Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

Emiya Shirou nearly crashed into the glass door, but luckily Yu Meiren reacted quickly: "Are you blind?"

The second update is here. Thank you for your understanding, readers. I will make up for the missing words later!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: I'll Support You with My Electric Scooter

The world where the Empire is located gives Shirou Emiya a very strange feeling.

This is a political system similar to ancient China, but its technology tree is quite peculiar.

The average level of the army was at the level before World War I. It was still mainly armed with cold weapons, but had already developed firearms. It had entered the electrical age, but had not yet undergone the Industrial Revolution. The civilians were still mainly engaged in handicrafts. Technological weapons and bio-technology surpassed modern technology.

Overall, while the Empire is somewhat similar to ancient China, there is a superpower called the Kingdom in the west of this planet that rivals the Empire.

Therefore, the system can be considered medieval feudal, and the technology is in its infancy, but a small part of it is very advanced.

Yu Meiren irritably avoided the passersby around her. Some of them looked at her with lewd eyes, which made Yu Meiren want to gouge out all their eyes.

I don't know what came over me, why did I have to agree to come out with Shirou!

Emiya Shirou, who was walking ahead, didn't dare to walk too fast, for fear of losing Yu Meiren. The two walked and stopped frequently, and what should have been a ten-minute journey took them nearly twenty minutes.

Especially ahead, something unknown attracted a large crowd, with shouts and curses frequently emanating from the crowd.

"What are they doing?" Yu Meiren asked curiously.

"Let me see."

Emiya Shirou's current height is almost approaching that of the Heroic Spirit Emiya; he can be seen clearly with just a slight step.

In the center of the crowd were several imperial officers, each holding a criminal in their arms.

These criminals looked miserable; all of them were missing limbs, some even had their eyes and ears gone, and others had no nose.

One of the officers pointed at the criminals and said, "See? They are the remnants of the revolutionary army! They tried to destroy the peace and tranquility of our empire! Now this is their fate!"

After speaking, several officers drew their swords and beheaded all the revolutionaries. Their heads rolled to the feet of the onlookers, and the blood gushing from the severed blood vessels in their necks instantly stained the officers' uniforms and faces, making them look like demons.

Exclamations erupted from the crowd once again, and the group scattered like birds and beasts, soon leaving only Emiya Shirou and Yu Meiren.

Yu Meiren felt nauseous as she smelled the long-lost stench of blood in the air.

She despised bloodsucking. As an elf, she only needed to absorb the energy of plants and animals; bloodsucking was too low-level for her.

But there are always blind people who think she's a vampire.

To be honest, even if I starve to death, I'll only drink my own blood!

Unless Shirou gives me his drink.

Emiya Shirou noticed Yu Meiren's micro-expression and said, "Let's go, let's find a tavern near where we're going and ask around."

"What do you want to know?"

"Partners of justice, a place to execute justice." Shirou Emiya suddenly smiled and pointed to a tavern where he saw two very familiar figures.

One of the brown-haired boys was chatting happily with a blonde, outgoing older sister.

While drinking heartily, the blonde beauty told Tatsumi some interesting stories about the capital, which made the simple-minded boy, who originally wanted to make a name for himself in the capital, even more excited. He couldn't wait to join the imperial army and become a ranger, and then send back to his village with a generous reward.

Following Shirou Emiya's gaze, Yu Meiren also saw Tatsumi and couldn't help but say, "That kid can really eat! I remember he ate five sandwiches by himself this morning."

"Have you forgotten how much Artoria can eat?" Emiya Shirou reminded Yu Meiren, "When it comes to eating, the Saber King is second to none."

"Ah... I remember it very clearly. The first time she came, she ate two large plates of potatoes, and the second time she ate thirty hamburgers and twenty servings of fried chicken. What's wrong with her stomach?" Yu Meiren has lived for thousands of years, and has been conscious for over a thousand years. She has never seen anyone who can eat more than Artoria. It's simply outrageous.

Emiya Shirou laughed, "That's a four-dimensional stomach comparable to Doraemon's. I think she could actually eat a whole cow. Let's go into the tavern and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he pretended to slow down his pace, as if he was thinking about something. Yu Meiren, unaware of this, walked to a position next to him and stood right next to him.

Then, Shirou Emiya's hand "accidentally" touched Yu Meiren's hand at just the right moment.

The moment the hand touched Yu Meiren, she withdrew it.

He pulled back again, looking at Shirou Emiya suspiciously: "What do you want to do?"

"Ah, what did I do?" Shirou Emiya quickly withdrew his hand, looking as if he hadn't done anything. "I didn't do anything!"

Yu Meiren frowned and carefully examined Emiya Shirou's expression, but found nothing unusual. She glared at him and said, "Then let's go!"

