Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Keisaku Sato"

The handsome man next to him gave a brief introduction of himself.

They just happened to be passing by and saw Marjorie sitting inside, so they came in together.

They met Margaret here because they skipped class.

Oh, it seems that yesterday afternoon they also ran into a group of delinquents because they skipped class, and only became her underlings after Margery rescued them.

Shana nodded as if she understood, but interpersonal communication was not her forte.

The atmosphere quickly cooled down.

But not long after Shana and the others finished eating cake and drinking coffee, Shirou Emiya came out after changing his clothes.

The boss naturally realized that these people had come to see Emiya Shirou.

That's why Shirou Emiya was allowed to leave work early.

Emiya Shirou is indeed very efficient at work, and besides, a coffee shop is not like a restaurant, so it is always crowded.

"Ask me any questions you may have."

He naturally understood why Shana looked at him that way; he had originally thought he wouldn't survive.

Perhaps it's a bad habit, but Shirou Emiya rarely has the opportunity to win battles with minimal cost.

Although Shirou Emiya never puts his own life at risk in battle, it doesn't mean he's unafraid of death.

He was just like any other person, afraid of death, terrified of death, but Shirou Emiya had something more important to him than death.

"How did you survive?"

Without any pleasantries, Shana went straight to the point and asked the question.

She wasn't good at small talk either, and she would ask any questions she had directly.

Shana didn't want Shirou Emiya to die. When she saw him standing unharmed in front of her, Shana's first reaction was joy, not confusion.

But she also wanted to know how Shirou Emiya survived and recovered so quickly under those circumstances.

Could it be that Shirou Emiya is actually a Crimson Denizen disguised as a human?

Shana and Margery have different guesses about Shirou Emiya's resurgence.

If one were to ask why, it would be that differing perspectives lead to different judgments.

Margery definitely believed in her own power. Now that she had discovered that Shirou Emiya was human, she would not speculate that he was a Crimson Denizen.

Chapter 263 Working is the most important thing

"It should be Rami, the Crimson World Apostle, who saved me."

Emiya Shirou said somewhat uncertainly, because he was also unsure whether this name was the true name of that Crimson Denizen.

"Rami?"

"The Corpse Scavenger!"

The first sound was Shana's questioning voice, and the second sound was Margery's gritted teeth.

Shana looked at Shirou Emiya with a puzzled expression.

She was a little confused as to how Shirou Emiya had suddenly become involved with the Corpse Collector.

Let's rewind to around noon today ————————

"you're awake."

An aged voice rang in Shirou Emiya's ears.

Emiya Shirou slowly opened his heavy eyelids, enduring the indescribable pain throughout his body, and looked around.

This is a very simple wooden cabin, with various pieces of furniture neatly arranged inside, and it looks quite old.

Beside the bed, an old man with a full head of white hair looked at Shirou Emiya, who had just woken up, and spoke softly.

Emiya Shirou recognized him at a glance; he was the old man who had teleported him to another city before.

"My name is Rami, but Flame Haze fighters usually call me the 'Corpse Scavenger'."

Rami said slowly, seemingly not worried at all that Shirou Emiya might suddenly attack and hurt him.

"What's your purpose?"

Emiya Shirou slowly sat up and asked in a calm tone.

He didn't know what the old man wanted to do, but Rami had indeed saved him.

If Rami wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't have reminded him at that crucial moment that the true form of the Broken Blade was underground.

She would never allow herself to recover so comfortably in bed.

Of course, at that time Shirou Emiya did not understand who the name "Broken Blade" represented, but at that critical moment, it didn't matter to Shirou Emiya who the Broken Blade was. All he needed to know was to release the Noble Phantasm into the ground.

"There's no ulterior motive; we just don't want to see someone like you die so easily at their hands."

Rami gave a slight, kind smile.

In order to successfully transfer Shirou Emiya, Rami naturally followed Shana and Shirou Emiya all the way, and clearly saw the scene of Shirou Emiya fighting with Shana for the torch.

