Chapter 881

Let's set a small goal for this trip—first, to make one hundred friends.

"Ah?"

Ignoring Artoria's confused cry, Shirou threw a punch.

"------Thump!"

The Fang Clan, billowing black smoke and baring its fangs and claws as it lunged forward, was sent flying.

Because it happened so suddenly, no one saw what was going on.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent.

Artoria, Hope, and the other fairies were all stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"W-what happened? What's going on?"

Shirou didn't stop; he walked towards another guy who was about to turn into an evil fairy.

Long, slender, and strong fingers wrapped around the thick right wrist of the Fang Clan.

Shirou's proud and upright body twisted and bent like a snake, passing under his right arm.

The next instant, he used a gesture similar to that of someone placing their arm around an injured person's shoulder to pin the fairy's right hand behind her shoulder.

Then—I slammed my left elbow into the center of his chest, while simultaneously sweeping away the leg that was supporting his weight with my left foot.

Shirou is now able to Projection things that are no longer limited to swords and Magecraft.

Even martial Martial Arts other than swordsmanship can be copied after just one glance.

That elbow strike just now was a technique Shirou learned from Rin Tohsaka.

After Shirou grabbed the other's wrist, all the movements were completed in one swift motion.

This is the highest level of Baji Quan, a routine that integrates offense and defense.

The Fang Clan was slammed to the ground, the powerful impact causing him to foam at the mouth and break at least several of his ribs.

He instantly took down two fairies, but Shirou looked at the others as if nothing had happened.

"Alright, who's next?"

Of course, the fairies are simple-minded, not stupid, and none of them would be foolish enough to challenge Shirou.

"Okay, you're next."

"Huh? Me? Me?"

"That's right, it's you! Once our eyes meet, it's time to fight!"

In an instant, Shirou appeared behind the unlucky guy who had met his gaze and hugged him around the waist.

The fairy looked down at Shirou's hands, which were locked around her body, and muttered to herself.

"This... this couldn't be...?"

"Correct answer. Not bad, it seems even the Fae Kingdom knows about the German back throw."

"No ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The fairy, who was being held by Shirou, screamed in agony, and then saw the sky and earth rapidly spinning before her head slammed heavily onto the ground.

Shirou's fighting style is very standard because it is a technique he copied from his other wife Luvia.

"Wow... that's amazing..."

Artoria was speechless.

Hope, on the other hand, was frozen in place because the development was so sudden.

The troublemaking fairies were also frightened.

At this moment, Harobaromia, the leader, finally reacted and shouted loudly.

"Stop him... stop him! He's not an ordinary human! Everyone, attack him together!"

That's correct.

Shirou wore a pleased expression; he was already used to ganging up on the fairies all by himself.

"It's fine if you call, but be prepared, I won't hold back."

After Shirou finished speaking calmly, he waved his hand in a "bring it on" gesture, and many fairies stepped back.

However, his own clan was defeated, and the already warlike Fang Clan seemed to have their fighting spirit ignited, and they all attacked him together.

The surprise attack seems to have worked; this time, almost no one turned into an evil fairy.

Of course, this doesn't mean Shirou will show mercy.

There were still a few suspicious individuals among them; let's start by dealing with them.

Among the multiple Fang Clan, Shirou prioritizes targeting those shrouded in an ominous aura.

The fairies were sent flying like cannonballs by Baji Quan, or subjected to professional wrestling moves, making intimate contact with the earth.

When Shirou began his Musou attack, several fairies, seeing the situation was turning against them, tried to run away.

That won't do.

Shirou teleported in front of them, grasped their faces, and raised them with one hand.

Ignoring his pleas for mercy, he slammed him heavily to the ground.

Perhaps because the battle scenes were so brutal, Hope couldn't bear to watch and covered her face with her hands.

"What a good boy," Shirou thought to himself.

Why didn't a girl like her become a role model for fairies?

Why do you have to bully such a pitiful child?

In that case, the world would surely be a more beautiful place.

Morgan and I wouldn't have had to work so hard.

Shirou grew angrier the more he thought about it, and increased the force slightly.

As for Hope, you should just stay where you are and don't need to change yourself to survive.

Shirou glanced at Artoria, who immediately understood and helped cover the blue-haired girl's eyes.

