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

Because the father and son had always had a good relationship, Luke chose to plead with Ariel.

Ariel then allowed Piemont to live, but from then on he would have virtually no chance to participate in the kingdom's politics.

James, the current head of the Boreas family, also submitted to Ariel and took the initiative to apologize to her father, Sholos, hoping to gain Sholos's forgiveness.

However, compared to Luke and Pilemon, the father-son relationship between James and Shores was clearly less harmonious.

Shros refused to see James, refusing to have any connection with him.

Left with no other option, James went to see his brother Philip, but Philip was even more outrageous than Saulos, and ordered his men to throw James out.

Without receiving forgiveness from the Boreas family, James was almost certainly put on trial by Ariel's faction and imprisoned.

Soros thus regained his position as head of the family of Boreas.

However, after this incident, Sauros became much more silent than before. He no longer had the motivation to participate in political struggles, nor the energy to fight with others. He directly chose to give up his position as head of the family, retire and return to his hometown, the Fituia territory, which is still under reconstruction, and devote all his energy to the reconstruction work of the Fituia territory.

When Shoros relinquished his position as head of the family, the position of head of the Boreas family naturally needed to be taken over by someone else.

After discussing it for a long time, the family concluded that only two people were suitable to inherit the position of head of the Boreas family.

One is Philip, and the other is Alice.

Faced with these two candidates, most of the Bereas clan members didn't hesitate and felt that Philip was the obvious choice to become the head of the family.

It's not that they look down on Alice.

After all, Alice has now become a Sword King, with strength on par with Kyrie Irwin, so she can't be underestimated no matter what.

The problem is that Alice's personality is really not cut out to be the head of the family. If she were to become the head of the Boreas family, she would probably lead the entire family into a mess the very next day.

Alice herself had a clear understanding of this fact, and she directly rejected the inheritance of the family headship.

However, Philip offered a different opinion.

He didn't think Alice was suitable to be the head of the Boreas family, but rather that this was a great opportunity for Shirou to marry into the Boreas family.

Philip believed that Alice was not suitable to be the head of the family, but Shirou was clearly suitable.

If Alice and Shirou were to marry, Shirou could assume the role of head of the Boreas family, and everything would fall into place.

Faced with Philip's audacious idea, the Bereas family members had differing opinions. Some thought it was good, while others thought it was too outrageous, and many more felt that they needed to see what Shirou thought.

During the years Shirou spent with the Boreas family, he could be said to have completely integrated into the family.

The Boreas family all approve of him and regard him as a true member of the family. However, because of this, they will not force Shirou to do anything and hope that Shirou can make the choice he feels in his heart.

Of course, since Shirou is to make a choice, we need to tell him about this first.

After several days of internal discussion, the Boreas family decided to have Alice propose to Shirou. They would find out if Shirou agreed.

Unexpectedly, things turned out this way after all the twists and turns, and Alice was undoubtedly the most distressed one.

Unfortunately, the rest of the Boreas family were eager to see more drama unfold.

Her father, Philip, prepared a complete set of dresses, flowers, and even a wedding ring for her. Her mother, Hilda, also shared with Alice many of her experiences and techniques for accepting Philip's proposal, including some details about their sex life at night, which made Alice blush and feel dizzy.

Sauros, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. He simply offered Alice encouragement and told her that some opportunities only come once in a lifetime, and once missed, they will never be available again.

Hearing what Sauros said, Alice finally made up her mind.

She first sought out Girenau and calmed herself down by sparring with him in swordsmanship. Then, with the expectations and encouragement of her family, she embarked on her journey to propose.

……

While the Boreas family was having a lively time, Shirou was in a blacksmith shop in the royal capital, meeting with the old blacksmith who had taught him forging techniques.

When the Great Transfer occurred, Shirou specifically arranged for the old blacksmith to leave the territory of Boreas, allowing him to avoid the turmoil of the Great Transfer.

Later, the old blacksmith also became involved in the internal struggles of the Boreas family, staying in the capital to provide support to Philip and forge various weapons.

