Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

"Boss, how do you sell these vegetables?"

Emiya Shirou looked at Jeanne who was staring at the ingredients.

He walked up to the boss and asked.

Emiya Shirou is very familiar with dealing with people at these stalls. When he was in Fuyuki City, Emiya basically went out to buy ingredients by himself.

But later on, Sakura would bring some ingredients with her every time she came to her home, or go shopping with her, so she rarely went to buy ingredients alone.

Although this is not Fuyuki City, and it stands to reason that the residents of Romania cannot understand Japanese, Fiore had already thought of Emiya and gave Emiya Shirou a pamphlet.

Magic is engraved on it. If you carry it with you, the words you speak will be automatically translated into the local language. Almost all languages ​​in the world are recorded on the booklet.

It was precisely because of this that Shirou Emiya was able to communicate normally with the residents of Tulifas.

As for Joan of Arc, the Holy Grail has given her knowledge, so there is no need to worry about her inability to communicate.

Shirou Emiya naturally has the money given to him by the Yggdomirenia clan. For most magicians, money is basically useless, except for some very poor families who must sell gems to survive. outside.

Most magicians are extremely wealthy.

Of course, the family that had to sell the gems was once very wealthy, even richer than most magicians.

After all, gems are not that cheap.

"No, no, no"

Seeing Emiya Shirou planning to buy the food just because she saw it, she immediately blushed slightly and shook her head in embarrassment.

Jeanne quickly moved her hands and said to Emiya Shirou.

“I’m just amazed at the abundance of food in this era, and even though I’ve seen it a few times before, it’s still incredible.”

Joan of Arc is not Artoria. As a heroic spirit, she has almost no need for food. If it weren't for the fact that she relied on the summons, Joan of Arc would not need to eat.

"Is that so?"

Emiya Shirou held his chin in thought and began to recall the knowledge in the books he had not read for a long time.

"Ruler used to grow his own food, so he must cherish the hard-won food."

Joan of Arc was also born as a village girl, and she basically did all the farm work at home. She was well aware of the hardships of farming.

"That's one of the reasons."

Jeanne smiled slightly and did not refute Emiya Shirou.

"However, the most important reason is that in the era I lived in, food was extremely precious. Many times wars were fought for food. But now that food is so plentiful, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart."

Most people born in this era don't have to worry about food, and Joan of Arc would naturally be happy about this.

Emiya Shirou could see Jeanne looking around and shouting, and there was tenderness in the eyes of the people coming and going.

She is genuinely happy for the happiness of others.

Shirou Emiya, who knows history, naturally understands how Jeanne d'Arc ends.

Such a tragic ending made Emiya feel heartbroken.

You must know that Joan of Arc was only 19 years old at that time.

But when I heard Joan of Arc's words, she had such a watchful look in her eyes.

Emiya Shirou was also sincerely happy that Jeanne could be so happy, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously.

After all, he himself is also a person who is happy because of the happiness of others.

Chapter 188 There will be no pursuit of the Holy Grail

"Um?"

Jeanne noticed Shirou Emiya's gaze and looked in his direction.

He seemed to feel a little strange and asked.

"Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me and smiling?"

"No, it's nothing."

Emiya Shirou waved his hand quickly.

"Is it really nothing?"

The more Emiya Shirou tried to hide his face, the more Jeanne doubted that there was something on her face, otherwise why would Emiya Shirou smile.

Thinking like this, Jeanne touched her face.

Emiya Shirou looked at Jeanne touching his cheek with both hands, dumbfounded.

"Here, there's a little bug————"

Emiya had no choice but to reach out and pretend to scratch Jeanne's face as if nothing was wrong, and then release the non-existent [bug].

"You didn't tell me earlier, and you still laughed secretly. How embarrassed you would be if the stall owner saw you like this."

"..."

The stall owner didn't want to say anything. Wasn't he asking about the price just now? What was he doing now?

What's more, you really don't have anything on your face. Is this some new type of coquettishness?

The stall owner said that I couldn't understand it, but he was very shocked.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

The stall owner immediately coughed three times. Joan of Arc still had good looks, and she still exuded a sacred aura. Standing on the street was a beautiful sight in itself.

I don’t know how many passers-by stopped in place because of Joan of Arc. The stall owner thought that although it was good to have so many people, they would embarrass themselves if they didn’t buy anything.

“————————”

Emiya Shirou also discovered that something was wrong and quickly bought ingredients from the boss.

"Mr. Emiya, if you don't mind, may I ask you what your wish is to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Jane, who was carrying a large bag of food in one hand, asked Shirou Emiya. Everyone who could participate in the Holy Grail War had their own long-cherished wish.

Although Shirou Emiya had noble qualities that made Jeanne admire him, he could not escape his desire for the Holy Grail.

"Ruler, you should call me Shirou. You are older than me, and it always feels weird to call me sir."

Shirou Emiya scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Fiore didn't feel anything when she called herself that, perhaps because she was the next patriarch of the Yugdomirenia clan, so she didn't feel anything.

