Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

She can still clearly distinguish between bickering and work.

The main reason is that the Guard Bureau still needs someone to watch over it in the morning. Just look at the dark circles under their eyes that can't be covered even with thick makeup to know how hard it is.

This is one of the rare times when she didn't start arguing with Changfenlong right away.

"Not bad. I have submitted all the data and evidence. I am just waiting for Chief Wei's reply."

Similar to Shi Huaiya, Chen didn't have much desire to argue with the other party.

Mainly because I’m tired.

"That's pretty good. I got so much in one night."

Shi Huaiya nodded and said as she opened her own lunch box.

"Thanks to Emiya, I found a lot of useful information, and the information from Penguin Logistics is really great. Do you know how touched I was when I saw the organized information this morning?"

Xingxiong on the side said.

When he saw the information sent by Emiya in the morning that had been organized and even classified, Hoshiguma felt for the first time that Penguin Logistics was actually quite good.

Although he often causes trouble for their Guards, he is truly reliable at times like this!

"I heard that Is worked overtime all night... I hope he's okay."

Regarding this, Emiya felt it necessary to thank Is.

Even though he had said it was not necessary, Is still worked overtime all night to review the surveillance cameras and organize the entire set of intelligence.

Thanks, Isis! Thumbs up to Isis!

Although the other party took a lot of money, but Chen Sir and Xingxiong paid for it, so it’s no problem!

"Penguin Logistics...?"

Listening to the conversation between several people, Shi Huaiya began to consider whether to cooperate with Penguin Logistics.

"Iss usually doesn't take orders like this?"

Seeing that Shi Huaiya seemed to be interested, Emiya reminded her carefully.

As for the issue of money, he was not worried. Shi Huaiya seemed to be much richer than he had imagined. He heard that most of the money was invested by the other party himself.

What Emiya is worried about is that Is might die while making money.

Moreover, if the information is not from within, Single Yis will not handle it so well. Basically, they will just simply collect it and hand it over.

"Pity."

Shi Huaiya was not discouraged by this, he just felt it was a pity.

Although she likes this job very much, it is impossible for her to invest her money in it unconditionally.

Except for Shi Huaiya, the other three returned to their seats to catch up on their sleep after finishing their meal.

The desk where Emiya worked during his internship was still empty, so he took a short break here, and then went to the slums after finishing his work in the afternoon.

"Why do you feel busier than when you were doing internship?"

Emiya, who had just laid down and was arranging his follow-up time, suddenly thought of this question.

He actually didn't have any desire to sleep, but he was mentioned many times that his mental state seemed to be very bad, so he decided to give himself a rest.

Forget what one or two people said, just now basically anyone who knew him would show some concern for him.

This is not good.

Is it mainly because I was too frightened this morning?

This is barbaric and normal.

As he was thinking, Emiya couldn't fall asleep even when work started.

"..."

Emiya expressed despair, but he still got up and prepared to deal with what needed to be done.

The first was the battle plan that the two of them had put together all night long. There was an abridged version on Emiya's phone, so he just glanced over it.

After I came here in the morning, I was taken directly to the sniper range and didn’t have time to take a look.

Now that he has some free time, Emiya plans to take a look at this first.

If Emiya remembers correctly, the original version seemed to be that he would wait a few days for the other party to make a deal and then rush over to suppress and arrest them?

Although the reality may not be as simple and crude as he said, that is how he understands it.

Compared to the original version, this version is much more complicated.

What are the initial, mid-term and final suppression actions?

But the previous part has nothing to do with Emiya. He was only entrusted with the final part of suppression.

Just find out the time, place and appearance of the suspect, and don't hurt other innocent people by mistake.

"Are you serious? Is there anything you don't understand?"

After watching Emiya for a while, Hoshiguma came forward to show his concern and brought Emiya a can of cold canned coffee.

"Is there anything you don't understand? My job isn't difficult."

Emiya didn't hesitate and took the coffee that Xingxiong handed over to him.

Although it was brought by the other party, he had brought this coffee a while ago and placed it in the office refrigerator as a treat for everyone, so naturally there was no reason to refuse.

"Although it doesn't look difficult, you have the heaviest responsibility and there are many things you need to pay attention to. The actual actions are far from being described on these few pieces of paper. Don't always think your work is so unimportant."

After hearing what Emiya said, Xingxiong thought for a moment and said.

It wasn't that she wanted to add psychological pressure to Emiya, but she wanted to let him know what kind of work she was doing.

After spending some time together, Hoshiguma discovered that Emiya often put himself in a relatively low position.

If you just lower your posture occasionally, it is still within a reasonable range.

