Chapter 8: An Untimely and Relaxed Routine (1)
"Oooh...... This, this is amazing!"
Early in the morning, Shirou had just gotten up when he heard the sound of Saber's surprise coming from the living room.
Although I talked to Rin Tosaka on the phone until the early hours of the morning last night, the good biological clock habit still made Shirou get up from bed during the daily rational exercise time, although there is still fatigue on his face, but the elderly generally sleep for a short time, which is not a big problem.
Shirou carefully searched his body, and was relieved to see that it was still functioning well. Putting on his coat, he practiced smiling in the mirror before stepping out the door to meet Saber.
"What's wrong Saber?"
"Shirou!Shirou!Look, it's a success!It's a big success!!"
His Royal Highness the Knight King showed a joy that did not match her temperament, and her face was full of excitement, and she dragged a plastic box with both hands, and lifted it in front of Shirou in ecstasy.
This action was too distinct, and for a moment, Shirou even felt Saber's tail grow from his back, whirring and flicking.
Before he could see what it was, Shirou smelled a strong smell of oil, a cheap smell of salt, oil, edible additives, and other things mixed with hot water.
After taking a closer look at this plastic bucket, it has a sea-blue packaging, and a noodle bowl full of various materials is painted on it, and with the smell of just cheap, you can see that this is instant noodles, and it is a barrel of noodles that is easy to carry as a selling point to raise the price.
"Ah...... Instant noodles?"
"Yes!
Saber Artoria smiled brightly, stirring the plastic fork heartily, and the yellow noodles quickly entwined on the fork: "Shirou wants to taste it?!"
Yes...... Don't use it, right?
Shirou smiled bitterly in his heart, really, Saber really likes to eat.
However, it seems that compared to the conclusion that "Saber likes to eat", it is better to say that it is because [Shirou feels that Saber likes to eat], so Artoria in front of him will show such a happy expression, right?
Brewing instant noodles with boiling water, this can be said to be the most common survival skills, to put it mildly, as long as you are not an idiot, you can easily do it according to the instructions, but it is better to say that it is rare to do it badly.
After all, it's just tearing open the plastic bag, pouring all the materials into it, and then adding water. Moreover, if Shirou remembers correctly, the materials of this brand have already been placed in it directly, and you only need to make hot water, then pour it in, and wait for three minutes to be OK.
However, Saber is happy. Shirou didn't break that.
It seems that Saber is hungry and wants to try to make something on her own, but her [common sense] tells her that this is the fastest way to do it.
"Saber, do you like it? instant noodles or something?"
This was a bit of a surprise to Shirou. After all, Saber is the king of knights, everyone knows that knights are a profession that eats body food, and in general, they will pay attention to the nutrition of food, and Saber, who is the king of knights, should be a person who is quite particular about food, how can he like this kind of fast food that is not nutritious?
However, looking at Saber's happy look, it seems that I like it very much?
"Ah, I love it. Shirou. ”
Ah, sure enough, she closed her eyes and savored the aroma of the food as she stuffed the freshly rolled noodles into her mouth - Shirou said he wouldn't eat it, the rolls were all rolled, how could he waste it?!
"It tastes good, and the ingredients are plentiful, it's easy to carry, it's warm, and the production time is short, ah, if only there were such things in my time." It will be much more convenient to march and fight. Grain and grass or something...... That's a big problem. ”
Saber said this, and his mind returned to the battlefield where there were swords.
In war, the transportation of grain and grass is a big problem and a lot of trouble. If you go out with the army, it will be difficult for the grain and grass team to keep up with the speed of the knights, let alone the knights, and even the speed of the infantry will be slowed down by them.
If you follow behind, then you have to worry about whether the enemy will cut off the back road, not too far from the main camp, but also pay attention to concealment.
Moreover, the baggage is very heavy, especially when the army marches and fights, it is often a month to leave, and so much food is heavy. In addition, the supply line is too long, and it will also drag down the country.
This kind of grain and grass problem didn't give Saber a headache back then, and it would be nice if there were instant noodles back then. This kind of food is not only light, but also tastes much better than dry military food, and more importantly, there is no need to start a fire, just find a way to heat the water, and the warm and warm, soup and water food can warm the body and mind of the soldiers, how good!
However, after listening to Saber's description, Shirou's mind came to him, and a large number of knights wrapped in heavy plate armor pushed carts of instant noodles and sang triumphant songs after Saber......
Wow...... This can be said to be very nonsensical.
Shirou almost didn't laugh out loud when he made up for this happy scene, and then looked at Saber, who had completely ignored himself, holding the instant noodle bucket and quickly stuffing the food into his mouth.
