The King and the Priest[Comprehensive]

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Today, our family packs up our things and prepares to go—let's go traveling."

When the pharaoh's majestic voice sounded in the brand-new temple, his "family" stopped what they were doing and cast surprised eyes.

"Why so suddenly?"

Tahir had just put away the harp, and the ethereal tail sound like spring water hitting a stream has not yet dissipated, lingering and echoing on the edge of the roof.

He is not in a good mood, and playing the piano is just a way to relax when the pressure has accumulated to a certain level.

It happened that the king sat on the throne for a long time without speaking, as if he was closing his eyes and resting his mind.He was sitting right next to the throne, and he was playing on his own. The gurgling sound like running water became the best accompaniment that could calm people's minds.

In the glorious palace where the throne was before, there were only the two of them.It is not impossible to enjoy this beautiful tranquility without deliberately communicating.

Tahir thought that Ozymandias had fallen asleep, but he did not expect that Wang did not rest, but had been thinking about an important matter.

"Huh? Just now, my lord father?"

Sakura just came back from school when she heard such powerful words.

"School isn't on holiday yet, and, isn't there a Holy Grail War going on right now?"

Since she arrived home neither too early nor too late, the people in the family couldn't tell at all, before Sakura went home, she stopped by Emiya's house.

The main purpose of going to Senior Emiya's house is to apologize to the poor senior who suffered an innocent disaster the day before.Accepting the temporary culinary instruction of the senior who is really good-tempered is just a matter of passing.

Shirou Emiya barely managed to leave the pyramid that popped up in Fuyuki that day intact(?).

He was so miserable that even a certain white-haired man who was supposed to hate him the most couldn't help feeling sympathetic to him.Fortunately, Sakura brought the real guests to forcefully make a rescue in time, and also gave a reasonable explanation of "how strong is the senior that makes her feel respectful".

It's cooking.

Yes, Emiya Shiro is a magical man.

He lived with his adoptive father and his unrelated elder brother. He was forcibly tempered by these two kitchen insulators since he was a child. When he was still a primary school student, he had consciously carried a vegetable basket to the vegetable market to bargain, and stepped on a stool to cook a pot familiarly. It's time to cook.

Maybe Shirou Emiya had already forgotten.

When he was young, in order to support his family, he seized every opportunity to practice cooking. He once had the cheek to go to the uncle who set up a food stall on the side of the road and volunteered to help without pay.

Elementary school student Emiya Shiro is really talented in cooking. He tried to make teppanyaki for the first time on the street, and he attracted a large number of customers because of the strong aroma.

Maybe it was because there were so many guests that day—and because too much time had passed.

Emiya Shirou couldn't remember at all, among the countless faces that seemed to be the same, there was one that belonged to Matou-senior that he met now.

He also never imagined that although the dishes he made through his hard work that day were far from perfect as they are today, the impact and meaning they caused were astonishingly huge.

——For example, by chance and coincidence, a girl who almost lost her ideal heart for the definition of "delicious" was saved.

It just so happened that on this day, Sakura Matou was wandering in the streets, feeling lost on the road of life.

The reason is that she ate at home the meal prepared by her father who finally broke through the limit and managed not to blow up the kitchen.

That would have been a miracle.

The food that Father No. [-] made with his own hands is really good in appearance, shining on the table, it is simply a rare work of art in the world.

Sakura and her father cried after eating No. [-].

The reason for their tears—unfortunately, it’s not that the food is so delicious that both people and gods are angry, but it’s the complete opposite...

'This, this taste. '

'Worse than too much flavor, or no flavor at all...'

'it is good……'

——It belongs to the "unpalatable" that is difficult to thoroughly summarize with superficial language.No, it's just... too subtle to describe!

Tahir not only has bad eyesight, but also has a lot of problems with his sense of taste.

His cooking only perfectly restored the appearance of the tutorial pictures, because he couldn't taste the taste at all. Under the perfect appearance, what was hidden was the "murderous intent" that could destroy the pure heart.

