Chapter 180

"Grateful."

After putting everything into his pocket, Shirou thanked the group and went inside.

After returning after some time, Shirou suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the outside world.

At least you won't have to squeeze with other people.

Leaning against the wall, Shirou first analyzed the entire building to see if there was anything strange about it.

He had already done it once before the concert started, so he would recognize any abnormalities.

The building itself is quite large, and analyzing it will take a lot of time and magic.

"No abnormalities..."

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the building, Shirou left his spot by the wall and walked into the crowd.

The two Ursus people's clothes were somewhat similar, so Shirou plans to investigate in that direction.

The Ursus people wearing similar clothes are very likely to be accomplices of the other party.

This guess was made by someone else, and although the direction of the analysis was subtle, Shirou still listened to it.

It's better than having no goal at all and just searching randomly.

"That's true... but it's still a bit difficult to see the details of the clothes in this kind of setting! Some of them are too tall and they're all blocked!"

Despite being 1.7 meters tall, Shirou, who is still developing, was only in the middle of the height range during the entire concert.

If you're looking to spot someone acting suspiciously or wearing extra layers, that's fine, but if you're looking to see the details of their clothing, that's a bit difficult.

However, Shirou was not discouraged, at least he still had a chance to grow taller.

Archer is almost 1.9 meters tall!

His future height is still something to look forward to!

"Huh? Why is that guy showing up again? And I have a feeling... is there blood on him?"

As Shirou weaved through the crowd, the Penguin Logistics supporters who were cheering for Sora by the wall in the front row also noticed the suspicious figure in the crowd.

Of course, it was Exusiai noticed this suspicious person.

First of all, wearing sunglasses at a concert is suspicious, and the person wearing a floral shirt is also suspicious. Not to mention that the person was clearly at the concert but kept wandering around in the crowd, showing no intention of appreciating the music.

Only when Sora appears will the opponent pause for a moment.

I was just thinking how quiet they'd finally quieted down, but they came right back again a short while later!

And the other person's clothes were stained with blood!

This couldn't escape the discerning eyes of Exusiai!

Of course, the premise is that Croissant lifts her up so that she has a good view so that she can see it.

Croissant's shoulders feel especially secure, since there are handles to hold onto so you don't fall.

Of course, the price to pay is that the Exusiai wave their glow sticks to cheer on the sky.

"Blood? You must be mistaken."

Texas, standing to the side, was chewing on a Pocky and responding to Exusiai with a bored expression.

The main issue is that the people on stage right now are other idol members from MSR, and she's not really interested in them.

Penguin Logistics only pushes empty boxes. When the empty boxes are not on the field, they just wait foolishly on the side. Only Exusiai, who is attached to Croissant, will take this opportunity to look around the crowd, trying to find Shirou who is working.

Unfortunately, she couldn't find Shirou; instead, she found a certain Vayf suspicious.

"Although my eyesight isn't as good as Shirou's, it's still pretty good, okay?"

While refuting her partner, Exusiai jumped off Croissant.

Now that we've seen it, we can't let them run rampant! This is an empty concert hall! We can't let them ruin this concert!

Furthermore, it would also be convenient to notify Shirou to deal with the other party, giving them something to do!

Look how thoughtful Exusiai is!

"Don't cause trouble. You're in a big spot, so you can't go into the crowd."

Seeing Exusiai to rush into the crowd to catch someone, Texas quickly grabbed her.

"Exactly! Otherwise, we could go through the empty pipes to get to the middle! Sister Neng, calm down! If you cause trouble, you'll get kicked out!"

Croissant grabbed Exusiai, preventing her from rushing into the crowd.

The reason they were placed at the very front and against the wall was because Exusiai's halo would obstruct other people's view, so they were moved here.

If we let Exusiai charge into the crowd now, they'll likely all be driven out!

Thinking of this, Croissant added:

"Sister Neng! You don't want Kong to feel troubled because of something happening on our side, right?"

"... Fine, I won't go then, but could you please stop talking in such a strange tone? Something about it feels off."

Upon hearing Croissant's words, Exusiai stopped what she was doing and let the two of them pull her back.

I also made a comment about what Croissant just said.

"If you're so concerned, I'll go take a look and describe the characteristics."

Seeing that Exusiai had finally calmed down, Texas decided to arrest the other party in her place to prevent him from acting impulsively again.

On the bright side, at least this is a good thing her partner wanted to do?

Perhaps it was because of Shirou's influence? Texas felt that after Shirou's arrival, some of the Penguin Logistics members corrected their bad habits. Although they became very unlike Penguin Logistics, it was still a good thing overall.

