Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

It was almost done, now I just need to tidy up some small details.

The rest were things that I had to wait for a few people to wake up and load into the car, but now I had to do it myself.

"I'll carry the things to the car first. Remember to turn off the alarm."

After talking to a few people, Emiya began to carry out the organized things.

"Are people busy here so early?"

Emiya, who was carrying a lot of things, saw that the people in the village were busy, but they seemed a little hurried.

After putting his things neatly into the trunk, Emiya wondered whether he should go say goodbye to Alina and the others.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. After all, we were not very familiar with each other and we had simply said goodbye yesterday. Mrs. Dalia had already said goodbye this morning.

"The weather... should be pretty good?"

After packing up his things, Emiya looked at the vast snowfield and the big blue sky and took a quick look at the weather conditions.

"Have you packed up? Aren't you too fast, Emiya?"

Croissant came out with his shield and hammer. Emiya paid a little attention and found that there was nothing left on the other party's eyes, which was a cause for celebration.

"Are you all right? How are the others?"

After helping Croissant put her hammer and shield on the cart, Emiya asked about the other people's conditions.

"Thanks to the hot water you provided, Emiya, I had a good rest. I'm now checking inside to see if there's anything I forgot to take. The weather is pretty good now, so I think we can set off back to Longmen."

Croissant said as she checked the back seat for supplies. She was much more serious than usual in work mode, which made it difficult for Emiya to compare the current Croissant with the Croissant he knew.

Gurgle gurgle….

"Well... I want to have a good meal when I get back. Although the broth was delicious last night, it was still not enough!"

Croissant made a hungry sound and said to Emiya.

“…Okay, let’s talk about it when we get back.”

Seeing that Croissant was only handsome for three seconds, Emiya wanted to complain, but when he thought about his appearance in the morning, he gave up.

Shirou didn't ask much about what happened in the morning. He wouldn't ask if they didn't ask, but he would still help if they needed help.

"Croissant, are you okay?"

Sora jumped over the steps in front of the door and stepped directly on the snow.

She was still wearing two coats and the holy shroud that Emiya had lent her.

Texas and Exiah also came out, and Exiah even yawned.

"Ha... There's nothing missing in it, but it looks like Mrs. Dalia isn't home, so I can't thank her."

The Archangel yawned loudly and stretched his body a little.

Just now, she, Kong, and Texas checked the room and the fireplace to see if there was anything left behind, and also cleaned up the basin.

"I told Madam Dalia this morning, don't worry."

Emiya said.

"That's good. Thanks to her, we don't have to sleep in a tent. It would be very uncomfortable to sleep in a tent in this kind of weather."

Hearing that Emiya had already said hello, Exiah felt relieved. After being relieved, she wanted to sleep again. She always felt that she did not sleep well last night and felt particularly uncomfortable.

"Now that you've said hello, get in the car."

Texas first checked the condition of the car, then started it and made sure there were no problems. Then he asked a few people to get in the car and left the village.

"Heat! ON!"

After getting into the car, Angel turned on the heater directly, but this behavior was slapped by Texas.

"Sister Neng, you can't do this. You can't turn on the heater right after getting in the car. It will damage the car."

Croissant said as he looked at the warned look on Exiah's face.

"Croissant, do you know anything about this?"

Sora, who was sitting between Croissant and Emiya, looked at his friend in surprise. He never expected that he would know about such things.

"Hehe, just a little knowledge."

Croissant folded his hands over his chest, looking like he was about to praise me.

It's a pity that the people in the car were not supportive, but Emiya gave a little support to avoid embarrassing Croissant.

"Great, great, here, this is a reward."

After sending away the croissant with a bag of jerky, Emiya began to pay attention to the road conditions ahead.

Keeping in mind what the Angel of Exiah said two days ago, Emiya looked around.

The route planned by the Penguin Logistics team was to go a short distance to the southeast and then turn back to the southwest.

According to the observation of the Archangel yesterday, the snow in the southeast seemed to be lighter, so the car could drive through.

Although this requires a short detour, if we hurry we should be able to get back to Longmen in the evening.

74 Ice Explosion Originium Bug

The car was driving on the snow. Because of the snow, Texas did not drive very fast. Therefore, even after driving for a while, the car did not leave the village far. It would probably take some time to return to the normal route before it could accelerate normally and leave.

Inside the car, Exia and Emiya were still responsible for paying attention to the situation ahead. After two days of journey, Emiya had made some progress.

"Hey, that's right, Emiya you're a quick learner!"

Through Emiya's eyes, which were more useful than a telescope, the workload of Angel Exia was reduced a lot. Once Emiya was completely accustomed to it, she could just throw the work to Emiya and start working right away.

