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

Page 117

Nevertheless, he tried his best to ignore some of the strange and difficult-to-understand parts, and used words that the world could understand to explain everything that happened in the story.

Fortunately, this world already has knights and magic, so they are not confused by supernatural forces. Even the most abstract things like the Holy Grail War can be explained by Shirou using pure magical rituals.

In short, Shirou recounted most of what he had experienced, and revealed that in order to save Miyu, he sacrificed the chance to save the world, even turning against his former friend and destroying everything, all to save one person.

"After arriving at Bereas Castle, I often instinctively saw my sister's shadow in you, even though you two are completely different. Perhaps I'm just too lonely, and I often have this kind of illusion from time to time. The reason I'm so gentle with you, Alice, is probably because my feelings for my sister have transferred to you. I'm so despicable, unknowingly treating you as a substitute for my sister, and even trying to escape reality through this. I'm so sorry..."

Shirou finally revealed all his thoughts, expressing what he had always wanted to avoid and had been trying to escape.

"..."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Alice fell silent.

She might have been shocked by the sudden influx of information she had just received, or perhaps by the tragic story Shirou had experienced, or she might have been surprised by Shirou's sudden suggestion that he was treating her as a replacement for his sister.

In short, Alice fell silent for a brief moment.

Shirou released Alice, lowered his head in an apologetic manner, and even prepared himself for being scolded or beaten by Alice; he was prepared for that.

But the expected beating and scolding did not happen.

After sorting out the situation and realizing everything, Alice couldn't help but purse her lips: "What? So you were treating me like a little sister."

"Yes, what I did was too selfish."

"What do you mean by selfish? I've always thought of you as an older brother."

"what?"

Upon hearing Alice's words, Shirou looked up in surprise.

Alice blushed slightly and spoke with a hint of embarrassment:

"Actually, I should have an older brother. Although my father has been keeping it from me, I can sense some things about the family and I can also sense that I am not my mother's first child. I have also fantasized about what would happen if my brother suddenly came back one day. Would I have another person to dote on me? Or maybe he would just be an annoying jerk."

“I’ve thought about a lot of things, but unfortunately none of them came true. I’m still alone. Maybe it’s because my expectations were dashed that I’ve felt a little disappointed in the past. But after you came, Shirou, especially after you saved me, I often fantasized that you might be my brother in the capital. After all, look, we both have red hair.”

As Alice spoke, she proudly displayed her fiery red hair.

Shirou scratched his head and nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Alice then quietly spoke up: "Anyway, we're actually the same. I've unconsciously come to think of you as my brother. In fact, if I had a real brother, I feel like you'd be better. I'd much rather have a brother like you! Yes, that's right!"

Alice became happier and happier as she talked, but at the same time she became more and more embarrassed.

Shirou jokingly replied, "In that case, why don't I really become your older brother?"

"Huh? Really?!"

"??"

Shirou hadn't expected Alice to react so strongly. He had only said it casually, but now he realized that Alice might be serious.

Looking at Alice, he hesitated before speaking, "If I could have you as my sister, Alice, I would certainly be very happy, but the Boreas family..."

Before Shirou could finish speaking, Alice excitedly threw herself into his arms and exclaimed:

"Great! I have a brother now! Shirou, you can be my brother!"

"Alice..."

Seeing Alice's overly happy and excited appearance, Shirou didn't want to interrupt her, so he could only smile wryly and pat her head.

The two then continued to talk about each other.

Shirou inquired about the Boreas family, especially about Alice's two brothers, and roughly understood Boreas's current situation.

Alice, on the other hand, was very curious about the story Shirou had just told about the past, and kept pestering him to tell her exactly where in the world it happened.

Shirou really didn't know how to describe it. He could only say that it was a very, very far place, a distance that couldn't be reached on foot, so it was basically impossible for him to see his real sister.

After officially establishing their sibling relationship, their bond clearly progressed further.

But because of this, Shirou and Alice relaxed a bit and fell asleep on the bed while chatting.

