Hero of Justice (Fate/Stay Night UBW x Shield Hero)

Serpent's Den

"A snake can be deadly and venomous, but not as deadly and venomous as a traitor" -Prajjval Tiwari

EMIYA then dryly chuckles, saying "I thought returning to the counter force would finally allow me to stop looking at you. Turns out, it was just a short respite before I get to look at your annoying face once more."

"The feeling's mutual... Archer. Now what do you want from me? Or did you just call me here to make fun of me?"

"Like I'd wanna even do anything remotely close to that. The last thing I want to do is see you once more. However, I do have one thing to say to you."

"Yeah?"

Shirou was going to say something else to spite Archer but decides to hold his tongue, knowing that despite his cynical, snarky exterior, he is still his alternate future self. So, if he has something else to say aside from a sarcastic or spiteful comment, it's most likely important.

"Your fellow heroes, aside from Rin of course, they make me sick."

"I know... Motoya-"

"I don't just mean that Mordred looking scumbag that Rin suplexed. I mean all of them."

"Aside from that bit with Rin, what do you mean?"

"I knew you were foolish Shirou Emiya, but to think your stupidity was this deep. I don't know if you see it or you are just ignorant."

"Stop with the crap Archer. Spill it."

"You're fellow heroes see this world as nothing more than a game. Something you no doubt would've if you didn't see the shield hero's problem which hits quite close to home. Doesn't it? Anyways, you're regaining conciousness, so the last bit of advice I can give to you would be this, make them see the world as it is. Not what they want you to see."

"Wait!"

Shirou then gasps awake as the woman from earlier stood in front of him, alongside a gathered crowd. Shirou then groggily says "What... Wh-where did he go?"

The woman then breaths a sigh of relief, saying "Oh thank goodness you're okay sir hero! B-but if you're asking where the thief went, your efforts apprehended the scumbag."

'Not the "he" I was thinking off, but okay.'

"N-no, I mean, did you see the bow hero anywhere?"

"Wait, Sir Bow hero was with you? Then... No, I didn't."

"I... see..."

So, after all that, the four regroup as planned at the door of the blacksmith's shop and then set out for the outside once more. They then went and did the usual hunting, now even including slightly higher level creatures like porcupines and such. However, today, Naofumi had something special in mind.

While they were walking around, noone realizes that Naofumi was leading somewhere deeper into the trees than usual. Raphtalia is the first to notice, saying "M-master? Where are we going? This isn't our usual hunting grounds."

Naofumi turns to her with a smile, saying "This time around, I was hoping to mix things up a bit. Seeing as how our normal hunting grounds was getting a bit stale and the fact we've been getting the same old things already. I was hoping to possibly try and get stronger faster by taking on things that are slightly stronger." RiN then mutters out, "Real risky there Iwatani."

After they set up base camp, the quad then begins their hunt. Within this part of the shrubbery, the creatures they encountered were dog sized brown spider-like creatures, small wolf-like monsters with four eyes and a surprising amount of the egg-like creatures.
