(3rd POV)

Shirou and his crew were still driving out of Reisen Gorge with their futuristic motorcycle. After many trial and errors, Shirou and Hajime managed to replicate and upgrade the motorcycles with many enchantments so that it can be driven in almost every terrain at fast speeds.

After some hours of journey, Shirou saw silhouettes on the horizon, so he used [Clairvoyance] to see more clearly and surprisingly, he saw people with rabbit ears running away from flying monsters, which resembled Wyverns.

'Is that the Haulia tribe? They are like Shea so probably. And it looks like they are in trouble.' Shirou thought.

"I saw the Haulia tribe." Shirou said.

"Wait, really?" Shea said with a surprised tone. "I still don't see them."

"I have a skill that allows me to see things from very afar, also they seemed to be in trouble."

"Trouble?" She shouted in a worried tone.

"They are being attacked by monsters."

"Then we should hurry! At this rate, everyone will die!" Shea shouted in panic since she knew that her tribe couldn't defend themselves.

"I know that, you don't have to shout!" Hajime shouted back as he accelerated, followed by Shirou.

After getting closer, Shea saw the monster and recognized it immediately.

"Hy-Hyveria…" She stuttered the monster's name.

There were several of them and all of them were flying above the trees in circles and were sometimes diving to hunt the rabbit people.

Hajime took his Donner out of his storage ring while Shirou took his hand off from the handle.

"Trace on" A gun-shaped sword that resembles Kanshou appeared in Shirou's hand. It was crafted based on a version of EMIYA, which was called EMIYA (Alter). It was a pair of modified versions of Kanshou and Bakuya that could function like swords, bayoneted handguns and even a dual bladed staff by connecting the bottom of the handles.

The performance could be improved by using [Reinforcement] and [Lightning Field] like Hajime's Donner and Schlag.

Furthermore, the ammo used in the modified Kanshou and Bakuya was special. They were bullet-shaped swords and could ignore the air resistance and when hit the target, it would absorb its mana and sprout swords from it, not to mention it could follow the target as long as it was in Shirou's field of vision.

Shirou pointed at the Hyveria flying in the sky, without taking his attention off the road.

*BAM *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

The hyveria started to fall one by one and soon they noticed that their companions were dying slowly but surely so they quickly searched around until they found the quartet.

*RAWR*

The Hyverias roared in rage and skydived towards Shirou's group. Shirou and Hajime dodged the incoming monsters as they continued firing at the Hyverias.

"Damn, there are too many of them! We need to gather them in one place!" Shirou shouted as he dodged a corpse that was falling towards them.

The Hyveria, although they were weaker than both Shirou, Hajime and Yue, attacked individually and not in groups, which made it harder to kill.

"So we only have to gather them in one place?" Hajime smirked evilly as Shea suddenly had cold sweat on her back.

Then Hajime grabbed Shea and threw her to the sky.

"EEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!????" Shea shouted as tears flew out of her eyes.

Shirou sweatdropped at this but then the near hyverias flew to Shea and tried to eat her, but were immediately killed by Shirou and Hajime.

'This is surprisingly effective' Shirou thought before Hajime caught Shea again just to throw her again.

They did this for a while until they eliminated the entire group of hyverias. Then they drove to where the Haulia tribe were hiding.

"Heyyy! Everyone!" Shea shouted as she was pressing her assets on the back of Hajime's head.

"Shea!" Everyone started gathering around them.

Shea jumped off of the motorcycle and went first to the Haulia tribe. They talked for a while before Shea came back with a middle-aged man with rabbit ears.

"You are Shirou-dono and Hajime-dono right?" The man asked which received a nod from both of them. "I am Shea's father and also the chieftain of the Haulia tribe, Kam Haulia." Kam introduced himself humbly.

"And as both father and chieftain, I express gratitude for helping my daughter and my tribe." He said as he bowed.

"You don't have to thank me." Shirou said as he waved his hand. "We are only helping because of the deal we made with Shea."

"Even then, we are very grateful for receiving help from someone as strong as you."

"Good, then we should get out of Reisen Gorge first. Monsters will only gather here if we stay here any longer."

The Haulia tribe followed Shirou's group by foot as they climbed the stairs to go to the top of the rifts.

There, they saw a small group of soldiers camping around an unlighted campfire and a carriage behind them. When the soldiers saw the group, a disgusting smile appeared on their faces that could be compared to ugly bastards when they found their prey.

'Soldiers of Empire...According to Shea they pursued the demi-humans and enslaved them to sell for the Empire.' Shirou looked at Hajime and they both nodded to each other.

"You guys stay here, I will go with Hajime and deal with them."

