Shirou genuinely harbored such doubts.

Otherwise, why would the other party have such ruthless and inexhaustible stamina?

However, no matter how gifted Alice is, she is still just a nine-year-old girl, and her physical strength is eventually reaching its limit after such a depletion.

In contrast, although Shirou was only a few years older than Alice, he had studied the Sword God Style and clearly understood how to conserve stamina in battle, and even take time to recover stamina.

He could easily spend several more hours with Alice without any problem.

"call……"

Seeing the red-haired girl lying exhausted on the ground, he couldn't help but exhale, feeling as if he had just fought an amazing battle with a monster.

After the battle was decided, he came to Alice, intending to help her up and end the farce.

To everyone's surprise, Alice was actually cheating. She still had a sliver of strength left, and the moment Shirou got close, she grabbed his wrist and suddenly pushed him to the ground.

"!!!"

I never expected to fall for a girl's trick, and most importantly, I never expected that she would still have the strength to do so at this point.

Shirou had no time to react and could only try using enhancement magic.

Although it was very cheating, Shirou didn't want to experience being beaten up by such a beast.

However, Shirou soon realized that he did not need to use magic.

Alice overestimated her physical strength. The moment she flipped Shirou over, the red-haired girl was completely exhausted. Although she was still straddling Shirou tightly with her knees pinning him down, she no longer had the ability to swing her fists. She had barely raised them before they fell back down in exhaustion.

"Clap."

The girl collapsed unconscious.

Shirou quickly hugged him and helped him up.

For a moment, even someone as kind-hearted as him couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

"Isn't this job a bit too difficult?!"

Chapter 98 The Unconquerable Young Lady!

Alice Bereas Grerat.

The young lady of the Boreas family was completely unexpected by Shirou. She was nothing like the young lady he had imagined. No, she had absolutely no resemblance to him.

While Shirou himself doesn't have any memories of encountering wealthy young ladies, the memories of the Heroic Spirit Emiya are full of people with such backgrounds.

One of the most memorable characters is Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, the bickering couple.

Rin Tohsaka goes without saying. As the rightful heir of the Tohsaka family, she not only inherited the family's magic crest but also its status, making her the undisputed eldest daughter of the Tohsaka family.

Unfortunately, the Tohsaka family has been in decline since her generation. Their economy and wealth have been declining. Although she is nominally a young lady, she is no longer as prestigious as she used to be and often has to work part-time to supplement her family's income.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this reality that Rin Tohsaka does not have the arrogance of an ordinary young lady, nor is she a sharp-tongued person. On the contrary, the Rin Tohsaka in Emiya's memories is very gentle, even kind, and considerate of others in every way, only occasionally saying some willful and capricious things.

As for Luvia, as the daughter and one of the next heads of the famous Finnish magic family, the Edelfelt family, her status is many orders of magnitude higher than that of Rin Tohsaka. Because of this, she has the aura of a young lady from every angle. Not only does she have a French perm hairstyle, but she also speaks with a polite and aristocratic air.

The only slightly strange thing is that the other party, like Rin Tohsaka, is particularly good at physical skills. She is a young lady who can do backflips and perform acrobatic spinning stunts!

In short, Alice, the eldest daughter of the Boreas family, completely surprised Shirou, and he never expected things to turn out this way.

Most importantly, this child is clearly extremely stubborn.

Shirou had already exhausted the opponent's stamina to such an extent that the opponent was able to set up traps for him based on almost beast-like instincts.

It's conceivable that even if Shirou were to truly get angry and beat the girl up, it's unlikely that she would suddenly become obedient.

They might even become more aggressive towards themselves out of anger, and could even kick themselves out of the Boreas family.

That would undoubtedly be the worst possible outcome.

"Maybe I made the wrong choice."

Shirou sighed, feeling that his resistance this time might not have been a good thing. Perhaps Alice didn't actually hate him that much. If he had just obediently let her beat him up, maybe the girl would have accepted him without hesitation.

However, there's no point in regretting it now.

Shirou's choice has clearly enraged the other party. It's unknown how the girl will react to his actions when she wakes up.

Moreover, as long as Alice remains unwilling to accept him, Shirou will be unable to complete the task given to him by Sauros and will be unable to learn the swordsmanship of the Sword God style from Kyrie Il.

Without a doubt, Shirou was in dire straits.

"Should we force her into submission?"

Shirou clenched his fist. His strength far surpassed Alice's. If he wanted, he could easily suppress the girl with force and disregard her wishes, making her obey any of his commands.

However, once this option is chosen, the consequences will be directly out of control.

Alice may become completely estranged from herself.

Even if they outwardly obey your orders, they will inwardly reject themselves and even develop a lifelong hatred for themselves.

Moreover, would the others in the Sauros and Boreas family be willing to see him use force to suppress Alice?

Even if Philip outwardly supports himself, he probably wouldn't want to see his daughter get hurt.

"Ugh……"

Realizing he had unknowingly become a dead end, Shirou sighed deeply.

He first took Alice, who was so exhausted that she was unconscious like a cat that had just finished its fuss, back to her room and handed her over to the maid. Then he returned to Philip's side with a wry smile on his face.

"how do you feel?"

"To be honest, it was even more tiring than when I killed the Red Dragon."

Shirou spoke with a rather helpless expression.

He had come to a complete understanding of what kind of person the eldest daughter of the Boreas family was—no, not a person, but a monster in human skin.

Philip seemed to have expected this outcome, and asked with a smile, "So, are you going to give up?"

