Chapter 136: Saber the Pathetic Fool
Chapter 136: Saber the Pathetic Fool
With Lancelot being summoned into the world, the seven servants have gathered and the Fourth Holy Grail War has officially begun.
Late that night, the Tohsaka family welcomed an uninvited guest who was not very careful.
"Hmm? The guests have finally arrived. Tristan, go take care of it."
In the room, Xue was reading the official legend of King Arthur, and the breath of the Servant suddenly appeared in her perception.
"clear."
After receiving the order, Tristan transformed into a spirit and disappeared on the spot.
After a while, she returned to the room.
"My king, it has been resolved."
"It's Assassin, right?" Closing the book in his hand, his ice-blue pupils in Snow Morgan's state looked a little strange in the dim candlelight.
"Eh? Indeed, my king, how did you know that?"
Hearing this, Tristan was a little confused.
"Let's call it a vision of the future. Oh, and by the way, the guy you dealt with, Tristan, was just a clone. His real name is Hassan the Hundred Faces."
"I see. I was wondering why he was so weak."
Tristan was already wondering why the enemy was so surprisingly weak, and Xue happened to help her solve her confusion.
"He's an assassin after all, and just a clone. It's getting late, Tristan, you should go get some rest. No one will be coming tonight."
"Yes."
Tristan left and Xue extinguished the candles.
……
the next day, early morning
Xue borrowed the kitchen of the Tohsaka family, ready to show off her cooking skills to her knights and break their perception of her cooking skills.
As we all know, there was no gourmet food in ancient Britain and even in modern Britain.
What? You mean British Michelin? Isn't that for French cuisine?
For breakfast this morning, Xue chose a more Western-style breakfast of sausages, fried eggs, and bread.
"Eh? Miss Tennoji, are you making breakfast?"
Seeing the snow in the kitchen, Aoi Tousaka, who was planning to prepare breakfast for everyone, couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Good morning, Mrs. Tousaka Aoi, as you can see."
"Do you need my help?" Looking at Xue's methodical appearance and the aroma wafting from the plate, Toosaka Aoi knew that her cooking skills must be much better than hers.
"No need, Madam. You usually take care of this family, taking care of Tokiomi, Sakura, Rin and the others. It must be very hard. Just treat today as a day off for yourself."
"Eh? But asking guests to prepare breakfast or something is really rude."
"It's okay, I'm used to it. After all, I have to take care of the three little girls at home."
After hearing what Xue said, Tohsaka Aoi didn't say anything else, but what about the three little girls?
"Huh? I'm talking about my three daughters."
Xue saw Tōsaka Aoi's confusion and explained.
"Eh? So you're already a mother?" Looking at Xue's unusually young appearance, Toosaka Aoi seemed to subconsciously forget her age in all senses.
"She's my adopted daughter. And don't forget, I'm a living Heroic Spirit. I'm actually much older than I look."
"Another good one, out of the pot."
Seeing another breakfast coming out of the pot, Toosaka Aoi quickly picked it up and volunteered to serve it to the table herself.
Naturally, Xue couldn't refuse this.
Soon, everyone woke up from their sleep and gathered in the restaurant, ready to enjoy a wonderful breakfast to start the new day.
After taking a light bite of the sausage, the hot juice and rich meaty aroma immediately burst out, which surprised everyone.
"Aoi, did you do this?"
Facing Tokiomi's question, Tōsaka Aoi shook her head.
"Today's breakfast was made by Miss Tennoji."
"Hey!" X2
After hearing this, Wei'er and the other two, Tohsaka, who had known about Xue's skills for a long time, were fine, but Tristan and Lancelot were quite surprised.
In their impression, their king could not cook at all, and when he tried for the first time, he almost blew up the kitchen in Camelot.
"I said I'm different than before, and that's also reflected in my cooking."
Looking at the two people's reactions, Xue was not surprised.
"It's delicious! If you, my king, had known how to cook, we wouldn't have to eat Gawain's mashed potatoes every day."
At this point, Tristan was so moved that she wanted to cry. She never wanted to see those bland mashed potatoes again in her life.
"Ditto, it seems that you, my king, have experienced a lot later." Lancelot agreed.
"Thanks for the compliment. Come on, Sakura, sausage~"
Sakura, who was standing beside her, bit off most of the sausage in one gulp, like a little hamster. This reminded Xue of Xilin when she was a child. She was so cute.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Looking at the friendly interaction between the master and the disciple, the Tohsaka couple smiled at each other.
……
Before I knew it, the delicious breakfast time was gone.
At this moment, Xue was talking to Tohsaka Tokiomi about the assassin last night.
"What? You said Assassin is still alive?"
Hearing this, Tokiomi was a little surprised. After all, he had been keeping an eye on his own mansion, and he knew very well that a servant had been killed.
"That's right. That guy last night was just a clone, a clone of Hassan the Hundred Faces."
Hearing Assassin's real name, Tōsaka Tokiomi subconsciously frowned.
"I see. Since it's the assassin known as the Hundred Faces, it's no surprise."
"Excuse me, but what are your plans, Lord Tennoji?"
In response to Tokiomi's question, Xue gave a playful smile.
"Of course, I'm conserving my energy until the other Servants and Masters can't help but take action. By the way, I'm very interested in Saber this time."
"Do you also know Saber's real name?" Tōsaka Tokiomi was a little surprised.
"Altria Pendragon, the canonical King Arthur."
"Then she and you!" Toosaka Tokiomi finally reacted. The King Arthur of the other world who was one with Morgan and the King Arthur of the local history, isn't this just two King Arthurs appearing in one Holy Grail War?
"Yes, she can be considered another me, a sadder me."
"Well, I can sense that the fun is about to begin."
……
Time passed, and before we knew it, night had fallen.
Xue, who was leaning on the sofa with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth.
"Tristan, Lancelot, and Ver."
Hearing the king's call, Tristan and Lancelot immediately transformed into spirits and moved, while Wei'er appeared in front of Xue through the power of "space".
"My king, what are your orders?"
"Someone lost their patience and took action. Let's go and take a look."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
"Things are finally getting interesting~"
The space changed, and the four of them appeared on the top of Fuyuki Bridge, watching King Saber and Brush Brother fighting not far below.
"Hmm? Is that the other you, my king? You don't look very good."
"It's really not that good. That guy is just a pathetic fool who participated in the Holy Grail War in order to change the history of Britain." Xue commented on King Ailanthus.
"Change history? She doesn't want to..." Hearing this, Lancelot and Tristan realized something.
"Yes, she wanted to change Britain's inevitable destruction, but unfortunately, as you all know, Fuyuki's Holy Grail has long been contaminated. Moreover, even if it hadn't been contaminated, the Holy Grail would not be able to fulfill her wish to change history."
"The power of restraint will not allow this to happen. If she succeeds, then this world will be greeted by the pruning of human principles, that is, deletion and destruction."
"Your Majesty, are the consequences so terrible?" After hearing this, Wei'er found it hard to imagine.
"This is what we call fate. After all, this is how the world system operates. Unless you possess power that transcends the entire world system, you will be defeated."
"Then Your Majesty, have you ever thought about restoring your country or changing history?" Wei'er looked at Xue beside her with a strange expression. After all, her queen was also a descendant of King Arthur.
"You ask me if I've ever thought about it? The answer is no. The past is the past. Even if I succeed in changing it, I don't know whether it will be for the better or for the worse."
"Besides, I thought I had fulfilled my duties as a king at that time. It was time to put down my burdens and sleep in peace. As for what happens next, I will leave it to those who come after me."
Wei'er nodded as if she understood, but she could tell that her queen did not have that kind of morbid obsession.