The next day, the maid knocked on the door as usual to tidy the room, only to find the two of them sleeping in bed, embracing each other.

In no time, all sorts of rumors spread throughout the entire Boreas family!

Chapter 172 Shirou battles Gilead again! On to the Sacred Land of Swords!

"Congratulations, Shirou. I didn't expect you to make your move on my daughter so quickly. Shouldn't you call me father-in-law now?"

The next day, at breakfast time in Boreas, Philippe spoke with a broad smile.

"puff!"

"Cough cough!!"

Upon hearing the other party's words, Shirou and Alice choked during their meal and glared at the actual controller of the Boreas family.

This morning, after Shirou and Alice woke up, they noticed the strange situation at the entire Boreas Castle.

Most of the people in the castle were looking at the two of them with very strange eyes, and some maids even secretly gave Alice some tips on contraception.

Even though Alice was naive, she immediately realized the situation when faced with such blunt words, understanding that most people had misunderstood what had happened between her and Shirou the night before.

Alice and Shirou were undoubtedly the first to offer explanations and clarifications regarding all of this.

Seeing their sincere attitude, people finally believed that nothing had actually happened between them the night before.

At least I'm willing to believe that nothing happened to them.

So, when Philip brought up this topic at breakfast, it was clearly a joke and a way of teasing the two of them.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding."

Philip quickly suppressed his mischievous smile. He clearly knew Shirou well and knew that the other wouldn't do anything to Alice at a time like last night. But he still spoke calmly, "I think you and Alice are quite a good match. Even if you can't do it now, you can do anything to Alice in a few years. I've given you my permission in advance."

"Father!!"

Alice couldn't help but explode at Philip's words.

But her attitude wasn't that she disliked Philip's statement; it was just the simple embarrassment of a young girl.

On the other hand, Shirou spoke with a serious expression regarding Philip's attitude: "I would not do such a thing. To me, Alice is like a sister. I will protect her and will do everything in my power as long as I live."

"elder brother……"

Shirou's words made Alice blush.

After what happened last night, Alice has changed how she addresses Shirou, now calling him "brother".

Philip was already aware of this, but he didn't say anything more. He just smiled at Shirou, as if everything was understood without being said.

The only one with mixed feelings at the scene was Hilda.

Yesterday, she was bewitched and made Alice seduce Shirou, trying to force him into becoming a member of the Boreas family.

Looking back, she realized that her behavior was too radical and crazy, so she apologized to Shirou and Alice the very next morning.

Shirou and Alice can understand Hilda's desire for a son.

After Shirou proposed to become Alice's brother, Hilda was genuinely happy and excitedly hugged him.

how to say.

Shirou felt that Hilda was a good mother in every way, but the problem was that her heart was too big. Just one hug made him feel suffocated from the bottom of his heart.

Shirou couldn't help but miss Senis, his mother; at least Senis's hugs weren't so unbearable.

Unlike Philip and Hilda, Salos was clearly the most confused about the situation. The old man had drunk himself into a stupor after the banquet yesterday and fell asleep without knowing anything.

Now that he suddenly learned that Shirou had become his grandson, he was both stunned and happy. As a result, he got drunk again early in the morning and was dragged back to his room to rest by the maid.

In short, the Boreas family's breakfast time officially came to an end.

After Shirou habitually helped the maids clear away the dishes, he didn't immediately begin his morning exercise. Instead, he went straight to Kyrie.

As Shirou handed the extra breakfast he had prepared to Kyrie Io, he said, "Kyrie Io, I have mastered the true Blade of Light."

"Oh?"

Kyrie Illya was excitedly eating the food Shirou had made.

As a beastman, she was naturally gluttonous, and her appetite was often stronger than her sex drive. Shirou's cooking was the ultimate enjoyment for her; in other words, it was a hundred times more pleasurable than ejaculation.

In short, Kyrie was very enthusiastic about Shirou's cooking. She was eating with great concentration and never expected to hear such words. As a result, she couldn't help but drop the yakiniku roll in her hand to the ground.