"Oh, okay!" Emiya Shirou couldn't help but feel discouraged. Damn it, isn't that how it always is in the anime? You can successfully hold hands with your crush by just pretending to touch them a few times, right?

It was all a lie!

Oh well, there's plenty of time. Besides, Yu Meiren probably doesn't understand what holding hands means. I'll get my way eventually!

Emiya Shirou wasn't unwilling to be forceful; he adopted the demeanor of a domineering restaurant owner, gripping Yu Meiren's hand tightly and refusing to let go.

The reality simply doesn't allow it; if Yu Meiren were to unleash her fury, even the Heroic Spirit Emiya would have to kneel before her.

After the two entered the tavern, they casually found an empty table and sat down. In their line of sight, they could see the face of the blond man with large breasts and Tatsumi's back.

The bartender walked up to the two men and asked, "What would you two like to eat?" He then handed them a menu.

Emiya Shirou took the menu, emmmm, okay, I can't understand a single word.

He handed the menu back to the bartender and said, "Give us both a juice, please?"

This was the first time the bartender had ever heard of someone ordering juice at their bar, but he nodded nonetheless: "What kind of juice would you like, sir?"

"Anything is fine, apples, watermelons, papayas, cantaloupes, grapes, tangerines, oranges."

"Then let's have watermelon. Please wait a moment, both of you."

At another table, when she heard Tatsumi lamenting how to get ahead after being kicked out of the local military camp, the blonde woman exclaimed in surprise, "Hahahaha, young man, you don't know this, do you? In the capital, if you want to do good things, the most crucial thing is to rely on two things!"

Tatsumi asked sullenly, "What is it?"

"Money and connections!" the blonde, outspoken woman said, holding up two fingers. "I happen to know a big shot in the local military. As long as the money's there, anything can be negotiated!"

Tatsumi's eyes immediately lit up with renewed hope and fighting spirit: "Oh!! Is this enough money?!"

After saying that, the boy took out a large, heavy-looking money bag from his backpack: "Is this enough for me to get into the army and make a name for myself?"

The blonde older sister's smile widened even more as soon as she saw the large bag of money: "That's enough! This money might just make you a squad leader!"

She took the heavy money bag, stood up, and smiled, "Young man, don't move from here. I'll go find someone I know to reserve your place. The squad leader will definitely save one for you!"

Hehehe, you're so lucky to have met me, your big sister! I'll teach you many things you could never have learned in the village!

"Oh, oh, oh!! Thank you so much, big sister! I'll wait for you here!"

Emiya Shirou felt this was fate. According to the original timeline, Tatsumi and Shishi should have met at noon, but it was already evening, yet they still met again.

It seems Tatsumi and Night Raid really have a tragic fate.

Yu Meiren suddenly said, "This kid, he's been tricked, hasn't he? Should we help him?"

Emiya Shirou smiled wryly: "No, it's not the right time yet. He needs to experience the cruelty of the capital first."

"What's so cruel?"

"It is the filth, bloodshed, darkness, and corruption behind the capital that he can grow by deeply understanding this."

Yu Meiren pointed at Tatsumi, who was still waiting innocently for Leone's return, and asked suspiciously, "Can this kid really understand? And after being swindled out of so much money, shouldn't he have realized the wickedness of people?"

"This is nothing. It's just a pity he came to our restaurant at such a bad time. If he had run into us as soon as he left the village..."

Because his back was to the two of them, Tatsumi had no idea that someone was secretly watching him. He remained sitting in his seat, waiting for Leone to return and tell him the good news.

He grinned foolishly at the thought that he could become a squad leader immediately with this bag of money, rise above others, reach the pinnacle of life, earn enough money to buy an entire village, and then receive praise from his childhood sweetheart and the admiration of everyone in the village.

"Hehehe! When I return to the village with my army, Sayo and Ieyasu will definitely admire me a lot! The village chief will also think I'm amazing!"

And so they waited until late at night, when the tavern was about to close.

Yu Meiren idly fiddled with the straw in her cup, while the tavern owner banged on his bar and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, that's all for today. We're closing up shop!"

Tatsumi immediately panicked and said, "Ahhh! Boss, please wait a moment! I'm waiting for someone!"

"What are you waiting for, young man? You've obviously been scammed! Honestly, who would hand over their money to a stranger after just a few words? You didn't just fall for her because she's big-breasted and pretty, did you?"

This is the capital city, after all. I haven't met someone as innocent as you in years. Are you from the countryside?

"Huh? Do I really look like a country bumpkin?" Tatsumi was about to cry.

"Indeed, after staying in the capital for a while, you can tell the difference between outsiders from the countryside and locals at a glance. Come on, young man, let's find a hotel to rest."