You may have to make a few long-distance trips. After all, the geographical environment of each region is somewhat different, and many things can only be learned by actually visiting and experiencing them.

But she was thankful to be able to relax a bit, as it would have been dizzy to use binoculars to look around in a shaking car.

"Tsk... the snow is all white, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

Emiya looked at the vast expanse of white snow and felt his eyes were a little dizzy. He could only make the car avoid some places that looked unsafe to a certain extent.

It’s not that you can’t see it, it’s just that everything is white at a glance.

"It's normal to be dizzy, but it's really more troublesome in the snow. Not only is the slippery ground so you can't drive too fast, your vision is also poor, and it's also very cold."

Exiah shared her experience with Emiya.

"You just hate the one at the end, right?"

Emiya complained about Exia's last words about being cold, then turned his gaze to the left.

It was still an endless expanse of snow, but Emiya noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Sora asked, seeing Emiya staring at the left side.

Hearing Sora's voice, the people in the car turned their attention to Emiya.

"There appear to be a large number of creatures moving in the distance on the left."

Emiya said, thinking of what Alina said yesterday before they parted.

"The creatures in the forest seem to be a little restless."

This is no longer a level of agitation, right? A large group of blue and white spider-like creatures are moving in the opposite direction of them.

“…This is not good. It’s actually a large swarm of ice explosion source stone insects.”

After hearing what Emiya said, Exia also picked up the telescope and looked to the left. Only by looking very carefully could she see the moving swarm of Ice Explosion Originium Insects.

"*Longmen swears*, is this true or false?"

Croissant couldn't sit still anymore. The Ice Explosion Originium Swarm was a very troublesome creature. If you killed it, it would explode all over your face. Basically, no one would want to provoke it if you met it in the wild, unless you had enough long-range attack methods.

For someone like her who holds a large shield, the Ice Explosion Originium Worm is a super troublesome thing.

"Is it coming towards us?"

Texas asked, the car was not driving very fast on the snow, it would be bad if they were being chased.

"No, I went in the opposite direction, but over there..."

Before the Exiah, who was watching the movements of the Originium Bugs through a telescope, could finish her words, Emiya continued:

"That's where the village is. They are heading towards it."

"That's really not good."

From their conversation, Kong could tell that the situation was dire.

It wasn’t that it was bad for them, it was the village.

Even if I turned back to tell the people in the village, the car would not be able to catch up on the snow.

So now there are only two choices.

"Do you want to fight here? Or just leave?"

Texas asked.

For them now, they can just leave secretly in this situation. After all, if they choose to fight, only Archimedes and Emiya can safely eliminate them from a long distance.

Emiya personally certainly wants to help the village. Not to mention that he has received help from them before, he himself cannot bear to stand by and watch them die.

But this is just his own wish.

Penguin Logistics here...

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm going to hit it!"

Archangel held the gun in his hand and began to load it with etched ammunition.

"Although I may not be able to bear it, I can still fight it off."

Croissant leaned halfway into the back seat to get his hammer and shield.

"I will support you all."

Sora said while holding the staff.

"What about you, Emiya? Do you want to accept the challenge?"

Watching his teammates express their opinions one by one, Texas asked Emiya, who had not yet spoken.

"Ah! Of course."

The last bit of worry that Shirou had was gone.

"Then let's act. Emiya, you just take care of the enemies in the distance, and we'll deal with the ones that come closer."

Texas quickly arranged everyone's battle position.

She was familiar with the abilities of everyone in their group, and Emiya, a powerful weapon that could attack from a long distance, could just stand there and serve as a turret, while they were responsible for clearing out the enemies that wanted to get close.

"Emiya, please don't use the mushroom cloud! It will destroy us all and we will be buried by the avalanche!"

Thinking of the big explosion that Emiya had shown off before, Exia was a little worried that Emiya would perform the same thing here.

If you explode it once, everyone will be wiped out, but if you create an avalanche, everyone will be killed together.

“I’m in the middle of nowhere.”

In response to the Angel's remarks, Emiya could only roll his eyes, then he opened the car door and slid onto the roof.

As for sniping, you have to stand on a high platform to have a good view.

"Trace on─"

The black bow and arrow are in place.

Just as Angelica said, in this snowy environment, any loud noise may cause greater disaster.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to think about the fantasy collapse, let alone other treasures that make even greater noise.

All we can do now is to clear these ice explosion source stone insects one by one.

Standing on the roof, Emiya's vision became wider.

In his field of vision, he could also see the village, which seemed to be resisting the creatures from the mountains and forests.
