Chapter 115

"Wow! It really is!"

Shirou looked at the hamburger in his hand and saw that the filling had indeed spilled out from the back.

Because it was small and needed to be eaten immediately, Shirou did not use anything to hold it in place.

It's not a big problem. Hamburgers are junk food, but once you break them down, they're a healthy meal with bread, meat, and vegetables. You can just use utensils to eat them.

It just lacks that satisfying feeling of taking a big bite.

Since the food had all fallen onto the plate, Shirou didn't bother to pick it up with his hands. He simply stood up and went to the kitchen to get the cutlery.

"When Shirou, Emiya gets distracted more often. Is there something wrong with those two?"

Watching Shirou leave, Exusiai gently nudged Texas beside her with Exusiai elbow and asked in a low voice.

I went to rehearsal a few days ago, and since then I haven't had much contact with everyone except for video chatting with them when I have a spare moment.

Shirou, too, has been constantly spacing out these past two days.

Exusiai refuses to believe that the two are unrelated!

Exusiai is quite curious about when the two got together. She's with them every day, so she shouldn't have had time, right?

Or is Shirou actually a master of time management?

"You're overthinking it. Shirou was like this a month ago. If we're being honest, Shirou's current condition is closer to overwork."

Texas ruthlessly took away the gossip from her teammates, who were eager to see what was going on.

There were clues to Shirou's problem, and given the dark circles under Shirou eyes, she was more inclined to believe that Shirou was busy with other things outside.

Just like Sora and Croissant, they have other jobs besides working for Penguin Logistics.

I wonder what Shirou, who just arrived in Lungmen and whose identity was even created by Penguin Logistics, is busy with.

Hmm... that's a bit troublesome, let's forget about it.

Texas, finding the more she thought about it, the more complicated it became, so she gave up on thinking about it.

"Excessive fatigue... excessive indulgence?"

Croissant whispered to herself.

Having learned her lesson, she now speaks more softly when discussing matters concerning Shirou.

It's just that his head is still full of yellow waste.

Texas 'Croissant words, gave her a cold look and simultaneously stopped Exusiai from speaking.

Since Shirou is unable to intervene, then she will take over.

For a moment, the Texas physics team fell silent.

One used his eyes, the other his elbow.

What are you doing?

Shirou returned with the cutlery and saw Texas calmly eating her hamburger, while Croissant was sweating profusely.

As for Exusiai? She's completely collapsed onto the table.

"No! Nothing! There's nothing at all!"

Overwhelmed with fear, Croissant hurriedly insisted that nothing had happened.

Looking at the other person's expression, Shirou certainly didn't believe it, but after thinking it over, he finally attributed the matter to a secret interaction between the group.

Penguin Logistics seems to have become much more aggressive with fewer empty slots!

"If you have nothing else to do, hurry up and eat something before heading out, it's getting late."

Shirou, after checking the time, reminded the others to stop discussing the matter.

Today's burgers were a bit more complicated to make, so they were served a little late.

Shirou, which consisted of sandwiches as well.

Unfortunately, convenience is the priority, and Shirou doesn't have any dishes that can be stored for a long time and are convenient to eat, except for sandwiches and rice balls.

The only thing we could improve was the ingredients; we frequently changed the bread and the fillings.

They even made a fruit sandwich for Exusiai.

Shirou put a lot of effort into everyone's diet; this was one of his main tasks.

"Damn it, it's already this late! Texas, let's go!"

Looking at the time on the clock, Exusiai stuffed the remaining hamburger into her mouth in one gulp, then grabbed Texas and prepared to leave.

"I'll pack it for you, remember to pick it up when you get it."

Seeing Exusiai rushing off, Texas looking at the remaining breakfast on the table with reluctance, Shirou chuckled and took a bag to pack it up for Texas.

As for Exusiai's? It's still in her mouth and she can't chew it yet.

After Texas got her things, she was pulled away by Exusiai.

Croissant breathed a sigh of relief after Texas left, and then took the small bento box that Shirou had prepared for her and went out as well.

Now that Kong isn't around, she only needs to complete today's sales targets by herself before she can go about her own business.

"It feels like sending a child to school."

After seeing the group off, Shirou turned back to look at the messy dining table and sighed.

However, he was quick and tidy, cleaning the living room in no time and washing the dishes until they were sparkling clean, then setting them aside to dry.

I was carrying a few extra sandwiches, which I was going to give to Jie on the way, and of course, to A-Xing and Ansuo as well.

After putting his things in the bicycle basket, Shirou left the dormitory wearing a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, carrying a bag.

Shirou usually wears three different outfits these days.

For example, the ordinary shirts and pants that you wear when you go out to Fuyuki Store, the uniform jackets from Penguin Logistics, and the hooded coats you wear at night in the Slums.

