From the very beginning, Kenshin Matou knew that Gilgamesh was not someone he wanted to deal with easily.
This Mesopotamian king had different personalities at different times.
Kenshin Matou didn't want to comment on the good or bad of these personalities, but he knew that the Gilgamesh he encountered in the last Holy Grail War and this Holy Grail War was not someone he liked.
Last time, the other party was the biggest obstacle to his happy life after the death of that beastly old bug Matou Zouken.
This time, it's almost the same.
In the new type of Holy Grail War he wants to hold, it is not the Masters that are difficult to deal with, because the Masters are all his family members; it is the Servants that are difficult to deal with.
Among the servants, the most difficult one to deal with is Gilgamesh.
The others, whether it was Hercules or Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, were easier to talk to and could communicate normally.
Gilgamesh is different.
He didn't know what serious illness he had.
The kingly way is something that only a king can have. Matou Kenshin is not a king, he does not have his own kingly way, and he cannot understand Gilgamesh's kingly way.
He is just an ordinary person.
Gilgamesh knew it very well in his heart, and he knew it even better since he was the king.
"The wrath of the emperor will leave millions of dead and blood flowing for thousands of miles."
But today, Kenshin Matou wanted to add something special to Gilgamesh's kingly way, to make his kingly way more weighty.
It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.
Jianchen Matou and Gilgamesh came to an open space where no one would disturb them.
Looking at Gilgamesh floating in the air, the now-adult Swordsman Matou smiled and no longer had the idea of flying into the sky and being at the same height as Gilgamesh.
As you get older, your mindset changes.
Considering the time he spent in the simulator, he is probably already at the age of knowing the destiny. Fortunately, whether it is because of the "magic perpetual motion machine" or "open-mindedness", or because he has always been with young people, his mentality is still good and he is still very young. He does not have the old age.
But there is no bravery and aggressiveness like young people.
He looked at Gilgamesh, who was floating in the sky above him, and at the treasures floating around him, as well as at the other's eyes.
Although it sounds disgusting, Jianchen Matou felt a sense of telepathy towards the enemy in front of him for a moment.
The opponent seemed to know that he had the ability of "open-mindedness" and planned to engage him in a hand-to-hand fight, but was still hesitating.
He knew very well what the other party was hesitating about.
Gilgamesh's abandonment of mystery can indeed cause harm to him and break his defense.
but.
Gilgamesh cannot use his Noble Phantasm, but when Kenshin Matou intends to engage in close combat, Kenshin Matou can use magic.
Of course.
If he couldn't use magic, Kenshin Matou wouldn't have achieved what he has today.
If he cannot use magic because of his "open-mindedness", then not only in the magician world, but also in the real world, an ordinary killer will have a high chance of killing the current uncrowned king of Fuyuki City.
Magicians are the ones with the least moral bottom line.
If Kenshin Matou really had this defect, then his body would probably have turned to ashes by now.
This is exactly what Gilgamesh is worried about.
But he was obviously thinking too much.
Wuxia A'mon is no longer the Wuxia A'mon of the past, and now it is not just three days of separation, but more than ten years.
The current Matou Kenshin is no longer the grandson who used to be subservient to the old bug Matou Zouken.
A novice magician trembling under the terrifying power of Gilgamesh;
The Master was able to stand up with the help of Mr. Liu, Miss Altria, and Diarmuid.
He looked up at the king in the sky.
Gilgamesh, who was being stared at, felt as if he was looking at the other person at eye level.
When he knew that releasing the Noble Phantasm was useless but still wanted to throw a round of Noble Phantasms to clean the ground, the voice of Kenshin Matou slowly came in the empty night.
"Hero King, have you heard the anger of the common people?"
Chi Xiao drew his sword and pointed it at the king.
In the night, Jianchen Jianchen stood with a sword in his hand and questioned.
……
……
In the dining room of the Matou family.
Miss Medea, who was wearing a very charming purple hip skirt, seemed to be a little restless.
Although she didn't know Gilgamesh, she could still feel his strength. More importantly, the atmosphere just now and the words that Jianchen Matou said before leaving.
All of this shows that the servant who is wearing modern clothes like himself is not an easy opponent.
