Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

He spent his last time with his family, and finally passed away peacefully after handing these drafts to his family.

After understanding the oripathy and the infected people, this open ending will make people feel a little sad.

It is a kind of sadness that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, but the infected people understand it very well.

"Really are…"

After flipping through a few more pages and making sure that they were all meaningless, Emiya closed the book.

This kind of novel that doesn't require much thinking is easy to read and can be finished in a few hours.

In comparison, Emiya has not even finished half of Mr. Blood's first book.

If Minmin didn't look like she was about to die every day, Emiya might have asked for advice with the questions in the book.

After all, the snow pheasant only has a relatively superficial understanding of these things.

"Have you finished reading it? What do you think?"

Ah Xing, who was standing by, asked while swiping his phone.

He has been following here for the past few days, saying that he wanted to get to know the way, so that if Emiya and Anso are not available in the future, he can take the people over for them.

But the real purpose is to determine the situation here.

It's not what he said, it's okay to ask for help secretly, it's normal for children to be easily deceived.

But Shirou really trusts others too much.

Take himself as an example, he was trusted after helping for a few days and was even given the important responsibility of being able to come and go freely and helping to look after the cash register.

Although he has retired from criminal activities, he still looks like a bad guy! Didn't you see how scared the kids were at first?

“I don’t have any feelings. I feel that many places have been beautified.”

Emiya responded as he put the book on the shelf.

Although this book is a best-seller, it has many embellished parts, especially when describing other people's views on the infected, almost glossed over the negative parts.

"Of course, how can we improve public acceptance without beautification? Books that are too bloody, dark and realistic do not meet the needs of the public."

After hearing what Emiya said, Xing said helplessly.

He himself is one of the masses, so he can understand this degree of beautification.

"I know. After all, this is an inspirational book."

Emiya said with a shrug.

It’s not that he hates this type of book. He even plans to buy a few copies and put them in Fuyuki Store for everyone to read.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I've received news that there have been many cases of missing infected people in the slums recently. Please pay more attention to it."

We didn’t stay on this topic for too long, after all, Axing didn’t understand the infected people.

So he changed the subject and said that he had known about this matter a long time ago, but because it was still a small-scale matter, he did not tell Emiya.

After all, the channel through which he obtained information was a little special.

But now it’s different, this matter has gradually spread, and the whole slum is in chaos because of it.

He had to give Emiya a shot of prevention. He was not worried that anything might happen to Emiya. Instead of worrying about Emiya, he should worry about himself.

He was worried about the children inside.

Especially those who often go out because of the need to repair electrical appliances.

So these days, when handing over electrical appliance repair orders, Ah Xing basically follows along himself.

"Hmm? The infected are missing?"

Hearing what Axing said, Shirou frowned slightly.

Like Xing, Emiya was not worried about himself first, but about others.

"Yes, no one knows where the people have gone. If there weren't so many missing people, they might not have been found."

A Xingduo revealed some things. Compared with what was circulating outside, he had more information.

"Didn't the Guard Bureau intervene?"

When he heard about the large number of missing persons, the first thing Emiya thought of was the Imperial Guard Bureau.

After all, they are kind, law-abiding citizens, and when they encounter a problem, the first thing they turn to is the Guards, unless the situation is truly dire.

"The Guard Bureau... may not have enough manpower. Besides, the missing ones are all infected, and they are from the slums."

Seeing that Emiya seemed to trust the Guard Bureau, Axing explained in a slightly more tactful tone.

After all, Sister Xingxiong is in the Guard Bureau. If she knew that I said bad things about the Guard Bureau, she might have to drink for several days.

The kind of wine he paid for.

Thinking about Xingxiong's drinking capacity and then thinking about his own wallet, Ah Xing became polite in his words.

"That's it."

After hearing what Axing said, Shigong probably understood what the other party meant.

"Ahem, but I can tell you that the Imperial Guard Bureau actually started investigating a long time ago, but they don't have a lot of manpower, so the progress doesn't seem to be very fast. So far, they have prevented some infected people from being taken away."

Seeing that Emiya began to fall into self-doubt, Xing hurriedly shared some more confidential information with Emiya.

Oh my god, if Emiya starts to suspect the Konoha Bureau, what awaits him will not just be an empty wallet, he might even end up in ruins.

Although Xingxiong did not say it explicitly, he has done this much. If he says that he has no intention of poaching Kakuma Emiya, Axing will not believe it at all.

"That's it."

After learning these things, Emiya's depressed mood improved a lot.

"Don't tell me about the rest. I got the information from other places. It would be bad if it affects the case."

Ah Xing said unhappily.

Emiya is still too young and doesn't understand the darkness of society.

It's not good to be affected by just a little thing.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xing always feels that Emiya... seems to have grown taller and stronger?

