Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Exiah said that she could not tolerate Alina's provocative behavior, and asked Emiya to resolve the matter quickly and leave here as soon as possible.

"It'll be fine soon."

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Emiya quickly went over and gave all the candies to Mephisto.

"Thank you."

After Mephisto got the candies, he carefully put them away and thanked Emiya.

"No, remember to heat up the soup quickly and drink it."

After reminding the two again, Emiya looked at Alina.

Looking at the smile on the other person's face and what happened just now, Emiya felt a little toothache.

"Thank you Emiya for taking such good care of them both."

After giving some instructions to Faust and Mephistopheles, Alina asked them to leave first as she had something else to say to Emiya.

"No, we just happened to meet."

Emiya said that he had just been thinking about why he felt a familiar feeling from Alina.

But now that they were face to face, he still couldn't figure out why.

One more unsolved mystery of Emiya.

"Yeah?"

Alina said.

"Well, and... please allow me to refuse that matter this morning. I have someone here who needs my care."

After taking a quick glance and confirming the location of the Penguin Logistics people, Emiya said in a low voice.

If he said it loudly in front of a few people, Archangel and Croissant would probably tease him again. Besides, it was still a bit embarrassing to say such words.

"That's a shame, but it doesn't matter. I just thought you were very similar to a friend of mine, so I wanted to recruit you."

Alina had anticipated Emiya's rejection.

From what happened in the morning, she could tell that Emiya already had his own place, so she wouldn't force it.

"That's great. If everything is fine, I'll leave first."

After all, he had rejected others, and Emiya felt a little embarrassed. Besides, the people from Penguin Logistics were still waiting behind him, so Emiya naturally would not let them stand outside in such weather.

"Wait a moment."

Alina called out to Emiya.

"Um?"

Emiya, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped.

"Emiya, if you have any problems, you can rely more on your companions. After all, there is a limit to what one person can do."

Alina took a deep breath and said everything she wanted to say in one breath.

"Um... okay?"

Shirou didn't know why the other party suddenly said these words to him.

Maybe she thought of him as her friend?

"That's fine. Be careful on your way back. The climate has changed in the past few days, and the creatures in the mountains and forests seem to be a little agitated."

After saying what she wanted to say, Alina looked visibly relieved.

If only she could say those words to him, too.

Looking at Emiya and the people from Penguin Logistics leaving, Alina thought to herself.

72 Dream

After Emiya and Penguin Logistics returned to Mrs. Dalia's house, they huddled in front of the fireplace and discussed when to go back. Dalia went out to work with her neighbors and would probably not be back until very late.

"I think if we stay here any longer, Alina will definitely continue to plot against Emiya!"

This is what Croissant said.

"I agree. I think we should return as soon as possible. The sooner the better. Let's book it for tomorrow morning! I just checked. There is less snow in the northeast. If we go there first, we should be able to leave directly!"

Exiah folded her hands over her chest, sat cross-legged on the chair and nodded.

"Okay, let's check the weather conditions tomorrow morning."

As for Exia and Croissant, Texas thinks it's okay.

Putting aside the matter of Alina, they had other things to do in Longmen, so they had to go back quickly.

According to Angel, we should first drive from the northeast where there is less snow, and then go back to Longmen.

This plan is indeed feasible, but only if the weather conditions permit.

"Tomorrow?"

Sora was drinking a cup of hot coffee. It was not the simple espresso with hot water that he had in the morning, but a latte made by Emiya using freshly squeezed milk from other villagers, which he simply boiled and sterilized, then poured into the espresso and added a little sugar.

Although the taste is not as good as the ordinary milk I had at Longmen, it is much better than just coffee.

Thinking of that cup of coffee in the morning, Sora was reminded of the fear of being dominated by the bitter taste.

Take a sip of the latte in front of you to calm yourself down.

"What do you think, Emiya?"

Exia turned around and asked Emiya who was knitting a scarf.

"It's up to you guys to decide, but it's better to leave early. It's not nice to keep disturbing people at their homes."

Emiya didn't have a clear idea of ​​when he should leave, so he didn't participate in the topic, but Archangel Exiah had cued him, so he also expressed his opinion.

As for Alina, he had already rejected her, so their worries were useless, but Emiya just didn't tell them.

It's quite interesting to see how nervous they are.

"Then it's settled."

Seeing that no one had any intention of objecting, Angel decided to do this.

The main problem is that there is no apple pie, no dessert, and no internet here. If she stays any longer, she will be left out.

"I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious. It's useless to be anxious."

Emiya continued to knit the scarf with his hands while speaking to the Archangel with anxiety written all over his head.