There are so many servants in the room, and they are all servants who favor that man.
But now he allowed that man to fight against a powerful servant alone.
This kind of thing…
Miss Medea thought it was a bit too outrageous.
She felt a little irritated and felt that she couldn't just sit there and do nothing.
But when he wanted to perform magic, he began to hesitate.
There were many people in the room, and most of them had obvious worry on their faces.
嗏
Among so many people, no one took any action.
Miss Medea knew that this was because everyone in the room trusted the man.
This was also the reason why she was upset and wanted to perform magic, but did not do so.
Because she felt that once she performed magic.
It's like losing something.
She didn't know what she lost, or rather, she knew but didn't want to know.
The irritable witch lady, after struggling in her heart, finally chose to do the same as everyone else in the room.
do nothing.
choose…
Believe in Jianchen Matou.
……
……
five minutes later.
Jianchen Matou returned to the restaurant.
He shook his head at his family members who wanted to ask something, and walked to his seat and sat down.
First, he shook the hands of Sakura and Illya beside him.
He then raised the wine glass on the table and smiled at the audience who were waiting for his speech:
"The wine is still warm, very good, very good~"
"Everyone, let's have a drink!"
Hearing this, those who could drink—Iskander, Waver, Tōsaka Tokitoki, and Matou Kariya—all stood up and gestured to Matou Kenshin.
Drink up the wine in the glass.
It is worth mentioning Miss Altria, a woman who is as brave as any man, and Mrs. Irisviel, who feels that her daughter Illya is an adult and she does not need to be a role model.
The two ladies also drank, but did not stand up.
"Ah~"
Iskandar cried out in relief.
"The wine tastes really good, but it can't compare to Gilgamesh's wine."
He looked at Jianchen Matou, obviously hinting at something.
Jianchen Jianchen sat down, and those who had stood up to drink also sat down.
He nodded and said:
"It's natural."
"The wine I prepared is one of the best wines in modern times, but it is still no match for the nectar in Gilgamesh's treasure."
He admitted that he was not well prepared, and continued:
"But there is a folk proverb that goes: If my neighbor stores grain, I store guns. My neighbor is my granary!"
"Although I don't have the skills to make wine, nor do I have the coveted treasure of the king, but I can defeat Gilgamesh, so..."
"All my things are mine, and all his things are mine too!"
"Hahahahahahaha!" After Kenshin Matou said this, Iskandar couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He said with full approval:
"Makes sense!"
"You are in line with my kingly way!" "Are you willing to become my subject and follow me to experience the beauty of the road of conquest?"
Iskandar extended an invitation.
Waver, who knew the strength of Jianchen Matou, thought this invitation was a good one.
Very unwise.
Especially now that Kenshin Matou has just defeated Gilgamesh and is in hot form.
But he also knew that this was Iskandar's character.
Moreover, Kenshin Matou is not a man without measure.
Of course, this measurement varies from person to person.
The short time they spent together made Waver realize that Jianchen Matou was very generous to those he liked, and he was even willing to spend all his money just to make his friends smile.
Coincidentally, Waver himself is someone that Kenshin Matou likes.
So does Iskandar.
As for those who are not pleasing to the eye.
The oldest hero king, the extremely arrogant Gilgamesh, has not returned to the restaurant yet.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have that ambition."
Upon hearing Iskandar's invitation, Matou Kenshin shook his head:
"In my life, I just want to live a peaceful and happy life. This hard-earned skill is only a guarantee for that goal."
"As for conquering the world, I have no interest in that."
"Really?" Iskandar nodded.
There was no surprise at Kenshin Matou's answer.
"All right."
Jian Tong Jianchen shouted and looked outside the door, and everyone followed his gaze.
Gilgamesh, who had changed his clothes and looked unhappy, staggered in and sat in his original seat.
Miss Rin looked at her Servant.
Silent.
Not to mention servants who have only been together for a few days, even servants who have been together for a month.
In the choice between Swordsman Matou and his servant, only one can survive.
Miss Rin will only choose Kenshin Matou.
Even if the long-cherished wish of the Toosaka family cannot be fulfilled.
Even if I have to face my father's disappointed look.
Miss Lin will not change her choice.