"No way! That woman cheated me out of money, I'm going to sue her!"

Tatsumi was about to cry from anger. This was the reward he had earned from fighting bandits and defeating dangerous creatures along the way. Without this money, he would have nothing left after paying for drinks and food. Was he going to have to sleep on the streets?

"Sigh, it's no use. No one will care even if you sue. This is the capital city."

"How could this happen?!"

In the end, Tatsumi left the tavern dejectedly, while Shirou Emiya and Yu Meiren also paid their bill and left.

Looking at Tatsumi, who was squatting helplessly at the foot of a streetlamp with his knees drawn up to his chest, Yu Meiren asked, "What do we do now? Should we go up and say hello to him?"

"No need, it's about to start." Emiya Shirou gestured for Yu Meiren to look at the other end of the road, where a black, luxurious carriage was speeding towards them.

As it passed by Tatsumi, it slowly came to a stop, and a lovely noblewoman jumped out of the carriage.

After exchanging a few words with Tatsumi, she led him into a carriage and drove away.

"What is this? Did we meet a kind person?"

Yu Meiren asked, puzzled, "Should we follow them? We've gone too far."

"Of course, watch me! I am the bone of my sword!"

The two walked to a dark spot, and Shirou Emiya's entire body began to surge with red and blue magical energy. As the incantation ended, a vehicle appeared before them—

"What is this?" Yu Meiren asked.

“A little motorcycle, huh?” Emiya Shirou answered instantly.

"But this is not the same motorcycle I've seen in movies and games."

Emiya Shirou stroked his chin, gazing at the electric scooter with its light blue body, brown and dark brown seats, lost in thought.

He bought this electric scooter from Japan through Amazon in his past life.

Because this is Ishtar's beloved little motorcycle, which she uses to travel the world!

Fortunately, he placed the order quickly. When it was pointed out that the electric scooter that Rin rode was among the big orders, the store reportedly sold out of this little motorcycle in just a few hours.

The Japanese Masterclass is terrifying.

Later, he rode this little motorcycle to and from school, and even gave rides to his juniors and seniors. Then one morning, he discovered that she had been stolen.

He fondly touched the little motorcycle he once loved, then plopped down on it, making sure to leave a small space behind him, just big enough for a girl to sit in.

Then Shirou Emiya started the motorcycle and patted the seat behind him: "Get on, Yu, let's catch up."

Yu Meiren shook her head, then stepped onto the scooter and gripped the back of the scooter with both hands.

After seeing Yu Meiren get into the carriage, Emiya Shirou laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, hold on tight, I'll take you flying!"

Then he sped off on the little motorcycle out of the alley, clinging tightly to the back of the black luxury carriage.

"This isn't a motorcycle, is it? It's nowhere near as loud as in the movies!" Due to the rapid acceleration, Yu Meiren, who was riding a motorcycle for the first time, suddenly leaned forward, pressing her entire body against Emiya Shirou's broad and sturdy back.

The soft, large rabbit, without a bra, deformed significantly, and its two hands tightly wrapped around Shirou Emiya's waist.

"Haha, this is an electric scooter, the kind that's powered by batteries. Of course, it doesn't have the engine sound of a traditional motorcycle. And since this is projected, I don't need to worry about the range. I can just speed along."

I even added some really powerful acceleration devices to it, making it no worse than those high-end motorcycles. " ", feeling the warmth and softness behind him, Shirou Emiya's voice rose several octaves as he achieved the desired effect.

"It's not as nice as a motorcycle at all!" Yu Meiren complained mercilessly, "It feels like a little girl is driving one."

"Ah, this, projection requires understanding the structure of the object, including every part of it, etc. I've only disassembled this electric scooter, not a motorcycle. I'll buy a sports car later and disassemble it for projection!"

Besides, if my restaurant closes down in the future, I can just hire an electric scooter to support you!

"Hahahaha! You're so funny, how many years can you support me?" Yu Meiren was genuinely amused by Emiya Shirou's silly remark.

"How long do you want me to support you?"

"..." Yu Meiren fell silent when the topic of age came up; it was a subject she didn't want to face.

"What's wrong?" Emiya Shirou couldn't see Yu Meiren's expression and couldn't turn around, so he could only ask blankly.

"No, it's nothing, Shirou, look, the carriage has slowed down!" Yu Meiren gently nuzzled Shirou's back, changing the subject.

“I see that huge manor ahead; it must be the home of this noble young lady. Let’s get off the bus now.”

Emiya Shirou stopped the electric scooter, and after Yu Meiren got off, he withdrew his magic. Then, under the cover of darkness, the two slipped into the nobleman's house.
