Chapter 72
After sending messages to Snow Pheasant and Swire, Shirou left with a large bag.
Although Isv said he could go later, he still had to deliver it to Snow Pheasant, and he was also curious about what the Knights of the Round Table's ideological education was like.
"I need to think about buying a bicycle after I get paid, it will be more convenient."
Walking down the street, Shirou felt he should buy a bicycle for transportation, otherwise he would spend a lot of time going to the supermarket and market every time. With a bicycle, he could better manage his time.
It had been a while since he'd ridden a bike, Shirou was starting to miss the feeling of riding one.
Passing by Snow Pheasant's workplace, Shirou said something to the staff at the counter and then left. Snow Pheasant seemed quite busy, usually only checking his phone during his lunch break and after work.
So he sent a message to Snow Pheasant, reminding her to pick up her lunchbox.
"Mr. Shirou, right? Sir Swire just mentioned him."
As soon as he stepped into the Knights of the Round Table, Shirou saw a woman Feline, dressed in the Knights of the Round Table uniform, wave to him and say something.
"Doesn't she hate being called that?"
As Shirou was being led the way, he remembered that the other person had just called him "Swire Sir Swire," so he asked in a low voice.
He remembered that the other party seemed very angry when he shouted last time, and there was no reason why the other party's subordinates would not know about this.
"Ah, I'm used to calling him that in private, but don't tell Officer Swire."
The female Feline gave an "eh-heh" expression, much like Exusiai after doing something wrong and not knowing how to explain herself, then trying to get away with it by being cute.
"I won't tell."
Shirou sighed, thinking to himself that Lungmen was doomed.
The Knights of the Round Table's atmosphere is like this too; isn't that a bit worrying?
"Just go in here and find Officer Swire. It will take a little while for Penguin Logistics to arrive. We'll let you know when that happens."
Seeing that Shirou had promised to keep it a secret, the female Feline breathed a sigh of relief. If Officer Swire knew that they called her "Sir Swire" in private, her workload would probably increase considerably.
Officer Swire is good in every way, except that he is a bit petty about some small details.
Okay.
Shirou didn't ask any questions and simply pushed open the door and went inside, since he had been here before.
Pushing open the door, one enters the office, where the Knights of the Round Table personnel are all working diligently. Without disturbing them, Shirou carefully walks towards Swire's location.
"Hmm? It's Shirou?"
When Swire was staring at the screen, noticed the commotion beside her, she looked up and saw Shirou wearing Penguin Logistics uniform jacket and a red scarf.
If we disregard the shopping bag he's carrying, Shirou's current attire is quite decent, at least much better than before.
Although the people at Penguin Logistics are all eccentric, they have decent taste in clothing.
Swire was busy recording some things when she received a message from Shirou that he was coming to pick her up and that he would also bring some of the Fried Winged Beast Chunk he had just made.
Great news! Shirou Knights of the Round Table!
"Yes, I brought the things."
Shirou put down the bag and took out the bento box inside; it was very large.
Both of these bento boxes belong to Shirou, but he doesn't use them often, so leaving them with the two of them for a few days won't cause any major problems.
"Oh, Shirou, you made Fried Winged Beast Chunk? That looks like a big portion."
Swire first looked around to make sure her natural enemy wasn't there before opening the lunchbox with peace of mind.
If I get caught eating during work hours, we'll probably end up arguing again.
She's not afraid to argue, but she still needs to maintain a certain image in front of the person she's trying to win over, lest the other person's illusions about the Knights of the Round Table be shattered.
What Swire didn't know was that the person who had just led the way had already shattered some of Emiya's illusions about the Knights of the Round Table Shirou.
"Glug..."
When Swire opened the bento box, the distinctive aroma of fried food wafted out, making her swallow hard.
I was mainly hungry. I'd been busy all day and hadn't eaten a proper lunch. I just drank an energy drink and kept going.
Then, after smelling this damn delicious aroma, Swire's mouth watered uncontrollably.
Not only Swire, but all the other Knights of the Round Table in the office who had been busy all day looked towards Swire.
It's just like when you've been busy at work all day, and then you order a bucket of KFC to enjoy, only to have your colleagues look at you with longing eyes.
"* Longmen Curses * What kind of stuff do the people at Penguin Logistics usually eat?"
Swired a piece of fried Fowlbeast with a wooden skewer and watched the glistening juices flow out. After taking a bite, Swire truly felt that leaving Shirou with Penguin Logistics was a waste of talent.
92. The Imaginary Break of the food -Exusiai has collapsed!
Let's rewind a bit and look at the Lungmen Ring Road.
"Hey Texas, are these headphones you recommended really okay?"
Exusiai, in the passenger seat, was scrolling through a tablet. The screen showed conversations from a chat room that had been set up the previous night, mainly about headphones.
"These were all recommended online when I was looking for them last month."
Texas, who usually carries a Pocky Texas in his mouth, said.
She knew what Exusiai was talking about; after all, the names of the headphones had been getting weirder and weirder lately.
Poetic ones are one thing, but some that are chosen in a very childish way to attract the attention of a certain childish person are another.
Is the MSR7 really okay?
