Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Page 322

Rather, it's because he has always had the habit of waking up early.

Even when she stays up all night at home practicing her enhanced magic and projection magic, Sakura will wake her up in the morning.

Even without Sakura waking him up, Emiya Shirou still gets up early to exercise.

The nighttime practice involves learning various magic tricks that I've mastered, as well as exploring new ideas for my own magic.

After using [Extreme Execution King] to pierce the enemy's body with the spear.

Emiya Shirou has been pondering whether he can make his sword burst forth from the enemy's body like the "Extreme Executioner".

However, the length of the sword is naturally incomparable to that of the iron stake, and it is not very realistic to shoot it out from underground.

It's impossible for him to project directly into the interior of a physical entity.

However, since the sword he unleashed, Infinite Blade Works, was stuck in the ground, it was difficult to achieve the effect of [Extreme Execution King].

At this moment, Shirou Emiya recalled the time when he condensed Unlimited Blade Works to his side to block Esdeath from unleashing her Noble Phantasm.

Perhaps it's possible to condense one's Unlimited Blade Works into an object, strike the enemy's body, and then unleash Unlimited Blade Works.

However, there are still two problems with Shirou Emiya's idea so far.

The first problem is that he cannot compress Unlimited Blade Works to that extent. The second problem is that Shirou Emiya has not found any vessel that can hold the Unlimited Blade Works that he has compressed.

In the morning, that's when Shirou Emiya trains his swordsmanship and archery.

Shirou Emiya has essentially mastered Chiron's teachings. If he wants to make a breakthrough in archery, he can only seek a new opportunity.

As for swordsmanship, there are far too many things that Emiya Shirou doesn't understand.

[Arthur], [Siegfried], [Mordred], [Akame], [Esdeath], [Touka Toudou], [Ikki Kurogane], [Edwig], and so on.

Even now, a year later, Shirou Emiya still hasn't reached their level in swordsmanship.

In a battle, Shirou Emiya might be able to compete with him using his projection magic, and in many cases, he might even gain a significant advantage.

If it were simply a matter of swordsmanship, Shirou Emiya might only be able to compete with Akame and Esdeath at this point.

Emiya Shirou was not a swordsmanship genius. Even though he could read sword techniques, he could not surpass the swordsmanship level of those who had spent decades or even a lifetime in just one year.

Moreover, some of them are several times more talented in swordsmanship than Shirou Emiya.

Of course, when it comes to archery, Shirou Emiya is able to master various forms of archery in a very short time.

Emiya Shirou will not be disappointed or discouraged because he does not have outstanding swordsmanship talent.

Because Shirou Emiya's swordsmanship has now reached a level that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Emiya!!!"

A familiar voice came from behind Shirou Emiya.

Eina, waving her hand and dressed in a white dress, jogged towards Shirou Emiya's location.

"Don't rush, it's not time to meet yet."

Emiya Shirou quickly helped Eina, who was running over breathlessly, and asked her with a worried expression.

"I didn't expect you to arrive so early, Emiya. I arrived here half an hour early!"

Eina looked at Shirou Emiya somewhat embarrassed; she hadn't expected that a man would arrive at the meeting point so early.

Then a smile appeared on his lips again.

"Could it be that you, Emiya, are looking forward to us going to the bookstore together?"

Although their purpose was to go to the bookstore to research the history before the gods descended a thousand years ago, it was easy for a man and a woman to think of it as a date when they met alone like this.

Chapter 439 Bullying is the thing Emiya hates most

But Shirou Emiya was no match for her; he completely failed to grasp the teasing tone in Eina's words.

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Emiya Shirou nodded very honestly.

"Eh!"

Then it was Eina's turn to blush.

But what Shirou Emiya longed for was to see the history from a thousand years ago.

As for why Shirou Emiya wanted to understand the connection between the mythology of this world and his own world, but didn't look into the history of the thousand years after the gods descended.

These gods have been active in this world for thousands of years. There's no need to delve into so much history; Shirou Emiya only needs to ask Hephaestus.

The gods who still walk in the mortal realm are living history books, even though they are unaware of many detailed events.

But she still remembers the major events.

Moreover, it seems that all the gods recorded in their own worlds have appeared in this world.

It's not just the gods from the three major Western mythologies.

"Well! Well! It's rare for me to come out, so I'm really looking forward to it—"

Eina calmed her breathing, lowered her head, and tucked the strands of hair that were falling in front of her behind her ears.

"Does Eina not have any breaks while working at the guild?"

Upon hearing Eina's words, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but ask.

"Not really. The guild's leave time is quite flexible. After all, the guild isn't run by just me. Losing one or two people won't have a big impact. Basically, as long as you submit a leave application, it will be approved."

Basically, just like adventurers, guilds don't restrict their employees' rest time much; they generally allow employees to rest whenever they want.

Of course, if you take a day off, you won't get paid for that day.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to come out more often to relax?"

"On one hand, I really enjoy this job. I feel sad when I see adventurers lose important companions, I feel happy when I see them get excited about improving their abilities, and I worry when I see new adventurers recklessly rushing into dungeons—"

When Eina mentioned the new adventurers, she glared fiercely at Shirou Emiya.

"It seems you really enjoy this job—"

Shirou Emiya also remarked that he could clearly see Eina's passion for this job.

"of course!"

Eina also proudly puffed out her chest.

"Although there's another reason—"

She muttered to herself, seemingly not wanting Shirou Emiya to hear.

However, given Shirou Emiya's hearing, he could hear it very clearly, but he simply didn't ask aloud.

If Eina wanted to tell herself, she would say that there was no point in asking so many questions.

Unless it's something very important, a matter of life and death.

In this respect, Shirou Emiya and Sakura are quite similar. Unless it is a matter of principle, they will wait for the other person to speak rather than asking questions themselves.

This is why Shirou Emiya didn't know that Ryu was an adventurer. He wasn't interested in other people's secrets; after all, who doesn't have their own secrets?

In front of Hephaestus, Shirou Emiya showed no curiosity about the face hidden beneath the mask.

It wasn't that Shirou Emiya didn't reveal his curiosity to Hephaestus, but rather that he genuinely had no curiosity whatsoever.

Emiya Shirou can distinguish between what things are acceptable to be curious about and what things are not.

"boom--!"

However, just as Shirou Emiya and Eina were heading towards the bookstore, a loud bang came from the alley.

"!"

Emiya Shirou frowned deeply as he headed toward the source of the sound.

Eina followed behind Shirou Emiya.

She understood what was ultimately happening inside, something that was almost an immutable rule in this world.

"Kid! Hand over the money if you don't want to suffer!"

A huge crater appeared next to the boy who lay on the ground, his clothes extremely tattered.

He looked at the several incredibly burly men in front of him with extreme horror.

Their eyes held disdain for the boy.

"Eina, hide!"

Shirou Emiya whispered to the person beside him. After seeing Eina hide behind cover, Shirou Emiya walked towards the group of people without any hesitation.

"Ha! Isn't this the recently infamous adventurer without any special favors?"

Seeing Shirou Emiya approach, there wasn't a trace of panic on their faces.

He even had an arrogant smile on his lips.

His eyes were filled with contempt, as if he didn't take Shirou Emiya seriously at all.

He simply slipped his hand behind his back—

A silvery light appeared in his hands.

"I won't be defeated by someone like you who has no talent whatsoever, like those good-for-nothings!"

A violent power, carrying a roar, manifested from the space at this moment.

With an incredibly arrogant smile, he swung his extremely sharp battle axe, aiming to slash at Shirou Emiya's shoulder.

"laugh…"

A faint whooshing sound rang out.

"Qiang!"
