My two-dimensional resident

Chapter 61 Ace is a man of great loyalty and righteousness; he'll really step up when something's wrong!

Erza and Hercules watched the two silently, neither of them interrupting their silent battle.

Erza believes that her brother and Illya are simply communicating their feelings in a special way.

This wasn't just wild speculation on her part; among the friends she'd met in the Tower of Paradise not long ago, there were two others with a similar relationship to Lin Tian and Ilya.

As for Hercules, he didn't sense any murderous intent from Lin Tian towards Ilya, so he didn't intend to stop the two of them.

10 seconds...

1 minutes...

3 minutes...

The two stared at each other like statues. Neither of them wanted to be the first to back down!

......

"Lin Tian! Lin Tian! I caught one! Haha! I caught one!"

Just as the two men, locked in a standoff, were about to give up, a figure came running towards them from the west, shouting and yelling.

"Ace, you caught a sawshark?"

Seeing Ace running excitedly towards him, shouting "I caught it!", Lin Tian ignored Ilya.

Turning to look at Ace running towards him, he was quite surprised. In his mind, the person who would catch the sawshark the fastest would either be himself or the 'lucky' Kikyo, but he never expected that Ace would catch the sawshark first.

"Haha! I already told you I'm on the boat, and I'm the 100th consecutive fishing champion! Here, go and turn in your quest!"

As he spoke, Ace took out a fish tank from his backpack and placed it on the ground. With a bang, as the white smoke dissipated, the fish tank, which was more than two meters long, appeared in front of everyone.

Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, went to the fish tank, and turned on the light strip. A saw shark about 1.4 meters long appeared in front of them, with a long, serrated mouth and a fierce-looking face.

"It really is a sawshark! Ace, you're awesome! I'll go and give it to Little K right now."

After confirming it was a sawshark, Lin Tian put it directly into his backpack. Then he turned to look at the others and said...

"Everyone, thank you so much for your hard work tonight! It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. Erza, I have a task for you: go and tell Kikyo that you don't need to go fishing anymore. Go back and rest!"

"Hmph, if I'd known I wouldn't have needed to go fishing, I wouldn't have come. Little Erza, I'll come see you tomorrow! Bye-bye!"

"Goodnight, Sister Ilya and Uncle Hercules!"

Seeing that Ace had already caught the sawshark, Ilya complained in a dissatisfied tone and left with Hercules.

"Brother, I'm going to inform Kikyo. Goodnight! Goodnight, Ace!"

"Uh, goodbye, little Erza!"

After the others left, only Lin Tian and Ace remained on the beach. Ace looked at Ilya's departing figure, then looked at Lin Tian with some confusion.

"What's wrong with Ilya? She seemed so easy to get along with before, why is she so unfriendly now?"

"She's just being arrogant!"

Although Ace acts as recklessly as Luffy, he is sometimes better at perceiving people's hearts, and he has different thoughts about Lin Tian's answer.

"No! I don't think so. It seems like she's deliberately distancing herself from us. My intuition never lies!"

Ace, contrary to his usual behavior, refuted Lin Tian's idea. He stared in the direction where Ilya and the others had left, his brows furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

"That's normal. Ilya is a magician. Magicians are all about intelligence; they don't easily trust strangers they've just met..."

"No, no, no! I mean I sensed that she was distancing herself from us out of goodwill..."

"Ok?"

Hearing Ace's words, Lin Tian's expression changed, and he began to recall his memories of Ilya. Suddenly, he remembered something he had overlooked when he was talking to Ilya at noon that day.

"As expected, as the princess of Einzbern and the existence of the Lesser Grail, she is very clever and has begun to believe what I told her. At the same time, she is very kind and deliberately distances herself from us to avoid having too many ties with us."

"Lin Tian, ​​I've decided to return to the East Sea later. The reason... is that I want to wait until we've finished building the service hall and can leave, then we'll go help Ilya complete the Holy Grail War first. After that, I'll go back to the East Sea to find my companions!"

Ace's eyes shone brightly, and under the moonlight, his expression was resolute and serious. An invisible aura radiated from him.

"Um, are you sure? Ilya's world is extremely dangerous. Don't be fooled by the fact that Ilya's physical stats are only around 20. Her magic power is almost 200."

Although Hercules hasn't joined us and we can't see his stats, I can confidently say that his attribute values ​​are at least 400 or higher.

While not all the Heroic Spirits participating in the Holy Grail War have stronger stats than Hercules, they are not weaker either. Most importantly, they each possess their own special moves and Noble Phantasms, which can significantly enhance their strength.

Although you've been eating apples these past few days and gained over forty attribute points, making you quite stronger, you can't be of any help in Ilya's world!

Finally! And most, most, most, most important! What caused this sudden thought to pop into your head?

With the arrival of Illya and Erza, Lin Tian gained magical attributes. At the same time, he also witnessed Illya and Erza's true power in their world.

Leaving Erza aside, she was just a child who had just awakened her magic power. Her highest physical attribute value was magic power, which exceeded 10, while the others hovered around 6 or 7.

Ilya is different. Her body is that of a half-human, and after another round of modifications, her attribute values ​​are basically around 20. What's even more terrifying is that her magic power has reached 189.

Lin Tian could only guess at Hercules's attribute values. Although summoning a powerful Heroic Spirit required items used by that spirit in its previous life, the success of the summoning ultimately depended on the Master's magical power.

