Looking straight at Golden Flash, although she did not call out Excalibur, she could clearly feel the tense atmosphere of Saber, who was ready to fight at any time, and Illya Golden Flash looked a little unhappy as he passed over. Shinji felt that if he didn't do something today, the store might not be able to survive.

"Well, an acquaintance of this store gave me the task of looking after the store, so I personally don't want you to fight here."

Golden Flash withdrew his gaze from Saber's face and snorted coldly, "Huh! Even now that you know the truth, are you still hoping to get Holy Grail in your heart? How stupid, Saber."

"You guy...!" Saber was instantly angered. If Shirou hadn't stretched out his hand to stop her, she would have probably rushed forward.

"Shinji, did you see that guy yesterday?"

"Huh?"

Shinji was stunned, and was also surprised that Golden Flash didn't seem to have much interest in Saber.

"Who? Angra Mainyu?"

Seeing the disapproval on Shinji's face, Golden Flash laughed without any scruples again.

"Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting! Just a mortal! Although this war did not fulfill the king's wishes and did not reach the extent that the king expected, it did help the king select a person who deserves to be controlled by the king in this world!"

"Gilgamesh, I am not your subject."

"Calling the king by his name is a privilege granted to you by the king! When you use this privilege granted by the king, you are already a minister of the king!"

There is a huge difference between this and being unreasonable! Shinji is also complaining fiercely in my heart. I want to call Gilgamesh directly. Aren't I afraid that you will fall out?! What the hell...

Saber sneered and turned on the taunting mode, "Ha! Is this how domineering you are? Archer! It's really hard to compliment!"

"It doesn't matter! Saber! Because this is the kind of king I am! I am the first and only king of this world at the beginning of the world!"

Shinji, who felt that the two of them were not going to fight and would just continue to bicker, did not pay attention to these two "kings" anymore. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Illya, who was blinking and acting cute.

After smiling softly, he lowered his body behind him and whispered in his ear, "Illya, actually, to me, you are not a lolita~"

"Eh..." The smile on Illya's face stopped for a moment, and then he puffed up his mouth and became angry, "Thief——! And... stingy! I helped you with what happened yesterday! Ryuudou Temple was the initiator of similar fluctuations as True Magic, but Einzbern took the blame for you! I took the blame for you!"

"Huh?"

Shinji was a little surprised by this kind of thing. I originally thought that I could exercise from time to time after being exposed, but I didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to take the blame.

"Wait a minute..." Shinji suddenly noticed something again and frowned. "You just said Einzbern..."

"I spilled the beans!" Illya quickly covered his mouth.

"Does that old man of yours know?"

Seeing that the other party saw through it, Illya stopped pretending to be confused, folded his hands and turned away from his face and snorted heavily, "Huh! I got it, now Ahlad still wants you to join Einzbern!"

"Really or not?"

Shinji asked subconsciously. After all, all he could think of at that moment was the beautiful cups at the other party's house that could be carved with molds anytime and anywhere.

Which man can withstand this kind of thing?

"What's wrong? Do you want to join Einzbern?"

"Just kidding, I don't like Magecraft."

"Then, tell me your research, okay?"

Looking at Illya who pouted and started to pretend to be cute again, Shinji waved his hand very ruthlessly this time. "Just asking me to write it all down in writing may take several years. It's too troublesome, so I won't do it."

"That's True Magic! One of the true miracles of this world!" Illya followed the instructions, hoping to make Shinji a little interested.

"Illya, let alone the fact that I don't have much interest in Magecraft, True Magic, let alone things that I have studied thoroughly, it is basically impossible to arouse my interest, so..."

As he spoke, Shinji lowered his head again, curled his eyes and grinned, "It's better to give up as soon as possible. Of course, it's better for your old man to turn off the power and go to bed early. What he expected has completely disappeared. Tell him that it's best not to have any special fantasies, and don't do some indifferent actions. Otherwise, it's not impossible for me to turn off the power for him personally."

"You... how do you know the power supply of Ahlad..."

Shinji did not answer. Instead, he held his chin with one hand and looked at Shirou, who was trying to persuade the increasingly noisy Saber, and breathed out softly.

"No matter how hard you struggle, it's useless. The responsibility that Einzbern imposed on itself has long since ended.