What all the Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes see as mere tools, Shirou Emiya sees as a living, breathing person.

This made Rami sigh, knowing that Shirou Emiya was not unaware of the torch's function or its significance.

Even under these circumstances, and despite the fact that he himself would lose his memories of those torches, Shirou Emiya still chose to protect them.

This didn't make Rami feel great, but it did spark his interest in a human named Emiya Shirou.

Of course, when Fariagni approached him, paying a large portion of his existence power to have him deal with a human, Rami had already become interested.

For Rami and the Flame Haze, humans are only slightly more important than torches, not by much. What impact would losing one human have on the world?

They have witnessed far too many human deaths, and even if they don't want to, they have become numb to it.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Phosphorus and the Crimson World Apostles, the Flame Haze's first instinct was to attack them and prevent them from devouring more humans and causing further chaos.

However, their first choice was not to resist the Crimson World Apostles' attacks on and devour of humanity, or to protect those who were being attacked.

In their eyes, letting the Crimson Apostles escape might cause more damage later, so wouldn't it be better to just defeat them directly and reduce the damage?

"Thanks--"

Shirou Emiya did not doubt Rami's words; he would not question the words of the savior who had saved his life.

Even if Rami really had some ulterior motive, Shirou Emiya would remember him as his savior.

Unless he does something he cannot accept, something that goes against his own beliefs.

Rami was clearly taken aback when he heard Shirou Emiya thank him.

He hadn't expected Shirou Emiya to thank him so directly and decisively.

You should know that it was he himself who put him in mortal danger.

This behavior is like breaking Shirou Emiya's leg and then giving him a crutch, saying that without me, he can't walk.

Emiya Shirou did not condemn him for this, which made Rami feel somewhat guilty, even though that was not the case.

He did it to fulfill a request, but also because of his own kindness and his unwillingness to see a human being die. He simply did what was right in his heart.

"Excuse me, how long was I unconscious?"

Then, Shirou Emiya asked Rami a question.

"It was probably a day and a half. Actually, I originally thought you wouldn't survive."

Rami thought for a moment and then answered Emiya Shirou.

Although Rami does indeed possess healing abilities, he cannot bring the dead back to life. In fact, when he saw Shirou Emiya standing before him, with his bare bones and empty chest, he was quite surprised that Shirou was still alive.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Rami used the Freedom Technique to barely keep Shirou Emiya's breath going, so that he wouldn't dissipate too quickly.

And it was at this moment that a miracle occurred. Shirou Emiya's skin began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and golden light kept emerging from his body. After only a short while, Shirou Emiya was basically out of danger.

Rami, of course, did not hold back on healing the remaining injuries, using his power of existence to completely heal Shirou Emiya.

"One and a half days!"

Emiya Shirou's face turned deathly pale as he suddenly remembered something very important that he hadn't done.

"Where am I now?"

Immediately, Shirou Emiya got off the bed, his face filled with urgency, and asked Rami.

"Misaki City."

Rami, however, answered Emiya Shirou calmly.

Rami thought that Shirou Emiya was probably worried that Shana would be very sad, and wanted to tell her as soon as possible that he was still alive.

"Oh no, oh no, I didn't go to work yesterday. I skipped work on my second day of work. I hope my boss won't fire me."

Shirou Emiya hurriedly straightened his clothes. Although his clothes were tattered after the battle, he was able to project clothes onto his body.

Although it consumes magic power, it's still better than having no clothes to wear.

"?"

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, Rami silently wondered to herself, "What?"

But Shirou Emiya didn't stop; he turned and ran towards the door.

Rami quickly called out to Shirou Emiya.

"If you meet Margery, please tell her for me not to chase after Silver. He is impossible to catch or find. She can only wait, and when the time comes, he will naturally appear before her."

"I remember."

Emiya Shirou nodded and immediately left the room in a hurry, running towards the street outside.

He was muttering to himself.

Who is Margaret?
