Chapter 20: Heart-to-Heart Talk

"I see?"

"It's an unexpected idea to boost your self-confidence by actually fighting monsters head-on."

Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was sitting in front of him, Riveria's eyes were full of satisfaction.

Although Refia's situation is indeed a bit worse, the solution is practical, and for adventurers, as long as she does not die, it is a victory.

"Sure enough, it's the right thing to do to ask you to train Refia, Shirou."

"This is also Riveria's senior, do you want to believe me."

For Riveria's gratitude, Emiya Shirou is very modest, after all, he has something to ask her for in the future.

Although as a companion of the same family, as long as she asks for it, Riveria will definitely teach herself.

But the efficiency of teaching is certainly not the same between a willing and an unwilling.

"Bang dang."

With the sound of the door opening and closing, Refia reappeared in front of everyone after washing.

"Refia!"

Looking at Refia, who had just come out of the bath, her little face was flushed and her body was full of moisture.

As an LSP, Loki immediately pounced.

"Yikes!"

Suddenly attacked by Loki, the panicked Refia suddenly screamed.

But unfortunately, in the face of Loki, who was infinitely powerful due to the explosion of LSP's power, the weak girl Refia was thrown down on the sofa without any ability to resist.

Brutally toyed with by Loki.

Looking at this scene, Riveria couldn't help but sigh softly, she couldn't do anything about the unique hobby of her own main god.

After all, she herself was the target of the other party's attack.

Listening to Refia's cry in her ears, Riveria had lost the patience to continue.

"I absolutely support your idea. Refia's affair will get rid of you! If you need anything, just tell me, I owe you a favor for this. ā€

With that, Riveria stood up, intending to leave the room.

It's just that when she was about to leave the room, she suddenly said coldly to the Amazon sisters who looked like they had survived: "What are you two still sitting there doing, don't you come over quickly." ā€

"You don't think that's the end of this, do you?"

Sure enough, Emiya Shirou knew that Diona and Dionone would definitely not be able to run.

Bullying elves in front of the elven royal family, or is it a junior that Riveria values, and wants to laugh like this? How can it be.

Hearing this, Tiona and Tiogne's faces immediately became mournful.

For this result, they also had some guesses on the way back, but everyone had the psychology of luck.

But in the end, he didn't escape.

The two of them, who seemed to have lost their strength, walked out of the door in a chaotic manner, and it seemed that Riveria's Weia was really heavy.

is worthy of being the 'mother' in the family.

"Lord Loki, don't do this!"

Hearing Refia's moan, Emiya Shirou glanced at it and planned to leave the place.

At this time, there were still four people left in the room: Emiya Shirou, Ace, Refia, and Loki.

In the face of Loki's bullying, although Refia shouted badly, she actually didn't show anything, which was really nothing to look at.

"Refia, I'll have a day off tomorrow, and I'll need to build your gear for your situation today. However, although I am still a rookie forger, you have to pay for the materials. ā€

"I—I know, Mr. Shirou."

Bullied by Loki, Refia stammered in response.

In this regard, Emiya Shirou nodded and got up to leave here.

Seeing this, Ace, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, immediately followed.

In the corridor of the Dusk Pavilion, glancing at Ace, who had been following him, Emiya Shirou smiled and said, "It's my room in front, I remember that the girls' dormitory doesn't seem to be in this direction." ā€

"I have something to say to you."

Hearing Ace's voice that lacked change, Emiya Shirou smiled with a really like that, "Okay, since you've arrived in my room, let's come in and sit down and talk slowly." ā€

After opening his door, Ace, who had no defense between men and women, walked in directly, and then Emiya Shirou closed the door.

It's just that he didn't know that from the moment Ace walked into the boys' dormitory, they had been secretly watched by many people.

Now seeing Ace follow him into the room, the whole family suddenly boiled.

...

"I don't usually have anyone here, so I don't have any extra stools, so you just sit on the bed. The sheets, quilts, and stuff are all new. ā€

While arranging for Ace to sit down, Emiya Shirou took out his own snacks and drinks.

The snacks are all dry goods that he makes himself, and the juices are also made by himself.

As a contestant with perfect housekeeping ability, Emiya Shirou did a certain amount of research on the food ingredients here not long after he came to Olaria.

Compared to the world of the previous life, the materials here are more abundant, and it is worthy of a world with gods.

Therefore, Emiya Shirou, who never lives up to his mouth, of course has to study the food carefully.

And these snacks and drinks are the results of his research.

"Please try it, it's my masterpiece.

Place the treats on a plate and hand them to Ace for her to taste.

Gently pinch one and put it in your mouth, chew it carefully, and a wonderful taste arises spontaneously.

"Delicious!"

"It's delicious!"

"Very tasty!"

Moved by the delicious food, Ace's eyes narrowed happily and kept praising the deliciousness of the food.

Then Ace picked up the drink glass and tasted it gently, and another irresistible taste appeared in her mouth, which made her extremely nostalgic.

"It's amazing, whether it's food or drink, it's so delicious."

Listening to Ace's appreciation, Emiya Shirou's eyes were also full of smiles.

For chefs, sharing food is the greatest joy, and hearing the praise of others for his cooking skills fills Emiya's heart with satisfaction.

If it weren't for the fear that his main god would frequently cook for himself after becoming addicted to eating, and delay his exploration of the dungeon, Emiya Shirou would have wanted to show off his skills a long time ago.

But now that he can hear Ace's praise, Emiya Shirou's chef's heart is finally satisfied.

"If you like it."

"But I'm more interested in what you're looking for me for."

Hearing Emiya Shirou's question, Ace's original chewing action stopped instantly.

After a while, she quickly swallowed the snack in her mouth, and took the drink handed by Emiya Shirou and drank it, choking herself.

When she put the cup down, she asked expectantly, "How can I become stronger?" ā€

"Get stronger!"

Ace would ask such a question, Emiya Shirou had already guessed, after all, when they were training Refia, Ace had been looking at her with strange eyes.

Faced with Ace's question, Emiya Shirou also became serious.

"The essence of God's gifts is to be a catalyst to bring out the potential of the human body. Therefore, whether your base stats increase or not is not intrinsically related to whether or not you fight monsters. ā€

"During this time, I also had a lot of speculations about God's favor. For example, Ace, it took you a year to go from LV.1 to LV.2. ā€

"But now you've been in LV.5 for three years and you haven't become LV.6, why do you think that?"

"Why?"

Confused, Ace stared at Emiya Shirou, trying to hear the correct answer from his mouth.

"I think it's the difference in the amount of external pressure."

"In the past, you were very weak, you had no magic, no skills, you were not even proficient in martial arts, and you had no combat experience. Even if you are not careful in the face of LV.1 monsters, you will be extremely dangerous. ā€

"But now you are very strong, even the deepest monsters that our clan has explored, except for the floor master, you can easily deal with them, which makes you not subject to external pressure at all."

"Why is it faster to fight monsters than to practice by yourself, because there is a great terror between life and death, and in the face of life and death crisis, people's potential will be stimulated to the greatest extent, so their abilities will rise rapidly."

"So you can't get strong quickly not because you're weak, it's because you're too strong."
