Chapter 91, a King’s appetite!

Before Sola-Ui could answer, Artoria stepped in front of her, her emerald eyes radiating a dangerous gaze like a lion pouncing on its prey, staring intently at Noah.

“Sola-Ui! Watch out!!”

Although the young man in front of them wore a moon-white kimono and looked like a refined and handsome young man, the moment Artoria saw him, every muscle in her body instinctively tensed.

The battle instinct honed from countless battles was resonating throughout Artoria’s body like a roaring bell.

This individual is dangerous!

“What?”

“Riveria?”

A scream, but it wasn’t from the blocked Sola-Ui, but from Noah.

This crisp yet somewhat authoritative voice was etched into Noah’s very bones.

There’s no mistake!

Exactly the same as Riveria!

From childhood to adulthood, Noah’s literacy, combat skills, and almost every aspect of his life were developed through a wild, self-taught process.

The only Teacher who had ever disciplined him was Riveria.

That devilishly strict month-long teaching left a deep impression on Noah.

Whenever Riveria’s voice became slightly stern, Noah would instinctively feel his scalp tighten, frantically searching for any mistakes he might have made.

Even after a year in the new world, this instinct hadn’t faded.

Rather, hearing Riveria’s voice again in a completely unexpected situation made Noah feel even more terrified!

And so, the atmosphere in the claw machine room immediately froze,

Sola-Ui looked at Noah, Noah looked at Artoria, and Artoria frowned warily.

Riveria?

Who’s that?

After fruitless thought, Artoria decided to ignore it, considering it an Enemy’s trick.

“Who are you?”

After scanning the Blonde-haired Girl in a black suit from head to toe, confirming that it was just a voice resemblance, Noah finally sighed in relief.

“I am very sorry, I just mistook you for someone else.”

However, although it wasn’t Riveria, the Déjà Vu brought by this voice was still too strong.

He wondered if he’d feel a sense of guilt, like he was going to beat up his Teacher, when they fought.

Thinking of that scene, a sense of guilt welled up in Noah’s heart… along with excitement.

Thinking of this, Noah’s face regained its composure.

“I am Noah Cipher, I have descended as a Berserker in this Holy Grail War, it’s a pleasure to meet you both.”

Both Artoria and Sola-Ui’s faces showed horror at this moment.

“No way, he’s clearly so handsome!”

“Berserker? He can actually speak so rationally?”

After saying that, both fell into silence, looking at each other.

Faced with Artoria’s gaze that mixed helplessness with a hint of disdain, Sola-Ui nervously averted her eyes.

Is she another Guinevere?

Looking at Sola-Ui, Artoria immediately thought of the wife who caused her kingdom to fall into chaos.

Although blaming the downfall of a vast kingdom on a single woman is truly cowardly, Artoria’s feelings were still quite complex.

However, with a great enemy before her, Artoria couldn’t afford to dwell too much on whether this backup Master was just a lovesick fool or truly unfaithful.

For Artoria, who had someone to protect at this moment, Berserker was undoubtedly the last opponent she wanted to see.

If Sola-Ui got hurt, even if she defeated the opponent, she would likely face Kenneth’s severe reprimand.

It’s really giving me a headache.

But Artoria knew that the more she worried, the less she could let the enemy find out.

Therefore, instead of retreating, she advanced, channeling her Mana, her Fighting Spirit surging as she approached Noah.

“So, what do you want? If you want to fight, I’m ready!”

Ignoring Artoria’s advance, Noah silently walked towards the claw machine, inserting coins and starting to operate it.

“Miss, you wouldn’t want your Master to suffer from a Shockwave Effect during battle, would you?”

Struck at her weak point, Artoria couldn’t help but grit her teeth, feeling frustrated.

But looking at Noah, who had his back turned to her, she couldn’t sense any danger.

“Sola-Ui, can you see the Ability Value?”

Although inheriting the Magic Crest Failure, Sola-Ui at least came from a prestigious Magecraft family at the Clock Tower, so this level of Magecraft Ability was naturally not a problem.

