XLV. - Merian Solomon

"Isn't there any here?"

Maintaining the permanent technique of avoiding perception, Emiya Shirou retreated from the empty room with a helpless expression.

This is the twentieth room he has infiltrated and searched since he and Joan of Arc separated, but still has not found anything.

Although Emiya Shirou, as a former heroic spirit, one of the apex of modern magicians, he is confident that he can avoid the perception of most people, whether it is the setting of the spell or the concealment action at the physical level, but, after all, there are many dreams at night, especially since Emiya Shirou has basically been possessed by a crippled curse since he was reborn, and he has only been on the verge of death three times in just over a year, with such luck, he is really not sure that he will not meet those few exceptions that he may not usually encounter in his life.

In view of this, Emiya Shirou had no choice but to speed up the search and give up the search that was too detailed, such as checking whether there was a hidden passage.

Always, if you think about it carefully, the other party is on vacation, especially the other party is one of the few people who are more like human beings among the twenty-seven ancestors, and the vacation should theoretically be based on enjoyment. Emiya Shirou didn't believe that even when he was on vacation, Solomon would hide in a secret passage, a place that wanted scenery without scenery, air circulation without air circulation, and natural ecology without natural ecology.

Otherwise, is it imprisonment or vacation?

"Would you like to search the garden next?"

After searching another room, he looked back and found that he had searched the entire corridor, Emiya Shirou covered his face helplessly, sighed symbolically, and walked to the corner of the corridor.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Then, the moment he turned around, two exclamations rang out one after the other.

Emiya Shirou stared at the old priest in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes were full of disbelief, although he had more or less lowered his guard in order to speed up the search, but the permanent technique was not paper-mΓ’chΓ©.

The principle is like a small radar centered on Emiya Shirou, as long as someone walks into the perception range, Emiya Shirou can immediately detect that there are no dead angles in all directions of 360 degrees, and with this technique, he has avoided at least dozens of monastery personnel just now. However, this old priest, who seemed to be amiable and not half dangerous, was able to retract his perception.

"Little sister, why are you here? Is it that you are lost?" Contrary to Emiya Shirou, who was on guard, the old priest completely treated Emiya Shirou as a lost child, smiled happily and wanted to take Emiya Shirou's little hand, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, the old man will take you out"

"That's it." Just before the old priest was about to meet Emiya Shirou, a slightly childish voice came from the garden garden, "Come back, that person is from this world." As for the other one, since getting together is fate, if you are interested, why don't you come here and talk about it?"

"Yo, I didn't expect you to really come over, I'm very happy~" As Emiya Shirou walked into the flower garden, a black-haired young man sat up straight and waved to him, "But, then again, I didn't expect to be able to invade here without being discovered by anyone, which is really outstanding at your age~ Little Miss Magician." ”

Standing closer, the black-haired boy's left sleeve was empty, but he didn't care at all, still smiling all over his face, the only five fingers of his remaining right hand were full of rings, and behind him stood an umbrella, and the boy was sitting on a chaise longue, obviously, the boy was resting on the chaise longue just now.

This dress, this old age, there is no doubt that the young man is the target of Emiya Shirou's trip, Merian Solomon.

"I'm a man, and if you can, please remove the word "little." Looking at the surprised expression of the other party after hearing that he was a man, Emiya Shirou always felt the corners of his mouth twitch, "Moreover, what did you say that no one would find out, and now I won't be discovered by you and this priest?"

"Well, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't even notice your existence before he found you?" Meren-Solomon beckoned to the old priest, and in the next moment, the old priest strangely disappeared in front of Emiya Shirou's eyes, and a left hand with a ring also appeared on the empty sleeve of the boy himself, "What's more, you won't notice him purely because you haven't come into contact with him as a highly hidden fantasy creature, right?" Since you've seen it once, it shouldn't be difficult for you to figure out how to do it. ”

"Hmph, you really think highly of me." Emiya Shirou waved his hand noncommittally.

"If he hadn't broken your tracks and made you show your flaws in that moment, I wouldn't have found your confidence." Meren-Solomon praised Emiya Shirou without a hint of false emotion: "So, young magician, what did you come to this church where birds don't lay eggs? As far as I know, there are no treasures or anything rare. Or do you want to say you're here for a vacation?"

"How is that possible? I'm not in the habit of going to such a remote place for a vacation. Well, if the goal is to be reached, it has been achieved now. ”

"Oh? So you're coming for me?" In the next moment, putting away his playful expression, Mei Lian Solomon glanced at Emiya Shirou with a sharp gaze, "My whereabouts are not known to everyone, except for that annoying ghost beast murderer, only my lovely junior." So, how did you find out?"

In an instant, the momentum of the other party has changed dramatically, if a moment ago Melen-Solomon seemed to be just an ordinary old child, then now he has changed back to the true twenty-seven ancestors. There is a murderous aura that no one can approach all over his body, and Emiya Shirou dares to vouch that even if he says a wrong word, the other party may immediately shoot and kill him.

"As you said, I found out where you are from Senior Sister Shier, I have no intention of making an enemy of you, so let's calm down first, okay?" Facing the naked murderous aura of the other party, Emiya Shirou helplessly raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.

Although Emiya Shirou himself was not afraid to go to war with Meren-Solomon, nor did he think that he would be defeated, the purpose of his trip was to inquire about information from the other side, and it would not benefit him at all to start a war.

If the fight really starts, on the one hand, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, and when the time comes, not only will this operation be ruined, but even Aozaki Orange and Joan of Arc may be in danger. On the other hand, if he had defeated and captured Meren-Solomon, Emiya Shirou would not have thought that the other party would obediently say the information he wanted after being beaten by him, and as a result, in addition to not being able to get the information, he would have offended a twenty-seven ancestor in vain, which would have outweighed the loss.

What's more, in addition to the consideration of interests, in terms of human feelings, Emiya Shirou does not want to go to war with Mei Lian and Solomon. After all, the other party is a loyal supporter of Erquit, not only has Erquit received many times of help from the other party, but if there is any case, the other party is the only ally who will definitely help Erquit, just looking at this is enough to make Emiya Shirou think twice.

Moreover, although the reason is unknown, Meren-Solomon was also a defender of Hier. Among other things, the seriousness with which he was involved in the subject of Hiel shows that Meren-Solomon attached great importance to Hierre from the bottom of his heart. In Emiya Shirou's understanding, when Shirou was sent by Narumbalek, the chief of the burial agency, to carry out a mission with no chance of victory, and to eliminate the seventh seat of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, Annasiu, Meren-Solomon was also the only one who stood on the side of Hier, and even the demon on his right foot was killed by Hierin in order to help him.

Two of his most important friends were friendly with Melen-Solomon (although Hiyer was unilaterally hostile to Solomon), and Emiya Shirou could not afford to start a war between Melen-Solomon.

Combining the above two points, Emiya Shirou happily raised his hands and surrendered.

Seeing that Emiya Shirou was not joking, but really let down his guard, Mei Lian Solomon had to put away his murderous aura in disbelief after glaring at the other party for a while
