Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

At first, Emiya had no intention of asking the other party to repay, but the other party's attitude was a bit tough, and he was in tatters and wanted to leave quickly, so he finally left his contact information.

Shirou took a look and found that the messages were all sent in the past few days. It happened that he was not in Longmen during these days, so he did not receive them.

At the beginning he said he would arrange a time after getting his salary, but later on he never responded, so I left a message saying please reply to me when you see the message.

Emiya responded simply by saying that he had been busy these past few days and therefore had not noticed.

Then, soon, Emiya received a response.

"That's great. I was worried that I was being ignored."

Through the text, Emiya could imagine the other party's relieved look. After all, Yukiji's somewhat confused look after the fire was really impressive.

After a brief chat and learning that Emiya and others were about to go out shopping, Xuezhin decided to deal with the matter today, as she happened to be on vacation today.

She has been troubled by this matter for several days, and if it is not resolved, it will affect her work.

"can."

Seeing that the other party seemed to care a lot, Emiya had no choice but to agree. He was going to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner later.

Looking at Exia, Texas, and Sora who were still busy, and Croissant who was sitting on the sofa watching TV like an old man, Emiya cleaned up the remaining breakfast and prepared to throw away the garbage, and asked them:

"I'm going to go out and buy ingredients for dinner. Is there anything in particular you want to eat?"

"It's the same one, thank you Emiya!"

As soon as Exia opened her mouth, even without saying what it was, Emiya could understand.

"I also can."

"Me too."

"Me too."

The other three were more casual and would eat anything Emiya cooked.

"Then it all depends on what's available in the supermarket."

After receiving the response, Emiya was not angry at the others for not giving specific suggestions. After all, he was not ordering takeout, but making it himself.

If everyone is willing to eat what he cooks unconditionally, it means that his cooking is loved by everyone.

After a simple packing, three days later, Emiya set out for the supermarket again.

It had been a long time since he had gone shopping, and he had just solved most of a problem that had been bothering him for the entire night, so Emiya felt particularly relaxed.

"It really feels so light and free."

Emiya stretched a little and sighed.

His idea was simple, which was to learn about oripathy and gain a deeper understanding of what it was.

This is just the first step.

"Hello, Mr. Emiya."

When Emiya walked near the supermarket, he saw Snow Pheasant with black and white hair standing at the door of the supermarket and greeting him.

Snow Pheasant was even wearing clothes that looked like laboratory clothes, after all, there was a name tag on it.

"Just call me Emiya."

When Yukiji called him "Sir" or "you", Emiya felt that something was wrong, and something was wrong all over his body.

"Okay, Emiya first... Emiya, do you often come here to buy groceries?"

Xuezhi almost shouted out again when he was speaking, so he quickly corrected himself.

She also often comes here to buy vegetables, and often buys some vegetables when they are on sale.

But about a month ago, people started coming in and buying out all the discounted vegetables, causing her to often not be able to buy cheap vegetables, so she started looking for some cheap restaurants to eat at.

The restaurant where the fire broke out was one of them. It was close and cheap, so it was still edible.

"Yeah, there are four people in the family, and they all have big appetites."

Emiya found it quite interesting to see that Yukiji was very polite and somewhat natural.

At least he was one of the few ordinary people he met after arriving at Longmen?

He always felt that most of the people in Longmen seemed a little abnormal. They all seemed very happy and lively.

But he doesn't hate it. After all, seeing someone with a smile on their face is a happy thing.

"It's not easy for you, Emiya."

Xuezhi had a preconceived notion that Emiya's family had four people to support and that the family burden seemed heavy.

"Hmm... it's OK."

Emiya deliberately didn't mention the coat and went straight into the supermarket with Yukichi.

Wait until you buy the vegetables first, and then you can leave. The meat and vegetables cannot be left for too long.

Emiya has already started thinking of a plan to escape!

"How lucky! There are vegetables these days!"

Snow Pheasant looked at the special sale area and his eyes lit up.

Buy some and it will last you two days!

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Xuejiji's excitement, Emiya was a little confused.

"I couldn't get the special offer dishes this month, but I can get them these past few days! I'm so lucky!"

Xuezhi took the amount for one or two days. If she bought too much and left it for too long, it would go bad and be wasted, and she couldn't accept this happening.

"……sorry."

Judging from the timing and his own shopping habits, Emiya figured out that it was him who grabbed Yukiji's special dish.

Because there was dinner for five people and breakfast for the next day, Emiya bought a lot of food.

Thinking of this, Emiya felt a little sorry for the Snow Pheasant in front of him.

"Hmm? Why are you apologizing, Emiya?"

Yukiji, who was happily holding a handful of vegetables, was confused by Emiya's apology.

"fine."

Looking at the other person's innocent eyes, Emiya felt guilty.

I'll buy some more apple pies for Archangel later.

When it was Emiya's turn to pick the dishes, he took less of the discounted dishes and made up for the shortfall by taking some dishes with relatively decent prices. After all, he had the budget given by his boss, so he just had to not be too extravagant.

