Chapter 44: After the Return

Following the steps of the Minotaur, the members of the Loki clan kept running upward.

But because of the fork in the road, the crowd soon dispersed.

Ace, Bert, and Emiya Shirou kept running upward, cutting off all the Minotaurs they encountered along the way.

By the time they chased the last Minotaur to the fifth level, the three of them had all separated and searched for each other.

Suddenly, a miserable cry came from a distance.

Seeing this, Emiya Shirou immediately ran up, but it was too late, and what he saw was a white-haired boy who was soaked in blood and kept running out with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha!"

"That kid was actually scared away by Ace!"

In the corner of the wall, Bert, who was trembling with his stomach in his arms, laughed desperately, and was a little out of breath for a while.

On the other hand, Ace had crimson cheeks and glared at Bert like a normal girl.

Looking at this scene, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing this, Ace pouted and said angrily: "Brother, bad eyes! ”

Emiya Shirou, who rarely saw Ace with such a rich expression, was curious for a moment, so he reached out and pinched her face.

Feeling unhappy, Ace hurriedly reached out and slapped Emiya Shirou's hand away.

But Emiya Shirou quickly pinched it again.

In this way, the two pinched one by one, patted the other, and had a lot of fun.

And Bert, who was laughing on the side, had already stopped his smile, looking at the two people who were fighting, he only felt a sour feeling from his heart.

Tut!

Bert, who couldn't help but smack his tongue, left here with an unhappy face.

Standing here, he always felt like a dog.

...

"It's finally back!"

Walking out of the dungeon, in the sight of many adventurers, the expedition of the Loki clan returned to the place where the clan was located.

"We're back, open the door!"

"Yes!"

Hearing Finn's order, the guards who stayed on the ground slowly opened the gate of the clan base.

Looking at the open door, everyone was about to walk in, when a figure suddenly burst out of the clan and rushed towards Ace.

"Welcome back!"

Looking at the mid-air, he stretched out his hands in the shape of claws, and his mouth kept 'hey, hey, hey, hey!' 'Loki, Ace and Diona Tyone skillfully dodged her attacks.

Only the innocent Refia is hit by Loki.

"Yikes! Don't! ”

In the mournful cry of Refia, everyone passed the two of them with ease and walked towards the family.

Looking at Refia, who was hugged and played with by Loki, Emiya Shirou wanted to save her, but in the end he didn't do it.

After all, he unwittingly turned Loki's harem into his own.

Although I didn't mean to, I didn't have such thoughts.

But if Loki knew about it, he would definitely not be able to escape her harassment.

Therefore, it is better for him not to appear in front of Loki for the time being.

Thinking of this, Emiya Shirou secretly hid in the team and returned to the family.

As for Refia, she can only ask the gods for protection.

What? It's the gods who bully her, and that's fine! Ask for more blessings!

...

After taking a comfortable bath in the bathroom, he returned to his room and lay down in the soft bed, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sigh: "It's still comfortable in my own room!" ”

In this way, Emiya Shirou squinted his eyes and relieved the fatigue on his body.

After more than two weeks of non-stop fighting, Emiya Shirou had already accumulated a deep exhaustion on his body.

Lying in his bed, he quickly fell asleep.

It wasn't until Raul's screams outside the door rang out that he woke up.

"Shirou, it's time for dinner!"

"Wait a minute, I'll be here!"

After a brief tidying up, Emiya Shirou walked out of his room and walked towards the cafeteria with Raul.

Due to Loki's policy of 'eating together', everyone except for the patrol team members eats together.

Therefore, at this time, the cafeteria will be crowded.

Sitting with Raul, he didn't squeeze into Ace, who had already come, and Shirou Emiya and Raul were eating and chatting like this.

"Do you have any arrangements for Shirou tomorrow?"

"My words should be maintenance equipment and other work, after all, I am also a high-level blacksmith, and Finn can't not arrange a job for me."

"Indeed! Especially since this expedition has lost so much equipment, if you build it, you should be able to save a lot of it! ”

"Of course, they are all partners of the same family, and I definitely won't kill everyone, what about you?"

"My words should be to change the material to Farley."

"Hehe, then you have to pay more attention, I heard that you once lost your money."

"That's just a mistake, there won't be a second time!"

Hearing Raul's assurance, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but laugh.

Every time you come back from an expedition, you have to deal with a lot of troubles.

Exchange the magic stones brought back from the dungeon for money, repair and purchase weapons and armor, and replenish items.

The things to be done after returning from the expedition were piled up, and almost all of them were dispatched for a large number of reasons.

As a result, the first day back from an expedition will be a busy one.

Of course, the Loki family's customary celebration feast will also be on that day.

As the two talked, Emiya Shirou gathered more members of the family around him, most of whom were the elites of the second army like Angel and Alythea.

Everyone was discussing various matters together.

And heard a lot of amazing revelations, such as Raul, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually spent all his savings because of a prostitute.

Hearing this, everyone around them burst into laughter.

Only the persecuted Raul has been explaining it heavily.

His appearance caused the persecution of him to continue to attack, and it was not until Loki spoke that the persecution meeting stopped.

"I almost forgot, if there are children who want to update their ability values today, let's come to our room!"

"Anyway, it's tiring to work together tomorrow, so let's do it, book ten people tonight, first come, first served!"

Hearing Loki's words before leaving, everyone couldn't help but talk.

"Are you planning to update your stats?"

"I don't want to go!"

"Me too, I just want to sleep now!"

Listening to the conversations around him, Raul asked Emiya Shirou, who was drinking water, "Shirou, what about you?" ”

"Feel free to say what I want, after all, I can update it myself!"

Saying the words that made Loki's blood soar lightly, sure enough, Loki, who had not yet left the cafeteria, instantly roared.

"Shirou, you must come tonight!"

Glaring viciously at Emiya Shirou, Loki left the cafeteria in a huff.

In the face of Loki's request, Emiya Shirou sighed helplessly: "What a trouble! ”
