Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Texas thought about it and gave an answer.

"Why is it a question? But red..."

Emiya recalled a certain red figure, not the one he hated, but the figure of a black-haired girl.

"Why are you asking about colors? Emiya, are you going to give Texas a present?"

The Angel of Exorcism put his hand on Texas' shoulder and then popped his head out from the other side.

"Emiya is giving Texas a present!?"

An unknown shriek came from Sora behind.

"Gift? What is what?"

Croissant came closer with a curious look on his face.

"It's not a gift, I just want to wrap the wire around my headphone cords, like this."

Emiya rummaged through the drawers of his desk and found the prototype he had made that afternoon.

The disposable chopsticks are wrapped with white thread, and there are no obvious signs of knots.

"Do you want to tangle the headphone cords again?"

Texas looked at the string on the chopsticks. It must have been wrapped with a special technique and then fixed with fire.

But she didn't quite understand the meaning of this.

"In addition to being beautiful, it also has the function of preventing pulling. This rope is quite strong."

Emiya picked up a rope and pulled it, demonstrating its strength.

"No trouble, right?"

Although Texas doesn’t mind appearance, she doesn’t mind if it looks better, as long as it doesn’t cause too much trouble to others.

"It will be ready in about half an hour."

After hearing what Texas said, Emiya took out the red wire and started wrapping it around the headphone cord.

"You're quite skilled... What did you do before that, Emiya?"

Exiah watched Emiya skillfully winding the thread, and then she remembered that Emiya had amnesia.

Even after losing her memory, she can still clean and cook perfectly, and can also repair electrical appliances. Now she seems to be quite skilled in using wires.

"Hmm? I think he's a student, right?"

Emiya responded to Exia's question while winding the thread.

"Students, they are quite young."

Croissant sat down on Emiya's bed.

“It’s great to be young.”

Sora also found a place to sit.

“I’ve graduated for many years.”

The Archangel also sat on it.

"Angel of Exia, did you get your diploma?"

Texas stabbed.

"As long as I feel that I have graduated, then I have graduated!"

Exia strikes back! At the same time, she pulls Texas to sit next to her.

"No, no, no, yours is called dropping out..."

Emiya, who was listening to the conversation between several people, couldn't help but stop what he was doing after hearing what Angel Exia said, turned his head and complained.

Then he saw the four people sitting on their beds. After a moment of silence, he slowly turned back and continued to wind the line.

The scene he just saw seemed a bit too exciting for Emiya.

"Oh? Emiya, you're very innocent! Have you never had a girlfriend?"

Seeing Emiya's reaction, Archangel couldn't help but jump in anger.

"Well... it's none of your business, right?"

Emiya was choked by what the Exiah said.

"Don't be shy, just tell me what you think."

Exia gave a wicked smile and continued to tease Emiya.

Emiya was concentrating on weaving the thread and didn't intend to pay attention to the Angel.

At the same time, I mentally ordered a red bean pie for the Archangel in the next few days... no, bacon pie!

Apple pie? No! Not even dessert!

14. Simple

Several days had passed since Emiya repaired the headphones and returned them to Texas.

At the same time, after not seeing apple pie in her meals for several days, Exiah realized her mistake and surrendered to the evil Lord Emiya.

Although he could buy apple pie for himself, Shirou would always collect the apple pie and share it with others for various reasons.

He will eat it himself when others don’t eat it!

The evil Lord Emiya has deprived her of her apple pie!

So she decided to apologize to Emiya sincerely.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have teased you. Please give me back the apple pie!"

Exia sincerely apologized to Emiya who was tidying up.

"Hmm...what should I do?"

Emiya deliberately dragged out the last syllable, looking like he was thinking seriously.

"I washed the dishes for this week's dinner!"

The Archangel held up his right hand with a sincere look on his face.

"Okay, I accept your apology."

The corners of Emiya's mouth curled up slightly, satisfied with the frustrated reaction of Archangel Exiah.

In fact, he didn't push her too hard, he just slightly reduced the amount of sweets that Archangel consumed.

But I didn't expect that the Sakota people seemed to really regard desserts as their life. After losing her apple pies several times, the Archangel couldn't collapse.

After being forgiven by Emiya, Exia immediately picked up her backpack and rushed out the door.

"Then I'm out delivering the goods!"

Looking at the disappearing Archangel, Emiya sighed and closed the door.

The others all went out to work, but Exia stayed behind to apologize and beg Emiya to spare her apple pie.

Basically, in the absence of large orders, the Penguin Logistics team relies entirely on their hand speed to take on tasks. After all, the more they grab, the more money they can make.

