It was nothing more than failing to let the boy escape in the first place, but it actually aroused his unyielding desire in turn.
However, if the child can endure the aura she released at this age...
Himeko rolled her eyes, and she showed a friendly smile again as her mind suddenly became active.
As the chill disappeared, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly relaxed.
The warriors who fell into the cave couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, raised their hands, and wiped away the sweat oozing from their foreheads, Emiya Shirou turned his head and glanced calmly at Elysia who was nervous. Elysia nodded slightly.
He turned his gaze back to Himeko's direction, and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? Are you trying to threaten us?" Lifting her chin she said, "By the way, I sent you all back to the town, and you haven't told me your name, it seems a bit impolite."
"Emiya." Emiya Shiro said coldly.
"Who's that little girl?" Himeko said.
"Does she have anything to do with what we're talking about?" Emiya Shirou said, "It seems even more impolite to answer my question with a question, and you should still owe us an explanation."
"Want to explain? Yes." Himeko nodded lightly, "The explanation is... everything you suffered just now is just a 'test' rather than a 'threat', can you accept this explanation?"
" Your so-called test refers to oppressing us with that momentum?"
"If you can't even bear this momentum, even if you know the truth of the matter, it will be meaningless to you." Himeko said quietly , "Sometimes, ignorance is also a kind of happiness."
After hearing Himeko's words, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but fall into silence.
In fact, he can't be regarded as the kind of character who is very keen on digging out the truth. In many cases, he doesn't mind others actively hiding some things from him, but if the truth of the matter involves the safety of the town, and if it involves Elysia safety, that's another matter.
Do you want to ask in the end here? Emiya Shirou pursed his lips, and suddenly took a step back slowly. "...Sorry, I was the one who overstepped."
"Oh?" Himeko raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I thought you were the kind of character who would never give up until you reach the truth, did you give up so soon?"
"If I keep asking, will you answer me?" Emiya Shirou said flatly.
"If you can really pass the test and become one of 'us', the so-called truth will naturally open the door to you." Himeko said.
"Forget it then." Emiya Shirou shook his head, and held Elysia's hand even tighter, "I'm not interested in becoming one of you, and I don't intend to deliberately seek the truth of this world. For me now, my family is more important than those illusory things."
"It's really a romantic confession." Himeko smiled narrowly, "You look mature and dull, but unexpectedly you're is a bad boy who is good at pleasing girls."
"You are an old aunt in her twenties, what kind of messy things are you teaching two innocent children?" Emiya Shirou rolled his eyes as he mercilessly turned his own words into a sharp blade, easily piercing Himeko's heart.
"What—" Himeko's smile froze instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "You impolite brat calling someone an aunt! I am only twenty-three years old this year! Am I as old as you said?!"
"Ellie, let's stay away from her." Emiya Shirou turned around, not looking at Himeko, who was a little mad with anger, while pulling Elysia towards home, with a dignified expression and earnest words
"Look clearly, there is a typical negative auntie over there. When you grow up, you must never become such a sad adult."
"I told you not to call me auntie! Come back and tell me clearly! What's the matter with the sad adult part!"
"Huh? Why? That aunt is obviously a very handsome and good person?" Elysia asked innocently.
"That aunt is indeed a very handsome and good person, but if you becomes someone like her, no one will want you when you grow up." Emiya Shirou's tone was gentle and persuasive.
When I grow up, no one will want it—the lingering sound in her mind made Himeko, who was shot in the heart again, exhale and almost jumped: "Huh?! What are you playing... You little devil, come back to me! Listen to people talking Ahh!"
Seeing the backs of Emiya Shirou and Elysia gradually disappearing from sight, Himeko's chest heaved rapidly, and her red lips trembled slightly with her rapid panting.
Suddenly, someone walked cautiously behind her.
"That, Captain?"
"Huh?" Himeko, who was enveloped by frustration, had a pair of lifeless dead fish eyes, and shifted her gaze.
The man's body trembled slightly, and he swallowed: "Well, it seems that we haven't checked the bodies of the two children..."
"It's unnecessary." Hima walked towards the back seat of the jeep breathlessly, she stretched her upper body into the car door, then took out a small instrument from the gap between the seats, and threw it back to the soldier who came to remind her, "You can see for yourself.
"Honkai energy detector?" After catching the instrument thrown by Himeko in a hurry, the soldier was slightly taken aback, "Captain, have you been suspicious of them from the beginning?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I sat in the back seat with them?" Himeko pulled his upper body out of the back seat and said angrily, "If those two children are really with Dr. Mebius do you think you can really handle the two of them?"
"So, the reason why the captain let them go is because..."
"Of course It's because the suspicion of the two of them has been cleared." Himeko said, "If those two children are really the existence calculated by the doctor, it is impossible for the Honkai energy detector to not activate."
"After all, according to common sense, it is impossible for human beings infected with Honkai to live safely and unharmed with other residents of this town for such a long time."
"However, compared to that I'm a little interested in that boy for things that have already been disproved."
"Similar to Dr. Mebius that boy is really an unreasonable 'monsters' that are appearing one after another."
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively: "This is to be said, is that boy able to resist the aura released by the captain?" Himeko gave the soldier a brief glance and spoke concisely, making the soldiers feeze in place.
"If you were to face him in a one-on-one confrontation, the one who will lose is most likely you"