But Shirou basically puts himself in a low position, thinking that what he did is not worth mentioning and that all the credit goes to others.

This is not good.

Hoshiguma still hopes that Emiya knows how many responsibilities he has shouldered, what kind of work he has completed and what kind of credit he has received.

If you keep suppressing and exploiting yourself, you will eventually lose yourself.

A little honor, a little appreciation, a little encouragement, or even a thank-you card can make this kind of people face themselves again.

"I understand what you said, and it's still within the range that I can handle."

After listening to what Xingxiong said, Emiya nodded and said.

He didn't understand the deeper meaning behind it, he just simply thought that Xingxiong asked him to look carefully so as not to make any mistakes.

“…Do your best.”

Looking at Emiya's appearance, Xingxiong slapped him hard on the back and left.

"???"

The sudden palm strike startled Emiya.

Although my physical condition is not as bad as before when I was hit, it still hurts a little.

You should know that according to some people who are familiar with Star Bear, Star Bear can lift cars.

You can ask him to blow up the car or cut it in half, but if you ask him to lift it up... I guess it can only be done for very small cars.

And I heard that the other party lifted it very easily and comfortably, so it seems that it is not his limit.

"Did you make Xingxiong angry?"

Chen, who heard the noise, stepped forward to check on the situation.

"No?"

Emiya shook his head in confusion.

“That’s strange…”

Chen also fell into confusion.

Based on her understanding of the two of them, Emiya and Hoshikuma are basically the type who don't easily quarrel with others, and even getting angry is quite rare.

Unable to figure out the reason, the two could only put aside their doubts and continue to devote themselves to their work.

After Emiya finished what he needed to do, he prepared to leave. At about four or five o'clock, he would come back to the Imperial Guard Bureau to conduct the night search.

This time, I went to the slums not only to visit Fuyuki Store, but also to check the blockers in Fuyuki Store.

Although they were all purchased from regular stores, when he thought about such a terrible incident, Emiya felt that there was nothing wrong in checking them out briefly.

Be more prepared so that you won’t be caught off guard when you encounter problems.

I also wanted to have a good chat with Ansuo about the process of purchasing blockers in the alleys of the slums.

I don’t know whether the other party has bought it before, but even if he hasn’t, the other party’s identity as a former intelligence dealer should be able to provide him with a lot of ideas.

"Hmm? Emiya, are you leaving?"

In the corridor, Shi Huaiya, who was about to return to the office, saw Emiya who was ready to leave with his backpack, so she went up to him and greeted him.

"Well, it's time to go visit the children at this hour."

Emiya nodded without hiding anything.

"Kids? Um... never mind that. Didn't you look in the mirror after you woke up from your nap? Look at your hair, it's all messed up."

Shi Huaiya was probably one of the few people Emiya knew who didn't know what he did in the slums.

However, she would not ask too much about things she didn't know. After all, compared to this matter, what she cared about most right now was Emiya's hair that was messed up because of sleeping on his stomach.

As she spoke, Shi Huaiya took out the small mirror she always carried in her bag, ready to let Emiya see what she looked like now.

"Ah! Just do it casually! I have something urgent to do here! If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"

Seeing Shi Huaiya take out the mirror, Emiya simply touched his head with both hands and then left in a hurry.

"Gah?"

Shi Huaiya was left behind with a small mirror in her hand.

1/17 Leave request

Although it’s not a good idea to ask for leave like this, my hands are already numb, so I’d better take a day off. Otherwise, it would be funny if I couldn’t move things during the New Year due to injuries.

Let’s talk about the cause and effect.

At first, it was because I had been sitting for a long time recently, so my waist was a little sore.

Later I made an appointment with a masseur, but it was all in vain. The back pain problem was not solved, and the upper right back, where the shoulder blade is, was in severe pain.

It's the kind that feels numb and painful when left alone, and stinging when moving.

And my waist hasn't gotten any better, it's still sore.

I felt that this was not working, so a few days later I went to see the massage master recommended by my mother.

This master is really the best.

My right side still hurts, and then my left side starts to hurt, and my neck seems to be a little twisted.

(He had to lie down while the master operated on him, as the bed was a bit smaller)

Now the left and right are balanced. Is this what balance feels like...?

I hope the New Year can pass by, otherwise I will be forgotten sooner or later.

Anyway, that's it for now. I still have leave requests for this month, so I'm just asking for one more day.

This also means that I won't have much chance to ask for leave in the future, otherwise I will have to work full time and...

Ugh...

Are there still 2024 months and 11 days until 14?

In addition, the plot also needs to be sorted out, as there are many characters that will appear later.

This is it for now, leave request date 2023/01/17.
