.Although Gilgamesh is more likely to like a Saber-type character who dares to resist himself, if he does not have the slack of Saber to try to resist the coercion of the king, this rash approach will end in nothing but blood... or blood.

Just as Hu Tao was searching and thinking about how to wait for an opportunity to cultivate a good impression, the warm BGM of the game sounded again in his mind.

4 Second Night Gilgamesh

【Time: Second Day · Evening】

【Location: Atrium of Tohsaka Mansion】

King of Heroes, Gilgamesh.

That's what the man is usually called.

His experience is recorded in the oldest narrative poem of mankind, "The Epic of Gilgamesh". When he was alive 5000 years ago, he ruled the city of Uruk in Mesopotamia. Tokiomi called him "the oldest king of mankind." "It can be said that it deserves its name.This person claims to have collected all the treasures in the world. He is handsome and stalwart, with both wealth and appearance. Even in the Fate series where heroes are born, he is a well-deserved tall, handsome and rich.

... How great it would be if he was just an ordinary tall, handsome and rich man.

(Why does Gao Shuaifu's "Gao" also have the attribute of Gaoling Flower.)

Looking up at the golden figure standing proudly on the top of the sculpture in the center of the fountain, Hu Tao couldn't help but feel a little sigh.

That kind of troublesome personality... What a waste of the face and money that is so blessed.

Generally speaking, this kind of occasion would be described as "Xiaguang coated that figure with a layer of bright gold rim".However, what is unique about Gilgamesh is that his own radiance is more dazzling than the sunset that fills the entire sky.

He has a dignified and dignified appearance, brightly colored and dazzling blond hair, and pupils as cold and red as blood.

The moment one sees him, one even has the absurd idea that "there is no need to pursue the miracle of the Holy Grail".The existence of that man, like some kind of miracle beyond the laws of biology, spoke of an unshakable and powerful truth.

The so-called things in the world are incompatible. While men have a strong sense of existence, they also develop an equally strong personality of self-importance.

For example, his speech at the moment.

"Although talking to the bastard can't produce anything of value...it's just a pastime before nightfall, and it's better than being confined in this lifeless courtyard. Hey, bastard over there, you are allowed to speak before the throne, now Immediately think of something to please me—you are Tokiomi’s disciple, right? It is also a disciple’s job to make up for the lack of a master, so you can replace that boring man and add some sideshows to this king.”

"..."

Hu Tao couldn't answer the lines for a while, but just stared blankly at the golden Servant's solemn face covered with four big characters of "righteousness and confidence".

If it wasn't Gilgamesh who said the above paragraph, with her violent personality, she would have punched her in the face.

(Calm down, little walnut, be elegant...be...ela...elegant...)

Repeatedly repeating Tokiomi-sensei's admonition in her mind, the girl barely suppressed the blood rushing to her forehead.

Fortunately, the setting of the protagonist of this game is somewhat similar to her, which is quite suitable for directly substituting herself, even if she talks nonsense, there is no need to worry about cheating.Searching through my mediocre life for more than ten years, maybe I can find a beautiful gem that caters to the taste of the King of Heroes.

[System: Select branch——]

【A. Obey the order and talk to Gilgamesh. 】

【B, It's too dangerous, I'll find an excuse to decline. 】

【C. In short, beat up this arrogant and rude guy first! 】

——What is option C? Is the death flag clear at a glance? !

Glancing at the third option as a joke... Although it is the best policy to avoid the edge at the moment, in order to find a breakthrough to untie the death trap, one can only take the risk of chatting with the executioner who made DeadEnd to get clues.

Before making a choice, Hu Tao had a long-term mind, and first connected to the archiving system to save the records of the second day.Even if you die immediately after starting the dialogue, you can directly jump back to the state before choosing "Talk to Gilgamesh" by loading the file.

Save-Load is one of the greatest inventions in the world.The girl confirmed this again in her heart.

[System: The production of the archive "The King of Heroes, the only one in the sky and the world" is complete.Location: Tohsaka House.Status: Selected branch. 】

——After reading it several times, I feel that the name of this event is very long... After returning to reality, I suggest that the script teacher change it to be more concise.

[A has been selected. 】

"My king."

