Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

If a weapon contains a certain energy, Shirou Emiya cannot project that energy as well.

If a sword automatically stores the magic power for a single beam of light, the weapon projected by Shirou Emiya should be in a state where the weapon is not fully charged with magic power, rather than the projected weapon showing a state where the magic power inside is already fully charged.

Emiya Shirou knew the purpose of the ornament in his hand, but he did not know what it represented.

For example, the power of existence is restored at 0 points. Shirou Emiya knows this, but he doesn't know what the power of existence is; he can only understand it as a form of energy, like magic.

"Aren't you going home now? You've been lying in the infirmary for so long, your family must be very worried."

Emiya Shirou questioned Sakai Yuuji, who had no fighting ability, and Emiya Shirou could not allow him to stay and assist him.

He now knows the information he needs to know, and if possible, he doesn't want to get involved in this disaster.

After all, based on the information Shirou Emiya had, humans were basically powerless to resist and could only obediently become the prey of those puppets.

In that forbidden world, the existence of the torch further prevented humanity from knowing that there were beings in the world that devoured humans.

If Shirou Emiya couldn't even protect himself, what chance did an ordinary high school student have?

"I can only hope that this piece of jewelry will allow me to move around in that world I've never seen before."

Emiya Shirou held the accessory in his hand, which emitted a faint blue light, and murmured softly.

After all, the only difference between Yuji Sakai and those torches is that he possesses such a treasure within his body.

It's impossible that all those torches could move within that static world but simply didn't want to.

However, this possibility cannot be ruled out, but Shirou Emiya doesn't have a better solution right now.

The night passed quietly.

Emiya Shirou woke up in the infirmary wearing his red cloak.

Although he was anxious about what happened yesterday and wanted to confront those who slaughtered humans as soon as possible, but—

"Gurgle—!"

Emiya Shirou, who had not eaten all day, felt a hunger pang in his stomach.

Although going without food for just one day wouldn't have a significant impact on Shirou Emiya, if he didn't find a way to earn money through work, he might really have to resort to scavenging for food in the trash.

Previously, he had been provided with food, clothing, shelter, and transportation by others, but now he suddenly had to rely on himself to provide for himself. Shirou Emiya was momentarily taken aback.

It's not that Shirou Emiya can't find a job; after all, he's quite good at working part-time, and isn't he on his way to finding one right now?

As for what Shirou Emiya was actually doing, he didn't quite understand. The ball of light told him that he seemed to be an anchor or something, allowing it to interfere.

Since it was all words that Emiya Shirou couldn't understand, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, if he didn't agree, he would die, so there was no reason to refuse.

However, Shirou Emiya immediately focused on those with low profiles and put his job search on hold.

Now that Shirou Emiya has a certain understanding of this world, he also needs to prepare to solve his own life problems.

He's not like those Servants; he doesn't need to eat or sleep, and he only needs magic to exist.

Although he was a soul in the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail reconstructed a physical body for him. Now, Shirou Emiya's body is complete and naturally a human body.

The Holy Grail did not strengthen Shirou Emiya's body in any way; it remained exactly as it was before, at most repairing his arm.

His soul did not lose his upper arm, so the body he created naturally carried his right hand.

In this situation, Shirou Emiya can only passively wait for the enemy's attack; there's no point in rushing things.

So Shirou Emiya prepared himself and once again went to the streets of Misaki City, looking for a job where he could get involved.

Is that human still alive?

At the top of the tallest building in Misaki City, the man looked at the human figure on the glass jar who had survived the attack by phosphorus and a smile of great interest appeared on his lips.

This time, he was genuinely interested in a human being who could survive even though he couldn't move around inside the sealed-off area.

After all, they had personally witnessed those dolls approaching Shirou Emiya, and Shirou Emiya was indeed unable to resist the sealing technique and was imprisoned in place.

If a human who could move freely within the sealed space using the Freedom Technique survived the attack of the phosphorus, he wouldn't be too surprised.

Furthermore, those puppets weren't very strong; they could be easily dealt with using pistols, not to mention that the humans who possessed the Free Style also had other methods.

But this human, who was unable to move freely within the sealed-off area, actually survived.

Allowing him to lack imagination, he couldn't fathom how Shirou Emiya could survive under such circumstances.

