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

Shirow's response made Paul even angrier.

He was punched several times by Paul.

Finally, in utter desperation, he retaliated against Paul, pushing him away and then throwing a few punches at him.

Paul didn't say a word during the process, he just stared at him, seemingly very displeased, as if he were looking at some guy who couldn't understand human language.

Shirou was also quite helpless about this. He knew that his words were too weak and powerless to convince people.

But Shirou also knew he had no better choice.

He believed he had done enough. He was only human, not a god, and it was impossible for him to do everything perfectly.

Without realizing it, Shirou even recalled that guy called Hitokami.

He inexplicably began to wonder if things would have been different, or if things would have been better, had he listened to the advice of that so-called god.

Of course, this cowardly thought only lasted for a moment.

He immediately realized that he shouldn't let Paul's thoughts lead him by the nose, and that the drunken Paul wasn't necessarily the right person either.

"Stop it! Aaaaaah!"

Suddenly, a faint, sharp sound rang out from the side.

Shirou was stunned for a moment, then noticed a figure suddenly appear between him and Paul.

It was a young girl with features that resembled Paul's and blonde hair that resembled Senis's.

You can tell at a glance.

She is Noren, Noren Greirat.

Shirou's true younger sister in the strict sense.

Looking back, Shirou had only seen Noren when she was just born. So many years have passed, and he never imagined she would grow up so much.

Of course, most importantly, the current situation is clearly not a harmonious family reunion.

Neither Shiron nor Paul wanted Noren to see them in such a state.

But Noren did see it after all.

"stop it now!"

Norren, with his small frame, intervened in the fight, staring wide-eyed at Shirou, "Don't bully Daddy!"

"..."

Noren's words left Shirou completely bewildered.

Who's bullying whom right now?

It's obvious that he got beaten up by Paul.

However, she is, after all, a little girl, and it is only natural that she would instinctively protect her father.

Shirou did not get angry.

But he has already been completely traumatized.

Paul's questioning voice was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart. Shirou no longer had the strength to distinguish right from wrong.

"Feel sorry."

Shirou sincerely apologized to Norren.

Even though this wasn't just his problem, he knew he shouldn't let his young sister Noren bear all of this.

"……what?"

Upon hearing Shirou's candid words, Noren immediately looked bewildered.

At the same time, Shirou also silently stood up, looked at Paul, and looked at the members of the investigation team. He knew that everyone here had done better than him over the years, and their efforts were far more useful than his.

So he apologized to them one by one, saying, "Thank you. It is because of your efforts that the impact of the disaster on the Fituia territory has been reduced to such a small extent."

"Shirou..."

Paul was bewildered by Shirou's sudden sincerity, but he still hadn't recovered and angrily retorted, "Now that you understand, why don't you come with us to find the others? Do you really think that Alice is more important than your family?!"

"I don't think so."

"In that case..."

"But it is at least of the same level of importance."

Shirou took a deep breath and finally sorted out his thoughts. "I can go with you, Paul, to look for her, but at least after we get Alice home."

"You bastard, you care more about an outsider than your real family!"

“True family? Paul, what exactly do you mean by family? Is it blood relation? But I have never had a blood relation with you, Paul.”

"This……"

Shiro's words finally left Paul speechless.

The man's mind, which had been clouded by alcohol, had now calmed down somewhat, and he realized what Shirou might be thinking about.

But he still refused to accept reality, looking at Shirou indifferently.

Shirou also looked back at him indifferently.

The two could not convince each other, and because of Noren's appearance, they could no longer determine a winner through fighting.

Under such circumstances, this bizarre standoff became an unavoidable reality.

"Enough! If you remain obstinate, then I'll disown you as my son! I've never considered you a member of my family!!"

In a fit of extreme anger, Paul uttered words fueled by rage.

“It’s okay. Even if you don’t consider me family, Paul, I will go to see Senis and the others after this is all over.”

Shiro silently responded to Paul's words.

He has gradually sorted out his thoughts and realized the choice he made.

He wanted to get Alice home first, and then set off to find Senis and the others.

Of course, doing so might be a wrong choice.

His family members may suffer because of his mistakes, but he cannot change it, because he has already made his choice and has already embarked on his journey.

"You bastard, Shirou, you bastard!"

Paul spoke up angrily, but because Noren was right next to him, he couldn't intervene.

Seeing Paul's appearance and Shirou's calm and resolute attitude, Norren and the rest of the investigation team more or less understood who was right and who was wrong in this matter.

They therefore admonished Paul as much as possible.

Shirou, however, knew that it was inappropriate for him to be present at this time, as it would only cause Paul's emotions to spiral further out of control.

