Chapter 246

"Hmm... it's actually not bad?"

Adhering to the principle of saving the most delicious food for last, Shirou picked up a bite of the nutritious meal and put it in his mouth.

It wasn't as bad as I imagined, but it was the kind of food that would make me want to keep eating it.

Especially after Shirou tasted the other dishes on the side, his appetite for the nutritious meal decreased even more.

However, since he had already taken the food, Shirou still managed to eat everything off his plate.

I ate two bites of other dishes and one bite of the nutritional meal on average, and barely managed to finish my plate.

"Whoa whoa..."

Seeing that Shirou had finished his nutritious meal, Amiya and Rosemary both applauded.

That's incredibly rare! Someone actually managed to finish a nutritious meal on their first encounter with it!

Actually, it can be thrown away. The leftover food will be sent to the breeding area on Rhodes Island to be disposed of, so there will be no problem of wasting food.

However, Amiya only remembered after Shirou had swallowed his last nutritious meal, since she always ate as much as she could and strictly controlled her diet in this regard.

As Shirou finished his nutritious meal under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suddenly felt a burning gaze upon him.

Turning his head, he saw Phoebe holding another nutritious meal, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Shirou immediately turned his head back, not to mention that he was already full.

He didn't want to experience such a painful dining experience a second time.

On this day, the horror of Phoebe Nutrition Meal was deeply imprinted in Shirou's mind.

226 became sharp

Having resolved the first major crisis encountered after arriving on the island, Shirou only felt a little full.

The portion size of that healthy meal was quite generous...

"It's amazing that you can eat this, Shirou. I lose my appetite just looking at it."

Croissant stepped forward and said something, making Shirou regret not having given her half of the nutritious meal earlier.

At the very least, it can shut the other party up.

"The rooms have been chosen. We'll each have our own room, and the rooms are connected. Lappland... you'll be sharing with your little bunny friend too."

Seemingly noticing that Shirou's expression was becoming increasingly dangerous, and for Croissant's safety, Texas helped change the subject.

However, Shirou noticed that the other party paused slightly when mentioning Lappland again.

The relationship between these two is really complicated.

"I understand. If you need to change rooms, please let me know."

After all, Texas was the one among the four people at Penguin Logistics who was the least troublesome for him, so he would help her out if she needed anything.

Anyway, he knows Lappland, so it's not a big problem.

"That would be great if it were possible."

Texas visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Shirou's words.

It's fortunate that Lappland isn't here right now. She can't eat because she's having a full medical checkup, so she didn't come to the cafeteria. She's probably going through the same process as Shirou with Ansuo right now.

After a simple room reassignment, the four members of Penguin Logistics ended up sleeping in four rooms opposite each other, while Shirou, Ansuo, and Lappland slept in three rooms opposite each other.

Anyway, five out of the seven people listen to Shirou, and one of them is Emiya himself, so there aren't too many problems with the allocation.

As for Lappland's opinion?

I'll skip that and move on to the next one.

"Then let's go to the HR department first... Huang, you should have led everyone from Penguin Logistics there first, right?"

Listening to Shirou's conversation with Penguin Logistics, Amiya arranged the next steps and asked Blaze, who had just been with the other Penguin Logistics, if they had followed the procedures.

"Oh? That... I'll take them to see the wonderful things about Rhodes Island first! You see, they already have a basic understanding of Rhodes Island! I think this will help with communication between Rhodes Island and Penguin Logistics!"

Upon hearing Amiya's words, Huang froze on the spot, her cat ears and tail twitching restlessly, and even breaking out in a cold sweat.

We absolutely cannot say that she forgot about it because she was having too much fun!

"Huang was having too much fun and forgot."

The kitten standing nearby, holding the terminal in its hand, directly betrayed the big cat.

She had just reminded the other party, but Huang seemed to have woken up from a nap and was in particularly good spirits, so he took the rest of the Penguin Logistics around.

They completely forgot the proper procedures to follow when bringing newcomers to Rhodes Island.

"I'll talk to you about this later. Now, let's take everyone from Penguin Logistics for a comprehensive check-up."

Seeing the awkward expression on Huang's face, Amiya didn't know what to say to him.

While it's fair to say the other party didn't do anything, at least they gave the four members of Penguin Logistics a proper tour of Rhodes Island and left a very good impression.

If you say the other party did something, then they didn't do a single thing they were supposed to do.

Overall, however, there are no major problems; they are all minor issues.

Moreover, there's not much difference between bringing Shirou alone and bringing a whole bunch of people.

"OK."

Seeing that the crisis was over, Huang immediately became obedient.

After finalizing the itinerary, Amiya seemed to suddenly remember something, took out her terminal, tapped it a few times, and then put it away.

Then, with a look of considerable anticipation on his face, he led a group of people toward the personnel department.

"?"

The others, unaware of why Amiya's mood had suddenly improved, were only slightly puzzled before resuming their discussion about what to buy.

Shirou only responded that his pocket was in a bit of danger.

However, those Lungmen Dollars were originally intended by the Emperor to be used as food expenses for everyone at Penguin Logistics, so he didn't feel bad about spending them on everyone now.

However, we need to save some money to see if we can buy some souvenirs for everyone in the Knights of the Round Table, and we can't forget the other kids at Fuyuki Store.

These are all expenses... Luckily, I had planned to do some shopping today anyway, and I brought a lot of Lungmen Dollars with me.

As for the comprehensive physical examination Amiya mentioned, just as its name suggests, it is designed to detect a person's data in various aspects.