At least Exusiai won't just explode on the street anymore.

"Red hair, a pair of small red horns, wearing sunglasses and a dark purple floral shirt."

Upon hearing that Texas was going to help her, Exusiai hurriedly brought out the suspicious features of the Vayf she had just seen.

"Got it. Do you remember where you last met each other?"

Texas sucked the Pocky into her mouth with a whoosh, then rubbed the back of her neck slightly to warm herself up.

"It's not far, it's just over there."

Exusiai pointed in a direction, and Texas and Croissant both looked in that direction.

All I could see were a few tall Feline.

"Sigh... I'll just take a stroll over there, and if I don't see it, I'll just let it go."

Looking at the group of tall people, Texas sighed and walked towards the spot Exusiai had pointed to.

"Seriously, Sister Neng, when did you become so righteous?"

Shortly after Texas left, Croissant still clung Exusiai and questioned her.

The reason for holding onto the other person is simple: I'm afraid they might suddenly have a moment of madness and rush in again.

I also asked a question in an attempt to distract the other person.

"Hmm... I don't know, but I feel like this is the right thing to do?"

When faced with Croissant's question, Exusiai thought for a moment before answering.

She genuinely didn't know; perhaps she wouldn't have thought about it so much before?

When did this change begin? It started with the urge to go up and teach someone a lesson when you see them doing something wrong.

After thinking for a long time, Exusiai realized:

"Could it be that Shirou influenced them?"

174 Awkward Texas

Although she would stand up for others in the past, that was only when the matter was right under her nose. She would never have done something like this before, just because she felt that the other person had a problem and wanted to catch them.

Sigh, he must have been corrupted by Shirou.

However, it's not a bad thing, at least Exusiai feels that she is in a pretty good mood right now.

"Don't push everything onto others! Hey!"

Croissant when she heard Exusiai pass the buck to Shirou.

Meanwhile, Texas was unable to enter the crowd to catch people despite having a halo above her head, was rapidly weaving through the crowd.

Although suddenly having more things to do made her feel less than happy.

But it's always a good thing, and Texas doesn't want to discourage Exusiai's confidence in this regard.

It's much better than doing anything else.

"Hmm... is it over there?"

Heading in the direction Exusiai had indicated, Texas vaguely spotted a red-haired Vayf.

It must be the guy Exusiai was talking about, and as she got closer, she could also smell a faint scent of blood.

However, most of the time it was overwhelmed by the perfume and body odor of other people.

And... that hairstyle looks familiar...

It must be my imagination, right?

Putting aside her thoughts, Texas burrowed towards the other party's location.

The closer they got, the clearer and more distinct the smell of blood became.

However, that doesn't matter. Texas has always believed what Exusiai said from the very beginning, so she was able to find the other party partly because of the smell of blood.

She could still tell the difference between fresh blood and processed blood.

"Hmm... that guy's a bit suspicious?"

Meanwhile, Shirou, who was being targeted, was looking at Caprini not far away, figuring out how to squeeze next to him.

Then, he suddenly felt someone tap his right shoulder.

"?"

Shirou turned to look at the hand that was patting his shoulder, mainly because the other person might not be able to hear him if he spoke directly in this place.

Turning around, Shirou saw the familiar black-haired Lupo ears.

Then came those familiar blue-orange pupils.

"What are you doing wandering around like that?"

Despite the dim lighting, a closer look revealed the problem with the other person's clothes. For Texas, who was used to this kind of work, it was clear that the other person hadn't even bothered to clean them before proceeding with the attack.

The technique was terrible.

"Huh? I'm working?"

Seeing that the other party was questioning him, Shirou was initially stunned, after all, he had never seen Texas show such an expression before, and he completely forgot his disguise and directly answered Texas's question.

"Is your job to move among the crowds?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Texas's expression darkened.

This is an empty concert hall, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her good teammate's concert and affect their performance.

At the same time, the hand gripping the opponent's right shoulder tightened its grip and gradually increased its strength.

They were trying to force the other party to back down in this way.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the expression on the other person's face remained unchanged.

This surprised Texas a bit.

"Uh... Texas, what are you doing?"

Seemingly noticing that Texas was applying force to his right shoulder, Shirou thought for a moment and then asked her a question.

Although being wrapped in the Holy Shroud doesn't hurt, being held so tightly like this is still a bit uncomfortable.

"Do you know me?"

Upon hearing the other person call out his name, Texas frowned and tightened his grip considerably.
