Because she believed that it was with Emiya's help that she was able to escape the search of her family members, and even successfully escaped from Tokyo where her brother was. With a simple mind, she naturally thought that this was a "great victory" worth remembering!
Before this, Eri had tried to run away from home many times. The farthest she had ever gone was just to the intersection in front of the family mansion, where she stared at the sea of people and traffic coming and going, and burst into tears.
That was the first time she truly saw the outside world after leaving the family's intensive care unit, which was like a prison.
At that time, it was the first time that Eiry knew that there were so many people living in the outside world. They came and went in a hurry, did not know each other, and their lives had nothing to do with Eiry.
It’s like there are billions of people in this world. They clearly walk on the same planet, but they can only come into contact with a very small number of their own kind in their lifetime. The strangers outside of them represent a completely unfamiliar world.
Just like the anime only lists a few seasons of stories performed between several people and several groups of people, but in the real outside world, Eri will face more unknown stories after running away from home.
So, she naively and superficially deduced reality based on the settings in the anime:
She imagined that in this world, the A-laws and Celestial Being Organization described in the Gundam series were still fighting, Britannia's enslavement of Area 11 mentioned in Code Geass had not ended, there was a war between the five major ninja villages, and there was also the so-called "One Piece" - the final island of Raftel existed somewhere in the ocean.
"No, none of these."
When Eri raised her notebook and asked Emiya these questions for the Nth time, he answered helplessly:
"What you're talking about are all fictional settings. If you ask Eri about the legends of the mythological era, I can at least tell you clearly that those things at least existed."
Chapter 150 King: The underworld is a bad civilization!
The questions and answers between Emiya and Eri could be said to be intermittent during these two days, but overall they were asked a lot of times, and some of the questions the girl asked were reasonable, but some seemed a little abnormal.
Sometimes, when Eri followed him for a walk to the bay dock, she would ask where these large containers were shipped from, but at some point she would suddenly ask whether there was freedom or enemies on the other side of the sea.
At first, Emiya thought it was just Eiry's occasional childishness, but when the two of them walked to the park at the foot of the mountain, Eiry started asking again why they didn't see any conflicts or battles between the Britannia and Liberation Front armies along the way. Was the slavery suffered by Area 11 over?
At this time, Emiya finally realized a serious problem from the girl's serious attitude. Eiriya's worldview was not simply a blank caused by long-term imprisonment, but a distorted worldview created by imagining the settings of various cartoons.
Judging from the family that Genjiro belongs to, in order to control Eri, the vessel of God, they will arrange a small amount of entertainment, such as games and animation, while maintaining surveillance and restricting her personal freedom, to keep Eri's mental state stable.
However, in the absence of basic education, Eri was unable to learn basic common sense about the outside world. According to Eri, her brother Gen Chisei only occasionally accompanied her to play games, and that was all. He never explained any information about the outside world to her. Therefore, the gaps in Eri's knowledge in this area were filled by the worldview of the cartoons she watched.
This is truly an unexpected yet reasonable result.
"So, you've always believed in these things?"
Emiya asked and Eri blinked and nodded.
"You ran away from home a few times before because you wanted to verify whether these things existed, right?"
Eri nodded in agreement, like a chick pecking at rice, and then wrote two sentences in her notebook for Emiya to see, "I long for the outside world, but I'm also afraid and hesitant. That's why I always fail when my family comes."
"I see……"
Emiya could imagine how chaotic, uneasy, and turbulent the world in Eri's worldview was with all kinds of settings mixed together, and how much courage and adventurous behavior it would take to run away from home in such a situation.
And Emiya, the one who could take her away from the city she had always lived in, was a powerful senior who was adept at navigating a dangerous world. Following his experience, she would surely be able to easily and joyfully experience the vast and magnificent world.
...But, after all, these are just strange fantasies that exist only in the little girl's mind.
Emiya was certainly a strong man, but he wasn't a warrior of A-Laws or the People's Revolutionary League, and he hadn't seen the Black Knights led by Zero. If they truly wanted to quickly establish a Gundam organization like that, they would have to go back countless years and recreate the technology of the Age of Gods...
Time passed during the question-and-answer process, and the sun gradually moved westward, sinking into the sea below, forming a pair with the shimmering and bright reflection on the waves, moving towards each other.
In the evening of the next day, Emiya stood near the dock. The bay, which had been busy all day, gradually became quiet, and the shore became sparsely populated, becoming a distant scene that gradually faded away in his sight.
He slowly explained to Eri the true nature of this world, from the customs and practices of the world's east, west, south, and north, to the entire "underworld," magical organizations like the Clock Tower, the feud between the Dead Apostles and the Holy Church, the mixed-blood families with inhuman bloodlines, and the principle that all of them shared to conceal their mysteries from the surface world...