The girl imitated Tokiomi and leaned down respectfully.

"About the topic of 'magic', you must have heard a lot from my teacher. Unfortunately, I have little knowledge. Apart from the world of magic, I only have a few insignificant ordinary experiences of young people. Even so, is the king willing to condescend to listen? ?”

The girl's humble and polite attitude, in the eyes of the heroic spirit who is used to being admired by others, lacks a bit of the childishness of a little girl, but it is considered appropriate and decent.

Therefore, he stretched the lines between his brows and ordered in a condescending and domineering voice.

"It's okay, just open your mouth. Even if it's a bastard's nonsense, after all, it's something that lives in the 'inside' of the world and grows in this king's garden. At least it's more interesting than the man who pursues things outside the world."

The Heroic Spirit's dissatisfaction with Tokiomi was palpable, and he didn't shy away from speaking out and mocking each other.

If Tohsaka Tokiomi knew that the family's long-cherished wish was treated with such contempt, he would have a complicated expression on his face.

——The miracle that Tokiomi hopes to achieve through the Holy Grail is the "root" pursued by magicians of all ages.As for what the root cause is, it is difficult to explain clearly in human terms.

Just as philosophers seek the truth, believers seek the oracle, and mathematicians prove the Badgoch conjecture, what Tokiomi wants is a lofty ideal that no one outside the field of "magic" can understand.

Of course, the great king couldn't understand either.

This is normal, there is no need for the king to interpret the wishes of his subjects one by one, it is enough for the king to lead his subjects towards their goals.

Therefore, Gilgamesh didn't bother to understand the mood of his subordinates (to be precise, writing as a minister, read as Master), but instead took the initiative to find the king's pleasure in this world.

For example, strike up a conversation with a little passer-by girl practicing flying magic in the atrium.

"My name is Himizaka Kurumi."

With the king's approval, the girl raised her head and answered, and for the first time she reported her name in front of the man who tortured and killed her three times.

"As you can see, she is a daughter of Japanese-Italian mixed blood. My father is Japanese and my mother is Italian."

"Oh. It's very similar to Kotomine Kirei's family."

The combination of human beings is really the same - as if saying this from the bottom of his heart, the King of Heroes twitched his lips boredly.

(Are you an intelligence agency?! How much do you care about Kirei to even know his wife's nationality...)

Trying his best to suppress the death-seeking urge to confront the King of Heroes face to face, Hu Tao continued with his eyes half-downcast.

"When my father was alive, he had a lot of contacts with Kirei's father, Father Kotomine Risei. When I was five years old, my parents died in a traffic accident. Since then, I have been adopted by this father's friend."

Speaking of this, the girl who was still calm under the pressure of the King of Heroes suddenly shuddered slightly.

(Yes, I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, this is a last resort, I will use my salary to buy condolences for you...)

"For more than ten years, I have stayed with Father Risei to serve my lord. It wasn't until Tokiomi-sensei approached Kirei and proposed to form an alliance in the Holy Grail War that I was fortunate enough to leave the church and come to this extreme eastern land."

"It turns out that, being a little girl of this age is indeed a joyless experience."

Wang commented briefly.

"However, you should say more than that, right?"

"My king Mingcha."

At the same time as he said these words, Hu Tao's own teeth became sore.

"In fact, I followed Kirei here to participate in the Holy Grail War, and I also have my own purpose."

"Oh--?"

Sure enough, the King of Heroes, who is interested in human psychology, drew out his tone for the first time in a less negative tone.

While secretly delighted at the success of her little trick, the girl raised her head and spun words in a calm and humble tone.

"——I want to see the heroic spirit. No matter who wins this battle, as long as I can witness the ancient heroes come to the world with my own eyes, I will have no regrets."

More than [-]% of this sentence is Hu Tao's inner voice, but it's not that exaggerated.

Different from the lack of romantic appearance, Himizaka Walnut is an out-and-out myth lover.

