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

Gilead and Philip, having already visited the capital, did not experience much emotion.

"finally reached."

As the carriage slowly arrived at the city gate of the capital, Philip alighted and spoke with the guards protecting the city, presenting his travel documents.

After being given permission, the group was able to ride in a carriage into the center of the city.

As Shirou passed through the city gate, he was surprised to find that the guarding knights had a very peculiar way of moving, with a noticeable disproportion between the distance between the swords in their hands and their waists.

This is undoubtedly to enable the ability to draw weapons and launch counterattacks at extremely high speeds during combat.

In Shirou's mind, this skill was something only the Water God Style could do.

"Could these knights all be swordsmen of the Water God School?"

Shirou couldn't help but ask this question.

"You actually figured it out at a glance?"

Kyrie was surprised by Shirou's reaction and quietly explained, "The Water God Style dojo is located in the capital of the Asura Kingdom, so its disciples usually join the capital's knightly order after graduation, or serve as trainees in the capital's guard. Furthermore, since the Water God Style itself is a defensive school of thought, it is very suitable for serving as guards for nobles. So, without realizing it, the knights of the Asura Kingdom are basically composed of elite Water God Style swordsmen."

"I see."

Shirou nodded. The reason he could tell at a glance that these were all swordsmen of the Water God School was because he had studied the Water God School with Paul before.

Although Paul has a terrible personality, his swordsmanship is solid and his foundation is strong. He can clearly and directly explain many basic things about the three major schools of swordsmanship, so much so that Shirou's basic understanding of the three major schools is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Although he himself only outwardly uses the Sword God style.

The group officially entered the capital.

Although the capital city looks amazing from the outside, it's actually not that impressive once you go inside.

The town's interior looks no different from other cities.

Merchants and adventurers thronged the road, but there weren't many adventurers, and they were all novices who didn't seem to have much combat experience.

This is undoubtedly because the capital city has a powerful knightly order stationed there, which regularly clears out monsters from the surrounding area, making it impossible for ordinary adventurers to compete with a professional army.

It is worth mentioning that the roads in the capital are very wide, wide enough for six carriages to pass at the same time.

The road stretched all the way to the town's central square before finally ending.

"Let's find a hotel to stay in first."

Philip spoke slowly, "The auction is tomorrow, so take a good rest today."

"A hotel?"

Upon hearing Philip's words, Shirou was slightly surprised, "The Boreas family doesn't even have a residence in the capital?"

Logically speaking, the Boreas family is one of the four great lords. With such a noble status, they should have their own land in the capital, and it would be only natural for them to build a magnificent manor.

Philip seemed unwilling to elaborate, offering only a vague answer: "It used to exist, but it doesn't anymore."

"This……"

Seeing that Philip was unwilling to explain, Shirou could not force him.

The group then found an inn and, after paying a few silver coins, officially checked in.

Philip seemed to be a shrewd man; he found a decent hotel and booked only two rooms. He and Shirou shared one room, while Giren and Alice shared the other.

Alice didn't seem to have any intention of staying idle. After checking into the hotel, she started clamoring to go out for a stroll.

But this was undoubtedly stopped by Philip.

Although the capital city has relatively good public security, in a world without surveillance, no environment can be considered absolutely safe, so going out after nightfall is strictly prohibited.

Shirou also had the idea of ​​going out; he wanted to investigate the nobleman named Darius.

Yes, Shirou still remembers Darius's kidnapping of Alice. According to the bandits present at the time, Darius was a notorious villain who had kidnapped innocent noble girls like Alice countless times.

He treated innocent girls like slaves, toying with them at will before handing them over to his subordinates; they were essentially born into poverty.

Even by Shirou's standards, Darius is absolutely evil.

Speaking of which, Shirou only recently remembered that the Einzworth family, the enemy he faced in his previous life, was originally headed by Darius Einzworth, who was both his friend and enemy, and Julian Einzworth's father.

They were from two completely different worlds, yet they ended up facing the same adversary. Shirou couldn't help but marvel at how strange fate was.

In short, although Shirou really wanted to go out at night to investigate Darius, he couldn't act freely because Philip was sharing a room with him. He could only consider whether there would be an opportunity to go out and investigate later.

Time passed by gradually.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Alice knocked on Shirou's door impatiently, wanting him to take her out to tour the capital.

Shirou could completely understand Alice's eagerness.

He then consulted Philip and Girenouil and received their consent.

"I'm going to an auction with Girenu next. You guys can wander around the capital as you like. Remember, you must be back at the inn before nightfall, or I'll send the Knights to find you."

Philip spoke with a smile.

Although it sounds like a joke, Shirou always felt that if it were the other person, they would definitely do such a thing.

He nodded vigorously, indicating that he would take good care of Alice, and was then forcibly dragged away from the hotel by the red-haired girl.

The capital city was so prosperous that it was too large to be fully seen with the naked eye.

Alice was undoubtedly very curious about the city. Once she stepped out, she had no intention of stopping and looked for interesting things wherever she went.

In order to prevent the other from getting lost, Shirou had to do everything he could to keep up with the other's pace.

But this is still an extremely difficult task.

