Looking at Shirou Emiya in front of him, Lin Ye asked, puzzled.
"Emiya-kun, is there something you need?"
Lin Ye didn't understand why Shirou Emiya would come looking for him. Did he still have his eye on the Dragon Balls? Well, he'd better not think about it. At least Lin Ye didn't want to acquire all of Shirou's abilities. After all... he was too weak right now.
Even if Lin Ye were to give someone away, he would definitely give someone stronger than himself, or someone he had a good relationship with. So he would definitely not give it to Emiya Shirou; giving it to Red Archer would be more appropriate.
Seeing Lin Ye's question, Emiya Shirou silently shook his head, then his gaze suddenly hardened! He then bowed deeply to Lin Ye and said...
"Mr. Lin Ye! Please accept me as your apprentice!"
Ok? ? ?
Lin Ye hadn't expected that Shirou Emiya would come to him for this. However, Lin Ye didn't know that this was a decision Shirou Emiya had pondered all night before making.
Shirou Emiya's dream is to become a champion of justice, and he worked hard to learn magic from his adoptive father, Kiritsugu Emiya. Unfortunately, he lacked talent and only learned enhancement magic in the end.
After yesterday's battle, he finally saw hope for improving his strength in Lin Ye. This world is too chaotic. If you want to become a partner of justice, strong strength is a must.
He had considered finding other teachers, but each swordsman had their own style, and the standards for accepting apprentices were too strict. Improvement would be too slow.
By the way, it's worth mentioning that because this is a crossover anime world, strange powers aren't too secretive, so due to the butterfly effect, Shirou Emiya also registered a hero's identity, although he's only a C-rank hero.
However, no matter how determined you are, Lin Ye currently has absolutely no intention of taking on any disciples.
It's not that I'm afraid of my swordsmanship being passed on; after all, I didn't develop it myself, so I wouldn't mind if it got out. The main thing now is Lin Ye…
He's lazy!
"Teaching apprentices is too much trouble." Thinking this, Lin Ye directly said to Shirou Emiya in front of him.
"I'm sorry, but I have to decline your request."
Chapter 18 Kaguya Shinomiya's Thank-You Dress
"Refuse? That's understandable. Taking on a disciple is such a significant matter; it can't be done casually." Shirou Emiya expressed his understanding. He was simply asking; whether or not Lin Ye would accept him was up to him. However, even if he couldn't become Lin Ye's disciple, his dream of becoming a champion of justice would never fade.
Emiya Shirou thought for a moment, then continued looking at Lin Ye in front of him, saying, "Could it be that my method of becoming a disciple wasn't grand enough? I've heard that in China, accepting a disciple requires three kneelings and nine kowtows..."
"Don't! I'm afraid it'll shorten my lifespan!" Lin Ye quickly stopped Emiya Shirou. He could tell that this honest man was definitely the type who would actually kowtow.
“Emiya Shirou, my swordsmanship doesn’t have many rules for teaching, but not everyone can learn it. Besides, your future doesn’t lie with me, it lies with yourself,” Lin Ye said.
He was telling the truth; the Breathing of the Sun is indeed not something everyone can learn. When the Devil May Cry team was formed, Yoriichi Tsugikuni taught a group of swordsmen. Unfortunately, none of them were able to master it.
However, although they didn't master it, they developed their own breathing techniques based on the principles of Sun Breathing, which later became known as Flame-Water-Lightning, etc. 4
As for why Shirou Emiya's future depends on himself... well, isn't Archer himself? When he meets Archer, he'll naturally become stronger, perhaps even stronger than he is now. However, by then... he'll probably have already experienced a significant power leap thanks to the Dragon Balls.
"My swordsmanship is not suitable for you; only what suits you best is truly the best."
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Shirou Emiya wore a helpless expression. He felt that Lin Ye was trying to comfort him, but he didn't disappoint Lin Ye's good intentions.
"Thank you for your comforting words, I'm fine. Well... I won't bother you any longer, I'll take my leave now."
At this point, Shirou Emiya bowed deeply to Lin Ye once again.
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
Seeing that Emiya Shirou was no longer conflicted, Lin Ye prepared to leave with Kasumigaoka Utaha, however...
"Please wait! Lin Ye!"
Another voice rang out, and upon hearing it, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath to calm her surging emotions. What was going on? Was it really so difficult for her to have some alone time with Lin Ye?
At this moment, Lin Ye and Kasumigaoka Utaha turned around again, but this time, it was Shinomiya Kaguya who walked over.
"Shinomiya Kaguya?"
"Just call me Kaguya." Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and nodded at Lin Ye. She also looked curiously at Kasumigaoka Utaha beside Lin Ye. She hadn't expected that the aloof and mature woman rumored to be so familiar with Lin Ye.
