The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

The crimson blade collided with the spiraling lightning, and at that moment, the earth-shattering energy was finally released, its scale far surpassing the seemingly turbulent lightning.

Her figure flashed, passing through the terrifying curtain of fire, and she reached out to grab Wei Gong's hand.

However, in the instant before their fingertips touched, both of their movements changed simultaneously—

[Red Chickweed] VS [Red Chickweed]

Fireworks fluttered, like red butterflies.

In the contest of magic control, the elf girl was ultimately superior.

Liu finally managed to grab Wei Gong's wrist as she wished.

As he spoke, he took out the [Lycoris Radiata] hidden behind him. As the magic power weakened, this projection gradually became illusory.

Liu said softly.

Anya and the others ran over, and seeing Wei Gong fall into the clutches of the devil, they couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Gong was able to grow rapidly at an unimaginable rate when he was at Lv.1, and eventually broke the fastest level-up record in the city. His personal talent and opportunities were one aspect, but Liu and Anya's help was also crucial.

After leveling up to Lv.2, Wei Gong first recovered from his injuries, then was busy dealing with the Ishtar Familia, and then had to focus on forging weapons. In between, he also took the time to destroy a Soma Familia, so he never had time for special training.

As for Liu, although she was accustomed to her body after leveling up, the [Astrea Record], a magic with extremely high potential, still needed further development.

In fact, when she got serious, she could easily beat up the four adventurers, [Chariot's Half-Wheel], [Black Cat], [Black Fist], and [Sword King], who were all well-known in the city.

"Becoming a first-class adventurer" is an extremely powerful bargaining chip, enough to shake the will of the Guild. Through this achievement, people like [Black Cat] and [Black Fist], who once roamed the underground world, can also openly clear their identities.

Just look at the example of [Gale]—this "first-class adventurer" who was once wanted with a sky-high reward has already openly reached a deal with the Guild.

What's more, she wasn't completely without ambition.

In short, the girls worked very hard, and Wei Gong also worked very hard, but unfortunately, the gap in strength could not be overcome by mere effort.

Liu only needed to simply break out of the siege of the three Lv.4 adventurers, then solve Wei Gong, who had the lowest level but was the most troublesome due to his ranged attack ability, and then turn around to deal with Anya and the others to easily win.

The rule was a limited-time pursuit battle. Liu's goal was to capture Wei Gong, who had the lowest level, while Wei Gong's group was responsible for escaping and providing support.

This balanced the situation a lot, and Liu, even with many restrictions, still won several times in a row, until now—

Xier held a pocket watch in her hand and said with a smile.

"Being able to win against the perverted 'Muscle Fairy' must be a great achievement, meow!"

Lunova complained, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

That's what she said, but her depressed tone and slightly trembling body clearly revealed her mood.

"Pa ~"

Xier put her hands together, and she raised the wooden box: "Everyone must be hungry, let's eat, Shiro and I have prepared lunch for everyone."

Xier said with a smile.

Girls: "..."

Chapter 126 Black and White Knights.

[Black Fist] Lunova winked frantically at her companions, conveying her inner thoughts.

On the contrary, her partners, Liu, Anya, and Chloe, all possess the development ability [Abnormal Resistance], and their levels are not low.

Even with [Abnormal Resistance], they may not be able to withstand Xier's "cooking", and it would be too much of a sacrifice to give up Wei Gong's cooking.

Liu was able to withstand Xier's cooking, but she resolutely did not want to miss the lunch prepared by Wei Gong.

So now, it's just a matter of luck—

Russian roulette, a cruel game. Unlike other games that use playing cards, dice, and other gambling tools, the gambling tool for Russian roulette is a revolver and human lives.

The dazed girl accidentally left the dishes she made in the tavern.

"Thank you, Mama Mia!!!"

"Shiro, is today's lunch a sandwich?"

Wei Gong said as he opened the wooden lunch box.