So he simply stopped following Alice and instead found a place where he could easily climb, jumping directly onto the roof beams of the surrounding houses.

With his Eagle Vision ability, he could clearly see Alice's bright red hair even from a great distance.

This way, Shirou won't be led by the nose by Alice.

However, after reaching a high vantage point to view the city, Shirou quickly discovered that this seemingly glamorous city was not without its share of evil.

At least, he saw many similar robberies and thefts with his own eyes.

Shirou, as a champion of justice, would certainly not stand idly by in the face of such an evil event.

He acted decisively, resolving several thefts and robberies, and handed the criminals over to passing knights. He had no intention of showing off and quietly disappeared into the shadows.

However, Shirou was unaware that his actions were being closely observed by a blue-haired knight girl.

And the girl was clearly very attentive and interested in him.

Chapter 121 Going to challenge the Water God School's dojo!

On the streets of the capital.

Shirou has once again solved a theft case.

A young woman was shopping in front of a store when, just as she was about to pay, a pickpocket suddenly jumped out of the shadows, snatched her purse, and quickly fled.

The young woman was both startled and panicked, because it was obvious that she could not catch up with the thief, and there were clearly no knights or guards around.

As the other party was about to take her only possessions and escape into the alley, the woman was filled with despair.

"Snapped!"

However, just before the tragedy was about to happen, a red-haired boy suddenly emerged from the shadows. He was incredibly agile, as if he had anticipated the thief's escape route, and rushed towards the fleeing thief at lightning speed.

The thief, not expecting any uninvited guests, decisively pulled out a dagger from his pocket amidst the chaos.

This scene terrified all the passersby.

Everyone was worried about the red-haired boy.

"Clap!"

However, what happened the next second left everyone speechless.

The boy, empty-handed and without even taking out any extra weapons, grabbed the thief's wrist and executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw!

"boom!"

The thief's back slammed hard against the ground, scattering his wallet and other stolen goods all over the floor.

"Bravo!!"

"Wow, you're really handsome, buddy!"

"Are you a professionally trained knight?"

"When did the capital city produce such a talented young man? Would you like to arrange a blind date with my daughter?"

"..."

The atmosphere in the capital was no different from that in other parts of the Kingdom of Asura.

While the public applauded Shirou's act of bravery, many women also showed him their affection.

This was clearly due to the prevailing atmosphere within the Kingdom of Asura itself.

This country has been fighting against demons for many years, and has produced many powerful heroes in its history, so most people admire the strong and have a special fondness for young people with great strength.

In particular, young people like Shirou, who possess both great strength and righteous deeds, remind the kingdom's people of the human heroes of the founding era, causing their favorability towards him to skyrocket.

Many of the girls who witnessed the scene earlier showed expressions of admiration for Shirou.

Even the young woman who had just lost her wallet started to look at Shirou with a strange expression.

"..."

Shirou is still somewhat unaccustomed to this atmosphere in the royal capital.

Ever since he was born in Buena village, he has really been bad at interacting with the opposite sex.

The main issue is that he always feels that the women around him have a strong desire to invade his territory...

To be honest, it scared him quite a bit.

After returning the wallet to the young woman, Shirou intended to leave immediately and take the thief to the Knights' prison.

Unexpectedly, the young woman grabbed him and insisted on thanking Shirou, even suggesting they have dinner together, her eyes practically drooling with desire...

Shirou couldn't stand this kind of situation.

He had already had a hard time dealing with Mrs. Somar in the village of Buyena, but he never expected that something similar would happen in the capital.

Am I some kind of wife-collecting machine?

Moreover, Shirou currently needs to find Alice to prevent her from running away like a wild dog and disappearing, so he naturally won't do anything else.

Just as Shirou was looking troubled, wondering how to forcefully get out of his predicament, a figure dressed in the standard armor of the Knights suddenly walked over from a distance.

"Excuse me, what happened here?"

The voice is very clear and crisp.

Shirou turned his head and found a girl with long blue hair standing in front of him. She had the manners and temperament of a Yamato Nadeshiko or a noblewoman. However, her armor and her movements, which clearly showed that she had received formal training, proved that she was a true knight.

Shirou, not daring to underestimate the other person's appearance, quickly recounted what had just happened.

"I see, thank you for your help."

Hearing Shirou's words, the blue-haired girl seemed to have expected it. "I am Isorty, a trainee knight of the Royal Capital Knights. I will bring this criminal to justice. Could you please come with me and explain the details?"

"of course can."

Shirou was surprised that this knight lady would come to his rescue, and he also showed a grateful expression.

Although the young woman standing to the side was reluctant to part, she dared not be too flamboyant in the face of a knight from a knightly order, and could only give up and let go of Shirou's hand.

Shirou then left the scene with Isao Ruti.

"That's about it."

After walking a short distance, Izoruti suddenly stopped.

Shirou was taken aback for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You stepped in to help me?"

"Yes."

The blue-haired girl's expression brightened. "I actually noticed your act of bravery earlier. To be honest, I admire you a lot because I don't have the speed to deal with these scoundrels myself."

"No speed? Are you some kind of Water God?"
