Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

Volume 1: Chapter 10 Maybe Emiya isn't very popular with girls

Emiya wasn't quite sure why things had turned out this way, but there was no doubt that Yotsuya Miko was angry.

And it's not just ordinary anger, it's extremely angry.

On the way home, she hardly spoke to Emiya anymore. She was just concentrating on operating her mobile phone, her slender fingers tapping on the screen, almost creating sparks.

Emiya tried to ask what she was doing, but Miko just said that she was discussing something important with her best friend.

Even though they were worlds that were almost identical, and even though only less than a decade had passed, Emiya could feel a very real generation gap.

In his world, although mobile phones are indeed a convenient and fast communication tool, they are not as versatile as they are today.

In Emiya's impression, so-called mobile phones are still the old-fashioned ones with small screens and many keys.

If you shift your perspective to Yotsuya Miko, you can see what she is actually discussing with her bestie—

【...】

[Not Enough: How dare you tease our lovely Jianzi-san? This kind of boy is simply too despicable! ]

【See Rabbit: Right, right! 】

[Hungry: So, Jianzi-san, how about we go to Shibuya after school tomorrow? I heard there's a new chef at our usual restaurant.]

[Mizuko Usagi: Speaking of chefs, I remember Emiya-san mentioned that he can cook, too?]

【Not having enough to eat: ......】

[Not Enough: You've changed, Jian Zisang. Now you can't even talk about a boy without a guy.]

[Hungry for food: So please introduce him to me. I want to decide whether to allow him to date our lovely Jianzi based on his cooking skills.]

【Jianzitu: What are you talking about? ? ?!】

Yotsuya Kenko suddenly pressed his finger hard on the off button of his mobile phone, then put the phone back into his pocket without hesitation, leaving it to vibrate without any reaction.

She was so angry that she wanted to use the cold violence on her best friend for ten minutes.

Her first reaction wasn't to help her, but to go and see that guy's cooking skills? If he was really good at cooking, would this guy still be so ungrateful?

Besides, what the hell is dating? Are you kidding me?!

It's clear that they have only known each other for less than two days!

Yotsuya Miko subconsciously turned her head to look at Emiya who was walking behind her, but found that he was looking around at everything on the street and didn't even notice that she stopped here.

Paji——

There was no doubt that Emiya crashed into him directly, but Yotsuya Miko, who was well prepared, just leaned forward slightly to maintain her balance.

Until this moment, Emiya still had a confused look on his face, but Yotsuya Miko slowly narrowed her eyes.

She didn't know why, but now she felt even angrier.

"Jingle Bell--"

Fortunately, the phone rang at this moment, but the person who received the call was not Yotsuya Miko, but Emiya who had just picked up the phone.

This was given to him by the assistant supervisor named Ichichi Jie Gao, who said it was a special model specifically for the sorcerers. If there was any commissioned task, he would be informed of it in advance.

Emiya answered the phone.

The person who called him was none other than Ijichi Jietaka. He said that there was a low-level commission that was suitable for him, so he directly accepted it on behalf of Emiya and now asked for his opinion.

Of course, Emiya accepted it without any surprise.

After hanging up the phone, Yotsuya Miko seemed to have forgotten her previous displeasure and hurriedly asked Emiya, "Are we going to accept the commission to remove the cursed spirit now?"

"They said there happened to be a low-level exorcism mission, and the target was in a nearby school, so they wanted to test my abilities first."

This actually seemed normal to Emiya. After all, it was an official organization, so it should at least test the abilities of those who joined.

"We're going to do it like this? Isn't there any danger?"

Yotsuya Miko couldn't let go of her worries. Regardless of whether it was a high-level or low-level monster, facing that kind of monster would definitely be dangerous, right?

Not to mention that those sorcerers didn't know that Emiya couldn't see the true form of the cursed spirit, but she knew it.

"No way? They said the highest level of cursed spirits this time is only level three, and there will be a student from the High School of Curse Arts to fight together..."

Ijichi's original words were that the student himself could easily remove the cursed spirit, so there was no need to worry about safety.

