Early in the morning, when the sun has not yet risen.

On the walls of Olaria, the sound of weapons colliding with each other is constantly sounding.

With the sound of flesh rubbing against the ground, Bell, who was being trained by Ace, was instantly kicked out of the air.

"Whew, it's miserable, Bell!"

"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Emiya."

"But you're really miserable!"

Looking at Bell, who was bruised and purple, Emiya Shirou couldn't help laughing.

At this time, it was the second day of the battle, and Emiya Shirou and Ace kept their agreement and came here without any rest today.

Not only the two of them, but even Refia did not rest, and also followed.

However, in view of the fact that Refia was still tired and couldn't stand up yesterday, she canceled Refia's actual combat training today and let her concentrate on practicing swordsmanship.

This also caused Emiya Shirou to have nothing to do, so he watched Bell's fancy beating here.

"Alright, that's all for today, and then it's breakfast time you're looking forward to."

"Great, thanks to Mr. Emiya."

"That's right, thank you, brother!"

Seeing that the training was finally over, both Bell and Refia were so excited that they almost jumped.

After a tiring training, any food will become incredibly delicious.

Not to mention that this is the breakfast made by Emiya Shirou.

Looking at the two of them who were gobbling up, Emiya Shirou smiled and took out a pancake from it, and walked to the side to admire the gradually rising sun.

Just as Emiya Shirou was immersed in this beautiful scene, the sound of footsteps gradually came from a distance, and it became clearer and clearer.

"Is it Ace?"

"Hmm!"

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

“...... Compensate! ”

"Compensation? What compensation? ”

Shirou Emiya, who didn't know why, turned his head and looked at Ace suspiciously.

Seeing this, Ace said a little shyly: "On the tenth floor, I wanted to do the task alone at that time. ”

"Ah, that's the one?"

Emiya Shirou was instantly enlightened.

Yesterday, Emiya Shirou and Ace had planned to go to the dungeon to exercise, but there were many twists and turns.

first went to save Bell, and then went on a mission with the Man in Black.

When Emiya Shirou didn't arrive, Ace planned to leave him alone to do the mission.

At that time, after being caught by Emiya Shirou, he joked that when he came back, he would ask Ace to compensate him.

I didn't expect to be taken seriously by Ace, and I brought it up at this time.

"I was just joking, or should we forget it?"

Staring at Emiya Shirou's eyes, Ace said unmoved: "No, I want to compensate you!" ”

"Can't really be counted?"

"No way!"

Seeing that Ace was so stubborn, Emiya Shirou was also extremely helpless.

To compensate for this thing, he can't think of anything for a while?

Under the urging of Ace's eyes, Emiya Shirou began to look around his surroundings, looking for inspiration for compensation.

And when he looked at Bell, an unforgettable image suddenly appeared in his mind.

The next moment, it was as if the image was imprinted in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

After a moment of silence, Emiya Shirou hesitated to whisper his request in Ace's ear.

As the words fell, Ace's face instantly flushed.

"But, is that okay?"

"Hmm!"

Nodding slightly, Ace slowly knelt on the ground, and then patted her thigh with a red face.

Seeing this, Emiya Shirou also lay down with anxiety in his heart, and then pillowed on Ace's lap.

Knee pillow!

This soft feeling is the taste of happiness.

Inspired by Bell in the original book, Emiya Shirou thought of this compensation and got Ace's consent.

Pillowed on Ace's lap, feeling the temperature coming from her lower abdomen, Emiya Shirou narrowed his eyes comfortably, immersed in this beautiful moment.

On the other side, after Refia and Bell, who are senior siblings, competed for a delicious breakfast, the two calmly picked up the clear soup prepared by Emiya Shirou and enjoyed the aftertaste of the food.

Raising her head, Refia, who was about to drink soup, suddenly saw the two people who were in close contact with each other with her peripheral vision, and instantly knocked over the clear soup in her hand in surprise.

Moreover, her expression suddenly became extremely frightened.

Frightened by Refia, Bell almost knocked over the consommé as well.

"Really, did you see something horrible about?"

Driven by curiosity, Bell also turned around, and the next moment, the cup in his hand also fell to the ground in free fall.

Then with an extremely frightened expression, he looked at the picture behind him.

The two who were scared out of Yan Yi were full of questions at this time.

"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? ”

...

On the way back, both Bell and Refia had weak faces.

Seeing this, Ace on the side was full of doubts.

What's going on with these two people? Wasn't it okay just now?

Of course, Emiya Shirou knew the reason for this, but he didn't care, after all, he was the beneficiary.

After enjoying Ace's knee pillow, Emiya Shirou's heart was filled with fire at this time.

After returning to the family, Refia was the first to leave, and now she needed to talk to her good sister and ask what to do if her wings were knotted.

"What are your plans for my brother next? Or do you want to go back to the forging room and continue to study the forging technology? ”

"Me? I'm going to go to the dungeon and work out later. ”

"Dungeons? I'll go too! ”

Seeing that Emiya Shirou was planning to go to the dungeon, Ace's eyes were full of excitement.

It's time to explore the dungeon together.

"Okay, then let's go back and fix it, and we'll leave later."

"Hmm!"

After speaking, the two who reached a consensus walked to the dormitory.

...

For the next few days, Emiya Shirou and Ace would team up to explore the dungeon every day after teaching Bell and Refia.

Because of the proximity of the distance, and the rare two people who explore together.

This makes the relationship between Emiya Shirou and Ace more and more hot.

The knee pillow, which was originally only used as compensation, gradually became a necessary part of the rest for the two of them in the following days.

This made both of them feel stirred in their hearts.

Of course, this also makes Bell and Refia, who have to accept the behavior of the two of them sprinkling dog food every day after breakfast, live in dire straits every day.

As time passed, Firth, the sage who was the man in black, finally finished his mission.

After hearing Lulune's report, he was silent for a long time before handing the two keys to Lulune.

Then at the storage center that Fels said, Emiya Shirou and the others found the locker corresponding to the key.

After opening it, the three of them couldn't help but be shocked when they looked at the full amount of gems and various precious items inside.

In addition to a large number of precious gemstones, there are various gold and silver rings, decorated unicorn horns.

There are even a few magic books in it.

Looking at the sky-high assets, both Ace and Emiya Shirou were taken aback.

In the end, except for a magic book left by Emiya Shirou, the rest of the remuneration was donated by Ace to the family who had run out of money because of the preparation for the expedition.

After all, as a person who grew up in the family and had no other pursuits other than fighting, Ace really didn't have any thirst for money.

Now she just wants to go on an expedition.

As for Emiya Shirou, as a blacksmith, he really doesn't lack money.

With the help of this fund, the financial problems caused by the expedition were solved.

Then, that evening, Loki made an announcement in the cafeteria.

Eight days later, they, the Loki clan, would once again embark on their expedition.
