Chapter 8: The Hall of the Brave

When everyone arrived at the palace called the Hall of the Brave, it was about eight o'clock in the evening.

Because it was a celebration, although the sky was completely dark, the streets were brightly lit, and the warm orange flames seemed to fall on the stars on the ground, revealing a little romantic taste.

Rika Fujimaru was invited by Nero to ride the float together, and then it was really just a ride on the float together.

After passing through the peculiar point F Fuyuki, I originally thought that this Roman peculiarity would also be the kind of battle occasion that I couldn't tell, but now that I look at it, it doesn't seem to be the case at all!

Emperor Nero had no intention of fighting, as if he did possess the Holy Grail, but it was unclear what it was used for. [Summoning Heroes from Other Worlds], to put it bluntly, is actually using the power of the Holy Grail to summon Servants, right? Why the hell did she come to summon the Servants?

At least I don't understand it yet, I can't see that Nero is hostile, he is just playing the same feeling.

There is a curse Hassan secretly protecting, plus next to the float, Dilumudo, Leonida, and Siegfried all followed, although they were nervous along the way, but at least they didn't encounter anything special, Fujimaru Rika was very restrained at first, but gradually, infected by Nero's momentum, it also became happy, and in the end, these two people were already a friendship that could hook their shoulders and sing together.

The Hall of the Brave, as the name suggests, is an annex used to house the [Brave of Another World]. Here, only the brave who have been chosen to summon from various eras for a common reason in response to the call of the Holy Grail can live.

The exterior is white and gold, which stands out ornately. The interior is prominent and neat, divided into two floors. The hall on the first floor is covered with fine stone bricks, and the round wooden tables are spread out like taverns, and girls dressed in white veils walk among them with wine vessels and eating utensils in their hands, and girls in white veils, holding harps in their hands, are playing music in the corners that do not seem to be noisy.

The second floor, carved with ornate white columns, leads to two spiral staircases, and the second floor resembles an inn, with closed wooden doors lined up. Judging from the appearance, there are about three and four floors, but you can't see them from the first floor.

"Yike...... How nice, Emperor Nero. ”

Stepping into the Hall of the Brave, Rika Fujimaru was still immersed in the excitement of singing and dancing with Nero, and this joyful atmosphere reminded her of Japan's Obon Festival or New Year's temple fairs and other activities.

"Yo, little girl, you were the one who just rode the float with Emperor Nero, right?"

Before the servants around him could respond to the girlish feelings of their master, the voice in the Hall of the Brave came over first.

It was a tall, strong man with blue hair, silver earrings in both ears, a blue hooded cape over his shoulders, a black leotard underneath, and a crotch skirt tied around his waist. The man walked to the door with an elaborate wooden staff in his hand, blocking everyone's way.

Although he was a little rude to the person he met for the first time, he always felt that his attitude was a little frivolous.

Yes, it's like that...... It's like a flirtatious man who comes over to talk to his prey.

He stared at Rika Fujimaru with red eyes, a smile on his face, and he looked quite aggressive.

Siegfried silently stepped forward, and his tall body completely blocked Fujimaru Rika behind him.

Leonidas, too, stood next to Siegfried, the shield in his hand turned sideways, covering half of his body.

Seeing the tension between the two, the blue-haired man smiled dryly and said, "There is no hostility~ Really, a man who is too protective will be hated by a woman." It's called a rule of thumb - well, even though I don't have a good woman. ”

He grinned so much that he looked like a disciple.

"So, what the hell are you here for?"

Yukisai Yagi asked proactively. The blue-haired man looked delighted - he looked like the type who would show his mood on his face, and he looked easy to read.

"It's just that I saw a nice good woman and came over~ that's the so-called ...... Yes, pick-up, pick-up. Hahaha, would you be suspected of being a suspicious character if you say that? ”

He laughed to himself as he made a pointless joke, as if he had been amused by himself.

"No kidding, I'm just here to give you some advice as a [senior]. If you don't mind, come and sit. You are all fresh faces, and you are the [Servants] who have just been summoned by the [Holy Grail], right? Somebody has to guide you - it's great that I'm so reliable as a caster. ”

"It's okay, although the appearance is suspicious, but my generation can vouch for it, at least this person is barely a bad person."

While he was talking, someone at the next table accosted him. It was an old-fashioned swordsman, a swordsman who gave people the feeling of a [Japanese samurai] at first glance. The body is a Japanese-style blue-blue haori, and the same blue long hair is combed high into a ponytail, and a katana is stuck diagonally behind the back, almost dragging it to the ground.

He was holding a white porcelain wine glass and took a sip. The girl in white sitting across from him sighed, shrugged her shoulders and drank the liquid from the white porcelain wine bowl.

"Wow, is it really okay to come up and hurt me like this?"

"No problem. We're friends, aren't we. ”

The Zephyr man smiled shallowly and quipped, and the blue-haired hooded man laughed noncommittally.

Although I don't know the specific situation, Fujimaru Rika understands that the current situation is very peculiar.

"That...... So, you are all here? ”

Although Rika Fujimaru was in a questioning tone, she had already guessed it in her heart.

"Well, lovely young lady, we are all summoned servants. Caster, Cúchulainn. Over there, it's Assassin Kojiro Sasaki. ”

The man who called himself Cúchulainn revealed their real names without healing.

To be honest, there is no benefit in hiding your real name in this case.

It had been nearly a month since he had been summoned to Rome, and his real name had long been almost grasped by the others in this Hall of the Brave. Rather than hiding it, it should be used as a sign of friendliness.

As for that Sasaki Kojiro, this guy is a complete weirdo. When Cú Chulainn first came, he at least knew to hide his real name, calling himself [Irish Caster], this one is good, and he came up and said that he was Assassin Kojiro Sasaki, which made the others very embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

But the first time he saw him, Cú Chulainn felt that this kid had a very good appetite for himself, and after coming and going, the two of them had become acquainted in this Hall of the Brave and became good drinking friends.

However, the woman in white across from him had no impression, and she had a few encounters, but she had no deep friendship.

"In short-someone has to explain the current situation to the [Master] who came from afar~ Just think of us as being deceived, come and sit down."
