Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

He is the type of person who will scold you while handling things.

"That's good. So where should I go now?"

After a quick confirmation, Emiya realized that the hooded man's voice seemed to no longer be heard on the other end of the headset, and Is had indeed cut off the communication.

"Where are you running to? Of course you're running to the dormitory! Don't just stand there, or else it will be troublesome if others come looking for you."

Is has now begun to plan to let Emiya have a little understanding of the major forces in Longmen. Although he is not as good at causing trouble as the Texas Group, he cannot resist this super-high-wattage light bulb walking on the street.

After Emiya fired that shot just now, his name should appear in the eyes of all the major forces in Longmen.

Although the largest ones have already been contacted and completed.

Even the ruler of Longmen sent people to observe, or should I say, monitor Emiya.

The time point was almost after Emiya met Chen Sir, and Is could only complain in his heart that the other party was too concerned.

Hei San was sent out just for this matter. Apart from being overly concerned, Is couldn't think of any other words to describe it.

Now... Hei Mino who follows Emiya should be the most troublesome person. It would be difficult to refuse him if he comes to you.

You have to find a way to retreat before the other party reacts.

Otherwise, a simple person like Emiya would easily be eaten to the bone.

"Oh."

After hearing what Is said, although Emiya didn't know what was going on, he still did it.

As usual, he took a shortcut and jumped off the tall building.

Now most people's attention has been attracted by the huge explosion caused by the collapse of the fantasy just now, and there are almost no people here.

Everyone ran to watch the fun, and Shigong couldn't help but sigh at the Longmen people's love of watching the fun.

Even at this late hour, as long as there is something exciting to watch, they will not be afraid to go through the trouble of going through the trouble of watching the show.

When he landed, Emiya followed Is's instructions and immediately left towards the city.

On the way out, he went into the alley as usual to remove the projection, and then went out again.

"Is, how much useful information do you think we can get this time? Can we catch the mastermind behind this?"

After walking a short distance, Emiya asked.

Although this operation seemed perfect, the impact of that fantasy collapse was still quite large.

From what Emiya saw, at least all the windows of the houses in that area were shattered.

But... there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, if Fantasy Collapse hadn't taken out most of the drones with one shot, letting those drones attack targets indiscriminately would have been even more dangerous.

So Emiya just chose the side where fewer people would likely get hurt.

"I don't know. Maybe that person is just a cover. Intelligence gathering is not something I think I can do. Every action should be prepared for the possibility of getting nothing, even if you have completed the investigation with great difficulty."

While preparing to report to his boss a brief summary of what had just happened, Is took the time to answer Emiya's questions.

He had always been reminding Emiya not to be too anxious about gathering intelligence.

But right now, it seems that Emiya is more concerned about the safety of others than gathering intelligence.

If you keep being like this, you won't be a good intelligence collector!

But it’s not a bad thing. After experiencing the baptism of fireworks just now, Is felt that it was better for Emiya to be kind. At least he didn’t have to worry about other problems arising.

He didn't want to wake up one day and find that half of the dragon gate was missing.

"Indeed, I was impatient."

After hearing Is's long string of words, Emiya adjusted his mood slightly.

"Being anxious means you care deeply about this matter. Look at it from the bright side. At least after you started investigating, the number of missing people has decreased a lot. And now there may be new progress. Although it doesn't mean that we can catch all of them, it's at least a good progress."

Even through the headphones, Is could hear the disappointment in Emiya's tone.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to explain it to Emiya in another way.

As for people! You can look at something from the most pessimistic perspective or the most optimistic perspective. It all depends on the individual.

However, it was all for teaching purposes, so Is usually used with slightly pessimistic examples, which made it easier for people to remember.

"That would be great."

Emiya could tell that Is was trying to comfort him, but what he said did make some sense.

Should I say that as a member of society, you are more tactful in your speech? One thing can be easily viewed from two completely different perspectives.

"..."

Just as Emiya was about to leave the slums, he suddenly had a very subtle feeling.

It seems like someone is following him?

And there seem to be quite a few people.

Was it directed at him?

However, Emiya himself did not feel any obvious malice, but this option could not be ruled out.

Thinking of this, Emiya habitually wanted to pull up his hood, but when he missed it, he remembered that he was wearing a Penguin Logistics jacket.

"Tsk."

With a click of his tongue, Emiya pretended to rub his shoulders and continued walking as before.

Islam taught us that if you are being followed, the first thing you should not do is panic.