"So this is what the world outside is like." After listening to this, Eri wrote this sentence in her notebook.
"Yeah," Emiya thought Eri would be disappointed, so he gently stroked Eri's head. The latter's younger mental age prompted him to do so subconsciously...
"This world isn't full of exciting and grand stories. Reality is often cruel. Everyone hurts their own kind for various reasons, and even ordinary people can only find happiness through ignorance. If it were a distant era, a time when gods ruled, humans would be forced to bow down and live in the clutches of their gods."
"What about now? Where are the gods now?"
"They handed the position of primates to humans, then departed and dissipated, returning to the throne of God. If Eri wants to see it, she can only go to the other side of the world."
"The gods are willing to return the world to humans. The gods are very kind."
"Yes, God is a lover." Emiya said something vague that was similar to Christian doctrine. In fact, what he didn't say was that God's "love" is very heavy, so humans must get rid of God's bondage as soon as possible.
Eri didn't seem disappointed at all. She was still full of longing for the world. Often, the vast and suspicious unknown was the source of her greatest fear that held her back. But now, after hearing about the hidden side of this world, she began to feel that the journey in the real world was also a great and exciting adventure...
However, Emiya now has no time to accompany the girl on her adventure to satisfy her naive ideas, because at this moment, the cell phone rang, and it was Minamoto no Chisei who called hurriedly.
The young master cut to the chase and stated directly what time tomorrow he would go to Aoi-ya's headquarters to conduct a comprehensive investigation. If Emiya wanted to come, Gen Chisei could arrange a temporary position for him now, and Emiya could just come directly when the time came.
"Okay, I promise. I'll be there when the time comes."
After chatting for a few words, Emiya put down his phone.
Eri, who was standing next to her, clutched her notebook tightly and looked at Emiya. She heard the voice of her brother Gen Chisei on the microphone. The girl originally thought that her brother had found them, and her heart was instantly filled with nervousness.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to take you back. Your brother and I have something to do tomorrow, so it has nothing to do with you."
Eri's eyes flickered, and then she nodded solemnly, holding up her notebook. "I will stay in the house tomorrow and won't run around."
----
Shinjuku, Tokyo's commercial and entertainment hub, is also home to a high concentration of yakuza activity. Kabukicho, Tokyo's most famous red-light district, is home to hundreds of yakuza offices and thousands of active gang members, making it a haven for illegal criminal activity.
As a channel for communication and exchange between various gangs, it is no surprise that Aoi-ya's headquarters is set up here.
"Emiya, isn't this your first time in Kabukicho? You don't seem surprised at all."
Minamoto no Chisei was sitting on his Hummer, and Emiya was specially invited to sit next to the head of the Minamoto family. At this time, Minamoto no Chisei asked a question with a little curiosity.
"Yuan-san, when I first came here, I was almost scared by those hospitable streetwalkers. I'm much better now, but I just don't show it on my face. But you were very calm from beginning to end. Do you come here often?"
Emiya's words almost made Sakura Yabuki, who was driving in the front seat, slam on the brakes.
"No, it's my first time here too! I just didn't show my surprise on my face!"
Gen Chisei immediately retorted as if to say, "Me too!" Although he was very interested in the various beauties on the nude beach, visiting Kabukicho was something that only crows and yakshas would often do.
The convoy of the group soon drove to the door of Aoi-ya, a house unexpectedly full of Japanese wabi-sabi style. When they arrived as an investigation team, the people of Aoi-ya obviously seemed to have received advance notice, and they respectfully lined up outside to wait.
After getting off the car and seeing this grand scene, Gen Chisheng even thought that this was a blatant threat from the Sheqi Eight Families by the many gangs behind Aoiya, because the Sheqi Eight Families chose to attack Aoiya, a special organization involved with countless gangs, for no reason, which would create a very tense atmosphere in the underworld world.
"The person in charge of your headquarters should be Aoiya Daiho. Where is he? Come out and see me."
As Yuan Zhisheng finished speaking, a burly man with a broad back and covered in tattoos stepped forward and bowed his head, "Sir, I am the person in charge."
"Is that correct? The information shows that Aoiya Daihou is a plump, middle-aged woman. Do you think... you are Aoiya Daihou?"
The burly man was so nervous that cold sweat seemed to be dripping down his cheeks. He was facing the shouting of the Sheqi Eight Clan. The Sheqi Eight Clan was the shadow emperor who ruled the underworld. He was like the shadow of a tree and had to be afraid of them. However, he also relied on Aoiya for survival, so he had to stand up even if he was afraid.
"Ms. Dafeng was ill and handed over the position of person in charge a few days ago."
