I'm Just the Shopkeeper's Daughter Passing By (Fifth Update) / When I'm Extremely Angry (Sixth Update) ...

"Probably." Goetia, unaware of Mikaela's inner 'bitterness,' looked at the statue of Mikaela and said calmly, "There are words under the statue; take a look for yourself."

Goetia thoughtfully zoomed in on the image so that Mikaela wouldn't have to squint to see the lines of small text beneath the statue.

"Thank you for everything, Lady Mikaela?"

Mikaela was slightly taken aback. What had she done in that world? To have a stone sculpture specially commissioned for worship?

"She drove out the White Giant God, fought against the Abyssal Being, otherworldly gods, and Alien Beast. She even single-handedly killed three Creation God who invaded that world. In the end, she was severely injured by a weapon developed by the enemy. Because of her fall, the solar system was completely destroyed."

As Holmes walked through the Atlas Institute, he said calmly, "This is the story of 'that person'."

Chapter 465 I'm Just a Shopkeeper's Daughter Passing By (Fifth Update)

Atlas Institute.

"...He is actually that strong?" A look of shock appeared in Lancelot's eyes.

"These things are not to be revealed." Holmes smiled gently, looking at Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him. "You should know very well that the Mikaela you speak of is not the same person as the one I know."

"Kindness."

The Shopkeeper's Daughter nodded slightly, looking at Holmes with some surprise, and said, "To be honest, I'm quite surprised who gave you this ability to traverse the world."

"???"

Holmes looked at the Shopkeeper's Daughter behind him with some surprise. He seemed quite taken aback as to when she had appeared beside them.

"Eh?! When did you get here?" Tang Sanzang was also surprised. She didn't know the Shopkeeper's Daughter, but just before they were about to leave, the girl had said that she was going to find Mikaela.

Then she subconsciously assumed that the other person had gone to find Mikaela, but when did she infiltrate the group?

"This... Miss is a friend of Lady Ella," Hassan of the Arm quickly said, knowing that most people here were not familiar with the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

The loyal and righteous Hassan of the Arm originally intended to reveal the Shopkeeper's Daughter's name, but after thinking for a long time, he realized that he didn't know it and could only address her as "Miss".

"Uh-huh..." Hassan of the Hundred Faces also seemed quite guilty, after all, she didn't know the Shopkeeper's Daughter's name either, what was her name?!

"A friend?" Holmes narrowed his eyes, scrutinized the Shopkeeper's Daughter for a moment, and then smiled. "So you're someone 'hidden' by the world. No wonder I didn't notice you immediately."

"I'm used to it. After all, I'm someone the world has abandoned." The Shopkeeper's Daughter shrugged. She was used to being ignored. However, she looked at Holmes and said calmly, "To be honest, you give me a very annoying feeling, although I'm not talking about you personally."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash were a little confused, not knowing what the Shopkeeper's Daughter was talking about.

This friend of Sister Ella's said that she found Holmes very annoying, but she also said that she didn't hate Holmes himself.

"Hahaha~ I'm well aware that I'm disliked." Holmes showed no displeasure, but instead revealed an owl-like smile.

Every ability comes at a price.

As an ordinary detective, what makes him so special that he has the power to travel between worlds at will?

Of course, the same goes for that guy named Mikaela, who has a power that is similar to but different from her own.

"By the way, your name is Fujimaru, right?" The Shopkeeper's Daughter stepped forward and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Um... what's wrong?" Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed hard, feeling quite nervous, since it was the first time she had met someone who claimed to be Sister Ella's friend.

Neither Ryougi Shiki nor Asagami Fujino claimed to be Mikaela's friend; they were merely acquaintances.

Our actual relationship hasn't reached the level of friendship yet.

Asagami Fujino believes that Mikaela is her savior, who truly opened a door to another world for her.

She hoped to become Mikaela's lover, but now they weren't even friends, which was rather ridiculous.

The same goes for the two men behind him, Mr. Emiya and Ms. Irisviel; they also stated frankly that they were business partners, not friends.

So now that she's met someone who claims to be Sister Ella's friend, she's still very nervous.

"Hmm~ You look quite like your mother." After carefully observing Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Shopkeeper's Daughter smiled gently and said, "Time flies so fast. It's been so long in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the deep impression 'Ella' left on me, I would have almost forgotten about your mother."