“Strength C, Endurance C, Agility B, Mana B-, Luck A+… No, this guy gives me a very dangerous feeling, he’s definitely more than this level!”

Especially that Luck A+, it’s really troublesome.

Luck is a value with a very vague and ambiguous application range, most of the time used to evade long-range Noble Phantasm’s Offensive Arts.

And the so-called + means that in an instant, it can double the value, a rare parameter.

If A+ luck kicks in at a critical moment, it could potentially nullify some Noble Phantasms known for their guaranteed hits.

However, the battle-hardened Artoria felt that this vague category was likely far more troublesome than its literal meaning suggested.

“Master, can you hear me? I’m having a problem here!”

Taking advantage of the opponent’s attention seemingly focused on the claw machine, Artoria quickly contacted Kenneth, who was still stationed at the Hyatt Hotels, through the special connection with her Master.

Upon learning about Noah’s stats, Kenneth first let out a sigh of relief, but then a thought emerged…

“Heh, is this a provocation from a country bumpkin Magus?”

In Kenneth’s view, so-called Servants were merely a group of tools, lacking any will of their own.

Artoria could sense this from Kenneth’s tone, but she chose to silently ignore it.

“Master, what should we do now? Should we cover Miss Sola-Ui’s retreat?”

Just as Kenneth was still hesitating, Sola-Ui interjected into the conversation.

Although she couldn’t hear the discussion between Artoria and Kenneth, she could guess a few things.

“Wait, the other side hasn’t directly launched any Offensive Arts; perhaps they have something to say to us? Just running away like this would be a bit too embarrassing.”

Although Sola-Ui spoke with righteous indignation, Artoria could see something extremely dangerous and fiery in her gaze directed at Noah.

Is that your way of maintaining the Family’s dignity?

Your intentions are as clear as day ── lusting after someone, despicable!

Yet in that instant, Artoria couldn’t help but recall the dread instilled by the love-struck folly.

Alas, when she wished to advise, Kenneth had already issued his command.

“Good, let’s not run away at the sight of battle. We wouldn’t want people to think the Achibald family are all cowards. Saber, protect Sola-Ui. Since they dare to come to us, let’s see what tricks they have up their sleeve.”

If you really want to protect Sola-Ui, then don’t send me to face them!

Running away is the real plan!

To knowingly approach someone with ill intent ── is that not akin to delivering oneself to them?

My head hurts, what kind of teammates are these!

Artoria, knowing Kenneth’s temperament, bit her tongue and weighed the option of objection in her mind,

“But, Master, this Servant feels extremely dangerous to me. Even if they are a weak Servant, for Sola-Ui’s safety, may I handle this individually?”

Before Kenneth could respond this time, Sola-Ui’s gaze shifted from Noah to Artoria.

“Hah? What do you mean? Is the pride of the Sophia family not pride at all?”

……Silence!

Sensing the warning in Sola-Ui’s eyes, Artoria could only sigh and quietly close her mouth.

This unwed couple, indeed, are both arrogant and overbearing at heart ── no wonder they ended up together.

Artoria suddenly felt anxious about the prospects of this Holy Grail War.

“In that case, Sola-Ui, you deal with it for now. I’ll be right there by your side.”

As Kenneth ended the call and Sola-Ui broke into a smile, Noah, who had been operating the crane game, turned around as well, arms full of plush toys.

“Finished talking to your Master, not planning to make a run for it, are you?”

Indeed, the way he turned his back to her ── it was clearly intentional!

Although Sola-Ui’s love-struck idiocy was a headache, Artoria still fulfilled her duty, standing in front of Noah.

“Then, what is your purpose? You might as well show your hand now!”

Artoria wished the opponent would just launch an offensive spell, then she could draw her sword and fight, instead of wracking her brain over defenses.

Yet, Noah’s gaze seemed to see through her thoughts, approaching with no guard at all.

“What purpose? If I must say, it’s just to have a little chat with you all.”

“Huh?”

“We’re all from different eras, even different worlds. If we just meet and start fighting, wouldn’t that be boring? Why not sit down and chat about our past experiences, and then enjoy the beauty of this era? Here, these dolls are my little welcome gifts for you two.”

