The Hero's physical fitness is very good, there is no problem with that.
But this doesn't mean that Yingling can drink a lot.
Just like Iskandar at this moment, even though he was the famous King of Conquerors, under the influence of alcohol, his face was still very rosy.
Waver looked at his Servant, feeling helpless.
We were clearly in the enemy's base camp, but he was still so relaxed that he didn't take any of the things I gave him before I came here to heart.
What on earth is he thinking!
This is a war in which one's life is at stake. One comes to the banquet at the risk of death at any time.
What is going on now?
Getting drunk in the enemy's base?
Is this reasonable?
"Ugh…"
Weber took a deep breath, his eyes quickly moving from his 'four enemies' to finally resting on the moon outside the window.
There was one thing he didn't tell anyone.
today……
It's his birthday.
He didn't think it was a big deal. When he was in the Clock Tower, he celebrated his birthday alone as usual.
Or maybe birthdays themselves aren't that important.
Many people, whether poor or rich, do not necessarily celebrate their birthdays.
As a student like me who is not an excellent student, naturally I don’t need it, right?
He stared at the bright moon in the sky in a daze.
Jianchen Matou and Iskandar had already drunk the hot tea made by Sera and Lijielit.
“Good tea!”
Iskandar exclaimed.
"Oh?"
Jian Tong Jianchen shouted, and his eyes clearly said, you also understand tea?
"Well, you can still tell whether it tastes good or not by drinking it."
As Iskandar explained, he said to Waver beside him:
"Boy, you should also try this tea. I really like it. This world is really beautiful. It has many things that didn't exist in my time."
"Advanced communication equipment, delicious food, and even in this season, I can stay at home and turn on the treasure called air conditioning, without feeling hungry or cold at all."
"In my time, this was something I couldn't even think about."
"This is probably what the life of a god is like."
Although Iskandar's face was flushed, he was not drunk. Although his strong physique could not change his alcohol tolerance, it could change his recovery speed.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had almost recovered.
But the wine has sobered up, but the intoxicated soul has not.
Knowing that this might be his last day in this world, Iskandar opened his heart and shared his feelings about this Holy Grail War with his Master and his enemy.
"rider..."
Waver, who had not experienced the era of Iskandar and had spent most of his life in school, could not empathize with his Servant.
But the connection between the Master and the Servant allows him to resonate more easily than others.
Iskandar's emotions were like a silk thread that connected him and Weber, allowing Weber to feel the fluctuations of the thread.
"It's no big deal. People of every era have their own pains."
"Japan is not as beautiful as you imagine."
“No matter how advanced technology is, human hearts will not grow anything. Exploitation and oppression are eternal. There will always be blood on the rails of trams.”
“If you want to achieve your ideal life, you have a long way to go.”
"..."
There is no need to discuss these things at this time.
What the world is like has nothing to do with Kenshin Matou.
He did not inherit the ideals of the Emiya family, nor did he inherit the ideals of the old bug when he was young. He was not interested in the identity of "partner of justice".
Moreover, even the ideals of Old Bug, Emiya Kiritsugu and Emiya Shirou can only benefit one side at most and cannot change the world.
As long as people are alive, the world will always be like this.
What has changed are just some forms.
Even if the form and disguise have changed, they are still the same things at heart.
"Hey, Iskandar, your wish is to obtain a physical body and stay in this world to fulfill your wish, right?"
"Yes."
Although I was surprised as to why Jianchen Jianchen knew that.
But Iskandar had nothing to be ashamed to admit, so he answered the other party's questions frankly.
This answer was obviously beyond Weber's acceptance.
He stood up anxiously and shouted:
"Shouldn't your wish be to conquer the world? You are the King of Conquerors!"
"Okay, shut up first."
It was getting late, and Jianchen Matou knew that his sister would not go to bed obediently if he didn't go back to his room, so he didn't want to waste time.
He interrupted Weber and made a condition to Iskandar:
"Although I participated in the Holy Grail War, my wish was fulfilled the moment I became a Master, which means I don't need the Holy Grail."
