And through the conversation with Hephaestus, Shirou Emiya also knew that elves only allow objects of recognition to touch their skin.
He has always kept a considerable distance from Liu.
Even when taking over the chopsticks, Emiya Shirou kept a certain distance from Ryu.
However, if two people go to explore the dungeon, the efficiency of clearing monsters and collecting will be much greater than that of one person alone.
If that's the case, I should be able to see in advance what the deeper dungeons look like.
Although Shirou Emiya has become more calm than before, it does not mean that his curiosity has disappeared without a trace.
It's just that compared to simple curiosity, Shirou Emiya cares about many more aspects.
If the purpose is to obtain more materials and magic crystals, it is enough for Shirou Emiya at this stage.
Those deeper materials are sold in Orario.
Otherwise, Shirou Emiya only needed materials within the sixteenth floor and would not need to spend so much money.
However, with Emiya Shirou's current financial resources, he no longer needs to continue exploring for those materials.
Money can buy almost everything.
"So you agreed?"
"It will definitely be easier to explore the dungeon if we have a team!"
Emiya Shirou nodded in response to Ciel's question.
"That's good. When are you going to go to the dungeon next time?"
"the day after tomorrow!"
The night eventually passes.
As the stars disappeared, the sky gradually began to brighten.
The sun hadn't even had time to rise in the east yet, but there were already a few adventurers heading towards the dungeon.
Some vendors have already found their own stalls and started preparing what they are going to sell today.
At the edge of the horizon, a little light had already descended, and dawn was about to come.
The birds' calls echoed clearly and loudly.
The dewdrops on the leaves also slowly fell down, flashing fluorescent light.
A hint of fresh cool air that only exists in the morning permeates between heaven and earth, enveloping the perfectly circular city.
Shirou Emiya was one of these early adventurers.
It's not because Emiya Shirou is going to the dungeon now.
But he has always had the habit of getting up early.
Even when he stayed up late at home to practice his enhancement magic and projection magic, Sakura would wake him up in the morning.
Now that Sakura is not there to wake him up, Emiya Shirou will also get up early to exercise.
The night training is to teach myself various magic tricks, as well as some new ideas for my own magic tricks.
After using [King of Punishment] to make the spear pierce through the enemy's body.
Shirou Emiya has been thinking whether he can make his sword burst out from the enemy's body like [King of Punishment].
However, the length of the sword is naturally not as long as the iron stake, and it is not realistic to shoot it from underground.
It is also impossible for him to project directly into the entity.
However, the sword of the Infinite Sword that he had unleashed was inserted into the ground, making it difficult to achieve the effect of [King of Death Penalty].
At this moment, Shirou Emiya remembered the time when he condensed the Infinite Sword System to his side to block Esdeath from releasing her Noble Phantasm.
Perhaps he could condense his Infinite Sword System into one object, have it hit the inside of the enemy's body, and then deploy his Infinite Sword System.
However, there are still two problems with Shirou Emiya's idea.
The first is that he is currently unable to compress the Infinite Sword System to that degree, and the second is that Shirou Emiya has not found any carrier that can carry the Infinite Sword System that he has compressed.
In the morning, that's when Shirou Emiya would train his swordsmanship and archery.
It can be said that Shirou Emiya has basically mastered Chiron's teachings. If he wants to make a breakthrough in archery, he can only seek new opportunities.
As for swordsmanship, there are so many things that Shirou Emiya doesn't know.
[Arthur], [Siegfried], [Mordred], [Akagome], [Esdeath], [Toudou Touka], [Kurogatsu Ikki], [Edward] and so on.
Even now, a year has passed, and Shirou Emiya still has not reached their level in swordsmanship.
If they were to fight, Shirou Emiya might be able to compete with him with his projection magic, and even have a huge advantage in many cases.
If it were simply a competition of swordsmanship, Emiya Shirou might only be able to compete with Akame and Esdeath.
Shirou Emiya is not a swordsmanship genius. Even if he can learn sword skills, there is no way for him to surpass the swordsmanship level of those who have mastered it for decades or even a lifetime in just one year.
What's more, some of them are several times more talented in swordsmanship than Shirou Emiya.
Of course, when it comes to archery, Shirou Emiya is able to master various forms of archery in a very short period of time.
Shirou Emiya would not be disappointed or lost because he does not have such outstanding talent in kendo.
Because now Shirou Emiya's swordsmanship has already reached a level that ordinary people can only dream of.
“Emiya!!!”
A familiar voice came from behind Emiya Shirou.
Aina was seen waving her hands and jogging towards Shirou Emiya in a white long skirt.
"Don't worry, isn't it time to gather yet?"
