The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

As for the object of her observation, it was Ryuu, who was having lunch with the boy after finishing her hard work at noon.

The boy gently ruffled Ryuu's hair, and as if sensing Kloe's gaze, his pale golden eyes looked up.

Kloe, who had lowered her hood to cover her eyes, turned away like a wildcat. She traversed several rooftops, silently leaping into a dark alley.

She took out [Gale's] wanted poster from her bosom. This realistic portrait of the adventurer was not issued by the guild, but mainly drawn by adventurers and merchants who paid for it.

Kloe Rollo, a legendary assassin widely known in Orario's underground world, holds the title of [Black Cat].

After learning the truth, Kloe parted ways with her original Familia. After completing the last task assigned by the goddess, she completely left that dark organization.

After leaving the Familia, Kloe still made a living as an assassin, which was the only way she had learned to survive since she was a child.

“Ah～ I want to live an elegant life being served by handsome young men meow～ Just let them caress my navel and tail, and enjoy that blush-inducing paradise meow～”

The young cat person girl muttered frivolously, "Besides, this time, Cat doesn't want to do the job meow."

Kloe said whimsically.

Such thoughts gradually nurtured envy in her heart, which eventually evolved into an uncontrollable fire of jealousy.

Leave the labyrinth city and find a distant country to spend the rest of her life in luxury.

The cat person girl fantasized about a bright future.

The staff, who were usually treated like beasts of burden, rejoiced because of the unexpected temporary break.

Taking advantage of Mia's absence, a group of people held a small banquet in the detached restaurant, indulging in feasting and drinking.

The tavern was noisy, and at the same time, a human female bounty hunter and a cat person assassin left their respective residences.

He didn't drink today, but for some reason, he slept exceptionally deeply, surrounded by a sweet aura that lured Welf into a deeper sleep.

Welf struggled to open his eyes, but soon, due to the intense drowsiness, his heavy eyelids drooped again.

[Luminous Wind]

Welf suddenly opened his eyes.

“—This is, Ryuu’s magic.”

At this moment, the persistent drowsiness had been thrown to the back of his mind, Welf frowned, the faint fragrance in the air made him feel a little uncomfortable.

[The Benevolent Mistress] is not an ordinary tavern; the number of high-level adventurers here even exceeds that of most Familias in Orario.

A longbow and arrows appeared out of thin air. Welf, holding his weapon, did not go through the door, but climbed out of the room through the window. He stepped on the windowsill, leaped up, and lightly jumped onto the roof of the detached building.

It was as if they had been bombarded by a powerful magic sword or had suffered the annihilation magic of a high-level adventurer.

The smell of burnt wood permeated the air, stimulating Welf's nasal cavity and mind.

Anya, who was slammed into the wall by the impact, leaving a cat person-shaped dent, Ryuu, who crashed into the living room, Lunoire, who was blown into the warehouse, and Kloe, who rolled a dozen times on the ground.

“Idiot Ryuu!! Cat specifically came to save you, what the heck are you doing meow──!!”

“Leaving aside Anya, Black Cat, you originally came to assassinate me, right.”

And the chaotic battle between the four Lv.4 second-tier adventurers has not yet been decided.

“Ha, awesome! I'm fired up right now! It's because I sometimes run into idiots like you that I can't let go of this job!”

Lunoire punched her right palm, revealing a ferocious smile.

And just then—

“Hahaha! As expected, you’re fighting to a standstill!”

A voice clearly from a fourth party other than Ryuu and the hidden Welf appeared in the courtyard.

“Bruno Trading Company…? What’s going on? Didn't we agree that [Gale] would be handled by me alone?”

Beside the man stood a dwarf with a lewd smile.

Kloe narrowed her eyes. Ryuu and the others also vaguely sensed the situation before them.

“That’s right! [Black Fist] and [Black Cat], you are just as much of a nuisance to us!”

“First, let you fight with [Gale], and after you've fought to a standstill, we'll clean you all up together… That’s the real purpose of this request!”

“The Dark Faction has collapsed! It’s all thanks to you, Ryuu Lion! This city… Orario will be reborn because of you.”

“As for the rebirth, the revitalized Orario will be managed by our trading company! At that time, if vagrant mercenaries and outlaws like you continue to exist, it will give us a headache!!”

The man stretched out his hand and ordered the strong men beside him.

However—

“How boring.”

“Third-rate petty tricks meow.”

“If you want to deal with us, this level of trash should at least send out ten times the number. Your understanding of adventurers' strength can only be described as tragic…”

“Ah, ah, ah, my knee, who is it!”

A dark shadow leaped down from the high building, and black boots stomped heavily on the human merchant's face, burying the man's wails into the floor.

Welf raised his right foot and slammed it down again, crushing the human male's head into the earth.

The dwarf next to the human merchant shouted in panic:

“Shut up.”