The main reason for asking him to accompany them was that the higher-ups wanted to test his abilities a little and let him show himself as much as possible.

But this is only a theoretical problem. Are girls the kind of creatures who will reason with you?

Therefore, Yotsuya Miko's worries are no less than they should be.

She hesitated for a moment before finally speaking to Emiya: "If that's possible... yes, how about taking me with you? At least I can help you point out the location of those cursed spirits..."

Of course, Yotsuya Miko was scared when she went to the deserted academy to fight the evil spirit at midnight.

But compared to this fear, she was more worried about Emiya's safety. And if the evil spirit was really not as strong as they said, he would definitely be able to protect her.

Besides, things like Yin-Yang eyes won't disappear, so it will definitely be good for her to know more about it!

Yotsuya Miko found many reasons in her mind to overcome her fear, but in the end she couldn't completely hide the worry and fear on her face.

Perhaps to creatures like cursed spirits that don't have much intelligence, the expression on Yotsuya Miko's face hasn't changed much, but that look is still quite obvious to Emiya.

He was very touched that the other party was worried about him, so it was even more impossible for him to let Jianzi follow him.

"Even if you want to go, you don't have any reason to explain to your family why you're going out at night, right?"

Emiya's original intention was just to make the other party give up the idea of ​​following him, but his words seemed to be somewhat ambiguous.

"..."

boom--!

This time, Yotsuya Miko didn't say anything, but took action directly.

She stretched out her finger expressionlessly and tapped Emiya's forehead, then turned and walked away. In Emiya's sight, she walked to the door of her house at the end of the road, walked in and closed the door.

"It seems like, I accidentally said the wrong thing again?"

Emiya was already trying very hard to reflect on his own problems.

Maybe he is actually the type that girls don't like very much?

Fortunately, just when Emiya was thinking about how to get the other party's forgiveness, a new message suddenly came on his mobile phone.

[Mikotobu: If I could see Emiya-san cooking by herself tomorrow, I might be very happy.]

The good news is that the other party is not really angry, the bad news is... when did they add each other as friends?

When Jianzi asked to help him debug his new phone?

Um......

It's obviously a smart phone, but why does Emiya think it's not smart at all and a bit difficult to use?

Volume 1: Chapter 11: The so-called cursed spirit, just kill it

The people from the Jujutsu High School didn't even give Emiya time to go home and prepare, because just as Yotsuya Miko left, Ijichi drove his car and pulled up in front of him.

Obviously, even though it was still quite some time before nightfall, he had no chance to enjoy a leisurely life.

According to Ijichi, he must learn more about the knowledge of cursed spirits and information related to the commission.

Because sorcerers are always likely to encounter various accidents when performing their tasks, the auxiliary supervisors can only use this method to provide as much help as possible.

"Mr. Emiya, this is your first time accepting a mission from the High School, so there are some things I must explain to you."

Ijichi, steering the wheel, focused on the road ahead while explaining to Emiya the basics of being a sorcerer.

"As a sorcerer, your primary mission is to remove cursed spirits to maintain social stability... Therefore, matters related to cursed spirits must never be easily disclosed to ordinary people. During missions, you are also required to ensure the safety of non-sorcerers as much as possible."

"Similarly, using spells to harm others is absolutely forbidden. The spell world also has relevant systems to punish those who do."

As he spoke, Ijichi glanced at Emiya's youthful form through the rearview mirror in the car.

"However, although mission objectives often include the requirement to protect non-magicians, magicians should still prioritize their own protection. As long as the reasons are sufficient, there won't be any major problems later... This is just my personal advice."

"It's normal to be short-staffed in this industry, and we often receive work that is difficult to handle, so there is no shame in running away."

Being able to save other people's lives is certainly a good thing, but it does not mean that you have to sacrifice your own life.

Even if we talk about it in an absolutely ideal way, as long as a magician survives, he or she can definitely help and save more people than a non-magician.

"So, this mission also requires rescuing people... Then shouldn't we act faster?" Emiya asked immediately.

