Thus, under Shirou Emiya's lead, the group headed toward Emiya City, the capital of the Monster Federation.
Among those traveling were not only Ellen's four-person party, but also Youm and his companions, whom they had encountered unexpectedly along the way. It was obvious they had been swept up by the situation. Earlier, when Shirou Emiya had casually asked Fritz whether they were also heading to Emiya City, Fritz hadn't denied it outright. Shirou Emiya hadn't pressed further.
Now, with Shirou Emiya and the others openly leading the way, Youm and his group didn't dare refuse.
As a seasoned rcenary, Youm was very good at reading the room.
"By the way," Ellen said as she walked among the group, glancing at the disciplined orc soldiers around them, "why did Shirou-senpai suddenly appear here?"
She tilted her head slightly.
"And with so many people... are you going to subjugate so powerful monster?"
"Sothing like that," Shirou Emiya replied with a smile. "Our goal is to completely conquer this forest. The Jura Forest is currently being unified."
"...Conquer the entire forest!?"
Ellen exclaid without thinking.
After all, this was the Jura Great Forest.
In the past, it had been a true forbidden zone. Even now, with the Storm Dragon Veldora dead and gone, years of dense magicule saturation ant that countless powerful monsters still lurked here.
Conquering it?
That wasn't even sothing Ellen would dare imagine.
Her outburst imdiately drew attention.
Cabal, Fritz, and even Youm and the others nearby unconsciously moved closer. Clearly, they were just as shocked and just as eager to hear what gave Shirou Emiya such confidence.
Noticing the gathered crowd, Shirou Emiya spoke calmly.
"In fact, the unification of the Jura Great Forest has already begun."
"Currently, we've already taken control of nearly half of the forest. As for the remaining half, it's already within reach."
"It's just waiting for to finish the job."
"Half... already?"
Ellen trusted Shirou Emiya. Precisely because of that, the news left her even more stunned.
The last ti they had been here, the city was barely beginning to take shape. And now, half of the Jura Great Forest was already under their control.
It was unbelievable.
"That's right," Shirou Emiya continued. "After subjugating the Orc Lord, we ford an alliance with all the monsters who participated in that campaign."
"At that point, the territory under our control already exceeded thirty percent."
"Afterward, through continued efforts, that number has grown to half."
"At this pace, it won't take long before the entire forest is unified."
He spoke confidently as he walked at the front of the group.
No one spoke.
The information was simply too heavy to process all at once.
Shirou Emiya glanced back at the silent group and said nothing further, allowing them ti to digest it.
The quiet didn't last.
"Everyone," Gobta called out from the front, riding atop a Ranga wolf, "we're almost there!"
At his words, everyone looked ahead.
Past the thinning trees, a vast and bustling city erged from the forest.
"A city... inside the forest?"
Ellen and the others gasped.
The sight completely overturned their expectations. This journey had delivered far too many shocks already, and this one might have been the biggest.
As voices of amazent rose behind him, Shirou Emiya spotted Souei waiting at the city gate and walked over.
"Thank you for your hard work in this battle, Lord Emiya."
"It was nothing," Shirou Emiya replied casually. "Just a few minor matters."
With his current strength, clearing out monsters at or below A-rank was no more difficult than an after-dinner dessert. In truth, most of the A-rank battles had been handled by Gobta. Shirou Emiya had simply observed.
"By the way," Shirou Emiya added, "the people from the Free Guild ca back with . Send them straight to Rimuru."
"Understood," Souei replied. "And you, Lord Emiya?"
"I'll head over shortly."
Shirou Emiya stepped past him.
"I still have sothing else to take care of first."
-
Walking through the lively streets, guided by a familiar presence, Shirou Emiya quickly found his destination.
Before he could speak, soone rushed toward him.
"Father!"
Little Rimuru, who had been with Milim, ran over the mont she spotted him.
"Long ti no see, Little Rimuru."
Shirou Emiya lifted her up with ease, smiling brightly.
Although only a few days had passed since they last t, he truly missed her. To him, Little Rimuru was no different from his own daughter.
The first thing he did upon returning was co to see her.
"Yo, Shirou Nii-san! You're back!"
"Ah, Milim. I'm back."
Milim jumped straight into his arms, and Shirou Emiya greeted her with a smile.
"Is your work finished?" she asked.
"Not yet," he replied. "But part of it is done."
He reached out and gently patted Milim's head.
"I ca back this ti to et guests from the human world. I need to be present for that."
"After the eting, I'll be heading back to the forest to finish unifying it completely."
"I'm coming too!"
Little Rimuru raised her voice imdiately.
"Alright, alright," Shirou Emiya said with a laugh. "I'll take you with when we conquer the forest."
"If the human guests have arrived," Shuna said thoughtfully, "then we'll be attending a eting soon, right? As Lord Rimuru's close attendants, we'll definitely need to be there."
As soon as she finished speaking, Souei's voice echoed around them.
"Prepare yourselves. In thirty minutes, at the Town Hall, we will accompany Lord Rimuru to et the representatives from the Free Guild."
With that, Souei's clone vanished. He was likely heading off to notify the others.
"Thirty minutes, huh..."
Shirou Emiya stretched lightly.
"Then I should get ready first. After being away for so many days, I definitely need to clean up."
He waved casually to everyone.
And then, he disappeared from sight.
