Chapter 241

Upon hearing Sora's words, Kal'tsit walked straight up and stared at Shirou's face.

As for Chen, she didn't step in to stop it, but this time she would keep a close eye on the other party.

Meanwhile, Hoshiguma and Swire had already gone out to find a doctor immediately.

Shirou cooperated with Kal'tsit's simple examination, which included temperature, eyes, mouth, and pulse—all tests that didn't require much equipment.

"It's nothing serious, just weakness from a short period of high-intensity exercise... What's the connection between that black stone and you?"

After confirming that Shirou was alright, only slightly weak, Kal'tsit inquired.

This is important, since Amiya carries it with her at all times. If there's any problem, no matter how much the other person cherishes it, it has to be put away and stored somewhere else.

"It was just pure... Magic Crystallization. I only absorbed the remaining magic on it and saw some things, but at least I can confirm that it was someone I knew."

Upon hearing Kal'tsit's question, Shirou thought for a moment before replying.

Although this magical resonance was not pleasant, and almost left him with psychological trauma, Shirou still gained something.

It's now confirmed that the one on Kitahara's side is Archer, while the one on Rhodes Island's side is someone else.

Adding the four memories he'd seen... Shirou wondered if Shirou Emiya was being a bit too overworked.

Isn't that a bit too much?

"Magic Crystallization ...then I suggest you go to Rhodes Island for a check-up immediately. Although it's not very mature, they do have medical experience in this area."

After confirming that the black stone, or rather the Magic Crystallization, seemed to only affect Shirou, a user of magic, Kal'tsit said.

As for treatment in this area, Rhodes Island only has a little experience, but it's still much better than ordinary doctors who know nothing.

Furthermore, Rhodes Island has very comprehensive medical facilities.

"Okay! I'll go right away! How far is Rhodes Island from Lungmen?"

Just as Shirou was pondering how to refuse the other party's kindness, Exusiai was standing nearby, readily agreed on his behalf.

"Um?"

Shirou turned to look at Exusiai and asked in a questioning tone.

"Since we'll have to go there sooner or later anyway, we might as well go get checked out sooner and come back sooner!"

Exusiai expressed her opinion on this.

It was quite serious, and Shirou couldn't find any fault with it.

Moreover, others also thought this was a good idea.

"I think it's okay."

Texas felt for the first time in a long time how reliable Exusiai was when she offered sound advice.

"I'll tell the boss right away, and we'll be leaving soon!"

Kong, who was standing to the side, started contacting the boss on his phone.

"What about my opinion? I'm the person involved, aren't I?"

Shirou offered a slight protest, but it was quickly suppressed.

"We have heard your opinion, but unfortunately you are the patient yourself, so we will not take your opinion into consideration."

Croissant chuckled when she heard Shirou's protest.

"..."

Upon hearing Croissant's words, Shirou began to wonder if he had been too lenient with her lately.

And Chen, who was standing nearby, did not stop it.

Although she distrusts Rhodes Island, she does not force others to distrust Rhodes Island as well.

Moreover, as Dr. Kal'tsit just mentioned, they have experience with so-called magic-related treatments.

After that, Shirou underwent an examination by a doctor from the Knights of the Round Table, and the results were similar to Kal'tsit's diagnosis.

Kal'tsit performed the examination by hand, while this doctor used some auxiliary tools, which shows that Kal'tsit is truly very skilled as a doctor.

Penguin Logistics was initially wondering if Lungmen was too far from Rhodes Island, but it turned out to be closer than they had imagined.

It's probably located between Lungmen and Ursus, and with the car running at full speed, it should be possible to make a round trip in one day.

And what's more, they don't need to drive this time!

Amiya said she could leave with them on the same transportation!

The group initially wanted to refuse, since how could Penguin Logistics not use its own vehicles?

But unfortunately, Rhodes Island's transportation is just too good.

That's a flying vehicle! How cool is that!

Not to mention everyone at Penguin Logistics, even Shirou is somewhat tempted.

He had originally thought that leaving so suddenly for a while might affect the business of Fuyuki Store, and that he should also inform the others first.

However, Chen, Hoshiguma, Swire said they would help look after him and told him not to worry too much.

After a half-day rest, Shirou, along with everyone from Penguin Logistics and the Rhodes Island crew, boarded a flying vehicle and prepared to head to the Rhodes Island main ship.

Of course, Shirou didn't forget to take Ansuo to receive treatment.

Even if he didn't mention it, Minmin had the intention of arranging for the other party to go to their ship.

However... besides Ansuo, there was another unexpected companion.

"Texas, do you eat chocolate?"

When they met, Shirou saw Lappland skillfully take out a chocolate bar from her coat and ask Texas if she wanted to have some.

If Shirou wasn't mistaken... Lappland's pocket seemed to contain quite a few snacks and cookies?

He seemed to know where Texas's Pocky addiction originated.

222 Lappland's thought process

Lungmen is the point of connection to the outside world.