Judging from the time, he could probably guess that Angel's dessert withdrawal symptoms had begun to set in.

When he restricted Angel Exia’s desserts, it was about a day later that the other party started to find ways to get desserts and apple pie.

Now that there is no internet access in this place, she has no way to divert her attention with other things.

"Ahhh! I want dessert!"

Hearing Emiya's words, the Exiah's defense was broken.

"You deserved it. You ate all the dessert yesterday."

After Texas finished speaking, he moved Pocky from his outer pocket to the inner pocket of his jacket.

Although Exia is unlikely to come to snatch Pocky, Texas feels it is necessary to defend against it.

It's no surprise that this guy, whose brain is made of apple pie and whose blood is sugar water, would do anything when pushed to his limit.

"How about latte? I think Emiya's is pretty sweet."

Sora asked as he looked at the empty cup of coffee latte in front of the Angel.

"That kind of sweetness is dispensable to Sister Neng. Adding too much will just mean taking in more sugar, which is meaningless."

Croissant took a piece of pickled meat and put it in her mouth to chew. She always ate it sparingly and only took some out when she was craving for it.

The meat soup at noon did satisfy her craving, so her consumption of dried meat was still optimistic, at least she could eat it for a while.

"Well, Angel of Power, go get it from my backpack. I bought an apple pie when I bought bread."

Seeing Angel Exia crying and screaming, Emiya also had a headache and could only take out the bread and apple pie stored in his backpack.

Unlike the crust of ordinary apple pie, bread apple pie uses toast to wrap the apple pie filling.

It can be kept for a few days at room temperature, so Emiya bought it, mainly to prevent this from happening.

If he didn't use it, he would study it himself. This method seemed to be simpler and more convenient to carry. I just don't know if Archangel can accept this kind of apple pie.

"Thank you, Mama Emiya!"

Upon hearing that Emiya brought apple pie, Exia jumped up from her chair and rushed towards the room, not realizing what she had just said.

"?????"

After hearing what the Angel said, Emiya stopped what he was doing and many question marks appeared on his head.

"Pfft hahahaha."

Seeing the Archangel's socially dead behavior again, Croissant almost spat out the jerky he was chewing.

Although Kong and Texas did not laugh out loud, one could tell from the expressions on their faces and their shaking bodies that they were trying to hold back their laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

Walking out of the room with an apple pie that she had already taken two bites of in her hand, Exiah looked at Croissant, Sora, and Texas who were all smiling, while Emiya looked at her with complicated eyes.

"It's nothing, Sister Neng, you have to be strong from now on."

Croissant finally calmed down after laughing for a while, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said to the Archangel.

But she didn't say it explicitly, because if she did, it would be bad if she had to be punished along with Archangel.

"What?"

Not understanding the croissant's riddle, the Archangel had to take another bite of the apple pie in his hand. Although it was a little worse than ordinary apple pie, it was still acceptable.

"Take your time to eat."

Looking at the Archangel who became quiet after eating the apple pie, Emiya asked her to finish eating the apple pie well.

After all, you might not be able to eat it when you go back.

"Yeah, by the way, Emiya, you put a lot of things in your bag."

When Exia was rummaging through Emiya's backpack just now, she saw a lot of things.

Apple pie, a first aid kit, Pocky, a small packet of espresso and some compressed cookies, and even a thin blanket.

“We have to consider some situations.”

Although Emiya had some experience in traveling, this was his first time traveling far away in this land. Considering some things, he prepared some emergency supplies. In the extra space, he brought some things that several people could use, such as apple pie, Pocky, espresso and so on.

It turned out that his idea was right, and both the apple pie and espresso came in handy.

"Well, this coffee is pretty good.

Texas took a sip of coffee and said, I don't know where Emiya found this espresso. It contains concentrated coffee. You can add cold water, hot water or directly add milk and drink it directly.

The taste is not too bad, it is a very good choice outside.

"Even if you praise me, there will be no reward. Bake the sweet potatoes for dinner tonight. Don't waste the ingredients."

Although Emiya said this, he was still happy to be praised, but there was nothing he could do here, so he could only go back and make up for it.

"Woo..."

When Croissant heard that there was only roasted sweet potatoes for dinner, his heart ached.

But there was no other way. Without the ingredients, it was impossible for Emiya to cook a delicious meal out of thin air.

Wait, it appeared out of thin air?

"Emiya, can you project food..."

Croissant was hit on the head with a ball of yarn by Emiya when he was halfway through his words.

"Didn't Emiya tell me it's not okay? Croissant, you can't keep thinking about this."

Sora watched Croissant being knocked down by Emiya with a ball of yarn, and complained about how the other party always had bad intentions towards Emiya's abilities.