No matter how hard I struggled, I never felt beautiful. I only felt the increasingly ugly side. That old man should have known this a long time ago. For something that can no longer even be considered poignant, it would be better to exit as soon as possible.

And you, you have put aside the shackles of your family, don't you have anything you want to do? If not before, what about now? "

Illya, who was also looking at Shirou, did not refute, but fell silent.

"Also, thank you for not telling me about that matter (Sakura was once transformed into Holy Grail)."

"You're welcome, you're a good brother." Illya shook his head slowly, his expression still a little disappointed, "I really envy Sakura."

Shinji then raised his hand and shouted to Shirou, "Emiya, can you please make something to eat? In fact, I haven't eaten all day today. I'm really hungry."

"Huh? But the ingredients here..."

"Don't worry, I will pay you properly. Just treat it as working part-time to help with the business."

"Then... okay."

"Shirou! I want it too!" This is Saber arguing with Golden Flash.

"I want it too, I want it too!" This is Illya who instantly changed his face when he found the menu and flipped it, showing an excited look.

"Hi hi."

Shirou agreed a little tiredly, then looked at Golden Flash who was still mocking Saber with his arms folded, and tentatively asked Shinji: "By the way, does King Sama need it?"

"!"

Because of these words, Saber's hair stood up. After all, as the saying goes, one minister cannot serve two masters. He instantly raised his eyebrows and looked at Shirou: "Shirou! How can you call such a guy King Sama! Please take back the title you just said!"

"Hahaha! Saber, your subordinates have rebelled! Hahahahaha..." Golden Flash laughed happily.

Shirou, who was being stared at closely by Saber, rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly, "No, it has nothing to do with rebellion or anything, it's just... that..."

Shirou, who couldn't think of anything good to say after much thought, had no choice but to admit defeat in the end.

"Anyway, you two kings, Sama, would you like something to eat?"

"Huh?!"×2

Seeing Shirou who successfully aroused the hatred between the two kings with one sentence, Shinji also shook his head helplessly.

This friend's emotional intelligence is indeed a bit low. After hanging out with me for so long, I didn't expect it to be so low.

How did such a person become the harem king?

Before Shinji could finish his thoughts, Shirou could no longer hold on under the gazes of the two kings, and finally turned to Shinji for help.

"Anyway, I can just eat the omelette rice. The fried rice in it should be black pepper flavored."

With that said, Shinji turned the chair to face the hall, patted Shirou on the shoulder, and then picked up the guitar hanging on the wall next to it.

"Shh-"

Shinji made a silent gesture to the two kings in front of him, lowered his head and began to carefully tune.

"Untie your shoelaces and let your feet bathe in the sunshine under the dappled shade of the trees~"

?????(Note: Song title: The Old Man and the Sea.)

During the singing of Shinji, the two kings also stopped and sat on two tables with their backs to each other.

"Towards the distance~through the sea of clouds~pursuing the other side~"

???~

Listening to the singing coming from the crack in the store door, Rin, who had just passed by, suddenly felt that it sounded familiar. Then, without waiting for Red A, who was carrying large and small bags, to remind him, he gently opened the store door.

Seeing Rin arriving, Shirou, who was busy at the bar wearing an apron, also wiped his sweat and said hello with a smile.

"This is..."

Looking at the scene in the store, Rin was a little confused, but because of a certain person, he walked in and found a table to sit down.

As for Red A, although he didn't want to stay in the same space as Shinji and Gilgamesh, his Master had already entered, so he had no choice but to close the store door and sit down at the table chosen by Rin.

"I guess everything is on the other side of the sea?"

"Yes! This is a reward!"

Looking at the big shiny gold brick that Shining threw out, Rin was stunned for a while. It wasn't until Shinji put away the ten kilogram gold brick in an ordinary way that he came back to his senses.

It's too inhumane!

At this time, Shinji smiled and continued, "You can pay to order songs~"

"Hmm..."

Golden Flash thought of something at this time. After pondering for a moment, he took out two large gold bricks and threw them out.

"Wake."

"No... the song that only uses guitar is..."

Shinji showed a bit of embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter! I own everything in this world!"

With that said, Golden Flash produced a set of audio equipment with a golden Golden Flash shell made of pure gold.

Looking at the two gold bricks on the table, and then at the golden Golden Flash audio equipment that the other party took out, stars clearly appeared in Rin's eyes.

