Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

After confirming that the situation here was good, Emiya went to the market nearby to buy some ingredients, then turned back to stew a pot of thick soup and left a note.

After finishing the inspection here, today's time is just half over.

This was the first time that Emiya felt like he had so much time.

"Hmm... make a good meal today? And prepare a better lunch box for tomorrow?"

Thinking about the unusual behavior of several people today, Emiya was thinking about how to reward everyone.

“Heh~heh~”

On the other side, Rupert, with his long silver-white hair, was walking aimlessly on the streets of the Longmen slum area.

I saw that there was a scar on She Fang's left eye, but she didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it, just like the Originium crystals on her body, she had no intention of hiding it.

When the people around saw each other, they all wisely gave way.

It was not only because of the other party's identity as an infected person, but also because of the blood that had not yet dried on the two swords on his body.

If he were to walk down the streets of Longmen, he would be taken to the Guards Bureau for tea in no time.

Unfortunately, this is a slum, the most chaotic area in Longmen.

Even the Imperial Guard Bureau can't spare the staff to manage the place.

"Ahh, those people are really relentless in pursuit."

I saw Rupert's ears on the other person's head move slightly, as if he heard something.

Although she said that the other party was pursuing her relentlessly, there was no expression of annoyance or impatience on her face. Instead, she maintained a faint smile.

Combined with the scars on his face, anyone who sees it will feel a chill down their spine.

Suddenly, the expression on her face froze for a moment, and then a big smile appeared on her face, the kind that came from the heart.

The way to taste and nourishment.

The smell of the man she had been chasing for so long.

And the distance was not far, even though the air was mixed with the aroma of thick soup, she would definitely not make a mistake!

So she simply ignored the gang members chasing after her and headed straight towards the direction of the smell.

But when the distance got closer, the excited expression on her face instantly disappeared.

After all, the source of the smell was a person with red hair and no racial characteristics. The hair color alone was enough to determine that the other person was not the one she was looking for.

What's more, the other party is a man.

But even if it wasn't the person himself, he might know something about the person she was looking for. Thinking of this, she felt excited again.

"Um?"

While walking on the street, thinking about which food would taste good even if left for a long time, Emiya suddenly noticed that the people around him seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.

Turning his head, he saw a group of people who seemed to be chasing a silver-white Lupo infected person.

He did not act rashly, although he subjectively believed that the hunted Rupert was the weaker party, but the bloodstains on the other party's two swords were very fresh.

Considering that the other party's body was clean except for the Originium crystals, and compared with the pursuers behind him who were covered in wounds, Emiya could probably deduce the reason.

Before taking action, don't just act on your subjective consciousness, but analyze and think about the situation first.

This was one of the rules in the mission code handed down by Chen and Xingxiong. Although most people would forget everything when their brains got hot when something happened, Emiya still remembered it well.

However, in public, Emiya did not intend to use projection magic. Instead, he reached into his side bag and projected the dagger that Texas gave him.

"It's troublesome..."

The reason why Emiya didn't use projection directly was very simple, that is, someone already knew about the projection magic and tried to use it to confuse Wei Yanwu's vision.

Not only Is, but even the three members of the Imperial Guard Bureau told Emiya to try not to use Originium techniques in crowded places, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble.

However, if you really get into trouble, your own safety should be your priority.

After all, you can't just give up other things just because of an uncertain malice.

Fortunately, Emiya put the birthday gift from Texas into the compartment of his backpack, but Emiya had no intention of just taking the knife and chopping. It was more like a talisman than a weapon.

So he pretended to take out the dagger from his bag, so that even if there was a problem, he could still take the dagger out from the compartment.

"Is this to help them stop me?"

Seeing the red-haired man with a familiar smell in front of him taking out a familiar-looking knife, Rupert with long silver-white hair stopped and put his hand on his sword.

There was a hint of meaning in the expression on his face and in his tone.

"Uh...I want to stop those people behind me?"

Seeing that the other party was almost treating him as an enemy, Emiya felt a little innocent.

He was looking at the people behind him, and he even gave way to them, so why were they coming towards him?

The road is next to you! Let's go!

"Tsk tsk, it's not a good idea to mind your own business, ok?"

Looking at the other person's expression, Silver-White Rupert immediately understood what the other person was thinking.

Acting bravely?

We have seen a lot of people like this, and a small number of them will become indifferent after being beaten a few times.

The vast majority of people paid with their lives for this.

The same plot keeps repeating itself on this land, just like a bad drama that keeps being replayed on TV.

“I still know this.”

Of course, Emiya understood very well what the other party said.

But he just couldn't control his hands and feet, and by the time he reacted, he had already grasped the dagger in his hands.

"Hmm~? Never mind. I was looking for you anyway. You would have been targeted even if you didn't intervene."

Seeing that the man in front of him didn't seem to back down because of his words, Rupert with long silver-white hair became slightly interested.

160 Lapland

"?"

When he heard that the other party's target was him and that he didn't seem to care at all about attracting people over, a question mark appeared in Emiya's head.

Is there something wrong with him, or is there something wrong with the people nowadays?

They probably don't know each other, right? How come they don't have any other thoughts about involving a stranger in something?

