Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"Oh my, Emiya you are so popular!"

After making sure that Lappland had left, Minmin put on a strange smile and said to Emiya.

"Ah? That's someone I know from Texas?"

In response to Minmin's teasing, Emiya said with a puzzled look on his face.

Although helping the other party is not based on this, Emiya is simply helping the other party.

But judging from the way Lappland acted, if Texas wasn't an acquaintance, Emiya might not have been so dedicated.

Introducing the other party here should be the limit. If the other party wants to escape treatment later, there is nothing he can do.

Although the other person calls him mom, he is not the other person's real mother.

Putting aside the gender error, in terms of age he should be sure that he is younger than anyone who has ever shouted "fuck".

"Texas? Oh, the people from Penguin Logistics? Tsk, what a pity!"

After hearing what Emiya said, Minmin thought for a long time before she remembered who Texas was.

After all, we haven't met each other many times, so it's normal that I didn't think of you for a while.

At the same time, he put down the melon he was eating.

I thought Emiya had used his kindness to influence the girl again, but this is the result?

Dull.

"It's nothing to regret, right? And if she has any questions later, just contact me and I'll get there as soon as possible."

Emiya said, not understanding what the other party meant.

He was still a little surprised when he heard that Lappland had cooperated very well throughout the whole process, but Emiya thought about it and realized that the other person was quite normal except for his mouth.

Only when fighting or quarreling will the other side be revealed.

It turned out that he was the only one who was overly worried, but considering the other party's volatile personality, Emiya felt it necessary to explain it to Minmin.

"Got it. If there's nothing else, I'll get busy now. I need to study Miss Laplande's treatment plan carefully, so I won't send you off."

After nodding to show that she understood what Emiya meant, Minmin took her things and prepared to get busy.

There was nothing much to talk about. We had just had our blood drawn at noon, and we had talked about everything we needed to talk about.

And she is really busy.

"Well, I'll trouble you with Lapland's affairs and the children's matters."

Emiya also knew that the doctors here were very busy, and he had no intention of staying to chat.

"No, I'll contact you if there's any problem. Remember the next time for blood draw! And Amiya and the others seem to be planning to come to Longmen to meet you. I'll let you know if there's a confirmed time."

After saying that, Minmin turned around and went into her office, leaving Emiya alone outside.

"They look really busy... It doesn't seem right to bother them all the time. Shouldn't they make something easy to eat?"

Watching Minmin turn around and leave, Emiya began to wonder if he had been causing too much trouble to everyone in the office recently, and whether he should get something to eat.

He walked out of the office and looked at the time. It was a little later than the time he planned to return.

Although it’s a bit late, it’s still possible to buy some ingredients now and go home to cook a simpler meal. It should be ready in time for the usual meal time.

After determining the general direction, Emiya started shopping very quickly.

After spending so much time in the market, Emiya has a few shops that he frequently visits.

Finally, after buying some scaly beast meat from Ji and Uncle Dong, Emiya left the slums.

Finally, we managed to serve the meal on the table just in time for dinner.

"Are we having a scaly beast feast today?"

Croissant said as he looked at the scaly beast meat on his meal.

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

Although it is not as delicious as tumor meat or meat from meaty animals, it is still nice to eat occasionally.

Moreover, Emiya’s cooking skills are quite good and there is no fishy smell.

"Today's is pretty good. The skin of the fried scaly beast is crispy and the taste is quite good!"

The Archangel standing by also picked up the scaly beast meat in front of him and expressed his thoughts.

Sora and Texas nodded in agreement with Exiah's words and ate quietly.

Dinner at Penguin Logistics is so plain and simple, and most of the time it is Croissant and Exia who start the conversation.

But today, Texas was clearly distracted.

After taking a few bites of food, he looked in the direction of Emiya. After doing this for about a dozen times, Emiya finally put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked:

"What's wrong? Don't you like the food today?"

Emiya felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, so he naturally attributed the main reason to the fact that today's food might not be suitable for Texas' taste.

He can understand this, after all, everyone has different hobbies!

"No, dinner tonight was delicious, but...that..."

Hearing what Emiya said, Texas shook his head, then stammered and wanted to ask something.

"that…?"

Seeing that Texas looked a little abnormal, Emiya said in confusion.

Exia, Croissant and Sora on the side also shifted their attention from the dinner in front of them to Emiya and Texas.

After all, this is the first time I’ve seen Texas like this!

"Huh...did you meet Lappland today?"