"Shirou?"

Jeanne tried to call her that, and it was indeed much better than the title of Mr. Emiya.

"I don't have the desire to pursue the Holy Grail. If I have to, I want to stop the Holy Grail War."

Shirou Emiya's answer was beyond Jeanne's expectation.

She didn't expect that Shirou Emiya's purpose of participating in the Holy Grail War was to stop the Holy Grail War.

But if we win and obtain the Holy Grail, doesn't that mean the Holy Grail War will be stopped?

So Jeanne actually understood a little, but not completely.

Does Shirou want to win in the end?

But he doesn't look like a person who is eager for victory.

Jeanne's heart was full of questions.

"The Holy Grail War caused too much damage, both to people and things."

Shirou Emiya walked on the street and looked in the direction of the previous battle, his eyes full of determination and worry.

Although Jeanne and the magicians of the Yugdomirenia clan cleaned up the battlefield, it was just a trick performed by magic.

In fact, the plain that looked lush and green was already full of potholes and full of traces of battle.

The magician was not strong enough to restore the plain to its original appearance so easily, and could only cover it up, making it look like there had been no battle.

If it could be restored, the battle in Fuyuki City would not have been covered up by gas explosions all the time, and it would only need to be repaired after the battle.

But obviously this is difficult to do.

Not to mention the town that was completely destroyed on the edge of Tulifas, and the hundreds of people who died.

Shirou Emiya didn't want those people to die like this, nor did he want these things to be destroyed like this.

"The Holy Grail War is only convenient for those magicians, but it is a disaster for ordinary people, whether it is the price of their lives or the price of their things."

It's not easy for everyone to live in this world, and they can only sigh that their things are destroyed like this.

It's just like the feeling when seeing Superman smashing his car that he just divided into 36 periods at the bad guys.

"I want to stop all the Holy Grail Wars in the world, and this Holy Grail War is the last Holy Grail War."

Shirou Emiya wants to stop the Holy Grail War, not to stop this Holy Grail War.

He wants to stop all Holy Grail Wars and stop this meaningless fight.

He naturally knows that there are many subspecies of Holy Grail Wars in this world, and Danic has also told him some knowledge about the Holy Grail War.

Subspecies Holy Grail War is obviously among them.

"Really?"

Jeanne seemed to understand what Shirou Emiya was thinking. When she knew that all the residents of that town had died, she was left with only anger.

But she couldn't rush into the town of Tolifas during the day to catch Assassin. She couldn't take the risk of exposing the Holy Grail War and the lives of the residents to capture Assassin.

Daytime is the time for residents to move around. If a war breaks out, there will be many casualties.

At night, because of magic, the residents either fall asleep or stay at home, so Jeanne can fight without fear.

At least compared to the daytime when the streets are full of civilians, it is better to move at night.

"Ruler, what about you?"

Emiya also asked Jeanne. He had only seen Jeanne in history books and was very interested in the thoughts of the Heroic Spirits themselves.

"Call me Jeanne, Shirou."

Since Shirou Emiya asked her to call him by his name, Jeanne also hoped that Shirou Emiya would not call her job like that. After all, the job does not represent herself.

Although under normal circumstances, Saber has become the exclusive name of Altria in Shirou Emiya's mouth.

"I don't have any wishes for the Holy Grail. If I really have my own wishes, the Holy Grail will not summon me. The Holy Grail will not summon a servant that affects the normal operation of the Holy Grail War as a ruler."

Jeanne answered Shirou Emiya very seriously.

Since she appeared as a Ruler, she must be fair and just, without any selfishness, and will not have any wishes.

Although she did not do it fairly and justly many times, she is not a machine after all. She has her own standards in her heart, and it is difficult to be truly fair and just by using her own standards.

However, she did not have any wishes to deliver the Holy Grail. She had no regrets about her life. Even if the ending was like that, Jeanne accepted it wholeheartedly.

Chapter 189 The Purpose of the Holy Grail

"Can I only say that she is worthy of being a saint?"

Emiya responded to Jeanne with a smile. Such close contact with historical figures allowed Shirou Emiya to have a deeper understanding of what kind of person Jeanne was.

"No, I never thought that I was a person worthy of being believed by others. After all, no matter what my purpose was, my hands were already stained with blood."

Joan of Arc looked at the clouds in the distance with some sadness. In order to defend her homeland, she would never regret standing up to resist those invaders. Even if she experienced it once, she would still kill those who invaded her country.

But she still felt resentful about killing others. No matter what the reason was, Joan of Arc believed that she had to bear this sin.

Then Joan of Arc seemed to remember something, looked at Shirou Emiya on the side, and said in a blaming tone.

"But you are not qualified to say that to me."

Seriously injured, with a broken body, even if he fainted in the next second, he relied on his consciousness to stand firm on the battlefield, constantly looking for the surviving androids.

You must know that saving people is much more difficult than killing people, not to mention that Shirou Emiya is on the battlefield of heroes, and he will be covered by the aftermath if he is not careful.
