Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"I'm Emiya, the housekeeper at Penguin Logistics?"

Not knowing what to say, Emiya decided he should say something to avoid a dull silence.

"…Nice to meet you, Emiya. If you have any questions, you can contact me through this number. Also, please spare some time tomorrow. My boss and I need to evaluate your comprehensive physical examination. I think your body has recovered enough, right?"

Ignoring Emiya's cold attitude, Is finished speaking directly.

"Comprehensive medical test? What's that?"

Emiya understood what was said before, but he didn't quite understand this comprehensive physical examination test.

Is it just a simple physical examination test? Then why add a comprehensive one?

"It's just a simple assessment of your physical condition and combat capabilities. It will give us a better understanding of where you excel, or where you need to improve your weaknesses."

Is patiently explained to Emiya what the comprehensive physical examination test was.

"Whoa whoa…"

Emiya exclaimed.

Mainly because I couldn't understand it, but I still heard a few key words clearly, such as combat capability assessment.

"You'll understand when you get there. I've already sent you the address. Just get there around 10 a.m. tomorrow."

It seemed that this was not the first time that Yis had faced this situation. He simply made an appointment for the time and place, and he would have a general understanding when he actually met.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as long as the boss can understand it.

"Oh, okay, got it."

Although he didn't quite understand, Emiya still agreed to the other party's request.

As for the desserts that I promised to make for several people tomorrow, I have to postpone it.

"Please have a good rest tonight."

After saying that, Yi Si hung up the phone.

Looking at the hung up call and the new message, Emiya was thinking about what to do.

Tomorrow's work will definitely have to be postponed, but it's not a big problem as his current work intensity is not high.

The problem is that the dessert that I promised to make for a few people tonight will have to be postponed.

"Emiya, whose phone call is this? It's not from the Imperial Guards, right?"

The Archangel who was squatting nearby and eavesdropping openly asked.

She arrived around the time Emiya mentioned the comprehensive medical test, but I don't know what was said before that.

"Is called and asked me to make time tomorrow to do a comprehensive physical examination."

Pushing away the Archangel who was getting a little too close to him, Emiya took out the call records with Is on his cell phone.

"Oh, speaking of which, Emiya, it seems like you'll be going on long-distance trips with us in the future. Are you planning on being the deputy sniper?"

After seeing Is's call, Archangel let down his guard. As long as it wasn't someone from the Guard Bureau, everything else would be fine.

"Not sure, let's see when the time comes?"

Emiya did not insist on being in the sniper position. Rather than holding a crossbow or bow and arrow, he preferred to hold two swords.

However, his positioning should be more flexible. He can attack, defend, fight in close combat or at a long distance. His projection magic is quite arbitrary.

But to be honest, Emiya is still not sure about the overall combat strength of this land, after all, there is also the Originium technique here.

Currently, Emiya equates Originium skills with magic, and anyone who knows Originium skills can basically be considered a magician.

We can only wait and see the details of the level after the test in Isna tomorrow. If Penguin Logistics can do this set of tests, it means that this kind of test should be quite common here.

"Hmm...I wish you could be a warlock, Emiya. That way we wouldn't have to take a detour when facing those guys with big shields."

The Archangel prayed sincerely.

"What's going on? Is Excalibur fighting with Shield again?"

Croissant stuck her head out. Her favorite thing was to watch the Archangel helplessly rage at the shield.

After all, she was holding a shield, and although Archangel probably wouldn't shoot at her with a gun, the main thing was that it made her feel comfortable just by looking at her.

"Ugh... those guys with shields are so abominable!"

The Archangel let out a scraping sound.

"By the way, Emiya, are you going to take a comprehensive physical examination tomorrow?"

Texas stuck her head out. The conversation between Angelica and Emiya was quite loud just now, and they were all squatting nearby listening, so they heard it clearly.

"Comprehensive physical examination test... that thing is very tiring."

When Croissant mentioned the comprehensive physical examination test, she remembered the day when she had been hammering with a big hammer for the test. She had to continue hammering until her hands were numb.

No, no, thinking of this, her hands felt numb again.

"It's okay. Aren't they just simple tests? Just running or something."

Angel of Death thought back and in her memory it seemed like she just ran for a while, then fired a few rubber bullets with a gun and that was it.

"Stupid, the boss has done some extra testing specifically on the areas we're good at."

Texas corrected Angelica's words, saying that she had also chopped a lot of things with the Originium lightsaber.

"Is that so?"

Sora thought about it for a moment. She didn't seem very tired at the time. However, her Originium skills were related to sound, so it was more difficult to test.

“…I’ll be very nervous if you do this.”

