The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

Each time she swung the wooden sword, her light green dyed hair would flutter.

Her porcelain-like skin appeared even more striking in the dim light.

A few days ago, she had invited Anya, a cat person girl whose adventurer rank was equal to Ryu's, to practice together, but afterwards, Anya refused to accept Ryu's challenge again.

"That good-for-nothing elf Ryu doesn't know how to control her strength at all, meow! She hits too hard!"

As for things like "Ryu is definitely taking her anger out on me, jealous that Anya can help Shirou train, meow," Ryu pretended not to hear any of it.

"Perhaps one day, my meager strength may be of use."

Deep in the elf girl's heart, she harbored such a thought.

She wasn't as pretty as Syr, nor as cute as Anya, and she didn't have Shirou's unwavering heart.

Now that she had even abandoned her sense of justice, perhaps her only remaining value was her martial prowess.

Accompanying the sword's slashes and upward thrusts, the girl's steps gradually began to exhibit a different rhythm.

Ryu herself didn't realize that she was unconsciously imitating the boy's movements.

Movements, footwork, attack timing, breathing rhythm... Their exceptional bodies subconsciously absorbed the essence from Wei Gong.

It seemed unbelievable, but the higher-ranking adventurers were indeed growing due to the influence of the lower-ranking adventurer, but neither Ryu nor Anya had yet realized this.

However, because she was too clumsy, several attempts ended with Shirou being seriously injured.

Now, she needed to tidy up, wash her face, and put on her uniform.

Today, she would once again serve as a waitress at the tavern, and a brand new day was about to begin.

The bright dawn sunlight and fresh air gradually improved Ryu's mood; in any case, she had at least found a reason to exist here.

"Well, the goddess said we should balance work and rest, work hard when it's time to work, and rest well when it's time to rest."

Wei Gong took the towel from the girl's hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Thank you, Syr."

"Take a good rest on the weekend; pushing yourself too hard won't do you any good in the future."

The goddess said as such, before turning to lecture Tsubaki, who wanted to take Shirou out for a drinking spree, and the blacksmiths who were trying to share discount coupons for the pleasure district with the boy.

"For me, this level of training is rest."

Shirou was telling the truth; this simple sword-swinging practice not only didn't bore him, but also brought him a sense of peace and tranquility.

The girl's silver hair was styled into a ponytail, the ends of which swayed slightly with her emotions.

Wei Gong subconsciously glanced at the girl's fair collarbone.

The last few times Syr had taken a break, Shirou had been forging swords in the Hestia Familia's workshop, and this was the first time he had seen Syr wearing these casual clothes.

Seemingly aware of the boy's actions, Syr smiled; although as the leader of the "Shirou x Ryu" party, she always held the idea of bringing the human boy and the elf girl together, she couldn't help but feel happy seeing his adorable behavior.

Ryu and Anya's days off were two days ago, coinciding with Shirou's rest day.

After working at the tavern for just under a month, her debt had increased instead of decreased, truly living up to her name as a good-for-nothing elf.

Anyway, her salary was already deducted into the negatives, so it wouldn't matter if a little more was deducted.

"Shirou, let's go on a date together with Ryu~"

Chapter 33: Encounter with Elf "Sisters"

Although it was called a "date", it wasn't the kind between lovers, but just an activity for friends to spend time together.

Shirou still remembered the kindness of Ryu and Syr in saving him, and of course Shirou wouldn't refuse the request of important friends and benefactors.

Ryu would never refuse any of Syr's requests; she held deep gratitude towards the girl, and even became the only person in the entire [Hostess of Fertility] tavern who could grit her teeth and eat Syr's "cooking".

The human boy and the elf girl walked side by side on the street, with Syr walking in front.

She deliberately walked along the edge of the sidewalk, as if playing a game where she would lose if she stepped anywhere else.

The narrow foothold forced her to walk with cat-like steps, and the girl opened her arms to maintain her balance, making "eh, eh" sounds.

In addition, his shoulders were becoming broader, his arms longer, and the muscles throughout his body were becoming more pronounced, gradually revealing a solid shape.

Thus, Wei Gong and Ryu saw a silver ponytail jumping in front of them, and through the soft hair, the girl's fair nape was faintly visible.

Feeling Wei Gong and Ryu's gazes cast over and then move away, Syr couldn't help but smile mischievously: "Ryu seems to be staring for a longer time~"

"Ah, Mr. Wei Gong."

A cute female voice interrupted Syr's mood.

The thick golden hair was as bright as blooming kerria flowers, and even brighter than her hair was the girl's smile, displaying an enthusiasm and cheerfulness that was completely unlike an elf.

The girl waved her hand and walked towards them in surprise.

"Lefiya can just call me Shirou too."

Wei Gong said politely: "May I ask, who is this?"

This was an elf girl with similar orange-gold hair to Lefiya's.

Unlike Lefiya, Alicia's demeanor was impeccable, perfectly matching people's expectations of elves—dignified and beautiful, exuding unparalleled elegance in every gesture, as if every movement had been meticulously sculpted, making people feel awe.

At the same time, her faintly visible aloofness gave people a sense of distance that was difficult to approach.

