Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"Hmm? I remember a few housewives were chatting over there and I overheard it."

Emiya, who was still thinking about what vegetables to buy, came to his senses and pointed at the vegetable stall nearby.

"…housewife?"

Shi Huaiya was wondering if she had heard it wrongly.

She just heard the word housewife, right?

"Well, they were chatting quite loudly at that time, and I happened to hear them when I was picking vegetables nearby."

After thinking about it, Emiya felt that he should clarify that he was not eavesdropping, but the other party was too loud so he heard it.

"Wait, let me slow down for a moment."

Rubbing his little head, Shi Huaiya was first shocked at this news channel, then confused, and finally felt that there seemed to be no problem.

The information obtained from this kind of folk conversation is the most authentic, but as for housewives... I guess a lot of information has to be filtered out.

"Then I'll go over there first. Call me if you need anything."

Looking at Shi Huaiya who was lost in thought, Emiya said something and went to pick vegetables.

Due to Penguin Logistics, Sora is the only one who eats more vegetables, so Emiya just picked the ones Sora likes. As for the other three who like bread, snacks, and Pocky, they can eat happily as long as the meat is prepared.

It's OK for Lupo to eat meat, and it seems reasonable for Fengti to eat meat, but is it really okay for Sakta to eat meat?

"No, no, Sora is also Lupo but he loves to eat vegetables, so we can't judge habits based on race."

Shaking his head, Emiya threw away all the impolite thoughts in his mind, quickly paid the bill and left, the whole thing took less than a few minutes.

Shi Huaiya, who was standing by, watched Wei Gong walk in smoothly, choose the food, negotiate the price, and pay the bill, and she was full of questions.

How come Emiya's life is not the same as the Penguin Logistics she imagined, but is also so down-to-earth?

"How come you are so skilled?"

Shi Huaiya asked when she saw Emiya coming over with a big bag of vegetables.

"Skilled? Skilled in what?"

Emiya, who didn't quite understand what Shi Huaiya meant, showed a questioning expression.

"Nothing, do you usually come here to buy things?"

Realizing that he had behaved inappropriately, Shi Huaiya changed his words.

"Normally I would go to a nearby supermarket, but the Angels of Exiah said it's not that safe here, so I shouldn't come here alone."

"I usually go to the supermarket... Don't come alone..."

In the eyes of Penguin Logistics, the force value is relatively low, and Shi Huaiya sensed something is wrong with the smooth shopping process just now.

She seemed to have imagined Emiya to be too strong?

According to the current known information, Emiya's combat capability in Penguin Logistics seems to be not optimistic. Even a person approaching the slums is judged to be dangerous. It seems that the incident at the Daiko Department Store was prevented from causing greater damage because of the intervention of the Royal Guard Bureau.

In other words, Emiya might be an ordinary person who is a bit reckless?

And she overestimated Emiya's fighting ability and brought him to a dangerous place?

Seeing that Shi Huaiya seemed to be thinking, Emiya did not go forward to disturb her. Instead, he glanced at the people around him and then went directly to the seafood stall to pick fish.

"You're here? Today's fish are all good. Come take a look."

The boss yawned and greeted Emiya.

"Well, the fish we had last time were pretty good. I happened to be here with someone this time, so I might as well buy some to take back."

While selecting the fish, Emiya chatted with the boss.

"Um... girlfriend?"

The boss asked, glancing at the person Emiya was talking about.

He didn't recognize Shi Huaiya. After all, Shi Huaiya was now dressed more simply and wearing a big hat.

"No, just... friends."

He originally wanted to say that he was from the Imperial Guard Bureau, but after thinking about the gazes he had just felt, Emiya changed his words and said he was a friend.

"I understand, I understand. I'll give you a discount today."

Seeing Emiya's hesitation, the boss took the fish from Emiya's hand and skillfully gutted them.

In response to his boss's words, Emiya just smiled bitterly and didn't explain much.

"Why are you here, Emiya?"

After coming back to her senses, Shi Huaiya originally wanted to ask Emiya directly some questions, but found that Emiya was gone. She looked around before finding Emiya in front of the seafood stall.

"Buy fish. The owner here is pretty nice and the fish is very fresh."

Holding a large bag of fish he had just received, Emiya introduced them to Shi Huaiya.

But if he knew that a piece of clothing on Shi Huaiya could equal two months' food expenses for everyone in Penguin Logistics, he probably wouldn't have introduced her like that.

"I wonder what brings you here?"

After seeing Shi Huaiya's face up close, the boss also recognized who she was.

After all, he was usually taken care of by Officer Xingxiong, so he naturally recognized who Shi Huaiya was, but he just didn't know why the other party appeared here.

"…Nothing, I just went out with him to buy groceries. Emiya, we should go now."

When Shi Huaiya saw the boss, she was stunned for a moment. The other party looked like a ruthless character, and he was holding a bloody knife in his hand. Shi Huaiya almost took out handcuffs to arrest him.

After calming down a little, Shi Huaiya used Emiya as a shield, then took Emiya's hand and left.

