Journey to Find Heroic Spirits

Yuxian almost stumbled from the force of her slap, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, speechless.

The atmosphere in the living room became a bit strange, but with his mediation, they at least didn't come to blows.

Little Jack, completely unfazed by the atmosphere, looked up at Fafnir and asked, "Are you still playing?"

"Yeah!" Fafnir nodded heavily, deciding to continue challenging the monsters in the game. He understood that he couldn't make a move here.

Seeing Fafnir return to his game, Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled Siegfried down to sit, looking at his uniform and asking curiously, "Brother Fei, why are you working as a delivery man?"

"I'm sorry, I've disgraced the Master..."

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Yuxian quickly waved his hand to explain, "I meant you shouldn't be short on money, don't you have that..."

Siegfried understood what Yuxian was referring to. He glanced at Illya beside him. "Rhinegold is a cursed treasure, and it's currently held by the Einzbern family... I'm truly sorry."

Yuxian felt a flood of emotions. Life was truly hard! Even a dragon-slaying hero needed to deliver packages to make a living.

He felt incredibly ashamed of himself for always being unproductive.

But then again, Mr. Golden's treasury was full of all sorts of treasures. As his Master, it was only natural to ask for a little money from him, right?

Making the Master work would be an insult to him. Yuxian decided to use this reason to ask for things next time...

Hmm, to be safe, he should bring Little Enkidu!

Thanks to White Horizon for the tip!

Section 65: The Gap is Quite Large

Yuxian chatted with Siegfried for a while, exchanging stories about their experiences during this time.

"By the way, Brother Fei, have you encountered anyone else from Chaldea?" Yuxian, knowing he had been in this world for quite some time, asked, hoping to get some clues.

"I'm sorry, I haven't met anyone else." Siegfried shook his head, expressing his regret.

But then he seemed to remember something and quickly found the latest newspaper, unfolding it in front of Yuxian. He pointed to a report and said, "Master, look, here's one."

Yuxian and Mash were very curious and leaned in to read carefully.

The huge headline that greeted them read:

"Renowned Photographer Georgios's Exhibition Confirmed for Next Stop in Akihabara Next Year."

Alongside it was a large photo of a man in formal attire, standing tall and smiling at the camera. Behind him were many framed pictures, showing landscapes, animals, people, and buildings.

Mash's face showed surprise, and she said incredulously, "Is that... Teacher Georgios? He's this famous here?"

Just then, Kobayashi also poked her head over. Seeing the report in the newspaper, she said, "Oh, it's George. He's indeed very famous. His photography is known for capturing the most authentic moments. He's having an exhibition in Japan?"

Yuxian and Mash exchanged glances. They were almost certain that the man in the photo was Georgios.

It was just that while Siegfried was working overtime delivering packages for a living, Georgios had already become a celebrity, holding exhibitions everywhere. The gap was quite significant!

Thinking about this, Yuxian couldn't help but glance at Siegfried. Both were dragon-slaying heroes, but Brother Fei, you're doing way worse!

Sensing Yuxian's gaze, Siegfried lowered his head. "I'm sorry..."

Yuxian was immediately speechless. He couldn't tell if Siegfried was being too humble or genuinely lacked confidence.

"Since it's confirmed that Teacher George is coming, we'll go find him then." Yuxian noted down the specific date of the exhibition, planning to bring the whole crew over.

Hearing Yuxian's words from the side, Kobayashi asked with confusion, "Do you know Mr. George?"

"Yes, he's our companion," Mash explained. "Speaking of which, Teacher Georgios's first camera was a gift from Senpai."

"Right!" Yuxian immediately nodded emphatically. "Everyone will go together then, Kobayashi, you too. We're going to freeload and feast, seeing him exhibit his works everywhere, he must be quite wealthy!"

It was getting late, and the gathering was coming to an end. The little ones were tired. Yuxian and Kobayashi said their goodbyes and returned to their homes. They lived in the same building, which was very convenient.