When "Fate/Dokidoki/Zero" was first put into the evaluation, someone half-jokingly asked everyone, "If you get the Holy Grail, what wish do you want to achieve"-colleagues gave either realistic or whimsical answers one by one, such as I want to become a peerless beauty, I want my salary to increase tenfold, I want to reconcile with my ex-boyfriend who broke up.When it was Hu Tao's turn to answer, she couldn't think of any urgent desire for a while, and subconsciously replied:

"Ah? For me, as long as I see the heroic spirit, I will be satisfied. The heroic spirit itself is a miracle."

——Because this answer is no different from Kotomine Kirei's "I don't have any wishes", so she was ridiculed by everyone and pushed Kirei's line with "husband and wife".

Fortunately, the King of Heroes did not heal her wounds, but nodded slightly with some appreciation:

"Take admiration of heroic spirits as the goal of entering dangerous situations. It seems that you really have a heart of admiration for ancient heroes. Although in the end you are just a bastard who longs to bathe in the glory of the king, as far as a little girl is concerned, she has a very broad mind. .”

(...Well, actually, the goal of my adventure is to get paid.)

Automatically ignoring the insulting words of the other party, the girl secretly chuckled in her heart, and buried her head even lower.

[System: According to the content of the conversation, Gilgamesh's favorability +2.Kenneth's favorability is -5. 】

——Wait, wait, why is there such a strange thing as Kenneth's favorability? !Where is Kenneth now? ! !

[System: Please note that Tohsaka House is always under the surveillance of all Masters. 】

—— Nima...

As a fan of mythology, Walnut tends to respect and admire Heroic Spirits, which is quite different from most magicians who use Heroic Spirits as props.In contrast to her, the British Master named Kenneth was quite insulting to the existence of "Heroic Spirits".

"It's just a dead person resurrected by magic, and the puppet dares to make irresponsible remarks to its master!"

——That man once scolded his Servant so harshly.

Obviously, the walnut who poured out his admiration to Servant generously just now has also been classified by Kenneth into a not-so-nice category, commonly known as a fool.

Just as Hu Tao was deeply annoyed by this inexplicable drop in favorability, the King of Heroes' majestic voice dragged her back to the reality in front of her again.

"Then, little girl, this king asks you—if you were chosen as the Master of this Holy Grail War instead of Kirei, what kind of heroic spirit do you hope to summon? Or, do you want to try to use this king like Tokiomi? What about the prestige?"

"It's terrifying."

Walnut made an exaggerated 90-degree bow to the end.

"Speaking of the heroic spirit I want to summon..."

——It's the woman you've been chasing for a fit.

Of course, this sentence is impossible to say directly.

in short.

During the Fourth Holy Grail War, Lord Gilgamesh fell in love with his younger sister Arturia, the "King Arthur" who was present as a Saber, and he proposed to marry him at the third sight...

……Then? Saber rejected his marriage proposal without thinking, and then there was nothing more.

Artoria Pendragon enjoys an incomparably lofty name in English legends, and is a "Knight King" who has been famous forever as a generation of sages and incarnations of dragons.There is no doubt that it is a glorious figure that those who practice the way of chivalry should yearn for.For walnuts with rectal guts, they should be the most suitable companions.

However, at this time, the King of Heroes and the King of Knights have not yet "seen each other". Even if Saber is praised as an overlord flower, it may not be able to get a good impression. It is better to change to a safer choice.

"—My lord, the one I most wish to meet is the hero named 'Enkidu'."

This heroic spirit was the only friend Gilgamesh recognized during his lifetime.

Born from the soil with the help of the magic power of the gods, he is a veritable "son of god".However, he was deprived of his vitality by the gods because he disobeyed the will of the gods together with Gilgamesh, and finally died of exhaustion day by day.

A great heroic spirit who can tolerate even such a second-class king, if possible, I really want to hug his thigh... No, see him.If she hides behind Enkidu as a weak girl and sobs, even the second king will not be able to do anything to her.

"I heard that this heroic spirit is your unique best friend. If you can meet him in the Holy Grail War, it will also add fun to this modern journey for you."

Hu Tao felt that her flattering tone was extremely hypocritical, and her fake smile almost turned into a mask and fell off her face.

"..."

Should it be said that he made the right bet? Gilgamesh was not angry, but silently cast a menacing gaze from above.Perhaps it was an unprecedented good sign that he didn't tear Hu Tao apart with eighteen weapons the moment she made the NTR statement.