That's right, she is now a heroic spirit, a servant, a non-living body, food for her, than [filling her stomach] [replenishing energy], more [satisfying the appetite], the main reason why Saber needed to eat back then was that her magic could not fill Saber's needs, and she had to rely on food to replenish.
It's different now, even if it's a near-death state of Abner, the magic power he provides is still far greater than that of Shirou back then, and it can only be said that the basis of the comparison between these two people from the beginning is not right. It's like a 100-year-old tree, and its roots are almost thicker than a sapling. Shirou did not inherit Kiritsugu's magic circuit, and relied entirely on his own talents, unlike the magic carvings of the Winifred family, which has been passed down to this day by Abner.
The magic mark of the Tosaka family? Of course, it's on Rin Tosaka!
Seeing Saber so happy, Shirou was satisfied. For him, it is better and easier than a fierce battle, or any other exciting occasion, as is the ordinary daily life with Saber.
"Well, it's not good to eat this all the time, right?"
Shirou couldn't help but say this when he saw that he had finished eating the instant noodles and was reaching out to the next bucket of instant noodles.
He had noticed yesterday that Albert might have been thinking about convenience, and he had prepared a considerable amount of instant food, not to mention instant noodles, instant vermicelli, instant rice, and a lot of mineral water. Of course, ordinary ingredients are also readily available, and this appearance is like a prepared attitude.
I'm afraid that I was able to be besieged by the enemy in the workshop and couldn't get out, and I could still rely on this food to support the rest of the month, right?
Although the Heroic Spirit can not eat or drink, the Master cannot. If it is the enemy's siege war, then the initiative is in the hands of Abner, because the premise is that the enemy cannot break through Abner's workshop, and can only defend outside, so when Abner breaks through is his freedom. He could have harassed him from time to time, so that the other party's master could experience the pain of the Heroic Spirit's massive consumption of mana every once in a while. However, because it was his own choice of timing, he was definitely fine.
This person really made too many preparations for the Holy Grail War, but unfortunately, such a prepared person was still defeated by the too over-spec Surut.
"Hey, Shirou said, do you want to cook?!"
Hearing this, a handful of hair curled up on Saber's forehead swayed rapidly, and her face was full of hope, and she looked at Shirou like a puppy, her eyes shining.
Although instant noodles have many benefits, Shirou's rice is a little more delicious in comparison. It's a contrast between good and better, and Saber immediately chooses better.
"Ah, I'm already up anyway, so I'm going to do something. So—"
Shirou turned his words and looked at the girl who was quietly staying in the corner next to her, she didn't wear that green hood today, white sportswear, simple and comfortable, Lohia's beauty was not discounted because of the cheapness of the clothes, but it was because of the cheapness of the clothes that it brought out the elegance of her appearance.
It was not at all like a guerrilla, more like a big lady than Robin Hood. Lohia heard him calling himself, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Please give me water...... No, please give me Japanese-style cuisine. ”
She loved fruit, as she had long proven, but she paused and ended up switching to something else.
Is it a rebellion? Do you rebel against it because your favorite fruit is a [setting]?
Or do you want to try something different, to find proof that you're really living at this point in time?
"Ah, I see, I'm very good at Japanese style. ”
Shirou smiled and went into the kitchen to get busy.
I haven't seen this kind of scene in a long time.
In the former Weigong mansion, there were teachers who would run over to eat, blonde girls who mysteriously appeared in the warehouse, students of the same level who suddenly talked to themselves, and there were often cute junior kyudo juniors who came to their homes to help cook.
What a welcoming view that is?
Unfortunately, after the Holy Grail War, this routine disappeared. Shirou's daily life has become a situation where he and Tosaka argue every day about whether it is better to be Japanese or Chinese, and the dining table of the big family has become a world of only two people.
Speaking of which...... How's your house going?
It seems to say that Fuji-sama, Emiya's former guardian, Fujimura Taiga, gave the house as a reward to the people in the Fujimura group...... I don't know, did that person take good care of his house? I don't know, what does his house look like now, is it, and it is as lively as before?
That's all I can hope for.
Shirou has been cooking for himself since he was in school, and now he has surpassed the road of light driving, to the point where he can master it with ease, and the kitchen knife is running like a fly, and unlike the chaotic scenery outside the kitchen, the house is completely opposite to the safe order.
Cooking miso, croquettes, and braised rice, Shirou skillfully prepares all of this, and sincerely hopes that time can pass a little slower and that time can be kept in this moment for a long time.
