Between newcomers and old friends, Li Cheng was more concerned about the latter's safety.
"Don't worry about me."
Kiritsugu Emiya turned to face Li Cheng, but his eyes darted to the other side. Li Cheng followed his gaze and saw a faint light flash by in an abandoned building not far away.
Maiya? If it's her, she can protect Kiritsugu Emiya.
"I understand. Then be careful on your own."
Having understood Kiritsugu Emiya's plan, Li Cheng didn't waste any more words. He jumped directly from the fifth-floor rooftop, landing silently, and then quickly sneaked into the rear of the factory from the side.
Time passed second by second, and not long after, several black cars slowly drove up the gravel-strewn dirt road under the cover of night, approaching the factory.
Kiritsugu Emiya stood on the rooftop, his black coat billowing in the wind, which should have made him quite conspicuous in the night. However, the criminals inside the car, nervously observing their surroundings, completely ignored his presence, as if he weren't even there.
Can't even break through basic interference magic? What a lousy magician! No wonder he chose such a remote place as his base. If that's the case, then we can let Tohsaka release more water.
The vehicle quickly arrived at the open space outside the factory. Then, the factory's roller shutter door opened, and a group of people stepped out, along with another group from the vehicle, and they all gathered together. Kiritsugu Emiya easily spotted the leader in the crowd—for no other reason than that he was too flamboyant.
Wearing a bright pink shirt, with a shaved head but small braids on either side of his face, he deliberately walked at the front of the group with an exaggerated smile. Especially noticeable was the large photo of a blonde woman on his shirt, next to the bright red phrase "Long Live the King!" It was impossible not to notice him. Come to think of it, is he a fan of that Queen from the British Empire in the Free Alliance? I seem to remember Wuming having some kind of connection with that Queen...
In short, if it weren't for testing Touma Kamijou's abilities, Kiritsugu Emiya, even in his current severely injured and unable-to-fighting state, could easily take out the enemy with a single shot. Then, Tohsaka could go up and unleash a massive explosion, wiping out the entire group and finishing the job.
Even without resorting to the most brutal methods, none of these people could escape. Kiritsugu Emiya, though he had abandoned some of his past cruel and naive ideas for the sake of his family, would still do everything in his power to eliminate any evil he could touch, giving it no chance whatsoever.
"Operation begins!"
With a voice so cold it was almost icy, Kiritsugu Emiya issued his orders over the communication.
A faint point of light fell into the crowd.
Two completely amateur magicians sensed an extremely faint fluctuation of magical energy. While they were still wondering what was happening, a sun suddenly erupted from the crowd, almost instantly blinding everyone. Immediately afterward, a bolt of lightning swept through the crowd, and within a second, over 80% of the people were rendered incapacitated.
They weren't electrocuted outright, after all, some of these people were too poor and forced into this situation by the need to survive. The Sixth Group would occasionally let some of their underlings off the hook. Of course, "letting them off the hook" here only meant not killing them outright, but giving them a chance to go to jail.
A graceful figure emerged from the darkness. Rin Tohsaka, clad in a black, standard bodysuit, stepped out of her hiding place, her face cold, facing the dozen or so enemies who could barely stand. Those who had survived were seasoned veterans, and naturally wouldn't underestimate their opponent just because she was a young woman. However, the oddly-looking leader's eyes lit up when he saw Rin, and he exclaimed in surprise:
Wow, hot girl!
"..."
"Um, he wasn't singing just now, was he? Although the lyrics were quite similar..."
During the communication, Li Cheng hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question.
"Huh, were those lyrics? I've never heard them before."
This was another question raised by a pure newcomer who had just joined that evening and didn't know what Li Cheng was talking about.
The magical power that strengthened her body surged through her, blue patterns appearing on her limbs. Rin Tohsaka charged into the crowd like a cheetah, instantly taking down a large group of people. Using the magical combat techniques unique to the Tohsaka family, combining magic and martial arts, along with the powerful martial arts style known as "Elegant Combat," specially modified for Rin's slender and agile physique by her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, a martial arts master, she moved through the crowd as if it were empty, quickly defeating more than half the people.
The two magicians and their leader immediately realized that this was an insurmountable enemy and tried to escape by car. However, Rin Tohsaka blocked their escape route, so the three of them had no choice but to flee into the factory behind them.
If all three go in, the newcomers will probably...