There are a large number of vehicles parked here, the vast majority of which are land vehicles such as cars.

The vehicles on Rhodes Island, however, stood out conspicuously.

"A helicopter... I didn't expect to see one here."

Looking at the flying vehicle in front of him, Shirou's first thought was to call it a helicopter.

Terra seems to have some as well, but the flying vehicle in front of him is the first one Shirou has seen here.

Moreover, compared to the helicopters he was familiar with, the flying vehicle in front of him was clearly more advanced and cooler.

It's probably the kind of thing you see on TV or in movies, right?

Moreover, it can carry a relatively large number of people and goods; at least it shouldn't be a problem to bring everyone here.

"This is the Bad Guy! It's a really convenient mode of transportation, and jumping off it feels amazing!"

Huang, who was standing to the side, gave a brief introduction as a gesture of hospitality.

After all, everyone else was still dealing with pre-flight preparations, but she was the only one who slipped out.

"Jump down...? By the way, what are those things you're holding?"

Exhausted, Shirou found it difficult to criticize the strange parts of the other person's words and simply changed the subject.

After all, everyone else on Rhodes Island is still busy, so why does Blaze seem the only one who's relaxing?

She even had the time to come over and chat with him?

The Penguin Logistics team is currently listening to Isv's instructions, which are about what to pay attention to after arriving at Rhodes Island and what relevant information to gather.

Shirou, however, went there as a patient and was immediately excluded, not even given a chance to listen.

The only people with him were the two captured officers from the office Ansuo and Lappland, who needed to undergo higher-level medical examinations on the main ship.

Ansuo came along because she heard that Shirou had also gone to check.

Lappland initially refused, but Shirou said that everyone else from Penguin Logistics would be going, so she agreed.

She had been harassing Texas until just now, and only stopped when the other Penguin Logistics forcibly separated her from Texas.

Furthermore, Shirou even asked the other party for a small chocolate bar to replenish his energy.

I hadn't noticed before, but now I see that the other person had a lot of snacks hidden in their clothes! And most of them are Texas favorites.

Upon closer examination, it evokes fear.

The two of them were no longer paying much attention to Shirou, so Shirou didn't bother to talk to them.

He needed some peace and quiet, but unfortunately, Huang came knocking on his door.

"Hehe, how can we come to Lungmen without bringing these good things?"

Upon hearing Shirou's question, Huang carefully hugged the thing in his arms and then looked around.

The reason she sneaked out alone was simply because there were some good things she needed to move in herself.

If Amiya finds out about these things, things will be terrible, especially since we made a pact before we came.

I only brought a few this time. I'll go on a big shopping spree next time I bring Shirou and the others back!

She's planned it all out!

I'll only bring a tiny bit!

"If I remember correctly... it seemed quite expensive."

Although he had never bought any, Shirou had heard of the drinks produced by this shop.

It's quite famous in Lungmen, and if I remember correctly Croissant has a few bottles of it, saying they only open them to enjoy on special occasions.

"Hehe, that's why I need to bring some back! Don't tell anyone, I need to figure out a way to sneak these into the supplies that are to be sent back to Rhodes Island."

Huang chuckled twice, then gestured for Shirou not to tell anyone before carefully slipping away.

"..."

Shirou felt that the Rhodes Island people were playing a really clever game, and that Dr. Kal'tsit must have noticed it all along, but just hadn't said anything.

Ever since his Magic Circuits went berserk, Dr. Kal'tsit seems to have been quite wary of him.

This made Shirou somewhat uncomfortable.

However, it's understandable. The other party seems to have a lot of relevant information, some of which they themselves didn't even know. It's understandable that they would be wary.

After all... their style of doing things was indeed somewhat radical, unlike that of the black-clad Executor.

It was so radical that even Shirou himself found it hard to accept.

Fortunately, the Holy Shroud suppressed it, otherwise Shirou would have just performed a live demonstration of being pierced by a sword.

If he remembers correctly, this part should belong to... his Imaginary World went berserk.

He fights against the Imaginary World a weapon... What will happen if his own "heart" becomes conflicted?

Shirou had already seen the answer in a certain memory: after the Imaginary World went berserk, countless sharp swords pierced through his body.

Hands, feet, eyes, face, torso... finally transformed into a body enveloped in the crystallization of the sword.

Thinking about it that way, it seems quite similar to being an infected person?

"Hiss... Think about something more optimistic."

Thinking of this, Shirou quickly pulled his thoughts back.

You can't have so many negative emotions! It's easy to affect other people.

But Shirou couldn't think of anything optimistic for the time being, so he decided to find something to do.

After rousing himself a little, Shirou decided to go help Rhodes Island move those goods and keep himself busy.

As expected, with Amiya and the others strongly objecting, and with Ansuo informing Penguin Logistics, Shirou Exusiai were carried onto the Bad Guy and put on board.

They originally intended to let Shirou breathe more fresh air, but it seems they were too kind!
