Chapter 021 Elegant, Beautiful, But Edible
The light screen reappeared, showing some of the girl's information:
Name: Artoria Pendragon
Alias: King Arthur, King Knight, King Silly, etc
Synopsis: King Arthur, a legendary hero from Britain from the world of the Moon, feels remorse for blaming himself for the demise of Britain.
"If we go back in time and elect a new king, will Britain not perish?" With this in mind, Artoria made a pact with the World Consciousness: to allow King Arthur to obtain the Holy Grail while he was alive and use it, and if she could fulfill her wish, she would become a Heroic Spirit after her death.
However, during the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, the Imperial Lord Kiritsugu Enomiya ordered Artoria to destroy the tainted Holy Grail with a spell, and Artoria was repatriated to the battlefield of Kamran.
Within a few seconds, a pop-up window suddenly appeared:
[If the energy is less than 3%, it will be powered off after 30 seconds, please recharge it in time.] 】
Even 30 seconds of death, this is really my broken phone!
Does summoning a character directly consume 90% of the energy? No wonder you have to be over 90% every time to start summoning!
But now Zhang Da can't take care of these things for the time being, in the face of Artoria's inquiry, he actually doesn't know how to answer, it must not be okay to lie to her, and I don't know if she has signed any contract like Tom.
Thinking about Artoria's character, let's be honest, even if she is not facing the master, she will not embarrass ordinary people casually, right?
Zhang Da also hesitated for a moment and finally said: "It is true that I summoned you here, but there is no Holy Grail War here, and I don't have a spell, I shouldn't be considered a master, right?" ”
Artoria noticed the light screen in front of Zhang Daya just now, but because she couldn't read the handwriting on it from the opposite side, she thought that it should be the power that brought her to this world, the power of the contract she signed?
"Is it true that I didn't feel the constraints of a similar spell, a relatively loose contract?"
Artoria felt her own state, descending as an ontological form, or rather, the whole person was transferred from the original world, and the original contract with the world was completely unfelt at this time, there was nothing that could force her, and all actions could follow her own will......
"As agreed, I will be your bodyguard for the next period of time, and provide you with some help in any way I can—as Artoria."
As she said this, she had a smile on her face, and her green eyes also looked at Zhang Da.
Bodyguard? Zhang Da couldn't read any information from her expression, after all, he was not a master of psychology, so he had to introduce himself first: "My name is Zhang Daye, well, just call me Da." ”
Such a response seemed a bit rotten, he thought, and when he saw Artoria nodding his head to indicate that he remembered, he immediately turned back: "Tom, come here, we have a new ...... Companions! ”
Tom waved at Artoria as a greeting, it didn't matter who the master summoned, as long as he didn't summon another cat, of course, if it was a cat, it had to be a beautiful little she-cat.
When Artoria saw Tom, she tilted her head and wondered, "Warcraft? ”
Zhang Da also said casually: "No, no, no, Tom, like you, was summoned by me from other worlds, not a magical beast, just an ordinary domestic cat." ”
Tom clasped his hands in his arms and nodded approvingly, yes, we're just an ordinary house cat.
Although he is proficient in many Chinese, good at various ball games, knows a variety of musical instruments, can conduct and sing tenors, and has worked as a cowboy, sailor, guard and other professions, he really considers himself an ordinary house cat.
Artoria looked at Tom and then at Zhang Daye, the dull hair on her head moved, and there was a tendency to bend into a question mark, and questioned: "Ordinary? ”
"Uh...... It's not that ordinary, is it......"
……
The three of them gathered around a wine table, and Artoria had already put away her armor and long sword, leaving only the long blue dress, which was more like a dress, and the whole person's temperament was more inclined to that of a beautiful aristocratic lady.
Eight dishes and one soup were neatly laid out on the table—most of them made by Tom.
Originally, Zhang Da also planned to cook by himself, cooking this kind of thing, as long as he followed the recipe step by step, it was nothing more than that the knife skills were not very good, and he didn't understand words such as a little salt and an appropriate amount of oil, and there were also some problems with the control of the heat.
At least the food can be eaten, and if the seasoning ratio is not too outrageous, the taste is okay, and it is generally the average level of home-cooked food.
However, after the first dish came out of the pot, Tom tried the taste, and then pushed Zhang Daye away with a disgusted face, and he didn't know where to find a small apron to tie it, patted his chest and motioned for him to make it.
Zhang Da had only seen Tom make sashimi, and he really didn't know much about his skills in making cooked food, but he had to let him try it when he saw him so confident.
Tom scans through the recipes at a glance, selects the ingredients accurately, and then picks up the kitchen knife and shreds or dices all kinds of vegetables and meats, so neatly that they are almost as if they were measured with vernier calipers.
When he collected the knife, he even pulled a knife flower.
Next, light the fire, pour the oil, put the ingredients, stir-fry, sprinkle the seasoning, remove the pot and put it on the plate, all in one go.
After tasting under Tom's confident expression, Zhang Da also realized that the adjectives such as smooth and tender, fat but not greasy in the original recipe were not deceiving people at all.
If there is really any sentence that is false, it is only the sentence "picture is for reference only", and Tom made it exactly like the picture!
Zhang Da finally had to pat Tom on the shoulder and said that our kitchen will be handed over to you in the future, and then take on the responsibility of serving the plates.
If there's anything Tom is not good at, it's that he is not very skilled in chopsticks, and in Goodman's house, Tom is very smart, but he still eats directly in his own rice bowl.
After having his own home, Tom sat on a chair and ate with utensils like a person, which also gave Zhang Da a chance to perform and help Tom clip what he wanted to eat, but with Tom's learning ability, it is estimated that he will soon master it.
Artoria didn't have any trouble with this at all, and she was very skilled with a pair of chopsticks.
Her movements are swift and elegant, and she is obviously fed into her mouth with a steady stream of food, but her cheeks never bulge exaggeratedly, and she will show an expression of enjoyment after catching Tom's cooking, and she will not dislike Zhang Daye's mediocre works.
Before drinking the soup, I wipe my mouth with a napkin so that the food residue does not stick to the rim of the bowl, and I do not make a sound when I put the dishes down.
In contrast, Zhang Daye's appearance is obviously just a very ordinary eating, but at this time, it can only be described with two words.
After a full meal, Zhang Da also asked about the contract: "Tom put forward his own conditions before accepting the summons - although that is too generous for me, what about you, Artoria?" Is there anything I can help with? ”