She extended her hand to Shirou, and unlike Lefiya, she wore black sleeves on her hands, covering her entire forearm.

"I've heard your name before, Shirou-kun, and I'm very grateful for your care of Lefiya."

Alicia said.

"Shirou-kun, this person is a very powerful adventurer~"

Syr quietly tugged on Shirou's sleeve from behind, whispering: "[Garden of Purity] Alicia Foreys Leiter, is a Level 4 second-tier adventurer of the Loki Familia."

"Syr, long time no see."

Alicia said to the girl.

Compared to her serious expression when facing Wei Gong, her smile towards Syr was much more affectionate.

Alicia was a very proper and pure elf, and among the gods, she had an unofficial title of "Loki Familia's Disciplinary Committee Member."

It wasn't a scary black or gray, just simply impure, or rather, not very "disciplinary"...

To this, the goddess could only sigh: "The children of the Lower World are really interesting."

After greeting Syr, Alicia quietly observed Ryu, who was following behind Wei Gong and Syr.

However, she was quite a bit taller than Syr, and an elf with such outstanding looks would be very conspicuous even if hidden in a crowd.

As one of the most powerful factions in the labyrinth city, the Loki Familia had of course already received information about [Gale], after all, she had no intention of hiding it.

The tavern's waitresses called her "Ryu" every day, and even her hair was dyed just in the last two days.

Although this elf girl in front of her had the same appearance as a certain level one wanted criminal, the same race, a similar temperament, and even carried a signature katana, and even her name was "Ryu", couldn't all of this just be a coincidence?

Because [Nine Hell] Riviria had a special skill [Fairy King Seal] that could amplify the magic of all elves, the Loki Familia was very willing to recruit elf mages, and elf girls often harbored longing for the princess.

Alicia was a cadre of the Loki Familia's mage unit.

With Level 4 strength, she was not only able to control magic, but also proficient in archery, and also skilled in the Western sword, making her a versatile all-rounder.

On the other side, Alicia, while still maintaining her upright posture, clearly raised the angle of her slender ears when she heard this topic.

She couldn't help but care when she heard the topic of love, and it was clear that even the etiquette of the elves couldn't suppress a woman's curiosity.

What exactly was the relationship between these three people?

Both elf women felt very confused.

"Well, I believe that being able to make Lefiya (an elf) praise you so much, Mr. Wei Gong must have excellent archery skills (as a human being)."

Alicia smiled lightly, answering with great grace.

"Shirou's archery is really, really amazing, more amazing than any elf I've ever seen!

I think that even Riviria-sama's archery wouldn't be stronger than Shirou's!"

Lefiya said seriously.

"Yes!"

Suddenly called by her full name by her senior, the elf girl's heart thumped, and she subconsciously stood at attention.

Her clothing, coordinated with her movements and swaying in the breeze, consisted of a short-sleeved top and shorts, easy to move in.

Ryuu always woke up early in the morning.

Although the bar was prepared to open from early in the morning, Ryuu had developed a habit of practicing with her wooden sword long before the opening preparations, while it was still before dawn.

As a former adventurer, she hadn't neglected her training, even after leaving her old profession.

After being scolded by Anya like that, Ryuu could only practice alone.

Although she didn't know what the meaning was of continuing such half-hearted training every day, even though she was no longer an adventurer, she still persisted, at least ensuring that her body wouldn't rust and she wouldn't forget the feeling of battle.

Ryuu thought to herself as she unleashed a sharp slash, her movements gradually becoming ethereal without her realizing it.

The elven girl was not wearing shoes or socks, her fair feet treading on the soft soil of the courtyard.

The forest fairy race was not accustomed to touching humans, but could find peace in contact with natural things like soil, grass, and trees.

Despite the huge difference in ability scores, it wasn't just the lower-ranked Womiya who benefited from the daily sparring.

Both Ryuu, who watched every day, and Anya, the main participant, were being subtly influenced by the boy.

"I also want to spar with Shirou."

Every time she thought about how Anya could help the boy grow while she could only watch from the sidelines, Ryuu felt a strong sense of unwillingness, and the heartache of having something important taken away.

"Sigh."

Ryuu suppressed the feeling of regret in her heart and headed towards the detached bedroom she had been assigned.

The sunrise, bringing light to the city, passed over the city walls and gradually illuminated the entire metropolis.

"Shirou, Syr, for them, I'll do my best!"

·

"Shirou, aren't you going to the familia or the dungeon today?"

A silver-haired human girl came to the boy, who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and handed him a towel.

Today was the weekend, and he had originally planned to practice forging in the workshop, but the goddess had strictly forbidden it.

He had originally planned to go to the upper levels of the dungeon, but thinking about what the goddess said made sense; he should take a good rest once in a while.

"But, Shirou is still practicing swordsmanship."

Syr put her hands on her hips, "Shouldn't you listen to the goddess and get some rest?"

"Is that so?"

Syr tilted her head.

Today was her day off, so Syr wasn't wearing her waitress uniform, but rather cute casual clothes.

A pure white long dress, without any decorations, made the girl's pretty temperament even more natural.

