"As the old saying goes: the most dangerous place is the safest, is it better to escape back to the women's clothing department?"

Saying goodbye to Aozaki Orange and Kuenji Yuzu, Emiya Shirou carefully moved along the hangers, cabinets and other obstacles, thinking about the escape route in his mind.

To be honest, although he unexpectedly got rid of Elquit and Aoozaki Aoko at the beginning, but if it is a protracted battle, Aoko Aosaki can say that the child's body is not Erquit's opponent in terms of durability.

Therefore, instead of moving, being discovered, and then chasing, it is better to choose a place that the other party does not expect to hide first.

On the one hand, you can take a break while the other party continues to search, and you may be able to close the gap between the two sides. On the other hand, even if you really can't hide for long before you are discovered, you can escape immediately without harming yourself. Based on the above factors, Emiya Shirou made the decision to flee back to the women's clothing department, in order not to alarm others, it is not a problem to be light and not make a sound, and even the detection technique is limited to a few meters, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble when the magic power shocks the air.

It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, and from the point of view of returning to the women's clothing department and not alarming anyone on the way, Emiya Shirou succeeded without any danger.

However, just after he tiptoed back to the women's clothing department, just as Emiya Shirou wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a sound of footsteps sounded slowly, and then he suddenly realized that in addition to himself, someone had already come to the women's clothing department. Although the restriction detection technique reduces the risk of being detected by others, it also prevents him from accurately grasping the situation around him.

Is it a trap?

The unimaginable development suddenly disrupted the escape plan, barely suppressed the irritability, and moved forward with his back against the hangers in row after row, Emiya Shirou quietly probed out, and what caught his eye was a blonde woman staring at her skirt.

“”

Although it was not the feeling of fighting, the blonde saintess still stared at the white dress in front of her with a strange serious look.

There is no special fancy decoration on the skirt, and the color is just pure snow white, if you want to describe it, it is probably the kind that Rider's sister usually likes to wear, the difference is that this skirt is less black, but more lace.

"What's wrong? If you like it, Sister Joan of Arc, why don't you buy this?"

After observing for a while without making a sound, seeing that the other party was not moving, finally curiosity overcame fear, and Emiya Shirou walked out from behind the hanger.

"Shiro, Shirou ?!!" The sudden voice brought Jane back to reality, and she turned her head in a panic, her face already tinged with a hint of redness, and it seemed that as she had just seen, Joan of Arc was obviously so engrossed in looking at the dress that she didn't even notice the arrival of Emiya Shirou.

"Ahh

"No, Shirou doesn't particularly bother me, but doesn't it matter if Shirou is there? The expressions on the faces of Elquit and Aoko when they chased them out just now were quite serious, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them if you stay here and talk to me?"

Although the middle air in the first half of the sentence is slightly insufficient for unknown reasons, but as he spoke, the flustered expression had changed back to his usual composure, and he had changed back to his ordinary and gentle eldest sister, and Joan of Arc looked at Emiya Shirou with a soft and concerned expression.

"Well, as long as Sister Joan of Arc doesn't join the pursuers, I'll still have a chance of winning with Sister Elquit and Sister Aoko, so you don't have to worry about me."

Comparing the combat power of the two sides a little in his mind, Emiya Shirou smiled helplessly.

It is true that his physical ability is inferior to that of the other party, but it is not impossible to win. Always as a heroic spirit, he has crossed countless battlefields, including many chase battles, so he is also experienced in this area, and he can win back at least one city. In addition, today is a public holiday, and there are more than one group of customers in this mall, considering this, Elquit can't make actions such as breaking through the walls and ignoring the height jump of the floor, due to many restrictions, the gap between herself and her has narrowed one step closer. So I still have a chance to get rid of bad luck today.

However, this ideal result was based on the premise that Joan of Arc would not go to war. You must know that now, Joan of Arc's strength may even be slightly better than Erquit, just dealing with the latter is exhausted, if the former also joins the ranks of the pursuers, Emiya Shirou will not have to escape, he can be captured directly.

"Don't worry, Shirou! Alquette was interested, but I was neutral. With an awe-inspiring smile on his delicate cheeks, Joan of Arc patted his chest and issued the declaration of neutrality that Emiya Shirou wanted to hear the most, and at this moment, Joan of Arc, who was smiling in front of Emiya Shirou's eyes, was as dazzling as a goddess.

"That's really great," with a long sigh, Emiya Shirou also put away that bitter gourd-faced smile, "Then again, Sister Joan of Arc, do you like that dress?" If you're worried about the price, don't worry? My wallet isn't that fragile yet!"

glanced at the price card on the skirt, took out the wallet from the bag of the trench coat, and Emiya Shirou, who was in charge of the financial expenses of the Emiya family, directly took out the corresponding amount. After all, I was going out shopping today, and my budget was quite sufficient, and even if I really exceeded my budget, I could temporarily project gold, gems and other things to sell, so I didn't need to worry at all.

"No, it's not actually the problem"

To Emiya Shirou's surprise, Joan of Arc did not take the money in his hand, but lowered his head, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't hear any sound, and after all, he just stopped talking.

"Actually, I wonder if I'm not suitable for wearing this kind of light clothes."

The blush was about to reach the root of the ear, and he spit and spit and spit and spit and finally put together a complete sentence.

