Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

Otherwise, if Ariel, as a mere second princess, were to participate in the current Muramasa auction, no matter how wealthy she was, she would have no chance of competing with the top powerful figures from all over the world.

The status of famous swords and knives is truly incredible.

After learning that this was a replica of the legendary Holy Sword and Demon Sword, Shirou relaxed somewhat. He picked up the longsword in front of him while recalling the legend of the Holy Sword and Demon Sword.

Legend has it that Julian Jalisco, the world's strongest demon blacksmith, once issued a commission, sending adventurers to hunt down the Dragon King of the Dragon King Mountains, and using the Dragon King's bones to forge forty-eight holy swords and demonic swords.

Each of these weapons is imbued with overwhelming magical power. Their sharpness and the strength of their blades are extraordinary, making them the supreme existence among weapons. Some even say that they are just a hair's breadth away from reaching the realm of divine swords.

Since their emergence, these forty-eight holy and demonic swords have attracted countless people to fight over them. In the end, with the intervention of the Sword God School, most of the famous swords were taken away by the Sword God and distributed to the disciples of the Sword God School who had emerged. Only a few ended up in other places and changed hands constantly.

The weapon Alice bought was a replica, far inferior in quality to the genuine one.

Even so, an unimaginable surge of energy still rushed towards me.

Shirou could almost feel through this replica the exuberance and unbridled spirit of Julian Jalisco as he forged the weapon.

That was an absolutely extraordinary blacksmith.

Just by looking at a replica, Shirou couldn't help but make this judgment.

Considering that Julian Jalisco is a demon and might still be alive, Shirou couldn't help but feel interested in talking and sparring with a blacksmith of that caliber.

But that kind of thing is obviously too far off.

Shirou is more concerned about the weapon in front of him right now.

"Is this just a replica?"

"Yes, this is a replica of the Demon Sword [Finger Breaker] made by Julian Jalisco. The original Demon Sword [Finger Breaker]'s effect is absolute concentration of battle aura. It is said that the sharp battle aura can even pierce the skin of the Dragon God. Of course, this is just a legend. In any case, since it is a replica, the effect of this sword is naturally a weakened version. It is impossible for it to pierce the skin of the Dragon God. At most, it can only further concentrate battle aura."

The butler gave an introduction.

Shirou nodded slightly. As a seasoned blacksmith, he could tell the effect of the weapon simply by observing the many patterns on its surface.

When battle qi is infused into it, it flows through numerous detailed textures and finally condenses into a single point, unleashing battle qi that is far sharper than usual.

He admired this design approach.

He truly deserves to be called the greatest blacksmith in history.

For this reason, Shirou was reluctant to give up such a famous sword and even had the urge to take it in.

Chapter 168 Shirou is going to marry Alice?

Faced with the gift that Alice presented to him on behalf of the Boreas family, Shirou hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should accept such a valuable weapon.

Normally, Shirou would never accept such an expensive gift.

For him, as long as the sentiment behind the gift is there, that's enough; there's no need to measure the sentiment by its actual value.

But the gift Alice gave this time was exactly what Tong had been longing for.

Although it is only a replica, it can be seen that the replica of the Demon Sword [Finger Fold] contains the blacksmith's meticulous research on the original and uses almost the best craftsmanship to restore all the characteristics of the original, even achieving a part of the forging skills of the god-level blacksmith Julian Jalisco.

Even Shirou greatly admires the methods by which ordinary people, through hard work and dedication, glimpse the divine realm.

Moreover, for Shirou, such a weapon might even be more valuable than the original Demon Sword [Fingerbreaker].

Because counterfeiters, with limited skills, strive to replicate all the details of the original, they can often more clearly feel the traces of craftsmanship within the replica.

These marks often represent the pinnacle of skill that an ordinary blacksmith can only depict in a lifetime, allowing learners to grasp the essence of the craft more clearly.

It is often easier to imitate pirated versions than to imitate genuine versions.

That's the specific reasoning behind it.

Shirou was somewhat embarrassed to speak up, yet he genuinely longed to obtain a replica of such a famous sword to study the forging techniques of the god-level blacksmith Julian Jalisco. He was caught in a dilemma, too shy to even ask.

