“……”

“……”

In front of the door, the postman and the red-haired man stared at each other wordlessly.

“…… Excuse me, is this the home of the Mackaki?" Finally, the postman couldn't help but speak up.

"Well, that's indeed the name of the owner."

“…… So, Iskandar, the conqueror, my lord—who is it?"

"That's me."

“…… Ahh Ahaha...... Ah, so please sign here. ”

"Signed? Okay - okay, signed. ”

"Thank you very much. Hit - disturbed. ”

"Hmm. It's nothing. ”

In Kuran, which has become accustomed to living like his own home. In the second-story bedroom of the Mackaki home, Weber. Velvet woke up from his sleep.

The sun was already high outside. Webb, as usual on his day off, lay lazily in bed and refused to get up. I guess it won't be painful to lie down like this, right?

Everything that has happened so far. It's like a dream. The terrible death fight and destruction......

But the spell was still engraved on the back of his left hand, reminding Webb that it was not a dream.

As the Master of Rider, Webb experienced the fierce battle of the five Servants last night, which is a complete reality.

Just last night, the boy stepped into the battlefield for the first time. For the first time, he traveled between life and death.

Fear, trembling. Never felt strong.

But even so, what remains in my heart now is by no means feelings such as fear. What was surging in his heart now was a rush of joy and excitement.

Webb didn't do anything last night. All actions were dictatorial to Iskandar, who, as Master, simply stood next to his Servant and watched what happened. And Shang fainted at the height of the battle, and he didn't even see the final result.

For Webb, though, it's still a battle of great significance. What he gained in that battle and the value he gained in that battle is probably something that only he can understand.

I'm afraid that what the Emperor said to the enemy on that battlefield will not be remembered by the Masters and Servrants of that time. But there was one sentence that remained in Webb's heart.

"-The coward who doesn't even dare to show up is not worthy of being my opponent at all-"

These are the words of the Emperor insulting Director Ken. For that Webber hated and feared Tronrod. Elumeroi, whom the Emperor mocked as a coward.

However, the bravery that the Emperor was proud of was, in Weber's view, just a reckless foolishness. If he had arranged the tactics, he would have brought the Servant head-to-head with the enemy, while himself, as the Master, would have hid himself and observed the progress of the battle. In other words, using the same strategy as Kenays is the right tactic.

"-The man who can be worthy of being my master must be a brave man who can gallop with me on the battlefield!"

Webber was certainly not the kind of person who could rush into enemy line with Rider, and he was hiding by the bridge at the time, and he was so scared that he wanted to run away before boarding the Emperor's chariot. But this move was mistaken for courage.

However, there is no need to pursue it at this time.

No matter what the reasons were at that time, Weber now clearly remembered in his heart that the palm of the emperor on his shoulder at that time was so generous and powerful.

"It's like my master." The Emperor at that time did say such things to himself.

and the famous lecturer who was called a genius, and the one who once Webb didn't even have the same feet as Rod . Compared to Elumeroy, he seemed so great at that time.

His worth has finally been recognized—and if you think about it, this is the first time anyone has acknowledged his abilities.

Whether it is praise or slander, it is just a meaningless thing. But for a teenager who has never been praised by anyone, it is a very happy thing to be praised by others.

Therefore, now Weber's heart is already happy. Although he also wanted to control his excitement, he couldn't control it anyway.

Although his own Servant does not treat himself like a Master, and often even goes straight to Weber's name - it is good that the Servant himself is not inferior to himself. I should be grateful to him now, because after all, this is the first person to recognize his own worth.

“……”

Tortured by his own complicated thoughts, Webb put his head under the covers. From today onwards, what kind of attitude should I use to face my giant Servant......

It was at this time that Webb suddenly noticed that the snoring that usually rang in his ears had disappeared this morning.

Webb poked his head out of the bed, only to find that Rider, who was supposed to be sleeping in bed, was gone. And the man who hates spiritualization very much will naturally not dismantle the physical state and spiritualize for no reason. Besides, even if he was spiritualized, as his servant, it was impossible for Weber not to feel any breath. Now there's only one possibility, and that's that Rider isn't in the house.

Webb began to think calmly for a moment. I overslept this morning. So even if the Emperor gets up earlier than himself, there is nothing surprising. However, the problem now is that the Emperor who rose first is not in this room. In other words, the Emperor went somewhere else without Weber's consent.

From the stairs of the hallway came the sound of footsteps going upstairs.

Weber, who was accustomed to hearing such heavy footsteps, knew that it was the emperor who had come up, and felt a little relieved, but Webber, who soon realized the meaning of the heavy footsteps, immediately turned pale.

