Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't you have other clothes with you, Emiya? And even if you really have no clothes, you can always conjure up a new set, right?"

Croissant didn't care at all about Emiya's worries.

Clothes? Don't you need to replace those things frequently?

She was the one holding the shield and the hammer and standing in the front, so it was common for her clothes to be torn.

As for why she was so excited...

"The boss said that we're going to have a party at his bar this afternoon! There are many of his treasured drinks there! And this is a long-awaited party! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"If the boss knew you were eyeing his wine, he would definitely make your horn into a handle for the wine glass."

Just by listening to what the other party said, Emiya could feel how much Croissant missed his boss's collection of drinks and the party.

After he arrived, he attended many small parties, but only one or two large parties?

I don't have much impression, after all, he is not very interested in parties.

The second is that he doesn't drink.

He is the biggest outlier in Penguin Logistics.

"Compared to Sister Neng being hung from the ceiling as an effect light, mine seems to be better, right?"

Faced with Emiya's venomous attack, Croissant dragged Exia into the water as well.

Although the metaphor is a bit strange.

"I think it's pretty serious. Don't make the boss angry. I hope the boss is in a good mood today and prescribes more drinks and food!"

The Angel of Exiah who heard Croissant calling her joined the conversation. When distributing apple pies, she talked with those who were interested in apple pies and promoted several stores and production techniques.

When it comes to desserts, she is currently better than Emiya.

It’s just that Emiya’s progress is a little too fast, and he has almost mastered many desserts.

"The boss will definitely not skimp on this aspect, but according to your standards... you might be a little disappointed."

After helping to sign a few autographed photos, Kong also came over and joined the conversation.

Although the number is a bit large, most of them are from Rhodes Island operators who want to take them back to their acquaintances.

Sora didn't know much about Rhodes Island, and most of what he knew came from Emiya.

But everyone except her seemed to have heard of it.

It's just that it's a little different from the pharmaceutical company that Emiya mentioned. Croissant, Exia, and Texas all heard that Rhodes Island's military force is very excellent.

According to the information known to Penguin Logistics, Rhodes Island used to have a small team that was responsible for some very difficult tasks, and their completion rate was frighteningly high.

The most difficult ones include sneaking into Ursus to rescue people and snatching experimental subjects from Columbia. The simple ones are too numerous to count. There are countless rumors about stepping on Originium creatures and beating up those evil bounty hunters.

The reason why Angel knew this was very simple. The main force of this small team was gunners, so she had heard about it.

Texas knew this thanks to Archangel who had been telling Texas these things every day during that period.

Croissant is more simple, she just habitually collects some information and keeps it aside, waiting for the day when she can sell it for a good price.

It’s just a pity that this small team stopped its activities more than half a year ago, and all her little money was wasted.

But that's how this kind of business is. Croissant just cursed a few words, then tightened his belt and continued to live his life.

“Do we look like the type of people who go after high-ticket items?”

After hearing what Kong said, Croissant felt that he seemed to have a lot of strange labels in the other's mind.

The Angel of Power also nodded and agreed with Croissant's statement.

"It's not true. After all, you don't have money to buy it, so you can only borrow from others?"

After thinking about Croissant and Exiah's usual spending habits, Emiya could simply conclude that they were both the type of people who liked a rich material life.

It's not impossible. After all, considering the nature of their work and the different locations they are in, Shirou's philosophy of frugality is not suitable for them.

For some people, money can be earned again if it is lost, and if they can use money to buy happiness right now, they will not be stingy.

Croissant is relatively better, after all, he is a street vendor, at least he has a side job.

As for the Archangel...it seems like most of them were used to compensate for the damage they caused?

It’s also fortunate that the boss did not collect the full amount, otherwise Angel Energy might now be the biggest creditor of Penguin Logistics.

In short, after summarizing the consumption habits of the two, Emiya can be sure that they will not spend money on luxury goods.

It should be said that neither of them had the money to buy it.

"Hiss, it seems that you have indeed recovered well, Emiya. Please be gentle with your words and stop talking!"

Hearing Emiya's words, Exia and Croissant felt as if their hearts were stabbed.

However, if Emiya is willing to say such a thing, it means that the previous incident should be in the past.

At that time, when Emiya was wearing that set of clothes and holding Chi Xiao in his hand, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly solemn.

So due to various factors, they forced Emiya to stay in the hospital bed for two days.

Now it seems that Emiya has recovered quite well, and his continuous vicious attacks have broken down the psychological defenses of the two of them.

After Croissant and Exiah calmed down, the Penguin Logistics people got in the car and left.

Those who were left in the office were thinking about what to do for lunch today.

Most of the time along the way, several people asked Emiya questions, and Emiya was responsible for answering them.

Before, they didn't ask some questions because they were worried about other people in the ward, but now that everyone in the car was their own, they didn't have to worry about that!

The first issue to be addressed is of course the Chi Xiao issue. After all, it is Chen Sir's weapon. Kong and Texas also witnessed Chen's embarrassing behavior of mistaking him for Chi Xiao.