But Gilead made it clear that she didn't mind the food getting dirty. Based on the three-second rule, she immediately picked up the roast meat roll, stuffed it into her stomach without even wiping it.

"You've mastered the Blade of Light?"

After Kyrie I finished tasting the delicious food, he looked at Shirou with considerable surprise.

She clearly hadn't expected Shirou to master the Blade of Light so quickly.

While Shirou's talent is indeed remarkable, the Blade of Light is the most fundamental foundation of the Sword God Style, something that requires countless hours and extensive repetitive practice to master.

It typically takes a high-level swordsman five to ten years to master the true Light Blade.

Even the most talented individuals would need at least two years.

While it has been several years since Shirou became a master swordsman, it has only been about two years since the other party actually started learning the Light Blade.

Therefore, Shirou's progress was clearly beyond Gilead's expectations.

"I guess so, at least I feel like I did it."

Shirou didn't dare to make any definitive statements.

Because he had seen Kyrie Il's Blade of Light, which was far faster than the techniques he had mastered.

Of course, this is because Gilead is a Sword King. Although both are swords of light, Gilead is definitely faster than most swords of light!

After confirming that Shirou was not lying, Kyrie wasted no time and took Shirou directly to the Boreas family's training ground.

The knights and mercenaries on the training ground were doing their morning exercises when they saw the Sword King arrive. They all showed respect and deference, and they also showed their approval and respect for Shirou.

After all, although Shirou's strength was not as great as Kyrie's, the achievements he made after joining the Boreas family were in no way inferior. He not only saved Alice once, but also saved Princess Ariel and saved the entire Boreas family. In this era, he could even be said to be at the level that bards would sing his praises for.

At this moment, Shirou and Kyrie Irvine have both arrived at the training ground, an unusual event that has naturally attracted the attention of the entire Boreas family.

Alice was in etiquette class when she heard the news. Without hesitation, she skipped class and rushed over to check on the situation.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kyrie Irvine spoke without wavering: "Then let me witness whether you have truly mastered the Blade of Light, Shirou."

"Okay, Gilead."

There was no further dialogue.

Shirou and Kyrie each drew their own weapons, instead of using the wooden swords they had trained with.

This is because the Sword God School, founded by Kyrie Irvine, requires that, in addition to daily practice, when it comes to truly assessing one's strength, one must engage in a real sword fight.

Kyrie Irwin's weapon is one of the Seven Swords of the Sword God given to her by the Sword God School, called "Hiramune". This sword is one of the forty-eight Holy Demon Swords forged by Julian Jalisco. It is a weapon that only those at the Sword King level or above of the Sword God School can obtain. In essence, it can even be said to be a symbol of a Sword King-level powerhouse.

As the world's strongest swordsmanship school, the Sword God School is naturally extremely enthusiastic about collecting weapons. Among them are not only the Holy Demon Sword forged by Julian Jalisco, but also the Dragon Sword forged by the legendary Dragon Emperor, and even some weapons made by master craftsmen. Muramasa's weapons are also included in the collection.

In contrast, the weapon Shirou took out was naturally the replica of the Demon Sword [Finger Breaker], [Finger Breaker], which was given to him by the Boreas family through Alice on their behalf.

As a replica, the oppressive aura of the Wind Breaker is naturally not as strong as that of the genuine Heimune Demon Sword.

Even so, once Shirou held it in his hand, his movements and aura spread out with remarkable precision.

"..."

When Giren saw Shirou's appearance, his expression became slightly serious.

Although the two appeared to be some distance apart, they actually felt as if they were face to face, competing against each other at extremely close range.

In fact, given the speed of the Sword God style, the distance between the two is not that different.

What seems like a long distance can actually be crossed in an instant.

For a moment, everyone present held their breath.

Everyone was watching Shirou and Kyrielight's movements intently, eager to witness the spectacular nature of their clash.

however--

"Kacha!"

The screen suddenly flashed.

Everyone felt that their vision had been slightly interrupted.

The visual system clearly captured a continuous sequence of images.
