Fortunately, in the plot where the future Emiya Shirou, that is Archer, appeared, although the battles were extremely fierce, they didn't cause too much damage to the city, and most of the major battles took place in the outskirts, so there wasn't much impact on the city's residents.
This was one point that gave Hayashi slight peace of mind.
But this was, after all, a merged world, and Hayashi couldn't guarantee that the original plot wouldn't change at all.
Just like now, the future Emiya Shirou had coincidentally appeared in his restaurant.
If he said this was just coincidentally smelling the aroma and coming in to taste the food, Hayashi definitely wouldn't believe it.
Please, these heroic spirits might not need to eat, unless their masters were hungry.
The future Emiya Shirou looked at Hayashi and discovered he couldn't see through Hayashi's strength.
Beneath his calm expression was shock like surging waves, with a flash of ultimate surprise in the depths of his eyes, and even his brow furrowed very subtly.
But having experienced countless cycles of battle and slaughter through endless years, the future Emiya Shirou, that is Archer.
He had long practiced various skills, including remaining unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.
Even if the sky fell, his expression wouldn't change one bit.
For this reason, he could remain so composed.
Archer looked at Hayashi and spoke:
"From your expression, you seem to know me?"
The corner of Archer's mouth curved into a wicked arc, a flash of hostility flickered in his eyes, and his fingers remained in a tense state.
As long as Hayashi showed the slightest movement, he would instantly draw the twin swords from his back.
One blade would directly slash at Hayashi's neck, while the other would strike toward the other girls.
This was called attacking what the enemy must defend.
Before entering, he had already observed through Hayashi's interactions with the girls that these girls were extremely important to Hayashi.
They could even be said to be as important as Hayashi's life.
Although his combat thoughts were extremely despicable, warriors who had survived countless battlefield slaughters were just like this.
They had to utilize everything available and every weakness to achieve victory.
Otherwise, how could he, originally just a human body, possibly engage in crazy battles with those powerful heroic spirits later and successfully survive to the end?
Without such unscrupulous, despicable mentality, he couldn't have survived until now.
However, Archer didn't attack immediately.
Because he could see that in Hayashi's eyes, there was only shock and curiosity, without hostility or fear.
Especially, he could tell that Hayashi's initial appearance clearly showed he recognized him, which made him inevitably curious.
In his past heroic spirit battle career, he didn't remember ever meeting the Hayashi before him.
Though he was quite handsome, that was true.
Hayashi naturally also sensed the extremely subtle hostility emanating from Archer, his lips curving upward without any panic.
He was no longer as powerless as before.
Now he possessed numerous powers and extremely strong abilities.
Moreover, he could clearly see the gap between his own strength and his opponent's.
Hayashi was confident that in just an instant, he could grab the future Emiya Shirou's neck and lift him up like picking up a chick.
Or directly pin him to the ground unable to move.
Hayashi was even confident he could instantly unleash the power of his ice domain, instantly turning him into a block of ice that would then shatter.
Although Archer's spiritual body seemed like nothing could harm it.
But don't forget, Hayashi now possessed many powerful abilities.
Even spiritual bodies could be damaged.
For this reason, Hayashi could be so calm and composed.
Looking at the future Emiya Shirou before him, Hayashi smiled slightly:
"Guests are welcome, but we're already closed now."
"If you need anything, please come earlier tomorrow."
Hayashi's smiling appearance seemed to carry no threat whatsoever.
The future Emiya Shirou didn't dare underestimate him in the slightest.
From the moment he stepped in here, he had sensed two extremely terrifying powers.
The strongest among them was the girl in maid outfit beside Hayashi who looked extremely cute - that is, Tohru.
Archer could sense an extremely powerful force from her.
Even, for a moment, when Tohru felt fear toward him, this invisible heroic spirit, he seemed to see a massive dragon.
Archer couldn't help but suspect that the girl he saw, that is Tohru, might actually be a transformed dragon.
If it were before, Archer would definitely have scoffed and laughed it off - how could there be dragons in the world?
Those were just fictional creatures.
But after experiencing so many battles.
Having seen much, he naturally knew that in ancient times or certain special dimensions, there did exist such terrifying creatures as dragons.
As long as it was a dragon, its power would be extremely frightening.
However, Archer wasn't worried.
Because he was a spiritual body, dragon power couldn't touch him, while he could harm the opponent, so he wasn't afraid.
The other power he sensed naturally came from Kanna on the second floor.
Kanna's power was equally turbulent and violent, but like Tohru, it was well suppressed within her body, not spreading wildly.
But Archer could still sense that these two hidden powers were very terrifying and powerful.
But they still couldn't harm him, which was why he could enter so calmly without any worry.
But it wasn't until the moment he came before Hayashi that he realized he was wrong, terribly wrong.
Having two girls with such terrifying powers, neither had detected his presence.
Yet this young man before him, from whom he couldn't see any power and had always thought was an ordinary person, had looked straight at him the moment he appeared and approached this late-night diner.
At that time, he thought it was coincidence, just Hayashi happening to look in this direction.
But now, Archer was very certain that Hayashi was looking at him.
Moreover, to remain so calm after being able to see him - that could only mean he was absolutely a strong person!
Archer didn't see a trace of panic in Hayashi's eyes.
And he really couldn't figure out how terrifying and powerful Hayashi's strength was.
But his instincts kept reminding him: flee, flee quickly!
Even though he had once in a brutal battle had both legs severed, his left arm also cut off, leaving only one arm.
And was severely wounded, lying on the ground barely clinging to life.
But he had never felt such despair in his heart as he did today.
That was a fear like facing death itself.
He knew he couldn't escape.
Even if he fled, unless Hayashi was willing to spare him, he would still only face death.
Even his master Tohsaka Rin, who was waiting outside for his return, would likewise be unable to escape the fate of being killed.
