They've already fought their way through the Holy Grail War, and you still call them dragons?

But if you think about it carefully, the black and white short sword of Red A does not look like the original style cast in the Spring and Autumn Period. Maybe Red A has never seen the real Gan Jiang and Moye. He just collected information and relied on projection technology to add his imagination to complete the product.

The two swords in front of him are the real original treasures.

----

Emiya happily accepted the gift, but the consequence was that he received a new request from Miss Wa:

Take her shopping.

For most women, this wouldn't be a request at all; it could even be considered a date invitation. But this particular person, Wazhu, was special. Her half-human, half-snake appearance would be terrifying. This was truly a difficult problem.

As soon as it appears in public, people with poor mental quality might be frightened to death, and then shocking news such as "beautiful snake" or "female snake demon" will spread throughout Xiangyang.

Now that he was the Zhou family's chief of staff, he couldn't refuse this mission. This almost made him look miserable. He asked Zhou Yuxuan about it, but Zhou Yuxuan shook his head and said that the Wa Lord had never made such a request before. She almost never left the house, and when she did, she rode in a sedan chair. Her family provided all her food, clothing, and daily necessities.

Shirou Emiya suddenly had an idea.

Although this girl is now free from the suppression of the family elder and has become the master of her own destiny, as if she has made a brilliant turnaround in an instant and picked up the script of Wu Zhao, her past life is simply like a palace drama - perhaps even a version of "Startling by Each Step".

She once said that she wanted to go for a ride, change her clothes, and even fall in love... Perhaps these were all thoughts she really had but could not realize.

It is also an idea that is not out of reach for other normal girls.

Emiya, who was temporarily out of ideas, opened the chat room of an employer who had not been online for a long time.

The genius girl Charlotte was chatting happily with a new member, "Potato Chips." Emiya was just wondering why someone would name themselves "Potato Chips" when he saw Charlotte chatting and laughing with the newcomer. He could feel her joy through the screen:

"...That person hasn't been online for a long time. He must be feeling guilty. Haha, I know how someone could create alchemical weapons just by buying swords online. What about strengthening magic? It doesn't exist. It's all fake!"

Oh my God, Emiya's eyes widened slightly. After not seeing her for a while, this young lady's mentality has changed so much that she has started to escape from reality... Could it be that her grandfather has assigned her too much homework again?

Newcomer Potato Chips also raised a question at the right time: "But the world is so big, there are always people who are better than you, there will always be a chance that a few geniuses who defy common sense will appear, right?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Charlotte denied it vehemently. Would she say that after being hit by Emiya, she went to her grandfather to verify the situation, but her grandfather found out that she was secretly surfing the Internet during her study time, and then scolded her for "other people's children are xxx, how can you, your child, have the nerve not to work hard?"

The Governor of Gaul pointed out with great emotional intelligence, "Madam, the truth is another matter, but if you look at Charlotte's ID, you will know that what she needs is an identity."

She even calls herself a genius girl, so when a real genius appears in the group, you can imagine how unbalanced her mentality will be.

"That makes sense, you understand her psychology very well?" Potato Chips was surprised. Could this guy be a playboy who is very good at pleasing women?

"Thank you. I, the Governor of Gaul, never live to please anyone—except women."

Emiya Shirou quietly interrupted the topic, "A question for the newbie: do you know how to take a girl who can't go out shopping?"

The chat room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

It seems that everyone is trying to decipher the logical elements in this contradictory literature.

Seeing this, Emiya's hands left the keyboard immediately. It seemed that he had accidentally become the topic terminator again...

Chapter 18: Xiangyang Love Story

After a while, Potato Chips cautiously broke the silence, "Excuse me...is this a logic question or a practical application problem?"

Emiya: "...A real-life application problem. Uh, how should I put it? This young lady's situation is that her appearance is very unique, making it inconvenient for her to show up in public. But she asked me to take her shopping, and as her butler, it's difficult for me to refuse her idea."

"What? No, wait a minute, how could you just go off and become someone else's housekeeper without permission?" Charlotte, who had just been in a bad mood, suddenly jumped out again. "Last time I took the initiative to recruit you, but you didn't come. Now you show up and say you're a young lady's housekeeper. You're looking for trouble, aren't you? Wuwuwu, do you have any conscience?"

"Wow, what kind of live minotaur plot is this?"

The potato chip girl enthusiastically began to eat the melon. "Can someone help me explain the previous story? I'm new here and I don't quite understand it."