"Yo, you're up, little ghost."

The Emperor's massive body appeared in front of the door with the words. And the heavy armor that wore on him seemed to Weber, who was already accustomed to strange things, a foreign object beyond imagination. If this intense anomaly was to be seen by the Markakies, the hypnotism they had cast on them would probably be ineffective at once.

So. As for the Great Emperor, who didn't want to be spiritualized, he finally managed to convince him to stay on the second floor and not move around at will—until this morning, of course.

“…… You...... Just going downstairs in this suit?"

"Don't be afraid. The old couple of the family went out early in the morning. So it was just the two of us at home, and I went downstairs to pick up the parcel. ”

It seemed that the Emperor also knew to try not to be bumped into by the Markaigi couple, and Weber, who was a little relieved, immediately heard something wrong from the Emperor's words, so he looked at the Emperor more nervously.

In the hands of the big man, he held a small package with a courier label attached.

“…… And you went to the hallway in this costume?"

"I can't help it. You can't send the messenger who sent him away without any consolation, right?"

It's too late.

But fortunately, it was not seen by anyone nearby, but only by a postman who came to deliver the package by chance. But even then, the news will get out of the postman's mouth, saying that there is a samurai in Greek armor or something. Now he can only pray that others will dismiss his words as a prank.

"I said, it's not a parcel sent to you, so I don't need you to go to comfort me, do you?"

"Oh no. It's a parcel for me. ”

“…… What?"

As if he was showing off, the emperor showed Weber the postage list - "Fuyuki City, Fukayama Town, Nakaetsu 2.2.8 Makaiki Mansion Conquest King Iskandar", this content was like a joke and was generously written on the mailing list. ”

"What's going on? You explain it to me Rider. ”

"I just tried the mail order thing. In the Monthly. There are a lot of products on the advertising board of "Soldiers of the World" that I like. ”

"What? Mail order?"

Speaking of which, Weber finally understood why the Emperor asked for an extra postcard when he asked him to buy military magazines and videos the other day. At that time, Weber had no idea what the Emperor was going to do with the postcards, no, it should be said that Weber did not think about it.

"I mean, where the hell did you learn mail order?"

Even if the Heroic Spirit could gain knowledge through the Holy Grail, it wouldn't even know about mail order, and Webb couldn't believe it was all true.

"Huh? Isn't this kind of trivial thing written very clearly in the back of magazines and videos? Just take a little look at it and you'll understand. ”

"When exactly did you see the ad...... Ah, where did you get the money for your mail order?"

"Don't be afraid, I've already run out of money."

The Emperor smiled heartily as he threw his wallet back to Webber, apparently taking it out without permission while Webber was sleeping.

For this man who is so naïve that he even wants to buy a stealth bomber. No one knows what kind of high-priced goods will be bought this time. Webb picked up his wallet in a panic and checked the amount of money as if he were about to cry.

It was found after examination. The number of 10,000 yuan in it does not seem to have changed, except that a few tickets of several thousand yuan are missing. Webb let out a long sigh of relief. Weber, who collapsed because of the sudden relaxation of his heart, did not even have the strength to get angry at the emperor who had taken his wallet without permission.

Is this young man who can't see his waste wood at all lucky or unlucky?

And the Emperor was beside Weber, humming a little tune in his nose while happily opening the packet.

"Wow!"

When he opened the packet, he suddenly screamed happily, like a child.

·‘ Not bad! I really like it. The real thing looks better than the photos. ”

“…… T-shirts?"

What the Emperor took out of the parcel was an XL model half-sleeved T-shirt that was a bargain no matter how you looked at it. The world map printed on the chest has a striking line on it: LOG0 "Admiral's Grand Strategy IV.". It looks like a game-related product that was featured with a magazine cover feature.

"That's good. When I saw Saber last night, I also had a sense of inspiration. If I walk down the street in a modern style, you won't have any opinion, right? Anyway, that little girl named Mordred is really bold in dressing up. ”

His own Heroic Spirit was very disgusted with Spirits - Weber had a headache for his penchant for materialization, but at least the Emperor didn't want to wander outside. Well, Webber now almost wanted to curse the Lord's Mordred who had caused the Emperor's thoughts, along with her master, Alice Phil.

The Emperor, on the other hand, quickly tried on his newly bought clothes and put on various poses to his heart's content.

"Wowhaha! I want this effect of having the world on my chest. Well! Really in a good mood!"

"-Ahh

What if you just continue to sleep with your head covered? If this is the case, he will definitely clear the T-shirt-wearing excited emperor from his vision and escape into a gentle sleep. That's the best Webb can think of at the moment. When he wakes up again, the world will be a better place, right?

