Chapter 88 Reunion
Chapter 88 Reunion
"There won't be a next time, Archer."
Arthur's blue eyes turned cold.
"Oh~" The young man in the military cap stood up, his smile mocking, but his scarlet eyes held a cruel glint in them: "Are you lecturing me? Really?"
The conflict between the two Servants seems imminent; to be honest, if it weren't for their disguises, they would have already started fighting.
Lion Jie Li was already considering how to escape with the two girls beside him.
Finally, Eriri looked left and right, then suddenly pounced on her: "You're finally back, Saber!"
It has to be said that she has grown a lot during this time; before, she would have been at a loss.
This abruptly interrupted their standoff, and Arthur's expression softened: "I'm back, Eriri."
"Lord Saburo," Nakano Miku tugged at Oda Nobunaga's cloak and whispered, "Sit down and rest first."
Oda Nobunaga raised an eyebrow, showing some respect for his master, and sat down cross-legged again.
"Saber, are you coming too?" Oda Nobunaga asked Arthur with a deck of cards in hand, his expression malicious.
Arthur's gaze was calm as he sat down directly on the ground.
Only then did Shi Zijie notice a deck of cards scattered around the three of them, suggesting they had been playing for quite some time.
"Hey, this is the Holy Grail War, you guys are way too relaxed." Shishikage Kairi was a little speechless, but also thought it wasn't so bad. After all, no one could stand being on edge all the time.
"Uncle Shishi-kai, do you want to come along?" Eriri asked Shishi-kai in a very familiar way. There was no way around it; in Eriri's mind, Shishi-kai had become a kind uncle who appeared fierce on the surface but was actually gentle at heart.
Is that really the case?
"Lion, Lion Robber Uncle." Nakano Miku mimicked Eriri's address and took out two bento boxes from the corner. "Have you and Saber had dinner? Here are two bento boxes for you."
As Shiki Jie Li accepted the lunchbox, he felt a warmth spreading through his heart. After all, since his adopted daughter's death, no one had cared about his diet for a long time.
As a mercenary who lives a life of hardship, it's common for him to go hungry or not. It's not that he's poor; he simply doesn't care.
"Don't worry, Uncle Lion Robbery," Eriri teased, which also proved that she and Miku really had a good relationship. "This wasn't done by Miku, it was done by me. After all, Miku is good at this kind of thing..."
Miku's culinary talent is well-known. Even though she crammed during training, her skill level was still mediocre, not as good as Eriri who learned from scratch. Of course, the best is still Kaguya Shinomiya. As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya has an obsessive-compulsive tendency to do everything perfectly.
Nakano Miku blushed so much that she almost buried her head in her chest... Although Eriri's cooking skills surpassed Miku's, when it comes to figure, you lost miserably!
"Eri is really amazing." Nakano Miku sincerely praised.
Eriri blushed and turned her head away: "Who, who told you to say that?" Even Eriri couldn't be arrogant in front of someone as straightforward as Miku. Incidentally, Eriri was a little intimidated by Kaguya.
"Thank you." Shiki Jie Li's voice was low, and because he was wearing sunglasses, his expression was not visible, but his aura was indeed much gentler.
As for Arthur and Oda Nobunaga on the side, they were already frantically hurting each other by drawing Joker cards—at this point, whoever has the higher luck has the advantage!
Shishi Kairi opened the bento box and realized he was indeed quite hungry. It seemed he hadn't had such authentic Japanese food since leaving Japan.
"By the way, Uncle Shishi-kai, you don't know Miku yet, do you?" Eriri nudged Miku with her elbow to remind her.
Of the three girls, Kaguya Shinomiya is aloof, Miku Nakano is shy, so Eriri, who was originally a tsundere, is now the most lively and is forced to take on the responsibility of communicating with others among the girls.
“Ah, sorry! I forgot.” Nakano Miku introduced herself to Shishikage Kairi, “I am Nakano Miku, my Servant is Archer, and my real name is Oda Nobunaga.”