Upon entering the house, Yuxian re-established the contract with Siegfried.

With the contract complete, Yuxian looked at the luminous screen on the back of his right hand.

Command Spells: Can be used to issue special commands to Servants by consuming them. Consumed Command Spells will recover by 1 each day at midnight.

Effect 1: Strengthen. (LV2)

Effect 2: Recover. (LV2)

Effect 3: ???

Current Contracted Servants: 9

Other than the increase in the number of contracted Servants, nothing else changed. Yuxian didn't dwell on it and looked up at Siegfried, saying, "Brother Fei, you can live here from now on too. There are still rooms available."

Siegfried hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head. "I'm sorry, Master, I'll stay in my original dormitory. It's closer to the company, making commuting more convenient."

"Alright, then let's keep in touch." Yuxian didn't force it. This world wasn't dangerous, and it wasn't necessary for Siegfried to move in. He seemed to have adapted to life here, and Yuxian didn't want to disrupt his rhythm.

After re-establishing the contract, it was already very late. Siegfried got up to leave, waving goodbye.

Yuxian watched his retreating back and called out from a distance, "Be careful on your way, stay safe."

Closing the door, Yuxian turned to see Mash looking at him with a strange expression.

Yuxian was puzzled and quickly checked himself, finding nothing particularly out of the ordinary. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mash said speechlessly, "Senpai, have you forgotten that Mr. Siegfried has the Riding Skill, and also a near-immortal body? Is it a bit redundant for Senpai to tell him to be careful?"

Yuxian immediately understood Mash's meaning, but he wasn't going to admit he'd forgotten for a moment. He retorted, "That was me showing concern!"

Then he changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, having the Riding Skill is perfect for delivering packages. Do you think Artoria might also be delivering packages in some world?"

"Impossible!" Mash denied the guess without thinking. "The salary for delivering packages wouldn't even cover Miss Artoria's food expenses!"

"Then what do you think she'd be doing?"

Yuxian became a little curious. Today, he had learned about the different lives Siegfried and Georgios led. With so many people in Chaldea, they must all have different lifestyles. He was suddenly curious and really wanted to know what everyone was up to.

Mash pursed her lips and thought seriously for a moment before saying somewhat uncertainly, "She's probably living somewhere that provides room and board..."

Yuxian didn't let his imagination run wild too much. He was increasingly looking forward to meeting the other Heroic Spirits.

In the following days, Yuxian became completely idle. This world was very peaceful, which meant he felt no pressure at all.

The date for Teacher Qiao's photography exhibition was still far away. During this time, he had no idea what to do with himself, spending his days sprawled on the sofa, doing nothing.

After a while, Mash couldn't stand it anymore. She suggested, "Senpai, shouldn't you find a job like Mr. Siegfried? You can't keep going like this!"

"No way!" Yuxian refused without thinking. Working part-time was impossible, absolutely impossible. He could only barely get by with the help of the Servants bound by contract.

Mash couldn't do anything about him. If Little Jeanne wasn't there to supervise, Yuxian would probably just eat, sleep, sleep, and eat, doing nothing all day.

Seeing only Yuxian in the room, she couldn't find the little ones. She asked, "Where are Illya and the others?"

"They went to play with Kanna," Yuxian replied lazily. Then he thought about how Jack had been running to Kobayashi's house a lot lately. He said to Mash, "Why don't we buy some game consoles too? It's not good for them to always be going to Kobayashi's house."

Jack had recently become obsessed with games and wasn't as clingy to Yuxian as before. Yuxian felt a little disappointed and decided to win her back from the games.

He was still quite confident in his gaming skills. Since he was extremely bored lately, buying a game console to play together would not only bring him closer to the kids but also help pass the boring time.

Killing two birds with one stone, it was perfect!

ps:

Brother Fei's new Mystic Code is pretty cool!

The key is that he's wearing glasses too!!!

Ah Wei is dead!

Section 66 Chapter 6: Will the Master Lie to You?