Joan of Arc lowered her head deeply.

Is she fit to wear a skirt?

In the eyes of Emiya Shirou, no, even in the eyes of others, it is also a matter of fantasy.

With dazzling blonde hair, fair skin, and breathless face, there is no doubt that Joan of Arc is a first-class beauty, even the so-called models on TV cannot compare with it, and only a very few girls such as Elquette can compare with it. If it was the self who lacked concentration in the previous life, or even if he got closer, his heart would beat faster and he would be incoherent.

Obviously there is no need to mind, but I am unusually persistent. Emiya Shirou was no stranger to this, because, in his previous life, at least two of the people he valued as extremely important had similar experiences.

"I think it's a good fit, huh? At least it's better than the one you usually wear at home, Sister Joan of Arc~"

When she was a hero, her combat uniform could not be worn at home, in other words, Joan of Arc also had her own private clothes. However, just like Caster and Rider during the Non-Holy Grail War, Joan of Arc usually dresses casually at home with a casual casual dress and a pair of trousers, which is simply and plainly more beautiful than Elquit's dress.

It's not that he has any congenital deficiencies, but because of his experience, he has lost confidence, and he can't face himself with a normal attitude. Just like Rider, under the love of his sisters, he will ignore his mature glamour and lament that he is not cute enough; Saber also had a declaration that he was more suitable for armor than skirts.

It's just that, compared to Rider, Joan of Arc's condition is more appropriate to Saber. After all, the two of them have spent most of their lives on Rongma.

"But,I always feel that I don't have a girlish taste, I can't afford to be this beautiful dress, sure enough,Armor is more suitable for me," There is no hint of joke, and the tone is only frustrated, only lack of confidence.

"Really? However, I think it's the opposite. ”

"Huh?"

"From my point of view, it's not that Sister Joan of Arc is not worthy of this skirt, but that this skirt may not be worthy of Sister Joan of Arc~ Anyway, Sister Joan of Arc is a beauty!" Looking at the wavering friend with a sincere eye, it is enough not to change her overnight, as long as it can make the other party feel that he is not lying, so that the other party's mood is closer to the good side.

"But I've been fighting with a sword! I still don't regret saving my country as a knight, but as a girl, it's beyond the norm."

"On the other hand, Sister Joan of Arc is quite gentle when she puts down her sword." Without waiting for Joan of Arc to finish, Emiya Shirou waved his hand and forcibly interrupted the other party's speech, "There is nothing wrong with raising the blade to protect what you value, and that determination and perseverance are enough to make future generations look forward to and admire." Like a friend of mine, Sister Joan of Arc, you're one of the people I've been chasing~"

"Shirou, thank you!"

Unknown feelings welled up in my heart, and my cheeks were still slightly flushed, but those were no longer important.

The blonde saint expressed her gratitude in an affirmative tone.

In an instant, that heartfelt smile made even Emiya Shirou trance.

Sure enough, compared to tears, girls are still more suitable for smiling

"Found !!!"

Just when the warm atmosphere filled the space, a loud shout startled the two of them. Distinguishing from the voice, Emiya Shirou's face immediately turned greener than moss.

Oops!! I only cared about Joan of Arc's affairs, but I forgot about my crisis completely!!

A violent wail sounded in his heart, drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead, and Emiya Shirou looked at Ji Jun in front of him tremblingly.

"It's really easy for me to find it, since I'm back here, that means that Xiao Shirou is also ready to come to his senses~" Holding the little two rituals in his hands, Erquit stood in front of Emiya Shirou with a smile.

"I probably won't do that kind of enlightenment in my life" Thinking about the distance from Elquit, the silver-haired Heroic Spirit was ready to run away, just

"In that case, Shirou-kun will need to try to get used to it now~"

The shoulders were pressed by a pair of snow-white hands with a force that could not be seen from the outside, and although the sorrow of the bones could not be heard, they could not even move, and the dream of escape was immediately shattered.

"Learn, learn, learn??!!!!!!!!"

"What's the matter, Shirou-kun? Hell, by the way, if you shout too loudly, you'll hurt your throat?"

"Wow, when did they join forces?"

"Well~Because simple shopping is boring~"

"Then it's okay to help me change my clothes! Senior sister, let me go!!"

is worthy of being the elite in the church, and the few who can confront the heroic spirits head-on, their wrist strength is really not covered. In the face of Emiya Shirou's desperate struggle, Shier suppressed him without any pressure. So, don't look down on women.

"I said, you" I couldn't bear to see Emiya Shirou struggling desperately with his face puffed out, and the gentle eldest sister stepped forward and came to the rescue. At this moment, Emiya Shirou sensed that the goddess of hope was waving at him.

"Isn't the knight girl interested? Dress up Xiao Shirou beautifully, maybe when Xiao Shirou grows up, he won't have a chance?"

"Huh?"

Stopped the posture of rushing forward, and his mind appeared with a red face, tears in his eyes, exuding an aura that made people bully him, and he was dressed in a cute dress, and the saint's cheeks were red like ripe apples, and he was ready to pick.

"Slow, Slow!!!!!"

Under the clear sky, a mournful voice resounded over the Misaki department store.

Afterwards, it was no longer because he wanted to cover up, and Emiya Shirou really stayed in the room all day and refused to come out.