Except for Xier's, each lunch contained four sizable sandwiches, filled with fresh vegetables, smooth eggs, savory ham, and thick tuna.

They, who possess physical qualities far superior to ordinary people, also have several times the ability to digest and absorb nutrients, especially under high-intensity activity.

Although Wei Gong didn't feel that her figure and body had changed in any way compared to the past, being concerned about weight is probably the nature of every girl of this age.

Yalisha once tried to bake bread with magic, but because she didn't control her magic well, she baked the bread into charcoal and almost burned Huiye's hair. In the end, Huiye forced her to eat the bread that had been baked into charcoal.

"Liu, is smiling."

A simple barbecue rack was placed above the fire, and then the sandwiches were placed on it to heat up. The slightly grilled bread exuded a nutty aroma.

These breads were baked by the goddess Demeter herself. Making dishes for the children of her familia is this goddess's greatest hobby, and some of the extra ones were given to Liu, who lived with her.

Anya: "Hey ~ Liu, can the cat exchange a vegetable sandwich for your fish sandwich, meow."

"No."

"Anya, you usually eat very little vegetables, right? You often leave green peppers and carrots behind."

"Goo, cats don't like the taste of vegetables, meow..."

Xier sat on the side, looking at Wei Gong's profile, and couldn't help but smile softly.

"What's wrong?"

Xier said while smiling: "I feel that although Shiro is the youngest, he is unexpectedly like everyone's 'mother'."

Girls: "..."

Except for Xier, who was careful in her work, and Liu, who had transferred to a guard, the expressions of the other girls instantly became unnatural.

"Wait a minute, I remember that Anya was chosen by rock-paper-scissors to..."

"Ehehe, I forgot ~"

"...Ahhh, you idiot cat, we are going to be killed by you!"

Xier took out the lemon tea she had prepared in advance, and Wei Gong projected [Ice Skadi]. The sword gently released the glass bottle, and the cold air swirled, turning the room temperature fruit tea into an iced cold drink.

The rainbow radiance of the spiral sword was suppressed, dispelled, and swallowed, as scorching flames swept towards Emiya.

“Shirou, this time, I win again.”

Ryu said, a rare smile appearing on her usually aloof features.

The spiral sword in his right hand had already shattered into shimmering light, and Emiya subconsciously raised his hand towards Ryu.

The same magic bloomed in their hands, two streams of fire flowing towards each other, intertwining, and finally flowing back into Ryu's hand, scattering in all directions.

Emiya stopped resisting: “I thought Ryu might overlook the fact that I can also use [Red Flower Clover].”

“I wouldn’t overlook anything about Shirou.”

“Ah ah~ Shirou was finally caught, nya~”

Today, Ryu and Emiya had specially borrowed the training grounds from the goddess Demeter for intensive training.

These two high-level Lv.4 adventurers spent a lot of time every day sparring with a Lv.1 newbie. Thanks to them, Emiya's ability scores were increasing at a rate far exceeding the average, especially in the beginning, when each day of special training benefited him immensely.

He mentioned the idea of ​​“special training” to Ryu, and coincidentally, Ryu and Anya also had such thoughts.

Emiya needed training to improve his ability scores, while Anya and the others were holding a grudge in their hearts for being defeated by the “useless fairy.”

Therefore, they hit it off and agreed to train together, and in the end, the sparring match unexpectedly turned into Ryu against four people.

There is a thick “wall” between Lv.5 and Lv.4. This gap is as huge as the difference between Lv.2 and Lv.1 who have not undergone a level upgrade, far exceeding the difference between Lv.4 and Lv.3, and Lv.3 and Lv.2. It is precisely because of this that adventurers above Lv.5 are respectfully called “First Class” and enjoy various tangible and intangible privileges.

This is also an important motivation for the two to work hard to improve, and Anya, even if she doesn't have much ambition, can't sit still when she sees the girls around her working hard one by one.

The advantage in numbers is meaningless to a high-speed swordsman like Ryu. As long as she doesn't want to get entangled, she can escape Anya and the others' encirclement at any time, and if Ryu wants to fight, no one can escape her pursuit.

