There was a flash of silver light, and the kitchen knife on the kitchen shelf was picked up by Shirou Emiya and swung in the air in a perfect arc, and was finally firmly caught by his right hand.
Then Emiya Shirou quickly placed the vegetables he had washed on the chopping board, and with a very rhythmic sound, the vegetables were turned into very regular strips.
"Hey--!"
Shirou Emiya took out the pot from the cabinet below, cleaned it, filled it with water, and added the seasoning he had just prepared. After the water temperature was about right, he put the vegetables in batches, stirred them evenly, and added some salt for seasoning.
“It tastes good!”
Shirou Emiya scooped up some of the soup with a spoon, put it on a small plate and took a sip. The saltiness was just right. Now all he had to do was boil it to bring out all the flavors of the vegetables.
"Ding--!"
Emiya looked to the side and heard the sound of rice being steamed.
He gently opened the lid, and a refreshing rice aroma wafted out.
"Wait for the rice to cool down first."
As Emiya Shirou was thinking this, he heard some noise behind him.
"Well--!"
Shana seemed to be awakened by the sound of cooking. She got up from the bed in a daze and looked around with a confused look on her face.
It is still very early, only half past six. Obviously, now is not the time when Shana is normally awake.
Emiya Shirou quickly took off his apron, placed it on the stage, walked to Shana, pulled up her pajamas that had slipped off her body, and buttoned it up.
While Shana was still confused, Emiya Shirou somehow very skillfully grabbed her shoulders, lifted her up, and placed the slippers beside her at her feet.
Then he quickly took it to the bathroom, took out a new toothbrush, and squeezed toothpaste on the bristles.
Pulling her arms, she held the toothbrush in her hands and brushed the foam around her mouth.
At this moment, Shana didn't know why, but her whole spirit seemed to be completely free, without any resistance at all.
After letting Shana spit out the mouthwash in her mouth, Emiya Shirou mixed the freshly boiled hot water and cold water, put a new towel in, and carefully washed her face.
Then he took out a comb from somewhere, looked at the mirror on the sink, and combed Shana's hair, which had become messy due to sleep, until it was smooth.
After finishing these things, Shirou Emiya suddenly remembered that he was still cooking miso soup.
He quickly took Shana out of the bathroom and placed her on a mat next to the low table.
And on the low table, Shana's clothes were neatly arranged.
I guess when I got up and was tidying up the bedding, I saw some clothes placed in a mess nearby and started to tidy them up.
Even Alastair was neatly placed next to Shana's clothes.
Shirou Emiya quickly turned off the pot of cooking miso soup, scooped out a small spoonful onto a small plate, blew on it, and tasted it gently.
A rich fragrance with a slight sweetness filled Shirou Emiya's entire mouth.
"The time is just right."
Shirou Emiya nodded, then looked at the rice beside him and reached out to feel the temperature of it. It was no longer as hot as before and the temperature had dropped.
After putting on the gloves, Shirou Emiya wet them with boiling water, took a pinch of salt mixed with white sesame seeds, and covered his entire palm with salt. Then, Shirou Emiya spread a bowl of freshly cooked rice on his palm and gently kneaded it into a ball.
After a while, Emiya Shirou placed miso soup and rice balls in front of Shana, who had just changed her clothes.
"I'm gonna start now"
"I'm gonna start now"
After Emiya Shirou finished speaking, Shana followed suit and began to eat.
"Shana..."
A steady voice came from in front of Shana.
Alastor quickly accepted the name Shana gave him. Even though he had lived for a long time, when he saw Shirou Emiya doing all the washing for Shana with an expressionless face, to be honest, he was quite frightened.
Putting aside why Shirou Emiya was so skilled in these things, the fact that Shana didn't resist at all from beginning to end made Alastor at a loss for words.
On the one hand, Shana is able to take care of herself. She can do things like washing and brushing her teeth by herself and does not need any help from others. She can understand and apply a lot of common sense.
The second aspect is that with Shana's personality, how could she allow herself to be manipulated by Shirou Emiya like a puppet? In any case, Alastor didn't quite believe his own eyes.
What's even more strange is that all the things that Shirou Emiya did, including urging Shana to wash and dress, actually felt normal.
You have to know that he is just a 15,16 or -year-old high school student. Is this a common thing in modern society?
Alastair began to fall into deep thought. Was it because he had not had a new contractor to go out and see the outside world for too long? Had humans become different from what he knew?
Is this my problem?
Alastair gave up thinking.
Chapter 236: A fight triggered by a breakfast?
"Ah!!!!!!!!! I'm going to kill you!!!!"
After finishing breakfast, Shana suddenly became much more alert. Looking at Shirou Emiya who was cleaning up the dishes and tidying up his bedding in front of her, she immediately remembered what had just happened.
A ball of bright red flame burst out from her body, and everything around her suddenly became still, except for Emiya Shirou in front of her.
At this time, Shana was holding a flaming large sword in her hand.
Hot powder was flying around his body.
The black hair turned red the moment the power was released and fluttered in the air.
The clothes were floating in the air current.
A pair of eyes like burning flames stared at Emiya Shirou with extreme shame and anger.
Her face instantly flushed.
He raised the large sword in his hand and was about to chop at Emiya Shirou.
"Hey! What are you doing? It's dangerous to just randomly hack people like this!"
Emiya Shirou put down the quilt in his hand and gently turned sideways, dodging Shana's sudden slash.
This slash did not have much power, it was just a casual swing by Shana. Even if it hit Shirou Emiya, it would only leave a scratch, and even a normal person would recover in a few days.
