Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

"棣??????"

[P.S.: 5 chapters owed.]

Chapter 229: How dare you mess with me, you bastard!

"You've really given me a lot to look for, Shirou Emiya."

On his way to Mount Enzo with the young lady from Tokyo, Emiya was stopped by an old classmate. Looking at this classmate who was still wearing his school uniform two or three years after graduation, Emiya sighed softly.

"Julian, I never imagined you were living in such dire straits. You're still wearing the same school uniform today. It's rare for you to take the initiative to find your old classmate. I'm a kind-hearted person, and I can't bear to see you in such a miserable state. I have a Yuji card here; you can use it for now."

"...".

Upon hearing Shirou Emiya's words, the old classmate frowned, scrutinizing the man before him who differed somewhat from the Shirou who had fled the Emiya household in such a disheveled state. After a long pause, he suddenly squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

"It's you!"

"It's me. Wait, why are you so surprised? Were you looking for someone else earlier?"

Mr. Emiya raised an eyebrow, then snapped out of his reverie and burst into laughter.

"You're not hunting down some kid from this parallel world, are you? No offense, but you've been out of school for a year or two, and you're still bullying high school students? That's just too despicable."

"You're the real scoundrel, Emiya Shirou! If it weren't for you destroying the wish-granting ability of the Child God!"

“What’s wrong with protecting your only sister? Julian, no, he should be Darius Ainsworth by now, you old man… Keep your mouth shut, or I’ll flush your soul down the toilet and send you to the underworld.”

"You should have watched your mouth, kid. You know who I am and you still dare to spout such nonsense?!"

"Isn't he just a pervert who picked up a little girl in a cave centuries ago and wouldn't let go of her?"

Upon hearing Emiya's words, Darius's face immediately turned ashen, while Miss Aika's expression became quite intriguing; her clear blue eyes held a probing gaze as she looked at Darius.

"Emiya Shirou!!!"

Darius let out a ferocious growl, filled with hatred and killing intent comparable to the hatred of a father's murder or a wife's theft. Emiya picked at his ear, a subtle expression on his face, and said...

"Strictly speaking, I'm the victim. Why are you, you dog, acting like this? Do you want to overthrow the Heavenly Gang?"

"You scold again?!"

"Aminos!!"

Darius, his eyes bloodshot, unleashed a torrent of profanities, charging forward like a wild beast out of control.

"You've really asked for your own death."

An excited smile appeared on Shirou's face. He had just acquired dozens of sword techniques, and this old man had volunteered to be his punching bag.

"I'll fucking return! I'll return! I'll return!"

"Nameless Triple Thrust! Tooth Thrust! Pig Thrust Fierce Advance!!"

All sorts of deadly swords are at Emiya's disposal, and he doesn't even need any projection magic swords or holy swords. With his current swordsmanship, he would be a strong candidate to compete for the title of the world's greatest swordsman in a world like One Piece. What's wrong with crushing a dog that has been lingering on for hundreds of years with his swordsmanship?

At first, this bastard thought he could rely on his magic and special defensive Noble Phantasm to fight him, but when he realized that Emiya didn't use any ranged attacks and was only focused on quick attacks and Iaijutsu, not giving him a chance to use his substitution magic, he couldn't help but want to curse.

The Ainsworths are not a prestigious family; they have spent thousands of years honing only one magic trick, called "Displacement."

It can be said to be the most basic of the basics.

Magic tricks such as enhancement magic, projection magic, and magic bullets are considered essential introductory courses for most magicians.

Of course, magic bullets and enhancement magic are considered to be relatively versatile magics, and many people have devoted their energy to these two. As for projection magic, it can be described as the most useless of the useless, and displacement magic is actually not much better than projection magic.

The Ainsworth family, who have devoted all their energy to the fundamental magic of substitution magic over a thousand years, are undoubtedly a family with a screw loose. Although they have elevated the concept of substitution to a level close to the conceptual level, once the conditions for using substitution magic are lost, this family becomes incredibly stupid in battle.

