Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Kosong said.

"Can it still be like this?"

After hearing what the two said, Emiya was a little confused. Are they so casual?

"Stop talking. I'm tired."

Being stabbed in the back by his own teammates, Archangel couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and went to seek comfort from dessert.

Seeing that the Angel looked like she had no love left, several people felt a little happy.

Just as everyone was having fun, a new customer came to the hot pot restaurant.

The laughter at the Penguin Logistics table was naturally quite eye-catching. Some people liked to eat quietly, while others liked this lively atmosphere.

"It's quite lively, huh? Then this is it."

The woman with silver hair with some red highlights seemed to belong to the latter, and after seeing the lively atmosphere, she made up her mind.

That being said, the main reason was that she couldn't find any other store at this time.

As the hot pot she ordered was served, she became the focus of the whole audience.

The reason is simple: the strong smell of chili is too pungent.

The air in the store, which was originally filled with fragrance, instantly turned into a pure smell of chili pepper.

"*My Rutland* Is this really edible?"

The seat chosen by the other party was quite close to the Penguin Logistics table, so several people could directly see what was in the other party's pot.

The soup base was red, with nothing but chili peppers. It was so red that Emiya felt like he could see Kiritsugu after taking a bite.

"I know this. Many restaurants in Longmen have legends about her. It is said that she would ask for the spiciest dishes or soup base every time she went to a restaurant."

Croissant thought of some gossip he had heard while setting up a stall, and shared it with everyone at Penguin Logistics, and then continued:

“And no matter how hard the store tries, they can’t satisfy the other party! Some stores continue to develop related spicy products after being hit, and even set off a trend of eating spicy food in Longmen!”

The bottle of chili in her hand is said to be one of the new products developed by the store after being destroyed by the other party, and its spiciness is already quite abnormal.

“I can’t even imagine…”

In response, Emiya said that he couldn't imagine what this strange trend was about, but when he thought that Croissant was one of them, he seemed to understand what these people were thinking.

Just a bunch of fun people.

He was just thankful that he had almost finished eating, otherwise no matter what he ate now, he would only taste spicy.

For example, the Angel next to her was eating the ice cream in her hand with a look of despair on her face. Now, everything she ate only tasted spicy.

The only person who could accept it was probably Croissant.

Seeing that Croissant was still eating with gusto, Emiya was just very impressed.

79 year

With the arrival of this legendary spicy food lover, some people who could not tolerate spicy food left one after another.

The main thing is that the taste is really strong.

The people from Penguin Logistics were waiting for the croissant to be finished. Emiya and the others had no plans to continue eating. After all, Angelica had just demonstrated what it meant to smell spicy and taste sweet.

The silver-haired woman nearby also noticed some people leaving, but she seemed to have gotten used to it and didn't care too much.

But when she saw Emiya at the next table, her eyes lit up, as if she saw something that interested her very much.

"Hey, young man."

The silver-haired woman took a paper fan and waved in Emiya's direction.

But Emiya didn't hear it, he was concentrating on discussing tomorrow's report with Texas and Sora.

Exia and Croissant were busy with their own things, so they didn't notice.

"Young man~!"

The silver-haired woman didn't get angry, but stood up, walked towards Emiya and patted his shoulder.

"Hmm? What can I do for you?"

Emiya was a little confused by this sudden approach. He didn't think there was anything about him that was worthy of being approached.

However, although Emiya himself is not aware of this, the other people in Penguin Logistics do not think so.

First it was Shi Huaiya from the Imperial Guards, then it was Alina from the Integration Movement, and now here comes a beautiful young lady with silver hair.

Does Emiya have some ability to attract women?

It's only been a month! This is the third time!

"Young man, I see that you have an amazing skeleton! What's your name? You can call me Nian."

Nian took the paper fan in her hand and tapped gently on Emiya's body. She was very interested in Emiya.

"Uh...Emiya?"

Faced with the other party's familiarity, Emiya could only give his name and start preparing to run away.

It was indeed a pleasant thing to be approached by a beautiful girl, but in Emiya's opinion, the other party treated him more like a rare treasure than a man.

It's probably the same expression as when Angel sees apple pie, Croissant sees meat, Texas sees Pocky, and Sora sees a pretty and cute little skirt.

"Hey, don't run away. Let me take a look at you again."

As if he had noticed that Emiya was trying to escape, Nian pushed him down on the chair and stared at Emiya's face.

"Miss Nian, please let our teammates go."

Seeing that Nian was getting more and more demanding, Texas looked a little unhappy.

"Sorry, sorry, it's mainly...Emiya, right? There's something familiar about Emiya."

After hearing Texas' warning, Nian realized that he seemed to have gone too far and hurriedly released his hand that was pressing on Emiya.

"We shouldn't know each other, right?"

