Chapter 156: An Alliance with My King
"The rain has stopped."
Holding the umbrella that was closed again, Yeol looked at Fangchuan beside him. Chisato and Artoria said elegantly, "Well, excuse me." β
"I'm glad to be able to form an alliance with Yoshikawa-san and Artoria, even though we still have to be rivals in the end, so let's work together until then..."
"After that, I will bring Chino and nursery rhymes to find Yoshikawa-san and Artoria as agreed, goodbye." Rye waved his hand and walked down the street.
This is Yoshikawa-san's home, and it is some distance from Chino's home, and it takes nearly half an hour to walk.
"Goodbye, Lie-sama." Fang Chuan's classmates said goodbye with some regrets, but they actually wanted to invite Lord Lie to come in and sit down.
Artoria was very serious from beginning to end, and when she saw Lie's figure disappear around the corner, she regained her more relaxed expression when she got along with the Master.
βSaberβ¦ No, Rider, isn't it okay to deceive Lord Lie like this? Fang Chuan opened the door with a bitter face, and felt very sorry for Lord Lie because of some deception.
At the beginning, Yoshikawa-san realized that Lie-sama had a key problem wrong, and wanted to correct it but was stopped by his servant Artoria.
"Deception?" Artoria corrected: "It's just that there's no 'correcting the error.'" β
The stupid hair on the top of the head is moving, and if the ship's girl named 'stupid hair' sees it, she will definitely be excited to meet the 'same kind' girl.
"Just as in order not to be known by the enemy, the sword in his hand was hidden... I don't know why the other party recognized my real name, but I made a mistake in my judgment of rank. β
Artoria walked into the hallway, expertly took off her shoes, and walked into the living room.
"Indeed, in the past Holy Grail Wars, most of them were summoned as Saber... However, this time there was an accident. Artoria took out the black long sword in her hand and said lightly, "This time, I was summoned as a Rider." β
After Fang Chuan entered the house, he quickly ran towards the kitchen to see what else could be used as a supper in the refrigerator.
Artoria continued, "Due to the lack of complete memories of the Holy Grail Wars, it is not clear what went wrong... However, there must be something wrong with this Holy Grail War! β
My king said very accurately: "Each of the Heroic Spirits has its own rank, but there should be no restraint between the ranks... It should have been like this. β
"However, the nun who is the overseer of the Holy Grail War tells us that she has rank restraint, and there are several other strange things, such as the return of the spirit base."
While Artoria was explaining, Yoshikawa-san had already taken out the cake from the refrigerator with a happy face and carefully brought it out.
"According to him, the lord who is going to ally with us is Chino..."
"Chino. Luckily, my classmates usually look inconspicuous, but they just don't shine brightly. "Fangchuan is finishing, before Lord Lie mentions Chino. Fortunately, Fang Chuan was very surprised.
ββ¦ Ahem, the lord who is going to ally with us is Chino. Fortunately, her servant is the Caster nursery rhyme. β
"In terms of restraint, the magic rank is restrained by the riding rank... Well, in this Holy Grail War, the easiest group for us to deal with is their group. β
"At the same time, the skill level restrains the killing rank, and the killing step restrains the riding rank."
"It would be extremely beneficial for us to join forces with Caster to eliminate the Assassin while we were allies."
"To sum up, we have a very big advantage in forming an alliance with the other party without revealing our true rank, so we can consider... In the end, it was the Lord who made the decision. β
"It's so cool~!" After taking a bite of the spoon, Fang Chuan's whole body trembled... Well, it's winter, and it's still a cake taken out of the refrigerator, so it's naturally cold.
ββ¦β
"Well, Rider is coming to eat too...", pushing the plate forward, Yoshikawa smiled, and his long-standing habit made Yoshikawa shut up about what Artoria said.
ββ¦ Master. "Seeing the Lord like this, Artoria is very distressed... No, in fact, when I was first summoned, it was already very nerve-wracking.
ββ¦ I want to give up the summoning in the middle of the summoning, but I guess this hasn't happened before..."
"Hee-hee~" (hammer head, tongue sticking, winking, selling cuteness, trying to pass the level)
Seeing the lord Yoshikawa sitting across from her with a smile on her face and squinting her eyes, Artoria sighed, said 'thank you', and began to enjoy the cake.
