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

The only thing that really bothered me was Thomas, the butler Gilead had mentioned.

In Shirou's own mind, the other party could be considered the culprit who directly caused Alice's capture.

But the other party seemed to have concealed it very well, so the entire Boreas family did not notice the problem. Alice herself was arrested at that time, and probably couldn't understand the problem with the butler.

It seems I'll have to remind them later...

"Well then, now that Alice is home, I'll be going."

Sensing that his magical power was gradually running out, Shirou didn't want to waste any more time and turned around, disappearing into the night.

"..."

As she watched the other person's figure disappear, a clear look of reluctance appeared on Alice's face.

But she also knew she couldn't stop anything.

The other party neither covets the wealth of the Boreas family nor has any special needs. If one wants to gain the other party's approval, the only way is probably to further improve one's swordsmanship.

"call……"

Alice gradually made up her mind that no matter what it took, she would definitely improve her swordsmanship until she saw the man named Emiya again.

……

Shirou returned to his room in the Boreas family compound.

As the dream summoning was dispelled, his appearance quickly reverted to that of a young boy, and because of the huge consumption of magic power, he couldn't even stand still for a moment.

"It's definitely not something you can use casually."

It could be that Shirou is too young, or that the card is fake and not genuine, or both.

The pressure of summoning magic is too great for Shirou right now, and it will probably take him a long time to fully recover his magic power.

Perhaps the current situation will be resolved as I get older or become more proficient in summoning in the future.

After finishing the card summoning, Shirou lay exhausted on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without the slightest hesitation.

In his dream, Shirou, for some reason, saw that familiar sword hill once again.

On Sword Hill, the figure of the red-clad, white-haired Heroic Spirit remained out of reach, yet Shirou inexplicably felt that the figure had become more real.

Does the justice you seek truly exist?

Suddenly, Shirou sensed a voice calling out to him from afar.

It could be a hallucination, or it could be some kind of echo from within oneself.

But in any case, Shirou will give a firm answer to this.

"Of course it exists, and I will continue to pursue it relentlessly until the very end, until I die!"

"..."

The red-clad, white-haired heroic spirit seemed to find Shirou's words amusing. He didn't turn around, but simply waved his hand before his figure vanished, as if merging into the sandstorm.

Shirou himself felt that the surrounding sand dunes had become brighter, and the swords had become more real than before, as if the swordsmith had gained a deeper appreciation for him.

Chapter 109 The Butler's Madness! Alice's Kidnapping!

Due to the drain from the Dream Summon, Shirou slept soundly for a whole night before finally getting out of bed, exhausted.

Although his magic power had largely recovered, to be honest, his spirit still couldn't withstand the high-intensity combat rhythm of his Heroic Spirit form.

Fortunately, his opponents last night were not strong. If he had encountered a sword king-level enemy like Gilead, he would probably have been drained dry in one go.

Even though his body has not fully recovered, Shirou cannot force himself to rest at this time.

Because he knew very well that Alice's kidnapping was not truly over.

Although Shirou himself has rescued Alice and dealt with the kidnapper leader who abducted her, and tied up all his henchmen, waiting for the Boreas family to find out, the complexity of this matter is, in some ways, beyond imagination.

After all, the kidnapper leader had clearly stated that he had a powerful noble backer. Shirou had to keep a close eye on the Bereas family's movements and, if necessary, provide them with hints so that they could discover the truth.

With this plan in mind, Shirou immediately left his room.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he ran into the butler, Thomas.

This steward of the Boreas family is clearly the mastermind behind the kidnapping, but the Boreas family has not yet begun investigating him. Furthermore, since he is not the direct mastermind but an accomplice, he has not yet been discovered to be a participant in the kidnapping.

However, Thomas himself is clearly in a state of panic.

The news of Alice's return kept him awake all night. His noticeably pale face was filled with frustration, and he was plotting how to escape before everything was exposed.

Shirou, naturally, wouldn't allow the other party a chance to escape, and immediately rushed over.

"What brings you here, Butler?"

"Well, well, Lord Philip asked me to take you to the living room for a meeting."

"Ok."

Shirou was somewhat surprised that Philip would take the initiative to come to him, but he still nodded slightly.

He and the butler arrived at the Boreas family's living room and found that most of the Boreas family members were gathered there, including Alice, Sauros, Philip and Philip's wife, as well as Girenouille, who served as a guard.

Accompanied by a beast-eared maid, Sauros sat in the main seat of the room, with Alice sitting beside him, looking quite displeased.

Philip and his wife were also somewhat uneasy at this moment, clearly unable to withstand the imposing presence of Salos.

Among those present, only Kyrie remained relatively calm, and when she saw Shirou arrive, she showed a gentle attitude and remained as affectionate towards him as ever.

Shirou had mixed feelings about this.

After all, he still clearly remembered the murderous intent that Gilead showed him the night before.

While it was certainly because she had concealed her identity, Kyrie Irwin's strength as the Sword King made it impossible for anyone to treat her as an ordinary woman.

"Everyone is here."

When Shoros saw Shirou arrive, he nodded slightly and let him sit in the seat below him.

Shirou looked back in confusion, not understanding what it meant.

