Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

Page 147

Shirou, with ideas forming in his mind, spent the entire day at the Blacksmith's Guild, constantly researching the methods and possibilities for forging the Demon-Slaying Spear.

It wasn't until midnight that he left the Blacksmith's Guild in a daze, having gained more confidence in forging the Demon-Slaying Spear and learned a lot of useful experience.

Since it was late, Shirou planned to hurry back to the inn.

Just then, he suddenly heard some noises coming from the alley next to him.

A man's voice came from inside.

"Hehehe, little girl, just come with me and I'll let you eat your fill."

Shirou, a righteous ally, couldn't stand idly by when his tone was clearly abnormal and sounded like a villain's.

His body reacted instinctively, and he discovered a girl sitting against a wall in the alley, with a fierce-looking man holding her hand.

Faced with this crime scene, Shirou didn't even have time to think twice before kicking the man in the back.

He had no intention of using the sword.

This is too trivial to warrant the use of a sword.

"Ouch, that hurts! You bastard, you're asking for it...!"

The man who was kicked tried to fight back, but he was met with Shirou's fist, which landed squarely on his face, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Shirou intended to take the man directly to the guard post, but then he noticed the girl on the ground suddenly looking at him with a face full of anger.

"Ugh! What...what have you done...!"

"What's wrong? Do you two know each other?"

Shirou thought he had done something wrong and quickly asked what was wrong.

The girl said with dissatisfaction, "Although I don't know him, this guy is willing to provide...food...to this hungry empress..."

"This……"

"Waaaaah, I'm so hungry... Three hundred years after my resurrection, I've actually collapsed in a place like this... Laplace absolutely cannot find out about this..."

The girl spoke in incomprehensible words and collapsed as if she were about to faint from hunger.

Shirou then got a clear look at the girl's face.

This is a young girl wearing a revealing black leather outfit.

Leather hot pants, knee-high boots, pale skin, collarbone, waist, navel, and thighs were all exposed.

The most striking features were her fluffy purple curly hair and goat-like horns.

Shirou knows very little about demons and can't tell the girl's race. Perhaps if Rigel were there, he could figure out the girl's race.

Of course, this is not important.

The important thing right now is that neither the girl nor the villain realizes this.

He explained that he hadn't done anything wrong, but that the purple-haired girl in front of him had been deceived.

Thinking of this, Shirou hesitated before speaking, "If you're very hungry, come with me, I can give you something to eat."

"Really?!"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the girl, who had looked half-dead, suddenly brightened up. Without any doubt, she followed Shirou.

The two arrived at the inn quickly, only to find that it was too late and the inn was no longer serving food.

Demons don't have the habit of eating late-night snacks either.

The purple-haired girl was undoubtedly very disappointed by this fact.

Shirou then comforted him, saying, "How about I make it for you?"

"You can cook?"

The purple-haired girl was somewhat suspicious.

Shirou simply borrowed the kitchen from the innkeeper and quickly started a fire to cook a fairly substantial late-night snack for the purple-haired girl, using leftover ingredients from the inn.

Although this kind of food is not considered luxurious among humans, it is quite unbelievable for the Demon Continent.

The purple-haired girl took only one bite before eagerly began wolfing it down, eventually licking the plate clean.

Seeing this, Shirou could only continue to give her more food.

It took two whole hours of cooking to finally feed this little girl who didn't look very big.

"Mmm... Mmm! Delicious! Your cooking is absolutely amazing! I hereby appoint you as the head chef of my imperial kitchen!!"

The purple-haired girl suddenly regained her spirits and even performed a backflip on the spot, making it hard to imagine the explosive power contained in this small body.

Wait, what did she just say?

Demon Emperor?

Just kidding.

As Shirou looked on in surprise, the purple-haired girl patted her stomach and laughed loudly, "Thank you so much! You've really been a great help! A great help indeed! Now we can probably hold out for another year!"

After she finished speaking, the purple-haired girl's eyes suddenly lit up with a strange light.

Shirou then noticed that the girl's eyes were different colors, one purple and the other green.

Just then, Shirou suddenly noticed that the other person's right eye had turned around, and the pupil had instantly turned blue.

This scene startled Shirou.

But what startled me even more was the girl in front of me.

"Whoa! Whoa! What's wrong with you? What is this? What is this? Hahaha! This is the first time I've encountered something like this!"

Upon seeing Shirou, the girl suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Two souls in one body? And one of them is clearly incredibly powerful, yet the dominant one is a weaker one? You're really interesting, so interesting, hahahaha!"

"You, what are you talking about?"

"It's absolutely insane that someone like you can live a healthy life. Not bad, you might have the potential to be a demon king."

"..."

Completely unable to understand the girl's words, Shirou fell into a noticeable silence.

He no longer dared to underestimate the girl in front of him.

The other party actually saw through the fact that there were two souls in my body, and also realized that I was not an ordinary person.