Oda Nobunaga? The Sixth Demon King?
Shishi Kairi, who was once a Japanese, certainly knew of the infamous Sixth Heaven Demon King.
Shiki Kairi almost facepalmed at this: "Actually, the second half of the sentence doesn't need to be said." Aren't these people too careless? It seems only Aoki Makoto is a little better?
“But Uncle Shishi is on our side.” Despite her seemingly introverted nature, Miku is still very clear-headed.
Nakano Miku smiled gently: "Aoki-kun and Eriri are willing to believe in you, so I will believe in you too."
Shishikage Kairi felt the burden on his shoulders had never been so heavy. He had to ensure that these innocent children won the Holy Grail War. If it weren't for the fact that the quality of their Servants was really high, Shishikage would have quit.
"Don't say that to other people," Lion's Robbery could only advise.
"Yeah, don't worry, Uncle Shishi-kun." Eriri nodded in agreement. "We'll be very vigilant when we're out." At least Eriri and Nakano Miku had changed their way of addressing him and were now calling him by his class name when they were out.
Can't tell at all.
Meeting the innocent eyes of the girls, Shishi Jie Li sighed. Oh well, he had already accepted the request; how could he possibly regret it?
Eriri chose to continue eating her bento box, and aside from everything else, Eriri's cooking skills were indeed quite good.
"I am back!"
Aoki Makoto and Taikomochi suddenly appeared in the secret base.
"Ha, welcome back, Makoto-kun." Eriri clapped her hands enthusiastically.
"Welcome back." Nakano Miku said shyly, hugging her knees. She and Aoki Makoto weren't very familiar with each other yet.
"Phew... Don't do such scary things." Lion Robber Jie Li was quite helpless; he almost attacked.
This was a stress response, after all, he and King Arthur had just stormed in.
"Sorry, sorry, but Rider's escape technique is just too useful." Makoto Aoki said with a smile, then sat down on the ground with Taiko.
"Is everything going smoothly?" Shishi Jie asked casually. Well, since King Arthur returned on time, there shouldn't be any major problems with Aoki Makoto.
"Thank you for your concern, Lion Lord. Everything is going smoothly here," Taigong Wang replied gently.
"So that means..." Eriri thought of the saintess who saved the country. Actually, she had a little regret that she couldn't see this legendary saintess in person, since Makoto Aoki only showed her the battle on Arthur's side.
“Yes, the Joan of Arc who troubled us has left the stage.” Makoto Aoki smiled slightly at her.
Meanwhile, in places unseen by the public, the previous footage was broadcast to the everyday world.
Of course, Makoto Aoki knew about this, but he wasn't quite sure about the specific comments from the everyday world.
"Finally, some useful footage. I was getting tired of watching Sawamura and Nakano."
"What's so annoying about pretty girls? I could look at those legs for a year!"
"And we also have Lord Nobunaga, what more could we ask for!"
"Alright, alright, the important thing is the information Aoki-kun brought."
It turns out that in BB's daily world live stream, he was always chasing after a few Masters, so no one saw King Arthur and Shishigake Kairi fighting together. They only saw the two people and one Servant playing cards underground. It was pleasing to the eye, but it was completely worthless.
As for the other Masters, their split-screen mode is temporarily off again, and it seems there's nothing unusual during this period.
"Joan of Arc? The legendary Joan of Arc? Was Joan of Arc an enemy?"
"Why is it only a partial broadcast? I want to know the whole story!"
"However, it seems that the situation is okay so far, since the atmosphere is quite relaxed."
"Who is that middle-aged man in sunglasses? Has anyone seen him? Why is everyone mistaking him for one of our companions? Damn it, we don't have enough information to make any sense of it!"
"As expected of a mystery novelist, Makoto Aoki does seem more reliable."
"Speaking of Kaguya Shinomiya, she's the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family."
