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

Shirou responded calmly.

Sarah expressed doubt about Shirou's words because, during the few days she had been practicing archery with him, she had come to a profound understanding of what kind of person Shirou truly was.

The opponent's grasp of the environment and crises is beyond imagination. Rather than a genius, he is more like a born hunter, able to judge the enemy's movements in any environment.

Sarah initially thought the other woman's archery accuracy was exceptional, but now she has come to completely acknowledge that she far surpasses her as an archer.

On every level, Sarah is far inferior to Shirou.

After realizing this, Sarah was no longer as hostile to Shirou as before.

Because she could realize that Shirou's exaggerated experience and coping abilities meant that he was definitely not some pampered young nobleman, but rather someone like her who had grown up in the forest and matured through real combat.

This made Sarah inexplicably curious about Shirou's past, wondering why he, despite having the noble surname Grellat, lived like a commoner.

That's why Sarah has recently started to occasionally take the initiative to try and chat with Shirou.

However, due to her proud and aloof personality, she was too embarrassed to ask directly, which led Shirou to believe that she still disliked him.

"Susanna said that once we reach our destination, we will hold a celebration banquet and she has invited you to attend."

Sarah relays Susanna's words to Shirou.

"Yes, I will participate."

Shirou nodded. He had a good impression of the [CounterArrow] adventurer party, so he was naturally willing to participate in this celebratory ceremony.

Sarah saw him nod, but instead of leaving, she stood silently beside him and asked, "Shirou, you're an adventurer, aren't you?"

"That's right, he's a C-rank adventurer."

"..."

Sarah looked speechless, unsure of what to say in response to Shirou's self-proclaimed C-rank adventurer.

After spending time with him, she felt that Shirou, putting aside everything else, was skilled in archery alone enough to qualify him as an A-rank, or even an S-rank, adventurer.

Sarah's skills, despite being a B-rank adventurer, are like child's acrobatics compared to Shirou's.

She felt bad about this, but she still continued, "Since you're also an adventurer, why don't you join an adventurer's party?"

Sarah's words were both veiled and direct.

They practically have my intention to invite you to join written all over their faces.

Even Shirou could understand what the other person was saying, and for a moment he showed a slightly surprised expression, before silently replying, "I am indeed an adventurer, but I still have a goal to achieve right now."

"Target?"

Are you aware of the Great Transfer of the Fituia Territory?

“I’ve heard of it.”

The Great Transfer of the Fituia Territory was famous throughout the Kingdom of Asra. Sarah and her adventurer companions came from the Kingdom of Asra, so naturally they had heard of it.

"I used to live in the territory of Fituia."

Shirou spoke quietly, "The Great Transfer at that time affected many people, and I also lost my important family members because of it. I have been searching for them all these years, and the only reason I became an adventurer is for this."

"..."

Shirou's words silenced Sarah.

She finally understood why Shirou, a nobleman with the surname Grellat, behaved just like an ordinary commoner like her.

Although her imagination undoubtedly contained a lot of conjecture, it was largely accurate.

Having learned of Shirou's purpose, Sarah naturally couldn't bring herself to invite him to join the adventurer's party any longer, and turned to leave silently.

Shirou assumed that Sarah's invitation was at the behest of Susanna and the others, so he didn't think much of it.

Once the sun had fully risen, the caravan resumed its journey.

Since Shirou had already demonstrated his strength, the CounterArrow squad simply asked him to cooperate in eliminating the monsters that appeared along the way.

With Shirou's involvement, the dangers encountered by the caravan immediately decreased.

Because Shirou not only has extensive experience fighting monsters, but he also possesses the Mystic Eyes, which allow him to detect monsters' movements from a great distance.

For this, both the adventurer's party and Bruno, the caravan owner, were very grateful to Shirou.

Bruno even said that he would give Shirou a generous reward after they arrived in town.

Shirou doesn't care about the reward; he simply wants to help the adventurers.

He also took the opportunity to teach Sarah how to shoot arrows, and although Sarah herself seemed very unwilling, Shirou didn't care.

"I never expected that you could even take down someone as difficult as Sarah."

During a break in the caravan, Susanna came over and spoke with a look of deep emotion.

"No way."

Shirou shook his head at this. "Sarah probably still hates me."

"Is that what you think?"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Susanna showed a surprised expression.

"if not?"

Shirou asked a counter-question.

Susanna couldn't help but smile strangely, then patted Shirou's shoulder hard and said quietly, "You really don't know your place, Shirou, but that's probably part of your charm as a young man."

"What charm..."

Shirou couldn't understand Susanna's words.

Susanna couldn't help but sigh, and bluntly said, "Well, that's Sarah's personality. If I don't point it out, she might never say anything. Actually, Sarah..."

"Susanna!"

Suddenly, a blonde girl carrying a bow and arrows rushed over from a distance.