How is that possible? If he remembered correctly, Emiya should have passed the puberty age, how could he still grow taller?

I guess it’s because I’ve been with children for too long, so when I meet someone taller than me, I think that person is too tall.

"Well, thanks."

Of course, Emiya understood this.

At the same time, he also thought that Ah Xing had been going out frequently recently, probably to handle work that required him to go out.

After all, Ah Xing usually doesn't like to go out, but he has suddenly become so diligent recently, which makes An Suo wonder if this guy is too pent up and that's why he runs out so often.

As for the disappearance of the infected people in the slums...

If he didn't know, it would be fine, but now that he knew, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

120 Emiya gradually becomes a motherly woman

After sending everyone back to the Fuyuki store with Axing, Emiya arranged everything and left.

I've been late for dinner quite often recently, and although no one has mentioned it too much, Emiya still feels a little embarrassed.

So after explaining everything to everyone and cooperating with Rhodes Island's treatment and shift scheduling, I reminded Axing and Anso to keep the children out less recently, and we can contact each other via the mobile group for other matters later.

Technological progress has made it very convenient. Many things no longer need to be discussed face to face.

Emiya, who was still using flip phones, sighed.

"Hmm... But if I want to see the situation, this outfit is not suitable."

Riding a bicycle on Longmen Street, Emiya kept thinking about what Axing said to him in the office.

Although the children are unlikely to be involved in this matter under the supervision of Ansou, Xing and Jie, Emiya is still a little worried.

So he decided to investigate a little bit, since it wasn't the first time he had done this.

During the Holy Grail War, I often went out at night to investigate things.

But considering that he was going to investigate the slums, he should change his clothes.

Now I am wearing very simple clothes and pants and a thin jacket with a hood. I basically pull the hood up when I go in and out of here.

He didn't want Penguin Logistics to get involved here.

Similarly, he didn't want the Penguin Logistics issue to involve Fuyuki Store.

As for the holy cloth, it is basically placed in the backpack. After all, wearing a scarf in such a hot day would be a bit too conspicuous.

Now, in addition to this outfit, he also wears the Penguin Logistics uniform jacket when he goes out.

If you are going to go deep into the slums, you will probably need to change into another set of clothes.

Although you say you need to replace it, you don’t actually need to buy it.

Having been with Penguin Logistics for such a long time, Emiya has watched many movies and novels with them.

As long as there is a purchase, it will leave a trace.

But... the projected one is different, it comes from his hands, and when necessary, he can directly draw out the magic power to make it dissipate, leaving no trace at all.

It is very suitable for doing this kind of thing.

But if you really want to project, you also need a template.

"As for the clothes... I remember that guy projected them."

It just so happened that Emiya had a memory of a red coat that Archer had projected in the past.

A slight modification of the size of the garment and the addition of a hood should be enough.

There is no need to worry about weapons. The only thing to worry about is how many dangers there are in the Longmen slums at night.

Everything is ready, all Emiya has to do now is wait for night to fall.

Now, let’s fill everyone’s stomach at Penguin Logistics first.

Quickening his pace, Emiya rode his bike quickly back towards the dormitory.

I came back early today, so the dormitory was empty.

I cleaned it before I went out this morning, so it was pretty tidy.

After preparing the ingredients purchased from the market, Emiya began today's cooking.

Considering that he has been running to Fuyuki Store all the time recently, Emiya hasn't updated his recipe library for a while and rarely makes desserts for extra meals.

That’s why I came back a little earlier today, just to make some desserts.

After careful consideration, Emiya decided to make a dessert similar to jelly this time.

But this time there was no tumor milk, instead, the black tea bag that Kong gave him a while ago was used.

The last time they were discussing birthdays, Emiya remembered that his birthday was in April.

It was only a few days ago when this discussion came up.

This means that Emiya has officially turned eighteen.

Although according to the certificate issued by the Emperor, he should be twenty-one years old.

Because it was a bit sudden, and Emiya himself had not thought about it, everyone at Penguin Logistics had no plans to hold a make-up birthday party, but a few people said that they must give him a big one next year.

But gifts are indispensable. Since Emiya asked not to spend too much, everyone found some things in their rooms and gave them to Emiya.

What Sora gave her was a bag of black tea that she had just received a while ago. It was given to her by a junior in the company, but after Emiya arrived, she had better black tea to drink, so the tea bag had never been opened. If she hadn't looked for it specifically, she might never have found it.

Originally she wanted to take something else, but Emiya said this was enough, so she took it and put it in the kitchen cupboard.

As for Exia, it was a recipe for apple pie, and Emiya accepted it but still had no intention of making it.

He didn't want to bake apple pies every day, so he just left it to Archangel.

As for Croissant, it’s simple. She doesn’t have much stuff, and most of them are small sundries like these.

I took a commemorative item and gave it to Emiya.
