Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Several guards walked towards the prisoner who had fallen to the ground, handcuffed him, and then began a simple inspection.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Emiya always feels like he’s surrounded.

"Thank you, gentleman, for your heroic assistance - did you expect me to say that? You are under arrest too!"

Shi Huaiya smiled and looked at Emiya, but Emiya always felt like he had seen him somewhere.

It seemed like the look I had seen on the faces of several people at Penguin Logistics in the morning, that kind of half-smile, which looked very scary.

"Um...can I ask why?"

Emiya raised his hand weakly and asked, "He probably didn't do anything that would get him arrested, right?"

"Do I even need to ask? A civilian suddenly attacks an infected person. Do you think you're playing a heroic game? If you make a mistake, you'll be dead. Look at your right hand! If it weren't for the Guards, that one shot would have given you a large area of ​​burns!"

After hearing Emiya's question, several tic-tac-toe marks appeared on Shi Huaiya's forehead. Then she walked in front of Emiya and pointed at his face with her finger. She moved forward a little with every sentence she spoke, and Emiya was forced to lean back.

"Well, I understand. I will pay attention next time."

Emiya looked at Shi Huaiya in front of him and raised his hands to show that he understood.

"Anyway, go to the Guards Bureau to take a statement, and also let the doctor take a look at your condition."

Seeing Emiya raising his hands as if he would do it again next time, Shi Huaiya withdrew his hands, sighed and said.

26 Guards Bureau

Longmen, interrogation room of the Guard Bureau.

"Name."

Shi Huaiya was drinking a cup of coffee and asking Emiya in front of her.

"Emiya Shirou."

Sitting opposite, Emiya was a little nervous. This was the first time in his life that he had entered such a place. How should he put it? It didn't feel as scary as he had imagined.

"What about gender?"

Shi Huaiya tapped the tablet in her hand and continued asking questions.

"…male."

Emiya didn't understand why he asked such an obvious question, but he replied with the mentality of answering whatever the people from the Imperial Guard asked.

"age."

"Ten... twenty."

Originally he wanted to answer seventeen, but then Emiya remembered that his boss had given him an identity that made it seem like he was twenty years old, so he answered according to his identity to avoid any more questions.

"Race."

Shi Huaiya didn't care about Emiya's hesitation just now. In her opinion, it was not strange that he would get his age wrong because of the difference between nineteen and twenty years old.

"Agor."

Agor didn't have any obvious characteristics, but Emiya just happened to fit the bill, so the emperor simply gave him an Agor race.

The main reason is that Emiya really doesn't have any obvious features, and the emperor doesn't know what race he is, so he can only pick one that is relatively similar.

"First of all, why are you in the Daiko Department Store?"

Shi Huaiya did not care too much about Emiya's race. After all, Emiya did not have any obvious characteristics and he was not a criminal, so there was no need to care too much about it.

"Um...I'm going to go shopping."

Emiya thought he would be asked directly why he confronted the criminal, but the first question was why he was in the mall.

He also truthfully stated the main purpose of his visit to the mall.

"You bought a backpack? Do you have a receipt?"

Shi Huaiya glanced at the brand new shoulder bag on Emiya. She recognized the brand. It was from a store in Daiko Department Store.

"Yes, here."

Emiya rummaged through his backpack, pulled out a receipt and handed it to Shi Huaiya.

"Yeah...that's right."

Shi Huaiya took a photo of the receipt and handed it back.

"Then why did you rush straight at the prisoner?"

Shi Huaiya placed the tablet in front of Emiya. On it was a surveillance camera image. In the image, Emiya was rushing towards the criminal, and the criminal just threw a flame.

"Because I just happened to see him locking onto a mother and her child and rushing over."

"So you just rushed towards the infected with your bare hands? Should I say you are careless or ignorant? Even if you are not afraid of death, there must be a limit, okay!"

After hearing Emiya's answer, Shi Huaiya felt a little headache. She always felt that this guy must be the kind of person who puts her behind everything.

She has seen many people like this, and most of them don't live long.

"Um...I'll be more careful next time."

Emiya knew he was in the wrong, after all, he was the one who interfered in the affairs of the Imperial Guard Bureau, and as a civilian.

"You want next time?"

Shi Huaiya stood up, slammed the table hard, and spoke loudly to Emiya.

"Ugh."

Shi Huaiya's sudden megaphone mode made Shi Huaiya's ears hurt a little.

"Hmph, anyway, you saw the criminal on the second floor and wanted to take hostages, so you jumped down from the second floor, right?"

Shi Huaiya sat back in her chair and leaned back against the backrest.

"Yes."

Emiya rubbed his ears which were still a little sore, and secretly complained in his heart that Shi Huaiya in front of him had a very loud voice.

Shi Huaiya naturally had no idea what Emiya was thinking. She just tapped the tablet with her fingers and showed the screen to Emiya.

It was the moment when Emiya used his right hand to bear the flames head-on.