Most importantly, the recent battle caused the toxins in his body to show signs of getting out of control, and now he can even feel dizzy when he takes a step.

"Are you... are you alright, big brother...?"

Of all those present, only Norn noticed Shirou's condition.

Her gaze was clear, and even though she didn't know the boy in front of her was her brother, she instinctively looked at him with concern.

"fine."

Shirou smiled in response to Norren's attitude, but his heart was pounding inside.

Paul's questioning voice still echoed in his ears.

He realized that if he chose Alice, it would mean temporarily abandoning Norman and his other family members.

This is something he finds difficult to accept easily.

After all, Norlen is also his sister, someone he should protect.

"..."

With mixed thoughts, Shirou walked away from where he stood with difficulty.

With each step he took, he was further affected by the toxins in his body and the guilt in his heart, and his steps became increasingly disordered.

……

After leaving Paul's stronghold, Shirou continued on his original course, heading towards the church of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

He tried his best to avoid letting the previous meetings with his family upset him.

Having shaken off those shadows, Shirou, dragging his slightly weary body, arrived at the cathedral of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

The headquarters of the cult is a striking golden building with onions hanging from its roof.

The Holy Kingdom of Milis is based on tranquility, and as far as the eye can see, it is all white and silver.

In such a country, this building stands out as the only one that is so glittering and extravagant, with an appearance as clown-like as a clownish one. Not to mention the onions placed on top, which are of such low taste that they are, frankly, completely out of place.

Shirou intended to enter directly, but was unexpectedly stopped by the guards who said he needed a pass.

He made a few inquiries and learned that this was to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering at will, and that the process of obtaining a pass often took several days.

Shirou frowned slightly at the shockingly low efficiency.

But he had no choice but to submit the application temporarily and then leave the cathedral.

However, Shirou did not give up.

The Holy Kingdom of Milis is not a settlement of orcs. There are a great many priests and mages here, and you might be able to find someone who knows antidote spells just by looking around.

That way, Shirou wouldn't need to go to the official priest.

With that in mind, Shirou first went to the Adventurers' Guild, only to find that the guild was unusually tense, with everyone talking about a person named Shinji.

After making a few inquiries, Shirou learned that the divine child of the Holy Kingdom of Milis had recently gone missing.

The Knights Templar went on a frantic search, and even the Adventurers' Guild was flooded with requests for their services.

Because all the requests were tied to this highest priority request, Shirou was unable to issue normal requests for antidote spells.

Faced with this sudden event, Shirou was bewildered, but not entirely helpless.

Because he only needs to find the Divine Child on his own to restore the Adventurers' Guild to normal and allow it to issue normal quests.

Moreover, by finding the divine child, they might be able to directly gain the support of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.

With this in mind, Shirou accepted the request and confirmed the appearance of the goddess through it.

It is said that the Divine Child is a young girl, about ten years old, who is guarded by a knight of the Temple Knights. However, both of them went missing half a day ago in the forest around Milison.

After obtaining the information, Shirou promptly activated his clairvoyance.

Yes, as long as the relevant information is obtained and the target is not far away, long-range vision will be an excellent tool for searching for missing persons.

As expected, as soon as Shirou activated his Clairvoyance, he quickly spotted a pair of figures matching the description and discovered that the two seemed to be in some kind of danger.

Chapter 222 Oh my, this person is a Sword Saint! We are no match for him!

Using his clairvoyance, Shirou easily located the divine child mentioned in the Adventurers' Guild's request, as well as the temple knights who protected the divine child.

The two seemed to be being chased. After escaping from the broken carriage, they fled into the depths of the forest, but were unable to shake off their pursuers.

Seeing this, Shirou realized that he could not afford to waste any more time.

He took a short breath, suppressing the fatigue from his battle with Paul, and then rushed straight out of the Adventurers' Guild, plunging into the forest surrounding Milison.

The forests surrounding Milison are typical magical energy radiation fields, so they are teeming with monsters, including many that are not commonly found in the forests of Buena Village.

For example, this was the first time Shirou had ever seen a demi-humanoid monster like a goblin.

However, although they are rare, they are just ordinary monsters, and Shirou can wipe them all out with ease.

Along the way, Shirou even encountered some novice adventurers.

He would never disturb the adventurers' battles under normal circumstances, and he would be careful not to interfere with the young people's growth opportunities.

But because the situation was urgent, he charged straight into the depths of the forest, killing almost every monster he encountered with a single strike!

Because Shirou's movements were so exaggerated, many adventurers couldn't even see the details clearly before discovering that the monsters they were fighting were destroyed.

Gradually, urban legends began to circulate among the adventurers of Milicion.

It is said that the ghost of a swordsman wanders the forest, slaying monsters.