Shirou had done this with Is before his first mission with Penguin Logistics, so it wasn't unfamiliar to Isv.

Compared to the original venue, Rhodes Island's venue is clearly more comprehensive.

At least the testing venue is very spacious.

Apart from physiological tolerance, which requires a physical examination to obtain data, almost all other data can be obtained through practical experience.

So today's testing site was ravaged by Penguin Logistics.

Leaving aside the Sarkaz who was holding a gun and shouting "Apulu Sect" while wildly firing training etched Etched Ammunition at the enemy, and the Black Lupo who used multiple Originium Sword to cut through layers of obstacles.

In comparison, Croissant's hammer-based attack style and Sora's support role are much more favorable for the test field.

However, these are all minor issues. It is said that Shirou's destructive power is no less than that of these two, which makes the operators in charge of this area quite nervous today.

Will he be cleaning all night and still not be finished?

"Um... Shirou, are you alright?"

Seeing Shirou stretching out to the side, Sora felt a little worried.

I didn't know it before, but now that I've experienced it a bit, I realize that the overall difficulty on Rhodes Island is even higher, which makes me a little worried.

After all, Shirou wasn't in very good condition just now. Wouldn't suddenly engaging in such a high-intensity battle be bad for his health?

"It's okay, just consider it a workout."

Shirou then produced Gan Jiang Mo Ye in his hand, played with them for a while, and after confirming that his body and Magic Circuits were indeed not in any major condition, he entered the testing field.

Looking at the mostly pure white terrain before him, Shirou's mind raced.

He had just watched the tests of the three people, and each time the hostile scenario and the enemy were based on the weapons in the hands of the test takers.

Exusiai, wielding a gun, will mostly encounter drones as enemies, while Texas, wielding Originium lightsaber, will encounter ground enemies.

Moreover, these so-called tests are not actually using real machines; they seem to use quite advanced technology to simulate battle scenarios that Rhodes Island has faced in the past.

Although the enemies and drones are fake, the damage to the terrain is real.

Exusiai left quite a few bullet holes, and Texas left quite a few sword marks; these all need to be repaired.

Since repairs were necessary, Shirou decided to go all out and test his limits.

When he said "going all out," he didn't mean immediately unleashing a fake Spiral Sword or anything like that. Instead, he meant limiting the Projection output to Gan Jiang Mo Ye.

At most, it would just involve adding a longbow and ordinary arrows.

In fact, he currently possesses a great many combat methods related to Gan Jiang Mo Ye.

Putting aside the fact that the black-clad Executor had even developed the appearance of a gunblade, the double-headed blade's attack mode was also quite formidable.

While Archer's side doesn't have as many fancy moves, it does have a matching combat technique: Crane Wing Triple Strike.

This is a unique skill derived from the mutual attraction between the two swords Gan Jiang Mo Ye Xie.

However, so far, Shirou hasn't encountered an enemy whose defenses he can't break.

Basically, they can be dealt with with a single slash or arrow?

"Now, Operator Shirou, please look ahead. Based on your resume, we will be using some drone aerial units and a large number of ground units for testing."

Before Shirou could continue thinking, the tester's voice rang out.

Shirou then heard the sounds of many machines starting up.

"... That's quite a lot."

Hearing the sounds around him, Shirou weighed the Gan Jiang Mo Ye swords in his hands and turned his attention to what was in front of him.

Soon, many infected creatures came into view.

The sheer number of them was so dense that it almost triggered trypophobia in people outside.

In this situation, Shirou naturally couldn't go forward and hack away with his sword, but instead kept throwing Gan Jiang Mo Ye into the ground.

There are six pairs, or twelve Gan Jiang Mo Ye, scattered across the ground.

Then, Shirou's Magic Circuits flickered, and he planted Gan Jiang Mo Ye Xie directly into the ground.

With these two Gan Jiang Mo Ye, as the center, a large number of Magic Circuits connected to the other twelve swords, emitting a dazzling blue light.

Boom! All enemies within the range of the fourteen Gan Jiang Mo Ye were violently blasted and declared dead.

"Hiss... I was just firing a few shots, Shirou, are you trying to tear Rhodes Island apart?"

Looking at the grand scene before her, Exusiai took a deep breath and exclaimed in amazement.

Although I've seen Shirou take action quite a few times, Shirou usually doesn't cause such a big commotion.

The opponent is more likely to choose to fight in a low-key manner, or if Emiya were to make a big fuss in Lungmen, he would probably be arrested by the Shirou Knights of the Round Table.

"It's alright, compared to the attacks of some mages, Shirou's is just a drop in the ocean."

Upon hearing Exusiai's words, Blaze shook his head.

How could they possibly dismantle Rhodes Island with something like that? If we're really going to talk about it, it's more likely that Rosemary, who's standing nearby, is the one who dismantles Rhodes Island.

"..."

Seeing Huang's expression of being someone who's never seen anything like this before, the Penguin Logistics team really wanted Shirou to demonstrate his Spiral Sword on the spot to show them what it's like.

No, no, we need to calm down. Rhodes Island is a partner, after all. We can't afford to blow up their headquarters.

And Shirou might not even agree!

Turning our attention back to Shirou, after the earlier detonation of the black and white twin swords, Shirou had wiped out most of the ground units and was now sniping at the air units with his longbow.

"..."

Seeing this, the reviewers didn't know how to rate the other party.

I've encountered operators before who could handle large numbers of air and ground units simultaneously, but this one... could you first explain why the arrows can curve in the air and accurately hit the target?