"A few days ago?" Yuan Zhisheng was very surprised. He hadn't started selecting people to investigate Aoiya a few days ago. Was it such a coincidence?
"Take us into your database, especially where you store your customer transaction records," Yuan Zhisheng said coldly. "Don't worry, the family just has a major project that requires more data. If you cooperate, the family can raise your credit rating."
What Yuan Zhisheng said was not entirely an excuse. In order to catch up with the Kassel Equipment Department, the Ganliu Research Institute under the name of the Snake Eight Families is working hard to develop a cloud computing system called "Kaguya-sama" in an attempt to match the Secret Party's "Norma". For this reason, many huge paper materials now need to be recorded in the form of electronic files.
So the group entered a huge database that was treated with fireproof materials. From the large amount of paper documents, it could be seen that Aoi-ya had a low level of digitization and was filled with a certain old-school stubbornness.
Gen Chisheng didn't care. He asked his men to use the text scanner to input the information one by one. He sat like a young master, drinking tea and waiting. He casually instructed Yabuki Sakura, "Report any situation immediately."
"Yes, we just found out that Aoiya Taiho had multiple secret meetings with 'Boar Neo', a representative of the South American mafia. However, the details of the transactions were erased from the records. Boar Neo seems to be a suspect as well."
"Okay, let's focus on checking him."
Emiya also pretended to investigate everywhere, but he just wanted to see if there were any other abnormalities here, such as an ambush...
At a certain moment, a tiny breaking sound reached my ears.
"Hmm?" Emiya opened his mind with all his might, and then he heard increasingly frequent cracking sounds. A crack spread almost silently from the corner of the ceiling and expanded to a large area of the wall.
"careful!"
The reminder sound spreads all around.
At the same time, he silently chanted the spell, stretched out his hand in front of him, and the orange flame flowed in the palm of his hand, and the treasure gradually "grew" out.
boom!
The huge house shattered in an instant, the ceiling and walls crumbling and crumbling like fragile gravel as if they had suffered a crushing impact. Emiya swung a hurricane to sweep away the deadly flying fragments.
But Emiya caught a glimpse of a curved, shining, multi-colored whip wielding the edge of a sword, which flashed away.
Oh shit, wait a minute, that whip-like sword, could it be! ?
"Fight, destroy, kill."
A brown-skinned girl wearing a wedding dress appears on the stage. Her ruthless face conveys a cold and solemn temperament. Attila, the Hun king, stands with his sword raised.
Chapter 151 Yuan Zhisheng: Am I really of royal blood?
"careful!"
When Minamoto no Chisei heard Emiya's warning, he immediately noticed the terrifying cracks that were quietly expanding on the ceiling. With the sharp reaction brought by his imperial bloodline, Minamoto no Chisei quickly drew out the ancient famous swords at his waist, Spider Cutting and Boy's Cutting Yasutsuna, and shouted at the same time:
"All units, beware of collapse!"
Most of the people from the Eight Snake Clans were well-trained. After hearing the young master's voice, they responded calmly and subconsciously. Some defensive words stepped forward and acted as meat shields for their teammates. Those who did not have the conditions or luck to be protected could only find a suitable location as a temporary shelter for emergency avoidance.
Fortunately, Aoi's database was a single-story building, not a multi-story high-rise. The ceiling shattered in an instant, turning into a shower of rubble. Although the sound was terrifying when it fell, the people present were all mixed-bloods with extraordinary physical fitness. Unless they were unexpectedly unlucky, they would not lose their combat effectiveness on the spot.
Gen Chisei drew out his sharp blade and calmly fought back with the blade in the face of the falling rubble. As the current "Emperor" of the Eight Snake Families, he had received the purest ancient swordsmanship in his family, and was proficient in the Hozoin-ryu, Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, Heart-Shaped Sword-ryu and other schools.
He now held the hilt steadily, rotating the sharp edge of the spider cutter in a natural posture, picking up the incoming fragments at will, and then these fragments were knocked away, deflecting the remaining falling fragments, forming a pair of kinetic energy cancellation. In this way, the density of the seemingly dense barrage like a sudden wave can be greatly reduced.
This is the technique of the Natural Rishin Flow: Chonglan.
The meaning of this move is that when facing an enemy attack, you should go with the flow like surfing, and use the enemy's strength to counterattack. This embodies the natural rational flow that focuses on natural and smooth movements and precise grasp of timing, achieving the greatest effect with the least effort.
After wielding his sword to block a piece of rubble for himself and Sakura Yabuki beside him, Gen Chisheng didn't forget to ask, "Are you okay?"
"……fine!"
Sakura Yabuki's heart was filled with pink ripples when she saw the young master's instant protection and sudden concern, but she did not remain calm on the surface. She knew that this was a routine habit of Gen Chisheng. This person always subconsciously considered his subordinates, but never regarded her as a young girl in her prime.