After several times, even Syl, who was watching, felt bored, so she proposed a battle method with rules.

Emiya could set up the battlefield and project in advance. Even if Anya and the others were defeated by Ryu, they could return to the battlefield after one minute. If they failed to catch the target within the limited time, Ryu would lose.

“Unfortunately, Ryu, although you caught Shirou, time's up.”

Anya and Chloe were stunned for a moment, then jumped up and hugged each other: “Yay, the cats won!”

“How could it be a great feat…”

“Ryu, are you okay.”

Emiya looked at the elf girl.

Ryu: “I'm fine, I'm fine. It's just losing once, it's okay…”

Elven girls are mostly extremely competitive.

“Oh yeah, Shirou's cooking is the best, nya.”

“Wait a minute, Syl, you said that you and Shirou—”

“Yes, one of these dishes was made by me.”

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

“Whose [Abnormal Resistance] level is higher? Hurry, help!!!”

Lunoa, who had undergone three upgrades, had acquired development skills each time she leveled up, but none of her three development skills included [Abnormal Resistance] or [Poison Resistance].

However, they chose to turn a blind eye to Lunoa's eyes, or rather, to watch her die.

“Ryu, aren’t you going to carry out the justice of the Astraea Familia?”

“...I'm not that righteous yet.”

After a simple exchange of glances, Lunoa realized that the other party would not sacrifice herself, and the other two cats were absolutely unreliable.

Now the girls are playing such a game. There are six lunch boxes, five of which are lunches prepared by Emiya, and one more…

“Ara, they're all sandwiches made by Shirou. Did I take the wrong one and mixed it up with the one Shirou gave to Mom Mia?”

The girls had never been so sincerely grateful to boss Mia.

“Well, since it’s a picnic, I thought sandwiches would be the most suitable.”

If it were an ordinary person without God's Grace, it would be difficult for even a strong adult male to eat so many oversized sandwiches in one meal, but for adventurers, it was just right.

Syl's portion only had a vegetable sandwich. The girl claimed that she was trying to lose weight recently and blamed her recent weight gain on the cakes made by Emiya.

He collected some dry branches and leaves and lit them with the magic [Red Flower Clover]—this reminded Ryu of the past.

Thinking about it now, this kind of thing happened purely because Aria was an idiot. She could have just lit the wood with magic like Shirou and then leisurely grilled it, but she insisted on holding the bread in her hand and lighting it…

Emiya looked at the elf girl sitting by the fire, hugging her knees and drifting off into the distance. His heart naturally calmed down.

It seems to be simple food, but in a sense, it is more precious than any delicacies—

The rich dishes in the bread were Emiya's work, specially considering the girls' tastes, including Ryu's favorite vegetables, Lunoa's favorite ham, the two cat girls' favorite fish, and nutritious eggs.

Before Ryu could answer, Emiya spoke first: “You can't just eat what you like. Eating both vegetables and meat is the only way to get a balanced diet.”

Anya looked dejected, but still obediently picked up the heated vegetable sandwich and nibbled on it: “Shirou is too strict, nya.”

“Oh~ I like Emiya Mama, nya! Shirou is much gentler than Mia Mama, nya!”

Emiya smiled: “Speaking of Mom Mia, you guys should have remembered to ask boss Mia for leave today.”

“Lunoa, did you remember to ask Mom Mia for leave?”

“Huh?! Didn’t we agree that you would ask for leave!”

The cat girl, who had been lowering her head since just now, raised her head, tapped her head lightly with one hand, and threw a wink at the same time:

The girls started to quarrel, while Emiya and Syl ate lunch unhurriedly.

“Come, have some tea to calm down~”

Syl said, with a lively smile on her lips.

… …

In the distant forest, so far away that neither Ryu nor Emiya could detect any murderous aura or gaze, a blonde elf in white put down a magic tool with the [Telescopic] function.