...Oh, this must be the power of friends.This guy really likes men more.

[Komatsu Nanako: Wow, your development is so exciting here, please Enkidu NTR! ! 】

Suddenly, a strange feeling like radio noise was mixed in my mind.

If I'm not mistaken... this should be a greeting from a fellow tester in the same game.Because the testers seldom seek help from the technicians in the third dimension, they usually communicate within the group through brain waves when encountering bottlenecks.

[Kawashima Miao: He's not dead yet... Sure enough, Jiyou is Shining's mental stabilizer. 】

[Himizaka Hutao: Are you waiting for me to die—? ! 】

[Kawashima Miao: Yes, I look forward to you developing a way of death that is richer than Jin Glitter's weapon storage, so that the game plot will be flesh and blood. 】

[Himizaka Hutao: Flesh and blood are flying everywhere!Honey, you can't just treat me like this when you have Kariya, have you forgotten that I am your true love? ! 】

[Komatsu Nanako: Don't ignore her!Walnut greatly asks Enkidu NTR 2333333]

[Himizaka Hutao: ... If I could conquer Enkidu, I would have rushed there long ago.Don't give me hope, it will only drive me deeper into despair when I am ravaged to death by Enkidu's friends.By the way, what are you doing, Cai Cai? 】

【Komatsu Nanako: Gun~brother~line><~~~~~】

[Himizaka Hutao: Oh, you were the one who wanted to prostitute Brother Gun before but was killed by Sister Sola infinitely. 】

[Komatsu Nanako: Go, go, they won't be defeated so easily!It was someone else who attacked Brother Gun before, and I ran away when I got tired of being killed.Brother Gun is really M~~~~ Let my sister take a good smack and he will be happy! 】

[Himizaka Hutao: ... I seem to be opening the game in the wrong way, please chat slowly, I'll restart it. 】

Resolutely blocking the bad news from his colleagues, Hu Tao once again focused his attention on the golden heroic spirit in front of him.

Probably because the mention of Enkidu brought back some distant memories of the King of Heroes, he did not continue to speak for the time being.After pondering for a while, the golden heroic spirit looked at the girl on the ground and said slowly:

"Having unreasonable thoughts about the king's friends should be a death penalty, but it seems that you really surrender... Anyway, your life will be entrusted for now."

— oh yeah alive! !Enkidu thank you! ! !

The King of Heroes above his head hadn't finished a sentence, but the heart of this box of walnuts was already dancing.

"——It's just, little girl. Your wishes are all pinned on the 'past', but you don't have any desire for the era you live in. Such human beings don't exist. Are you still hiding something from me?"

"……Eh?"

Unexpectedly, he would make such a cut, Hu Tao was stunned.

"Forget it, that's not interesting. As long as this Holy Grail War continues, as Kirei and Tokiomi's assistant, your true wish will surface sooner or later...Before you taste that wish, just lie to it The king of sin can still tolerate it."

Gilgamesh came to a conclusion in his own words, and switched back to the spirit body mode without further words to hide his body.

In front of Walnut, who was standing there in a daze, there was only a pale golden light spot in the air that gave people the impression of luxury.

Those light fragments as small as fireflies fluttered and scattered one after another, proving that the elusive golden Servant once existed here.

(my wish?)

joke.

Himizaka Kurumi has no wish for the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail, which can only affect the game world, is useless to her.Even if the power of the Holy Grail can reach the third dimension, she has the confidence to get what she wants with her own efforts.

"I'm sorry, AU King, but I don't have any interesting wishes here for you. Now I just want to create a love END as soon as possible and then go home and sleep... Please cooperate and let me solve it."

The girl stood there and muttered in a low voice.

Judging from the development of this kind of story, Gilgamesh seems to have developed some interest in her.Anyway, my goal is nothing more than to get a Best End, as long as I trigger the plot all the way to enter Jill-kun's personal route, I will be able to successfully spawn HE, which is much more convenient than going to the church to chase Kirei.

Hu Tao Ruyi's calculations were in full swing, when the beep beep beep sounded again in his head.