"Although after examination, there is nothing serious, but you are very brave to withstand the spell like this. Do you have muscles all over your brain? Can't you dodge?"

Shi Huaiya smiled at Emiya and said that before that, they were just small problems, but Emiya's behavior was the most dangerous.

"Ah ha ha…"

Emiya had no explanation and could only smile awkwardly, which made Shi Huaiya have a lot more crosses on her head.

"And the cloth wrapped around your right hand, you said it's something important, right?"

Shi Huaiya took a deep breath and then asked.

When Emiya was being examined, the cloth on his right hand caused a small commotion, and Emiya was once thought to be an infected person who was hiding his identity. Fortunately, there was nothing under the other person's right hand, and the reason for the entanglement was just that this was a very important thing and he had to carry it with him.

*Longmen swears* Put it in my bag! Don’t you know that it will easily cause misunderstanding if it’s tangled around your body? Shi Huaiya really wanted to roar at Emiya like this, but she still held back.

"Yes, I will find a way to carry it later so that it won't be wrapped around my right hand anymore."

Emiya didn't expect things to be so serious. He just carried the Holy Shroud with him in the way that was most convenient for him.

When he is at home, it will disturb him when he is cleaning and cooking, so I put it in the room. When he is outside, it is basically wrapped around his right hand.

Even Penguin Logistics and others still don't know this. If they knew, they would probably suggest Emiya to find a different way to carry it.

"That's good, then the problem is almost solved."

Shi Huaiya took the tablet back and tapped it a few times to make sure there were no major problems. All that was left was a simple finishing touch.

This time, it was just a formality, so Shi Huaiya didn't delve into many things, such as why the second-floor landing posture was a toilet squat, wouldn't it hurt your feet that way?

And why a piece of cloth can resist spells and such.

There are actually many questions that can be asked, but Shi Huaiya is not a criminal, so Shi Huaiya also respects his privacy.

"it's over?"

Hearing that it was finally over, Emiya finally relaxed a little.

Although Shi Huaiya's attitude just now was more like chatting than questioning, Emiya was still not used to such an atmosphere.

"Not yet, just complete the basic information."

Shi Huaiya tapped the table with her fingers a few times to get Emiya to focus.

"You came to Longmen about a month ago, right? What brought you, an Agor, to Longmen?"

Shi Huaiya put the tablet aside and asked.

"for work."

The Emperor had specifically reminded Shirou that if anyone asked him why he came to Longmen, he should just say it was for work and they would take care of the rest.

"Oh? Where do you work?"

Shi Huaiya's eyes became quite sharp, because Emiya's information did not mention his occupation.

So either there's something wrong with Emiya's profession, or he's just lying.

“I’m currently working at Penguin Logistics.”

The moment Emiya finished speaking, he saw the Imperial Guard personnel who were responsible for recording and Shi Huaiya were looking at him with complicated expressions.

27 This is the only thing I will never forget

"It's Penguin Logistics?"

"It looks so normal."

"What a pity for such a spirited young man."

The three guards who were taking notes were whispering to each other.

"???"

Emiya had a face full of question marks, not understanding why the people in the Imperial Guard Bureau would react like this.

Could it be that... the people at Penguin Logistics are actually very familiar with the people at the Guard Bureau?

Why do their voices sound a little off?

“Are you from Penguin Logistics?”

Shi Huaiya looked at the Penguin Logistics work permit that Emiya handed to her with a puzzled look on her face.

Looking at Emiya's clear eyes that had not been ravaged by society, he felt pity.

I guess it won’t be long before this guy becomes as crazy as those people at Penguin Logistics.

"Ugh."

Thinking of this, Shi Huaiya sighed and felt sorry.

What a good person he is! Although he was a little impulsive, his courageous attitude would be great if he was a member of the Imperial Guards.

Why did it have to be someone from Penguin Logistics?

"Um...what's wrong?"

Seeing Shi Huaiya first asking him if he was from Penguin Logistics and then sighing, Emiya knew that the people from Penguin Logistics didn't seem to have a very good reputation in the Guards Bureau.

But he didn't even understand the content of Penguin Logistics' work, so how could he know the love-hate relationship between Penguin Logistics and the Guard Bureau?

"Penguin Logistics, Penguin Logistics, you will understand later, it is better to leave Penguin Logistics now."

Shi Huaiya repeated the name of Penguin Logistics several times, then patted Emiya on the shoulder and spoke seriously.

Shirou seemed to be able to see the other party gritting his teeth when he read the four words "Penguin Logistics".

"That probably won't work."

Emiya could only awkwardly reject Shi Huaiya's suggestion. After all, the people from Penguin Logistics had helped him so much, he couldn't just leave. That was not in line with his style of doing things.

"It seems that you have your own ideas, but you must not become like them, understand?"

Shi Huaiya did not forcefully ask Emiya to leave. After all, it was only the first time they met. The only reason she said so much was because she admired what Emiya had done.