39 Shocked the Little Tiger for a Whole Year

Emiya, who was being pulled by Shi Huaiya, did not struggle and let the other party pull him away, but he still politely asked the reason:

"What's wrong? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

"Don't you think that boss looks a little weird?"

After pulling Emiya a short distance away, Shi Huaiya whispered.

"boss?"

He turned his head and looked at the owner of the seafood stall. Although the distance was very far, Emiya could still see that the owner seemed to be looking in their direction, and the expression on his face was more of worry.

"I just felt uncomfortable there, and the boss was not right. I almost wanted to handcuff him and arrest him. Hiss─I still feel a chill on my back now."

Shi Huaiya rubbed her arms as she walked, and her words made Emiya understand that he was not the only one who felt those strange gazes just now, but Shi Huaiya also felt it, so it was not that he was too sensitive.

However, the sight did not decrease as they left there, so Shi Huaiya felt that the claim that there was something wrong with the boss could be refuted.

However, Emiya did not tell Shi Huaiya. After all, he had to walk away from her for a long distance before the sense of sight and malice disappeared. This time, he should have to walk far away before the sense of sight would disappear.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Emiya always feels that the malice he feels this time is obviously much stronger than last time. If last time it was just turbid sewage, then this time it's a bit like mud-like thickness.

Shirou felt a little uneasy about this and hoped that this was just his illusion.

"By the way, Emiya, what do you do at Penguin Logistics?"

After being away from the market, Shi Huaiya felt a little safer psychologically and asked the question she had just wanted to ask Emiya.

She had already mentally simulated that Emiya was a newcomer in Penguin Logistics' armed forces, or was in charge of clerical logistics.

But Emiya's answer still made her almost fall on the road.

"I am responsible for taking care of other people at Penguin Logistics. If you really want to say it... I am a housekeeper?"

After thinking about his usual work content for a while, Emiya replied that as for the content of the new work assigned to him by his boss, it was still unclear, so it was better not to mention it.

"Housekeeper...? No, housekeeper husband?"

No matter how much Shi Huaiya planned, she never considered that Emiya was a housekeeper at Penguin Logistics, and even though she was surprised, she still said she obeyed him.

Shocked the little tiger for a whole year!

"That's what the boss said. My job is to take care of everyone at Penguin Logistics, clean their rooms and prepare their meals."

Although he didn't know why Shi Huaiya was so surprised, Emiya still explained it to her carefully.

“…No wonder you’re so skilled.”

After thinking for a long time, Shi Huaiya didn't know what she should say.

"???"

So what exactly is proficiency? Can you tell me the whole story?

Recently, Emiya feels a little cold towards such behavior of leaving things half-said.

Before Emiya could feel disgusted by such half-sentenced behavior, he realized something was wrong and slowed down his pace and moved closer to Shi Huaiya.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing that Emiya suddenly leaned close to her, Shi Huaiya asked.

Just now, Emiya basically kept a distance from her all the way, why did he suddenly come close to her now?

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. Either Emiya's eyes have finally started to work, or Emiya has noticed something wrong.

Based on Emiya's previous reaction to her, Shi Huaiya chose the latter without hesitation.

"It felt like someone was aiming something at us."

Since he noticed that the voice came from behind, Emiya was actually walking a little behind Shi Huaiya. As the two of them were about the same height, or to be more precise, Emiya was slightly taller, so Emiya spoke directly into Shi Huaiya's ear.

"Ouch, stop blowing in my ear."

Covering her right ear, Shi Huaiya said to Emiya with an angry expression.

Emiya was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party reacted like that, but he still obediently kept a distance from Shi Huaiya.

In fact, Shi Huaiya was not angry, he just wanted to avoid being discovered.

If someone was really watching her and Emiya as Emiya said, then Emiya's behavior just now was too obvious.

So Shi Huaiya simply turned Emiya's behavior just now into an attempt to play a prank on her. Although it was still a bit unnatural, at least she could get away with it.

Maybe?

Obviously things did not go as smoothly as Shi Huaiya had imagined.

Emiya reached out and pulled Shi Huaiya aside, and the next second a crossbow arrow was inserted into the two people's original positions.

"Let's fight! Let's fight!"

When the other people and vendors around saw this, they skillfully found places to hide.

However, Emiya could still see that they had a pair of eyes, looking at the battle situation here curiously.

"*Longmen swears* Stop looking, hide quickly."

Looking at the curious eyes of the people around her, Shi Huaiya cursed angrily, then pulled Emiya to find other shelter.

She regretted it so much now. How could she be attacked by such a coincidence?

"This way."

Shirou turned over an empty table and followed Shi Huaiya to hide behind it.

"Table? No need to use a crossbow, just someone can throw a stone and smash it to pieces!"

Seeing that Emiya chose to use the table as a cover, Shi Huaiya could be sure that this guy must have very little combat experience.

How can you expect a table to block an attack? It's made of plastic!

She could smash this broken table with just one punch!

“Trace on!

The basic structure is explained.

Explanation of the material composition,

Reinforcement completed."

Emiya placed his hands on the bottom of the table and quickly strengthened it.

Choosing a table as a shelter is simply because it is nearby. Choosing other shelters would easily involve other people.