It's easy to get into trouble if you panic, so stay calm and start counting the tools you have to fight back.

For the latter, Emiya can be directly omitted. As long as he has enough magic power, he will have many means of counterattack, both long-range and close, and both offensive and defensive.

However, Emiya had no intention of fighting. He was not a battle maniac and would try to avoid battles that could be avoided.

So what he had to do now was to use strengthening magic to get rid of those people behind him when he reached the next corner.

Emiya continued to pretend that nothing had happened. After he reached the next intersection and turned the corner, he immediately used strengthening magic and started running at full speed.

"Hmm? Emiya, are you being chased again?"

Hearing the strong sound of wind coming from Emiya's direction, Is stopped his work and began to adjust the images near Emiya's location.

"I just felt like someone was following me, but I think I've gotten rid of him now."

Just after Emiya ran for a distance, the subtle feeling disappeared.

I always feel like there are some subtle things added after crossing over...

Looking around, Emiya thought so.

Whether it was the malice he had felt before or his heightened senses, if there was nothing wrong with his body, Emiya would probably have been wondering if something strange had been integrated into his body.

"Someone is chasing you..."

After hearing what Emiya said, Is quickly checked the video records.

There was no strange figure, just Emiya walking on the road alone.

After adjusting the time back to the present, Is operated the monitor of the last section of the road that Emiya had just walked, and suddenly three or four black shadows appeared on the screen.

Some are far away and some are blurry, to the extent that ordinary people would probably just skip over them when they see them.

But Is is different.

He knew the identities of those dark shadows.

It's the black mino who has always been following Emiya.

The black shadow in the picture pointed in the direction where Emiya left, then pointed upwards and left.

"Alas... blasting is fun for a while, but it's so fun that I die from overtime."

The meaning of the two gestures was very simple, that is, someone above was looking for Emiya.

The person in the black straw raincoat is the ruler of Longmen.

He is a very petty person. He will probably take tough actions against someone like Emiya who has great firepower but unknown identity, right?

However, with the shield of Penguin Logistics, the situation should not be too bad.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about this? Are you going to work overtime again? You seem to work overtime often, how about I bring you a lunch box in a couple of days?"

The culprit who caused Is to work overtime frequently recently asked a soul-searching question.

"…Yes, any dish you want, I'll eat anything."

After much hesitation, Is decided not to argue with Emiya about overtime.

Now that people have come to his door, Shirou will have to join him in the headache.

Iskor knew that Emiya hated riddles very much.

Coincidentally, the person who came to see him was a man who was full of riddles.

Thinking of this, Is felt much better.

As long as he releases the pain when he feels it, the pain will be relieved.

"Okay, do you want to be the boss?"

Emiya felt that during the time that Is was silent just now, he seemed to have already planned how to deal with him.

Faced with this super fun person, Emiya decided to give something back.

Hongzhou Yansui Restaurant and Taishan Spicy Ma Po Tofu, it's decided for you!

Just talking, he doesn't have the recipe over there, but he has a similar one, which seems to be what Rin has made.

Out of politeness, Emiya asked about the boss's portion.

In his impression, Yis's workplace should be not far from his boss.

"Come together, just prepare something good to go with the drinks."

Knowing that his boss was listening to the conversation, Yis did not refuse.

At worst, he will have to bear the guilt.

He can always see the messages from Exia, Croissant, and Sora, and recently the meals made by Emiya are the main focus.

Texas is really good. Unless I really like it, I won’t post it.

Compared to other people's screen-sweeping behavior, Texas only posted a dozen photos, most of which were

Chocolate-related desserts.

"Eh... wine?"

When I heard the word "wine", I felt a little troubled.

He doesn't drink, but drinking seems to be the norm here.

Even everyone at Penguin Logistics drinks some at parties.

He doesn't mind if you want to drink, just don't ask him to drink, that's how they looked after they finished drinking...

A bit scruffy?

Forget it, let’s not recall it. After this happened a few times, Emiya became more determined not to drink.

"Don't force it, just be casual."

As if he could hear that Emiya was a little embarrassed, Is added.

"I'll try my best."

Emiya thought about it and it seemed that there was a scaly beast similar to salmon before, which would be perfect for cooking.

Plus the boss is a penguin... he should like to eat scaly creatures, right?

In Emiya's impression, zoos use fish as feed.

It should be... the same, right?

At this moment, in Emiya's brain, reason told him not to compare the animals on his side with those here.

But the brain still uncontrollably compares the two and even associates them together.
