Chapter 154

If it were written into a novel or made into a movie or TV series, it would definitely be a huge hit.

"Has Shirou already taken control of a part of the Knights of the Round Table?"

Croissant, standing nearby, muttered a complaint in a low voice.

I was initially worried that Shirou would be blinded by the Knights of the Round Table, but now it seems... it's not that Shirou is being blinded, but rather that Shirou is blinding the Knights of the Round Table!

Look how diligently those people inside are calling out "teacher" and "instructor"!

"Have you forgotten? Shirou taught me how to use a sword."

Texas felt somewhat helpless seeing the two of them stunned by Shirou's teaching.

She acknowledged Shirou's teaching methods, and her learning swordsmanship from Shirou was simply to better coordinate with everyone at Penguin Logistics.

But these people don't seem to appreciate it much.

Sigh... I miss her a little when she's not around.

She can't handle these two troublesome guys all by herself.

"Shirou's reputation within the Sniper Team is now comparable to... cough cough, I mean, Chen's."

Swire brought several people with her, said that she seemed to have let something slip in the middle, but fortunately she corrected herself in time.

She wasn't lying; the Sniper Team's position within the Knights of the Round Table was somewhat awkward, as there weren't any particularly outstanding individuals among them.

Until Shirou showed off his skills a few days ago.

"What? You're talking like Shirou is one of her people."

Upon hearing Swire's words, Exusiai complained quietly to Croissant beside her.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Swire's ears twitched slightly; she felt that Exusiai had just been talking badly about her.

Although she speaks very loudly, she has very good hearing.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Exusiai waved her hand and said.

When you're on someone else's turf, you have to keep your opinions to yourself.

At the same time, I mentally complained about how sharp the other person's ears were.

"Snort!"

Swire didn't seem to be arguing with the other party.

After all, that was the tone she used when she spoke.

On the issue of winning over Shirou, she is now on the same side as Chen and Hoshiguma.

After all, you have to be a member of the Knights of the Round Table first before you can even talk to them!

"By the way, your Knights of the Round Table's ventilation ducts... are pretty big?"

Texas bit off the Pocky stick in her mouth and looked up.

Although it was very subtle, she sensed someone above her.

Shirou has been keeping an eye on things above whenever he goes out with them lately, which has made Texas somewhat sensitive to what's going on above.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Swire was completely taken aback by Texas's sudden question.

"No, it's nothing, just my imagination."

Texas shook her head and said.

This is the Knights of the Round Table; she's probably overthinking it.

Even if someone could actually get into the Knights of the Round Table through the ventilation ducts, that's the Knights of the Round Table's own business.

"So mysterious... aren't you going to say hello?"

Judging from Texas's demeanor, Swire thought the other party was just playing tricks.

So they quickly changed the subject.

"No, Shirou is busy."

Croissant stood up and patted her hands that had just been supporting her on the floor.

Although she is usually quite mischievous, she still knows that it's not good to disturb other people's work.

Just like she didn't like the Knights of the Round Table disturbing her when she was setting up her stall.

You have to understand that most people here have very sharp eyes. If she rashly went up and interrupted Shirou's teaching, she might be closely watched by these people even when she's setting up her stall.

She! Croissant! Is quite intelligent!

"Hmm... that makes sense. Let's take a picture for Sora. This is Emiya in his Knights of the Round Table Shirou uniform!"

After thinking about it, Exusiai felt that Croissant's words made a lot of sense, so Exusiai took out her phone and quickly took a few pictures.

Shirou has a pitifully small number of clothes, and he only changes a few outfits over and over again. Now that he has a photo of himself in his Knights of the Round Table uniform, he has to keep it safe.

"Um?"

While Exusiai taking photos, Shirou on the other side felt a chill run down his spine.

Is there something wrong with my movements?

The person being instructed saw Shirou suddenly make a sound and thought they had done something wrong.

"No, it's nothing, I just feel a little chilly."

Seeing the other person's nervous expression, Shirou hurriedly explained.

"Cold? That won't do. I'll go turn up the temperature right away. It's not good to catch a cold."

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the Knights of the Round Table immediately put down his crossbow and ran out.

"I did not mean that."

Because the opponent's thought process was so astonishing, Shirou was unable to stop them for a moment.

Shouldn't he have pulled his coat tighter first? Is it okay for him to just run off and turn on the air conditioner?

But that feeling just now... it felt like someone was talking about him?