This gave him a sense of crisis similar to that of a god or a god.

"who are you?"

"Why don't you give me your name before asking me?"

“...I am Shirou Grellard.”

"No, no, I'm asking about your original name. Since you have two souls, it means you're definitely not the original owner of this body, isn't it?"

Upon hearing the girl's words, Shirou hesitated for a moment, realizing that she might have made a wrong judgment.

The other party simply noticed the fact that there were two souls in his body, so he suspected that something like possession had happened to his body.

But in reality, Shirou's body was originally two souls; he came from another world.

Having confirmed that while the girl possessed unique abilities, she couldn't actually see through his true nature like a god or human, Shirou breathed a sigh of relief and revealed his name for the first time in this world:

"My name is Emiya Shirou."

Chapter 206 Gaining Far-Seeing Eyes! Witnessing the Plight of His Family!

"Emiya... Shirou? What a strange name. May I call you Shirou-chan?"

Why add the word "small"?

"Wouldn't that make it seem more intimate?"

"This……"

"Alright, alright, don't worry about it, you big man. By the way, my name is Chihilica Chihiris, also known as the Demon Emperor!!"

The purple-haired girl, who called herself Chishilica, laughed loudly. To project a strong aura, she put her hands on her hips, leaned her upper body back, and thus thrust her hips forward.

Even so, her petite figure doesn't give people any sense of oppression.

It was far less extreme than the immortal demon king Atofi that Shirou had encountered before.

In the past, Shirou wouldn't have trusted the person claiming to be the Demon Emperor, but since Chisiri had just revealed that he had two souls within him, Shirou had no choice but to believe her.

Shirou recalled his memories and realized that he had heard of the name of the Demon Emperor, Kishirika Kishiri.

She was an immortal demon emperor who led the demon race in the war between humans and demons, but was defeated by the humans. She was a demon emperor who was even more ancient than the demon god Laplace.

If it's genuine, it means the other party's status is even higher than that of the immortal demon king Atofi.

However, would the true Demon Emperor collapse on the roadside due to hunger in a remote town on the edge of this demon continent?

...That's just too far-fetched.

Shirou hesitated for a moment, unable to believe that the girl in front of him was the great Demon Emperor, yet also unable to believe that she was just an ordinary girl.

While he hesitated, Chishilica had already sensed his suspicion, and widened her eyes, saying, "Hey, are you perhaps doubting my identity?!"

"In fact, it is hard to believe that you are the Demon Emperor in person."

"Tsk tsk, these young people these days have absolutely no manners! I'm only lying here because my five-hundred-year cycle hasn't ended yet, and I haven't fully recovered my strength. If I were back to my peak strength, I wouldn't be lying on the roadside like this, and my appearance and physique wouldn't be so shabby!"

"A five-hundred-year cycle?"

"Yes, the seal I suffered caused me to be resurrected 500 years after my death, and it will take another 500 years to recover my strength. I am still in the recovery period now because I have just been resurrected."

"I see."

Shirou finally believed what Chihirika said. Most importantly, she did give him a rather extraordinary feeling, unlike an ordinary demon girl.

So Shirou became a little more serious and said respectfully, "I apologize for my rudeness just now, Lady Chihirika."

"Hmph, it's alright! You saved my life, so you're allowed to make any wish you desire!"

Chishilica crossed her arms and spoke with great confidence.

Shirou hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can any wish be granted?"

"Well, actually it's not possible."

"I can't fulfill any of my wishes."

"Because it has to be something I can do."

Chisirica uttered very simple words, completely devoid of any demon king-like demeanor.

Shirou is increasingly beginning to doubt whether the other party is the real Demon Emperor.

But he wouldn't voice his doubts, only saying without much expectation, "If it really comes true, I hope to find my lost family members."

"Looking for family? What a simple wish."

"Because I'm just a simple person."

"Hehe, I can't tell that."

Chihirika smiled and spoke, her eyes sweeping over Shirou as if trying to see through him completely.

But she didn't say anything further, instead silently pondering: "Hmm, looking for family, huh? In that case, the magic eye that grants you clairvoyance should be able to solve this, right?"

"Magic Eye?"

"Yes, when it comes to what the Demon Emperor Chishirika can bestow, it's definitely the Mystic Eyes!"

Shirou was no stranger to the Mystic Eyes.

Before he traveled through time, he learned that a very small number of magicians in the world possessed a special magic eye that served a completely different purpose.

After arriving in this world, Shirou also encountered the holder of the Mystic Eyes, namely Gilead.

By chance, Shirou learns that Gilead's eyes are not actually blind; he wears the blindfold to conceal the power of his Mystic Eyes.

He also remembered that Kyrie Illusion's Mystic Eyes seemed to be able to see only magic power, specifically the fluctuations of magic power.

Although it's an ordinary ability, it can play an unexpected role in battle.

As for the clairvoyance that Chishilica just mentioned.

Could it be that we can see things thousands of miles away?