Although the main targets are Texas, Exia and Croissant, Sora seems to have other careers, so he is more casual about it.

Although Croissant also has a business of setting up stalls, Emiya has seen Croissant's products when he passed by the other party's stall.

Hmm...how should I put it? It's a bit hard to put into words?

Can something like a solar-powered flashlight that can’t store electricity really be sold?

"But I am also in debt now...My boss hasn't contacted me yet."

Seeing everyone working hard to earn money, Emiya was worried about his own debt.

He didn't worry before because he had bigger problems to solve. Now that most of them have been solved, he is starting to feel the pressure of debt.

Another reason is that I have been paying for the meals of several people from Penguin Logistics for quite some time, and more than half of the money has been reduced. Although it is not to the point of running out of money, Emiya is still a little worried about the lack of food expenses.

Yesterday, Emiya had asked Texas to contact the Emperor, hoping that the boss would be willing to provide funding for everyone's meals, otherwise he would have to consider some cheaper ingredients.

"My living room has become a staff restaurant..."

While cleaning up the remains of today's breakfast, Emiya sighed.

It’s not that he hates this feeling. After all, Sister Fuji and Sakura often ate at his house in the past, so he was quite used to it.

"It would be great if Croissant and Exiah could be more like Texas and Sora and not be so out of touch."

When you think of Fuji-sister, you will think of her eccentric personality. When you think of a eccentric personality, you will think of Penguin Logistics and others, who are all extremely eccentric, especially Croissant and Exia.

Ring, ring, ring… ring, ring, ring…

The cell phone in Shirou's pocket rang. After wiping his hands, Shirou answered the call.

"Hello? Hello, this is Emiya."

Emiya asked tentatively. This was the first time he received a call here, and it didn't show who was calling.

"Boy, I didn't expect you to start working so early? Is there anything you want to say? Have you run out of money?"

The emperor's voice came through the phone, and Emiya could faintly hear the sound of heavy bass music.

"Well... we still have more than half of the money. This time I just wanted to ask about everyone's food expenses. I think they should be included in the budget, right?"

After organizing what he wanted to say, Emiya spoke directly. After all, it was a conversation between a worker and his boss, and his reasons for applying for funding were quite legitimate, so he had no reason to feel guilty.

As for salary, he didn't mention it. Actually, it didn't matter if he didn't have it. He was already very grateful for the free food and accommodation in a strange place.

"that's it?"

The emperor's puzzled voice came from the other end of the phone. He thought Shigong was going to ask him for money, but he didn't expect that he was just asking if he could apply for funding?

Isn’t this guy’s material desire too low?

After receiving the notification from Texas, the Emperor did some research on Emiya's shopping history and his actions in the past few days, and discovered that most of Emiya's money was spent on food, and most of them were discounted items from supermarkets. He even became acquainted with some housewives and got a lot of food.

Where did this housewife come from? How did such a normal person come to Penguin Logistics?

This is not Penguin Logistics at all!

No, if you want to take care of those silly girls, it would be better to find a normal person.

Thinking of this, the emperor calmed down.

"That's the only question at the moment. If you have any other questions, I'll contact you, boss. Is this phone number OK?"

Emiya responded politely.

"Don't be so polite. This is not the custom of Penguin Logistics. Also, I have investigated your behavior in advance. So far, you are indeed a qualified housekeeper."

The Emperor, fed up with Emiya's polite behavior, took over the conversation.

"Um...thank you?"

Being praised as a qualified housekeeper, Emiya didn't know what to say, so he just said thank you.

"In short, don't worry about the funding. There will be funding. Also, the previous payment will not be counted on you. Just consider it my joining gift to you. Congratulations on officially joining Penguin Logistics."

The emperor has ruled out the possibility that Emiya was a spy sent by some company. After all, it was really stupid to send such a simple person as a spy.

But of course he didn't completely trust Emiya, and he still had the necessary vigilance, and he would slowly let Emiya delve into other work content of Penguin Logistics.

Even if you're not good at fighting, being a logistics person is pretty good.

The emperor picked up the glass of red wine and took a sip.

"Hmm? Didn't I start working there a long time ago?"

When Emiya heard the emperor's welcome, the first thing he thought of was that he had just woken up a few days ago and was pulled by a penguin to join Penguin Logistics, and there was also a welcome banquet. He didn't expect that it was not true?

"Ahem... kid... forget it. I'll ask Is to give you the card later. I'll deposit funds into it every month. Don't let others starve. I'm busy now."

After hanging up the phone, the emperor patted his chest to relieve the discomfort of choking.

He had to take back what he said before. Emiya was not a simple person at all. He was just a fool.