She seemed to have overheard their conversation from afar, and now, unable to wait any longer, she rushed over like a rabbit.

"??"

Shirou was puzzled, but Sarah quickly stepped between the two and forced Susanna to stop talking with a look in her eyes.

"Alright alright."

Seeing Sarah's reaction, Susanna could only shake her head silently.

But then she suddenly remembered something interesting and asked Shirou, "By the way, has Sarah invited you to join our adventurer party these past few days?"

"This……"

Shirou nodded in response to Susanna's words.

"That was Sarah's own idea. We didn't really expect a true genius like Shirou to join our team."

Susanna winked at Shirou, as if to say, "I've done all I can to help."

Susanna said they hadn't invited her, and that it was all Sarah's own idea.

why?

Upon hearing Susanna's words, Shirou was stunned.

He then instinctively looked at Sarah, only to find that the girl's cheeks were as red as rotten apples, and he could even see clear smoke above her head, clearly indicating that she had completely collapsed due to her excessive shame.

By this point, even someone as oblivious as Shirou realized that he might have misunderstood Sarah's opinion of him.

Sarah might not hate herself?

Shirou instinctively felt a sense of absurdity.

He wanted to confirm with Sarah, but found that the girl had fled without looking back, as if avoiding him.

For the rest of the journey, Sarah did not wander freely around the caravan as she had in the past, searching for any monsters that might appear. Instead, she walked alone at the very back of the caravan, without making a sound.

Shirou didn't understand what had happened to the other person, and he couldn't bring himself to bother them.

The adventurers, however, saw through this but kept quiet, simply smiling and watching the young people's progress.

As all this was happening, signs of monsters suddenly appeared on the caravan's path.

Because of his clairvoyance, Shirou immediately recognized that it was a herd of Rasta bears.

The individual Rasta Bear is classified as Rank B in the Monster Tier.

In the northern lands, this is one of the most common monsters.

Shirou only saw about twenty Rasta bears, which wasn't dangerous, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but he did inform Susanna and the others in advance.

Susanna and the others then prepared to deal with the monsters.

Unexpectedly, just as the caravan was about to collide with the monsters, a group of pitch-black Rasta bears suddenly crawled out of the mud.

The number is close to one hundred!

Shirou noticed it immediately, but it was too late.

Covered in mud, the Rasta bear blended perfectly into its environment and, taking advantage of its location, approached the caravan directly.

Susanna and the others were completely panicked, never expecting to encounter such a catastrophic disaster at this final moment!

Chapter 288 Sarah in Trouble, Shirou Faces a Horde of Monsters!

Sarah walked alone at the rear of the caravan, carrying her bow and arrows. Her feelings were incredibly complicated, and her gaze was unfocused, unsure of where to look.

Susanna's words had filled her with overwhelming shame, to the point that she dared not have any contact with Shirou.

"Absolutely terrible."

This statement wasn't directed at Susanna and Shirou, but at herself.

Sarah was so angry at her previous shamelessness that her face was now flushed.

Just how bewitched I was back then, that I actually took the initiative to invite Shirou to join their adventurer party.

Even though Susanna and the others had already made it clear that someone as talented as Shirou couldn't possibly join an adventurer's team of their caliber, Sarah wasn't satisfied with the outcome. She still extended a cryptic invitation to Shirou, which, unsurprisingly, was rejected.

how to say.

When Sarah heard Shirou's rejection, even though she knew his reasons were valid, she still felt deeply disappointed and even resentful.

Why are you unwilling to join?

Joining their team is definitely a better option than going on an adventure alone.

Sarah knew that CounterArrow wasn't a particularly strong adventurer party and held no appeal for someone with Shirou's immense potential.

However, despite knowing this in her heart, Sarah still felt incredibly disappointed when Shirou actually refused.

"..."

It was at this moment that Sarah realized that her mind was filled with the idea of ​​getting Shirou to join the adventurer's party, and she was completely obsessed with him.

Why should I care so much about that kind of guy?

Don't you dislike the other person?

Could it be that I don't actually dislike Shirou?

"No, no!"

No, that's not how it could be.

I simply felt that the other person was very capable, so I just wanted to get them to join the team to strengthen [CounterArrow].

That's right, I just really appreciate that guy's skills and acknowledge his level as an archer.

Moreover, besides his archery skills, Shirou clearly has many other talents. He not only has extremely keen observation skills, but also knows intermediate-level magic, and may even have more abilities that he is unaware of.

"Yes, that must be it..."

Shirou is of noble birth. Although there are not many noble qualities about him, his noble status is the key point.

Sarah dislikes the self-important young nobleman who thinks he's an adventurer, and she also dislikes the nobility themselves.

Her hometown perished because of the laziness of the nobility, and her parents died because of it.

Even now, Sarah cannot forget the despair she felt back then, so she undoubtedly hates nobles and Shirou, who has a noble surname.

However, Sarah's heart remained wavering.