"Huh?" Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head, clearly not expecting that the other person actually knew her mother.

"Eh—!!!!"

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a strange scream, startling Mash was standing nearby.

"You, you, you, you!! You're that ordinary passerby who saved my parents?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the Shopkeeper's Daughter.

Fujimaru Ritsuka once asked her mother and father, "If Sister Ella is so amazing, why did she come to work for our family?"

With her abilities, wouldn't it be comfortable for her to work for a wealthy and powerful family?

Why would someone want to work as a maid at their house? You should know that the Fujimaru Ritsuka family isn't wealthy; their average standard of living in Japan is only considered below average.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka was still young at that time, she had a good memory and naturally remembered the various strange powers that Mikaela had displayed.

Although Sister Ella is blind, her strength is terrifying, and she is not a normal person from any angle.

Later, Fujimaru Ritsuka's mother told us that when she and Fujimaru Ritsuka's father were traveling in Fuyuki City, they were almost burned to death by a pile of Black Mud. At that time, she was pregnant and had great difficulty moving around.

Fortunately, a female passerby helped them and rescued them.

At the time, Fujimaru Ritsuka complained, "Why do you call her an ordinary female passerby?"

Later, Fujimaru Ritsuka's mother replied that she didn't want to address her benefactor that way either, but that was what the other person had said at the time.

"I'm just an ordinary female passerby, you don't need to remember me," Fujimaru Ritsuka said excitedly. She never expected to meet her parents' savior here.

"Kindness?"

The Shopkeeper's Daughter blinked, looking somewhat puzzled. She said with a strange expression, "Didn't I say that I was just the Shopkeeper's Daughter of a Maid Cafe I was passing by?"

"..."

Silence, a deathly silence.

Compared to the lines spoken by Fujimaru Ritsuka, the lines spoken by the Shopkeeper's Daughter were quite convoluted.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little embarrassed. She seemed to have inadvertently learned some strange news. It turned out that her mother had lied all along.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka can understand her mother. After all, if her savior appeared and used such lines, she would definitely subconsciously embellish them.

"So, why does she call herself the Shopkeeper's Daughter?" Holmes quipped.

The Shopkeeper's Daughter argued confidently, "My mom owns Maid Cafe, I'm her daughter, and Aila-chan works for my mom. Since so much time has passed, I've almost forgotten my real name, so it's reasonable for me to call myself the Shopkeeper's Daughter."

"I see." Holmes knew that 'Mikaela' liked to wear maid outfits. Although he was a man, she seemed to only like wearing maid outfits and rarely wore other clothes.

Holmes knows that the other person is just used to wearing this outfit and is too lazy to change.

P. S.: "The thought of having to write six more chapters makes my heart sink. Please give me some razor blades."

Chapter 466 In a State of Extreme Anger (Sixth Update)

"So, what are you doing here with us?" Holmes asked the Shopkeeper's Daughter with a hint of helplessness. "Did you go to see Mikaela? Why are you here?"

"I can't find her," the Shopkeeper's Daughter said helplessly. She looked at Holmes and said, "I went over to look for Aila-chan, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find her, so I came to visit you guys."

"???"

Mash looked puzzled and asked the Shopkeeper's Daughter, "How did you find us, and how did you infiltrate the group? Why didn't we notice you?"

She still had some impression of the Shopkeeper's Daughter; the daughter had told them that she was going to find Mikaela.

The next second, she strode away into the distance. Because of her departure, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, led by Lancelot, prepared to search for the blonde girl in Atlas Institute.

Instead of finding the blonde girl, she found the famous Holmes.

Mash was very excited when she saw Holmes, as was Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After all, the two of them were fans of Holmes, whose reputation was extremely high; practically no one in the world was unaware of this famous detective.

However, Lancelot was quite puzzled as to why the person he found was this one who laughed like an owl, instead of the blonde girl who resembled the My King.

Now, Mash is very curious as to why the Shopkeeper's Daughter, who has been away from them for some time, was able to find them and even 'infiltrate' the group.

"Hahaha~ Well~" The Shopkeeper's Daughter's gaze was somewhat unfocused, then she seemed to have thought of something and said seriously, "This is my own ability, so you don't need to think about it."