Rin Tohsaka frowned, punched a seaweed-haired man blocking her way, sending his eyes rolling back in his head, and prepared to give chase. Just then, she heard Kiritsugu Emiya's voice on the radio.
"Tohsaka, ignore those three and just focus on dealing with these grunts."
Oh, so you mean there was a backup plan, right?
Immediately understanding the deputy leader's meaning, Rin Tohsaka focused on dealing with the thugs who were trying to gang up on her. With one foot stomping on the face of a seaweed-haired man rolling his eyes, she charged back into the crowd.
Meanwhile, inside the factory, a young man leaned against the wall, panting heavily. In front of him lay about a dozen people, each with a swollen and bruised face. They must have taken at least seven or eight heavy punches to end up in such a pitiful state.
The boy also had marks on his body from being beaten and suffered many injuries. He was panting and leaning against the wall to rest and recover the strength he had previously exhausted.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Cheng was somewhat impressed by the boy. In terms of strength and physical ability, the boy wasn't much different from an ordinary person. However, he was facing a group of ruthless criminals who trafficked drugs, some of whom were also drug users themselves. Many of his opponents were far stronger and more physically imposing than the boy. Therefore, when he stepped forward to face these people, Li Cheng was already prepared to intervene and rescue him at any moment.
Unexpectedly, after his initial attempts at hand-to-hand combat were met with setbacks, the boy immediately began a chase-and-chase game with his enemies in the massive factory. He used the complex terrain to shake off his powerful opponents and disrupted their actions by employing various items. He tried to ensure that each battle was a one-on-one situation as much as possible, and either resolved the situation quickly or escaped immediately.
In the end, he managed to kill all the enemies in the factory with his relatively strong physical abilities. Of course, this was also due to the fact that those people underestimated him because they thought he would only run away and dared not fight head-on.
If he trains his physique properly, this kid has a bright future; he's truly a promising talent. However, his resume isn't particularly outstanding, so why does he seem so familiar with being chased and beaten by a group of people?
Rapid, hurried footsteps sounded from ahead. Touma Kamijou became alert, forcing himself to stand firm despite his injuries, and stared at the approaching figures. Soon, three people ran up to him. Seeing the people lying on the ground and Touma Kamijou watching them anxiously, they immediately understood what had happened.
"We're doomed! We're surrounded!"
Then, under the astonished gazes of Touma Kamijou and Li Cheng, who was hiding in the shadows, the three of them actually split into three different directions and fled in their own way.
"Hey, don't even think about running away!"
The righteous young man quickly realized what was happening. He picked one person and chased after them. He wasn't worried about the other two escaping, because he had already destroyed all the exits from the beginning, and with Tohsaka-senpai guarding the outside, he was confident there wouldn't be any problems.
These reactions were completely observed by Li Cheng.
How naive you are, Kamijou. While it's true that ordinary people can't open a sealed door, and those two half-baked magicians probably can't either, their boss is a genuine B-rank, so breaking down a door is very easy for him. Just from that point of view, your awareness is lacking.
Thinking this, he turned to observe the other two and found that their leader had pulled on the sealed door twice but couldn't open it. He immediately shouted, "There's definitely an ambush!" and then ran to try another exit.
Hey, is this even possible?
In short, until Touma Kamijou's Friendship Punch knocked down the two half-baked magicians and found the boss, the other party was unable to escape because he was afraid of a trap outside the door.
"Damn it, don't come any closer!"
The boss threw out a shipping container, which Touma Kamijou barely managed to dodge.
"Damn it, take this! This is a secret technique I obtained from the great magician!"
A powerful talisman was thrown out, and then Touma Kamijou extended his right hand, activating a powerful erasure ability that annihilated and destroyed that force.
"He actually withstood the power of the Great Magician with just his bare body? How is that possible? If I go up and fight him hand-to-hand, won't I be asking for death? No, I have to escape! Wait, how did I end up in a dead end? Hey, don't come any closer."
Finally, a powerful punch landed on the boss's face. Even so, in Li Cheng's eyes, Touma's full-force attack was merely a tickle; it could only make the boss take two steps back. However, just in time, there was a high-voltage electric machine running behind the boss, allowing him to close the distance instantly. After an incredibly intense electric shock, the boss, his body charred black, collapsed to the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
Li Cheng had nothing more to say.
