Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The adventurers at the forefront roared and howled, gripping their weapons tightly, encouraging themselves and those around them.

With an extremely fierce aura, it charged towards Shirou Emiya.

However, even when they outnumbered him, they couldn't do anything to Shirou Emiya, so how could they possibly win with only a hundred men left?

Then, Shirou Emiya, wielding a reverse blade and wearing a red trench coat, charged forward like a bullet under the moonlight, his red figure a striking sight.

"choke!"

The sword light lit up.

At that moment, Shirou Emiya's figure completely transformed into a ghost, carrying with it a howling energy and chaotic airflow.

With astonishing speed, he swept through the crowd, his reverse blade flashing like a continuous sword dance, sending adventurers flying one after another.

"Well--!"

"what--!"

"Well--!"

Brief, rapid screams echoed through the night.

In a situation that should have been a foregone conclusion, with the kin all-out attack, Shirou Emiya accomplished something that seemed impossible all by himself.

Shirou Emiya, with his cold eyes, moved through the crowd, constantly wielding his reverse blade, until the last person fell to the ground.

The entire courtyard of the Soma Familia fell into a deathly silence.

Even Soma, who was inside the house, stopped what he was doing, pushed open the door and came out. His usually calm face revealed a look of surprise.

Under the moonlight, Apollo's once confident smile gradually faded as the adventurers fell to the ground, leaving only a distorted expression.

He stood there, dumbfounded, unable to believe that such a thing had happened.

After taking down the last adventurer, Shirou Emiya slowly walked towards Apollo, carrying his reverse blade.

Chapter 451 Divine Wine

"I don't need to know these answers!"

Shirou Emiya shook his head as he watched Soma hand over the divine wine.

Whatever the reason, what good will it do for Shirou Emiya to know? Will knowing the reason change the current state of the Soma Familia?

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's reply, Soma's eyes showed extreme disappointment, and he slowly withdrew his hand from the wine cup.

"Snapped--!"

Emiya Shirou firmly grasped Soma's hand as he retrieved the wine cup.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Shirou Emiya looked at Soma without flinching.

"After I drink this cup of wine, will you be able to manage your clan well?"

"Can!"

Soma's attitude was revealed in his understated words.

Upon hearing Soma's reply, Emiya Shirou reached out his other hand and picked up the wine cup.

"Don't drink it!"

The girl next to Shirou Emiya saw him raise his wine glass and tried to stop him with great agitation.

As a member of the Soma Familia, she knew perfectly well what would happen after drinking this divine wine.

She had also drunk the divine wine made by Soma.

That feeling filled her with both intense longing and profound fear.

If it weren't for the constant bullying from other adventurers in the Soma Familia, forcing them to go out and earn Valis to supply them, I would probably have had my will corrupted by this divine wine, just like those kneeling at the entrance of the Soma Familia.

Even now, just seeing it evokes a deep longing within her.

She gripped her arm tightly, using the pain to keep herself conscious, and desperately clung to Shirou Emiya's clothes, trying to stop him from drinking the divine sake.

"Why? This is not your kin, and the deal you proposed means absolutely nothing to you! Even if you don't drink this divine wine, it won't have any effect on you!"

The girl couldn't understand why Shirou Emiya would do such a thing, why he would do something like this for a familiar he didn't even know, a familiar that had even attacked him before.

Why is it that some people always think of others first, instead of themselves?

Even when confronting those clans, it was all to save those bullied LV1 adventurers.

Even when the person he saved turned against him, he still stuck to his choice.

The girl didn't understand.

The long-standing bullying by adventurers had instilled in the girl a deep loathing for them.

But she couldn't bring herself to harbor any ill will towards the adventurer in front of her who did everything for others.

She wanted to help him, to do her best to lend a helping hand when he was in trouble.

Because she understood that this path was by no means simple, and the thorns along it were probably beyond her wildest imagination.

She understood even more clearly just how terrifying the divine wine truly was.

During her time with the Soma Familia, she had never seen anyone who could resist the temptation of the divine wine.

including yourself.

Emiya Shirou simply turned to look at the girl whose eyes were filled with confusion, and slowly answered.

"How could it be meaningless? It's meaningful to the entire Soma Familia! It's meaningful to the true adventurers within the Soma Familia! And it's even more meaningful to those who were bullied by the Soma Familia!"

But don't you ever think about yourself?

The girl was thinking this to herself.

From beginning to end, Shirou Emiya did not do anything for himself.

"Aren't you afraid that this drink is poisoned, or that it contains some kind of drug that can corrupt your soul and turn you into a puppet?"

If Shirou Emiya had drunk the beverage offered to him without any suspicion, and if it had been laced with drugs, he wouldn't have been able to react in time.

The girl found it incredible that she could trust others so much, even when facing a god.

It's well known that Apollo would stop at nothing to bring his favorites into his kin, and drugging was one of his usual techniques.

Because the gods who bestow gifts upon humanity are more trustworthy than humans themselves.

Many people also find it hard to believe that a being hailed as the sun god would do such a thing.

"I believe him, that's all!"

Completely trusting a stranger, an unfamiliar god—perhaps only Shirou Emiya would do that.

Just as Shirou Emiya grasped the wine glass, the cloaked girl hidden in the shadows prepared to rush out.

However, he was captured by a man with orange hair and orange eyes, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a hat with feathers.

The girl who had been hiding in the shadows and following Shirou Emiya also had her pupils shrink suddenly when she saw the man with the refreshing smile.

"Sh-!"

"Keep watching, I want to know just how far this young man can go!"

"What if he can't withstand it?"

"That was his choice, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing the man's words, the cloaked girl calmed down and watched the events unfold with extreme tension.

Without the slightest hesitation, after answering the girl, Shirou Emiya brought the divine sake to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.

"————————"

At that moment, everyone held their breath, watching Shirou Emiya intently.

At the very moment Shirou Emiya drank the divine sake, three emotions spread around him.

The unease of the chestnut-haired girl.

Sunnis's disdain.

And Soma's expectations.

The next second ——————

"It tastes great!"

There was no struggle, no addiction, no resistance, not even a smile.

Emiya Shirou gave a completely calm reply to everyone present.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Shirou Emiya's answer.

He acted as if he had just drunk a very ordinary glass of wine, without even a significant change in his facial expression.

"Does the divine wine have no effect on you?"

Soma looked at Shirou Emiya's empty cup and touched his chin in confusion.

"You! You! You didn't feel that blissful feeling, like going to heaven!"

The girl had been shocked countless times today, and she looked at Shirou Emiya, who seemed completely unfazed, with utter astonishment.

"have--"