After Nian let go, Emiya stepped back a little, a little worried that Nian would suddenly pick him up and run away.

When he was pinned down just now, he was completely unable to break free. Although it looked like he didn't struggle, the fact was that Nian's strength was a little too great.

Based on the power that Nian had just displayed, Shirou fully believed that she had the ability to carry him and run away. Although he had many ways to break free, it would be better to prevent this from happening from the beginning.

"Even though it's our first meeting, I'm not talking about this kind of familiarity, but you've always given off a familiar feeling to me... like a knife or a sword?"

Nian rubbed his chin with his hand and thought, then he remembered what that familiar feeling on Emiya was.

It's the feeling of a sword! She is a blacksmith and used to forge weapons. When she saw Emiya again, she felt particularly close to him.

Even though she forged less often now, seeing someone like Emiya exuding the aura of a sword still made her blood boil.

It’s not that Emiya has that kind of aura like those people who have been immersed in swords for a long time, but rather that Emiya himself is the sword itself.

"..."

After hearing what Nian said, Emiya was silent for a moment.

His magic element and origin are both swords, and he is uniquely talented in this area.

Plus the inherent barrier, infinite sword system...

All I can say is that the Nian in front of me really saw through Emiya at a glance.

"Hmm... it just looks a little blunt. Weapons forged by a confused person are prone to flaws."

Looking at Emiya's appearance, Nian couldn't help but say a few more words. She could feel that Emiya seemed confused.

"Ahem, Miss Nian, I'm very sorry, but we should go now."

The Archangel standing by stood directly between Nian and Emiya and interrupted the conversation. After all, Nian suddenly came up to him and said a bunch of meaningless words.

The point is that Emiya still looks frightened.

In order to prevent a simple person like Emiya from being deceived, Exia decided to stand up!

"Oh, yes, yes, we should go."

Kesong wiped the chili oil off his mouth and stood up as well.

Sora and Texas were ready to secretly take Emiya away and headed towards the gate.

“…How interesting.”

Looking at the faces of the people in front of him, the first thing that came to his mind was not the old-fashioned plot of jealousy, but rather... the children found out that their elderly parents were being deceived, so they jumped out in a hurry?

This is a good topic! I'll write about it later if I have the chance. When elderly parents are fighting against a giant monster, their children jump out and so on. It's super interesting, okay?

If Emiya knew what was going on in the other person's mind, he would probably wonder how someone could make such a heartwarming plot become so weird.

This is also considered a genius.

"Um... sorry, we have something to do so we have to leave first."

Nian's words touched Emiya's heart, so compared to others who thought Nian was talking nonsense, Emiya actually had a little respect for Nian.

"Hey, it's okay, I'm having a great time here too."

Nian waved his hand and returned to his seat. The meat and vegetables he had just put in had already been cooked soft. Nian didn't care at all and put all the dishes into his bowl.

But after thinking about it, it seemed wrong to manipulate others so wantonly and then say nothing, so he spoke again:

"Try to find something you want to do and sharpen the sword in your heart. This should be a good thing for you."

Nian is very much looking forward to Emiya's future development, after all, this is the first time he has seen someone like this.

"…I see."

In response to Nian's riddle, Emiya nodded to show that he understood.

This was probably the only riddle he could understand recently, while the people from Penguin Logistics standing by were confused as well.

"What did Emiya understand?"

Croissant asked quietly to Texas beside him.

"do not know."

Texas didn't even think about it, she just wanted to go back to the dormitory and sleep as soon as possible.

80 Two Doors

"Want to do something?"

Shirou was lying on his bed, thinking over and over again about what Nian had just said.

"This body is made of sword, I am the bone of my sword..."

Chanting a few lines softly, Emiya thought about his past ideals.

Help the weak and fight against the strong, a partner of justice.

At first, it was just out of admiration, because the expression on Kiritsugu's face when he found himself in the fire was so happy.

And the real reason he wanted to become a partner of justice was that night when he promised Kiritsugu that he would help him fulfill his dream.

"Ore disease, the infected, this land...Penguin Logistics."

Emiya thought a lot, thinking about what he had learned from books and the Internet, and also about what Alina had talked to him about the infected a few days ago.

But when he finally thought of Penguin Logistics, he hesitated again.

He has no plans to leave Penguin Logistics, at least for now.

After a period of inner struggle, Shirou fell asleep unknowingly.

When he opened his eyes again, Emiya saw two doors, one purple and one black.

“…Is it so fast this time?”

Looking at the two doors in front of him that seemed ready to be opened, Emiya felt that this time it seemed a little too fast.

The first time it was almost a month, but this time it seems like only a few days?

However, Emiya had no intention of looking at these memories now. He was already a little confused, and looking at these memories again would probably make his brain get stuck in a knot.