Suddenly summoning the Heroic Spirit, going into the Holy Grail War or something, although I was curious at first and did it, but in the middle of the process, I wanted to give up the summoning because of 'this is really weird', right?
As for the summoned servants, some accidents are common, right?
ββ¦β
No, it's not usual at all (I didn't hold back, I still complained)
ββ¦β
"Sorry, Rider." Yoshikawa-san lowered his head and said apologetically, "Because I suddenly wanted to give up during the summoning, Rider temporarily lost the sled 'Amrley II' and the gift bag full of various gifts. β
(chew~)
"It's okay." Quickly and gracefully destroying half of the cake and pushing the remaining half back to the Master, the King didn't seem to be angry.
"Without the sled and the gift bag, you basically don't have the characteristics of a Rider, and it's no different from when you were a Saber."
ββ¦β
My king blinked and stared at the cake intently, obviously not satisfied just now.
"Speaking of which, it turns out that Rider's real name is Artoria..."Fang Chuan said suspiciously, "I didn't want to reveal my real name before, so I kept calling Rider, but if I formed an alliance with Lord Lie..."
"I always feel like I'm going to accidentally say something." Yoshikawa-san smiled brightly, is this something to be proud of?
"It's a possibility." My king pondered this possibility very seriously, and then said to the master, "Since the other party already knows my real name, there is no need to hide it. β
"In this Holy Grail War, call me ... Santa Claus will do. (A thoughtful expression.)
ββ¦ No, that's weirder, isn't it? Fang Chuan waved his hand, looked at the swaying dumb hair of my king, and cautiously tentatively said, "Why don't you call Rider 'Dumb Hair King'?" It feels very apt, and the silly hair on the top of Rider's head is really powerful. β
ββ¦β
"No, that's really weird." My king's cheeks twitched, and then he said it in Fangchuan's voice.
ββ¦β
What an interesting pair of masters and servants... And both have a good appetite.
β¦
Chino's home.
"You're back, Lord Lie."
"Well, I'm back." Handing the umbrella to come out of the house, greet his own nursery rhyme, and tiptoe towards the back room.
There is still a period of time before dawn, and Lie plans to take a bath and rest for a while, then get up and make breakfast, and finally tell Chino and Zero about the encounter with my king.
"Did you encounter something good?" Nursery rhyme noticed that Lie was in a good mood (in fact, it was a foolish smile -_β!) He asked curiously.
"Well, I met a great thing~!" Lie is in a really good mood, I didn't expect to meet my king in this Holy Grail War and form an ally~!
"Well, since the nursery rhyme is awake, let's tell the nursery rhyme first."
ββ¦β
While preparing for the bath, Lie told the nursery rhyme about the encounter with my king after going out tonight... Of course, Lie Luo went to his own excitement when he met my king and directly proposed an alliance, but he just said that he thought it would be good to be able to form an alliance at that time.
ββ¦β
After some explanation, Tong Yu probably understood this, but his expression was not as happy as Lie.
"Lord Lie..."The nursery rhyme lowered her head, as if she wanted to say something.
"What's wrong? Nursery rhyme. Lie picked up the basket, which contained bath towels and other items, and turned his head to look at the nursery rhyme.
"No, it's nothing, Lord Lie is very tired after a night of traveling. Let's take a bath. Nursery rhyme shook her head and said so.
"Well, I'm in, nursery rhyme." Lie said this, and entered the bathroom in a good mood.
Seeing Lord Lie close the door, Tong Yao's face was a little worried, and he naturally said to himself: "Lord Lie... Is that really okay? β
ββ¦β
The sound of "bang" water sounded, and Lie first turned on the shower.
Because he was in a very good mood, Lie even hummed a little song, but his voice gradually became smaller... Like, what's wrong?
Thinking back to what happened when he met them just now, Lie always felt that something was not right... However, if the other party is my king, it's fine, right?
Moreover, the lord of my king is a student of Fangwen Academy... Lie has been in Fangwen College for half a year and found that the students here have one thing in common, that is, they are all innocent and kind.
"It's all a group of good boys~" Lie cleaned his body, and the faces of everyone in Fangwen Academy flashed in his mind.
It seems like I haven't seen you for a long time since the holiday... Now I'm busy with the Holy Grail War, so it's inconvenient to meet with you.