Looking around, I saw everyone shooting intently, the sound of crossbow bolts hitting the targets never ceasing.

I looked back outside, but there didn't seem to be anyone else there.

Was he overthinking it? Or was the ninja upstairs just hungry?

I only put out two rice balls and a can of hot tea this morning, did I forget to take them?

Shirou pulled his coat up slightly and thought for a moment, figuring that the air conditioning here was probably too cold, which was why he had this reaction.

During this break, Shirou pondered why things had turned out this way, and why his internship had changed from dealing with documents to dealing with a bunch of guns and crossbows.

He shouldn't have drawn that bow; he should have just followed Chen and attacked with his double swords. That way, all this trouble wouldn't have happened.

Although his archery skills seem to be on a completely overpowered level here, Shirou still has his heart set on his twin swords.

Just like Archer always prefers to use Gan Jiang Mo Ye in close combat, he is quite similar to his opponent in this respect.

That's normal, since they're both Shirou Emiya.

He just happened to know how to use a bow, which is why he became Archer.

However, the Sniper Team only consists of these people, and now most of them are quite good at fixed-point sniping.

For the rest, we can only rely on experience and teaching from others.

After all, he himself had never fought a guerrilla war. When the distance was far, he would snipe from a fixed point, and when the distance was close, he Projection his dual swords and engage in close combat.

That's why everyone's combat experience is different, and most people who specialize in long-range weapons rarely focus on other areas.

However, there are exceptions. It seems that all of Chen's men have a certain level of close combat experience.

Old Chen is absolutely right.

After several days of observation, Shirou knew that Chen's squad was probably the most well-rounded team in the entire Knights of the Round Table.

Hoshiguma mostly follows Chen's commands and arrangements, except during current missions.

When they're not on missions, Hoshiguma and Chen are more like... Exusiai and Texas?

They're like a pair of partners, complaining and venting to each other, and even showing different sides of themselves.

Shirou thought this was a good idea.

He let his mind wander and think about what had happened recently, until the member of the Knights of the Round Table who had gone to adjust the air conditioning returned. Only then did Shirou continue to point out the problem with the other party's shooting.

I thought it would last until lunchtime, but the communicator hanging on my waist rang before the lunch break bell.

Shirou pointed to the communicator on his chest and then stopped pointing.

Since they were all from the Knights of the Round Table, this kind of situation was common, so the other party nodded to show that he understood.

Once outside the glass window, where the sounds of target practice were no longer heard, Shirou answered the call.

"This is Shirou. May I ask what brings you here?"

Shirou inquired, "The only people who can use this communicator are my few superiors during my internship, namely Chen and Hoshiguma."

Although Swire also wanted to take over this authority, Chen ultimately rejected it.

Chen's reason was that it was too annoying.

"This is Chen. Are you free now?"

Chen's voice came through the communicator, and Shirou felt that the other party's tone was... not very friendly.

He seemed perfectly normal before he came downstairs. Could something have happened?

Did Sir Swire go to argue with Chen again?

Is it really a battle so fierce that even ghosts would be afraid?

"You're free. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Looking back at the Sniper Team members who were still firing, Shirou said.

It wasn't that he said he had time because he didn't want to teach these people.

Teaching is something that only needs to be done when there is no other work. If Chen has other work, then that work will naturally take priority.

This was something Chen had agreed upon beforehand with the Sniper Team who were using his services.

"Director Wei would like to have a talk with you."

Upon hearing Chen's words, Shirou knew why the other party's tone was unfriendly.

He vaguely heard from Hoshiguma that the relationship between the two seemed to be not very good.

It was just that Wei Yanwu was looking for him...

Is it too late for him to say he's too busy?

Shirou really didn't want to "talk" to someone like Wei Yanwu.

It was less of a chat and more of a verbal battle; if he wasn't careful, he might be led into an even deeper abyss.

Didn't you see his boss got into trouble because of this, and they sent him to work for the Knights of the Round Table?

"Understood, I'll settle things here and then head over."

It's too late to say anything now. Someone from above has summoned him for a talk, and even though he's on vacation, he has to make time to come and see them.

After briefly explaining the situation, Shirou left the shooting range.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it seemed like most of the people inside put down their crossbows when he said he was leaving?

At this moment, Shirou felt like a teacher, and these people were his students. Once the teacher left, the students let loose.

Shaking his head to banish these strange thoughts, Shirou quickly arrived at his office via elevator.

"You've arrived?"