“It’s not time to give up yet.”

Shirou shook his head. Even if Weizhen were in that situation, Shirou would never shirk his responsibility. He would do everything in his power to face reality and try to resolve the crisis even if he knew it was impossible.

This is his belief.

So, Shirou took a deep breath and slowly said, "Can you entrust Alice's affairs to me completely? I don't know how long it will take, but I will try my best to make her accept me."

"Ah."

Seeing Shirou's attitude, Philip nodded slightly.

Without saying much, he directly addressed the butler beside him: "In that case, take Shirou to his room, Thomas."

"Ok."

The butler, named Thomas, nodded and led Shirou deeper into the Boreas family compound.

Philip assigned Shiro a non-standard guest room.

Every item in the room looked very high-end, with a large bed, exquisitely decorated furniture, beautiful curtains, and brand-new bookshelves.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the private room of the Boreas family.

Is it because he is Paul's son and a member of the Grellat family?

Is it because I killed the red dragon that they want to recruit me?

Shirou had a question in his mind, but he felt that both possibilities should exist.

While Shirou was deep in thought, he noticed that maids soon came in to tidy up the room, and for some reason, many of the maids were beastmen with animal ears and tails.

Come to think of it, Gilead is also a beastman, isn't he?

Could it be that this family has a special fondness for beastmen?

Shirou instinctively had questions, but he didn't think too much about it, assuming it was just a preference of the Boreas family when hiring maids.

He then slowly sat down on the bed in the room and placed his luggage on the floor one by one.

Although he was not injured at all during his fight with Alice, he was really exhausted, and even had some back pain.

The thought of having to continue dealing with that beastly young lady made Shirou honestly feel a little troubled.

However, the distress only lasted for a moment.

He is not the kind of person who is anxious about gains and losses.

Once a decision has been made, it must be carried through to the end.

That's the kind of man he is!

Therefore, after resting for a day, Shirou went to the mansion where Alice was the next day without being discouraged.

To his astonishment, Alice refused to even let him meet her this time, turning him away without a word.

No matter how much Shirou knocked on the door, there was no response from inside, as if his calls were ignored.

Although it was something he had expected, when it actually happened, Shirou still felt a deep sense of helplessness.

If they can't even meet, let alone teach her swordsmanship, they won't even be able to get Alice to accept them.

Left with no other choice, Shirou had to go to the family training ground in Boreas to practice his swordsmanship.

Since he couldn't find Kyrie Ian to practice with, he could only repeat the Sword God style that he had already learned.

Such a young swordsman of the Sword God style naturally attracted the attention of the knights of the Boreas family. None of them had ever seen Shirou before, and they never expected that such a young boy would have such solid basic skills. After witnessing his performance, they all applauded him.

The captain of the knight squad even came personally to invite Shirou, hoping that this young man with outstanding strength at such a young age could join Boreas's guard.

But this is clearly not a decision Shirou can make.

Just when Shirou was in distress, it was Gillenor who happened to meet him.

"Shirou is my disciple, so please don't bother him anymore."

"So he's a disciple of Master Kyrie Irvine. No wonder he's so extraordinary!"

Upon hearing Gilead's words, the knights nodded in agreement, and their attitude towards Shirou became more respectful.

This demonstrates just how respected the Sword King is in this world; he represents the pinnacle of personal martial prowess.

After dealing with the knights' harassment, Giren led Shirou to a quiet open space.

"Thank you, Gilead."

"It's okay, it's easy."

Kyrie Irvine shook his head. "The problem still lies with you. If you can't gain Miss Alice's approval, I can't directly teach you the Sword God Style."

Gaining Alice's approval was the condition for learning the Sword God Style from Kyrie Illusion.

At least that's what that Sauros demanded.

Gilead was clearly unable to defy Shros's orders.

Shirou was then in a dilemma, because Alice was now unwilling to even see him, so no matter how many skills he had, he couldn't use them at all.

Seeing Shirou's helplessness, Kyrie Irwin also fell into deep thought and couldn't help but offer a suggestion: "Speaking of which, I remember that Lady Alice admires adventurers, especially the legendary powerful adventurers. The reason is that I once told her about my own experiences as an adventurer."

"so?"

Shirou looked puzzled, unsure why the other person had brought this up.

Kyrienu then quietly spoke up: "Because she admires adventurers, Miss Alice often pays attention to news and rumors related to them, especially about the dragon slayers in the territory of Fituia. The young hero who killed the red dragon is the object of Miss Alice's great admiration."

"what?"

Shirou never expected this to happen. "Then why does she hate me so much?"

"Well, rumors always like to be embellished. Through the spread of various taverns and bards, the boy who slaughtered the red dragon has evolved into a young, wise, and powerful man with an aura as turbulent as a tsunami and a voice as moving as thunder."

Kyrie Irwin spoke with a complicated expression, "Miss Alice believed such rumors, so naturally she can no longer believe that someone as unassuming as Shirou is the true dragon slayer who killed the Red Dragon..."

"Is it my fault for looking plain?"

I never expected that this young lady would be so focused on looks.

Shirou sighed. For a moment, he even began to envy the Heroic Spirit Emiya. If he had a tall and burly figure like Emiya, he would surely meet Alice's requirements.

Wait a minute?

If it's just a change in appearance, I'm not without the ability...

Recalling the snowy night in Fuyuki City, and the brief yet incredible state he experienced when he merged with the Heroic Spirit card of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, Shirou thought of a possible method.
