He immediately hung up the call without giving Emiya a chance to ask for help, and hacked into Sora's video feed, then picked up some popcorn and waited for the exciting moment to come.

"..."

Hearing the beeping sound coming from the headset, Emiya knew there was no way out.

He, Shirou Emiya, is a magician or a sorcerer, a housekeeper for the Penguin Logistics Company, who founded the Fuyuki Store to help homeless infected children, and just now faced his fear and rushed into the fire to save people.

There are only four people, is he scared?

"We need to have a good talk." Texas said expressionlessly.

Okay, maybe he was a little scared.

"understood."

At this point, Emiya gave up struggling.

Not to mention whether he could run away with this almost falling apart body, if he still wanted to sleep in the dormitory later, he would have to rely on a few people this time.

Supported by Croissant and Exiah, two bodyguards on both sides, Emiya was carried all the way to the sofa.

Or rather, he was dragged to the sofa.

Emiya was originally slightly taller than the others, and he had grown a little taller over the past few months, so he was basically being dragged along just now.

Emiya was sitting alone on the small sofa, and sitting on the big sofa opposite were Texas, Exia and Croissant, all three of them looked at him with a friendly look.

The phone on the table was still on a video call, and Sora's expression was quite kind.

Should it be said that it was a unique tacit understanding between them? I clearly didn't see the appearance of the other three people, but they made similar expressions and postures.

"What are you still standing there for? Speak!"

After a stalemate, Croissant couldn't help but speak first.

"...?"

Emiya expressed confusion at what Croissant said.

There was basically no conversation since we entered the door?

What should he say?

I'm very sorry, but will the meals, desserts and drinks be doubled in the next few days?

At this moment, Emiya's mind was basically a mess and he didn't have much energy to think about the current situation.

"Hey... I'm going to make some coffee, do you guys want some?"

Looking at Emiya's current appearance, Texas understood that he must be very tired, to the point where even his brain was frozen.

To be honest, this matter is not serious. It's just that Emiya ran out at night.

It's understandable that you feel unwell and want to go for a night tour.

Just now they were awakened by a sudden explosion and watched the news, and saw that somewhat familiar figure jumping down from a tall building.

The coats covering the two hostages also turned into blue spots of light and disappeared after a while.

Besides, Shirou was not in the dormitory at that time.

All kinds of evidence pointed out that Emiya ran out at night and did something extremely dangerous.

"Yes, what about you, Sora?"

Realizing that Texas was going to give Emiya some time to rest, Exia tapped the phone on the table and said.

"Why don't you send it over?"

Sora said in a rather resentful tone.

"Hey, I'll bring it to you in two days. It's a good time for the holiday."

The Angel of Energy said with a chuckle.

"Take me with you. I want to see if there is any place where I can set up a stall."

Croissant tried to join in the conversation. She wanted to go over and see which places were suitable for setting up a stall.

Another thing is to plan an escape route.

"I won't help you talk to the Guards this time, okay?"

Hearing Croissant trying to set up a stall, Sora gave a warning.

"It's okay, it's okay, you have to believe that I can get away!"

Croissant patted his chest with a confident look on his face.

"coffee."

While Emiya quietly listened to the conversation between the three, Texas held a tray with several cups of hot coffee on it.

It is a coffee ball with espresso inside. It can be brewed directly with hot water to make black coffee, or with milk to make coffee milk.

Emiya had brought it before.

After a moment's pause, Emiya looked at the coffee in front of him.

There was steam floating above it, which was caused by hot water.

The one from Texas not only had no steam, but was also slightly lighter in color, obviously made with iced milk.

If Emiya remembers correctly, this... seems very bitter.

Is this considered revenge?

While thinking this, Emiya picked up the coffee in front of him and took a big sip.

The bitter taste of coffee immediately made Emiya feel much more energetic.

"Since you've already drunk the coffee, could you please tell the truth, Mr. Emiya?"

Seeing Emiya's ferocious expression after drinking the coffee, Croissant asked him directly without giving him a chance to breathe.

It wasn't like Emiya was hiding something from them that made them feel uncomfortable.

Instead, they need to confirm whether Emiya's "abnormality" in the past month or so is due to doing these things.