A gentle breeze blew, and the hem of her skirt fluttered slightly, revealing Syr's slightly tense, smooth calves, and her feet in white sandals.

For some reason, in front of Syr today, Emiya couldn't control his gaze, as if he was being seduced by some irresistible force.

The frustration caused by the uselessness of the good-for-nothing fairy and the boy constantly "attracting butterflies" outside was also relieved.

"Too bad, Ryuu has to work today..."

Syr thought.

Moreover, Mama Mia would never allow Ryuu to take a day off, because Ryuu had accidentally smashed Mia's favorite vase a few days ago.

However, even if she couldn't take a day off, skipping work was still an option.

"There's no helping it, the good-for-nothing fairy is too useless, for Ryuu's happiness, I can only be more proactive."

Syr thought as she looked at the boy.

This was the first date for Shirou Emiya since coming to this world.

Ryuu, who was accompanying them, thought so, although she also felt a faint joy in her heart for reasons she didn't even understand.

He was also willing to be a companion to the girl.

Syr had a unique temperament that allowed people to feel relaxed when they were with her, as if time stood still and peaceful days could continue endlessly.

Because of Syr's cooking skills, well, it was probably the opposite of Emiya's, and a few Mama Mia's worse than that.

"How cute."

Ryuu couldn't help but think.

The surrounding passersby also thought so, and many couldn't help but cast jealous glances at Emiya.

Since coming to this world, possibly influenced by the blessing of the gods, Emiya's body had developed extremely quickly.

His height had increased visibly.

At first, he was slightly shorter than the girl, but now he was rapidly catching up.

Unknowingly, Syr fell one step behind Shirou and Ryuu.

She quietly observed Emiya's figure, and then smiled.

She suddenly accelerated and walked in front of Shirou, jumping like.

With a few strands of hair blocking the view in between, it seemed as if the girl's skin was becoming more and more fair and transparent.

"It's more interesting than I thought..."

Syr thought, just then.

A cute elven girl greeted Emiya: "Mr. Emiya, it's been a while."

"Lefiya-san, long time no see,"

Shirou responded.

"Just call me Lefiya."

The saffron-haired elven girl naturally shook hands with Emiya, and then laughed silly.

"Hello, my name is Alicia, Alicia Forestlett."

Another elven woman introduced herself.

Alicia's lips had a gentle curve, and her slightly curled hair added a touch of maturity to her.

The strands of hair that fell on her shoulders swayed gently with her breath.

When standing with Lefiya, Alicia was like a steady older sister, exuding a calm temperament that contrasted sharply with her lively sister, complementing each other and complementing each other.

In addition, what could not be ignored was Alicia's plump figure, which was extremely rare among elves, with her curves being concave and convex, and her figure being well-proportioned and tight.

At least one Lefiya stronger than Ryuu made her "older sister" temperament even stronger.

"No, we were partners acting together at that time, it's what I should do."

Shirou said, considering the other party's elven identity, he only touched Alicia's fingers lightly, and then immediately let go.

Emiya really didn't know the other party's identity, and didn't expect that this elven woman would be such a powerful figure, but maybe he was used to being with Ryuu and Anya, and he didn't have any mood swings.

However, Alicia's image in Syr's heart was actually quite subtle.

However, a certain goddess who did not want to be named had seen that this serious elven "disciplinary committee member" had an unexpectedly impure color to her soul.

However, until now, Alicia had always maintained this serious and dignified posture, so this matter had become an interesting little secret in the heart of the goddess who could see through souls.

When she noticed that an elven member was approaching, Ryuu frowned immediately and protected Shirou and Syr in front of her.

"【Gale】Ryuu Lion, just dyeing your hair green and blatantly walking on the street..."

Alicia immediately recognized this famous member of her own race, and couldn't help but sweat for the other party's boldness.

It could be described as arrogant, lawless, blatant, and unscrupulous.

Of course, Alicia would not do anything extra, and pretended that she had not seen anything.

At least their hair colors were different.

The current Ryuu had newly dyed emerald green hair.

"Well, long time no see, Alicia-sama."

Syr returned the elven beauty's greeting with a sweet smile.

The Loki Familia was a regular at 【The Benevolent Mistress】, and most of the adventurers knew Syr.

Under the two-way rush, the Loki Familia had a unique group of elven mages, all of whom were elven beauties, which could be said to be very eye-catching, simply a paradise for elf lovers.

"Oh, Shirou, are you on a date? Are we accidentally disturbing you?"

Lefiya said belatedly, a little embarrassed, while showing a gossipy look: "Is this your girlfriend?"

"We're just ordinary friends."

Syr affectionately held Shirou's hand, and wrapped her arm around Ryuu's arm with the other hand, saying in a cute tone.

"Ah, that's right, Alicia, I forgot to say before, Shirou's archery is also very amazing."

Lefiya changed the subject somewhat stiffly, she said excitedly as if she had suddenly remembered something.

(But, after all, he's just a human.)

Syr immediately noticed Alicia's contempt, and frowned slightly unhappily, but just then—

Alicia's expression froze, she still maintained her smile, but her eyes were completely narrowed:

"Lefiya Viridis."