Aside from using formal attire, the only option is to clash with Emiya using fist techniques.

But boxing techniques?

It's not that Emiya looks down on Darius. Although his fist techniques are not as superb as his swordsmanship, they are not inferior either. Which swordsman hasn't practiced fist and leg techniques?

Even if he threw away the sword in his hand right now, he could still beat this bastard in front of him until he cried out with a single punch and a circle.

Grabbing his 'old classmate' by the hair, Mr. Emiya, like a bully targeting a fellow student, wore a cold smile and repeatedly slapped the 'classmate' across the face with one hand.

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ········

"I gave you a chance, but you were useless! I gave you a chance, but you were useless! You old pig-dog, what right do you have to bark at me? I haven't even settled the score with you for almost tearing my house down. Julian, that bastard, still had some decency. When I wished to destroy Miyu's wish-granting machine, he didn't pursue the matter further and let me go... Although I might have had a chance of winning against you back then, Julian still did me some favor. You shameless old pig-dog, you used his body, and now you dare to bark at me?"

"Don't you know how to write the word 'death'?"

He slammed him hard into the ground, and Emiya unleashed the Merciful Hero's Beam skill at the nearby old pig-dog, swiftly slicing apart the several soul entities within the body.

. ..... ...

Unexpectedly, not cutting it would have been fine, but cutting it resulted in cutting out another thing in one go.

A twisted mass of flesh, resembling a worm, was utterly repulsive.

"Holy crap, you old pig-dog, you've got this wretched thing lurking inside you?"

What is this piece of meat?

Miss Aika seemed to be able to see souls directly, and immediately inquired about the origin of this thing with some curiosity.

"In the 10th century BC, a magician died, and the familiars within his corpse seized his body and power. Starting from the Western calendar era, they cultivated a large number of 'mages' as a secret family line."

"At a certain point in the future, one of the familiars will send a signal to all the familiars hidden within the bodies of these secret lineage inheritors from the past era, causing one destruction after another to disrupt the history of the old humanity at different times."

"After the entire history of humankind has been riddled with holes, we will burn all of human history, past, present and future, with fire as fuel to return to the distant primordial universe."

"This thing is one of those familiars, one of the seventy-two demon pillars of Solomon, one of those dogs that stole Solomon's body. It's not much different from Darius Ainsworth, that old pig-dog who stole the bodies of dozens of generations of his descendants. They're all beasts."

"Now that it has appeared in the Ainsworth family line, if nothing unexpected happens... that plan has already begun."

"So, big brother, what do you plan to do? Become the savior of this world?"

"That depends on whether people are reasonable and sensible." (8.)

Chapter 230: If you don't work hard to be a demon god, you'll be brothers in the Human Emperor's Banner.

The souls of the Demon Pillar and Darius were placed into separate containers for imprisoning souls.

In the past, I sealed my soul directly within my body without any problems. However, if I needed to seal multiple souls, it would be quite troublesome.

All of these... this Emperor's Banner, Mr. Emiya also managed to get one, but currently it only has a room that can accommodate one hundred souls, which is enough for now.

Now that he had sealed the one-piece Demon God Pillar inside, Mr. Emiya couldn't help but think of the remaining seventy-one Demon God Pillars. These seventy-two Demon God Pillars were like family, and now, because of him, they had been separated. Mr. Emiya felt sorry for them and thought that when the opportunity came in the future, he should bring all seventy-two Demon God Pillars back to his banner to continue being brothers.

Earth is unwilling to hand over its planet to you as firewood, so brothers, we'll grant your wish and find you some barren planets to burn however you like in the future.

Good!

That's so kind!

Investing in such dreams? Even Wang Duoyu isn't as generous as his brothers!

"Long time no see, old classmate."

Having dealt with Darius and the Demon Pillar, the suppressed and subdued younger brother resurfaced. Julian, still sporting a sour face, gave Emiya a gloomy glance.

"Don't expect me to thank you for Darius's matter."

"You're still as sharp-tongued as ever."

