Incidentally, since reconciling with Shirow, Paul has recovered from his daily drunkenness. He not only stopped drinking heavily but also tried his best to be energetic every day, returning to his former self.

He clearly wanted to make a good impression on Shirou.

Shiro decided not to disturb Paul's work and planned to discuss further details with him after he finished.

Because of this, Shirou figured he had nothing better to do than cook dinner for the research team.

He also invited Alice and Ridge Rudd to come over for dinner.

After finally escaping from the hustle and bustle and the crisis, it's definitely time to have a lively meal together.

Shirou made his way to the kitchen, and upon opening the door, he unexpectedly saw a figure he had never seen before.

The blonde girl, Noren, was carefully tidying things up in the kitchen. Although she was not even five years old, she seemed to have already learned to be independent and planned to do what she could to help the investigation team.

This scene made Shirou recall his past self.

Back then, it was because of Kiritsugu Emiya's unreliable and perpetually drunken behavior that I learned to be independent early on and took on all the household chores.

Seeing Noren following the same old path, Shirou lamented Paul's unreliability while also stepping forward to try and help.

"do not come!!!"

However, Shirou's help did not seem to be accepted.

When Shirou approached, Noren looked startled, then immediately glared at him fiercely, as if he were a dangerous individual.

Shirou froze on the spot, but he quickly realized that to Noren, he was not someone close to him, but a stranger who had just appeared.

Most importantly, Noren witnessed his fight with Paul.

Young children cannot comprehend the complex entanglements between adults; they simply believe that Shirow is a bad person who is an enemy of Paul.

Therefore, it is natural to instinctively show vigilance at this moment.

"I'm sorry, if you're scared, I won't come."

Shirou knew he couldn't force anything at this point, so he quickly took a step back, leaving enough space between himself and Norn.

After seeing Noren's attitude gradually calm down, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know how to get closer to his sister.

Left with no other choice, Shirou could only pretend that Noren didn't exist and start cooking with the kitchen tools himself.

Shirou's culinary skills have been further honed through this journey to the Demon Continent.

After incorporating the unique culinary knowledge of the Demon Continent, he can now cook without being limited by ingredients and tools. Even with the worst ingredients and tools, he can still make delicious dishes.

The tavern where the investigation team was located had a stable source of ingredients, so Shirou was able to put his full effort into cooking, which was something he hadn't done in a long time. He even felt like he had finally taken off his shackles and his skills had been elevated.

"..."

While he was fully absorbed in the cooking process, Noren stayed by his side, watching his actions with a puzzled expression.

From Noren's perspective, Shirou is an older brother who suddenly appears and brings her a lot of pressure.

He was a person who had only been mentioned in snippets of conversation by his father, Paul.

According to Paul's description, Noren learned what an outstanding person the other party was.

Not only Shirou, but also his older brother Rudeus.

Paul would occasionally mention it to her, telling her how outstanding her two brothers were.

Under such a long-term conceptual sway, Norn naturally and instinctively believed that Shirou was a very serious and extremely talented individual.

Such an existence is like a star in the sky, something you can admire but can never reach.

At least when he first met Shirou, Norn did indeed feel an instinctive tension and felt immense pressure when facing Shirou.

However, what's amazing is that my excellent older brother is actually cooking here.

Moreover, judging from the other person's actions, it wasn't a sudden whim, but rather a genuine display of high culinary skill.

This completely shattered his expectations, giving Noren a strange feeling, and the oppression he had felt gradually dissipated and melted away.

She even became completely absorbed in watching Shirou cook.

……

evening.

After Paul finished discussing further investigations into the missing persons in the Fituia territory with the investigation team, the team members finally ended their meeting, exhausted.

As a result, when they came out of the conference room, they smelled an almost indescribable fragrance.

That was a fragrance rarely smelled in the holy country of Milis, which advocated vegetarianism and fasting.

"It smells so good! Which restaurant is going all out?"

Vera, from the investigation team, spoke with confusion.

The other members also looked bewildered, and many of them couldn't help but drool at the smell of the aroma.

Paul, however, was stunned at first upon smelling the aroma, then suddenly remembered something and exclaimed with great joy, "It must be Shirou making dinner for us! Oh my, after all these years, I never thought I would be able to eat Shirou's cooking again. Just to have a bite of it, I would be willing to die right now!"

"So exaggerated?"

Vera and the other members of the investigation team all looked incredulous.

Most importantly, they simply didn't believe Shirou could cook.

After all, Shirou was such a powerful swordsman; they simply couldn't connect him with an excellent chef.

However, reality soon revealed the truth to them.

Shirou brought out all the dishes he had personally prepared and set up a large table in the center of the tavern to treat everyone.

"Your meeting is over? Perfect timing, I've finished making dinner, everyone hurry and eat while it's hot."

"This……"

Seeing Shirou's incredibly skillful handling of the plate, the members of the research team undoubtedly showed expressions of confusion.

Most importantly, they discovered that Shirou's dishes were not only incredibly fragrant, but also visually appealing.

Over the years, Shirou's cooking has become more and more in line with the tastes of people around the world.