Each outfit is worn on the occasion, but compared to everyone else in Penguin Logistics, Shirou wears more ordinary clothes.

After all, there haven't been any missions lately... But the Emperor said that they'll all get to attend the concert after the event, and they'll have to do a few days of guard duty.

It's not difficult; it's just a matter of going there as insurance. The brokerage firm will also find other professionals to protect you.

Others had done similar tasks before, but this was Shirou's first time undertaking a task like this.

However, there is still a long time to go, and Shirou is not in a hurry at the moment.

His main task at Penguin Logistics now is to gather intelligence at night.

"I wonder if Isv has managed to get any useful information."

On the way, Shirou's thoughts gradually drifted away.

He used the word "snap up," and at that time, Isv confidently stated that he would find a way to extract useful information from the other party, so that Shirou would not have to meet with the other party.

If there were intelligence, Shirou wouldn't need to climb that high building every night to look out.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but lately Shirou felt like someone was watching him. However, every time he tried to find the source of the gaze, the person would disappear.

I don't know if it's good or bad. After I told Is about Isv, he just said it was nothing.

What else could he do? He could only Isv Is.

Riding his bicycle, Shirou first went to Zi's seafood stall, greeted him, and then packed up his portion and handed it to him.

Then I went to the Fuyuki Store and parked my bicycle.

"You're up early today."

Seeing Shirou push open the door and walk in, Ansuo looked up, greeted him, and then continued with his work.

"Don't I come here around the same time every day? Or did you forget to do your homework and are rushing to finish it?"

Upon hearing Ansuo's words, Shirou replied irritably.

He always arrives around this time!

But after seeing Ansuo's actions, Shirou understood what the other person meant by those words.

I simply haven't finished my homework and am rushing to finish it. I sincerely hope that Shirou, who is checking my homework, can come a little later.

"Ahem... Some of the kids didn't sleep well yesterday, so I went to check on them."

The Ansuo was exposed, which was somewhat embarrassing.

She simply forgot!

Shirou is really something, making homework out of nothing, saying that at least you have to be able to read and do math.

She Ansuo if he was the kind of person who couldn't read or do arithmetic!

At least she still knows addition and subtraction!

"Yes, yes, no need to rush with homework. Let's eat first. You'll have more energy if you're full. I'll give you a few more questions later."

Shirou didn't believe a word Ansuo said.

In this respect, Ansuo is quite pathetic.

But that's good, it makes it feel like a child's life.

He's facing certain death, but also imprisonment. Once he's had his fill, Shirou will give him a few more problems to solve.

They are only stricter with Ansuo, since they are responsible for managing the store and cannot be careless in this regard.

"Ugh... Shirou, you've changed! Where did the gentle, kind, and generous Shirou go?!"

Hearing the first half of Shirou, I Ansuo moved.

The last sentence is a bit redundant.

When exactly did this happen? It seems like it started when A-Xing brought over a huge stack of books, right?

She said she would teach everyone to read and write, and even persuaded Shirou to tutor her alone.

It's all A-Xing's fault!

"It's just homework, it's not like I'm forcing you to do anything weird."

Shirou was already used to hearing these strange verbal attacks from everyone at Penguin Logistics.

They could even launch a further counterattack.

"Oh, this is terrible."

"Or maybe we shouldn't eat it? I'll take it to A-Xing."

"Hey! No! I'll start writing right after I finish eating. It's just a few questions! They can't possibly be that hard for me!"

After Shirou's friendly persuasion, Ansuo successfully gave in and took a big bite of the sandwich.

Just as Ansuo was enjoying these last moments of happiness, a click came from the door, indicating that another guest had arrived.

"You eat first, I'll go serve you."

Shirou waved his hand, signaling Ansuo to continue eating breakfast, and said he would handle things here.

"This is it... Hmm? What are Penguin Logistics people doing here?!"

A man with blue hair, red eyes, a pair of horns on his head, and wearing the uniform of the Longmen Knight Bureau pointed at Shirou in front of him with a shocked expression.

125 Chen

"Hmm? Is that Chen's voice?"

Hearing the sound coming from the other side of the door, Ansuo looked towards the door, trying to see who it was.

Unfortunately, Shirou blocked his way, so Ansuo could only jump off the chair, grab the sandwich, and go over to find out what was going on.

Seeing that familiar figure, it really was Chen!

She recognized that voice! She used it as background music when she went out for free meals, and now that she heard it, eating felt much smoother.

I Ansuo felt like I could eat a few more sandwiches!

"Ansuo? You're here too?"

Seeing the familiar purple Casters's figure, Chen was a little surprised, but not so surprised.