And Emiya's answer was the same as it was then, that it succeeded suddenly, but if he wanted to replicate it he didn't know how to do it.

The details will have to wait until he goes back and studies the projected Chi Xiao.

"Hmm...I say, Emiya, is the food there good?"

The Archangel, who was sitting right behind the passenger seat, noticed a very subtle change.

So it seems that Emiya is taller?

In the past, I only saw a small amount of red hair, but why do I feel like I saw more today?

"Food? It's not bad. I cooked it all. Compared with what we usually eat, it should be slightly inferior."

Although I don't know why Archangel Exia suddenly asked this question, it's not something that can't be discussed, so Emiya answered it.

"I always feel like you've grown taller?"

Reaching out and patting Emiya on the head, then seeing that the other party's sitting posture was almost the same as usual, Exiah came to this conclusion.

Exiah is so hateful! Why is Emiya still growing taller?

"Have it?"

The height change is not as intuitive as other changes, so Emiya himself doesn't know about it.

After all, ordinary people won’t suddenly find that they have grown taller, right? Most people will only discover it subtly as time goes by.

"Absolutely! When you were sitting in the passenger seat, only a small part of your head was exposed, but now almost half of your head is exposed!"

Rubbing Emiya's head angrily, the Angel of Exiah complained.

They are all red-haired! Why!

In the past, she could easily tease the other person by calling her Emiya's sister, but as Emiya continued to grow taller, she no longer dared to call herself that.

Almost higher than her halo!

"Wow... I didn't know you cared so much about your height."

Seeing the helpless and furious look of Angelic, it was the first time that Croissant knew that besides wanting to take off the halo and have a good sleep, she also had such a wish.

The reason why a wish is a wish is that it is difficult to achieve.

The one that can be achieved is called a goal.

"I didn't care at first! We were all about the same height, so there was nothing to worry about. But now Emiya has suddenly started to grow taller, which will raise the average height of our Penguin Logistics!"

As he spoke, Archangel stopped what he was doing and sat back in his chair.

Come to think of it, she isn't alone!

Although Emiya is raising the average height, the four of them are also below average, so there is no problem!

Now Emiya is the only one isolated!

"?"

Emiya was suddenly attacked by Archangel Exia and before he could react, the opponent had already stalled.

Seeing the other person's indifferent look, Emiya began to feel that what Kazunari said was absolutely right. Women's emotional ups and downs are really very unpredictable.

"Don't mind it, that's her way of showing goodwill."

Looking at the question marks written all over Emiya's face, Texas felt that Emiya might need her hint.

"Ahem... That's not true. I really think Emiya betrayed us who are under 1.7 meters tall."

After hearing what his partner said, Archangel Exiah coughed twice and said.

Texas did not respond to Exia's sophistry. He took the Pocky handed to him by Sora and put it in his mouth, then continued driving his car.

"Ouch...I'm hurt! I need apple pie to comfort my broken heart!"

Seeing that Texas ignored him, Archangel let out a cry of grief.

"You didn't stay?"

After hearing what the Angel of Exiah said, Sora asked.

If she remembered correctly, Angel Power had just distributed a lot of apple pies? Didn't she leave any for herself?

"I just ate some this morning, and I thought there would be a party later, so I gave it all away..."

Sora's words instantly extinguished the heart of the Angel of Death, causing her to awkwardly sit in her position while trying to explain.

"Should I really say that she is worthy of being called Sister Neng?"

Covering his face, Croissant felt that this was very powerful.

But she really didn't want to admit that the other person was her teammate.

"Uh-huh."

The other three nodded silently, agreeing with Croissant's statement.

"What do you mean? I'm really hurt. It won't heal without Emiya's apple pie."

Seeing the four of them teaming up to bully him, Angel felt terrible.

I was just talking just now, but now I'm really hurt!

"You haven't given up yet?"

Croissant complained after hearing what Angel said.

It would be fine once or twice, but Emiya would almost always decline Exia's request for apple pie. The reason was simple: he would say that Exia made it very well and he didn't need to learn it specially, and it would be better to spend that energy on other desserts.

But no one believed what Emiya said.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emiya didn't want to be entangled by Archangel Exia and turned into a ruthless apple pie baking machine.

Croissant could guess what Emiya would say later, which would definitely be something like "I'll definitely talk to you next time" or "We'll talk about it when there's a chance" to politely refuse.

"Apple pie? That's no problem."

As a result, Emiya's answer was beyond the expectations of everyone present.

Oh my goodness! Did Exia secretly brainwash Emiya when she was rubbing his hair just now!?

Even Archangel was looking at his own hands, as if wondering if he had any special Originium skills that had not been discovered.

Even Texas, who was driving, was thinking about whether to turn back and let Emiya stay in the hospital for a few days to observe his condition.

"Why don't you say anything?"

As the air suddenly became quiet, Emiya turned his head and saw the concerned gazes from the three people in the back seat.

Emiya: "???"