Because he had clearly realized that this was a family meeting of the Boreas clan.

Is this something that an outsider like myself can participate in?

However, judging from the way Sauros was acting, it was clear that he was being forced to participate, so Shirou had no choice but to sit in the lowest seat.

At the same time, after completing his task, the butler Thomas quickly stepped aside to minimize his presence.

"Alright then, Philip, what do you want to say to me, kid?"

Sauros spoke decisively, his voice booming as he looked sharply at Philip.

"I must report to you, Father, that it was my dereliction of duty that Alice was arrested."

"Negligence? Is one word, 'negligence,' enough?"

A glint flashed in Sauros's eyes, like the gaze of a raptor. "Not only did you let Alice be captured by bandits, but you also let her be rescued by an outsider. You didn't even find out who rescued Alice, and you didn't give them enough courtesy and reward. Do you think you did a good job?"

"Yes... I made a mistake."

"Philip!"

Suddenly, Shoros spoke loudly.

Philip, as if receiving some kind of command, walked towards the other party at an extremely fast speed and half-squatted in front of Sauros.

Shoros, without hesitation, swung his fist.

"boom!"

The old man's iron fist struck Philip's face without any mercy.

After taking that punch, the latter's entire body was thrown into the air before crashing to the floor.

As the head of the family, he actually used an iron fist to beat his son.

Shirou, who grew up in the Emiya and Grellard families, had never seen such a fierce family style.

In that instant, he completely understood why Alice had become the way she was now...

After beating Philip, Salos rebuked him mercilessly: "Hmph, you piece of trash, find the person who saved Alice right now! And treat them with the utmost reward and courtesy. Our Boreas family will never be ungrateful ingrates!"

"Yes, I understand."

Philip nodded. "I've already asked Girenu and Alice for details about the nameless hero's appearance. I'll then issue a bounty throughout the entire territory of Fetoia, and even the Kingdom of Asura, to ensure that we find that person as soon as possible!"

"Hmph, this is not bad."

Sauros nodded, finally showing some approval of Philip.

Philip, still lying on the ground, remained calm. He seemed to be used to being beaten by Sauros and said frankly, "Regarding this kidnapping incident, I have arrested all the kidnappers. Although the interrogation has just begun, I am almost certain that the mastermind behind the kidnapping is a big shot in the capital."

"Tsk, is that guy?"

Both Sauros and Philip seemed to have something to do with the powerful nobles behind the kidnapping.

However, they were clearly afraid of the other party's power, so even though they had enough evidence, they didn't dare to use it to attack the other party.

Given the current status and situation of the Boreas family, it is highly unlikely that they can overthrow an entity of that level.

Soros pursed his lips and silently skipped the topic, saying, "Fine, fine, keep investigating. Just compile all the information you find and give it to me. We'll settle the score sooner or later."

"Ok."

Shoros finally plopped down on the empty sofa.

Philip breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his original seat.

Meanwhile, seeing that the family meeting seemed to be coming to an end, Shirou naturally couldn't let any criminal go unpunished.

Taking advantage of a brief moment when things calmed down, he suddenly spoke up: "Um, can I say something?"

"??"

Unexpectedly, Shirou suddenly interrupted.

Everyone in the Boreas family looked puzzled.

Alice, in particular, had a complicated attitude toward him, a mixture of dissatisfaction and a strange sense of expectation.

Shirou, unaware of the others' reactions, only looked at Shoros, who was clearly in charge.

"Of course, you can say whatever you want."

Sauros was quite open with him, even indulgent.

Because the other party's attitude was too friendly, Shiro often suspected that Paul was the other party's illegitimate son and that the other party treated him like a grandson.

Shirou dismissed the strange thought from his mind, looked at Sauros seriously, and said, "I think there are some suspicious things about the fact that Lady Alice was kidnapped."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Shirou speak, Philip looked at him with great interest.

The butler, Thomas, suddenly trembled.

Without pausing, Shirou continued, "On the day Miss Alice was captured, I originally intended to go find her and have her learn swordsmanship from me. However, not only did I fail to find her, but after inquiring with the maids, I heard that the butler Thomas seemed to have taken her away."

"Really? Do you see anything wrong with that?"

Philip seemed to have developed a slight appreciation for Shirou, and his attitude towards him became more interesting.

"Miss Alice was staying in her room, but Thomas suddenly took her away, and then she was inexplicably kidnapped. Isn't all of this too much of a coincidence?"

"Thomas, explain this to me!"

As soon as Shirou finished speaking, Zoro looked at the butler beside him with an imposing attitude.

Upon seeing this, Thomas was so frightened that he rushed out and exclaimed in panic, "No, I was just taking the young lady out. I didn't expect kidnappers to suddenly appear. Besides, I notified the adults immediately after it happened!"

Thomas adopted an innocent stance, and indeed, he hadn't done anything too wrong; at least he reported the incident immediately after it occurred.

This is also why he hasn't been caught red-handed yet.

"Ah."

After listening, Sauros also felt there was no problem, so he turned to look at Shirou again.

Shirou then slowly spoke up: "Even if you notified them immediately, why did you take Alice away from the castle in the first place?"

"This……"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Thomas and Alice both showed expressions of panic.