But it seems it's just familiarity. After all, a man's gaze towards a woman is impossible to hide.
Seeing the way Kaguya Shinomiya was looking at her, Kasumigaoka Utaha instinctively sensed something was wrong, but she didn't say anything. After all, she understood that her current identity was just Lin Ye's friend, not his girlfriend, so she had no reason to say anything.
Lin Ye also didn't know why Kaguya had come to find him. Surely she wasn't here to become his apprentice too? If it was Takamachi Kyouya, that was somewhat possible, but Kaguya... that was definitely out of the question.
"Alright, Kaguya-san, why haven't you left yet? It's dangerous when it gets dark."
Looking at Lin Ye in front of her, Kaguya took a long wooden box from the bodyguard behind her, and then handed the box to Lin Ye, saying...
"Lin Ye, thank you for saving my life yesterday. Please accept this small gift."
After Kaguya finished speaking, she opened the box in her hand. The next second, Lin Ye could see the contents of the box!
This is a knife that gleams with a cold light. The blade is long and slender, and it looks like it has undergone a lot of polishing. Lin Ye also recognizes this knife!
"The demon sword Muramasa?" That's right, the demon sword Muramasa.
This knife is incredibly sharp. It is said that the knifesmith once tested its sharpness by sticking it into a stream and discovered that every leaf that touched the blade was cleaved in two the instant it touched the edge.
Of course, the most famous story about this sword is the legend that no one who wielded it had a good ending, which is also the origin of its name as a demon sword.
"It's just a replica." Kaguya silently took the sword out of the box and handed it to Lin Ye with both hands. "The real one is a national treasure, and I certainly can't obtain it with my abilities. However, this replica is also made by the most famous swordsmith, crafted from the hardest alloy. So, this is just a second-generation Muramasa. But it should suit you quite well, Lin Ye."
Chapter 19 Please State Your Wish
"I can't accept a reward without merit. I won't take this sword," Lin Ye refused. However, Kaguya Shinomiya insisted.
"How can it be a waste of effort? Do you, Lin Ye, think my life is less valuable than a knife?"
Kaguya's words effectively shut down Lin Ye's next words, clearly demonstrating that she knew when to say the right thing. Moreover, Kaguya was very clever; noticing that Lin Ye had used wooden swords yesterday, she decided to give him a fine sword, and she thought of much more than that.
Lin Ye, being a swordsman, must practice his sword every day. Whenever he takes out this sword, he will inevitably think of himself, the person who gave him the sword. Over time, his impression of him will be deeply ingrained in the other person's mind.
However, Kaguya never expected that Lin Ye's swordsmanship was completely untrained. Let alone practicing every day, it was uncertain how many times he would be able to use it in the future.
“It’s different. I already took the Dragon Balls, so I’ve already given you a gift. You don’t need to give me another one.”
"That's not how it is. The Dragon Balls never belonged to me, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to take them. If you really insist on not having this sword, Lin Ye, then Kaguya will forever owe you a favor. If you have any requests, Kaguya will do everything in her power to fulfill them." Kaguya's words were a classic case of feigning weakness to advance. If Lin Ye really didn't want the Second Muramasa, then she would use this favor to link the two together.
Hearing Kaguya say this, Lin Ye could only helplessly accept the second-generation Muramasa in front of him and say...
"Very well, since that's the case, I'll accept it without further ado."
Lin Ye took the second-generation Muramasa and then immediately put it into the system space. Lin Ye's move surprised everyone, but the girls present were all smart and none of them asked any questions.
Lin Ye glanced at the setting sun before speaking to Kaguya.
"Well then, Kaguya-san, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Kaguya nodded, then got into a brand-new private car and left.
After watching Kaguya leave, Lin Ye turned to Kasumigaoka Utaha beside him and said...
"Alright, alright, stop looking. I'm hungry even if you're not."
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he led Kasumigaoka Utaha directly toward their target. Looking at Lin Ye's back, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally understood something.
"My treasure boy can't be hidden anymore."
That's just how people are. Kasumigaoka Utaha used to complain when she read novels about why the male protagonists were always surrounded by a group of outstanding people. Now she finally understood that it wasn't that outstanding people surrounded the protagonist, but rather that when the protagonist was outstanding enough, other outstanding people would be automatically attracted to him.
Even the friends of a multi-millionaire are at least millionaires.
The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease.
"But so what? I... I was here first."
Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips curled up slightly; she was very confident in herself.
...............
"SHINOS Chef" French restaurant
Lin Ye and Kasumigaoka Utaha sat facing each other, and in front of them were all kinds of food. The tempting aroma was enough to whet one's appetite just by smelling it.
"This restaurant looks pretty good," Lin Ye couldn't help but give it a thumbs up.