Alice shoved a replica of the Demon Sword [Finger Breaker] into his hand, saying magnanimously, "Shirou, you're family now, what's there to be so polite about? I wasn't polite at all when I took the Black Key you gave me before."

"This……"

Shirou hesitated for a moment when he heard Alice's attitude, then nodded slightly.

He himself realized that he was being a bit pretentious.

Since you've already wholeheartedly considered the Boreas family as your own, there's no need to be polite to them. You just need to dedicate everything to protecting them in the future.

Moreover, Alice and Boreas must have put in a lot of effort to prepare this sword for me, so to refuse them at this time would be tantamount to ignoring their good intentions.

So Shirou accepted the replica of the Demon Sword [Finger Breaker] and once again deeply felt the unparalleled skill of the god-level blacksmith.

Simply by holding this replica in his hand, he instinctively felt a noticeable fluctuation in his fighting spirit.

Does this sword have a name?

Shirou gripped the sword, examining it closely, while also looking curiously at Alice.

"Name? Uh, does it have a name?"

Alice was clearly unaware of such details and couldn't help but look awkwardly at the butler, Alphonse, standing to the side.

Seeing this, Alphonse shook his head and replied, "The blacksmith who forged this weapon didn't name it. After all, it's a replica. He was probably ashamed to name it himself, afraid of tarnishing Julian Jalisco's reputation."

"I don't think there's any need to back down like this."

Shirou shook his head.

As a seasoned pirate creator, he didn't mind the act of counterfeiting weapons. On the contrary, he felt that it was a very profound and even cool thing to do to pursue the footsteps of geniuses and even gods with all his might and the blood of mortals.

The efforts of ordinary people are not necessarily unrecognizable, and this world is by no means just a stage for geniuses to dance freely.

When a person dedicates their entire life to accomplishing something, even if that thing seems incredibly foolish or meaningless to some talented individuals, for ordinary people who lack talent and innate ability, as long as they put in all their effort and use their own flesh and blood as the key to pursuing success, they may still be able to reach a higher peak.

Shirou silently paid tribute to the blacksmith who forged the replica of the Demon Sword [Finger Breaker], and slowly said, "Then let me name it. Since it is a replica of the Finger Breaker, let's call it [Finger Wind]. Although it is far from being as powerful as the original Demon Sword, it still has the ability to tear apart the invisible breeze."

Shirou chose a name according to his own wishes.

Although it's not exactly a grand or impressive name.

However, for counterfeit products, a name that perfectly captures their characteristics is sufficient.

"Not a bad name, Shirou. You might have a talent for naming weapons."

"That kind of talent is completely meaningless."

Shirou sighed helplessly at Alice's assessment.

Alice smiled and said, "Anyway, you should just obey. This is a gift from the Boreas family. Everyone in our family put a lot of thought into choosing it. It would be strange if Shirou, such a skilled swordsman, didn't have a good weapon."

The Boreas family was unaware that Shirou was actually the blacksmith Muramasa, nor did they know that Shirou had forged a golden sword of certain victory for himself.

Shirou couldn't possibly tell them these things.

So Shirou simply accepted the Demon Sword, Wind Breaker, and drew the sword from its sheath.

As expected, the tip of the demonic sword was engraved with many marks and patterns. These special patterns were interconnected, which gathered the injected battle energy in a peculiar way and could be released and burst out at an unimaginable speed.

Even without infusing it with battle aura, the demonic sword is quite tough. Its unique structure allows it to be swung out faster than ordinary weapons, making it very easy to use.

Shirou then said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you. Not only for the birthday party, but also for giving me something so expensive..."

"You don't need to worry about the price! Okay, let's get back to the party! Otherwise, the specially prepared food will get cold!"

Alice clearly disliked those long-winded clichés, and she didn't even bother to say anything extra. She led Shirou to the birthday table where a huge cake was placed.

There were also many dishes on the table, most of which looked quite ugly, but you could feel the care the makers had put into them.

"Yes, I did it."

Alice seemed to notice Shirou's gaze and turned her head away shyly. "I know you're a great cook, Shirou, but I thought I should make some for you myself..."

"Thank you."

Shirou smiled and patted Alice's head in response to her reaction.

He recalled the first time Miyu cooked for him. It wasn't very good either, but he could clearly feel the care she put into it, even without eating it.