"Ah."

The brat sneered, stood up, dusted himself off, and, not intending to pay any more attention to Emiya, prepared to leave.

"Oh, right, I've been studying soul repair techniques in other places for the past two years. I can now repair damaged souls completely, and I also have a girlfriend named Aozaki Touko."

Fuck your mother!!!

Julian's foot, which was about to leave, suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move an inch. This bastard was implying... no, it was practically an explicit statement, wasn't it?

Did he know what had happened at the Ainsworth family's house?

That year in Fuyuki City, due to the disaster caused by the Fourth Holy Grail War, his sister, father, and childhood friend all died in the disaster. Although he later used certain spells to recall a part of their spirits and fix them on the doll, their souls were left with only one-tenth of their incomplete humanity. Apart from a small part of their obsession, they were almost unable to communicate at all.

But now, this person is telling me that he has the technology to repair souls...

and also,

Aozaki Touko

A child prodigy once famous in the Clock Tower, a puppeteer given the name of the three primary colors "red".

Is this bastard telling him that he, Shirou Emiya, has the ability to revive the Ainsworth family?

Julian clenched his fist, and the foot he was about to take finally landed, pointing towards Emiya. He stared at Emiya with a sinister expression and spoke.

"What do you need me to do?"

"What do you mean, 'what are you doing'? Old classmate, I don't understand."

"Stop playing tricks, Shirou Emiya, what do you want?"

"Does this sound like you're asking an old classmate for a favor? You still think of yourself as the student council president?"

"...Emiya-kun..."

Julian grinned through gritted teeth, a stiff and ferocious smile that looked far more menacing than his usual cold demeanor.

"Forget it, stop laughing. Your laughter is actually quite creepy."

Emiya waved his hand and sighed. Julian's expression twisted even more, and he wanted nothing more than to rush up and fight Emiya, but thinking of his family, he forcibly suppressed his anger.

"I can help heal the souls of your family members if you meet three conditions."

"You said."

"First, the souls I save will inevitably be bound by me, and it will be only natural for them to serve me then."

"……Can."

"Second, Ainsworth must continue to invest in the research of class cards, and find a way to research the special classes in addition to the seven regular classes."

"it is good."

"Third, you always gave me the cold shoulder when we were in school. Go back and practice how a normal person smiles. Also, you ate my bento seventy-five times in school and never said thank you. Here's what we'll do: for the next seventy-five days, you have to go to that newly opened spicy udon ramen shop in Fuyuki City and order an extra-spicy Mapo Udon..."

Extra Spicy Mapo Udon...

Upon hearing the name, Julian instinctively wanted to run away. He was the type who couldn't handle spicy food, and this guy actually wanted him to order some kind of extra spicy Mapo Udon.

How vicious, how utterly merciless!

Do you accept it or not?

Emiya watched the rascal with a smile. Back then, Emiya Shirou was still the same Emiya Shirou, always having nowhere to vent his kindness, making lunchboxes for this rascal every day, but the other didn't appreciate it. Now that he had the chance, he had to let him experience the kindness from his 'new classmate'...

"it is good."

Almost through gritted teeth, Julian squeezed out a syllable from between his teeth.

[Mood value from Julian Ainsworth +23]

[Emotional value from Ayaka Sajō +33]

[Emotional value from Avalon le Fay +13]

Almost simultaneously, Emiya noticed the arrival of three emotion points. He turned his head slightly and couldn't help but glance at Aika, who had a charming smile like an angel.

This is definitely not a sad emotion value. This Miss Aika is more excited than Julian, the victim... probably because of what the other party is going through at this moment.

Has he become cunning and ruthless?

Moreover, Avalon le Fay…

Is it really that "梣"?

Mr. Emiya couldn't help but frown. The Rain Witch... no, she should be called the Savior Ash shouldn't exist on the regular Throne of Heroes' Record Tapes, and she hasn't appeared in this era either.

Even if the concept of time does not exist in Valhalla, it is possible for heroic spirits from the future to appear.
