"I see, it sounds quite miserable..."

Shinji nodded.

This "Old Man" spent nine times the reward he received, and it took him ten years to repair his soul to the point where he was alone. This shows how badly he was chopped off in the previous world.

"I won't inherit his debt, right?"

"No, this world has deemed the mission failed."

"That's fine, otherwise I can only trick another golden citizen into giving it to you with tears in my eyes."

System:...

"Look what else is left in this thing... a piece of Character Card - Archer queen (Archer Queen), a piece of Territory Modification Card... and... fuck!"

After flipping through the pages, Shinji found a few very weird things, such as aphrodisiac pills (valid within three days), sexual reassignment potions (only lasting for one week), and various other things that LSPs like very much.

"Damn, what a disgusting LSP!"

Shinji cursed bitterly, and felt from the bottom of his heart that he had been with such a person for ten years. It was really... feeling queasy!

In the end, after scolding the other party in his heart for half an hour, Shinji chose to ignore these things and put these strange things back into System Space.

The reason why I didn't throw them away is because I hope that when I see these things, I can alert myself at any time!

I must never be as inappropriate as that brother, and I must never become like that brother!

What a beast!

Of course, Shinji was right. If the other party succeeded yesterday, then he would definitely use these things on his acquaintances.

Then it will be your acquaintances who will suffer!

Those who want to use their own name to harm their friends, acquaintances, and maybe even their younger sisters will not die unjustly at all.

"By the way, where is Beginner's Gift Pack? It should be there this time, right? The last time I was cut, there was no hair at all."

"Newbie gift packs have been distributed——"

"An opportunity to travel across the world without the host providing an energy source."

"Also: There will no longer be a mandatory mission for the next world travel."

"Correcting according to the actual situation of the host..."

"Correction successful."

"The mission in the next world has been changed to: repair the soul."

"The mission is successful, and we will continue to provide you with the next opportunity to travel around the world for free."

"There is no penalty for failure."

"Wait a minute, the power to travel through the world is still provided by me?"

"If the mission is successful, the next free opportunity will continue to be provided. If the mission fails, the host will provide it."

"What if I refuse the mission? What if I just stay in this world without going anywhere?"

System was noticeably silent for a short while.

"Host, are you willing to be ordinary?"

Hearing this, Shinji suddenly laughed.

"It doesn't matter whether you are willing to be ordinary or not, it doesn't matter at all..."

As he said that, Shinji gently raised the corners of his mouth. "System, you haven't noticed the point at all, that is, the compatibility between me and you, System, is really... great."

System:...

After washing up, Shinji put on clean clothes. Before he could take a bite, he spotted the "lonely citizen" - Gilgamesh - Gilgamesh standing outside his door through the living room window, holding a bottle of wine and his lips hanging.

Understanding that the other party was a bit boring now because Kirie had no one to talk to, so Shinji temporarily gave up the idea of going out after dinner.

Copenhagen, this is the name of a tavern and wine supermarket in Shinto.

Normally, Shirou would work here. Because of Shirou, Shinji is also an old acquaintance here.

Looking at the sign at the door that said Copen hagen, Gilgamesh's face was filled with displeasure.

"Shinji, are you prepared to let the king stoop to a place like this?!"

"Well, don't be so angry all the time. Even if you are a king, you should occasionally pay a private visit incognito to experience the life of the common people in your eyes, Gilgamesh."

"Okay! I will listen to your advice today!"

Hearing the other party's answer, Shinji always felt that something was wrong, wondering if the other party was waiting for him here?

Advice? Are you treating yourself as a minister?

After thinking about it, Shinji decided to open his mouth to defend. However, before he could speak, he thought of something. If he defended himself now, the other party would definitely say, "This world belongs to the king!" and so on. If he started arguing later, he would not be able to make sense of it.

Simply, Shinji stopped arguing with the other party on this matter and directly opened the door of the tavern.

"Yo, Miss Otoko."

The long-haired, squinty-eyed lady sitting at the bar, wearing a clerk's apron with "Copen hagen" and a cat logo, turned around after hearing the voice of Shinji.

"It's Matou. Did you skip class again today?"

"Miss Otoko doesn't know me yet?" Shinji winked and smiled playfully, then introduced Golden Flash who stood up, "This time I brought an acquaintance here."

"Bring an acquaintance..." Miss Otoko sighed, holding his forehead, "Although I appreciate you bringing in customers, don't think that I can easily let you, a minor, drink in the store."