He had already realized from what happened in the mall today that cursed spirits don't know what it means to keep hostages like humans do.

"No, there are no trapped personnel in this mission, but victims."

"Last night, three middle school students who died in tragic circumstances were found in the back mountains."

"Based on the clues, it doesn't seem like a human crime. The residue left at the scene is so weak that it doesn't seem like it could harm humans. However, after investigating, we found no trace of any other cursed spirits anywhere on campus."

"Because curse spirits are based on human negative emotions, weak curse spirits are almost everywhere in places where people gather. So there is only one possibility for this situation to happen..."

"That's because a powerful cursed spirit has taken root in the school, forcing the other cursed spirits to leave out of fear and leave."

If we must make some kind of argument, cursed spirits can actually be considered a type of living creature.

Although they do not have the ability to reproduce, they still have a series of instinctive reactions such as survival, fear, and the pursuit of a better living environment.

"A middle school student, probably around thirteen or fourteen years old..."

Emiya's attention was not entirely on the message from the cursed spirit, but also on the victim mentioned by Ijichi.

Even though there were sorcerers trying their best to remove the cursed spirit, the other party also said that the monsters born from human emotions were simply endless.

They can crawl out from various dark corners at any time, and most of the time all the sorcerers can do is to deal with the aftermath of the appearance of the cursed spirits and prevent the situation from escalating further.

"Yes, it is said that their parents went to the school and made a big fuss today..."

Just when he was halfway through his story, Ijichi noticed that something was wrong with Emiya's expression, so he quickly changed the focus of his words.

"However, there's no need to worry too much about the cursed spirit being too strong. The predicted strength is probably only level three, or at most, quasi-level two."

Next, Ijichi gave Emiya a brief introduction to the basic classification of the strength of cursed spirits.

Level 4 cursed spirits generally refer to those that are tiny in size, and some cursed spirits that are barely the size of a human. Their strength is basically at the level that a strong adult man with a baseball bat can deal with.

A third-level cursed spirit must be paired with a firearm such as a pistol to ensure safety, while a second-level cursed spirit must be paired with various automatic firearms.

If the cursed spirit's strength reaches level one, even the government's tanks would be unable to resist it.

As for the strength of the cursed spirits, if it reaches the special level, then most of the thermal weapons known to mankind will not be able to cause effective killing power to them.

It can even be said that the premise of all this is based on the fact that physical damage can effectively kill the cursed spirits.

Normally speaking, even if an ordinary person who has trained to the extreme faces the weakest cursed spirit, it is impossible for him to destroy the opponent.

Even first-level sorcerers find it difficult to deal with those terrifying special-grade curse spirits. If the sorcery world did not also have inhuman special-grade sorcerers, humanity would have long been on the countdown to destruction.

However, those distant things have nothing to do with the current Emiya. His mission is only to destroy a cursed spirit that is judged to be level three.

This time, he was also assigned a third-level highly skilled sorcerer as his companion, and the standard of a third-level sorcerer was that he could remove third-level cursed spirits with 100% certainty.

So it can be said without a doubt that they will win this mission.

"We're here, Mr. Emiya. This is our destination."

"Akagase Junior High School."

After Ijichi explained some common sense of the world of curse to Emiya, they successfully arrived at the destination of this commission.

The timing was perfect. As they got out of the car and looked towards the middle school, the sun had already completely set in the sky, leaving only a moment of light that cast a dark shadow over the central teaching building of the academy.

Even if he knew nothing before, Emiya would now suspect that this school was haunted.

"Mr. Ichichi."

"what?"

"I want to ask, is it really true that ordinary people cannot see the existence of cursed spirits at all?"

"Almost." Aside from special Yin-Yang eyes, there are only two ways for non-magicians to see the existence of cursed spirits.

Ijichi pushed up his glasses and explained, "First, in an environment with excessively dense cursed energy, even non-magicians can be infected and temporarily awaken. Second, when near death, a person's emotions reach a peak, and they can also see cursed spirits."