Ilya's magic power is 189, and Lin Tian estimated that Hercules's attribute values ​​are at least double that.

"Of course it's Hercules! He's the one who showed me what advanced martial arts are like!"

Now that there are six others as powerful as Hercules in this Holy Grail War, my fighting spirit begins to burn fiercely!

"..." Lin Tian gave Ace a look that made him look like an idiot. He was at a loss for words to explain further: the other party's strength was far superior to his own; going there would only be suicide. This was a simple, simplistic truth.

"Lin Tian, ​​I'm going to be the Pirate King! How could I back down just because the opponent is strong? A true strongman is one who draws his sword against another strongman!"

Even if the heroic spirits you mentioned are stronger than me, I've already decided to challenge them. I will definitely go! Haha!

"..."

Lin Tian stared expressionlessly at Ace, who showed no fear whatsoever (no sense of self-awareness) and could even laugh out loud (he seriously suspected that Hercules had damaged his brain).

'Are Luffy's three brothers definitely not related by blood? Why do they all have the exact same personality? Oda, are you sure you understand One Piece?'

"Ace, let me think about this... It's already eleven o'clock, I'll go find Little K to hand in the mission first."

For a moment, Lin Tian didn't know how to deal with Ace's desire to go to the Type-Moon world. He sighed and felt a headache coming on.

Ace's passionate spirit, fearlessness in the face of powerful enemies, and courageous fighting are typical of shonen anime. But Lin Tian is different; he doesn't come from a shonen anime.

As the island's owner, he had to consider the safety of every resident. He had to analyze everything with the most rational mindset.

Ace made this decision on a whim, and Lin Tian felt it was best to let him calm down for a few days and carefully consider the pros and cons.

"Lin Tian actually doesn't believe me! No, I must become stronger in the next few days and make him look at me with new eyes!"

Hmm...it's settled then! Tomorrow I'll go find Hercules and challenge him to a duel! Fighting him today taught me a lot of martial arts techniques...hehe..."

Lin Tian's hesitant behavior made Ace think that he was underestimating his strength! In order to make Lin Tian look at him with new eyes, Ace decided that he must improve his strength during this period of time.

On the other side, guided by the moonlight, Lin Tian returned to the square, went into the tent, handed over the mission to Xiao Ke who was still awake, and then returned to his own tent alone.

......

A few days later, the sky was covered with dark clouds. When Lin Tian and Jie Geng arrived at the square, a shop about fifty meters to the south had sprung up overnight.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Should Kikyo, who has let go of all her responsibilities and burdens from her life, reveal her inner feelings?

'Are Luffy's three brothers definitely not related by blood? Why do they all have the exact same personality? Oda, are you sure you understand One Piece?'

......

A few days later, in the early morning, the dark clouds in the sky began to gradually recede, and sunlight shone through the gaps onto the earth. The torrential rain of the previous night brought considerable vitality to the island, and countless flowers bloomed on the island like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

At eight o'clock in the morning, when Lin Tian and Jie Geng arrived at the square, a shop about fifty meters to the south had sprung up overnight.

The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other's thoughts. Without saying much, they walked side by side into the store managed by Xiaodou and Xiaoli.

Ring~ Ring~

As the shop door was pushed open, the wind chimes hanging on the door made a pleasant, crisp sound. When the two raccoon dogs, Xiaodou and Xiaoli, saw Lin Tian and his companion arrive, they put on professional, standard smiles and came to them.

"Welcome, this is Nok's Shop. Lin Tianli and Jiegengli, what would you like to buy?"

"If you have any problems, you can ask Xiaodou and Xiaoli for help!"

The two little ones chatted happily, each saying their own thing. In Lin Tian's world, their service attitude would surely earn them the title of top salesperson year after year.

Lin Tian glanced around and noticed that the store mostly contained sofas, low tables, decorations, large teddy bear pillows, and some flower seeds. These things didn't hold much appeal for Lin Tian at the moment.

"Hmm, let's take a look first. Xiaodou and Xiaoli, you two go ahead and do your work. If there's anything we want to buy, we'll come find you."

"Okay, Lin Tianli!" ×2

Seeing that Lin Tian didn't want to buy their products, Xiaodou and Xiaoli showed no displeasure. Instead, they continued to smile and bow.

“These things are so beautiful. When I was a shrine maiden, I was summoned to Kyoto by a daimyo, but even the daimyo’s mansion didn’t have this much luxurious furniture.”

Unlike Lin Tian, ​​who had a modern perspective, Kikyo was drawn to the items in the store. She walked to the nearest two-seater sofa, her delicate hand gently touching the leather coat, feeling the sensation travel from her fingertips to her mind. Kikyo couldn't help but sigh.

"Hehe, if you like them, you can buy them all and decorate your home. These pieces of furniture aren't very expensive; just buy whichever one you like!"

Seeing that Kikyo was quite interested in the furniture, Lin Tian chuckled softly, indicating that she could buy the furniture according to her own wishes.

"No, we just used all our Bells to build the bridge yesterday. We don't have enough left to build the arena. Let's earn another 9 Bells and build the arena first."

Kikyo strolled slowly down the shop aisle, carefully admiring the furniture and items she had never seen before. After hearing Lin Tian's words, she shook her head at him, rejecting his suggestion.