Although Emiya always says that he is fine, you can still see that he occasionally looks tired.

Although none of them are as serious as the one just now.

"Well...it's not really serious..."

Emiya briefly explained why he went out at night.

From learning about the missing infected people to preparing to investigate, and then being found out by the boss and teaming up with Is.

Many details were omitted, and the writer used the simplest explanation to let everyone understand why he went out at night.

"There's another disappearance in the slums... I haven't noticed it yet."

Listening to Emiya's explanation, Archangel Exia thought for a moment and found that she seemed to have never heard of any related rumors.

Obviously she often delivers goods to the slums.

"It's normal. Unless you specifically ask for information about this, you generally won't be exposed to it."

In addition to the stalls, there were also croissants selling some small information. Naturally, I had heard about this matter, but after reporting it to the boss, I didn't pay any attention to it.

The main reason is that we can't get any follow-up information.

"So that's why you go out at night? Simply to help others?"

Judging from Emiya's expression, Texas guessed that the other party hadn't said something clearly.

But I already know why Emiya went out at night, so I won't ask any more questions.

That’s the purpose…

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that everyone seemed to have taken his words to heart, Emiya nodded.

"Hmm... Emiya, you always seem to be doing dangerous things. You also rushed into a fire to save people before."

In the picture, Sora remembered that Emiya seemed to have done something similar before, and he paid for it with his own coat, which had a big hole burned on it.

Although it is good to want to help others, it is not so good to hurt yourself.

And...Sora always feels that if Emiya continues like this, sooner or later...

Hmm? What will happen?

After thinking about it for a while, Sora found that he just couldn't remember.

Maybe it's not good for thinking in the middle of the night?

"Hmm... I can probably understand why Shi Sir wants to poach you. Emiya, don't let the other two find out! Otherwise, we won't be able to protect you!"

Hearing that Emiya had such a record, Archangel Exia suddenly understood why Shi Huaiya wanted to recruit Emiya.

It's not to piss them off, nor is it for the food.

But Emiya's appearance is consistent with the common people's impression of the Imperial Guard Bureau!

"The other two?"

Emiya was confused for a moment.

"You're talking about Mr. Chen and Officer Xingxiong, right?"

Croissant on the side added.

"Oh, them!"

After hearing what Croissant said, Emiya thought about it for a moment.

Among the three of them, it seems that I am the only one who is not very familiar with Chen Sir?

No, that’s not right…the other party came to our store to make purchases a few days ago.

Does that mean he actually knows these three people?

But it's better not to bring it up. Emiya feels that if he says it, it might be difficult for him to go out in the future.

As for Is, who had everything in his hands, he had already begun to look forward to that scene.

He was not worried about whether Emiya would be poached. Emiya was a stubborn person and at most he would just help the Imperial Guards with miscellaneous tasks.

"Don't think too much about it, but next time you go out at night, you need to report it and send it to the group."

Texas didn't care so much about this matter. If Shirou had a better choice, she would give her sincere blessings.

But if possible, it is better not to leave. She seems to be used to this kind of life where she has food to eat when she wakes up in the morning and also has food to eat when she comes back from work in the afternoon.

It’s different from the feeling of being taken care of by the family before, the important thing is that there are other people here.

At least there are still a few people at the bottom when things get decadent.

"Row."

There is no problem with this, and Emiya has no reason to refuse.

He knew he was in the wrong, and he would agree to any request as long as it wasn't too excessive.

After all, everyone is concerned about his health, right?

The main reason is that he really wants to sleep now. Even if Angel asks him to make apple pie now, he will probably agree.

"So, it's over?"

Seeing that Emiya was quite cooperative, Croissant asked.

She thought she could find a way to get something to interrogate Emiya.

For example, tickling someone or stuffing chili sauce into Emiya's mouth.

"I've asked almost all the questions. It's almost time, right?"

Angel looked at the time and it was almost three o'clock.

If they don't sleep, they will be driving while tired tomorrow, which is bad for their body and skin.

"I'm almost done here. I still have two hours to catch up on my sleep. I have to get up at around five to rehearse."

Sora's sleep time, which was already short, became even shorter. He could only pray that he could hold on for the heavy rehearsal work tomorrow.