However, such a method, which was full of temptations for Weber, had to be abandoned due to the Emperor's next actions.

“…… Hey Rider, wait, I said. Wait!"

Seeing the Emperor swaggering out of the house, Weber hurriedly stopped him.

"Where are you going?"

"Then you need to ask? Go to the streets. I'm going to show the grass people the new majesty of the King of Conquest. ”

It's unusual to go out in just a T-shirt in the cold November wind, but the bigger problem is that there is nothing but a T-shirt on the Emperor's sturdy body now.

"At least put your pants on before you go out!"

"Huh? That stumbling thing? When you say that, I just found out that everybody in the country is wearing that. ”

The brown giant, who was not even wearing pants, seemed to be a little confused, put his fist on his forehead, and asked Webb with a serious expression.

"Is that a must-wear?"

"That's essential."

Although he hadn't even washed his face, Webb's sleepiness had disappeared without a trace.

For such a muscular idiot like a gorilla, who has no scruples, no common sense, and no informality, Webber is angry at himself at the thought of how many times he has accommodated.

"I'll tell you first, you don't want me to buy you king-size pants for you on the streets. I'm definitely not going. ”

"What do you say?"

The Emperor stared at Weber with exaggerated eyes. But today Webber would not budge—he had already made up his mind with an iron will.

"Boy, you're saying you're going against my hegemony?"

"Tyrant and your pants, these are two things that have nothing to do with each other at all! Before you go out and play, at least kill one enemy Servant and show me!"

"Huh? You're such an anxious guy. Isn't it always possible to fight the Servant? ”

"Then do it now! At least one first! In that case, I'll buy you pants or whatever. ”

The Emperor suddenly fell silent in a solemn manner.

“…… I see, military order? That means that as long as I bring you the enemy's head, you'll buy me pants. Is that so?"

For the emperor who made unexpectedly quick concessions, Weber felt very powerless.

“…… Do you really want to go out in this T-shirt that much?"

"Hasn't that Knight King always been like this? How could I, as the king of conquest, fall behind her—and I liked the style of the dress anyway. This is very befitting of the outfit of the Overlord. ”

Is it a vulgar joke played by historians of the past that such tasteless and idiotic fellows have been recited from generation to generation as heroes? Webb's mind couldn't help but travel back in time to the distant past.

At this time, knock! A very loud explosion reached Webb's ears.

No, not sound, to be precise, but an auditory stimulus that strikes directly into Weber's keen nerves as a magician – in other words, the impulses of magic.

"What's that?...... In the eastern direction. ”

Iskander, as a Servant, could also clearly feel the stimulation of the sound just now.

Looking out of the open window, a layer of clouds could be seen above the clear sky. Although it looks similar to the smoke produced by the explosion of fireworks, judging by the flickering light, it is not the smoke produced by ordinary fireworks.

Although the smoke was obvious to Webb, it was caused by magic, so no one but the magician could see it. The sound just now is the same, but it sounds like an ordinary firecracker to ordinary people.

"That location...... It's the location of the Fuyuki Church, right?"

Webb, as one of the masters of the Holy Grail War, still had some basic knowledge, so he immediately discovered what this signal meant.

The Templar Church, as the battle overseer, will release such notification fireworks whenever it is necessary to inform the Masters of a major decision. There is no better way to inform the Masters of their whereabouts than this.

"Is it something that has something to do with us?"

As for the Emperor's question, Weber was a little unsure of how to answer it. Indeed, it's none of his business.

"It can't be said that it doesn't matter at all. How do you say it......"

In fact, Weber did not declare his status as Master to the Church of Fuyuki, which was the overseer.

However, as long as you stand on the land of Fuyuki City with Servant, you can naturally establish yourself as a Master. So there is no need to look at the face of the church—Weber judged. After all, he used dishonorable means to obtain the holy relics. If you do something superfluous now, you may end yourself up in a difficult situation.

However, it would not be safe to ignore the convening of the Fuyuki Church just like that. What kind of emergency does the church as the overseer call a meeting attended by all the masters?...... Generally speaking, there are only rule changes or additional conditions, etc. And maybe there will be some new information to come.

This information may be the key to determining the outcome of future battles. As things stand, it would be useful to listen to the overseer's advice. And even if it's a rule that restricts itself, it's good to ignore it when the time comes.

"Rider, more on the pants later. Now I have to prepare something else. ”

"What are you afraid of, it's a rare day to walk in good weather."

Throw the disappointed Emperor aside. Webb began to prepare.