Upon arriving in the capital and learning that the other party was still alive, Shirou did not hesitate to come and meet him.

It had been a long time since they last met, and both Shirou and the old blacksmith had changed a lot, but they still talked to each other as if everything was normal.

Shirou described to the old blacksmith how, during the Great Transfer, he forged the Holy Sword for the Holy Kingdom of Milis under the identity of Muramasa, went to the Magic University, used the power of magicians to forge a distant ideal world, and even gained the approval of the Ankylosaurus King, who praised his forging skills...

Upon hearing Shirou's description, the old blacksmith showed great excitement and expressed his regret that he had not been able to witness those legendary events firsthand.

Shirou then smiled and said that when he forged the next weapon, he would definitely show it to the other party.

The two chatted casually and also exchanged forging techniques.

Although Shirou's forging skills have reached an indescribable level, he is still too young and lacks experience. The old blacksmith, on the other hand, has honed his skills over the years, making them increasingly sophisticated and inspiring Shirou greatly.

During their conversation, the old blacksmith suddenly mentioned something.

"When Lord Philip was in crisis, a man dressed in a long black robe suddenly appeared and solved the urgent problem for Lord Philip, and provided a lot of support. But that man always concealed his appearance and did not let anyone know what he looked like, which was very strange."

The old blacksmith spoke quietly, "He even came all the way to meet me and exchange some forging techniques with me. That man's forging skills were amazing, and I felt that he was even on par with you. But I have never heard of such a skilled blacksmith in the world."

"To conceal one's appearance?"

Upon hearing the old blacksmith's words, Shirou's first reaction was to assume that the man was the Dragon God, Orsteed.

Because of the curse that would make him hated by everyone in the world, Alsted usually doesn't let anyone see his true appearance to avoid causing a sensation, which is consistent with the old blacksmith's account.

But Shirou had never heard of Orsteed possessing forging skills, and he found it even more difficult to imagine that Orsteed would be a forger who was no less skilled than himself.

He then pressed the old blacksmith for more information about the dark-skinned man.

But the old blacksmith couldn't describe it any further, saying that for some reason, the man left a very faint impression, and one could easily forget about him if not careful.

Shirou became increasingly concerned about this, but he was unable to investigate it.

After finishing his conversation with the old blacksmith, Shirou returned to the inn where the Grellard family lived, only to find it empty. The family had taken the opportunity to travel around the royal capital.

After all, apart from Paul, most of the Grerat family members had never been to the capital and were full of curiosity about this most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Asra.

Although Paul was tired of the city, he still had to stay close by as part of his security duties.

Shirou was left alone in his room, enjoying the long-lost peace.

It can be said that with the end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Asura, Shirou found himself in a long-awaited state of peace and tranquility, without any particular goal.

Now the entire Grellat family has been found. Although Senis has contracted a strange illness, there may be a way to cure her if she continues to work hard.

Ariel has already achieved the other party's goal and is ready to inherit the throne at any time, becoming the Queen of the Kingdom of Asura.

The problems of the Boreas family were also resolved, and Sauros was released from prison safely.

Even the Dragon God Orsteed, whom Shirou was most wary of, no longer seemed to regard him as an enemy, judging from his attitude when they met before.

With the title of one of the Seven Great Powers, ordinary people no longer dared to pose any threat to him, let alone do anything to the Grerat family.

In this way, Shirou suddenly realized that he had accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish in this world, that he no longer had any enemies, and that he no longer needed to endure pressure and pain.

He accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish, fulfilling the regrets he couldn't achieve in his previous life.

"Did I do that?"

Shirou stared at his hands, momentarily unable to accept this reality.

Did I really do everything?

Does this mean I don't need to work harder anymore?

But why do I always feel like there's something about it that I can't accept...?

Feeling lost and dejected, Shirou couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed in a daze, spending an unprecedentedly free day until he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dream, he returned to that white space.

"Hi."