Currently, it even incorporates different cuisines from all over the world, from the folk dishes of the Kingdom of Asura to the flavors of the Demon Continent, as well as special seafood dishes from major ports, and even vegetarian meals from the Holy Kingdom of Milis...

Such a complete culinary feast is something many people have never even dreamed of.

In a state of extreme chaos, where they even thought it was a dream, the members of the investigation team got to work.

In an instant, everyone was captivated by the dish!

"It's so delicious! I've never eaten anything so good in my life!"

After taking a bite, Vera spoke up immediately.

Her sister, Shera, didn't even have time to speak, and just kept stuffing food into her stomach.

The other members were the same; they were so overwhelmed by the food that they didn't even have time to speak.

"What?! Are we late?!"

Alice and Rigdell walked in from outside.

After receiving Shirou's contact, they rushed over immediately, but to their surprise, they were still a step too late and found that everyone else had already started eating.

Without saying a word, the two of them immediately started showing off the dinner Shirou had made.

"Everyone, eat slowly. I'll make more if you're not full."

Shirou smiled upon seeing this.

Seeing people enjoy their meals always brings him immense happiness.

Of course, the truly fortunate ones are the members of this investigation team, who have been wandering in foreign lands since the Great Transfer and have not returned to the Kingdom of Asura for a long time.

Shirou's cooking is now filled with the flavors and traces of the Kingdom of Asura, which naturally makes many members miss their hometown. Some even get teary-eyed while eating.

Many people then asked Shirou if he could cook a similar meal for the people in the refugee camp.

Shirou agreed.

It was only then that Shirou learned that Paul and his crew were currently focused on sending the refugees from the Fetoa territory they had found around the world back to the Kingdom of Asura in one fell swoop.

This was a very difficult matter, but Paul did not want to ask Shiron for help; he intended to solve everything on his own.

Shiro understood Paul's thoughts and did not interfere.

But at least the food will be made for everyone in the refugee camp as much as possible.

He kept busy in the kitchen, and was so tired that he almost couldn't hold on several times.

It was around this time that he often found a water glass filled with water on his seat, and he didn't know who had put it there.

He initially thought it was Paul or someone in the investigation team, but one day, he unexpectedly saw Noren's little head emerge from the corner of the kitchen, and that's when he learned the truth.

Chapter 237 You fat pig dare to provoke Master Muramasa?

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

After cooking for the refugees affected by the relocation of the Fituia territory, Shirou prepared to embark on his long journey.

Paul came to see him off as he, Alice, and Ridge Rudd prepared to board the carriage and embark on their journey.

"Shirou, goodbye. I don't know when we'll meet again."

Paul hugged Noren, a look of regret on his face.

"Don't worry, we'll definitely meet again, and so will Norren."

As Shirou spoke, he smiled at Norren.

Whether the girl still harbored resentment towards him or was simply shy, she buried her face directly in Paul's arms.

Meanwhile, Alice, standing next to Shirou, was glaring fiercely at Paul.

On the day Shirou and Paul argued, Alice clearly also developed a bad attitude towards Paul.

Even today, they haven't forgiven each other.

Shiron and Paul both gave wry smiles.

The two could only pretend not to care and continue saying goodbye.

"So, Shirou, you're going to send Alice back to the Kingdom of Asura, right?"

Paul's expression turned serious, and he suddenly brought up a serious topic.

"Yes, we have to go back."

Shirou spoke silently, having made up his mind.

"The territory of Fituia has now completely disappeared, and the Boreas family must be deeply mired in the vortex now."

Paul said with a complicated expression, "If we take Ellie back, we might encounter unexpected dangers."

"But even so, I will still take Alice home."

"Is that so? You've already made up your mind, so I won't say anything more."

Seeing Shirou's resolute attitude, Paul nodded silently. "The only thing I want to say is that after you send Alice home, I hope you can go to the northern region of the Kingdom of Asura to search for her. That is one of the areas that the research team has not been able to set foot in so far."

"The northern region of the Kingdom of Asura? I remember that's where it is?"

"Yes, that's where the three great magical nations are located. If Rudy were still alive, he should be at the La Noah Magic University in the three great magical nations right now. He should be there."

"Rudeus..."

Recalling the image of his younger brother that he had seen with his clairvoyance, Shirou nodded slightly. He knew that Rudeus must have encountered some trouble to be in such a depressed state.

Not only to find his family who might be there, but also to help Rudeus, he needs to travel to the three great magical kingdoms north of the Kingdom of Asura.

Of course, before that, he first needed to send Alice back to the Kingdom of Asura.

"By the way, Lord Rajirud is from the Spelud race, isn't he?"

Paul suddenly looked at Rijkaard, "The demons are still ostracized in the Holy Kingdom of Milis. If you want to cross the sea, you will most likely be harassed by the guards. Please be sure to take precautions."

"Yes, I have a way to handle this."

Rachel Luther nodded silently and took out a letter.

Shirou looked at the envelope and saw a familiar name: Jargardnashvik.

The leader of the Knights of the Order whom Shirou had previously met at the church.