ββ¦β
"Well, that's okay." After cleaning, he turned off the shower and sat down in the bath.
Warm hot water surrounds you, and you are filled with aromatic bath salts, and you can relax instantly. When it's not like this, I can't help but want to sleep for a while.
ββ¦β
"Huhu~"
No, it's not thinking, it's already asleepβ_β!
β¦
"Tick~"
A drop of water fell from the ceiling, and it sounded very crisply in the extremely quiet space, and Lie woke up.
With the sound of "banging" water, Lie sat up straight and stretched his arms at the same time.
"It's so comfortable~" Lie stood up again full of energy, quickly wiped off the water stains, got dressed and walked out.
"It's still an hour or two before dawn..."Lie looked at the clock in the living room and slowly walked towards Chino's bedroom.
Sure enough, everyone was still asleep, and looking at their expressions, they must have had sweet dreams. The nursery rhyme is lying on her bed, even if she is not asleep, just staying here, she is very happy.
"It's still early, let's cook later." Thinking so, Lie didn't disturb everyone's good dreams, closed the door and returned to the living room.
Choosing a comfortable position to sit on the sofa, Lie took out his mobile phone from his pocket and flipped through the pages to see if there was any new news.
ββ¦β
Huh? Well, a band that quickly became popular?
"I really made my debut." Lie looked at the information above, it was about Arisu. Fumei and their affairs... The first performance after his debut caused an unimaginable sensation.
It's not just a habitat. Fumei's singing, the only girl in the band that Lie has never seen is also shining brightly, and it has gained a large number of fans in one night.
"Her name isβ" Just as Yeol was about to turn the page to read the girl's personal information, he noticed a noise behind her.
"Good morning, Master Lie." The maids, Konan, Konishi, and Zero, had gotten up at some point and stood side by side behind Lie.
"Good morning." Lie smiled in response, retracting his phone and standing up from the couch.
Noticing that they hadn't sorted it out yet, Lie smiled and said, "This morning, let me make breakfast for everyone, it's worth looking forward to." β
"Lord Lie... Make breakfast? Xiao Nan and Xiao Xi were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and then nodded.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it, Lie-sama... The second lady will definitely be very happy. β
"Hehe, everyone will know later... Zero, don't come to help this time, it's up to me to do it. β
"Yes, Master." Zero squinted his eyes, and after hearing that Lie was going to cook himself, he was also very much looking forward to it... Of course, it's certainly not expecting the taste β _β!
β¦
Kitchen.
A ray of sunlight shines into the kitchen, and the morning light lights up the sky, and the air is exceptionally fresh after a rainy night.
Ryu turned off the flames, poured the soup from the pot onto the plate, and the last dish was done.
ββ¦ The ingredients are so abundant..."
Looking at the dozen or so plates of dishes that he had worked so hard to make, Lie muttered to himself: "Because I saw too many ingredients, I couldn't help but make several dishes... Is it too much for breakfast? β
"Ding Dong~", Lie turned around, and the bread was baked... So, let's start eating~!
β¦
As for Lie's cooking, it has gone through several stages... When I first came to the world of the ship girl, I can only say that it was okay, and I was at the level where I wouldn't be poisoned.
Later, I was taught (taken care of) a lot by Mamiya and Zero, and my cooking skills improved a little bit... It's not like theirs, but it's okay to be delicious in general.
Of course, these zeros are known, so I am relieved to let the Master make breakfast. Xiao Nan and Xiao Xi came to secretly watch Lord Lie make breakfast after dealing with the sundries in the morning... Eh, the position has been taken.
ββ¦β
Leaning on the cabinet, Qianno looked intently at Lie who was making breakfast, and his eyes were full of little stars.
"It's, it'sβ" Covering his lips lightly, he could see such a scene early in the morning, the Holy Grail War was really a good civilization.
"Second Miss?" Xiao Nan and Xiao Nishi came behind Chino and reminded the second lady: "Lord Lie has already made breakfast, you can eat." β
"Huh? Well~! β
Looking at the lie who came out after making breakfast and resting for a while, Chino bravely greeted him.
"Gui'an, Lord Lie." (Sweet smiling face.)
"Gui'an, Chino." (Sunny handsome face.)
