The time came early the next morning.

The rising sun awakens the sleeping ...... In the city where I had never slept at all, the golden and soft morning light shone into the kitchen, and the lord and knight sat opposite each other, two sets of cutlery and a steaming meal on the table.

"It's been a big improvement...... Could it be that I spent the whole night last night wondering? ”

Glancing at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Xia Ran hesitated slightly.

He had wanted to remind the knight maiden that early in the morning was not suitable for eating too much hearty and greasy, and that it could be used as a meal for lunch and dinner......

But after thinking about it for a while, and looking at the look of hope and expectation faintly emerging in the emerald green eyes of the petite girl opposite, he still opened his mouth to encourage, and the idea of correcting the other party was instantly thrown to the back of his mind.

- Anyway, this poor knight king is just pursuing this, so it's better not to discourage her self-motivation......

Besides, there is such a maid in the family who is very interested in studying cooking, isn't it the best to expand? After all, he is the one who benefits in the end, and with physical problems, it is not afraid that it will cause too much burden on the stomach or something, so it is no problem at all.

"No, no, I just, I just read a book for a while before going to bed and summarized the deficiencies of last night......"

Saber blushed slightly and whispered, a little embarrassed to admit that she was so concerned with this kind of thing that she spent most of her private time in the evening.

That doesn't sound very good, but doesn't it make her seem like a foodie?

"No wonder it looks like the dishes that appeared at dinner last night......" Xia Ran glanced at it, nodded slightly, but didn't continue to ask anything more on that topic, but directly picked up the bowl in front of him and picked up the chopsticks.

"Whew......" Saber immediately felt relieved when she saw this, she really didn't want to discuss this kind of topic with Master-

There was no other reason, it was purely that when she had the first meal in this world before, she was stared at by Xia Ran for some reason, and this incident left her with some awkward feelings......

So much so that now when she sits at the dining table and is watched by the other party talking, she will think of the previous sense of embarrassment, so she subconsciously behaves a little restrained. To put it bluntly, she felt that she might have been really rude before.

And now this topic is very easy for her to recall the previous embarrassment, so she feels awkward because of this, she doesn't want to talk about it much, and she doesn't want to give Master the impression that he is a foodie.

- It's probably some common characteristics of girls, but what she doesn't know is that the label on this aspect has already been labeled on her in Xia Ran's heart, and it is not something that her current behavior can reverse.

"By the way, I'm going to school today, Saber, what are you going to do? Well, I mean, what do you think? ”

Xia Ran is not a person who admires "eating without saying a word, sleeping without speaking", for him, it is simply normal to talk about things by the way during dinner, so he asked very calmly.

"What do I think? Master, what do you mean? Saber frowned slightly, subconsciously pressed his chopsticks to his lips, and looked at him in surprise.

"So what are you going to do?" Xia Ran explained calmly, "It's to stay at home and take care of the family, and continue to study the recipe by the way...... Or come with me to school, what do you think about this, I'd like to hear your own opinion. ”

"I'm going with you, Master!"

Saber suddenly understood, and said in a very serious tone.

Although I have roughly understood the background of this world, and I also know that this world is relatively peaceful, although there are still disputes in some places, this is still normal-

After all, it is still the same sentence, unless the human race is completely exterminated, there will never be real peace on this planet, and even the Holy Grail will naturally prepare to achieve it by exterminating the human race in the face of the grand wish of "world peace", you can imagine how contradictory this situation is.

But even so, this world is still generally peaceful after all, and there is not as much dark side as the FATE world, murderers, dead apostles, true ancestors, magicians, not only the human society on the surface is constantly strife, fighting you to the death, the inhuman bloodsuckers and people with inhuman values in the secret are also making trouble......

It is said that the mysterious side of this world has now declined, and I don't know how long it will be before the next reincarnation comes...... Saber didn't understand these statements, as an ancient British, she didn't have any cognition of "yin and yang transformation", and she didn't understand what it meant to be "the rise and fall of all spirits, no constant strength, no constant weakness".

She only knew that the current world was indeed much more peaceful than the world she was born in, and with her master's ability, as long as she didn't go to a mysterious final position similar to the one in the world, such as Gensokyo, then there would be no problem at all.

In fact, it is true, even if you don't count the bonus increase of skill equipment, just looking at the pure basic attributes, Xia Ran is already a monster in human skin.