However, it is also good news for Miss Rin that the servant does not have to die.
After all, as a good sister who will always give in to her younger sister in everything, she doesn't want to give in this time.
Miss Rin really wants the right to have Kenshin Matou's virginity.
Don't want to give up.
"Well, now that everyone's contract has expired, it's time for me to talk about things."
Having said this, he paused.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gilgamesh, who he had just dealt with.
He said indifferently:
"Little Jinzi, why do you only remember the food and not the beating? Have you forgotten what you just said and what promises you made to me?"
"Do you need me to remind you again, here?"
Matou Kenshin had a wicked smile on his face, looking forward to Gilgamesh's next performance.
"Humph!"
Gilgamesh snorted coldly and said nothing.
He just opened his king's treasure quietly.
Golden ripples appeared in the air above everyone's table.
Fine wine and a golden cup emerged from it and fell steadily onto the table in front of everyone.
Seeing this, Jian Tong Jianchen nodded with satisfaction.
He drank a glass of fine wine which he had not drunk for ten years, stood up, and said to the crowd:
"You all know why I asked you all to come here, so I won't repeat it again."
"As for the explanation of the competition, let's ask the person who organized the competition to explain it to everyone."
Jianchen Matou sat down.
At his eye signal, Mrs. Irisviel stood up.
"Alala~"
Mrs. Irisviel, whose daughter has grown up, is still full of the vitality that only a young girl can have.
She looked at everyone who was looking at her and explained:
"The competition I'm going to hold is very simple, and many people have already guessed it. Yes, it's a car race."
"But it's different from what the sword minister thinks. I think that even though the Holy Grail War has changed its form, it still requires the Master and the Servant to cooperate with each other to achieve victory, which is more meaningful."
"So, the rules of the racing competition I hold are that the participants must be a combination of Master and Servant, not just the Master, or just the Player."
“Please prepare the vehicles for the competition on your own. You may use treasures, but they cannot be too over-the-top. The specific judging criteria will ultimately be based on mine.
"As for the venue of the competition, it is located on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, on the mountain surrounding the former Einzbern Castle. If you are interested, you can go visit it tomorrow morning."
"The game doesn't start until noon."
"That's all I have to say."
After finishing her explanation, Mrs. Irisviel sat down again.
Everyone had different expressions, and they were all thinking silently.
"Hey, what's your job this time?"
Knowing that Iskandar's job in the last Holy Grail War was a rider, Waver asked hopefully.
"Ah~"
Iskandar scratched his head.
With a bright smile on his face: "It's Saber!"
"what!"
Not knowing that Rider had been taken over by Medusa, Weber, who had been full of hope, began to doubt his life.
"Aaaaah, why, why is it that when I'm supposed to be fighting I'm a rider, but when I'm not supposed to be fighting I'm a saber!"
“What bad luck!”
Weber, who was speaking quietly at first, couldn't help but complain loudly because of the cruelty of reality.
The Masters who heard his words also looked at their Servants with ill intentions.
Sakura looked at Medusa with a smile on her face.
In a fight, the enchanting Medusa looks a little frail and it's obvious at first glance that she's not a good fighter.
But racing.
Thinking of her servant Sakura, she couldn't help but want to pop some champagne at halftime.
Miss Rin noticed her sister's smile and looked at Gilgamesh.
Thinking that the other party had just been taught a lesson by her man, she thought for a moment and decided not to continue speaking and rub salt into the other party's wounds.
Illya also looked at Hercules who was called into the room by Lijielit.
She felt the other person's tenderness.
So, Illya didn't say anything.
Miss Medea was silent for a while, and Miss Altria was silent with her.
Miss Altria has a contractual relationship with Kenshin Matou, and it is precisely because of the contract that she can stay in the modern era.
But that kind of relationship is not the relationship between Servant and Master.
Therefore, strictly according to the competition requirements stated by Mrs. Irisviel, she was not qualified to participate.
Miss Medea is much simpler.
She once had a Master, who was killed by her.
He also has a master now, Kenshin Matou.
only…
He had just vowed to help Swordsman Matou win the Holy Grail War.
But at the beginning, Miss Medea encountered difficulties.
She is a magician, how can she race a car? (End of this chapter)