However, Shirou didn't have time to care about these questions now, because the people chasing him didn't give him time to think.

Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be any magicians or snipers among them, so if you want to attack Emiya and Rupert, who speaks in a somewhat incomprehensible way, you have to fight in close combat.

However, the other party seemed to be quite afraid of Rupert with long silver-white hair. They kept a distance from him and gradually surrounded several people.

Emiya did not act rashly because he was just coming out of the store and was about to go back. This side was close to the market and there were a lot of people there.

If the battlefield is moved, it will be very dangerous for those people.

The main concern is that these people will destroy that place.

"Uh...um, what is your relationship?"

Seeing that he seemed to be surrounded as an accomplice of the other party, Emiya swung the short knife in his hand and asked the person next to him.

"Nothing, I just asked them some questions, they just wanted to keep me, and you can call me Lapland."

Rupert on the side...or should I say Lapland, after hearing Emiya's question, gave a casual explanation and briefly introduced himself.

This was a perfectly normal conversation, and it would have been better if the expression on Lappland's face wasn't so weird.

“…I have a general understanding.”

Looking at the other person's appearance, Emiya felt that this was probably the type of person he was not good at dealing with.

But at this time, I guess these people wouldn't believe me if I said I was just passing by. The main reason was that I was tricked by Miss Lappland.

Plus, the other party just said that she came to find him. According to Shigong's estimation of this kind of people, if he really wanted to run away directly, the other party would probably find a way to follow him.

It would be better to resolve the issue here first. At least this generation of people would have already run to a safe place to watch the fun.

At this point, Emiya felt it necessary to say something.

The people of Longmen really love to watch the fun! This is a fight! It's very serious! Aren't you afraid of being dragged into it?

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but Emiya found that it was like this almost every time, unless he encountered an uncontrollable infected person, he would avoid him a little.

But there are still some people who will watch the excitement from a safe distance until they are driven away by the Guards.

"Hmm~ Huh? You haven't told me your name yet? I have a lot of questions to ask you, so don't run away, okay?"

Hearing Emiya's helpless tone, Lappland seemed to be quite accustomed to this tone and continued to speak with a smile.

At the same time, she took out the two big swords from her waist and posed in a rather casual manner, as if she was not going to face a battle but to be photographed.

"Ah this..."

Emiya had originally planned to sneak away during the chaos, but when the other party said he had questions to ask, his eyes were mostly fixed on the dagger in his hand.

Plus the other person is a friend of Rupert...Texas?

Although he wanted to ask directly, Emiya did not forget the current situation.

As the first stone thrown by the people surrounding them was crushed by Emiya, a battle of two against many began.

Rather than calling it a battle, it was more like two people crushing dozens of people.

Although what Emiya was holding was just an ordinary dagger, the quality was probably about the same as that of an ordinary dagger. Although it had been maintained, it was still a bit blunt and could not compare to the swords such as the treasures that we usually use, but it still worked well in Emiya's hands.

It didn't matter if it was a little blunt. Emiya used the short sword mostly to block the opponent's attacks, and then knocked them out with his fists and feet.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Emiya always felt that the number of people on his side was increasing.

At a glance, he knew the reason.

There was fresh blood on the two big swords in Lappland's hands, and coupled with the opponent's wild fighting style, the wounds on the people fighting with him were somewhat horrible.

The wounds were big but not fatal. They seemed to be being toyed with by Lappland in front of them.

As for Emiya, it only took two or three moves to knock him unconscious and he fell down, so naturally everyone attacked this side.

It's better to faint! It's better than that scary woman!

Knock us out quickly and let us get through!

As if he saw the expressions on these people's faces, Emiya very politely knocked them all out and piled them aside.

"You're quite skilled, can you handle these as well?"

Noticing that everything seemed to have been dealt with on Emiya's side, Lappland handed these people over to Emiya.

She had to follow the rules of Longmen when she was here, and someone had reminded her of this when she first arrived.

Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but considering that he had some things to do in Longmen, Lapland had no choice but to accept it.

Now it seems that her choice was correct. She found the person she was looking for here. She will probably stay in Longmen for a long time.

"You're going a bit too far."

After stepping forward and taking a quick look at the conditions of the few people, Emiya used his magic to make them fall into a coma, and at the same time used their clothes to perform simple bleeding work.

Although the wounds look big, they are actually not deep, so there will be no problem if you simply stop the bleeding.

That being said, if the amount of bleeding continues at this level for about an hour, you can go to the Shunxin Funeral Home to report your death.

"It's good that we didn't turn them into puff pastry. But let me be frank, they were the ones who kept chasing us, right?"

Lappland did not stop Emiya from bandaging several people. After all, they were not mortal enemies, and these people only chased after them because of her questions.

By the way, when she was asking questions, she was knocking on the door with a brick. The quality of the door was really not very good and it was smashed in an instant.

After getting the intelligence, sending the people away, and encountering an unexpected surprise, Lappland felt that her luck was pretty good today.

"I don't blame you, it's just that it's easy to scare people. Most of the people here are ordinary residents."

Emiya didn't understand what Thousand Layer Puff meant, but he could understand the following sentence.

As for why they were chasing Lappland, he didn't ask. Lappland was the only conscious party left. Could he expect him to tell the truth?