[Note: If you switch from the Kirei route to the Gilgamesh route, you can only attack the Friendship END.If you want to achieve Gilgamesh Love END, please go back to the character selection page, change the entrance and log in to the game again.The ability value and favorability of the current stage will be cleared. 】

…………………………………… Damn it, it’s too early to say! !

5 The third day Lily(?)

【Time: Three Days · Afternoon】

【Location: Fuyuki City】

On the afternoon of the third day of game time, Himisaka Kurumi walked alone on the somewhat deserted streets of Fuyuki City.

After completing Gilgamesh Incident 1, the game mode is switched to "Free Action" again.Walnut judged that he didn't need to accumulate Tohsakakata's favorability for the time being, so he decided to spend the next day on activities in the city.

Although she received the hopelessly cheap system prompt, she did not choose to jump back to the first day and start from scratch.Up to now, compared with Otome Queen's self-esteem, Walnut is more eager to break through the death cycle and see the end of this Holy Grail War.It doesn't matter if you are not the first to complete the love END, not to mention that there is no enjoyment at all in attacking a man who is completely self-centered.Unlike Kotomine Kirei, she was not in harmony with the villainous hero Wang Qinser, nor did she have the confidence to raise a sword at him like Saber, so she really couldn't be called the type that could attract the favor of that man.

Therefore, the safest choice at the moment is to continue the friendship line strategy at hand, and then receive the bonus as soon as possible to go home for extra meals-this is the focus of Walnut's concern.

No matter how much you worship the ancient heroic spirits, Homer's epic cannot be used to fill your stomach.Leaving aside his mythological hobbies, Himizaka Kurumi is still a rather mediocre mundane person.

For her, no matter how wonderful the different world is, it is her own workplace, and those charming characters with strong personalities are like serving customers, and it is an amateur among amateurs to have unreasonable thoughts about customers.No matter how heart-pounding the tragicomedy of love I performed in this world, if this story cannot be exchanged into a common currency in the three-dimensional world, no matter how much each other is, it will be nonsense.

To sum up, when Walnut, who worked day and night for his livelihood, saw a silver-haired girl and a blond boy (?) wearing high-end clothes and walking arm in arm by the shop window, he felt a sense of viciousness and hatred for the rich. And know.

The pair of bi people who walked together, their faces as delicate as a meticulous painting blurred their age, and their every move and gesture exuded an elegant and noble temperament, even if they walked at the palace ball in fairy tales, they would not look awkward .

The woman was a young woman with silver hair like a waterfall. The gorgeous white fox fur coat and knee-high boots on her body not only did not look cumbersome, but even made her doll-like flawless beauty even more dazzling.The man—Hu Tao, who is familiar with the background of the story, naturally knows that it is a fake Mulan—wears a well-tailored black suit, and his bright blond hair hangs in a bundle on Yubai's neck, as awe-inspiring as a girl's sword. The sharp temperament contrasts to nothing.

As the saying goes, everyone has a love for beauty.

To promote this sentence, everyone has the heart to love beauties.

Although Hu Tao's eyes were red with envy for those two high-end suits worth a month's living expenses, she had to admit that those two clothes racks were indeed peerless beauties who could only be decorated with such gorgeous clothes.

But... these two beauties, despite their slender appearance, were key figures in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

The silver-haired woman is an artificial human created to act as a "Holy Grail container", named Irisviel, and the wife of Saber Master Emiya Kiritsugu.In order to deliver the Holy Grail to her trusting husband, the beautiful android who was born as a puppet but lived as a woman resolutely went to the battlefield of death.

As for the accompanying blond girl, it is naturally a Servant of the Saber class, that is, Gilgamesh's future dream lover, and the dream partner that Walnut "mostly wants to summon".Its real name is the famous and legendary "Knight King" in English history-King Arthur, Artoria.

How a young girl who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, in order to reorganize the world, provoke a country's heavy responsibility, how she gave up her womanhood and showed her life as a man, how she dedicated herself to the people of Britain, and how she ushered in a miserable end amidst the betrayal of her relatives. All of this is on hold for the time being.