"Isn't it okay if uncle isn't around? Wasn't it always like this before?"

"It has nothing to do with dad, the main thing is if Taiga knew that I left her students drinking in the store..."

"Don't worry, the other side will never know! Don't worry! Neko-sama, I took the cup myself."

"Cup..." Yinzi was about to say something when she suddenly discovered something - it was the wine Golden Flash was carrying!

"You even brought your own drinks..."

"Don't worry, I'll pay. If it doesn't work, I'll help you get some customers..."

Before Shinji could finish his words, Golden Flash had already taken out a large gold bar from his pocket and banged it on the table.

Looking at the big golden nugget Golden Flash, and Golden Flash who closed her eyes and let out a cold snort, Yinzi was stunned for two seconds before standing up and politely said, "I'm sorry for this customer, we are not ready to sell this store yet."

After seeing Golden Flash frowning as if he wanted to get angry, Shinji was the first to speak, "Don't worry about it Miss Otoko, my acquaintance just wants to say that this is a service fee."

"Pay... pay... service fee?! So much?!"

"Miss Otoko," Shinji winked and whispered, "This acquaintance of mine is a super rich man."

"Matou, did my father say something to you? Do you want your help to introduce me to a blind date or something?"

Knowing that the other party might have misunderstood something, Shinji quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm really just here to drink."

"That's it..." After saying that, Yinzi laughed heartily, "Well, forget it, since we are an acquaintance of Matou, there is no need for service fees or anything like that. I happen to be going to deliver goods soon, so I can just look after the store on my behalf."

"Leave it to me!" Shinji gave a thumbs up, and then asked, "By the way, do you need help loading the goods?"

"No, it's just two cases of beer. Dad already packed them when he left."

In front of the bar.

Looking at the gold bar handed over by Shinji, Golden Flash snorted very arrogantly, saying that he would not take back what he gave away.

Seeing that the other party refused to accept it, Shinji was no longer polite and threw the gold bars into System Space. Then he took out his wallet and took out a few banknotes and placed them on the bar counter and held them down with a cup.

"That's right. Could this be the Bacchus or something..."

"You have good taste, Shinji." Golden Flash said very cheerfully, and at the same time drank the wine in the cup, "But this cup is indeed not worthy of such wine."

"Really?" Shinji disagreed with this and gently shook the goblet in his hand. "Everything must be gorgeous... ritualistic? Is that the word? Well, I don't think it matters anyway. For me, compared to everything being gorgeous, I still prefer to find the shining points... uh... gorgeousness that even a useless existence has. It's still very interesting when I find it."

"The same goes for the king."

You're the same shit!

You originally wanted to destroy all mankind!

Shinji complained in his heart, but did not refute with his mouth. After all, it would do no good to anger this person who has the same fun as himself.

"Gilgamesh, don't you still think that humans in this world are superfluous?"

"Hoar?" Golden Flash glanced at Shinji, and raised the corner of his mouth with a bit of interest. "Are you trying to figure out the king's thoughts? Shinji?"

"It's okay if you insist on thinking so. If you really want to kill all mankind and take it seriously, I can only... escape with the people I care about!"

"Hahahahaha, interesting! You are actually running away, aren't you becoming my enemy?"

"Of course not. After all, it doesn't make sense to do that, not to mention that I cherish my life very much."

"Hmm..." Golden Flash pondered for two seconds, then raised his head and shook the glass and said, "Shinji, as a person with the same interests, you must also think that this world is boring, right?"

"It's not bad. If it's just for fun, you won't get tired of it for hundreds of years. Even if you get tired of it, it should be hundreds of years later."

Golden Flash didn't speak anymore, but quietly drank his wine.

At this moment, the wind chime at the door suddenly rang, and the store door was pushed open at the same time.

"Sister Yinzi, I need..."

Shirou walked in and stopped talking when he saw Shinji and Golden Flash sitting in front of the bar.

"Shinji, why are you here..."

Looking at Shirou who was dressed in casual clothes, Shinji asked, "What about you? Emiya, it doesn't look like you just got out of school. Are you skipping class?"

"I took a break today because Illya wanted to go to the amusement park, so I spent the whole day playing at Shinto with Saber and Illya..."

Shirou As soon as he finished speaking, two unusually familiar voices came from behind him.

"What's wrong? Shirou? Didn't you say you would stop by an acquaintance's shop on your way back to see if there is anything you need help with?"

"A tavern? Illya wants to see it!"
