A man and a woman were walking on a small road in Soto City.
"Hey, San Ge, I remember you and Shirou came from the same place, but why don't I see you two together?"
Xiao Wu asked, lying on Tang San's back.
"Ah, well, we all have our own things to do. Shirou needs to help others, and I have to make money by forging iron to support you, my little rabbit!"
Tang San replied quickly.
"Oh!"
Xiao Wu nodded, understanding. After all, she was no innocent little white rabbit.
Just as Tang San carried Xiao Wu into Soto City, not far away, another group was also walking—a man, a woman, and a strong man.
The red-haired Shirou Emiya had been trained by Kiritsugu Emiya over the past few years. Though his clothes were plain, his bronze, angular skin showed his strong body.
Behind Shirou Emiya walked a pure, snow-white elf named Illya.
"Hey brother, your back is so hard, it hurts me!"
Illya patted Shirou with her little pink fist, speaking coquettishly.
"Ahaha, no choice. Dad makes me train all the time, and I need to get stronger to protect you!"
Shirou smiled.
"Well... I have Basaka to protect me, so I don't need you, stinky Ni-chan!"
Illya's cheeks puffed like a little pufferfish.
"Right, Basaka, you'll protect me, right?"
Illya said to the black, sturdy man standing beside her, who was nearly two meters tall.
Basaka's muscular body was terrifying—someone unfamiliar might think he came straight from the Baki anime. But what confused people most was that Basaka's face was always hidden by a mask, so no one knew his true appearance.
"Well—!"
Basaka answered Illya's question with a nod.
Illya proudly raised her head as if showing off: look, someone protects me!
Shirou smiled and continued carrying Illya on his back, while Basaka followed behind.
Soon, Shirou carried Illya to a hotel to find a place to stay for the night.
"Hello, two guest rooms, please,"
Shirou said.
"Okay,"
the receptionist replied after looking at the group.
After choosing a suitable room, the receptionist handed the key to Shirou.
Just as Shirou was about to take Illya upstairs to rest, a noisy commotion caught their attention.
Normally, Shirou wouldn't care, but Illya, bored after a whole day, insisted.
"Hey, hey, Shirou, let's go see what's going on, okay?"
Illya shook Shirou's back.
Shirou had no choice but to carry Illya to the scene.
By the time they arrived, the noise had died down, leaving only a fierce fight.
Shirou looked carefully.
"Oh? It's her!"
He recognized someone.
The pink-clad Xiao Wu was there, cheering for her third brother.
Tang San and Dai Mubai were fighting.
By Tang San's true strength, he should not fear Dai Mubai at all, but now, strangely, he didn't use any hidden weapons or special skills.
As a result, Tang San was at a disadvantage.
However, Dai Mubai saw that Tang San was very strong and thought: Tang San must have come to this small place like Soto City to enroll in Shrek Academy. He would be his junior, so he didn't want to make it too hard for him.
After all, isn't there plenty of wilderness to use as a battlefield instead of a couple's hotel?
Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed red. His strong muscles slowly tensed, and the red glow in his eyes faded quietly.
Everything about him was controlled by the power of the White Tiger Martial Spirit.
Finally, Dai Mubai looked deeply at Tang San and Xiao Wu and said:
"I think we'll meet again soon. If anyone troubles you at Shrek Academy, just mention my name—Dai Mubai, the evil-eyed white tiger!"
Then, Dai Mubai returned to the twins he was carrying in his arms. The twins clung to him.
"Let's go, beauties, we have other great places to visit, ahahaha!"
Dai Mubai laughed wildly.
But as Dai Mubai turned, he froze.
Standing before him was a cold girl with long black hair.
Though Dai Mubai felt she looked familiar, he couldn't remember who she was.
For some reason, the girl shrank slightly before him.
Without realizing why, Dai Mubai withdrew his hands from the twins' necks.
But that didn't mean the twins would stop.
"Hey, Master Dai, what are you staring at? Aren't we going to have fun?"
The twins climbed onto Dai Mubai's neck and even touched his strong muscles.
Dai Mubai swallowed nervously for some unknown reason.
"Wow, Miss, this is the fiancé you found? He feels different."
Next to Zhu Zhuqing, the blue-haired Cu Chulainn put his palm on his forehead, looking at Dai Mubai.
"This is more colorful than me. Although I say I'm very pure,"
Cu Chulainn continued to complain.
Though Dai Mubai didn't know who Cu Chulainn was, he said this with no serious expression.
Sometimes, people caught cheating act confident to avoid trouble.
"Hey kid, what are you talking about? You're not qualified to call me Master Dai. Apologize!"
Dai Mubai glared fiercely at Cu Chulainn.
But Cu Chulainn ignored him, folding his arms and standing beside Zhu Zhuqing without paying attention to Dai Mubai.
This angered Dai Mubai even more.