Although the pun is just a linguistic issue, many sellers are using this name to promote their products, which is why people are looking at her strangely now.
Texas regrets posting all her undeleted shopping carts online last night.
"Ranking recommendation? Hmm... okay."
Hearing that it was a ranking recommendation, Exusiai decided to wait and see for a while longer.
After all, it's a gift, and the unit price is quite high, so we can't afford to lose out!
These headphones, bought with the hard work and salaries of four people from Penguin Logistics, can't be sloppy!
Ah-Puru Pie! Ah-Puru Pie!
Exusiai's phone beeped with a message. She opened the message and found it was a voice message from Croissant. Exusiai opened it immediately.
"Sister Neng! I've bought the headphones!"
"???"
Exusiai looked completely Croissant. How did Croissant have the money to buy headphones?
They haven't received their salaries yet, have they?
With doubts in her mind, Exusiai clicked on the second voice message.
"Sorry, after delivering the goods with Croissant, I passed by a shop and Croissant took me inside for a quick look, and then I bought something..."
The empty tone in her voice was filled with helplessness, Exusiai probably guess where Croissant's money came from.
How outrageous! She rarely searches so diligently, but that Bread Man just beat her to it!
Give her back her seriousness!
"Have you already bought the Croissant?"
Since Exusiai wasn't using headphones, the sound from the phone naturally reached Texas's ears, who was driving nearby.
Croissant was just curious about how Texas had managed to convince Sora to pay for the headphones first.
Hmm... I didn't expect that. Anyway, since I have some free time, Croissant shouldn't cause any trouble.
"Open up the market, open up the market!"
Exusiai put her phone away. Since she had already made the purchase, she no longer needed to research what else to buy.
It's uncertain whether she'll even receive her salary this month; the newly purchased batch of Etched Ammunition required prior funding from the boss.
Fortunately, Etched Ammunition is not needed much in Lungmen, otherwise she would have gone bankrupt sooner or later.
"Let's ask Sora and the others where they are, and then go pick them up."
Seeing that Exusiai was already in full swing, Texas had no choice but to find something for her to do.
She can't be the only one suffering at work.
"Um... they said they'd wait for us in front of the beverage shop on OO Road, and asked us what we wanted to drink."
Having received instructions from Texas, Exusiai but to take out her phone again for a friendly conversation, confirm her location, and receive a free drink.
It seems that Croissant is quite guilty about her actions; the fact that she's willing to spend money to treat others is enough to show that she is quite self-aware about the matter.
"Just have Kong order it for me."
Looking at their current location, Texas needs to turn the car around and go back to pick up the two people.
She didn't mind the drinks; she could just ask Sora to order them for her, as she trusted Sora completely.
The main problem was that I didn't know what to drink, so I just left it to Kong.
Okay.
Exusiai typed on her phone, sent the message, then put the phone away and stopped fiddling with it.
She was quite clever; she knew that if she opened up, Texas would definitely arrest her again, so she just pretended to be watching the road.
Texas saw through this little scheme, but as long as it wasn't made public, Texas wouldn't go looking for trouble for her partner.
With Texas focused on driving Exusiai focused on looking out the window, the car quickly pulled up in front of the beverage shop.
"It's so cold!"
After getting in the car, Croissant put down her drink and pulled up her collar to let the cold air from inside the car seep into her clothes and cool her down.
After all, she had just been running around and was waiting for Texas and Exusiai under the blazing sun. Under all those conditions and with the direct sunlight, she had sweated quite a bit.
"Croissant, you really are something."
Sora, standing to the side, looked at Croissant's Croissant attitude with a helpless expression.
Right after delivering the goods, Croissant dragged her around, and only after being persuaded by the other party did she pay for the headphones first.
However, she herself did not know what kind of headphones Croissant had bought. The other party had even asked the shop owner to pack them up, and now she was carrying them herself.
Croissant convinced Sora because she said she had gone to so many stores and finally found it, and it would be terrible if she missed it.
After weighing the options, Sora felt that paying upfront was fine; if Croissant really caused trouble, then she could make her pay the full amount later.
She's not some kind of demon; she can offer installment payments.
What kind did you buy?
After the car started, Exusiai stopped dazed and started asking the empty space in the back seat.
After all, the thing wrapped up like a gift in his empty hand was very eye-catching.
"I don't know, Croissant said it's a secret."
Kong put the things aside and carefully stored them to avoid them getting bumped.
"Hehe, don't worry! I checked the reviews, it's definitely a good product."
Croissant flashed a bright smile and gave a thumbs-up.
"... You didn't actually buy some kind of Feline headphone, did you?"
Looking at Croissant's expression, Exusiai remembered the Feline headphones Croissant had mentioned last night.
Although it feels like a good fit, I just don't know if Shirou can accept this unique style of headphone.
"Tsk tsk tsk, do I look like that kind of person?"
Croissant crossed her arms and shook her head as she spoke.
Although she kept recommending the Feline Headphones, thinking that Shirou would look really funny wearing Feline, she wasn't that superficial.
The headphones she chose absolutely meet the needs of everyone at Penguin Logistics, and they match Shirou perfectly—she's certain of that!
"It's not just similar, it's exactly the same."
