The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Ryu's personality is twisted, stemming from the conflict between her inherently noble nature and her tragic past.

In a sense, it could even be called "demonic."

"Huh?"

Ryu froze.

"Ryu, your struggle isn't just tormenting yourself, it's causing me pain too."

"No, what is Shirou saying? I don't understand…"

"Simply put… it's all Ryu's fault."

"That's unreasonable, completely twisting the facts…"

Emiya was particularly firm: "So, Ryu, not for your sake, but for mine, pull yourself together!"

"Why like this, don't decide things on your own…"

Golden and blue pupils met, looking at Emiya's increasingly shining eyes after leveling up, like molten gold flowing within, Ryu's will wavered more and more.

The elf's "twistedness" was gradually swallowed by Emiya's "demonic nature."

…

"Shirou, I want to write a letter to the Goddess Astrea…"

"Congratulations."

Syr gently clapped her hands: "Your relationship is back to normal."

A smile appeared on Syr's lovely face, she thought: "No, it should be even further than that."

She thought: "To be able to do this much, he really is amazing."

"Two dazzling, brilliant souls, the exquisite colors bursting forth from the intertwining of fate, are even more delicious than 'love'."

In an instant, she seemed to exude an ultimate charm completely different from her identity as a "cute waitress."

"Ugh, you're poking me ~"

Syr begged for mercy: "Ryu, let me go."

Just then, "thump," "thump," two dull sounds rang out in the air.

Ryu and Syr both hugged their heads, squatting on the ground, letting out pitiful wails.

"And you, you idiot girl! It took you so long to get this good-for-nothing out here!"

"We have so few people available today, you two better hurry up and get to work!"

Emiya looked at the scene before him and asked: "Are there very few staff in the shop today?"

Mia turned her head, throwing two punches, she calmed down a little: "Yeah, a lot of people happen to be taking the day off today."

As she spoke, she turned around, about to habitually walk towards the kitchen, but Mia suddenly stopped him: "Hey, kid, where are you going?"

So, Emiya naturally assumed that the owner, Mia, was asking him to help with cooking.

Mia's expression immediately became a little complicated after hearing his answer, eventually turning into a sigh, she waved her hand: "No way!"

Mia said unhappily:

"If they spread rumors like 'the standard of this shop has dropped' out there, that would be troublesome!"

"In that case, I'll help with taking orders."

During the lunch rush, the tavern was bustling with activity, and Emiya helped with taking orders.

It was an unremarkable human male sitting by the window, the supporter and guide for Emiya's first dungeon adventure, Raul Nord, a Lv.4 adventurer from the Loki Familia, 【Exceptional Husband】.

"Emiya, long time no see, are you working here?"

Raul greeted him enthusiastically.

Emiya responded.

Raul nodded, his gaze lingering on Emiya for a moment, as if trying to confirm something.

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled sound came. Raul clutched his leg, almost sliding off the chair in pain.

"That's rude, Raul."

Although the Goddess Loki is a god, she doesn't have much authority in the Loki Familia. The Familia's adventurers are more willing to treat her as a friend rather than a "parent."

Recently, the Goddess Loki has been vigorously promoting the so-called "Emiya Threat Theory" within the Familia, causing a lot of discussion.

Raul grimaced in pain, but under Anki's authority, he could only endure the pain, not daring to say anything more. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he quickly straightened his expression and began to introduce: "This is 【Noble Cat】 Anakitty Autumn, from the same Familia as me."

Hearing Emiya's words, Anki's tail couldn't help but wag slightly, but noticing her gaffe, she immediately controlled her tail's movement, trying to maintain her usual indifference. She nodded slightly and said: "Ahem, thank you."

He turned his head and saw a brown-haired human woman sitting in a position not far away.

Although the woman's appearance was not as delicate as that of an elf, her features were proper, exuding a refreshing and capable aura. Paired with her neat short hair, the overall impression was a unique charm that was both beautiful and handsome.

She didn't respond immediately. She just looked down at the menu, remained silent for a moment, and finally shook her head gently without saying a word. Then, the woman stood up and quietly left the tavern, as if her appearance was just a brief interlude.

Her name is Runoa Faust, a legendary bounty hunter in Orario's underground world known as 【Black Fist】.

Runoa was born in a war zone, her parents died in the war, and she grew up alone. Relying on the power of 【God's Grace】 and her invincible fists, she has paved her way to survival in this dangerous world. Over the years, she has wandered through different familias, but has never found a place to call her own.

In front of her eyes, the figure of 【Wind】 standing beside the boy, shyly lowering her head, appeared.

"I originally wanted to give up this request, but as expected, I'm so angry… At least I have to beat her up."

She was like a child, wanting to vent her anger on 【Wind】, who should have been living in the same bloody world as her, but now has found a place to belong.

Runoa o Faust.

"…She's changed, meow."

The catgirl was on the top floor of a building bathed in sunlight, overlooking the bar "The Benevolent Mistress".