If the 20 full stats of the Obsidian Pod Bonus are calculated, then his current base stats are: 65 Strength, 70 Agility, 70 Constitution, 119 Intelligence, 119 Spirit, and 95 Perception.

It's really a very brutal level, and that's just the basic stat value.

Extremely comprehensive illusion abilities......

A psychic ability that overlaps with the realm of illusion......

Not to mention any other summoning abilities, destruction spells, strong melee combat and the like, just these two hole cards are enough for him to run rampant in this modern society.

But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to do what you want to do, you can't just because you feel that the master is almost impossible to encounter danger and can't use yourself, so as a servant, you can paddle and fish with peace of mind, right?

At least Artoria would never have been able to do such a thing, like the king's guards in the palace, and perhaps never encountered a situation that really needed them to do it, but that didn't mean they weren't needed.

"I knew that...... Let's go together. ”

Xia Ran was not surprised by this, he actually asked out of courtesy, fully showing that he respected the free will of the servant, but he already knew the answer.

"Huh?"

"Isn't it weird? Thought I was going to dissuade you? Xia Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm not so bored, and it's not that I don't know Saber that you definitely won't listen to my opinion, so why don't you just agree to it?" ”

"Master, it's not that I can't listen to other people's opinions, but in these aspects, I have my own insistence and judgment......" The knight girl corrected his statement and explained.

"Good, good, I know...... That's it anyway. Xia Ran was not interested in having a debate with her in the morning.

"Well, Master, this won't bother you, will it?" At this time, Saber was a little worried about him.

"What trouble can there be, although the school is not directly open, it is not as heavily guarded as a military base......" Xia Ran shook his head, "Under normal circumstances, as long as you register, you can go in directly." ”

"Is that okay? It won't be a problem, right? ”

"Of course there will be no problem...... It's just that you can find a place to stay in the school, and you can't get into the classroom during the school day, and I won't let you stare at me in the hallway outside, that would be too frightening......"

Xia Ran put down his chopsticks and lowered his head to ponder.

It's okay to take Saber with her, but it's troublesome that she can't be spiritualized, and of course it's not just because of the problem of spiritualization, but mainly because he's not used to a girl with a spirit behind her staring at him silently.

However, it doesn't matter if you take her directly into the school, it's not a problem, of course it's not that the school is dangerous or anything, the ivory tower is not so dangerous that it is, he mainly thinks it's very troublesome.

Wait, in fact, I don't need to be so entangled, doesn't Emiya Kiritsugu's approach provide a good idea for myself?

……

……

"Xia Ran, good morning."

After a long absence, he rushed to the school, returned to the classroom and sat down, looking at the slightly unfamiliar but familiar environment around him with satisfaction, Xia Ran nodded lightly.

It's just that I just put the bag away, and subconsciously glanced out of the corridor, and then I heard a voice from the back seat.

He paused slightly, then turned around and found that the girl in the back seat was looking at him indifferently, with her fair and slender hands crossed on the table, and a textbook spread out in front of him.

It seems to be a very ordinary scene, the person is ordinary and beautiful, and the behavior is an ordinary student performance, but-

Why did you just ignore her existence?

"Kato-san, it's been a long time."

However, this phenomenon is normal, and Megumi Kato's own breath blocks the EX-level rank skills, isn't this a fact that has been determined for a long time? So Xia Ran instantly disagreed, and greeted him with a smile.

"It's been a long time...... Missing? The girl tilted her head and said with a puzzled expression, "Although it is true that you didn't come yesterday, classmate Xia Ran, and you didn't even take the exam, but it's only a day, so it's not a long time since you haven't seen you, right?" ”

"I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns......" Xia Ran said with a very sincere tone, "In my opinion, it really feels like I haven't seen you Kato for a long time, so I have been missing ...... very much"

Hey? How do you feel that you seem to have said something similar a long time ago?

Delusion, it must be an illusion, it must be the sense of déjà vu brought about by the confusion of time and space, I am always deeply troubled by it, and I always subconsciously feel that a certain scene and a certain dialogue have been experienced......

Xia Ran quickly found a reasonable scientific explanation, he was a person who believed in science, so he nodded secretly in his heart.

"Thank you, but I always feel that this statement is perfunctory, and it doesn't seem like it's sincere."

The ordinary girl who lacked features bowed her head slightly, and said quietly with a calm expression as usual, with a calm heart.