This guy, does he even know what he’s saying?

The Holy Grail War is a life-or-death, bloody battle, you know?

You think this is a field trip?

Besides, what’s the difference between talking about our past and revealing our True Names?

In the Holy Grail War, information has a huge impact on the battle.

A Servant’s True Name, Attribute, and Noble Phantasm can all affect the outcome of the war.

And King Arthur’s fame is very high, giving her name is basically the same as exposing her Class and Noble Phantasm.

Artoria naturally didn’t want to take those dolls.

Who knows if there’s some special Magecraft on them?

Or maybe the effect of some Noble Phantasm?

But looking at Sola-Ui’s expression beside her, Artoria knew that if she didn’t take them, Sola-Ui would probably just grab them herself.

She’d better do it herself.

After all, who told her she was a ManaA?

Helpless, Artoria could only cautiously take the dolls from Noah, examine them, and then hand them to Sola-Ui.

Although Sola-Ui was the one who first showed interest in the doll machine, she was only interested in the machine itself, not the dolls inside.

Kenneth had given her many things, such as precious gems, luxurious jewelry, gorgeous dresses, and a giant rose wreath weighing several kilograms, but he had never given her anything girlish.

But even though Sola-Ui didn’t like Kenneth that much, she never blamed him for this, because even she herself never thought she would like these childish things.

How could the room of a Magecraft family’s daughter be filled with pink Dolls like ordinary girls?

But at this moment, holding this big pile of dolls in her arms, Sola-Ui felt a strange warmth welling up in her heart.

Burying half her face in the dolls, Sola-Ui secretly glanced at Noah.

“Th, thank you.”

As soon as she spoke, even Sola-Ui was surprised by the softness of her tone.

However, Noah didn’t pay too much attention, because he didn’t know what kind of Elf female Sola-Ui was.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter even if he knew.

What Noah valued more was this Blonde-haired Girl who could bring him a sense of threat.

“Let’s go, this…?”

“Call me Lia.”

Lia, Riveria… I have a bad feeling about this.

“All right, Miss Lia, it’s about time for lunch. How about we go grab a bite to eat and talk along the way?”

Noah had only mentioned it casually, but when he saw the stack of over ten plates, he couldn’t help but fix his grave gaze upon it.

“This child, was she never full in her past life or something?”

Artoria swiftly and elegantly polished off another large steak, then satisfactorily wiped her mouth before meeting Noah’s gaze.

“What is it, Mr. Cifer, is there something you wish to say?”

Artoria had some awareness that her appetite was unusual for a person.

But she didn’t see any issue with it; as a ruler, one must have the appetite and tolerance to match.

To Artoria’s surprise, Noah didn’t show any strange looks or silently pass over it, but instead suddenly broke into a smile.

A smile filled with fighting spirit.

“Not bad, Miss Lia, this is the first time I’ve encountered an opponent who can match me at the dining table.”

“Oh? Could it be that you also…?”

Artoria seemed to notice something in Noah’s eyes, which caused her to raise an eyebrow involuntarily.

Soon, a stack of plates of the same height was also piled up in front of Noah.

“How can you fight on an empty stomach? To become a strong warrior, you must first learn to eat, to eat diligently, and eat boldly. Don’t you think so, Miss Lia?”

Artoria then silently showed a smile as well, a smile of meeting a kindred spirit and a worthy opponent.

“From the sound of it, one would think you’ve already won. But don’t celebrate too soon. Whether it’s on the battlefield or at the dining table, I’ve never lost before! Waiter! Order!”

“Hmph! Lia, this Mapo Tofu is a specialty here, I wonder if you have the guts to try it!”

“Pfft! As if! I’m not afraid of even…potato mud, let alone tofu! Haha, haha!”

Sola-Ui chewed fiercely, and after chewing and swallowing the noodles in her mouth, she gave up on eating and glumly watched the two still eating voraciously in front of her, not even having the time to notice the increasing number of diners around.

How did it come to this?

One is my Servant, and the other is the person who gave me a pillow for the first time.

How did their relationship suddenly become so good?
