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

Is he trying to accuse himself of winning unfairly?

While Shirou hesitated, Atofi slowly spoke:

"Don't feel embarrassed. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. In fact, I've felt the characteristics of humanity for a long time, especially my husband. He has shown me through his actions what it means to be powerful as a human being."

"They were initially a weak race; when I led my army to attack, they immediately scattered and fled. However, the situation gradually changed. By the time I noticed, the quality of their members, their weapons, and their armor had all changed. Their fighting style was the same. They would either fight in formation, or engage in guerrilla warfare, or set up ambushes in the mountains, or blockades on the riverbanks..."

"In this way, humanity gradually became stronger. Whether it was the Sword God School or the Northern God School, humanity was always able to learn and inherit more powerful skills, and also to master techniques that other races could not master through thinking and imitation, and through external objects."

Atofi spoke with a nostalgic and wistful expression, then looked at Shirou curiously: "That weapon in your hand, did you make it yourself?"

"..."

Upon hearing Atofi's words, Shirou hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It wasn't me. It was made by a blacksmith named Muramasa."

Shirou didn't want Emiya and Muramasa's identities to overlap in any way. If someone investigated him in the future, they might conclude that Emiya and Muramasa were the same person, which would cause considerable trouble.

"Muramasa... I've heard of him before. So that's the guy. Amazing, incredible, he's truly amazing!"

After learning that the Golden Sword of Victory was forged by Muramasa, Atofi became inexplicably excited. "Humans are indeed a group of powerful beings. The dragons, whom my father struggled to defeat, have been defeated by the insignificant humans to this state. So, I lost, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. Emiya, you can now proclaim to the world that you defeated the immortal demon king Atofi and call yourself a human hero."

"Brave..."

Shirou clearly didn't care much about such an abstract title.

His only goal in coming here was to rescue Rachel Rudd.

Atofi seemed to sense that Shirou didn't care about the title of hero, so he smiled and said, "As a condition for victory, you can make any request of me. Even if it's just to become your subordinate and be at your beck and call, that's fine. This is compensation for the Demon King's defeat."

“In that case, I hope you will release that Spelud over there.”

Shirou had no ulterior motives; he was neither greedy for wealth nor fame, and naturally allowed the Demon King to achieve his original goal.

“Interesting, you are quite interesting, Hero Emiya. Fine, I will release Deadend.”

Atofi was quite nonchalant; without even asking Shirou why he wanted to release Rigel, he simply ordered his men to free Rigel from his restraints.

Next, Atofi announced once again that the human Shirou had won the title of Hero, and even had his subordinates spread the news, saying that it must be spread throughout the whole world.

Afterwards, Atofi stated that the Immortal Demon King's castle would welcome Emiya's arrival in the future, and he could come and go as he pleased, as a symbol of their friendship.

They even hoped that Shirou would stay at the Demon King's Castle that very night and hold a grand banquet.

Shirou clearly couldn't stay there any longer.

The Heroic Spirit form doesn't last long and can dissipate at any time. Moreover, Shirou doesn't understand why this Demon King, who was an opponent one moment, becomes a good friend the next.

Is this the prevailing attitude of the demon race?

Despite the incomprehensible situation, Shirou ultimately rejected all of Atofi's kindness and hurriedly left the Demon King's castle.

……

After Shirou deactivated his Heroic Spirit form, he immediately returned to Lycaris Town and called Alice, who hadn't slept all night, to leave the town.

Alice doesn't understand why Shirou suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.

But she had no intention of asking.

She silently followed Shirou away.

Because of Shirou's previous act of single-handedly destroying the Adventurers' Guild, no demon in the entire town of Ricaris dared to provoke him, and the horse-headed man Nokbara was so frightened by him that he ran away immediately.

Shirou didn't actually have many complaints about Nocbara.

After leaving the town, Shirou waited patiently on the road to the Demon King's castle. Soon he saw Rigel arrive with Captain Mur, the captain of the royal guard.

"Rigid Rudd!"

Alice showed an excited expression the moment she saw Rijkaard.

But Rachel Rudd said with a look of embarrassment, "I'm sorry."