Looking at everyone talking about their own things, Emiya felt a little panicked.

It's like a few guys who have finished an exam gathered together and talked about how difficult the exam was, and then he, who was about to take the exam, was surrounded by several people.

Anyone would be nervous, right?

"…Don't worry, it's very simple."

Croissant patted Emiya's shoulder to comfort him.

If Emiya remembers correctly, the most difficult and tiring one just now seemed to be the croissant.

"Forget it, you should go upstairs and go to bed."

Emiya gave up thinking, looked at the time and found that it was already quite late, so he began to urge a few people to go upstairs.

"Is it this late? Then let's go upstairs and sleep. Good night!"

Seeing Emiya urging them, the few of them hurriedly cleaned up the game consoles and the mess they had made, and then went upstairs.

Under normal circumstances, they might have stayed a while longer and continued to play, but they had just hurt a group of examinees, so in order to avoid retaliation, it was better for them to be obedient.

47 Is

"Um... is it this way?"

Emiya, using his cell phone to navigate, looked at the building in front of him.

From the words and patterns on the somewhat old sign, Emiya could tell that this building used to be a bowling alley, but it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

So the question is, why did the address given by Is lead him here?

Just as Emiya was comparing carefully and wondering if he had gone to the wrong place, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? Is that I? Wait a minute, I think I'm in the wrong place."

Seeing that the caller ID showed Is's name, Emiya picked up the phone hurriedly, thinking that the other party was urging him to hurry up.

"You didn't go wrong. Just push the door open and come in. The door is not locked."

Is's tone was quite calm, as if this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Ok."

Emiya thought about it and decided to do as Is said.

After pushing open the door, what came into Emiya's eyes was a somewhat messy... warehouse?

But compared to the shabby and old appearance outside, the inside is at least quite clean.

"This way."

A voice came from the side, and Emiya turned around to see a man in a suit with a... cat head?

No, at first glance it does look like a cat, but if you look closely you'll find that it doesn't look like any creature Emiya knows.

Looks like he's wearing a mask?

Before Emiya could think about it, the other party continued:

"This should be our first actual meeting, but we don't have much time, so I won't introduce you in detail. Please follow me."

Is said to Emiya and motioned for him to follow him.

After following the other person, Emiya discovered a staircase leading to the underground.

"Emiya, how much do you know about the work content of Penguin Logistics?"

Going underground, Is asked Emiya.

"Private courier company, armed transport group?"

Emiya was thinking about what he had learned about Penguin Logistics' work from asking a few people these days.

Since communication between regions was not well developed, the profession of messenger was born.

A messenger is someone who delivers information or specific items to a designated location, a bit like a postman, but a messenger is more likely to encounter danger because the items he delivers may be valuables or important information.

All of these may result in the courier being killed while carrying out his mission.

As for encountering natural disasters on the road, they are even more common. The life of a messenger is so colorful and rich.

"Well, it seems that they have explained the business of Penguin Logistics to you. Compared with ordinary couriers, we transport more things, and they are more dangerous. Sometimes we also take over some business of protecting people."

Since Emiya already had a certain understanding of Penguin Logistics' business, Is also added some other information.

"understood."

Emiya, who was listening on the side, nodded. What Is said was also said by Penguin Logistics and others, but what Is said was simpler and easier to understand.

Following Is's explanation, the two also came to the underground space of this stronghold.

Compared to the mess above, this side is much tidier.

Emiya saw a lot of strange facilities and obstacles. Thinking of the conversation between several people yesterday, Emiya began to feel a little nervous.

"They are all simple tests, don't worry too much."

Is said as he noticed that Emiya seemed a little nervous.

“What should I do first?”

After adjusting his mindset, Emiya got into the state a little bit.

He put the backpack and coat aside, and seeing the holy cloth in the backpack, Emiya thought for a moment and decided to wrap the holy cloth around his neck.

Ever since the last incident, Emiya has been keeping the holy cloth in his backpack.

"Let's start with something simple. Please carry these devices and run around here a few times."

With the help of Is, Emiya had some more equipment on him, which was very light and did not affect his movements.

Following his instructions, Emiya started running, of course without using any magic.

It took about an hour to complete the test, which included running, weightlifting, and an obstacle course.

"call…"

After completing a series of tests, Emiya did not feel much tired. It was indeed not that difficult, just a bit tedious.

"Physical strength, battlefield mobility, and physiological tolerance are all above standard, which is considered to be pretty good data."

Sitting in front of the computer, Is's hands never stopped, constantly analyzing relevant data. Emiya's current performance can be said to be quite good.

"Not bad?"
