Now that there was a way to smuggle themselves to the Milis Continent, Shirou quickly returned to the inn to tell Ruijerd and Eris the good news.
They were very happy when they found out, and their previous low spirits disappeared completely.
Eris even became interested in seeing the sights of Winnport.
Naturally, Ruijerd and Shirou couldn't let her wander around on her own.
After all, although Eris now had Sword God Style upper level strength, her personality hadn't improved at all compared to the past.
Especially since Eris had learned the language of the Demon Continent, she could now understand everything other demons said, whether it was good or bad.
Because of this, Eris used to react less violently because she didn't understand the other demons' language.
But now, if she heard a demon say something bad, whether about her or Shirou, she would immediately go crazy and beat up the person who said it.
In the end, Eris earned the nickname "Mad Dog," and her reputation was even bigger than the biggest member of the Black Wolf Second team.
So, to prevent Eris from suddenly getting into conflicts with other demons, Shirou and Ruijerd had to have at least one of them by her side to prevent her from provoking someone she shouldn't, which could lead to a crisis that her Sword God Style upper level strength couldn't solve.
Shirou usually stayed with Eris, but this time he had something to do, so he asked Ruijerd to accompany her.
So, what did Shirou have to do?
Simply put, he planned to practice his blacksmithing.
Although he didn't have enough money to forge weapons right now, as long as he went to the Milis Continent, to the human territory, he might have the chance to get some property.
So, instead of waiting until he got to the Milis Continent to rush into forging weapons, it would be better to try to prepare for it now.
And the weapon he wanted to forge was undoubtedly the reward for Ruijerd, the Demon Breaking Spear.
The so-called Demon Breaking Spear is one of the two treasures held by Servant Diarmuid. The treasure is a pair of twin spears, the Red Rose of Demon Breaking and the Yellow Rose of Certain Death.
The two weapons have different effects and completely different appearances.
The Red Rose of Demon Breaking is a red spear about 2 meters long that can negate magical defenses. Its attacks are especially effective against magic-based armor. Magic enhancements and added abilities applied to equipment will also lose all effect when they come into contact with this spear, and it can even forcibly interrupt unfinished magic.
The Yellow Rose of Certain Death is 1.4 meters long and has a yellow short spear with the curse of "unhealable wounds." If you are injured by this dangerous short spear, it will cause irreversible damage, reducing the maximum amount of health, and even using "healing magic" or "regeneration abilities" cannot remove the "injured state" it causes. To remove the curse, you can only destroy the short spear or kill the person who holds it.
The two spears have different effects, and Shirou chose the Red Rose of Demon Breaking.
Because the Red Rose of Demon Breaking is more suitable for Ruijerd in terms of both appearance and ability.
The Red Rose of Demon Breaking is an amazing weapon that can only be defended against with physical means. No magic can withstand its terrifying piercing power.
Since there are many magicians in this world, Shirou felt that it was a very suitable weapon and could provide Ruijerd with a good support effect.
The only problem was that he lacked the conditions to forge the Red Rose of Demon Breaking now, so he could only consider finding a way to forge it after going to the Milis Continent.
Shirou thought about his ideas and spent the whole day at the blacksmith guild, constantly studying the methods and possibilities of forging the Demon Breaking Spear.
It wasn't until midnight that he left the blacksmith guild, feeling dizzy, and he had more confidence in forging the Demon Breaking Spear, having gained a lot of useful experience.
Since it was so late, Shirou planned to quickly return to the inn.
Just then, he suddenly heard some movement in the alley next to him.
A man's voice came.
"Hehehe, little girl, just come with me and I'll give you all you can eat."
For this kind of obviously abnormal tone, which was basically in line with the lines of a bad guy, Shirou, a partner of justice, naturally couldn't ignore it.
His body acted instinctively and found a girl sitting by the wall in the alley, with an ugly-looking man holding her hand.
Faced with this crime scene, Shirou didn't even have any extra thoughts and directly kicked the man in the back.
He didn't plan to use a sword.
This little thing wasn't worth using a sword for.
"It hurts, you bastard, you're asking for death...!"
The man who was kicked wanted to fight back, but he was greeted directly by Shirou's fist, who simply punched him in the face, knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Shirou wanted to take the man to the guardhouse, but he found that the girl on the ground was suddenly looking at him with an angry face.
"Ugh ugh ugh! You... what did you do...!"