Rigdell clearly knew that what he did would hurt Shirou and Alice, but he did it willingly anyway, though he has now apologized.

Shirou and Alice naturally didn't blame each other and quickly made up.

Next, Alice learned everything that had happened from Rijrud.

She was undoubtedly surprised by Rigd's words, because she vividly remembered that she had also been rescued by that mysterious man named Emiya.

Alice was initially excited to find that the other person was also in the Demon Continent, but then suddenly became extremely depressed.

Alice suddenly realized that she was far too weak and had not yet reached the level of growth that Emiya had set for her.

Lost in their own complex thoughts, the group left the town of Licaris and embarked on their journey to a new city.

The next morning, when Shirou and Alice woke up, they were surprised to find that Rigel had become bald.

"After this incident, I realized that most people are afraid of my hair."

As Rajirud spoke, he covered the red gem on his forehead with his headband. He had made up his mind to hide his Spelud identity. "Next time we go to the next town, I plan to get a new weapon. I'll try not to use this trident as much as possible."

"In that case, I'll forge a weapon for you, Rijkaard."

Shirou had long intended to build weapons for Rigel, and immediately spoke up.

"Shirou, you can forge weapons?"

Rachel Rudd was surprised.

Alice, on the other hand, remained quite calm, because she had once received a black key forged by Shirou as a gift.

Shirou didn't say anything more, but began to think about what kind of weapon he should forge for Rigdl.

Several reliable ideas had flashed through his mind, and he finally made a decision to forge the anti-magic spear for the Heroic Spirit Diarmuid for Rijrud!

The Demon-Slaying Spear, whose full name is the Demon-Slaying Crimson Rose.

The weapon was wielded by the Heroic Spirit Diarmuid. Originally, it consisted of two pistols, one of which was the Spear of Destruction. It possessed a unique effect: it could penetrate any defense made of magical energy and even nullify unfinished magic.

Shirou himself does not have any memory of this Noble Phantasm, but there is indeed a record of this weapon in the armory of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

In this world full of magic, the significance of the Demon-Slaying Spear is self-evident; it would be an extremely useful weapon.

As Shirou conceived the forging of a new weapon and embarked on his journey, news of his victory over the immortal demon king Atofi, as the Heroic Spirit Emiya, continued to spread over time.

Its fame gradually spread not only throughout the entire Demon Continent, but also to the whole world.

The name "Hero Emiya" is known to countless people and has attracted the attention of the strong!

Chapter 201 Ariel: If we can have both Emiya and Muramasa at the same time, great things can be accomplished!

Kingdom of Asura.

King's capital.

Almost a year has passed since the great transfer of the Fituia territory, which was managed by the Boreas family.

Over the course of that year, the entire kingdom underwent tremendous changes.

A large number of nobles and commoners were affected by this sudden disaster, some losing family members, others becoming homeless, and still others falling into hardship...

Although the Boreas family, the lords of the Fituia territory, were not greatly affected, the day before the Great Transfer, all members of the Boreas family and the servants in the castle coincidentally left the territory to participate in activities in other territories.

However, the lord's survival did not mean that the territory was safe. In fact, only the lord's family survived, while most of the people in the territory suffered serious losses. This gave other nobles an excuse and means to attack the Boreas family.

No matter how hard the Boreas family worked in the disaster relief efforts afterward, even going so far as to take care of every resident of their territory and send out teams to search for those who had been scattered around the world during the Great Escape, all sides remained hostile towards Boreas. Even the residents of their own territory had their own complaints about the Boreas family.

After all, compared to ordinary civilians, the Bereas clan was so well preserved that it was hard not to suspect that there might be some kind of conspiracy involved.

Some even speculate that the Great Transfer itself was orchestrated by the Boreas family.

The only thing that could silence the gossip was the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Boreas family.

Yes, like most commoners, Alice, the eldest daughter of the Boreas family, also unfortunately disappeared during the transfer incident and could not be found.

Despite the Boreas family's desperate search, they could not find any trace of the other party.

Ironically, this tragic outcome reduced the hostility and exclusion of the Boreas family among most people, who viewed them as fellow victims of the same disaster.

Of course, regardless of the circumstances, someone must take responsibility for the impact of this incident.

