Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"That was... mainly because it smelled so good, I couldn't help but come in."

Ah Xing tried to explain, but Xingxiong gave him a death stare.

"Since you've eaten someone's food, you have to help them."

After staring at Ah Xing for a long time, Xingxiong couldn't do anything about it. He just reminded Ah Xing not to really treat him as a freeloader.

This is also good. She asked Ah Xing to come so that he could look after this place when Emiya is not around. It would be more convenient to do things if he gets to know her better.

It’s definitely not because I envy Axing for being able to eat meals cooked by Emiya every day.

Although the store was now filled with the aroma of thick soup, her stomach, which had just eaten, began to feel hungry again.

"I packed some extra so I can share it with others when I get back. Please also say hello to Sir Shi Huaiya for me."

Not long after entering, Shirou came out with a large bag of thick soup, probably enough for five people.

The bag used was a sealed bag for takeout, which belonged to Emiya himself.

Strictly speaking, it is the store's stock, a reusable sealed bag for hot food. It is a little more convenient than a bento, and can be used to hold soup without spilling.

"Oh, thanks."

Taking the bag from Emiya's hand, Hoshiguma could see some of the ingredients in the soup through the transparent bag.

Onions, ham, corn, meat of scaly animals and some seafood offal.

"Be careful not to get burned." Seeing Hoshiguma taking it directly from the bottom, Emiya was worried that the other party would get burned.

"Don't worry. I'll go back to the Guards Bureau first and come back when I have time."

For Xingxiong, this little bit of popularity is just a small matter.

Holding the bag of soup steadily, Xingxiong held some newly bought tableware in his other hand and spoke to the few people.

"Welcome to come again next time."

An Suo waved her hand and said that people like Xingxiong who bought large quantities at one time have been included in her list of high-quality customers.

Simply put, you have to arch your back!

"..."

Xingxiong stood at the door in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Hoshiguma standing in a daze at the door, Emiya asked.

"Please help me open it. I am not feeling well right now."

Xingxiong pointed to the door. She now held a fragile item in one hand and a boiling soup in the other.

She was worried that if she didn't hold it firmly, it would drop or break. For her now, the two things in her hands were what she had to protect!

"…OK."

Looking at Hoshiguma's appearance, Emiya's mouth twitched slightly, and he went forward to help open the door, and also helped open the door of the Imperial Guard's car.

"Thanks. I will share the soup with Missy and Lao Chen."

After getting in the car, Hoshiguma rolled down the window and thanked Emiya.

"No, be careful on the road." Emiya said.

What responded to Emiya was Hoshiguma's wave and the sound of the engine of the Guards' car.

104 Dragon Fights Tiger Fight Ghosts Are Tired

Longmen, Guard Bureau Office.

Chen in the office stared at the documents in her hands. She was the only one busy in the office.

Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was opened.

"Are you still busy?"

Xingxiong asked, looking at Chen who was sitting at the desk.

"Hey, Xingxiong, why are you here so late? And you brought snacks?"

Looking at Xingxiong who pushed open the door and came in, Chen took a glance while working and found that the other party was holding a bag of... thick soup?

So you go out on patrol and bring back some food, right?

But Xingxiong seems to have done most of his work, so let it go.

"Yeah, but I didn't buy it. Someone I know gave it to me."

Xingxiong carried the soup and put it on her desk. She had already found a place to put the tea set. That thing couldn't be seen, as it would be evidence of her patrolling and slacking off.

"You are so popular."

Chen didn't care at all. Xingxiong had done all the work he was supposed to do, and the Guard Bureau didn't have any major cases to deal with at the moment.

No...there is a case, and I just received some information from an informant in the slums.

"It's not that I'm popular, it's that you have a bad temper. Do you want to drink?"

Hearing Chen's words, Xingxiong sighed.

Chen has a very stubborn temper. Once she finds someone's sore spot, she will scold them until they doubt their life.

"Work."

Chen, who had been staring at the information for a long time, heard Xingxiong's words and stared at the other party with dead fish eyes.

"Is this the same person who made the lunch boxes a few days ago?"

Xingxiong tried to seduce Chen with words. It was very common in the Guard Bureau to occasionally have afternoon tea to replenish energy, but when Chen was around, most people didn't dare to take it out and eat it directly because of his majesty.

But now...if I can join in, then there will be no problem.

If you invite your boss to slack off with you, won't you be afraid of getting caught?

"Um...okay."

After hesitating for a while, Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with eating some snacks to fill his stomach at this time. Only when he was full and satisfied would he have the strength to work.

But this is also because it was Xingxiong who invited him. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be scolded by her.

It’s definitely not because I thought the bento last time was delicious that I want to eat it this time.

