Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Although I know that Shirou Emiya is indeed very outstanding, there is no need to be so infatuated with him."

Tiony spoke to Tiona in a serious tone.

"Huh? Do you have the right to talk to me like that? Don't you even remember how infatuated you are every time you get close to Captain Finn!"

However, while the two were playfully bickering, Lefia looked at the food in her hand, her face filled with sadness.

Tione also noticed Lefia's distressed expression.

"Cheer up, Lefia, or this delicious food will get cold!"

"Nobody blames you for not successfully casting the spell back then."

"Yes! Yes! Not eating will affect our exploration later on."

Tiona also came over to persuade Lefia.

"However, as a magician, I was afraid of monsters and couldn't recite the spell, even though I was already so far away from the monsters at that time."

"As a member of the Loki Familia, I am utterly disgraced!"

As she said this, Lefia lowered her head.

Tiona and Tione could sense the self-blame in Lefia's voice.

"What's wrong?"

At that moment, after all the food had been distributed to the members of the expedition team, Shirou Emiya also came over with the food in his hands.

"No, it's just that Lefia feels guilty about what happened today."

"Emiya-senpai—thank you for saving me today!"

Lefia looked at Shirou Emiya as he approached, and lowered her head in deep shame to thank him.

"Well, there's no need for that. After all, I was the one who made you fly up into the sky, which is why you encountered such danger."

Emiya Shirou waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for him to thank him in this way.

However, having Lefia fly into the sky to cast magic was the result of Finn's discussion with Shirou Emiya.

After all, there are only a few monsters in the dungeon that can launch ranged attacks and whose attack range can reach the ceiling.

Rather than having Lefia face the monster's threat head-on, it's better to remain calm and cast spells in that situation.

It would be much safer in the sky.

Although monsters were still attacking Lefia.

With Shirou Emiya providing support, Finn doesn't need to worry too much.

As for why Finn knew that Shirou Emiya could make Lefia take off.

Of course, Finn knew that Shirou Emiya also had a set of armor called "Demon Possession".

"But I still held everyone back—"

Before she could finish speaking, a delicate hand gently stroked Lefia's forehead.

He then slowly brought the food in the spoon in his hand to her mouth.

"Ais! You can't bully your juniors like that!"

Tiona rushed over to try and stop Ais.

But Lefia reacted quickly, opening her mouth wide to eat it.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Not only was she touched by Ais!"

"And he was even fed by Ais herself!"

"And I even got to eat such delicious food!"

"Kami-sama, am I in heaven?"

With this thought in mind, Rafia's face was filled with happiness.

"I don't"

Ais responded to Tiona expressionlessly.

"But Rafia cried—"

Tears streamed down Lefia's face.

I am so incredibly happy.

"Lord Loki told me to feed her like this!"

Ais tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.

"Perhaps Lord Loki only wants you to do this to her—"

Tiona quickly waved her hand, trying to evade the question.

"But Emiya's food is really delicious."

Ais scooped up another spoonful and held it to Tiona's lips.

"No, no, I'm afraid Lord Loki will give me that 'How dare you steal my Ais' look if he finds out."

"is it?"

Ais nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"However, perhaps because of your expression, even though I know that Shirou Emiya's food is delicious, I still feel that what you say is not very convincing."

Tiona casually complained to Ais.

Then Ais stared blankly at Tiona for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.

She then began to prove with her actions that she was right.

"good to eat!"

She put the food in her mouth and seemed to be praising it with great excitement.

But his face remained expressionless as he ate the food and made applause.

"good to eat!"

Then he took a second bite and began chewing without any expression.

This reminded Shirou Emiya of Mr. Rengoku, who also took a bite and exclaimed how delicious it was.

Mr. Purgatory maintained his excited expression after finishing his meal, while Ais remained extremely indifferent.

In short, the contrast between the two is quite comical.

Even Shirou Emiya couldn't help but chuckle.

Bert stood silently beside Emiya Shirou, his face full of displeasure.

But the food in his bowl had already been completely eaten.

Although he disliked Shirou Emiya, food was sacred, should not be wasted, and was indeed delicious.

Bert had to admire Emiya Shirou for this.

It's quite remarkable that such simple ingredients can be transformed into such a delicious dish.

"Hey! Hey! Emiya, can you tell me why you've become so strong?"

After dinner, and after giving Lefia a little encouragement, Tiona, with a very interested expression, asked Shirou Emiya a question.

The next second, everyone present turned their attention to Shirou Emiya.

He was an adventurer who had never received any divine blessings, so naturally everyone wanted to understand why Shirou Emiya had become so strong.

And how did they become so strong?

Especially Ais, whose eyes revealed an intense longing.

Meanwhile, Hermes, who was hiding somewhere and in stealth mode, also became interested and quietly approached Emiya Shirou's location.

"Become stronger?"

Emiya Shirou was somewhat lost in thought.

Yes, from that clueless version of myself, to now being able to stand on my own and even teach others.

Without realizing it, I have grown to this point.

Before we knew it, another year had passed.

Those experiences, those journeys, and the people I met are still vivid in my mind.

"Train hard, and fight on!"

After thinking for a moment, Shirou Emiya answered Tiona's question.

Since stepping into the first world, Shirou Emiya has been relentlessly training himself, whether it is archery, swordsmanship, or mastery of his projection magic.

He took one step at a time toward becoming stronger.

"Hey! Isn't this answer too general? For example, it could be something like a god who saved you and gave you power, or a swordsman who acquired a treasure and whose power flowed into your body."

Tiona's face was full of doubt at Shirou Emiya's answer.

How old is Emiya Shirou? He's 16.

It's important to know that Ais, blessed by the gods, began exploring dungeons at the age of eight and persevered in training day after day, year after year, to reach this level.

Moreover, Ais herself possesses unparalleled talent, which enabled her to reach such a level in such a short time.

And Shirou Emiya? In their eyes, he was nothing.

"When you level up, under certain conditions you can gain special effects or enhance your abilities, which are called skills."

Emiya did not immediately respond to Tiona's question.