"Well, go check the casualties around you, gather the family members, and keep a close eye on those people from Aoi House. Be careful that they might trip you up!"
Gen Chisei, considering that Aoiya's actions seemed to be prepared in advance, suspected that this was an extremely bold act of murder to silence and destroy evidence.
boom!
Less than half a minute after Gen Chisei finished giving orders to Yabuki Sakura, the ground was shattered by the colorful and wantonly stretched "sword" - in front of that terrifying sword, it seemed that no reinforced material was strong enough, and the ground was like a low-quality cloth that was torn into pieces by an invisible giant hand and turned into flying pieces of cloth.
Damn!
A huge rock that was cut and blown away like a piece of cloth suddenly attacked, quickly casting a huge shadow that was enough to cover the surroundings. Yuan Zhisheng's face sank when he saw this scene. He didn't even have the spare time to save people this time. His skeletal system all over his body made crackling sounds.
As a natural born super hybrid "Emperor", Yuan Zhisheng was born with thousands of bones, which can be glued together into an airtight piece when necessary. This is the special "dragon bone state". At this time, the strength of his bones and even muscles will drive a rapid increase in strength, and it is no problem for him to break thick bronze with one punch.
Yuan Zhisheng tried his best to display the ancient martial arts he had learned throughout his life, and finally slashed out with the Heart-Shaped Sword Style Four Phases and Eight Phases, a superb skill that can be called "the unity of heart and sword", and cut the huge flying boulder into several pieces in an instant with a crackling sound.
When he looked up again, he finally realized that the attacker was just a brown-skinned girl. She held a sci-fi, multi-colored sword in front of her with both hands. It seemed that the terrifying destructive power of her slashing and chopping came all from this strangely shaped alchemical sword.
But in reality, that wasn't the case. With Minamoto Chisei's "Menkyō Kaiden"-level kendo vision, each of this girl's strikes was delivered with the precise angles and power of a legendary martial arts master, timed and executed with pinpoint accuracy. If he charged at the young woman, even if Minamoto Chisei could withstand the first blow, he wouldn't be sure he could withstand the second.
In other words, without that strange sword, he felt he was still powerless to fight against the girl. That girl was simply a martial arts legend. Even with just a branch in her hand, she could knock him down!
But there was only one person in the whole arena who was able to stop the girl - Emiya, and he was able to fight with her repeatedly!
Gennochi's pupils trembled. Emiya did not enter any special skeletal state like him. He just fought the enemy with a sword in a very ordinary state. Occasionally, a terrifying orange-red high-temperature flame would roll in front of him, but that looked more like a word spirit rather than a bloodline ability.
But the long sword in his hand flashed with an extremely strong alchemical field, and the wind and thunder exploded when it was swung. The huge rock that Gen Chisei split with great force, but the sword in Emiya's hand could easily cut and smash the rock and then push it away like a broom sweeping away dust.
The brown-skinned girl retracted the extended blade of the weapon in her hand, transforming it from the soft posture of a long whip into the hard straight blade state. The girl seemed to realize that the one who was resisting her was a strong enemy. A huge force burst out from her slender limbs and was transferred to the multi-colored long sword, allowing her to block Emiya's sudden attack without moving.
What followed was a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and the afterimages of swords formed by the high-speed battle were dazzling to watch.
The fierce clash of swords caused sparks to fly, and the sharp sound of swords resounded throughout the battlefield, vibrating the eardrums of the onlooker Yuan Zhisheng.
For a moment, everyone watching the fierce battle was shocked, but suddenly he realized that something was wrong and frowned. His father evaluated that he had the same imperial-level bloodline as Emiya.
Even if Emiya is better than himself in frontal combat ability, he cannot just stand by and watch. Even if he serves as an auxiliary, he is enough to play a role in turning the situation around at a critical moment in the battle.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhisheng took a deep breath and stepped into the fierce battlefield without hesitation.
The earth was torn into an abyss-like wound, and the colorful sword blades clashed with the sharp edges of the wind and thunder. The air was cut rapidly and made a wail, and the broken stones flew densely like snowflakes.
A hellish scene lies ahead.
With Spider Cutting in one hand and Boy Cutting Yasutsuna in the other, Minamoto no Chisei took firm steps and tried to approach the two people in the center of the battlefield.
The blade in his hand was his most trusted partner in battles over the years. It danced and slashed in his hand with joy. Various exquisite sword techniques such as the Tenshin-ryu·Destiny Stick and the Kagami-shin-awareness-ryu·Basara Dance were perfectly unleashed, allowing him to push away the aftermath of the battle between the two people in the center of the battlefield and continue to advance.
