Chapter 264 Not Wanting Others to Worry

"So! You chose to work at this coffee shop the first thing you did, you don't know—humph!"

Shana didn't finish her sentence. Instead, she let out a muffled sigh of displeasure and turned her head away.

"How could I possibly stop searching for it just because of one sentence he said!"

Marjorie's expression became extremely agitated. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she closed her eyes tightly, extended a finger, and muttered something.

A wave emanated from that finger, and within seconds, Margery's tightly closed eyes snapped open.

"Let's go! Marcossias"

Marjorie punched a book that was flying around haphazardly, grabbed it to prop herself up on the chair, and with an incredibly fierce posture, she jumped over the chair and walked towards the door.

"Hahaha! Let's go on a killing spree! Let's go on a killing spree!"

The book seemed completely unconcerned about the sudden, heavy blow it had received, and instead shook itself excitedly.

"Miss!"

Meanwhile, Tanaka Eita and Sato Keisaku, who were sitting opposite Margery, hurriedly got up from their seats and ran towards Margery while calling out to her.

"What are you going to do?"

Shana, of course, couldn't just sit there and watch Margery leave.

"Get out of the way. I don't want to waste any more words unless you're planning to start fighting right here."

Azure flames emanated from her hands. If Shana had continued to stand in front of her, Margery might have actually intended to start a fight in this small coffee shop.

"Wait, Shana, don't stop her."

Before Shana could unleash her power of existence, a steady voice came from in front of her.

Upon hearing Alastor's words, Shana abruptly stopped and had no choice but to make way for him.

"Squeak—!"

Marjorie pushed the glass door open very roughly, and the two high school students followed her away.

"The corpse picker is probably doing this on purpose."

The crystal-clear gem emitted a red glow, Alastor explained to Shana.

"deliberately?"

"I see."

Shana stood there for a moment and thought about it, then quickly came to an answer.

"What are you talking about? Why did she suddenly become so agitated?"

Shirou Emiya stood behind Shana, completely bewildered. He didn't recognize the woman; this was the first time he had ever seen her, so he had no idea what was going on.

"Her name is Marjorie, and like me, she's a Flame Haze. Do you understand now?"

"Is she the Margery who Rami asked me to deliver the message to?"

Emiya Shirou was thoughtful.

"So what is she going to do now?"

"Isn't it obvious? She went to cause trouble for the Corpse Collector."

Emiya Shirou pushed open the door and walked with Shana onto the bustling street. Looking around, Margery and the two high school students were nowhere to be seen.

"Don't worry, since the Corpse Collector asked you to tell her this information, he naturally has a way to deal with her."

Alastor offered an explanation before Emiya Shirou could speak.

It's worth noting that at the very beginning, even Margery's extensive search couldn't locate the "Corpse Collector," and she even lured Shana there.

But now, in just a few seconds, Margot found Rami. It could be said that Rami deliberately exposed his location to wait for Margot to come over.

Then they wouldn't need to worry about anything happening to Rami. Even if Shana ignored it, Rami would probably have all sorts of ways to escape Margery's clutches.

Shana's duty to maintain stability in the world led her to decide to stop Margery from going to attack Rami.

Immediately, Alastair's words took a sudden turn.

"Can you tell me what happened before you suffered such serious injuries?"

"Was that during that time?"

Emiya Shirou looked at Shana beside him.

"Humph!"

Whether out of self-reproach or embarrassment, Shana tilted her head to the side.

"We feel very guilty for not arriving in time."

Alastair, on the other hand, expressed his apology in his steady voice.

"No need for that. No one could have imagined that such a situation would occur. It was a scheme by those Crimson World Demon Kings, and naturally they wouldn't let you discover it."

Emiya Shirou smiled and shook his head. He was quite glad that Shana hadn't noticed and teleported with him.

Shirou Emiya had a certain understanding of Shana's strength; she was strong enough to deal with Fariagni, but she would probably be defeated quickly by the remaining two Crimson Lords.

Especially the Crimson World Demon King who used a mixture of various swords and blades to charge forward like a meat grinder.

If it weren't for Shirou Emiya's keen sense of hostility and extreme sensitivity to attacks, he would probably have perished at their very first meeting.

Moreover, he was able to barely fight him by taking advantage of his unfamiliarity with the various weapons that were constantly appearing on his body.

If he had fought seriously from the start, Shirou Emiya probably wouldn't have had any chance to retaliate.

The gem in front of Shana paused for a while before slowly emitting a red light.

"【Bad Blade】, 【Hunter】, 【Thousand Changes】. What kind of scheme is this, and how did you manage to subdue 【Hunter】 under such circumstances?"

Three Crimson World Demon Lords, two of whom are beings of incredibly long history whose strength is difficult to assess or estimate.

Shana's expression was filled with disbelief. She had sparred with Shirou Emiya before, and although she lost, she didn't feel that Shirou Emiya was much stronger than her.

But this human, who seemed not much stronger than himself, faced three Crimson World Demon Lords at once.

Although Shirou Emiya did not elaborate on the details, he glossed over many aspects.

Shirou Emiya barely spoke about the injuries he had sustained, as if he hadn't been hurt at all during the battle with the three Crimson Lords.

Emiya Shirou didn't want others to worry about him, especially since the matter was already over and he was standing unharmed in front of Shana, so there was even less need to tell her such negative things.

But he didn't know that Shana had truly seen how horrific and heartbreaking Shirou Emiya's wounds were.

At that time, Shirou Emiya's consciousness was already blurred, and the Zero Hour Child on his body had been removed and frozen inside the seal. He had no idea what happened after he released his Noble Phantasm.

In Shirou Emiya's memory, he was teleported away the moment he felt his consciousness fading. Looking at the completely unfamiliar ceiling in front of him, Shirou Emiya fell into a coma.

Chapter 265 Delicious Salmon Butter Grill

As dusk fell, Shirou Emiya followed Shana back to the room he had rented.

“Crack, crack, crack—!”

The old door was difficult to open, and no one had lived inside for many years.

If Shirou Emiya hadn't spent a lot of time tidying up, this room wouldn't look so simple.

Emiya Shirou held the key in his hand and tried several times before finally managing to open the door, albeit with difficulty and stumbling.

As for how Shana got to this room without a key...

Because old, lockable windows are the obvious choice.

After all, it was a house that wasn't expensive, and it was fully equipped, so Shirou Emiya didn't have many requirements.

He didn't know how long he could stay in this world; having a place to stay was already a blessing.

Shana followed closely behind Emiya Shirou.

She didn't tell Shirou Emiya that she had seen him injured. Since Shirou Emiya didn't want her to worry, she wouldn't expose his good intentions.

Shana, however, would ponder in her heart what he had gone through to forge such perseverance.

With such injuries, Shana felt an endless darkness enveloping her just from the moment she was replaced.

She couldn't possibly withstand such injuries; no matter how hard she tried to grit her teeth and persevere, such willpower was almost beyond her comprehension.

"Shana?"

A pair of hands landed on Shana's shoulders.

Bring her back to her senses.

Shirou Emiya crouched down, placed his hand on Shana's shoulder, and gently shook her.

"Are you thinking about something?"

"fine!"

Shana quickly shook her head.

"Then come in first, it's easy to catch a cold standing outside like this."

"No, Flame Haze don't catch colds."

Shana quickly refuted Shirou Emiya's words, but still obediently walked in.

Emiya Shirou nodded without saying anything more.

Instead, he closed the door and prepared to make dinner.