The Governor of Gaul replied in a very tangled tone, "Sorry, I am pure love."

Emiya is puzzled, why did you all start supporting the couple for no reason?

He wanted to end the topic quickly, "...Miss Charlotte, I didn't mean to offend you, and I really didn't have any intention of becoming a housekeeper at the time, but the young lady I'm with now was introduced to me by an old partner..."

As Emiya was explaining, the other party suddenly went offline.

Oh, no, where are you, Charlotte?

The Governor of Gaul made a timely comment: "A relatively reliable guess is that she secretly surfed the Internet during her study time and was discovered by her grandfather."

Alas, everyone sighed in unison, this unlucky child...

But on the bright side, without that person, the topic finally moved in a normal direction.

"I see, shopping isn't something that can be solved with conventional thinking, right?" Potato Chips tried to change her mindset. "You could bring the merchandise from the shops into the house, allowing this homebody to enjoy the fun of shopping without leaving the house!"

The girl with potato chips has unique ideas. In ancient times, the prophet Muhammad had a famous saying that awakened the world: "The mountains do not see me, but I go to see the mountains." Now there is also such a thought-provoking point of view: "I don't go shopping, but the streets come to me for shopping."

"...This is the kind of thinking that only a homebody would have." Emiya was speechless. Could it be that in this life, Lord Wa would ever think that she is not a homebody enough?

"!" Potato Chips immediately sent an exclamation mark, thinking, damn, it seems that he accidentally exposed his personal interests and hobbies.

"This is too much trouble. Why don't we make a shopping plan first, buy all the shops and buildings along the way, then clear them all out and replace the reception staff with our own people."

The Governor of Gaul spoke eloquently, seemingly feeling he had finally reached an area he was familiar with, and he readily offered suggestions: "First, decide on a few more scenic spots: temples, Taoist temples, churches, art galleries..."

Emiya interrupted the spell, "Wait a minute, the young lady's own home is the biggest tourist attraction in the area. I checked, and it's also a top-level national cultural and tourist attraction. She must be tired of these things..."

I've tasted too much already, take it away.

"No problem, then change the template to 'a rebellious young lady experiencing the indulgent society'," the Governor of Gaul was practically claiming that he could handle women of any personality.

"I suggest choosing a vibrant shopping street or amusement park. As for the final private rendezvous location, the atmosphere should be emphasized. For example, you could whisper to each other over a candlelight dinner in a high-end restaurant. For something more daring, consider a private hot spring bath with relaxing treatments. The establishment could provide the necessary equipment, allowing the date to indulge in an intimate spa experience amidst the fragrant aroma..."

As he watched, Emiya's mouth gradually opened wide, "Why did it become a date between me and the young lady?"

"Beet! You're a dating guru, that's what you are!" Chips gave a thumbs-up emoticon. "If this doesn't win over that nerdy lady, I'm going to eat this bag of chips right here, right now!"

This person even started to cheat for free food and drinks.

"I say, did you misunderstand something?"

"No, that's not right," the Governor of Gaul said. "Is it possible that you haven't realized something? She suddenly appointed you to handle this task. Do you really think she has no feelings towards you at all?"

"Huh?" Emiya was stunned.

Suddenly, a new chat box started flashing with messages. It turned out to be Potato Chips sending a private message:

"Hello, ignore that playboy Governor of Gaul's remarks. We have a professional team here. Interested in learning more? We offer dating services in all areas. We can book a sports car for the entire trip, clear out any unnecessary personnel, arrange a crowd control team, provide makeup and costume design, and even provide a wedding agency..."

Emiya: "Don't do the last one!"

----

So a few days later, Emiya took Wa to the venue in a dark Koenigsegg CCR sports car that had been arranged for him. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw a large fiery red banner propped up in the open-air venue. The red velvet-covered altar was covered with incense, causing smoke to linger. However, they could still make out a few large words on the background board in the center:

"The filming crew of "Legend of the White Snake" started the filming ceremony!"

Next to it was a promotional poster featuring a certain film and television star as the female lead, White Snake. A white snake was also painted on it as an illustration to indicate that this was the real White Snake.

At this time, when Emiya passed by with Wa on his back, he did not cause any commotion. Wa's snake tail did not wrap around him but dragged behind the two of them. It seemed that the fans mistakenly thought he was a Coser wearing props.

Wow, there's actually a solution like this. Emiya feels like those so-called professional potato chip teams are actually doing something.

But it's not over yet.