In an instant, Shirou found it increasingly difficult to control his emotions. No matter how hard he tried to ignore it, he realized that he was treating Alice like his own little sister.

However, Shirou also developed a fear because of this.

That means that by treating Alice as a younger sister, he was essentially using her as a substitute for Miyu.

If Alice knew about this thought, she would probably hate me...

Shirou sighed helplessly, silently swallowing all his emotions, and earnestly began to enjoy the banquet prepared for him by the Boreas family.

Once the party started, Alice talked nonstop like a machine gun.

How was this dish made, and what happened when the magic sword was purchased?

Throughout Alice's narration, Shirou maintained a smile and listened quietly to her story.

The heartwarming scene between the two brought smiles to the faces of every member of the Boreas family, who were reluctant to disturb their peaceful time.

During the process, Shirou unexpectedly learned about the Grellard family.

It is said that the Grerat family originally wanted to come to Boreas to celebrate his birthday, but because the monsters in the forest of Buena Village have become active again for some reason, Paul was unable to leave his territory.

Although Senis also wanted to come, it is said that there was a time conflict because she had to process Rudeus's enrollment procedures for the magic university.

Shirou then realized that Rudeus was approaching the age Paul had suggested for attending magic university, and more importantly, his talent had become so outstanding that it could no longer be hidden and was now known to the world.

The Magic University has made a request, hoping that Rudeus will attend their university.

For this reason, Paul eventually relaxed the age limit for Rudius to leave home, allowing him to attend magic university at the age of ten.

I heard that Hilfi is also very interested in the Magic University, but because her talent is far behind Rudeus's, she plans to wait another two or three years before going.

Shirou was undoubtedly very happy to hear news from his family.

Although I really want to see them again after so long.

Shirou's thoughts were unconsciously revealed on his face.

His dejected attitude left Alice somewhat at a loss, and she stiffly tried to comfort him, "Uh... well... Shirou, it's just that..."

Alice seemed completely at a loss.

This is like a normally assertive cat showing signs of distress.

Seeing this, Shirou comforted him, saying, "It's alright, as long as I know my family is doing well, that's enough..."

Shirou's attempt to comfort them in the opposite direction caused many people present to show expressions of sadness.

Seeing this, Shirou wanted to say something to calm the atmosphere, but unexpectedly, Alice's mother, Hilda, suddenly ran over from a distance and hugged Shirou tightly.

"Um, what is it! Lady Hilda?!"

Shirou was thrown into confusion by the unexpected action of Mrs. Hilda.

He didn't talk to Mrs. Hilda very often, only occasionally conversing with this wife of Philip and mother of Alice, and knew her to be a taciturn but thoughtful woman.

She kept a close eye on the Bereas family's every move and was an excellent woman who could definitely be called a virtuous and capable wife.

Therefore, Shirou never imagined that Lady Hilda would be in such an emotional state.

To Shirou's surprise, after Hilda hugged him, she suddenly said, "Shirou, marry Alice! Yes! That's a great idea! Do it! That way you'll really be part of our family from now on!"

"What!?"

Hilda's words not only left Shirou speechless, but even Alice, who was standing next to him, looked confused.

Chapter 169 If you don't marry Shirou, then don't treat us like family!

Both Alice and Shirou were completely dumbfounded when Hilda said such a thing.

Lady Hilda, on the other hand, had a determined look on her face, as if she had made up her mind.

As Philip's wife, Hilda was naturally quite old, but she still looked pretty and like a young woman.

She has the same red hair as Alice, and is a beautiful young woman who exudes a widow's charm. What is most distinctive about her is her incredibly full and voluptuous breasts.

Shirou was currently being held in Hilda's arms, and he felt so soft that he almost couldn't breathe.

Of course, the most important thing is not how comfortable or uncomfortable Hilda's embrace is, but what Hilda just said.

Shirou, eager to break free from her embrace, asked, "Hilda? What did you just say? Are you sure you didn't misunderstand...?"

Shirou hoped that what Hilda had just said was just an unintentional remark.

The idea of ​​him marrying Alice is just too illogical.

Hilda seemed to have misunderstood Shirou's words. She felt that Shirou was still too insecure, so she quickly said, "It's alright, Shirou. You can rest assured. I will never let Alice bully you again! That's right, you are my child! Alice is the outsider!"

"Mother...Mother?"
