Chapter 1: Prelude to War (2)
It was a figure that stood out too much in the crowd.
With overly brilliant blonde hair and a well-rounded face, his figure stood out in the land like a flame in the darkness. And his style of dressing is also promoting a different style.
In the autumn and winter, he only wore a suit embellished with gorgeous patterns over the white V-neck, which was not a big problem, and in terms of visual effects, this young man's taste was indeed good. However...... It would be a mistake to think that there is only this degree.
What really makes people can't help but look at it is that he is still wearing luxurious gold jewelry on his wrists and neck, not of the grade of gold rings, but jewelry that can make people see its golden brilliance from more than ten meters away. However, what is even more surprising is that such a vulgar dress does not have any sense of vulgarity on the body of a young man.
This may be because the sense of existence of the youth itself is too strong, even gold cannot seize the slightest bit of the dominant, and can only become a foil for the youth.
-- But this is such a young man who can't be described by ordinary words in any way.,Looking at Yujiro without fear.。
In fact, the wording "fearless" is inappropriate here. The young man's eyes can be described as condescending, and the arrogance between his eyebrows is overflowing. For Yujiro though, these are trivial things that don't matter.
Without thinking about it, he walked straight to the other party.
As long as you have someone to answer your own questions, that's great. However......
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a miscellaneous thing as you in the world today."
As soon as the blonde young man spoke, Yujiro felt a great difficulty in communication.
To be honest, it was the first time he had met someone who called him a "miscellaneous" when he opened his mouth.
The arrogant Yujiro hasn't met it before, and the vampire in the Red Devil Pavilion is, but compared to the blonde youth, Remilia Scarlett seems to be a little cuter. Because Remilia's arrogance is still within the normal range, but the young man in front of her is a little emotionally crazy.
However, because of this, Yujiro was not angry.
For though the young man was extremely mean in his words, there was no contempt in his crimson eyes. Perhaps in the eyes of young people, everyone in this world except themselves is a miscellaneous person.
「…… Where are you king?"
That being said, Yujiro doesn't have any plans not to say anything.
It's not sarcasm, it's just pure amazement...... Marvel at how young people are so arrogant.
This was an unintentional exclamation, and even if he didn't get any response, Yujiro wouldn't be surprised at all. Unexpectedly, the young man actually nodded appreciatively.
"Not bad! Able to see through the majesty of the king...... Looks like you're no ordinary crumb, you're good! Let me give you the glory of seeing this king."
Whatever anyone hears can only be described as crazy words, they are said by young people in a grandiose manner. I have to say that his oppressive solemnity is indeed extraordinary, and the reason why his words are not so ridiculous is all due to this.
Hearing this, Yujiro frowned.
He didn't expect the other party to admit it in a dignified manner. This has gone beyond ordinary arrogance.
He did admit that the bearing of a young man is not something that ordinary people can have, and that kind of arrogant attitude can only be possessed by those who are accustomed to being served. At this point, Remilia and the other party are almost the same, the only difference is that the young man is more than the vampire - Yujiro said that where the young man came from is not because he saw the majesty of the king, but simply because the other party's attitude is more arrogant than Remilia as the lord to make such a judgment.
If some madman said this, Yujiro would definitely glance at it and walk away. Because there is no need to continue listening.
However, it is clear that youth is not just an idiot who has been madly robbed of his mind.
In addition to arrogance, there is something deeper and darker lurking inside the bright red eyes that no ordinary person can have. An unshakable cold will, an arrogant arrogance, and much more.
Unfortunately, this is Yujiro's limit. Although he was aware of it, he could not discern what the characteristics of the youth were.
…… Because he's a pretty simple guy, much simpler than the average person.
But even so, he could understand that the young man's words were not nonsense that could be laughed off. So, that is, the youth in front of you is ......
"Servant?"
The Holy Grail War, a war that summons the souls of ancient heroes to battle in the present world. If this young man was really a king as he claimed to be...... Then he can only be a servant.
"Oh---?"
Hearing Yujiro's rhetorical question, the young man cast a meaningful gaze at him.
"I see, you're not just an ordinary crumb, but a master."
For the blonde youth, or the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, the man in front of him was also a surprise.
Although time continues to pass, the human species has not become better, and the human world has become more filthy, and the hero king is not dissatisfied with this.
It should be said that there is no satisfaction, the world is just his courtyard, and the hero king will watch the changes of the world with great interest, even if it is irretrievably ugly.
It is good for good people to try to live, and it is good for evil people to live who hurt others, and Gilgamesh does not hate them in any way. Even if he doesn't admit it, maybe he still loves humanity deep down.
However, when he came to this world, he was still dissatisfied.
After all, he is the king, and the picky personality is a matter of course.
Gilgamesh was bored.
His master, Tosaka Tokitomi, is a superior magician. The attitude of not being humble or arrogant, but showing respect for him, is rare in today's world. But ah......
No matter how you look at it, Tosaka Tokitomi, who maintains a serious and elegant attitude, is definitely not an interesting guy in the eyes of the hero king.
Gilgamesh, who likes to walk for a living, has never met any interesting guys in his "tour" since he came to this world, which makes him feel bored.
…… Today, however, the situation seems to have changed.
At this moment, the black-haired young man in front of him, since he knew about the Holy Grail War, was undoubtedly a master.
"Not bad."
That is, as Gilgamesh had said, but beyond his expectations, the young man nodded his head in acknowledgement.
To be able to deal with the servant so calmly when faced alone, this person is either crazy or amazingly bold. Gilgamesh believed that the other party should be the latter.
"Since we're masters, you should know that we're hostile, right?"
"Of course I know—but are you going to fight now?"
"Not really."
The other party's straightforward rhetorical question made the hero king sneer, maybe the other party was a very keen person, and he sensed that Gilgamesh had no killing intent. Still, the overly blunt words were a bit of his surprise.
Theoretically, masters should be magicians. And the guy in front of him is simply subverting the impression of a magician.
Unexpected uprightness...... He doesn't care about lying at all, and he doesn't want to put any effort into words.
「…… It's kind of a funny hashtag, what's your name?"
"Yujiro."
"Let you be spared today, and thank the king for his mercy."
With that, the Hero King turned and left.
Although he is a sinner who covets his treasures, let the victory or defeat be left to the battlefield, and then judge the sinner himself - this is the king's decision.
…… However, it turns out that even the king is not as good as he wishes.
"Wait."
The voice behind him made the Hero King stop, and he turned to look at the young man who had reached out to stop him with his usual cold gaze.
「…… Why did you suddenly stop the king? If it's a meaningless thing, it's a felony. Do not waste the mercy of this king."
"Ah, that's a very important thing to me, can you tell me about the best inn in the neighborhood before you leave?"
Extremely rare, Yujiro looked at the hero king with hopeful eyes.