"Give them a good beating!"

Artoria moved her lips and mouthed the words.

After all, Artoria also had many grievances against the fairies.

There was no other way; since it was the fairy of the Paradise Fae who asked for it, I could only comply with her expectations.

After Shirou demonstrated his power, the fairies' resistance became quite futile.

Although there were a few resentful members of the Fang Clan, Shirou silenced them with his fists.

In addition, there were female Wind Clan rushed forward with glee, shouting, "Please do the same to me! Beat me up!"

Shirou found it so disgusting that he choked her with a chop to quiet her down.

Just like that, two minutes later, all the fairies in the village had fallen to the ground, scattered and broken.

Such scenes were actually quite common during my last trip to the Fae Kingdom.

However, this time there was no bloodshed, and all the fairies' limbs remained intact.

Shirou didn't kill a single fairy, perfectly controlling his strength.

However, his terrifying strength was deeply etched into the hearts of the fairies, and the hierarchy of power had penetrated deep into their souls.

The Nameless Forest is a border region that even the Fae Queen cannot touch.

The fairies living there are all losers who have forgotten their "purpose," are unable to pay their "Existence Tax," and have been eliminated by the Fae Kingdom.

Since he was a non-citizen whom Morgan didn't want, Shirou accepted him.

Then.

At his "plea," everyone in the village voluntarily became friends with Artoria and Hope.

After Shirou passed through the mountains where the Nameless Forest was located, a fairy dressed in gorgeous attire appeared by the roadside.

He was dressed like Prince from a Shakespeare play, wearing a crown and with colorful butterfly wings growing from his back.

"Hey everyone, nice to meet you all."

Upon hearing his voice, Artoria's eyes widened.

"No way, you are... you, you wouldn't be...?"

"Although a king shouldn't do this, since my attendants aren't around, I'll take the initiative to state my name!"

A fairy, seemingly from the Wind Clan, gave her name with an exaggerated expression.

"My name is Oberon, the Fae King Oberon. How about that? Pretty cool, right?"

"... You said you're Oberon?"

Shirou gestured for Artoria to step behind him and narrowed his eyes.

"Shirou, Shirou Amamiya."

"Uh... nice to meet you."

The fairy who called himself Oberon felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at by the white-haired youth's twilight-colored eyes.

"Speaking of which... what's the deal with the people behind you?"

Oberon stared in astonishment at the vast procession behind Shirou.

"They are my team members."

Shirou gave a brief reply, Oberon's eyes widened again, his mind blank.

"... member?"

Shirou nodded. "That's right, we just formed Theater Company."

The traveling Theater Company that tours Britain will perform classic plays on Pan-Human History in various locations on an irregular basis.

This is our Theater Company's star actress, Cinderella from the Nameless Village, the rising star of the Fae Kingdom... Come on, say hello."

"Huh? Me? Me? Aren't you Miss Artoria!?"

Whether it was establishing a traveling Theater Company or becoming a leading actress, this was the first time Hope had ever heard of it.

Her face flushed red, and she stammered, bowing her head, "Please... please take care of me in the future!"

"...?"

Oberon and Artoria were at a loss for how to react.

Incidentally, Shirou did not obtain the fairies' consent when he formed the Theater Company; it was entirely by force.

It should be said that after giving them a good beating, Shirou entered into a mandatory contract with them.

This is not based on the master-servant contract Principle of the Fuyuki City Holy Grail War, nor is it the same as Morgan's control over fairies and world domination through "Command Spell" and "Existence Tax".

This is a subspecies application of Shirou's "Fae Domain".

Although Shirou also effectively controlled the fairies, he didn't go as far as the Queen and didn't drain their life force.

Those who became Shirou's subordinates were probably all there willingly...

"We're comrades, right?"

Shirou smiled and turned to look at his bandmates, only to be met with a chorus of sighs.

"Commander, can I take a break? My back is really hurting!"

"Don't joke around, the fairies of the Earth Clan wouldn't have back pain over something like this."

The Earth Clan fairy responsible for carrying the luggage complained, to which Shirou responded mercilessly.

"If you want to turn into a cannonball and fly into the sky, just tell me, and I can save you some walking, Onfamu."