Shirou Emiya quickly supported Eina who ran over breathlessly, and asked with a worried look on his face.
"I just didn't expect you to come so early, Emiya. I've already been here half an hour early!"
Aina looked at Shirou Emiya somewhat embarrassedly, she couldn't have imagined that there would be men who would gather at the destination so early in advance.
Then a smile appeared on his lips again.
"Could it be that you, Emiya, are looking forward to us going to the bookstore together?"
Although their purpose was to go to the bookstore to look up the history before the advent of the gods thousands of years ago, when a man and a woman meet alone like this, it would be easy for them to think of it as a date.
Chapter 439: Bullying is what Emiya hates most
But who is Shirou Emiya? He didn't understand the teasing meaning in Aina's words at all.
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
Emiya Shirou nodded very honestly.
"Eh!"
Now it was Aegina's turn to blush.
But what Shirou Emiya was looking forward to was seeing the history of a thousand years ago.
As for why Shirou Emiya wanted to know the connection between this world and the mythology of his own world but did not look into the history of a thousand years after the advent of the gods.
These gods have been active in this world for thousands of years. There is no need to look through so much history. Shirou Emiya only needs to ask Hephaestus.
The gods who still walk in the underworld are living history books, although they do not know many details of events.
But she still remembers the big events.
Moreover, in this world, it seems that all the gods recorded in his own world have appeared.
There are not only gods in the three major Western mythology systems.
"Well! Well! It's a rare opportunity for me to come out, and I'm really looking forward to it—"
Aina calmed her breathing, lowered her head, and gently tucked the hair in front of her behind her ears.
"Doesn't Aegina have any downtime when she's working in the guild?"
Hearing what Aina said, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but ask.
"Not really. The guild's vacation time is very generous. After all, I am not the only one running the entire guild. The absence of one or two people will not cause any big impact. Basically, as long as you submit a vacation application, it will be approved."
Basically, just like adventurers, the guild does not restrict employees' rest time, and basically the guild will allow them to rest if they want.
Of course, if you take a day off, you won’t get paid for that day.
"In that case, can't we come out and relax more often?"
"On the one hand, I really like this job. I feel sad when I see adventurers lose important companions, and I feel happy when I see them get excited because of their improved abilities. I feel worried when I see new adventurers recklessly break into dungeons—"
And when Aina spoke of the new adventurers, she glared at Shirou Emiya fiercely.
"It seems that you like this job very much-"
Emiya Shirou also sighed out loud, being able to clearly see Aina's love for the job.
"of course!"
Aina also puffed out her chest with pride.
"Although there is another reason——"
She muttered quietly, apparently not wanting Emiya Shirou to hear.
But with Shirou Emiya's hearing ability, he still heard it clearly, but he didn't ask out loud.
If Aina wanted to tell herself, she would definitely say that there was no point in asking such questions.
Unless it is something very important, something involving life and death.
In this regard, Emiya Shirou and Sakura are very similar. Unless it is a matter of principle, they will wait for the other party to speak instead of asking themselves.
This is also why Shirou Emiya didn't know that Ryu was an adventurer. He was not interested in other people's secrets. Who doesn't have his own secrets?
In front of Hephaestus, Emiya Shirou had no curiosity about the face under the mask.
It's not that Emiya Shirou didn't reveal his curiosity to Hephaestus, but that he truly had no curiosity at all.
Shirou Emiya can clearly distinguish what things you can be curious about and what things you should not be curious about.
"boom--!"
However, just as Shirou Emiya and Aina were heading towards the bookstore, a loud noise was heard from the alley.
"!"
Shirou Emiya frowned and headed towards the location where the sound came from.
And Aina also followed behind Shirou Emiya.
She understood what exactly happened inside, and this kind of thing was almost an iron rule that could not be changed in this world.
"Boy! If you don't want to suffer physical pain, hand over the money!!!"
A huge hole appeared next to the young man who was lying on the ground with tattered clothes.
He looked at the extremely sturdy men in front of him with extreme horror.
Their eyes showed disdain for the young man.
"Aegina, hide!"
Shirou Emiya whispered to the person beside him, and after seeing Aina hiding behind a cover, Shirou Emiya walked towards the group of people without any hesitation.
"Heh! Isn't this the recently famous Ungifted Adventurer?"
When they saw Emiya Shirou approaching, there was not a trace of panic in their expressions.
There was even a proud smile on his face.
His eyes were full of contempt, as if he didn't take Emiya Shirou seriously at all.
Just secretly put your hands behind your back——
A silver light appeared in his hands.
"I won't be defeated by a guy like you who doesn't even have any gifts like those losers!"