After organizing the questions he wanted to ask, Texas took a deep breath and asked.

She noticed this the moment Emiya sat near the dining table.

Although most of it was covered by the fumes from cooking, there was still a hint of flavor.

It’s not that she is targeting Lappland, but Texas is worried that Lappland will bring a lot of trouble to Emiya.

Especially since Shirou has other acquaintances in the slums, it would be bad if he were implicated.

"Hmm? Yes, I happened to see her fighting with gang members when I went there today. I intervened to stop the fight, and she came to my house."

Upon hearing that the problem was not with the food he cooked but with Lappland, Emiya breathed a sigh of relief and told him what happened today.

"Did it embarrass you?"

After hearing what Emiya said, the first thing Texas thought of was that Lappland was not satisfied with the beating so he went to cause trouble for Emiya.

"That's not the case. She just suspected it was me. I was using a bow and arrow at the time."

Emiya shook his head. As for whether he was in trouble or not...it depends on the individual, but at least Emiya would definitely not say that he was in trouble now.

She came to my house and called me old lady, which must be embarrassing for him!

"Is that all?"

Texas continued to ask. She didn't think the other party would give up so easily. There must be other things behind this.

After all, if they were only in contact for such a short time, the smell on Emiya's body shouldn't be so strong that it would make her concerned.

"Well... her oripathy is very serious, so I took her to the Rhodes Island office for another checkup and prepared to have her receive follow-up treatment."

After confirming Texas' current condition, Emiya felt that it shouldn't be a big problem to reveal this matter to Texas first.

If Laplander refuses to accept follow-up treatment, he will ask Texas to persuade her.

Of course, he would also be prepared for the price, which was to make a chocolate cake using Texas' favorite brand of chocolate.

"I understand."

After ascertaining the cause and effect, Texas nodded and continued to eat quietly.

Only the Archangel next to him noticed that Texas seemed to be thinking about something.

It was a very subtle change, but Archangel still caught it.

In an instant, a battle between two wolves played out in the mind of the Angel of Death. Texas vs. Lapland, and Emiya hung a sign of the prize on the side...

It feels so hot-blooded!

She sure is Texan!

"Sister Neng, please stop laughing. I know you are very happy, but your smile is really not very pretty."

As for Sora and Croissant, they did not notice anything unusual about Texas. They just felt that the smile of Angelica was really weird.

So Croissant reminded Archangel, who immediately coughed twice and continued to eat the meal in his hands.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and had tidied up, it was time for everyone at Penguin Logistics to have fun.

At this time of day, Angelica and Croissant would be playing games on the sofa, while Sora, Texas, and Emiya would be reading books or using their phones at the table on the other side.

But today...Emiya felt something was strange while he was reading a book with headphones on.

Feeling a little hairy?

Taking his eyes away from the book in his hand, Emiya saw Texas, who was standing with his back to him.

I saw the other person leaning on a chair, seemingly using a cell phone.

What made Emiya feel horny was the other party's constantly shaking tail.

Because the other party had his back to him, the tail basically swept across his body every time it swung.

"That...Texas?"

After finding the source of the problem, Emiya plans to remind Texas.

"..."

Emiya did not receive a response from the other party.

And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Emiya always feels that the speed of the tail seems to have increased.

"Texas?"

While thinking about why Texas was acting so abnormal, Emiya patted him on the shoulder and called out his name.

"What's wrong?"

Texas turned around with a Pocky in his mouth. His tail stopped wagging and his face looked quite calm.

"Nothing, just reminding you that it's not good to sit like this, your body will get sore easily."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to notice what he had just done, Emiya decided to change his words.

Leaning on a chair is indeed a bad posture. It is okay if you do it occasionally, but if you maintain it for more than ten minutes, it will definitely be uncomfortable.

"……I see."

After hearing Emiya's answer, Dexas was silent for a moment, then sat up straight.

After making sure Texas was sitting upright, Emiya nodded in satisfaction.

As for the croissant and the light bulb man who were already slumped on the sofa, he ignored them because they were beyond help.

I don't ask you to sit up straight, but at least look up to the sky, right?

Look how straight Kong is sitting! The only ones who usually complain about backaches are those two!

Putting on his headphones, Emiya continued reading his book.

After about a few minutes, that fuzzy feeling came back.

After a quick look, he saw that Texas was still sitting upright, but his tail was not directly behind him. Instead, it came out from his direction and was shaking constantly.

"...?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, a question mark slowly appeared above Emiya's head.