"Are you sure? They are also humans like you." Shea asked worriedly and hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter, we promised to protect you and your tribe until you guide us through the forest. And besides, scums like them must be eliminated, it doesn't matter what race." Shirou said before walking towards the soldiers.

While Shirou didn't want to walk in the same path as EMIYA did as a hero of justice that wanted to save everyone, he couldn't stand people like them, who only care for their own pleasure disregarding others happiness like slaves, etc, even if this sounds hypocritical.

Shirou and Hajime walked towards the soldiers, while these said soldiers still had the same disgusting smile with a carefree expression.

"Seriously? Those rabbits are still alive?" A soldier said in an amused tone.

"What's wrong with these brats? Walking with those rabbits?" The other soldier said after realizing that Shirou and Hajime were walking in their direction.

"They may be slave traders HAHAHAHA!" The leader laughed as he got up to meet them.

"Thanks for leading those rabbits out of this canyon. Now let us handle the rest-" Before he finished talking, his head fell from his body and blood spurted out of his neck like a fountain before collapsing on the floor.

"Disgusting…" Shirou said behind the corpse, with Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands with a trail of blood in them.

"..."

There was a silence before the soldiers snapped out of their trance and finally understood the situation.

"Oy snap out you shits!" The vice-captain of the group said before taking his sword out of his sheath. "Quickly start chanting-!" His head exploded like a smashed tomato.

Hajime shot his head without hesitation, demonstrated by the expression on his face and the smoke coming out of his gun.

"AAAAAAAAAAa" The soldiers screamed in despair and fear, and their minds had already stopped thinking properly.

"KILL THEM!" A soldier shouted as charged along with other soldiers at Shirou and Hajime like wild animals.

Shirou charged at them and swung his sword at them, killing them with one his while dodging the blood to not get dirty while Hajime slowly walked and shot them. It wasn't even a fight, Shirou and Hajime were basically massacring them effortlessly as the Haulia tribe looked at them with shocked expressions since they weren't used to blood or any type of violence.

"P-Please spare me...I have an f-family…" The last soldier pleaded and suddenly his legs gave up and he fell to the ground. Shirou keeps walking slowly at the soldier, making him tremble in fear.

"What happened to the rabbit people that you captured?" Shirou asked coldly as he arrived in front of the soldier.

"T-They've been taken to the capital...It's too late for them." The soldier stuttered.

"I see...then there is no use for you." Shirou said before raising his arm.

The soldier widened his eyes and knew Shirou would kill him so as a last attempt, he raised his arms to defend himself.

"Wait...I-I don't want to do-" Shirou sliced him apart before he could finish his sentence.

The body lay on the floor as a pond of blood formed under the corpse.

Shirou looked around and saw that the ground was all tainted in red, he sighed before returning to the group with Hajime.

The Haulia tribe flinched and stared at them with fear and hesitation but Shirou and Hajime didn't care about it.

"The blood will attract the monsters, so it's better to get out of here quickly. We could also use the carriage to transport everyone."

Shirou said. Kam looked at his tribe briefly before bowing to Shirou and Hajime.

"I'm sorry. Even though you did this to protect us, we reacted like this to you." Kam apologized before pausing a little. "We were taken by surprise because we aren't familiar with these kinds of conflicts. So we apologise if we hurt your feelings." Kam bowed along with the tribe.

Shirou knew that he was being sincere and sighed.

"It's fine…" Shirou said before turning around and walked towards the carriage.

Yue and Shea followed the duo while Kam looked at the tribe before sighing and followed them.

Even if Shirou and his group wanted to go in Hajime's vehicle, there were too many people to fit, so the only option was to go in a carriage and horses.

Shirou was in the driver seat with Yue, Hajime and Shea while the tribe was riding horses or inside the carriage.

"Are you alright?" Yue asked since she knew that killing humans was different from killing monsters.

"I'm fine, it's just I didn't feel anything when I killed them." Shirou said.

"I also didn't feel anything. It didn't feel different from killing monsters, but I also don't want to become an indiscriminate murderer that kills for fun." Hajime said.

"Me neither." Shirou said.

"Hey hey can you please tell me more about yourselves?# Shea asked. "Since we will be together for now, I want to know more things about you!"

And just like when they first met Yue, Shea started sobbing after hearing their stories.

"It's so sad *Sniff* *Sniff*"

Yue looked at her and somehow saw herself on her, so she felt familiar with her. Then suddenly, Shea cleaned herself with Hajime's coat and got up.

"Hey! What do you think you are doing?" Hajime shouted at Shea.

"I have decided that I, Shea Haulia, will assist you on your journey!"

"Eh?" Shirou, Yue and Hajime looked at her with confused and blank faces.

"We four are of the same kind, so it's natural that we become partners! Let's overcome these trials together!" She shouted excitedly and punched the air.