If the drug testers who are normal people can directly or euphemistically express the real taste, that can help a little.

But they—the pharaoh who loved his wife like his life and the girl who was not good at expressing his feelings at that time obviously couldn't say it.

Endured it, concealed it, and ate it all as if nothing had happened.After eating, he would praise him without revealing any flaws, so that Tahir could not notice the difference.

Sakura is very able to endure suffering. Compared with the first torture, it is just that the daily food is just good-looking and has no taste. She can definitely...

...Patience.

"..."

"Sakura."

"Yes, my father?"

"... Thank you for your hard work, Tahir, he... let me bear this heavy love alone. You take the money and let the snake take you out to eat."

Ozymandias is determined to go all out to pamper his lover, but it is enough for him to sacrifice himself alone, and he still can't bear to let Sakura bear the [excessive love] with him.

After eating the food cooked by the High Priest for a few days, Sakura really began to be in a trance, a little suspicious of life.

——Even a perfect person like my father can't cook perfect meals?No, my father is perfect, and the food he cooks must also be perfect.

——The problem must be my own.It's me, I can't understand what true delicacy is... Ah, does delicacy that can be created with only hard work really exist...

Just as she was wandering the streets with the money, the figure of the red-haired boy suddenly came into view.

Sakura first smelled the fragrance wafting in the air, and her empty eyes were slightly enlightened, then she came over involuntarily and bought a freshly made Teppanyaki.

Holding the hot paper box, the perplexed girl took a small bite first regardless of whether the food was too hot.

Then she wept.

That's it, that's the taste.It directly saved a soul that was about to fall into despair.

Sakura has heard people say that this red-haired boy is learning to cook very hard to take care of his frail family members, and he is also working hard to hone his cooking skills.

She was deeply touched and inspired by it.

Sure enough, from today onwards, she still has to pick up the spatula again and work hard for the adults in the family——

Accidentally pulled it a little far.Back to the present Sakura Heart said.

Before other people knew about it, she already had an impression of Emiya Shirou's cooking skills, and she was also somewhat interested in this senior himself.

The fathers at home couldn't hold back their aura, and they frightened Emiya-senpai enough, Sakura felt that she should go to appease him.

However, so far, the interest has not become the "like" that fathers and adults are nervous about, that's for sure.

Before going to Emiya's house, Sakura also went to Tohsaka's house, which she hadn't set foot in ten years, to apologize to her sister and Mr. Archer for the poor hospitality the day before yesterday.

There is no doubt that Rin was also shocked that day.

Before that, she never imagined that not only was Sakura's adoptive father not a member of the Matou family, but he was so...so——

After all, it's not human at all!

It must be a Heroic Spirit, definitely a Servant!There is one who is not sure, but the man who looks like a golden sun, no matter how you look at it, it is not wrong to be a heroic spirit!

"Ahhhhh why I don't know why I didn't notice at all!"

Rin almost collapsed on the spot.

An obviously terrible bug-like existence descended on Fuyuki City, and stayed with his sister for quite a long time—how could there be such a plot!It doesn't make sense at all!

"Forget it, calm down Rin, the future of this Holy Grail War is already visibly messed up."

After vacanting her eyes for a while, her servant figured it out quickly and became as calm as stagnant water: "It's just that the heroic spirit stayed in this world and happened to adopt Sakura. According to this development, the Holy Grail War It's not surprising that it's over in three days."

After hearing this, Rin suddenly collapsed even more than before.

Sakura expected such a situation to happen, so she came to the door to explain the ins and outs in general, so as to resolve her sister's worries.

Even though she only went there for a short while, she did quite a lot and was extremely efficient.

That is to say, the news after returning home was too sudden, which surprised Sakura who thought she would have to participate in a Holy Grail War next.

"Is it okay to leave regardless of the Holy Grail War?"