Even inside a car, it's impossible to withstand the attack of these phosphorus particles.

unless------

"That human wielder's Noble Phantasm?"

The doll in his arms spoke, revealing the answer he had arrived at.

Although most Noble Phantasms are possessed by Crimson Lords, Flame Haze, and Mystice, this does not mean that there are no humans who possess Noble Phantasms.

Humans serve as a strong support for the Flame Haze, and a small number of them still possess some power capable of going toe-to-toe with Phosphorus.

However, a treasure that even the seal cannot break through is probably not very strong.

However, he still wanted to see what kind of Noble Phantasm it was, since he himself possessed a great many Noble Phantasms.

Even if it has no use, it's nice to be able to collect it, isn't it?

Chapter 226 Emiya Shirou, the One Being Targeted

There's no need for many words to explain how Shirou Emiya found a satisfying job.

After all, Shirou Emiya had developed the habit of working part-time very early on, so finding a job that students could temporarily participate in was a piece of cake for him.

Moreover, Shirou Emiya's efficiency is unmatched by ordinary people; he can do the work of three people and has extensive knowledge of maintenance.

The author couldn't even list all of Emiya's everyday skills in just a few paragraphs.

Emiya Shirou finished his work in just one morning.

Because of his lack of legal status, many shops were still hesitant to hire Shirou Emiya, but there were quite a few kind-hearted shop owners in Misaki City, which finally convinced Shirou Emiya to take the job.

While Shirou Emiya was at work, a voice rang in his ears.

"Oh!"

That was the sound produced by the flames burning.

The instant that voice rang out, Shirou Emiya dropped the plate he was holding, and a sword with an iron chain instantly appeared in his hand.

The armor quickly covered Shirou Emiya's entire body.

Only then did Shirou Emiya truly understand what had happened before.

In that instant, a surge of flames suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a tangible wall that enveloped the entire street.

Within the area shrouded by the shroud, a geometric square pattern suddenly appeared on the ground, like a magic circle, expanding directly to the location of the Sunfire Wall.

Immediately, the color of the space changed.

It turned into a glaring bright red.

In this crimson space, everything suddenly came to a standstill.

Female students are gossiping.

The plate that Emiya Shirou threw away.

A cat chasing mice in the alley.

Even the birds flying across the sky suddenly froze, as if they were frozen in space, solidified in this crimson space.

In the blink of an eye, only one person remained capable of moving around in this space.

That's Emiya Shirou.

He looked at the pale blue jewelry hanging on his chest, then quickly pushed open the shop door and stepped onto the now-still street.

"Is this the world I couldn't see before?"

Emiya Shirou wasn't particularly surprised by the bright red world; he only raised a few questions.

After all, he had already experienced time being frozen before he came to this world.

So when Yuji Sakai described it, Shirou Emiya had a vague idea of ​​what kind of situation the crimson world he was talking about was.

He could only be thankful that the object he projected did indeed allow him to move freely in this static world.

They will not become lambs to the slaughter.

However, he wasn't worried about being targeted by the other party. After all, when he was looking for a job that morning, Shirou Emiya had already felt a faint gaze watching him.

However, he couldn't sense who was watching him from which direction, monitoring him. He only knew that there was a gaze constantly observing him.

Therefore, Shirou Emiya remained vigilant at all times.

As for why he didn't choose to go to a secluded place to draw out the people watching him.

Emiya Shirou wasn't sure if it would choose to follow him.

According to Yuji Sakai, the main purpose of those dolls was not to destroy themselves, but to devour some kind of power within human bodies.

This could easily lead to a situation where Shirou Emiya is far from the city, but the dolls are still devouring humans in the city.

This was something Shirou Emiya didn't want to see, so he could only work while remaining vigilant.

"Oh!"

Then, a sound like flames burning rang out again.

However, this time it wasn't the sound of the seal being activated, but rather the sound of clusters of flames suddenly appearing around Shirou Emiya.

Suddenly, the clusters of flames solidified into physical forms, transforming into individual puppets.

Each doll was dressed in a variety of costumes, some quite old, others completely new and life-size.

"Squeak! — Squeak! — Squeak!"

With the sound of their joints clattering together, all the dolls turned their heads to look at Shirou Emiya.

This time, their target was very clear: Shirou Emiya, who could move freely inside the sealed area.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