Even if the great migration has no warning signs, and even if it cannot be prevented in advance, it is still the same.

After all, people died this time, and countless people lost their families, loved ones, friends, and even the fields and crops that could have been harvested from them disappeared, causing incalculable losses.

People desperately need an outlet, an object to which they can vent their emotions.

As a result, the Boreas family naturally became the first to be held accountable by the Kingdom of Asura.

It's like a country where, whenever a problem occurs, an official in a certain position always has to step down or resign. People don't care whether the official is the direct culprit behind the incident or not, but they still have to be held accountable, otherwise they can't vent their anger.

The same applies to this incident in the territory of Fituia.

Regardless of whether the Boreas family was directly responsible for this incident, all that is needed is for them to designate one person to take full responsibility and be accountable for the countless deaths.

In this situation, Saurosberias Grerat, as the lord of the Fituia territory, naturally could not escape.

Of course, the reason for such a swift response was also due to the power struggle among the nobles.

The Bereas family already had significant conflicts with other nobles, and with such a good opportunity, countless nobles naturally seized the chance to force them to surrender.

With Sauros dead, the remaining members of Boreas will be unable to cause any more trouble.

This was undoubtedly the proposal of the high-ranking minister Darius.

Therefore, with Darius's encouragement, it was only natural that Sauros was sentenced and even executed.

However, Sauros did not die, the direct cause of which was undoubtedly the counterattack by the Boreas family.

Philip, as the son of Sauros, used almost all of his connections and abilities to do everything in his power to keep Sauros alive.

Of course, no matter how capable Philip may be, it is difficult for someone without real power and influence to affect the kingdom's decisions.

The direct reason why Sauros survived was because of the intervention of Princess Ariel.

Thanks to Ariel's intervention, Sauros's death sentence was commuted to a suspended sentence, meaning he would have to wait at least five to six years before being executed.

Ariel's reasoning was that the death of Sauros would shake the power balance of the four great families, causing an imbalance in their power and resulting in one side becoming dominant.

Although the reason was fabricated on the spot, it was adopted by the current king because it did make some sense.

Even Darius at that moment could not directly refute the king's order.

Soros's execution was thus postponed, and he did not die immediately.

Ariel did this undoubtedly to repay Shirou and the Boreas family, and at the same time, to curry favor with the blacksmith Muramasa.

Although both Shirou and Muramasa have disappeared due to the Great Transfer, it is difficult to guarantee that they are still alive.

But Ariel firmly believed they were still alive, so she did everything she could, even at the cost of Darius's displeasure, to protect the Boreas family.

As a consequence, Ariel was assassinated several times by assassins sent by Darius in the years that followed.

But she survived.

This was not only because Ariel herself was cautious enough, but also because she had gained an excellent subordinate.

That person's name was Fitz, a magician who fell from the sky.

After acquiring her, Ariel replaced the original guardian sorcerer Dirich with Fizz, because Dirich died protecting Ariel during the unexpected events of the Great Transfer.

As for Fitz, his strength far surpasses that of Dirichlet, and he saved Ariel from danger several times.

His reputation was extremely high in the capital.

Of course, we'll leave Fitz's situation aside for now.

Ariel realized that she could no longer stay in the capital after provoking Darius. She knew she might have to move to another country to avoid trouble and build up her strength.

Just as she was making this decision, she heard the rumors about the Hero Emiya.

Legend has it that a human named Emiya single-handedly stormed the palace of the immortal demon king Atofi, fought Atofi for three hundred rounds, successfully defeated the demon king, and earned the title of hero.

Since no human had received the title of Hero for hundreds of years, Emiya's deeds spread at an extremely rapid pace.

Countless people admire and are curious about who this being named Emiya really is.

Most people are very concerned and curious about this.

Darius, upon hearing the news, was so frightened that he fled back to his mansion in public and did not leave for several months afterward.

This indirectly gave Ariel the opportunity to escape the Kingdom of Asura.

"Emiya... Could he be the assassin who tried to kill Darius back then?"

Ariel still remembered that a few years ago, someone had attempted to assassinate Darius in the capital and even escaped from the hands of the current water goddess, Lydia.