Illya and the others came to play with Kanna. They saw Kanna leaning on the railing in the corridor, looking down at the road below.

A line of elementary school students was walking along the sidewalk on the road. Kanna's big eyes sparkled, and her gaze revealed envy.

"What are you looking at, Kanna-chan?" Little Jeanne, who was close with Kanna, walked over and leaned on the railing with her.

Seeing the elementary school students on the road, Little Jeanne asked, "Kanna-chan, do you want to go to school?"

"Mhm!" Kanna nodded heavily, her face filled with envy and her expression full of anticipation.

"Then let's ask Kobayashi to help you find a school!" Little Jeanne proactively took on the task, preparing to go find Kobayashi.

Seeing this, Gretel and Illya immediately hugged her from both sides.

"Jack, come help! We absolutely cannot let her bring up going to school, or we'll be forced to go to school too!" Gretel loudly requested help from Jack, who looked completely bewildered.

Illya also nodded repeatedly. She absolutely never wanted to be in fifth grade again; she was already tired of being in fifth grade every time.

Only Little Jeanne would take going to school seriously. The others all didn't want to go to school.

However, they knew very well that if Little Jeanne told Yuxian their request, Yuxian would definitely agree and demand that they go to school.

In that case, their days of happily playing would be gone forever.

Kanna looked at Little Jeanne, who was being hugged by several people, with confusion, finding it amusing. She let out an "Oh" and joined the hug.

Thus, Little Jeanne was wrapped like a zongzi from all sides...

Hearing the commotion outside, Kobayashi and Tohru came out of the house. Seeing the five of them comically hugging each other tightly, she was amused.

"Are you playing a game?" Kobayashi asked.

"Kanna-chan wants to go to school!" Little Jeanne, unable to move while being hugged, could still speak. She loudly told Kobayashi about Kanna wanting to go to school.

"She's lying! Kanna doesn't want to go to school!"

"Yes, yes, we all know Kanna is a dragon. Why would a dragon need to go to school?"

Kobayashi was confused by the children's rapid-fire statements, but she gathered that the cause of the matter was Kanna. She bent down and asked Kanna, "Kanna, do you want to go to school?"

"Mhm!" Kanna nodded heavily.

Hearing Kanna's answer, Gretel and Illya covered their faces in unison. Their worst fear had come true.

Seeing that Kobayashi now knew, they stopped hugging Little Jeanne, but their eyes still glared fiercely at her.

Kobayashi prepared to send Kanna to school, and Yuxian quickly learned about it. Seeing Illya and Gretel looking at him with pitiful eyes, he couldn't help but soften.

However, he ultimately steeled his heart and made them all go to school together.

Illya said in a very wronged tone, "I've already been in fifth grade several times, can I not go?"

"Hmm, that is indeed a problem." Yuxian stroked his chin, thinking it was a genuine issue.

"Then I won't go to school this time!" Illya's face immediately brightened upon seeing a glimmer of hope.

Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "Then Illya can go to sixth grade this time."

"Huh?" Illya's face instantly fell, and she silently slumped onto the sofa, not wanting to speak.

Gretel, on the other hand, looked furious and said to Yuxian, "Master, if you make me go to school, I'll run away from home! I'll never come back!"

Yuxian put on a stern face and said, "Running away from home is not allowed!"

He immediately instructed Jack beside him, "Jack, from now on, you will stay with Alice. Go wherever she goes."

"Okay!" Jack was very obedient, feeling no burden of betrayal.

She was indifferent to the idea of going to school. Although she felt it was unnecessary, she would do as Yuxian asked.

"Master! You'll lose Alice this way!" Gretel shouted.

Gretel's fierce resistance gave Yuxian a headache, and he had to seriously counsel her.

He pulled Gretel in front of him and said earnestly, "Alice, don't think that studying is useless. Think about it, why was that fellow Andersen able to write so many fairy tales?

If you study hard, you can definitely write your own fairy tales in the future. Then you won't have to rely on him and can write whatever ending you want. Wouldn't that be great!"