However, Welf Crozzo, beneath the facade of a "gentle old soul," possessed a deeper, more stubborn, and fundamentally twisted nature than Ryuu.

Welf began, "If Ryuu cannot find happiness, then neither can I."

"What—"

"Because that's the kind of person I am. My happiness is built upon the happiness of those around me. 'Welf Crozzo' is just that kind of person. Ryuu, because you are in pain, I am also in pain!"

Ryuu bit her lower lip, feeling utterly wronged.

"Is Welf perhaps, ordering me...?"

Ryuu wavered even more.

"If that's what it takes for you to accept it, then yes, it's an order. Since Ryuu feels that her existence is meaningless, then just entrust your life to me. Ryuu's past and future, I will bear them all!"

The young man's eyes were like a tranquil bay, clear and transparent, beneath the calm surface lay an endless abyss.

Chapter 62: Lunoire \u0026 Chloe: "After tonight, I'm retiring from this business!"

"Mm..."

Ryuu lowered her head shyly.

"Welf, that child, when it comes to acting for the sake of people or things he cares about, he becomes very 'scary'."

Originally, her expectation was merely to savor the romance between two adorable children, but she never expected the development of events to far exceed her expectations.

Syr gently licked her lips.

However, in the next moment, Syr completely lost her composure.

"Syr, how dare you lock us up!"

Ryuu grabbed Syr's cheeks with both hands, kneading and stretching them like dough.

Only after Syr used a barrage of coaxing, begging for forgiveness, did Ryuu finally release her hands from the girl's soft cheeks.

"Useless elf, what's with that pile of broken plates?"

Miahe, the bar owner, threw out two punches, roaring with imposing momentum:

Miahe stood there, hands on her hips, seething with anger.

"Yes! Understood!"

After enduring Miahe's "tyranny," the human and elf girls became much more obedient. They nodded repeatedly, quickly got up, and dashed back to their respective posts.

She paused for a moment: "If you're free, you can come over and help."

Welf nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Alright."

Welf stopped and turned back in confusion: "I was planning to go to the kitchen to help."

Because he would occasionally help prepare the tavern's staff meals, and those dishes were always well-received, the waitresses were full of praise for his cooking skills.

"If those picky customers happen to like the dishes you make today, they'll complain endlessly if they can't get them every time they come."

Welf was somewhat helpless. He had originally thought he could show off his skills in the kitchen, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Miahe for this reason.

He said.

Miahe thought for a moment and nodded, "Mm, that's more like it."

Just then, he saw a familiar figure.

Sitting across from Raul was a black-haired, black-eyed catgirl with delicate features. The girl quietly looked at Welf, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

She was a Level 4 adventurer from the Loki Familia, Anakitty Autumn, nicknamed "Anki" by those close to her because her name was difficult to pronounce.

"Well, we're a little short-staffed today, so I came to help."

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Welf, are you really the 'Elf Ki…'"

It was Anakitty who was sitting across from him, kicking Raul without any mercy.

Anakitty's tone was calm, but carried a hint of reproach: "Besides, I told you, don't believe Loki's nonsense."

In addition, the goddess Loki herself liked to joke and play pranks, and her occasional strange remarks were usually taken as a joke and laughed off.

Some members of the Loki Familia firmly believed this or were skeptical, while others, like Anki, completely dismissed it, directly regarding it as another prank by the goddess.

The catgirl said in a serious tone, "Just call me Anki."

Anki was different from all the other cat people Welf had met, including the lively Anya and the tavern's cook, Miss Mei. She seemed particularly calm and collected. Welf couldn't help but say, "Anki-senpai, you give off a very reliable feeling."

After that, Welf finished taking Raul and Anki's orders, and was about to continue working when he suddenly felt a gaze from behind him.

The moment Welf turned his head, the woman lowered her head slightly, shifting her gaze to the menu in front of her, as if deliberately avoiding eye contact with him. Out of courtesy, Welf walked over and asked softly, "Hello, do you need any help?"

"[Gale], you've changed."

Leaving the tavern and turning into a dark alley, the brown-haired woman muttered to herself, her voice particularly clear in the silent air.

Because of the lure of the bounty, Lunoire had accepted the task of defeating [Gale]. In order to find an opportunity, she had been observing the tavern where [Gale] was hiding for some time, silently watching Ryuu's every move.

Looking at Ryuu's current state, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy. That once cold and ruthless [Gale], who lived only for revenge, now had a peaceful and warm place to settle down.

Lunoire Fowster, seventeen years old.

Speaking in an old-fashioned tone, the actually quite young human girl looked up at the sky and whispered softly, "Should I retire from being a bounty hunter?"

When Lunoire thought of [Gale]'s current happy expression, she felt a nameless fire burning in her heart.

Lunoire made up her mind. She raised her hand and grasped a ray of sunlight: "I'll make my move tonight, and then—I'll quit this line of work."