The matter of going to school was not important, and was first ignored by Sakura. She was seriously thinking about the Holy Grail War: "Although I forgot to summon the rider... I feel a little sorry for choosing the Holy Grail for someone like me. There is no way, I It's been really busy lately."

Matou Sakura should be the master who has never cared about the Holy Grail War.

Because she hasn't summoned the Heroic Spirit until now.

For some reason, the Holy Grail War started as scheduled without a servant.

I don't know why, but the Holy Grail will choose Matou Sakura as one of the masters, whose desire should not be very deep.

Even though she didn't know the reason, but she was selected anyway, Sakura still thought about whether she should cooperate well...

——However, it was embarrassing that she forgot after thinking about it.

"It doesn't matter."

"Ok!"

"The Holy Grail War will end by tomorrow night at the latest."

"Hey...is that so?"

Neither Ying nor Tahir knew that Pharaoh would be so sure, but since he said so, they believed him very well.

"It was a bit sudden, but it seems that you have made up your mind, so there is no reason for me to refute it."

It took only a few moments for Tahir to understand the Pharaoh's heart, so there was no special reaction.

He just asked him: "Where are you going?"

"I've only determined the final destination, and I'll let Sakura choose the previous location. Then, Sakura, where do you want to go?"

Sakura felt that this development was even more sudden: "Let me decide? Well, it's hard to imagine for a while..."

Thinking this way in her heart, she actually accepted it very quickly, and mentioned a few places that she had known before but couldn't find a chance to go.

"It's too close, look around the world."

Ozymandias vetoed most of them on the spot, on the grounds that it was boring to just go around and look around.

He added: "Even Tahir is going with us. A rare opportunity like this, but only once."

Sakura: "...Ah!"

I have to say, this sentence is very attractive.

Tahir has always disliked going out, and being forcibly dragged out to participate in the temple fair every New Year is already the limit he can barely accept.

The pharaoh spoke on his own, without asking for his opinion at all.

It's just that this time, the priest's face was indifferent, neither admitting nor denying it.

Seeing this scene, Sakura understood that this is indeed an extremely rare opportunity.

The whole family really wanted to go out and play around.

"If father and adults all go, of course I can leave immediately!"

Even though she has grown into a girl with an extraordinary personality, Sakura still has a bit of hope in her heart.

She has been looking forward to traveling with her two fathers and adults. In the past, she usually missed one person, and she was happy when she was happy, but she still felt a little regretful in her heart.

And now, the regret seems to be made up for.

Sakura's heart skipped a beat.

The Holy Grail War followed the school to the sky, and she actively raised her hand: "I'm going to pack my luggage now? Father, do you want me to help you pack your luggage? Ah, do you have to make a travel plan first--wait a minute Wait, let me ask Mr. Snake Zhang, it has been to many places!"

It didn't take long before the girl ran away eagerly.

Seeing this, the two fathers who were left behind had more or less a smile on their faces no matter what their expressions were before.

"Although I don't plan to object, is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?"

Tahir looked forward, his voice was light.

"Of course." The man on the throne also said softly, "In my opinion, this is a journey that must be completed perfectly."

"Not much time left."

"Yes."

"Therefore, it is even more necessary to be perfect."

"Ah."

"..."

After a brief silence.

"Tahir, my love."

Wang spoke.

Even if he couldn't meet the eyes of his lover who was beside him, he used this calm tone to express all the turbulent emotions in his heart.

"It's not just for Sakura. You should understand that my real wish is—"

"..."

The sight of the blond man was slightly tilted, as if he was only a little bit close to touching the dangerous range.

But he took it anyway.

"what."

Just answer: "I know."

At the same time as the words fell, Wang silently held his fingers hanging by his side.

Through the hard and cold hand armor, you can still feel the warmth that can melt the deep ice.

Before Sakura returned excitedly, they just held each other's hands tightly, and all the words that could not be explained in the sun were all hidden at this moment in the tacit understanding that was reconnected after being cut off for thousands of years.