And all this was caught in the eyes of Red A, who even began to worry about whether Rin would be deceived because of his family income in the future.

"As long as there is accompaniment!"

Looking at Shinji who happily put away the two gold bricks, a flash of envy and jealousy flashed across Lin's face, and then she pretended not to care and said, "What, aren't you short of money?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Recently, my company has been in a bit of a difficult situation due to sanctions imposed by a domineering country. It would be nice if I could subsidize it a little bit."

With that said, Shinji also held the golden microphone, and the moment Wake's accompaniment sounded, he opened his voice immediately.

"At break of day, in hope we rise"

At dawn we wake up in hope.

"We speak your name, we lift our eyes"

We call your name, we open our eyes.

Shinji simply guessed the reason why Golden Flash clicked this song - probably because he thought this song was written about him.

After all, this guy was a little narcissistic when listening, nodding his head frequently with his eyes closed.

By the way, while singing, two acquaintances were attracted in, namely Bazett and Scylla who were passing by.

"Not bad, kid."

Immediately afterwards, Illya handed over another Black Card and ordered "Something just Like this" and "The World's Number-One Princess".

Good guy, Shinji just realized that many of the people present today are his fans.

Later, when Shinji had just finished singing, Sakura, who was about to go home after shopping with Mitsuzuri, was attracted by a familiar voice.

When he saw his brother putting away the reward very naturally, he couldn't help but ask directly.

"Brother, has our family's financial situation reached the point where we need my brother to come out and sing to maintain it?"

Hearing Sakura's complaint, Shinji was also stunned for two seconds, and then he couldn't control himself and burst out laughing.

Looking at Shinji who couldn't stop laughing, Sakura called out again, "Brother?"

Shinji then stopped laughing and said, "I'm sorry, I just feel like I haven't been this relaxed for a long time. I may have even forgotten what true relaxation feels like."

"Huh?" Sakura was confused.

"No, it's nothing."

Shinji shook his head, and then looked at Saber and Golden Flash, who were arguing about whether Shirou's omelette rice was delicious. The two people commented on it, one was "extraordinarily delicious" and the other was "appreciable."

Immediately afterwards, Shinji looked at Red A and Shirou on the other side. These two people were much more professional. Red A slowly listed (ridiculed) the shortcomings of the other party's cooking, while Shirou was taking notes in his mind while discussing his cooking experience with the other party.

Rin ate spoonful after spoonful, her mind filled with those golden bricks Golden Flash.

As for Bazett, he had eaten every last ounce of the omelette rice he ordered. Scylla was thinking about whether he should wait for the boss to come back and ask if he needed a waiter.

The last one, Illya, looked a little preoccupied just now, but now he seemed to have figured something out and excitedly shouted for desserts and cakes.

"Hmm..."

Shinji then closed his eyes and thought quietly for two seconds.

"Sakura..."

"What's wrong?"

Shinji bent his eyes, grinned with a very refreshing smile, and instantly...

"Let's go on a trip."

"Really?!"

Sakura's voice seemed a bit loud, attracting everyone in the store. At the same time, Sakura also noticed her gaffe, showing a bit of embarrassment.

"Well, I promised you after all. Let's leave tomorrow."

"Yeah!"

"No, Shinji, just skip class by yourself, do you still want to take Sakura with you?" Rin frowned and began to scold.

"It's the end of the semester soon! Shinji!" Shirou also joined in.

"The so-called life is that there are people who want to take a trip at any time and so on~"

"What kind of theory is this?" Shirou's eyes twitched.

"Anyway, I'll see you in a month! Bye! Everyone! Let's retreat! Sakura!"

Rin chased after her without thinking, "Wait for me! The mess you left (Holy Grail War) has not been dealt with yet. Why did your client run away first! Wait for me!"

Seeing the chaos, Shirou hurriedly said, "Hey! Don't chase and fight in the store. Be careful and don't..."

"Who spilled the juice on my head?! Do you want to die?! Miscellaneous cultivators!"

Red A: "Humph! It's so unbearable to look at."

Bang!

"Everyone stop!" Shirou shouted, and everyone stopped.

Seeing the omelette rice that fell to the ground after being accidentally touched by someone, Saber's stupid hair instantly fell down...

"Uh, it's none of my business!"

Shinji took the lead and ran out with Sakura...