Rather than his capitalist boss, Emiya chose to protect the poor little Yukichi.

Moreover, more dishes can be prepared this way, and it is definitely not a waste of the boss’s money.

After paying the bill, Emiya and Yukichi stood at the door of the supermarket.

"Then let's go buy coats!"

Yukichichi said to Emiya while holding a small bag.

"That's not good. I bought some food here that needs to be refrigerated. It can't be kept for too long."

Emiya took out the prepared words and rejected the other party. After he finished speaking, he saw Xueji looking at the dishes in Emiya's hand and in his own hand with a dull look on his face.

Only then did she remember what she had come here for. She was so excited that she went into the supermarket with Emiya and completely forgot what her original purpose was.

"Well... um... I'm sorry I forgot about this. How about... let's make another appointment?"

Xuejiji looked flustered and spoke in a panic, and Emiya was a little worried that he might bite his tongue.

"Well... that's not necessary. I see that you, Xuezhi, are a scientific researcher, right? Why don't you introduce me to some books related to mineralogy? Then let's just leave the coat issue alone."

Seeing that Xuejizhi seemed to really take this matter seriously, Shirou decided to try another approach and ask Xuejizhi to recommend some books to him.

It just so happens that the other party seems to be a highly educated person, so Emiya plans to ask him for advice.

"Hmm... Ore disease? Although it is worth studying, it is not my research direction..."

After hearing what Emiya said, Xuezhi felt a little embarrassed. After all, her major was mechanical engineering, and she didn't quite understand oripathy.

"It's okay, I was just mentioning it."

Seeing the other party's embarrassment, Emiya understood that the other party might not have studied the subject of oripathy, but it didn't matter, he was just mentioning it.

"Emiya, do you want to start with a simple study of the mineralogy? Or do you want to study it in depth? If you study it in depth, I may not be able to provide good advice."

Xuezhi thought for a moment and said that if Emiya just wanted to get started simply, she might be able to provide some help. After all, some things on her side would involve Originium skills, so she had more or less read some related books.

But compared to serious researchers of mineralogy, her little understanding is basically useless.

"Just an introduction. I want to learn more about mineral sickness."

After hearing what Yukiji said, Emiya felt relieved. This solved his problem of finding the book, and also solved the problem of the coat.

"If you want to get started... Mr. Xue's book should be quite suitable."

When Xuezhi heard that Emiya needed to get started, she breathed a sigh of relief. She could still help with that, so she recommended several books in a row, mainly Mr. Blood's.

Of course, there are also books by other authors, but Mr. Xue seems to be more authoritative in this regard.

"Mr. Blood... I see. Then the matter of the coat is over."

Emiya wrote down the name that Yukiji mentioned and would look it up when he had the chance.

"Eh? Isn't this bad? I didn't do anything."

Xuezhi was stunned for a moment. She just mentioned a few book titles.

"That's enough. I'm just getting started. Without your introduction, I would probably have to spend several days studying."

Emiya said seriously.

After all, he didn't know anyone else who was familiar with this area. If Xuezhi hadn't introduced it, he would probably have just gone to the bookstore and found a book that he thought was acceptable and read it.

It's not that this isn't a good idea, it's just that with the other party's advice, Emiya can get to the point faster and take fewer detours, which is better than just picking a book at random.

"Hmm...how about I give you some of Mr. Blood's books that I read before?"

Xuezhi thought about it and felt that this was not the right thing to say, so she decided to give Emiya some books she had read before about Mr. Blood.

I haven't read those books for a long time, so I might as well give them to people in need.

Xuezhi would spend a lot of money on research, but she lived frugally just to have more money to use for research and to send back home.

"It would be great if it was convenient."

Emiya did not refuse Xuezhi's kindness. After all, the book could be returned after reading it, as long as he used it carefully.

"Then I'll arrange a time to bring it to you later."

After seeing that Emiya agreed, Xuezhi felt relieved.

She had been thinking about the compensation issue these days and had been prepared to have to eat steamed bread for a while, but fortunately, Emiya was very kind.

After saying goodbye to Xuejizhi, Emiya did not hang around outside, but quickly returned to the dormitory with his bag.

He didn't lie to Xuezhi and really bought a lot of things to put in the refrigerator.

Of course he didn't forget the apple pie from Angelica and bought some more.

After all, they are all angels, so if I use them to apologize, it should be... okay, right?

Anyway, Angel was so obsessed with writing a report today that he almost went crazy. Let's use these apple pies to comfort him.

With these thoughts in mind, Emiya returned to the dormitory.

When he opened the door, he saw the completely burned Archangel lying on the desk, the halo on his head becoming dim, while Texas and Kong were proofreading Archangel's report.

"Emiya, you're back."

Seeing Emiya carrying a pile of bags, Kong first stepped forward to help Emiya take a portion and took it to the kitchen to freeze it.

As expected, Sora is more knowledgeable and helpful in this regard.

“Apple pie! I smell apple pie!”

Smelling the scent of apple pie, Angel was resurrected on the spot, and the halo on her head lit up.