A few steps away, they stumbled upon a popular magazine and bookstore. The owner had lavishly displayed the current issues of "Xiaoshuo Hui" and "Zhiyin Manke" on the shelves by the door. The beautifully crafted posters depicted a handsome young man, seemingly straight out of a book, gazing lovingly at a girl in a white dress. The girl's lower body was a long, snake-like form, and they were also, quite similarly, referencing a popular TV show or film next door:

"A new spin on the Legend of the White Snake! The forbidden love between a chivalrous young man and a half-human, half-snake lady!"

Emiya's scalp tingled at the first sight, and he thought he was almost reporting their ID numbers. Unexpectedly, the Wa Lord on his back was so happy that he almost doubled over with laughter, patted his head and told him to buy a copy quickly.

Then they opened the book and saw that the story was about a young swordsman who was a genius and determined to exorcise demons. He accidentally fell into a demon's lair but was rescued by a half-human, half-snake lady by chance.

Out of gratitude, the young man accepted the position of subordinate to repay the favor, only to learn that the eldest daughter, half-demon, had been ostracized by the tribe and held under house arrest for years. This time, after risking her life to save the young man, she was severely tortured by the tribe elders. Determined to break the blockade and rescue the young woman, the two eloped and fell in love, only to be hunted by both the human and demon tribes.

The two stumble upon a new world and discover a statue in an ancient temple, half human, half snake. It turns out the half-demon, despised by everyone in their hometown and even the demon clan, is actually a local deity. The demon clan elders imprisoned the young lady because they covet the bloodline of the divine clan.

After the two were discovered, the young lady was immediately worshipped as a goddess by the local ancient god sect. Coincidentally, the army from her hometown attacked to recover her property. Thus, a huge war triggered by the encounter between the boy and the girl began...

Emiya turned to the end of the story and suddenly his mouth twitched. It ended with "To be continued".

Who the hell is this author? Why did he stop here?

Chapter 19 A grand date in the sunshine

When Emiya and Wa came out of the bookstore, the men and women coming and going all focused their eyes on them.

Some people seemed to think of the tragic heroine in the story, and when they saw that Wa couldn't walk and needed someone to carry her, they thought she was a disabled girl and gave her comforting and encouraging looks. Some people were instantly excited when they saw that the handsome man and beautiful woman combination of Shirou and Wa looked like the male and female protagonists in the novel, and they stepped forward hesitantly to ask for photos.

Others simply presented a large bouquet of flowers. Tucked between the flowers was a simple white card with a line from a famous German poem by Hermann Hesse written in beautiful cursive: "All wrong paths lead me to you." (All mein irren war ein weg zu dir.)

At this moment, the whole world rushed towards them, offering them wonderful kindness and warm blessings.

Seeing this scene that attracted so much attention, Emiya was almost shocked physically and mentally, and only came to his senses a second later, secretly sighing, "Wow, is this the strength of the crowd atmosphere team?" As for Wa, Emiya felt her on his back was silent for a long time.

"Lord Wa?"

She responded in a low voice, "Yeah, I'm fine. Hurry, go somewhere else." Her tone became softer than ever before.

They changed to another beauty salon. When the owner and the staff saw Wazhu being carried on Emiya's back, they really didn't show any strange expression. The owner even said happily that today happened to be the anniversary celebration of the store, and they would give a big gift package to the first couple who came to the store!

Emiya immediately sensed a sense of arrangement, and when he asked about what was included, the owner said, "We provide a full range of customizable plans, including skin care, hairdressing, manicure, body care, makeup and spa. We can arrange whatever you need immediately."

So, Emiya took the bill and saw a long, daunting list of service options, and hurriedly asked the owner for any recommendations.

The shop owner smiled slightly and started chatting with Emiya:

First of all, our hair salon recommends personalized hairstyle design, and we make hairstyles according to the customer's facial shape and temperament. Although your girlfriend looks young, she has a fair face, delicate temperament and good temperament, which is suitable for a longer hairstyle. We only need to slightly process it, slightly curl the ends of the hair, add some layered trimming, and form naturally inward-curling medium-length hair, which can create a romantic and gentle style.

As soon as the agreement was made on this side, the other side immediately started moving. Wazhu was sitting in a luxurious rotatable recliner and was surrounded by a group of people doing her hair. The little girl who usually made hundreds of people in the Zhou family tremble with fear with her shouting, but at this time, no one knew what she was thinking. She was so well-behaved that she didn't say a word, and quietly cooperated with everyone like a delicate and pretty girl.

