Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

The trip back and forth was indeed quite time-consuming. After all, a trip to the Einzbern's house basically meant crossing half of Fuyuki City.

"Okay, have you told them?" Toosaka Rin had no objection.

"I said it." Emiya Shirou nodded.

"So how many people are there at today's dinner?"

Elquet, who was sitting next to Toosaka Rin, spoke excitedly. She preferred the hustle and bustle, and so did Fujimura Taiga.

"On our side, there are six of us, Rin, Sakura, Fuji-nee, Jeanne, Saber, Elquet and me."

"Illya and the others, there are three of them, Illya, Sera, and Lijelite."

"Sajyo's side, Ayaka, Aika, Ayaka? Three of them."

"On the church side, there are Karen and Xiyeer."

"There are three more people left: Yicheng, Meizhu, and Teacher Kuzuki."

"There are seventeen people in total. It's a lot of people."

There were seventeen people, and the living room of the Emiya residence could not accommodate so many people, so after much thought and discussion with Illya, they decided to hold the dinner at the Einzbern residence.

Illya didn't have any objection. After all, it would be quite lonely in such a big castle with only four of them.

Although Hercules cannot appear in front of ordinary people, he is also a member of the family to Illya.

"Why are there two Ayakashi?"

Matou Sakura asked a soul-searching question.

"The blond one, I don't know his name, but when I called, Ayaka said she just happened to have something she wanted to ask Toosaka, so she would bring her over as well."

"Is that so? But this presents a new problem that I have overlooked."

Toosaka Rin nodded slightly. There were so many things to deal with at once that she even forgot about this matter: why Nero Chaos, the Akasha Snake, would capture the blonde Ayaka.

Who is she? I didn't think much about it at the time and just let Ayaka take her home. Now that I think about it, I feel that she must have a lot of secrets.

"Aige is coming too."

At this moment, Fujimura Taikawa seemed to have thought of something and spoke with some emotion.

"Hmm? Fuji-nee, do you know Sajo Aika?"

Sakura Matou seemed a little surprised. Ayaka Sajo was a student of the private Hogunhara Academy, and she and Rin Toosaka were both in Class A of the second year, so it was normal for Fujimura Taiga to know each other.

But according to Sajo Aika and Sajo Ayaka, her sister basically stays at home every day, watching soap operas, muttering about the blonde prince and blah blah, and occasionally going out only to get into trouble.

Naturally, these troubles have nothing to do with normal people, so Sajo Ayaka is having a headache.

The fact that Sajo Aika, who basically doesn't communicate with outsiders, has a connection with Fujimura Taiga really surprised everyone else in the car.

"We haven't known each other for long. I just saw a few black wild dogs chasing her that day, so I rescued her."

"That's all?" Toosaka Rin was also very interested.

"No, it was already late at night, and I thought it would be dangerous for her to be alone, so——"

"Sent her home?" Joan of Arc couldn't help but add when she heard Fujimura Taikawa's pause.

"No, Aige said she didn't want to go home and wanted to go out for a walk, so I took her to the playground!"

As he spoke, Fujimura Taiga's face was filled with relief, as he had saved a fallen girl.

Meanwhile, at Sajo's house.

"Sister, aren't you going to go?"

Sajo Ayaka got dressed and looked at Sajo Aika who was lying on the sofa like Ka You, and asked.

"no, do not want!"

Ai Ge's tone was firm, and waves of chills ran up her spine as she recalled the fear of being dominated by a tiger-like woman that day.

"That woman will go there. If I go there, I will die!"

"Which woman?"

"You don't need to know. Anyway, I'm not going!"

Aika Sajo immediately grabbed the quilt and buried her head in it.

Then, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

Sajo Ayaka's painting style instantly changed to line colors.

"I'll just say it once—go ahead."

Chapter 1153: Palus, it’s time to get to work

"Wow, is this Illya's house? It's really big!"

Standing at the gate of the Einzbern family courtyard, Fujimura Taiga kept rubbing his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.

"master!!!!"

At this moment, a voice of great surprise came from the courtyard in front. Illya ran towards Fujimura Taiga with joy on her face.

“Illya!!”

Fujimura Taiga also waved his hands happily, and ran towards Illya while waving.

Then the two of them hugged each other tightly in the courtyard. Under the falling flowers, this scene was extremely moving.

"What are they doing?"

Toosaka Rin was holding a lot of things and looked at Lijelite who was scattering flowers next to Illya and Fujimura Taiga with a twitching face.