"That broken cup can't fulfill many wishes, but it can fulfill the wishes of the Masters and Heroic Spirits who participated in this Holy Grail War."
"It is true that even if you try hard to plant flowers, they may not bloom, but if you plant willows by accident, they will grow into shade trees."
"Now, I will show you the container of the Holy Grail, and then tell you the current nature of the Holy Grail. If you don't mind, the Holy Grail will belong to you tomorrow."
After saying this, Jianchen Matou waited for Iskandar's answer.
"..." Iskandar, who was ready to die, heard the news and then confirmed calmly that he had not heard it wrong.
I was stunned for a moment.
Is something like the Holy Grail so easy to obtain?
I participated in this Holy Grail War, but apart from watching King Arthur backstab the Master and the magician in front of me fighting Diarmuid, I didn't fight any tough battles.
Are you about to obtain the Holy Grail?
As a Westerner, Iskandar doesn't believe in the saying "A gentleman does not eat food given out of pity".
He picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea in it cleanly. He even chewed the brewed tea leaves into powder in his mouth before nodding and saying:
"Good. Then let's go and see the true nature of the Holy Grail."
……
……
Then the group walked to the basement.
It was a moonlit night with sparse stars. Jian Tongjian and his companions were walking on the stairs leading to the basement. The stairs, which had been built at some unknown time, made a noise.
The upper limit of the time it took to build the stairs is five hundred years, and the lower limit is at least several dozen years.
This is what Jianchen Jianchen asked Jiantong Kariya.
The two of them were in the basement at the time. When they were going out, Matou Kariya heard the sound of stairs and suggested that they renovate the basement.
After all, the Matou family is not short of money, and Matou Kenshin is not short of time.
No one in the entire Matou family needs to work to make a living.
Matou Kenshin rejected Matou Kariya's suggestion because he felt that the old-fashioned staircase was quite attractive.
Weber obviously didn't think so. Although he was a magician, he was also fragile. The height of the stairs was such that he wouldn't die from the fall but would break his bones, which made Weber a little scared.
Especially after he felt that his Servant, Iskandar, was dangerously heavy.
Fortunately, there were no near misses along the way.
The group arrived safely in the basement, and led by Kenshin Matou, they found the second generation Holy Grail container after Mrs. Irisviel.
——A chamber pot from a long time ago, which might have been used by Matou Zouken.
"..."
After a brief silence, Matou Kenshin, who was responsible for the current state of the Holy Grail container, spoke up: "Um... it's a bit shabby, but... this..."
"It's the Holy Grail after all, isn't it?"
"Just think of it as gold from a cesspool. It can still be used after washing."
Waver covered his mouth, his expression not improving much at all because of Matou Kenshin's explanation. Instead, he retorted without any human touch:
"It's even more disgusting once you explain it."
In response to this, Jian Tong Jian Chen did not respond directly, but changed the subject and said: "Just tell me whether you want it or not! If you don't want it, there are plenty of people who do!"
"My father-in-law, the current head of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Tokitoki, is very eager for the Holy Grail. Not to mention that this chamber pot doesn't look very dirty, even if it is filled with yellow stuff, Tohsaka Tokitoki can still lift it up with a smile and give it a big kiss."
Having said that, Kenshin Matou was not sure what kind of behavior Tōsaka Tokitoki would have, or what expression would be on his face when he saw the Holy Grail container in this state.
After all, Toosaka Tokitoki has maintained his elegance for decades, and is about to fulfill the long-cherished wish of successive heads of the Toosaka family. When these two things collide, which one will prevail?
Perhaps Tousaka Tokitoki himself does not have the answer to this question.
Kenshin Matou's explanation did make sense, but looking at the Holy Grail container in front of him, Waver found it difficult to speak and say the word "want".
Iskandar had no scruples:
"Tell me about the nature of the Holy Grail."
He stroked his chin, and was troubled by this question.