Shana just wanted to teach Shirou Emiya a lesson.
Of course, the lesson is secondary. The main thing is that Shana has no way to ignore the endless shame and anger in her heart and she has to vent it.
And Shirou Emiya is the best target for her to vent her anger.
Although this was just a casual slash, ordinary people had no way of dodging it.
Shana suddenly remembered the sword arrows shot by Shirou Emiya that were faster than bullets. She had forgotten that the human in front of her was not an ordinary human, but a human with the power to fight against the Crimson Demon King.
"I'm telling you, come and fight me!"
Shana inserted the large sword in her hand into the floor and spoke to Emiya Shirou with a stern expression.
Emiya Shirou, who was about to criticize Shana for inserting the Odachi into the floor, was also stunned.
However, seeing her expression becoming serious, Emiya Shirou did not choose to refuse. He also wanted to know the strength of the girl in front of him.
Misaki City, on the banks of the Shinan River.
Next to the slowly flowing river, Shirou Emiya and Shana came here after cleaning up the house.
The nearest wide and sparsely populated area is next to the Zhennanchuan River.
If it is sunset, there will be many couples coming to the grass here to enjoy the cool air.
There are also literary girls who come here to express their emotions, or fantasize about some wonderful encounters.
As long as the situation where potato chips are half price in the supermarket over there doesn't happen, everything will be fine.
However, it is not the dusk with a gentle breeze, but the morning with the scorching sun rising. Everyone is basically going to work or school on the main road, so there are not so many people passing by here.
Shana reached out her hand under the cloak-like black clothes.
In fact, that black robe is not an ordinary item, but a treasure unique to the Fire Mist Warrior who has signed a contract with Alastair, named Yokasa.
It can synchronize with the user's will, can change at will within the scope of cognition, and also has the functions of defense and storage.
This is why Shana can draw out her weapon, Zhidianzana, anytime and anywhere.
Unfortunately, the set of holy relics on Shirou Emiya does not have such a convenient function. Although they are all in the shape of cloaks, there are great differences in their functions and shapes.
"Trace on"
The Reverse Blade appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand. This was a weapon forged by Shirou Emiya himself, and it was also the only weapon of Shirou Emiya that was not intended to hurt people.
Seeing that the blade of the samurai sword in Shirou Emiya's hand was reversed, Shana couldn't help but ask.
"Why is the blade of your knife facing you?"
"When people are killed, they die. Whether they are trying to protect themselves or resist evil, there is no way to change what they have done."
It is atonement, and also a way to stop yourself from hurting others just for the sake of survival.
Shirou Emiya still cannot forget the eyes of those warriors on the battlefield who wanted to devour him, nor can he forget the eyes of those who were killed by him who hated him.
"Everyone has a past that they cannot talk about."
A steady voice came from in front of Shana. Alastor expressed his understanding to Emiya Shirou and let such a heavy topic pass.
Hearing Emiya Shirou saying these things, Shana felt annoyed for some reason. She didn't understand what kind of emotion Emiya Shirou was expressing at this moment.
She had never seen anyone's emotions so complicated, and what annoyed Shana was not the emotions expressed by Shirou Emiya, but the fact that she could not understand such emotions.
"Fight!"
The confrontation between swords is an emotional catharsis and the best way to communicate emotions.
At least, that's what Shana thought.
"Bang————!"
Shana stomped the ground suddenly, and a ball of fire rose from the soles of her feet. Her whole body was like a flaming meteor, leaving a faint fiery red mark in the space, and shot towards Emiya Shirou at an extremely fast speed.
"Qiang————!"
With a crisp sound of collision, the reverse blade and the long sword collided heavily, and sparks flew between the two.
In fact, the hardness of the reverse blade is already comparable to some low-level treasures. It is not because Shirou Emiya's forging technology is so magical, nor is it because the minerals of the empire are so hard.
Instead, this weapon was forged by Shirou Emiya himself. He is more familiar with and proficient in this weapon than any other weapon he has projected.
After becoming completely familiar with it, the weapons projected by Shirou Emiya will become somewhat different.
Because Shirou Emiya knows what kind of adjustments will not cause the projected weapon to collapse, or what kind of changes will make the weapon more powerful.
Just like the [Gan Jiang Mo Ye] in Red A's hand, they can not only turn into long swords with wings, but even Black A can transform them into an almost impossible pistol.
Of course, the reverse blade in Shirou Emiya's hand was able to remain intact during the battle with Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada because Shirou Emiya had partially modified it.
Emiya Shirou and Shana collided with each other, then they suddenly kicked the ground and quickly retreated backwards.
Shana naturally chased after Shirou Emiya relentlessly, with fire powder flying all over her body, at a speed comparable to that of a bullet.
Chapter 237: Terrifying Flames
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
Fierce collisions continued to occur in the air, not only sparks flying, but even the air around them was shaking constantly.
It is obvious that as a fire mist warrior, Shana is stronger than Shirou Emiya. The sounds of collision and vibration are enough to prove her strong power.
But he was easily stopped by Shirou Emiya.
Even Shirou Emiya was able to resist it without spending much effort.
Shana has never learned sword skills systematically, nor is she like Shirou Emiya who has nurtured himself with sword skills from hundreds of schools and thus figured out the moves that best suit him.
Shana's attack style and trajectory are straightforward, without any sophistication, but it is not simply waving the sword in her hand.
Because Shirou Emiya could see that the direction and trajectory of Shana's swing were the most energy-saving and fastest ways, full of strength and decisiveness.
