Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Looking away, the man turned his attention to the apartment building in front of him that was on fire.

This location was also carefully selected. It is located in the middle of the slums. As long as you are not deaf or blind, you can definitely see it. There must be some noise from the Longmen city area.

The purpose is also simple, to lure out another group of people who are investigating them.

Although some people don't care about human lives...those people are just infected.

What he couldn't understand was why the boss made such a big fuss.

But the effect is very good. At least the red guy above looks extraordinary.

Not only him, but all the onlookers witnessed a guy in a red coat leaping into the fire.

Looking at the red figure rushing into the fire, and then looking at the detonator in his hand, the man thought for a moment and decided to crush it directly.

Even though they are just a group of infected people and self-righteous people, he will not do meaningless things and will consider it a success as long as he achieves his goal.

As for how much is achieved, it is none of his business.

"Ah... What on earth is Boss thinking? I can't guess."

The man sighed inwardly, pulled his hat down and walked out of the crowd.

His work has been completed, and the rest is none of his business. He just hopes that lunatic can handle it well and not make things too much.

On the other side, Emiya, whose body had been strengthened, was running in the fire.

Once he finds someone, he projects a grappling hook and a belt and throws the person down. The situation is critical, and Shirou doesn't care whether the person being rescued is afraid of heights or not.

All safety measures have been taken, and it would be better to experience a high-altitude bungee jump than to turn into a BBQ.

The temperature in the fire scene was very high and the smoke was choking.

The fire burned the building, making a constant screeching sound.

Emiya was used to this.

The high temperature and choking smoke were not a threat to him as he was performing magic.

He had also seen fires in his dreams several times that were even more intense than this fire.

So there is nothing to be afraid of.

While using magic to search this floor to see if there were any survivors, Emiya was thinking about his next route.

Compared to collecting clues and piecing together the truth, he is indeed more suited to this more direct job.

"Emiya, there seems to be something going on on the top floor."

In the headphones, Is calmly reported the situation on the scene to Emiya.

He didn't have the mood to tease at this time. After all, Emiya was so serious, it would be bad if he ruined the atmosphere.

"Understood. There is no one below the third floor. I am already on the fourth floor."

Emiya responded while using magecraft to detect the situation on the fourth floor.

Although he could use magic to detect the entire building at once, it would consume a lot of magic power and energy, and there was a possibility that some parts would be missing.

So although this is a bit troublesome, the efficiency is still quite good.

"Take it easy. People from the Fire Department and the Guards are here."

"I'll find a way to leave later, don't worry."

"Is that what I'm talking about? I'm telling you not to take on all the responsibilities. There are more professional people here!"

"Got it. Let them arrange a cushion."

"What on earth do you understand? You don't understand anything! Oh... forget it. Instead of telling you this, I might as well persuade the boss to sing a ballad."

"Ha, I can't imagine that scene."

"What's the fun in that if you can just imagine it?"

Is, who had just been thinking about not ruining the atmosphere, was immediately broken down by Emiya.

After operating the drone to explain the situation to the fire department personnel who arrived, Is immediately moved the drone away.

Although there is no Penguin Logistics related logo on the exterior, it would be a different story if it were shot down and picked up for investigation.

Although Sir Chen should protect them, he still has to avoid suspicion. It is also a good thing to have fewer handles in the hands of others.

“…The top floor?”

With the cushion on the first floor, the pressure on Emiya when he threw the person out was not as great, and the speed was much faster.

Fortunately, there weren't many people trapped in the fire, otherwise, with this amount of practice, Emiya would have been afraid that if Angel and Croissant did something, he would have directly projected a grappling hook and let the two of them experience a high-altitude bungee jump.

After throwing out everyone below the fifth floor, Emiya remembered what Is had just reminded him, that there seemed to be a problem on the top floor.

Someone seems to have the situation under control?

The scene will be under control at this time...who caused the explosion?

Why do this?

Without having time to think, Emiya kicked open the iron door leading to the top floor.

After extensive use of enhancements and the grappling hook and belt for searching and projection, he didn't have much magic power left.

After lamenting the scarcity of his own magic power for the first time in a long time, Emiya stood on the rooftop of the building.

Because the detonation point was on the middle and lower floors, there was actually no fire from the fifth floor up, just more smoke.

The top floor is open to the sky and more ventilated, so there isn't much smoke.

Except for the slightly higher temperature, it's actually quite safe here.

Of course, if there wasn't a guy in front of him dressed in black and holding a staff.

"This is really fast! I thought it would be slower!"

The man held a staff in one hand and pulled a rope with the other. Two children were tied to the other end of the rope and were hanging on the edge.

There are also countless Guard Bureau drones surrounding this place.