Because Emiya Kiritsugu, who summoned Saber, is good at assassinating Qidao, pursues combat efficiency and at the same time is inevitably suspected of being cold-blooded and despicable, and is destined not to be compatible with Saber who upholds the noble chivalry.Therefore, Kiritsugu let his wife with perfect ladylike temperament go with Saber as the deputy Master, and the girl who is a knight was naturally very happy.

Probably because he was too close to the characters in the plot, the system prompt beeped.

[System: Trigger Irisviel Event 1 "Winter Maiden".Select branch——]

【A. Start a conversation with an unknown couple and try to act as a light bulb. 】

【B. It's getting late, hurry back to Teacher Tokiomi's house. 】

...This script must have been written by a lily lover, Hu Tao thought to himself.

[A has been selected. 】

No matter which game, the more interactions with the characters in the plot, the better, unless you are a rookie who hurts his favor when he opens his mouth.

"Excuse me...the two don't look like Japanese, are they tourists?"

After a little thought, Hu Tao chose the safest way to strike up a conversation.

Seeing a stranger approaching, the girl in men's clothing, Saber, immediately removed her relaxed expression, put on a vigilant expression, and walked two steps sideways to stop in front of the silver-haired woman.

However, Irisviel, who was protected by her behind her, didn't show any signs of uneasiness, instead she leaned over Saber's shoulder with some surprise.

"Ah, can you see it? It's strange, the difference between us and ordinary people shouldn't be that big..."

——No, no, that innate aristocratic demeanor (and of course that luxurious outfit like a mobile coffer) has already made you stand out from the crowd on the streets of Fuyuki.

"Where, both of them are extraordinary white rich...cough cough, I mean, they look very eye-catching, because they are very beautiful."

It's so dangerous, I almost told Bai Fumei...

"Oh, really? Of course I'm very happy to be praised like that... Well, you can really talk."

Probably because she has never had contact with outsiders, so few people praised her outstanding beauty in person.Irisviel lowered her head a little shyly.

Just judging from the inexperienced, innocent expression and behavior, it is really hard to imagine that she has an eight-year-old daughter.

Although she was a little frightened, this broad-minded woman didn't seem to be wary of Hu Tao—it was indeed a bit childish as an agent Master, but it was a great help to Hu Nuo.

[System: Select branch——]

【A. Propose to be a guide for this golden couple. 】

【B. Stop being a light bulb, go home quickly. 】

【C. Hurry up and go home. 】

[D, I told you to go home quickly. 】

【E. If I tell you to come back, you will come back! 】

——So annoying... The system is so annoying!What happened to the golden boy and the jade girl? This is clearly the golden girl and the jade girl, right?The options are too aggressive, don't use your position to promote your hobbies, write your script well! !

[A has been selected. 】

[System: You little slut who joined the Lily group!third party!Die badly! 】

——Holy shit, are you really a system? ! !

Hu Tao couldn't help thinking that this group of artists is really too difficult to serve, since he hates light bulbs so much, he shouldn't set up this plot.If you have the time to be infatuated with Lily, it is better to fix the BUG in Kirei's line so that Jin Shining will not kill people indiscriminately.

"By the way, since the two of you are tourists, why don't you let me be your guide and take you on a tour? It's a rare opportunity, and I hope Fuyuki will leave a good impression of hospitality on international friends."

Suppressing his anger, Hu Tao offered the invitation as naturally as possible.

"Ah, this...it would be great if it's convenient, but..."

Even the gentle and amiable Irisviel had some doubts about the addition of outsiders.But looking at her frowning and worried expression, she probably wasn't jealous of Hu Tao, but just worried that she would be involved in the tragic struggle among the heroic spirits and be killed.

In this distorted city full of all the evils in this world, it was the first time she felt such pure kindness, and Hu Tao felt that she was so moved that she was about to cry.

"We don't need a guide."

Unlike Irisviel who was hesitant, Saber immediately rejected this proposal firmly.

"If I remember correctly, there are no tourist attractions worth seeing in this city. We just wandered aimlessly. Thank you for your kindness, but sorry, please allow us to decline."

"Saber, there's no need to say that..."

(Are you still on guard after all...)

