Chapter 25
The journey back to the town from the outskirts was not too far away. In about ten minutes, Emiya Shirou saw the buildings on both sides of the street becoming clear again.
A small part of the vehicles in the convoy stopped at the entrance and exit of the town, and most of the jeeps turned immediately when they reached the intersection and drove towards other entrances and exits of the town.
Soldiers swarmed out of several jeeps parked at the intersection in an orderly manner and quickly pulled up the yellow blockade in the middle of the road. Himeko turned ers head to look at Emiya Shirou: "I forgot to ask you, where is your home's exact location in the town? Do you need us to send you back?"
"No, just put us down here." Emiya Shirou shook his head, "Both our homes are not far ahead, and we will be there in a few minutes if we walk. You should have something to do next, so we won't delay your work."
"Yes, then you should pay attention to safety." Himeko opened the door and they got out of the car as he said, "Don't just go wandering around the countryside soon. When we lift the blockade, no matter how you go out to play, no one will stop you - of course, under the premise of paying attention to safety."
Elysia leaned forward and jumped out of the car door gently, followed by Emiya Shirou's back.
After standing firmly on the ground, Emiya Shirou raised his head slightly, and nodded politely to Himeko: "I see, thank you for your suggestion, but... can you tell us why you want to block this town."
" This kind of thing is not something that children should worry about."
Himeko folded her hands on her chest and made a serious face as if he wanted to put on a serious expression to warn the two of them.
But she thought about it again, it's not easy for these two dependent children to live alone without their parents to take care of them. In addition, although the closure of the city seems a bit extravagant, in fact, nothing serious happened.
To allow the two children to live with a peace of mind, her face softened a little for the first time, and her tone of voice softened a little: "Don't worry, nothing big happened, it's just that we are looking for something that was lost by us a long time ago."
"So it's like this…" Emiya Shiro nodded and was silent for a moment, "Is that thing important to you?"
"It's not so important, It might be better to say that it might be a little bit dangerous." Himeko shrugged, and her expression suddenly became dangerous, "Maybe if you are not paying attention something will eat you up in one bite."
Elysia's face turned pale, and she lost her voice: "Is there such a scary thing hidden in the town? Emiya, let's not go out for the next few days."
"Don't believe it so quickly." Emiya Shiro had a black line on his head, "And this police officer... If you want to scare children, at least make up a reason that doesn't sound so old-fashioned and ridiculous."
"But, I didn't lie to you, Just kidding." Himeko shrugged lightly and said helplessly.
"Really?" Emiya Shirou snorted coldly, and suddenly launched an attack without warning: "If you are not joking with us, and if there really is something dangerous lurking in the town, as an army, shouldn't the so-called 'dangerous' specific information be announced immediately and the residents evacuated as soon as possible?"
"Or is it that the military and political systems of this country have become so corrupt that they don't even care about the safety of the citizens? " Quite sharp and well-organized questioning.
After hearing Emiya Shirou's words, the soldiers who were pulling up the cordon all turned their heads in unison and glanced at him with a little hostility.
Elysia looked blankly at Emiya Shirou's back, with a strange emotion in her pink pupils.
This was the first time she saw Emiya Shirou questioning others so seriously.
Having said that, seeing the boy showing such a tough posture with a body smaller than herself without fear, an indescribable sense of security surged out from the depths of his heart involuntarily.
Himeko put away the smile on her face, looked at Emiya Shirou's serious expression, and rubbed the center of her brow with a little headache.
This child is the type that is difficult to deal with.
But that's right, judging from the way he got along with that little girl, this seemingly younger boy took the initiative to assume the role of "older".
To be honest, Himeko didn't know the past of Shirou Emiya and Elysia, nor did she know their family status, but judging from the boy's behavioral style, she could still tell at a glance, How much this boy has worked hard for their family.
But...Even so, Himeko couldn't really tell the other party what he knew.
"Do you really want to know? What is the danger we need to face?" So, she narrowed her eyes, and a biting coldness and killing intent flowed from Himeko's body without any cover, "With only your frail body?"
In an instant, an indescribable chill took over the environment at the intersection, and the soldiers who were blocking the road froze in place as if falling into a dangerous cave.
Although she looks like a young woman in her early twenties, there is no doubt that Himeko is also a warrior who has experienced many battles and has a brilliant record. If she wants to, she just needs to release the energy honed while fighting against the Honkai. The chilling aura that came out made most people's knees weak involuntarily.
However, in the face of this overwhelming momentum that even made other fighters of the fifth team stiff - Emiya Shirou just frowned slightly, and walked to Elysia's side without expression In front of him, while facing all the aura released by Himeko, he raised his head and looked at her with unyielding eyes.
Now, it was Himeko who froze.
Of course, she couldn't seriously show hostility to these children, nor could she really do anything to them.
The reason why Himeko tried to overwhelm Shirou Emiya with her aura was because she hoped that the child would retreat despite difficulties from the very beginning.
As the captain of the fifth team, Himeko can't stay in this small town all the time. In her eyes, the intersection between herself and the boy was an extremely coincidental accident. As long as she finds a way to fool this boy for the time being, after she completes the task, she and this boy will probably be far apart, and there will be no chance to meet again.
But she never expected that the boy's tenacity was far beyond her expectations.
