Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

The other party even recommended Emiya that it would be best to take Anso to Rhodes Island to take a look.

Thinking of this, Emiya was no longer thinking about whether the medical facilities on the ship were sufficient, but how big Rhodes Island was.

An oversized land-based medical ship?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became really interested in Rhodes Island.

I'll ask a few people when I get back! Who knows?

In such a cheerful atmosphere, the Rhodes Island team arrived at the location arranged by Shi Huaiya.

"Well... if it weren't for the words coming out of those people's mouths, we really wouldn't be able to find this place."

The first thing to do after arriving at the destination is to start arranging the positions of people. After all, unlike the previous attack, this time the goal is to block the door.

To put it simply, the other party just blocked them with explosives, and now it is the turn of the people from Rhodes Island to block them here.

Ace looked at the surrounding houses and expressed his thoughts.

Although the streets here cannot be said to be clean and tidy, at least you can see that someone is tidying them up and there are signs of human life.

There are still some lights on in the house nearby, which explains a lot.

No one would have thought that the other party would choose to trade in the sewer in a residential area with so many people, right?

Fortunately, this is a small alley, otherwise ordinary people would probably report it to the Guard Bureau if they saw a group of people wearing thick equipment gathered together.

"Is this what they call the darkest place under the lamp? Mr. Ace and Ms. Razer, please keep your shields in your hands and pay attention to the situation at all times. Ms. Huang and Ms. Franka, please also be ready to take action immediately at any time."

After arranging the positions of the personnel, Amiya began to tell them what they should do.

Although it is basic common sense in combat for the heavy-armored soldier to keep the shield in hand and for the attacker to be able to attack at any time, everyone present also understands this.

But Amiya will not stop issuing instructions just because everyone should know about this.

During combat, just the slightest negligence can cause the failure of the entire operation, or even casualties, so we must never take it lightly.

"Mr. Emiya... Please, go with Vanilla and Jessica to keep watch over the surroundings. If the Imperial Guards need you, just go over there."

When mentioning Emiya, Amiya thought about it and did not force him to do any work.

After all, when Shi Huaiya handed Emiya over to their team, she specifically mentioned this matter.

Although the Imperial Guard hopes that Emiya can have a good rest after this operation, they will still call on him if the situation is really too difficult.

That's why she asked Emiya to act together with the Rhodes Island team and arranged for the Rhodes Island team to come up.

I just hope things don't come to that.

"Okay, I'll go up to the building first. Please trouble Miss Jessica and Miss Vanilla to be alert around us."

After receiving Amiya's instructions, Emiya nodded to show that he had received them, and at the same time handed over the ground reconnaissance to Vanilla and Jessica.

The main reason is that we are not familiar with each other, and it is a bit awkward and inconvenient to act together.

It would be better to let him go up to the higher place alone.

"Okay, you just need to coordinate with Mr. Scout on this."

Faced with Emiya's proposal, Amiya accepted it.

Then Emiya picked a building nearby and climbed up nimbly.

Since the operation in the slums, Emiya feels that his wall-climbing skills have improved a lot!

Although I always feel like there's something strange written somewhere.

"He's a tough guy. He actually climbed up there with his bare hands. If I didn't have equipment and a point to apply force, I would have to take the stairs."

Seeing Emiya climb up the tall building with nimble hands and feet, everyone on Rhodes Island below had a look of confusion on their faces.

Kirei even commented on Emiya's behavior.

"No, no, no, this is weird, isn't it? Isn't he from the Royal Guards? Is it really okay for him to be so skilled at climbing walls?"

Listening to Huang's praise, Franka started to complain.

"Maybe it's a compulsory course for the Guards?"

Razer considered this possibility seriously.

“…I can hear you, okay?”

Emiya, who was on the rooftop enjoying the breeze, said speechlessly, "They are now in a communication state. Do you really think he can't hear you?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, you stay on guard and we'll continue working here."

After hearing the person involved complain, everyone immediately stopped talking about the topic.

This is especially true for Franka, who received the most complaints.

"Really...Scout, can you see me over there?"

The communicator went silent, but the people below seemed to be still talking. Emiya guessed that they had turned off their microphones.

Well, Scout just recommended this gun to me, so it's nice to have some free time.

But before that, you have to check your position with the other party.

"You can see me. I'm at the two o'clock direction you are facing now."

Scout said this quite calmly, which was completely different from how he was just now.

"Two o'clock...Yes, I see you."

After stretching out his hand and comparing it briefly, Emiya found the direction of two o'clock and saw the other person's figure on a building not far away.

"I'm in stealth mode... Emiya, are you sure you don't want to consider it?"

Seeing that Emiya locked onto his position immediately and even stretched out his hand to say hello, Scout's desire to sell was rekindled.

"We'll talk about it next time. Action comes first."