【Gale】… She’s… completely different from before, meow.

Amidst the cheers of the silver-haired girl, 【Gale】 accepted the boy's head-patting reward. She covered her face with both hands, but even without looking, one could imagine the blissful expression on the elf girl's face.

Has she found her place, meow?

Croy moved her cat ears, which protruded from her hood, and muttered to herself in the deserted alleyway.

Due to 【Gale】's rampage and numerous grudges, she was listed as a bounty target.

Croy, on the other hand, was hired by merchants to deal with 【Gale】's "assassins."

She was born into a criminal familia led by an evil goddess. In her childhood, her only companion was her "partner"—an older sister who silently protected her. However, this sister was actually her mother, who sacrificed herself in a mission to protect Croy.

However, as time passed, she gradually grew tired of this precarious life. Every mission was like walking on the edge of a knife, and after each successful assassination, the emptiness in her heart grew stronger.

Croy Rollo, sixteen years old.

Should I retire, meow?

【Gale】 likes pretty boys, so Cat doesn't want to kill her, meow.

But then again, to be loved by such a handsome boy, isn't 【Gale】 a little too lucky—

It's decided. Tonight, I'll teach 【Gale】 a lesson, and then, Cat will retire, meow.

Croy Rollo.

Night fell.

Because they had to attend an important banquet, Mia and Syr left the tavern. As soon as the dwarf boss left, Anya and the others cheered, "Yay!" and threw their aprons over their heads.

"Shirou, let's drink together, meow~!"

"Anya, don't corrupt Shirou!"

Runoa \u0026 Croy: "After tonight, I'm washing my hands of this!"

Chapter 63: Gan Jiang and Mo Ye.

The bright moonlight shone through the window into the room, scattering across Emiya's face, like a soft veil covering his eyes.

Boom—

A loud roar broke into his dream, the bed and ground beneath him shaking constantly, the images in his dream gradually falling apart.

And what he heard in his sleep seemed to be a call from a distant realm, reshaping itself in his dream.

The next moment, he had already jumped out of bed.

"This smell… is 'Sleep Essence'?"

"Enemy attack."

Emiya made a judgment immediately, and at the same time, his thought was: "Someone actually dares to attack this place?"

"Is it because they are confident, or because they are ignorant?"

Emiya raised his hands: "Trace On."

Then, he saw a shocking scene.

Centered on the courtyard behind the 【Hostess of Fertility】 tavern, the space surrounded by buildings was damaged everywhere, the surrounding houses were full of cracks, and a large amount of thick smoke was rising.

In his vision, four girls, from four different directions, "crawled" out.

Elf, human, two cat people, four Lv.4 second-tier adventurers of different races, were now truly fighting fiercely.

"Damn it… they actually pulled this on me! Are they planning to die together…?"

"You're trying to kill the Cats, meow—!?"

【Black Fist】 and 【Black Cat】, two "renowned" bounty hunters and assassins, infiltrated the tavern not long ago. 【Black Cat】 released a high-level 【Sleep Essence】 that she had personally concocted. Except for Anya and Ryu, who possessed the development ability 【Abnormal Resistance】, everyone else in the tavern was affected, and only Emiya had just woken up.

Even though she understood that her reaction was not cautious enough, Ryu couldn't help but smile at Runoa's straightforward nature.

Runoa frowned, and Ryu looked around, discovering that the surroundings were filled with countless ruffians, and each person held various weapons such as knives, swords, and clubs.

Runoa cast a sharp gaze at the human male leading the group of ruffians.

"That dwarf… is the client who commissioned Cat to carry out the assassination, meow."

"I see… you weren't just targeting 【Gale】, but also included us…"

The human merchant—who was a member of the Bruno Trading Company—smiled and admitted it.

The reason why the two of them were simultaneously targeting 【Gale】 was also intentionally arranged by them.

The two trading company members, who had colluded in secret, provided the same information to lure Runoa and Croy, so that they would choose the same day to eliminate Ryu.

As many people had predicted, the trading company executive also said the same future, and continued to say:

The trading company executive became carried away and boasted.

"Moreover, how can we leave you guys alive, knowing about our relationship with the Dark Faction! Brothers, attack!"

The ruffians greedily licked their lips at the wounded and pitiful girls, and began to close the encirclement.

The girls complained helplessly.

"Ryu, can we just beat those guys up and send them flying?"

"Should be, no problem—"

The sound of an arrow cutting through the air interrupted the girls' conversation.

The human merchant, the executive of the Bruno Trading Company, had already fallen to the ground, clutching his knees.

"So, it was you guys who destroyed the tavern (home)."

Ryu: …

Now that it has come to this, it seems that she can no longer say that she was the one who blew up the tavern.

"Doing this to us, don't think you can get away unscathed…!! The ones backing our Bruno Trading Company are…!!"