Emiya looked at Nuwa eagerly, suspecting that Nuwa had been trapped in the previous story and had not yet recovered. He felt inexplicably that what the potato chip team did was too exaggerated. Could there be more heavyweight arrangements later?

An hour or two passed quietly. During this time, the shop owner served Emiya tea and water, gave him high-level VIP cards and large coupons, and said auspicious words to wish him a son soon and a happy marriage. Emiya waved his hands hurriedly, thinking that this was just the beginning and there was no sign of anything happening!

After the full set of beauty treatments was completed, Wazhu and the chair under her were pushed in front of Shirou. At this time, the little girl seemed to have grown older out of thin air, and instantly transformed into an elegant and gentle girl.

The naturally slightly curled hair hung down in beautiful arcs, which made the roundness of the face appear more pointed. It really seemed as if a beam of light shone down on him, and a half-demon snake lady walked out of the story and appeared before his eyes.

----

In a hall a few kilometers away, noisy voices echoed all around.

The young girl named Potato Chip Girl, whose real name is Su Enxi, was wearing wrinkled light pink pajamas and looked like a listless female college student, but she was the commander of a team of hundreds of people in this hall.

No one dared to look down on Su Enxi because of her dress. She only needed to work overtime all night for a few days to unite this temporary team with her efficient management and command, and successfully achieved results, which left a deep impression on everyone.

"Is the magazine featuring the feature fiction selling like hotcakes? For reprints, notify the publisher directly, don't use the dedicated line to report! Also, tell the artist to visit the author to confirm the direction of the new content! We need to take advantage of this buzz to release news about the next issue and start producing merchandise!"

"Is it over there?... Great, the target is in good spirits, beauty team, call it a day! Quick, quick, next team, the clothing team, get moving! The target has already left the store and gotten into the prepared sports car. The clothing store is open and ready to welcome customers. The clothing team, prepare all backup plans!"

Su Enxi wore light makeup on her face, and she controlled the whole scene with her natural female leadership aura, holding a small glass of champagne in her hand.

Under her strict command, experts from various fields, from beauty and fashion to psychology, worked closely and methodically to control the target psychological state and service satisfaction, paying attention to the effect and atmosphere of each service added. It was like a precision-operating gear set, using a scale comparable to a large-scale reality show, just to make a date for two people a success.

The long-legged beauty Jiude Mai stretched and yawned. "It's really tough. We've invested so much for our young hero and little snake girl. How much money must it cost? Don't you feel bad about the potato chips?"

Su Enxi, a colleague of Jiude Mai, is the number one accounting maid under the little devil Lu Mingze. Jiude Mai is a beautiful thug with a great figure, while she is just a clerical staff member responsible for making money.

Su Enxi is known as the "Black Gold Swan" in the financial field. Her energy is enough to set off a financial storm and mobilize tens of billions of dollars to force a country into bankruptcy. However, now she has to spend her money and energy on how to create a perfect date.

Alas, although this money is not much if you calculate it carefully, combined with the income from the hot serialization of the novel, the copyright and peripheral products, and the investment in the film and television drama "Legend of the White Snake", it can be recovered to some extent in the later stage, but Su Enxi has to eat dog food while trying hard to match the two beauties.

Hell, she'd rather be back in her familiar territory fighting those financial giants.

"Go away! Don't bother me if you're not working. Besides, this is the person our boss has told us to entertain. What can I do?"

Jiude Mai lowered her head and whispered, "Isn't the man of destiny that the boss asked us to entertain that young man Emiya? Why involve the Zhou family's head, Wazhu, who is not easy to mess with?"

Su Enxi curled her lips. "You didn't listen to the psychology expert team's analysis, and now you remember to ask me?"

"They've analyzed it. Although the young man appears to be a friendly and kind person, he's actually very stubborn. You can't really win him over with money and women. He cares more about his companions, so we'll help him. He'll be more likely to open up to us sincerely in order to repay a favor."

"As for Wazhu, she's the exact opposite of the young hero. The young hero is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, while Wazhu is strong on the outside but gentle on the inside. She's assertive in most situations, and only reveals her inner feelings to those she's truly close to. This makes her particularly easy to deal with. After some analysis, we believe Wazhu truly has feelings for the young hero, and she's actually looking forward to this trip."

"So we let loose. This time, the theme was 'normal girl-style perfect love,' something Wa hadn't experienced before. We made it into a grand, wonderful date, so beautiful that she'd think she was in a dream."