"I don't know, maybe I'm too excited!"

Shirou Emiya shrugged. He couldn't understand Sister Fuji's train of thought.

"Welcome to the Einzbern family—"

Sera politely welcomed Shirou Emiya and the others at the gate of the Einzbern castle.

"Where are Kallen and the others?"

Toosaka Rin put the things in her hand in the hall, shook her shoulders and asked.

"Ms. Karen, Ms. Hierer, they have arrived."

"Quite fast."

"Aren't you too slow?"

As soon as Toosaka Rin finished speaking, Kallen's voice came from the corridor beside her.

"The Holy Church is so close to the Einzbern family. We have to cross most of Fuyuki City to get here. No matter how you think about it, you must have arrived first."

Hearing Kallen's words, Toosaka Rin spoke in annoyance.

"Once you arrive, things will get busy right away."

Xier also walked out from the corridor, looked at the large and small bags in front of him, and waved his hand slightly.

"Then come over quickly and take inventory of the things to see if there is anything missing. Then we can go directly to the commercial street and buy everything we need."

Shirou Emiya waved in the direction of Kallen and Hieiel.

At this time, Jeanne d'Arc and Sakura Matou had already skillfully taken out all the things inside, which were basically various New Year decorations.

If it were at Emiya's house, these things would be enough, but facing the Einzbern castle, even decorating a few important areas would not be enough.

"Didn't you invite us? Why should we do anything——"

Kallen opened her dead fish eyes and stared at Shirou Emiya. She knew that coming here early would mean something bad, as they were guests.

"Now that you're here, help me."

Shirou Emiya also smiled a little embarrassedly. It seemed that it was not a good idea to let customers do hard labor.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter whether I do it early or late."

Kallen wanted to say something, but continuing would only be a waste of time. It was obvious that what was to be done today was not something that Shirou Emiya and his men could handle.

Xiel was even more direct. She came directly to Shirou Emiya and started helping him pack his things. She looked like a caring and intimate big sister.

Seeing Xiel's fierce attack, Kallen also moved over.

"Tsk!"

Toosaka Rin made a very unhappy sound, and then moved towards Matou Sakura.

Then, a piercing gaze pierced directly through Emiya Shirou's chest.

"Did I do something wrong again?"

Shirou Emiya's face was full of innocence, and he was really concentrating on packing his things.

"I'll record the things I brought, and then compare and eliminate them according to the things needed for the room to be decorated to see what else is needed."

Sera also came forward, took out a pen and paper, and took notes very seriously.

"Thank you for your help." Emiya Shirou thanked him.

"No, this is what I should do." Sera smiled and started to get busy.

As for everyone else.

Altria walked in the courtyard and was stunned by the familiar scenery inside.

Illya and Lijelite took Fujimura Taiga on a tour, and for some reason Elquet followed them even though they had been here once before.

Maybe he wanted to see what the specific differences were between the Millennium City where he was, but more likely he found the interaction between Fujimura Taiga and Illya very interesting so he followed them.

Then----

"Disciple number one!"

"Illyasviel is here!"

"Disciple number two!"

"Arquette is here!"

“Drink!!!!!”

? ? ? ? ?

"Wow!!!!"

Anyway, it was really fun.

"Finally the inventory is complete, but there are still a lot of gaps!"

"The decoration is not bad, after all, the atmosphere is enough, but the food is lacking."

Sakura Matou sighed slightly, there were totally not enough ingredients.

“We are a little short of manpower.”

While muttering, Toosaka Rin rolled her eyes in thought and revealed a malicious smile.

"You want to gather them all to help, right?"

Kallen immediately understood what Toosaka Rin was thinking of writing.

"The more people there are, the higher the efficiency."

In fact, it is————"I am also a guest. You can't let me be the only one to do the hard labor. We should suffer together."

After all, to some extent, everyone except Emiya Shirou is a guest.

This is also why at the beginning, Fujimura Taiga asked Emiya Shirou to prepare all these things alone.

But time is very tight now, and even if Shirou Emiya is very efficient, it is impossible for him to complete so many things by himself.

"Shirou, you and Sakura go to the kitchen and process the existing ingredients."

"I'll go too! I'm more familiar with the Einzbern's kitchen."

Sera suddenly spoke up, fearing that the cooking task would be contracted out to Shirou Emiya and Sakura.

At the same time, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes towards Emiya Shirou.