"After all, people's physical condition cannot be generalized. After failing to find Aila-chan, I fell into a state of extreme anger! Then I came directly to you, and incidentally erased my own presence, and started to listen in."

"Anger? To erase your existence?" Mash was a little embarrassed. She seemed to understand why her senior's expression had been so subtle just now.

It would be quite awkward for anyone to talk to her.

As expected, no one who can become friends with Ella-senpai is simple.

The other party was clearly talking nonsense, claiming that in a state of extreme anger, they could instantly find them and then conveniently erase their presence to blend into the group.

It's important to know that this isn't an ordinary team; apart from Fujimaru Ritsuka, everyone Servant.

Among them are assassins who can erase their own presence.

Judging from the expressions of the Hassan just now, they obviously didn't notice that the Shopkeeper's Daughter had mixed into the group.

However, this also relieved Mash, who secretly became more vigilant, thankfully the Shopkeeper's Daughter was not an enemy.

If it were an enemy, a sudden attack at close range could very likely kill Fujimaru Ritsuka.

By then, Mash won't even have a chance to regret it.

"That's roughly the gist of it~ Don't overthink it~" The Shopkeeper's Daughter waved her hand, clearly not intending to reveal her abilities. She focused her gaze on Holmes and continued, "Where were you just now? Ella became the savior."

"Not a savior," Holmes said with a smile. "She became the last spark, the hope of that world."

"Hope?" The Shopkeeper's Daughter curled her lip, a clear hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She looked at the mechanical facility that had suddenly appeared in front of her and slowly said, "The 'fire seed' is both hope and despair. In any case, it's just a wanderer."

The Shopkeeper's Daughter is a human from another world. She is not very powerful, and everything she has was given to her by the 'Mikaela'.

Immortality, spatial travel, and the power of laws that can threaten the world—all these are powers granted by the 'Mikaela'.

If possible, wouldn't it be better for the Shopkeeper's Daughter not to have these powers, but to die together with that Aila-chan?

Why let her live alone? She didn't want to live anymore!

However, after learning that many Aila-chan had wandered to different worlds and needed 'guidance', she reluctantly put aside her suicidal thoughts and decided to help all the Mikaela, guide them to increase their power, and then successfully return to their own worlds.

"You're different from her; she's not as pessimistic."

Holmes, clearly a witness to that event, said slowly, "I am much like you, having been to many worlds and witnessed many things. When I arrived in her world, it was already on the verge of destruction, and outsiders could not interfere in the battles of that world."

"She asked me to remember the knowledge of this world, and if possible, she hoped that I could take some of it to other worlds."

"Unfortunately, I am just a traveler. Although I can bring back some local specialties, the things she entrusted to me are items that cannot be 'carried'."

At this point, Holmes appeared rather helpless.

If he dares to take 'that thing', the world's Counter Force will absolutely not allow him to return, and may even send Servant to eliminate him.

Because those are items that bring misfortune.

"..." The Shopkeeper's Daughter rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

The arrow destroyed the mechanical equipment in front of him. Arash glanced at the Shopkeeper's Daughter and Holmes, but he didn't say anything.

After all, he couldn't understand what the two were talking about.

"In that case, it seems that Aila-chan from my other world also gave me something." The Shopkeeper's Daughter suddenly spoke up, looking at Holmes calmly and saying, "What she gave me was a gem, a gem that had dried up."

"!?"

Holmes suddenly stopped, picked up his pipe and put it in his mouth. He looked at the Shopkeeper's Daughter and said calmly, "That is the Divine Core from Otherworld God."

"As expected." The Shopkeeper's Daughter smiled, seemingly unsurprised.

After all, Mikaela from her world, after giving her this thing and all her power after the final battle, decisively banished her from this world.

When the Shopkeeper's Daughter returned to her original world with the help of the next Mikaela, only absolute darkness remained.

The earth was lifeless, devoid of any living beings or other organisms; it was utterly destroyed.

The arrival of the Shopkeeper's Daughter and Mikaela was the final straw that broke the camel's back; the world was completely destroyed, leaving not even a trace.

This also led to the Shopkeeper's Daughter becoming a homeless person in the true sense.

Chapter 467 Don't Be Afraid (Seventh Update)

"..."

The room fell silent; Holmes and the Shopkeeper's Daughter suddenly stopped talking.