The long-lost mosaic smile of the god appeared before Shirou.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Because of what has happened, Shirou no longer feels as averse to gods and humans as he used to. He faces them directly with an open attitude and sits down opposite them on the ground.

The two looked at each other like old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

"We haven't seen each other since you went to the continent of Becalit, have we?"

"Yes, you advised me not to go to the continent of Becallit, saying that I would definitely regret it if I went, but it turned out that nothing happened afterward."

"Well, who knows about such things?"

"Wasn't it your suggestion? Why don't you know?"

Shirou felt inexplicably wary of the attitudes of the gods and humans.

"Perhaps it's because my advice didn't work on you."

The god spoke with a hint of helplessness, "I can see some bad things happening, but that's only for ordinary people. For someone like Shirou who has unimaginable initiative, it's normal that my advice is ineffective."

"Is that so? Then why did you make that suggestion to the water goddess, making her serve Darius?"

"Because that was the water goddess's destiny, the best choice for her. In the end, my advice wasn't wrong, was it? She has already had the most wonderful life."

"This……"

Shirou hesitated for a moment, then thought that the idea of ​​a god being a human wasn't wrong.

Now the water god no longer interferes in the politics of the Asura Kingdom, focusing entirely on swordsmanship, and has also repaid Darius's kindness.

Although the process was full of twists and turns, the life of the water god can indeed be described as very fulfilling.

But he couldn't help but ask again, "What about the Dragon God? He desperately tried to kill the apostle of the God of Man, and even said that the God of Man's suggestions were all malicious."

"That's slander! How can you believe the words of such an evil person!"

"But he didn't show any hostility towards me this time."

"That's just to lower your guard, don't fall for it!"

"..."

The gods seemed quite displeased with the topic of the dragon god, and showed obvious anger whenever the dragon god was mentioned.

Shirou still can't tell whether the human god or the dragon god is right, but he doesn't want to get involved in these troublesome matters.

For him, it's enough to protect the people who are most important to him.

Shirou then continued to chat with the god about ordinary topics. Compared to the past when they only discussed the Dragon God, Shirou was now willing to talk about some different things with the god.

This may also be because after he had accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish and felt that his life was fulfilled, he developed a kind of open-mindedness and even lowered his guard against such extraordinary beings as gods and humans.

And so, Shirou and the god chatted for the entire night.

The god did not have any dissatisfaction with Shirou giving up the fight against the dragon god. He magnanimously stated that as long as Shirou could live a happy life, he, as a god, would be very satisfied.

Faced with such an attitude from the gods, Shirou really didn't know what to say. He felt that everything was going too smoothly, but he couldn't find any fault with it.

After an unknown amount of time, Shirou woke up from his dream.

He looked out at the night sky and noticed that the rest of the Grerat family seemed to have already returned, and the doors were all properly closed.

Shirou then silently went to the window, gazed at the moonlight, and pondered what he should do in the future.

To become stronger, one must continue to become stronger.

Without motivation, Shirou finds it hard to imagine that he can still put in 120% of his energy and dedicate all his time to becoming stronger, just like he used to.

Perhaps he could also dream of other things, living an ordinary life, even marrying someone and starting a family...

Alternatively, he could join Qixing in researching magic to travel to another world, searching for a way back to his original world and finding his sister, Miyu.

There were just too many choices; Shirou had never felt that time was such a luxury.

Just then, Shirou suddenly noticed a letter tucked under the door. He opened it and found that it was from Ariel.

The other party invited me to the palace as a guest and said that they had something important to tell me.

Shirou naturally wouldn't refuse such an invitation, but he couldn't immediately guess what the important matter Ariel mentioned could be, and a sense of anticipation silently arose in his heart.

He glanced at the time and realized it was just the right time to meet Ariel, so he put on his coat, put on his longsword, and prepared to go out.

"Is it this cold at night in Asura?"

Upon opening the door, Shirou couldn't help but tremble.

He then went to close the door to the room, but suddenly felt a moment of disorientation.

"Ok?"

Shirou checked the room again carefully and confirmed that no one was in the room, suspecting that he had just been too nervous.