"You're really nice today. Please call Missy for me so I can pack them up."

Xingxiong was a little surprised to see Chen agreed so quickly.

She had already prepared two or three sets of records, but she didn't expect Chen to be so easy to talk to today.

It would be good if she could save some time and effort. She was really looking forward to hearing what the soup tasted like. It smelled quite fragrant when she smelled it in the store just now.

"Barbecued Pork Cat?"

Chen was confused for a moment, but still took out his phone and called Shi Huaiya.

Xingxiong would occasionally be sent some food like today, and he would often distribute it around, she knew this.

But why did he suddenly call the barbecued pork cat?

"She also knows that person, just ask her to come and get it later."

Hearing Chen's puzzled voice, Xingxiong explained briefly.

When they were leaving the store, Emiya asked her to say hello to Shi Huaiya. Plus, since they packed so much, he must have asked her to bring some to Shi Huaiya as well.

However, Chen and Shi Huaiya often have conflicts. If Chen is unwilling, Shi Huaiya can only let Shi Huaiya take back his office.

It's a pity for the people in her office because the soup is very strong.

"It doesn't matter. I just happen to have something to talk to her about."

As he finished speaking, the phone in Chen's hand was connected.

"Pujielong? Why are you calling me?"

Shi Huaiya's puzzled voice sounded. Usually, calling via mobile phone meant that there was something urgent to be done.

"When you're done with your work, come to my office."

Chen originally wanted to ask Shi Huaiya to come to her office directly, but after thinking about it, it didn’t seem like a good idea.

What if Shi Huai Ya is working hard?

So she added another sentence.

"Huh? Office? Did you take the phone number of the Guard Bureau? Why are you calling the cell phone for no reason?"

After hearing what Chen said, Shi Huaiya started to criticize him.

She thought it was something big. If she was in the office, wouldn't she use the phone in the Guard Bureau? You know, she almost called for help.

"…I have something to do. Please come here as soon as possible."

Of course Chen remembered that there was a phone in the Guard Bureau, but it felt wrong to use the Guard Bureau's phone to invite people to have afternoon tea, although they still had to discuss some serious business.

But she still felt that this was not a good idea, so she used her mobile phone.

"Oh...really, I'll be there soon, do you want me to bring anything?"

After hearing what Chen said, Shi Huaiya didn't want to continue scolding him.

"Some hard copy from the ghetto... and a spoon?"

Chen thought about it and asked Shi Huaiya to bring the information about the slums.

By the way, I took a look at the situation over there with Xingxiong. There were three large bowls. I don’t know if Shi Huaiya has mysophobia in this regard, but it would be safer to let her bring a spoon.

"Paper materials from the ghetto and...spoon?"

Although she didn't quite understand why she brought the spoon, Shi Huaiya still took the paper materials with her and took the spoon from the drawer.

If there wasn't a good reason, she would use this spoon to beat the dragon's head.

"Tsk, it still makes me unhappy when I think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Chen looked unhappy.

There would definitely be conflicts between her and Char Siu Cat when they were present, after all, the two had very different ways of handling things.

But speaking of the person alone, this BBQ Cat is actually quite good, apart from being covetous of her position and causing her to arrest people for using lipstick and cosmetics.

"Put it on the coffee table?"

While the dragons and tigers were fighting, Xingxiong had already divided the soup.

The portion given by Emiya was quite large, with some left over after three large bowls.

Considering that Chen asked Shi Huaiya to bring the information, the only place in the entire office that could accommodate three people was the coffee table.

"Just put it there, thanks."

Chen rubbed her eyes first. Staring at the computer and documents for a whole day made her eyes a little sore.

She needs to take a break before Shi Huaiya comes over and looks at some more information.

"It's a small matter. I'll feel better if you don't start a fight with Missy later."

"I will try my best."

"Alas... aren't you tired of doing this? Even I, who's trying to stop the fight, feel tired."

While the two were chatting, the office door was pushed open and Shi Huaiya walked in holding a stack of documents.

"Soup? Pujielong, did you take the wrong medicine today? You came to me to do something and even brought snacks?"

Shi Huaiya, who smelled the aroma of the soup as soon as she came in, began to wonder if Chen had taken the wrong medicine today.

"Xingxiong brought it. She just happened to be looking for you. I also have something to talk to you about. Remember to lock the door."

After confirming that Shi Huaiya had come in and locked the door, Chen stood up with a stack of documents in his hand.

"I knew it was no good."

Seeing the large stack of information in Chen's hand, Shi Huaiya began to worry whether she could get off work on time today.

But she still put the information on the coffee table. After all, it was work, not shabby.