Iskandar, who suffered a loss in the "Endless Sea", was more interested in the authenticity of the Holy Grail than the trivial matter that the container of the Holy Grail was a chamber pot.
Otherwise, if the thing you have worked so hard to obtain turns out to be useless to you, even a heroic spirit will be devastated.
Miss Altria, who had been broken once, demonstrated this point to Kenshin Matou using her own personal experience, so Kenshin Matou expressed his understanding of Iskandar's problem.
"Don't worry about that. Although the Holy Grail has been contaminated by the last Holy Grail War, your wish to obtain a physical body and remain in the world can still be fulfilled."
About the last Holy Grail War, why the Holy Grail was contaminated, and what the hell the contaminated Holy Grail is.
Kenshin Matou doesn't quite understand it.
He only knew the reason, but not the specific process, nor did he know the composition of the contaminated Holy Grail.
These things require very professional knowledge.
Kenshin Matou, who is obsessed with the puppet in the simulator, has always been at a level where he knows the Holy Grail War will end in his hands but does not know why.
But for today, in order to explain to Iskandar and fulfill his duty as a good host, he had to make up for it with great effort.
Combining the information he knew, he had a good conversation with Mrs. Irisviel.
Finally I understand the general idea.
After explaining his understanding to Iskandar and Waver, Jianchen Matou looked forward to their choice.
Either choose to accept the Holy Grail or reject it.
Jianchen Jiantong had no objection.
Although this broken cup was already in his pocket, the stingy Jianchen Matou was so generous with this cup.
"So, do you still want to use the Holy Grail to fulfill your wish of obtaining a physical body, Iskandar?"
"Uh……"
The dense information was overwhelming even for the King of Conquerors, who was a Heroic Spirit.
It's also something you need to think about carefully for a while.
However, he did not have much time to think, as his rich life experience had made Iskandar make too many choices.
Some of these choices won him victory and glory.
Some made him lose his soldiers, and his companions with whom he had feasted, sung and danced, ridden on horseback to kill the enemies, and laughed and suffered together.
Various choices will have different outcomes.
Iskandar regretted it, but after regretting it, he no longer regretted it.
"Is this what the Holy Grail is?"
He muttered to himself, then turned to face Waver, his Master of this Holy Grail War.
"I have lost interest in the Holy Grail, boy, do you have any wishes that you would like to fulfill?"
Iskandar gave up.
The choice was made quickly, and it was not the difficult decision in pain that Weber had imagined.
Iskandar's current appearance is no different from usual.
The way he gave up was like he was fighting with himself for the remote control, and finally gave up watching the military channel and started watching the news with himself.
The King of Conquerors' behavior had always puzzled Waver.
But now, compared to guessing the thoughts of his servants, Waver is more interested in the Holy Grail.
This is a universal wishing machine!
Although it is polluted, and although the wishes that can be realized are all within my own cognition, but...
It's still a wishing machine!
"If I can get a wish just by being polluted, it's a good deal, right?"
"If I could choose, there would be countless magicians who would want to have such an opportunity. I should be no exception, right?"
Weber could not resist the temptation of the Holy Grail, even though he knew that there would be significant side effects after making a wish.
But what does that matter?
There are so many things that have side effects. If you punch the enemy, your hand will also be injured.
He made a decision.
He wanted to tell Kenshin Matou his answer.
His eyes met his Servant's.
He said to Jianchen Matou:
"nausea!"
"It's so disgusting! No one would choose such a disgusting cup, and it has such serious side effects. It's so disgusting..."
Weber's voice became quieter and quieter, and his body movements became faster and faster.
He walked out of the basement, and Iskandar followed him.
Jianchen Jianchen kicked the broken chamber pot and followed.
late at night.
The moon reached its fullest moment.
Both Waver and Iskandar were looking at the moon.
Kenshin Matou did not accompany them. His sister and Miss Rin were waiting for him in his room.
Before he had gone far, Iskandar's voice reached his ears.
That is:
"Happy birthday, kid!" (End of this chapter)