Seeing Lin Ye's satisfied expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha said proudly, "Of course, the owner of this shop is Shinomiya Kojiro, the first seat of the 79th Totsuki Elite Ten, so his level is naturally extraordinary."
"Shinomiya Kojiro? No wonder this restaurant's name sounds so familiar." Lin Ye finally remembered this restaurant. Shinomiya Kojiro, the first Japanese to receive the Order of Prusp, is known as the magician of vegetable cuisine. "In that case, we should definitely give it a try."
After Lin Ye finished speaking, he also began to taste it silently. Sure enough, the moment the food entered his mouth, Lin Ye could feel his taste buds blooming. Seeing Lin Ye's satisfied expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha also showed a satisfied smile, and then began to lower her head and "fight" with the red cucumber in front of her.
"Red-juice cucumbers, frozen eggplant cubes, pineapple lettuce, mushroom omelets—all vegetables! Are you feeding them to chickens?"
"Can't all this delicious food shut you up?" Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at Lin Ye, then forked a piece of red cucumber and stuffed it into Lin Ye's mouth.
How could she tell Lin Ye that she actually wanted to lose weight? Well, what could she do? Someone always called her "Fatty Xia."
Sigh, if Lin Ye knew what Kasumigaoka Utaha thought, he'd probably feel incredibly wronged. When he said "fat," he meant Kasumigaoka Utaha was curvy in the right places; it would be a real shame if she were thin in other areas.
Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha in front of him, Lin Ye also thought of the five Dragon Balls in his arms. Suddenly, he looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and asked...
"Kasumigaoka-senpai, if you could have one wish granted, what would it be?"
Chapter Twenty: The Second Summoning of the Divine Dragons of the Heavens
"My wish?" Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her hand, tilted her head, and looked at Lin Ye in front of her. Then she said, "I don't know. Money? My income is okay. Strength? I don't like fighting and killing. Rather than fighting and killing, I'd like to find someone who can protect me..."
Having said that, Kasumigaoka Utaha silently glanced at Lin Ye's expression. Seeing that Lin Ye seemed to have thought of something, she continued with satisfaction.
"As for the rest... does being able to eat forever without gaining weight count?"
Lin Ye…………
"Can't you... have some ambition? You should at least have a dream, tell me about it." Lin Ye was quite generous to Kasumigaoka Utaha. He even thought that if he collected all seven Dragon Balls, should he grant Kasumigaoka Utaha's wish? After all, he didn't have many friends.
But... I can't gain weight? Just say you want to waste my Dragon Balls!
Kasumigaoka Utaha thought for a moment, then looked down at the "Love Metronome" and "AngelBeats!" lying quietly in her bag before speaking.
"Perhaps what I want is to create a work that will be renowned worldwide."
"Oh." Lin Ye nodded, then continued struggling with the food on the plate in front of him. It wasn't that Kasumigaoka Utaha's dream was bad, it's just that it couldn't be achieved with the Dragon Balls.
Dragon Ball could directly instill a classic Earth work into Kasumigaoka Utaha, but Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't accept that method. Otherwise, Lin Ye could have just used Spirited Away, and there wouldn't have been a problem.
Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him curiously and asked...
"Lin Ye, what is your wish? You have five Dragon Balls now."
Kasumigaoka Utaha was also very curious. She really wanted to know what Lin Ye's wish was. After knowing Lin Ye for so long, she still didn't seem to know what Lin Ye liked the most.
Listening to Kasumigaoka Utaha's words, Lin Ye thought about it for a moment.
Money? I have enough money of my own.
Strength? I'm a man with a system; I'll have it sooner or later.
Power? Forget it. With my lazy nature, I'd be doomed to perish sooner or later if I were given a country.
Lin Ye thought for a long time before looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha in front of him and saying, "Does living happily with the person you like count?"
Ah!
Hearing Lin Ye say that, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up even more. She proudly raised her 89, as if trying to attract Lin Ye's attention. However, Lin Ye looked at his Dragon Ball and shook his head.
"Unfortunately, the Dragon Balls can't grant me this wish."
Lin Ye meant that he couldn't use the Dragon Balls, but when Kasumigaoka Utaha heard this, it meant that the feelings given by the Dragon Balls weren't real feelings. In an instant, Kasumigaoka Utaha's affection for Lin Ye increased once again.
Isn't a man who pursues true love incredibly charming?
For a moment, the two of them quietly enjoyed this rare delicacy.
At that moment, a voice rang in Lin Ye's mind.
[Master, world detected. So what if I've been reborn as a spider? I'm almost finished collecting the Dragon Balls. Would you like to go there immediately?]
Ok? ? ?
Upon hearing the system's voice, Lin Ye's eyes lit up instantly.
Does this mean that all the Dragon Balls from around the world have been gathered together? Does that mean I'll soon have something new and fun to play?