Then it was extinguished by Emiya.

After the two of them briefly allocated the reconnaissance range, Emiya's communicator finally fell silent.

Standing on the rooftop, Emiya felt the cool breeze.

At the same time, the replaced Guards' tactical jackets were also blown up by the strong wind.

"..."

He actually understood that Chen Sir and the others were concerned about his physical condition, but the feeling of being given special care was not very good.

But he could understand what they were worried about, so he cooperated with them.

Everyone in Rhode Island was very welcoming and I didn't have too much trouble adapting.

Even though it was Scout who was frantically promoting the beauty of the gun, Emiya actually felt that what he said made sense.

If we ignore magic, firearms are indeed quite useful.

Convenient, fast and lethal enough.

But once magic is used, firearms are not powerful enough.

And...if I want to project, I should be able to project some guns based on that memory.

But as he said at the beginning, firearms did not fit his tactics.

However, I heard from Archangel Exia that some people in Lateran would install daggers on their guns, which gave them an additional means of attack at close range.

This type of weapon, Emiya remembers it being called... a gun sword? Or a spear blade?

Never mind, it's not important. A single gun doesn't fit the strategy, let alone a gun blade?

That thing doesn't look like it's very easy to operate.

But... it looks pretty cool?

If you don't care about practicality, Emiya thinks it's still worth referring to.

210 was kicked down, so it's no problem!

Let's put the question about the gun blade aside for now. Emiya has no reference to look at right now, and he doesn't have the magic power to actually operate it.

Shifting his attention to the area he was investigating, Emiya quickly got into the state.

There is Scout helping with reconnaissance on the other side, so Emiya only needs to focus on his own area.

It was no different from usual, just the Longmen slums at night, except that the buildings were shorter and the streets were dirtier than in the downtown area of ​​Longmen, but Emiya was already used to it.

In fact, Emiya would rather call it the lower city area, but most people are used to calling this place the slums, so he followed everyone and called it that.

He had no intention of being different; that would only cause communication problems.

As long as he remembers this kind of thing, it will be fine.

"Well...it's not easy for these people either."

Emiya noticed the people who were still working at this time of night.

Life is not easy, whether you are living in the slums or in the city of Longmen.

At least some of the people from the Guard Bureau are working overtime here now.

"Emiya, did you find anything?"

After hearing Emiya's voice, Amiya asked about the situation.

"Sorry, nothing's wrong, just talking to myself."

After being asked this by Amiya, Emiya realized that he seemed to have just spoken out his inner thoughts, but fortunately he didn't think of anything strange.

For example, complaining about Huang, Scout, Franka, and Razer.

"If you're tired, just take a break. It's okay. Mr. Scout can handle the investigation work as well."

Thinking of the concerns of the three people in the Imperial Guard Bureau, Amiya felt that it would be better not to worry too much about Emiya.

To be honest, although Emiya seemed to be fine after withstanding the explosion just now, he still took the explosion head on. Even she, who was far away, could clearly feel the turbulence.

Moreover, the other party has been working hard all the way, so it is inevitable that he will be tired.

"Well... I'll trouble you, Scout. I'll take a short break."

After weighing his condition again and again, Emiya decided that taking a break wouldn't be a bad idea.

His recent mental state is indeed not as good as before. The frequent nightmares and reflections in the mirror make him quite irritable. Although it has improved a little recently, it still has some impact.

The main reason he accepted it is that there are more people here now. If it were him before, he would probably force himself to cheer up and continue working, right?

But now Emiya chooses to follow Amiya's advice and take a rest.

But it's not like they've completely given up, they've just narrowed the scope of investigation to make the work less intense.

There was no way Emiya could just leave all the work to others.

With a light click, he turned off the microphone on the communicator. Now, Emiya didn't have to worry about anyone hearing him talking to himself.

At the same time, he also re-examined his current situation.

His physical condition was fine, his magic power was also okay, but his mental state was a little lacking.

Although I can force myself to cheer up and continue working, I can't do that in a battle where I don't know how long it will take.

It is important to take a proper rest... Who said this?

Is it Angel or Croissant? Or Sora or Texas?

Hmm...it seems like neither of them...it seems like it was Rin?

If it were someone from Penguin Logistics, they would probably let him lie down and have a good rest for a day, right?

But he was not sure about this. His own memory was still fragmented. Apart from some images that occasionally flashed in his dreams, he could not remember anything else.

Moreover, only the dream about his broken hand was relatively real and clear, the others were quite fragmentary.

To be honest, some of them are not even suitable for children.

Speaking of rest...it seems like he hasn't had a good rest in a long time.

Even in his spare time, he was constantly absorbing information and knowledge from this land, as well as honing his magic and physical fitness.

But that doesn't mean Emiya hates this kind of life. Although it's quite tiring, his life is relatively fulfilling.