Rin Tohsaka, who had been secretly following and waiting for reinforcements after eliminating all the minions, was stunned.
Having witnessed the entire process on the monitor, Kiritsugu Emiya sighed, opened his communicator, and said, "Call the police to take them away. Let's call it a day."
After thinking for a moment, he reconnected with the newcomer.
"Touma Kamijou, right?"
"Yes!"
The voice on the other end sounded tired but tense, but it seemed to be in pretty good spirits.
"...You've passed."
After thinking for a long time, Kiritsugu Emiya still couldn't think of what to say, so he could only say this: "At first, I was just responsible for catching the henchmen who were trying to escape, but in the end, I single-handedly defeated all the main culprits. I don't know what else to say."
This internship and field trip then came to an end.
…………
Thank you, reader, for the monthly pass that brought you smiles.
Thank you to readers Sheniao Guoer and Gensokyo*Maoyu for their recommendation votes.
Another 4000-word chapter, please vote!
I recommend a book by a renowned author: "Mr. Hunter is Working Hard Today Too."
Struggling and going mad amidst the torment of beastly blood and fire, ultimately merging with both, that is the hunter. Even if they escape from that endless suffering, these two elements have already become deeply ingrained in the hunter's body, inseparable ever since.
Let the gods be gods, and the men be men, especially those evil gods; it would be better if they remained asleep forever.
This is the new job Matthew Astrid chose for himself after leaving Yharnam.
Although I'm still doing the same old job, the workload is much heavier than before—especially dealing with a bunch of exhausting students.
With its Cthulhu bloodline, crossover elements, and perfectly integrated translation style, this book is one I truly love. It's excellent and highly recommended!
Section 31, Chapter 9: Xi's Trip to the Amusement Park
As expected, I still felt uneasy.
Li Cheng stared intently at the documents in front of him, motionless, like a statue.
Following yesterday's operation, as is customary, they were to compile a report. With the team leader absent and the deputy team leader, Kiritsugu Emiya, in poor condition due to his injury and unable to complete the report independently, the task of assisting Kiritsugu Emiya in organizing the data and compiling the report fell to Li Cheng.
This was certainly not the reason he was so nervous.
His anxiety stemmed from the fact that two days prior, due to his job interview, Touma Kamijou couldn't take care of Yakumo Ushio and had sent her to his friend Kiritsugu Emiya's house. Unexpectedly, when he went to pick her up that evening, Kiritsugu's eldest daughter, Illya, rushed out and asked to take Yakumo Ushio to the amusement park.
He was naturally happy to let a few children play together. The more tide interacted with others, the more she resembled ordinary people, and the less likely anyone would notice her abnormality. Especially innocent and kind girls like Ilya could have a positive influence on Xi.
But... this is assuming he's with him.
Yes, Shio is currently playing in a crowded amusement park with Illya, Shirou Emiya, and the others.
With Shirou Emiya, a mature and reliable older boy, leading the way, and Illya not being an overly active or disobedient child, Shio will definitely be fine with their help. There's absolutely nothing to worry about...
Yeah, right!
How could I not worry! She's Xi, after all! What if they notice something's wrong with her? What if she gets hurt by some creepy old man with ulterior motives? What if she gets lost? What if she gets into a fight with some random stranger? Ugh, I can't calm down at all!!
Li Cheng was gripped by unparalleled agitation.
Sitting to the side, Kiritsugu Emiya could only sigh and rub his forehead as he looked at Li Cheng's foolish father. He then picked up his phone, turned on GPS, and only after confirming Illya's location for the thirty-eighth time did he put the GPS away and continue working on the data in front of him.
While the two men were busy working in the office, on the other side, in the bustling amusement park, Illya held Yakumo Shio's little hand and ran around happily, while Emiya Shirou followed behind with a bag of snacks and a smile. The three of them were having a great time.
"tide, you're really brave."
Ilya looked at Shio with great admiration and said.
"Roller coasters, log flumes, pirate ships... Ilya wouldn't dare try so many scary rides, but Shio had no problems at all. She's really amazing! How did she do that?"
Is it scary?
tide tilted her head, licked the ice cream in her hand, and looked puzzled.
"Sit down, it's quick, the wind is strong, it's cool and comfortable, don't be afraid."
tide said naturally.
"Shio-chan, you really can't speak in long sentences..."
