After listening to Skaha's explanation, the girl and I looked at each other in surprise.

This shot can be called a big deal!

"Queen of the Shadow Nation, this must not be! All I'm asking for is an ordinary dragon's beard grass, and besides, I must exchange the corresponding items. How can one accept such a precious treasure without permission? The girl shook her head and replied flatly.

"Take it, Knight King." Skaha smiled indifferently, leaning back in his chair, showing his beautiful curves, "First of all, I like you very much, and second, you are the king of a country after all, and the dragon scale grass taken from the treasure house of my shadow country can match your identity." ”

"Third," Skaha's lips curled with a hint of mystery, "I, as a teacher, apologize for the trouble Ku Chulin has caused you and your master. If you really can't accept it, just take it as my apology for you. ”

As she spoke, she gave me an interesting look.

…………

“……！ You, how could you ......?! "I could barely believe my ears.

In Skaha's words, there is actually the word "Master"!

It's really...... Was it more than a thousand years ago?

…………

"Queen of the Shadow Nation, please explain why you know about that war."

The girl's eyes when she looked at Skaha also carried a strong look of vigilance.

"Whew, that's hard to explain." Skaha rubbed his eyebrows as if he was a little troubled, "But your master can use the power of time and space of the Holy Grail to come to this era, and I can know something about the future, so it's not too much." ”

The girl didn't speak, still staring at Skaha.

Obviously, this explanation did not satisfy her.

…………

"Let's put it this way, my eyes can see through everything that happens in the outside world." Skaha raised his hand and touched his eye sockets, "The Shadow Country is originally located on the outer side of the world, and has its own independent timeline, which can be called up to the timeline of the outside world at any time to watch. What's more, for me who stepped into the realm of the gods, time was meaningless at all, just a pure record. According to Merlin, I am a sage who has been detached from your world and silently observed all things from the outside. ”

"Knight King, just as you possess the Holy Lance Lengominiade, the Arashi Anchor that holds the stars, and the Tower at the End of the World's Surface. You should also understand the vastness of the perspective from outside the world. ”

......The girl was silent for a moment, and finally reached out and grabbed the wooden box on the table.

"In this way, O Queen of the Shadow Nation, I thank you for your generosity on behalf of those you have helped. Also, Ku Churin is one of the bravest and most upright heroes I've ever met, and he has been a great help to Shirou and me. If he hadn't stepped up at the last minute, we wouldn't have made it to the end. I am very grateful to you for cultivating such a wonderful disciple. "The girl's courtesy is very thoughtful.

"It's nothing, my apprentice is a battle maniac, and for him, the kind of death after fighting to his heart's content can be regarded as satisfying." Skaha seemed to sigh slightly.

…………

"So let's get back to business, you must have not relaxed in a while when you came to the Land of Shadows." Recovering for a moment, Skaha looked up at everyone again, "Please enjoy the food first, and then I'll arrange a room for you to rest." ”

As soon as we finished speaking, a plate of food appeared on the table in front of us.

It is worth mentioning that the food that appears in front of everyone is different. For example, my food is a steaming bowl of udon noodles, and the girl has fruit salad and mashed potatoes in front of me.

…………

"Artoria, you've been eating this before?" I was surprised.

Udon noodles are the ones I eat most often when I was a child, so I judge that the food that appears in front of everyone is the most accustomed to eating on a daily basis.

"Hmm...... Because they couldn't bear to kill horses for meat, the most food produced in Britain was potatoes...... That's why I often eat it with fruit like this......" The girl lowered her head and said with some embarrassment.

“……”

I finally understood why the girl looked so thin on the outside, and gave such a high opinion to the food I cooked.

Have you always lived on potatoes and fruits!!

…………

"That'...... That, but I still gather around with the knights to cut meat and eat it during the march, and now that Shirou cooks for me, I haven't eaten like this for a long time......" Maybe seeing that there was something wrong with my expression, the girl hurriedly argued.

"Artoria, let's exchange food." With that, I pushed the udon noodles in front of the girl and took the mashed potatoes and fruit salad in front of her.

"Hey, is that really good? My Food ...... Shirou can't get used to it......" The girl hesitated.

"Why, this is the king's standard diet, and it's my honor to eat it." Looking at the cute appearance of the girl, I suddenly had a heart to tease.

"Hmph, then you just have to eat. You have to eat it all, and you can't waste it at all! The girl blushed and said with some embarrassment.

…………

And just like that, we exchanged food and started eating.

Soon, however, new problems arose.

Although the maiden can use chopsticks to eat white rice and vegetables, it is basically the knowledge that she has given to her in the Holy Grail in this life. Now that the Holy Grail War is over, the only way to use chopsticks is to rely on the feeling in memory. But Rao was so, and it took a lot of effort to re-teach the girl to eat with chopsticks when I was at Camelot.

In swordsmanship, the girl is undoubtedly a genius-level existence, but for some reason chopsticks are so difficult to teach. So far, she has only managed to barely hold on to the food and not fall off.

So, in the face of the slippery udon, the girl quickly fell into a bitter battle.

…………

"Yes...... Damn, it's so cunning, it actually fell from the side...... Adjust your posture and do it again! ”

"How...... How can it be ...... from the middle Stop, stop! ”

"Uh......h It's already the eleventh defeat, and it's really an unexpectedly strong enemy. But as a knight, you must not give up easily! ”

…………

Listening to the broken thoughts of the girl next to me, I felt very funny.

"Alright, leave it to me. If you go on like this, the noodles will be cold. Come, open your mouth—"

I took the chopsticks from the girl's hand, picked up the noodles in the bowl, and motioned for her to open her mouth.

"Uh......h It's really humiliating. When I go back, please do special training for me, and I will definitely practice how to use chopsticks! ”

With her fists clenched in front of her chest and her eyes flashing with determination to win, the girl obediently lowered her head and opened her mouth to suck the noodles in.

…………

At the entrance of the udon noodles, the girl's eyes widened instantly.

"How is Artoria, is it delicious?" I asked with a smile.

"Shirou, this ...... No, when you go back, you must add the udon recipe to Camelot's treasure house for the highest level of protection, and no one will be allowed to steal it! The girl's eyes suddenly became extremely serious.

"It's just the most common udon. There are many better ways to do this. I can make it for you as long as you want. I stroked the delicate blonde hair on the top of the girl's head with some helplessness.

"It's a deal! This is the Avalon of food, the ideal place at your fingertips! The girl was so excited that her eyes were full of little stars.