"What's wrong, do you know each other?"
Shirou thought he had done something wrong and quickly asked.
The girl opened her mouth unhappily and said, "Although I don't know him, this guy was willing to give me... food..."
"This..."
"Wuwuwu, I'm so hungry... Three hundred years after my revival, I'm actually falling down in this kind of place... I definitely can't let Laplace know about this..."
The girl said something incomprehensible and fell down as if she was about to faint from hunger.
Shirou then saw the girl's appearance clearly.
She was a young girl wearing revealing black leather clothes.
Leather hot pants, knee-high boots, pale skin, and her collarbone, waist, navel, and thighs were all exposed.
The most noticeable things were her puffy purple curly hair and horns that looked like goat horns.
Shirou didn't know much about demons and couldn't tell what kind she was. Maybe Ruijerd would be able to figure out the girl's race if he was here.
Of course, that wasn't important.
The important thing right now was that the girl didn't know the bad guy.
This meant that he hadn't done anything wrong, but that the purple-haired girl had been tricked.
Thinking of this, Shirou hesitated and said, "If you're very hungry, come with me, I can give you something to eat."
"Really?!"
Hearing Shirou's words, the girl, who had seemed half dead, suddenly brightened up. She didn't hesitate at all and followed Shirou's footsteps.
The two quickly arrived at the inn, only to find that it was too late and the inn wasn't serving food anymore.
Demons also didn't have the habit of eating late-night snacks.
The purple-haired girl was undoubtedly very disappointed by this fact.
Shirou then comforted her, "Why don't I make something for you?"
"You can cook?"
The purple-haired girl was a little suspicious.
Shirou directly borrowed the kitchen from the innkeepers and quickly started a fire to cook a somewhat lavish late-night snack for the purple-haired girl, all with the leftover ingredients from the inn.
Although this kind of food wasn't considered luxurious among humans, for the Demon Continent, the meal that Shirou made could be said to be incredible.
The purple-haired girl had only taken one bite when she couldn't wait to start gobbling it down. In the end, she even licked the plate clean.
Seeing this, Shirou could only continue to give her more food.
He made food for a whole two hours before finally feeding this little girl, who didn't look very big.
"Ugh... ughh! Delicious! The food you make is so delicious! I will make you the head chef of my Demon Emperor's kitchen!!"
The purple-haired girl suddenly regained her energy and even performed a backflip on the spot, making it hard to imagine the strength contained in that small body.
Wait, what did she just say?
Demon Emperor?
You must be kidding.
While Shirou was surprised, the purple-haired girl patted her stomach and laughed, "Thank you, you really helped a lot! You really helped a lot! I can probably last another year now!"
After saying that, the purple-haired girl's eyes suddenly showed a strange light.
Shirou then realized that the girl's eyes were actually different colors, one purple and one green.
Just then, Shirou suddenly noticed the other's right eye circle as the eyeball instantly turned blue.
This scene startled Shirou.
But the girl in front of him was even more startled.
"Uwaaa! Uwaaa! What's wrong with you? What is this? What is this? Hahaha! This is the first time I've encountered this!"
Seeing Shirou, the girl suddenly said excitedly, "Two souls in one body? And one soul is clearly incredibly powerful, but the one in control is a weaker soul? You're really interesting, so interesting, hahaha!"
"What, what are you talking about?"
"The fact that someone like you can live healthily is an incredibly crazy thing. Not bad, you might have the potential to become a Demon King."
"..."
Completely unable to understand the girl's words, Shirou fell into obvious silence.
He didn't dare to underestimate the girl in front of him anymore.
She had actually seen through the fact that there were two souls in his body and had realized that he wasn't an ordinary person.
This gave him a sense of crisis similar to Hitogami.
"Who are you?"
"Before asking me, shouldn't you give me your name first?"
"...I'm Shirou Greyrat."
"No no, I'm asking for your real name. Since there are two souls, that means you're definitely not the original owner of this body, are you?"
Hearing the girl's words, Shirou hesitated, realizing that she might have made the wrong judgment.
She simply saw the fact that there were two souls in his body and so suspected that something like body snatching had happened to his body.
But in reality, Shirou's body had two souls from the beginning. He had traveled here from another world.
After confirming that the girl had unique abilities but couldn't actually see through his reality like Hitogami, Shirou breathed a sigh of relief and gave his name for the first time in this world:
"I'm Emiya Shirou."