Judging from the other person's appearance, he seemed to be waiting for Emiya to arrive.

"This is a warning. If you continue to interfere, I don't know where the fire will break out next time."

The man warned Emiya in his somewhat crazy voice.

This is a matter between them, the Guards Bureau, and Lungmen. No one else should or is allowed to interfere.

"..."

Looking at the other person's appearance, Emiya had no intention of talking to him.

Now the situation is easy to understand. The man in front of him is the culprit of the explosion, and the Guard drone next to him has locked onto him, and the two children on the rope are his hostages.

As long as he or the drone dared to take direct action, the two children would fall down directly.

Although there is a cushion on the first floor, no one can guarantee that the two children will not hit something or get burned while falling.

Too close to buildings.

Although he could also rush forward and grab the rope, letting the drone attack, the opponent still had weapons in his hands, and rushing forward rashly would only be a way to get killed.

"Don't want to talk? Well, it doesn't matter."

Seeing that Emiya didn't want to talk to him, the man didn't care. He just waved the staff in his right hand, and a large amount of flames rushed out, destroying a large number of drones in one breath.

The exploding drone produced a large amount of smoke, which instantly covered the man's figure.

"I hope you can remember my warning. Capture me or save the child. Choose one."

After saying that, the man loosened his grip on the rope, then leaped to the other side. The jet pack hidden on his back also started up, gliding away with him.

This was his escape route, and although he had other more complete and safer plans, he didn't want to use them.

How boring is that?

Forcing people to choose between capturing him and saving the hostages is the most interesting thing, isn't it?

"Trace on─"

Without hesitation, Emiya ran in the direction where the hostage fell.

But he was unwilling to let the other party escape like this, so he projected a longbow and arrow, simply aimed and shot.

"Where's the bow?"

Just when the man wanted to appreciate the other person's conflicted look, the sudden red arrow made him stunned for a moment.

Just now he clearly saw that the other person's hands were empty.

But soon the man began to adjust the jetpack, trying to divert his flight trajectory.

What about arrows? As long as you can see them and have a good position, you can dodge them, right?

But the opposite happened. After the man adjusted his flight trajectory, the arrow, dragging a red light, drew an arc in the air and pierced through the man's abdomen.

The man looked with disbelief at Emiya who was pulling the rope to try to rescue the person, and then looked at the arrow stuck in his abdomen.

"A red...arrow that turns?"

Enduring the pain, the man controlled the jet pack and left quickly.

At this moment, there was no longer the arrogance on his face.

If it was the guy he knew, then he would have to find a way to escape to a blind spot.

He was an Ursus, so he naturally understood the meaning of the arrow.

Red Devil...I thought he was dead, but he's still alive?

And people actually ran to Longmen?

The situation is not good now. He is being caught up by the drones of the Guard Bureau, and he does not have the energy to use magic to destroy these drones.

"Hey... I told you to proceed according to the plan, why didn't you listen?"

A sigh was heard over the intercom, and then, as the man looked horrified, the intercom exploded.

And blew him up as well.

Compared with the burning building, the explosion seemed insignificant and few people even noticed it.

Of course, Emiya didn't notice it either, as his attention was now completely focused on the two hostages in his hands.

Both children were injured and could not be thrown down directly like just now.

After thinking for a while, Emiya projected a large piece of cloth and covered the two children.

"This is my first time leading someone to jump from a high altitude!"

The fire that the man had just lit was burning on the top floor, and the two children were injured and needed treatment. Emiya did not have many choices at this time.

He had jumped from higher floors before, but this was the first time he led someone to jump.

And there are still two people.

After making a simple mental preparation, Emiya jumped directly to the other side.

There were too many people in front of us and no place to stand. Plus, if we jumped from that side, we would fall into the hands of the Guards.

So Emiya chose a place with fewer people.

There are no gorgeous special effects and no handsome landing posture.

Some only have the familiar old friend toilet squat for simple buffering.

Even though his legs were strengthened by magic, the numbness that rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead still made Emiya feel for a moment that his body was not his own.

It was only a moment. Looking at the crowd rushing over, Emiya gently put down the two people in his hands and ran towards the low house not far away.

“…Is this guy a superman?”

Chen watched Emiya busying around all the way, and saw that the other party still had the energy to escape, so he looked at the other party's departing figure with a confused look on his face.

Although the person had disappeared long ago.

She briefly calculated what Emiya had done during that time, and found that when she arrived at the scene, the Emiya people were already rescuing the residents.

When we organized a drone to go up to check the situation, we also saw the man in black who was dressed in black and holding a rope to tie up the hostage.

The other party must be related to the explosion, but because of the hostages they have, they cannot act arbitrarily.