Hu Tao shrugged helplessly, and she had already made up her mind: if she failed to strike up a conversation, she would honestly go home and cook for Tokiomi, she really couldn't stand that old century nobleman who couldn't operate any advanced electrical appliances.Tokiomi doesn't care about the quality of food, a glass of elegant red wine can feed him, but walnuts are different - nobles can not care about food nutrition and hygiene, but ordinary citizens can't.

"Yeah, this is a simple and humble town with little ornamental value. However, I can introduce the popular local shops and the like? It won't take much time for you just to taste the local famous products."

She tried coaxing one last time.

"Ah, are you talking about souvenirs? This one seems very interesting...Saber, can you take a look at it?"

It worked.

Irisviel looked at the blond girl with innocent longing eyes like a child going out with her parents.

Maybe it was defeated by that straightforward smile, Saber hesitated again and again, and finally had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Since Irisviel said so, I have no choice but to go with you. I just hope you don't think I'm busy. It's the duty of a knight to protect the princess."

"Yes, it is like that."

After happily summarizing, the silver-haired woman turned to Hu Tao with a smile on her face.

"Then it's better to be respectful than obedient, please take us to an interesting local shop. Well, you are..."

"Hinamizaka Kurumi. Just call me Kurumi."

[System: According to the content of the conversation, Irisviel's favorability will be +1. PS: You little bitch. 】

——Why can you get a good impression even if you report your name... And please shut up, the system.

"Oh, that's a good name."

As if to answer the question in Walnut's heart, Irisviel said with emotion from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, is it... I am often laughed at by people for having a vulgar name, which completely destroys the artistic conception of my surname."

This time it was the turn of the praised Walnut to be embarrassed.

"Don't worry, it must be jealous that you have such a cute name."

Irisviel simply came to a somewhat random conclusion.

"The most familiar trees to me are all kinds of walnuts, so this is a very affectionate name."

what.I remembered.

Irisviel's husband Kiritsugu and daughter Illya often played childish games in the woods around the castle to find winter buds of walnut trees. The mother sat by the window and quietly watched their frolicking scenes.In the ancient winter city far away from the world and covered by ice and snow all the year round, "Walnut Winter Bud" is almost the only outdoor entertainment for the family.

(...No, no, right now, I have to concentrate on being a light bulb, and I will talk about unnecessary sadness later.)

Calmly reminding himself, while leading a pair of beauties to the nearest dessert shop, Hu Tao secretly regretted why he didn't make the persona more dignified and beautiful, at least walking next to Bai Fumei doesn't look so good A rough girl.

————————————————————————————————————————

…………

Two 10 minutes later.

[System: Little bitch, little bitch, little bitch, little bitch, little bitch, third party, third party, third party, die, die, die, bathing king, puncture and die Be devoured by an octopus, be made into a human organ, be killed by a headshot, be stabbed to death, be shot to death, be stabbed to death by a kidney, be bitten by bugs—]

——Hey, this Fate/Zero Death Method Encyclopedia is too detailed...and Tokiomi was stabbed not in the kidney but in the heart!Have you really read the original work? !

"...Ah, this tastes really good!"

At this time, the only thing that can heal Hu Tao's mind and heart after being brutally screened is the soft and satisfied pure smile of the silver-haired woman in front of her.

"Although Hecheng...is completely different from the desserts in my hometown, but this refreshing taste is quite wonderful! Thank you, Miss Walnut, I know a delicacy."

Putting down the delicate spoon in her hand, Irisviel smiled frankly and thanked her.

The so-called "food" that Walnut recommended to her is actually just ordinary Japanese-style shaved ice—the bottom of the glass is filled with sweet milk, and topped with red bean and strawberry jam. It is the signature food of this store in midsummer.

Although ordering cold drinks in winter is a bit exaggerated, for Irisviel who has lived in the snow country for many years, these summer refreshments made of ice and snow must be an unprecedented novel experience.Seeing Mrs. Emiya showing a satisfied smile after handing the small spoon into her mouth, Hu Tao couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

(Ah, just to make her happy...)

Irisviel's fate is an irreversible tragedy.Only this woman has nothing to do with the game guide, just as a novel reader, Hu Tao also hopes that she can feel the happiness of "human" as much as possible.

Even if that happiness is just a cup of insignificant dessert
