boreas family? Their full surname is Boreas Grerat."

"Bereas Grerat?!"

"Yes, Grerat is the highest-ranking noble surname in this country. Basically, only nobles at the level of the four great lords can use it. Paul was once the eldest son of another of the four great lords, the Notos Grerat family, and had the right to inherit the Notos family. However, he voluntarily gave up his noble power, fled the capital, and became an adventurer. So, as Paul's son, Shirou, you are strictly speaking a noble, and a noble of considerable status, even on the same level as Boreas."

"Paul is the eldest son of one of the four great lordly families..."

This shocking news almost scared Shirou to death.

The main reason was Paul's nonchalant demeanor; he couldn't possibly look like a nobleman from his appearance. In addition, Paul never mentioned his past, so Shirou only realized now what kind of guy his father was, a man with a story to tell.

"Wait? You're saying the Boreas clan is also Grerat, does that mean I'm related to them?"

"We're distant relatives, I guess. Although we might have been from the same family hundreds of years ago, now we're basically only connected by our surnames."

"..."

Shirou's heart was shaken once again.

Meanwhile, the coachman had already nodded slightly to the guards at the castle entrance before driving the carriage into the territory of the Boreas family.

Upon entering the mansion, Shirou was led by the butler to what appeared to be a reception room.

There are two sofas side by side in front of me.

For Shirou, this was like an interview. He knew he had to demonstrate the necessary abilities to gain the approval of the Boreas clan and get a job here.

So much so that he was instinctively a little nervous.

However, before his tension could spread, a sharp, even noisy, sound suddenly rang out from the scene.

"Where is he! Where is that brat who defeated the Red Dragon?!"

Rough footsteps accompanied by shouts came from outside the door.

A burly man forcefully opened the door and entered the room.

"!!"

Shirou was startled and instinctively looked over, only to find that it was an old man who looked to be around fifty years old. Although there were some white hairs mixed in with his dark brown hair, he still looked like he was in his prime.

Although he didn't know the other person's identity, Shirou immediately spoke up: "Nice to meet you, I am Shirou Grellard."

"Grelat?"

The old man seemed surprised to hear such a surname.

Gilead, who was standing nearby, immediately pointed out: "My lord, Shiron is Paul's eldest son."

"Paul's eldest son? Paul's eldest son defeated the Red Dragon?"

The old man seemed utterly surprised by the answer, and then looked at Shirou with an almost condescending attitude.

Most people might be instantly overwhelmed by the other party's terrifying aura, and at least wouldn't dare to look such a majestic old man in the eye. But Shirou didn't have that sense of awe. After experiencing that snowy night, fighting seven Heroic Spirits, and even defeating the Red Dragon in this world, his heart was almost unshaken by external things.

Seeing Shirou's attitude, the old man's eyes seemed to sharpen even more. He suddenly grabbed his cane and smashed it directly into Shirou's back.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out, and Shirou didn't have time to dodge, or rather, he didn't really intend to dodge, and he took a solid hit from the other party.

"it hurts……"

The sight of Shirou being hit startled Kyrie Il, who was standing nearby.

She quickly interjected, "Lord Sauros, Shirou is just a child..."

"shut up!"

At the old man's angry rebuke, Gilead dared not utter a word.

The old man looked at Shirou again and snorted coldly, "This arrogant attitude is exactly the same as your old man's."

"Feel sorry?"

Although Shirou pretended to be in a lot of pain, the blow from the cane didn't actually hurt him much. The old man didn't seem to really want to hit him; he was just putting on an act.

Is the old man's name Sauros?

Is he the lord of this territory?

After he heard that I was Paul's son, he beat me up, so it really was all Paul's fault!

Shiro felt helpless about Paul's tendency to cause trouble for his son.

The old man suddenly spoke up: "Hmph, whether you really defeated the Red Dragon or not, since you are Paul's son, don't expect to have a good life here! I heard you want to learn swordsmanship from Girenau, right? Well, I have one condition: you must teach my granddaughter swordsmanship. Only then can you stay in this castle!"

"Teach your granddaughter swordsmanship?"

"What? You don't want to?"

"This……"

Seeing the old man's expression, as if he were about to hit him with his cane at the slightest provocation, Shirou was truly at his wit's end and could only nod silently: "Alright, I agree."

Chapter 95 How come everyone knows I killed the Crimson Dragon?

"Hmph, he's different from Paul in that he's decisive in making decisions."
