"August, go get ready. I heard that in this country there is a custom of visiting neighbors after moving to a new home, so let's..."
August, who instantly understood what his eldest lady meant, also hurriedly responded and resigned.
"Hi, I understand."
After feeling that the person who had been peeking at him disappeared, Shinji probably guessed that it was related to the Second Magician who had been tricked by his oral pleasure.
"Really, you are angry with a child. What kind of adult are you? You have no sense of courage at all."
Shinji couldn't help but shake his head, but in his heart he felt quite sorry for the golden bread roll that came to his door... it was quite embarrassing.
You said that if the other party insisted on giving it to you for free, would you accept it happily? Or should I pretend to refuse first and decline in the end, but then accept it?
This is really a subject that I can't figure out~
Wrong...
Shinji suddenly thought of something again. When I read the Mahou Soju Illya comic in my previous life, it was actually revealed that this young lady witnessed Shirou high jumping!
So has the world seen it?
Probably... no?
"Master..."
The fire of revolution failed to start a prairie fire, but was extinguished by the high-pressure Water Gun. Rider, who did not even leave a spark behind, came to Shinji.
Knowing that Rider had also discovered something, Shinji smiled easily and said, "Don't worry, your mission has not changed. The mission I gave you before was to eliminate all Magecraft divisions who are close to Sakura and have other purposes. This time, they are probably coming for me, so don't worry about it."
Seeing his Master's completely nonchalant look, Rider silently nodded in agreement.
"Brother~"
Shinji switched to his usual expression and looked at Sakura, who was running towards her, and asked, "Sakura, how did that happen?"
"Everyone has been notified except for Mr. Gil, but for a banquet with so many people, the required ingredients alone cannot be prepared by just one person..."
Looking at Sakura who looked a little worried, Shinji smiled gently and then stood up slowly.
"Don't worry, let my brother take care of the cooking and other things. And I believe... he will be very happy to help."
"Him?" Sakura tapped her chin with her index finger and tilted her head, "Does it mean Emiya Senpai?"
"Hmm..." Shinji held his chin and raised his face and thought for a moment. His sister's guess was really not wrong, so he didn't know whether to deny or confirm it at the moment.
"Well, don't worry anyway, he will be at home before the afternoon to help prepare."
After saying this with a smile, Shinji picked up the prepared fishing gear and went out.
"Ahh~ Where should I hire the chef for the banquet?"
At ten o'clock in the morning, it was still the familiar pier. Shinji found a fishing position next to Red A's fishing position and couldn't help but sigh.
Red A sneered inwardly, Shinji Matou was planning to hold a party before the start of school, and Sakura informed Rin on the phone in the morning.
I won't participate. Once I do, I will be interrogated by the eyes of Shinji Matou and that Golden Flash guy. I don't want to bear that feeling!
That's why I go fishing in the name of patrolling. Even if I fish for a whole day, I won't go to that kind of banquet! Absolutely not!
"By the way, are you interested in serving as a guest chef at the banquet?"
Looking at Shinji who stared at him with his eyes bent and smiling, Red A snorted and refused without thinking.
"Not interested!"
"The wages are good, and they're not low."
Red A sneered and said disdainfully, "Shinji Matou, don't think that I am the same as Rin. Those little tricks of yours are of no use to me!"
"Really?" Shinji's face showed a bit of distress, but then he took out his mobile phone from his pocket as if he had thought of something, "Let me ask Tohsaka..."
Hearing this, Red A's face suddenly darkened. He knew the Master of his family best. If he hadn't taken the initiative to mention and take up the patrol task, she might have kicked him out and asked him to do odd jobs!
Looking at the corners of Shinji's mouth that slightly turned up, Red A also figured out that the other party was just here for him! The other party thinks that he has been defeated!
Listening to Shinji's unhurried dialing sound, Red A wanted to yell out MMP, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.
"Okay, I agree to help, no need to look for Rin anymore."
Seeing Red A resisting the urge to curse and reluctantly agreed, Shinji also quickly made a look of gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Archer! You are just like a friend of mine who would risk his own life to help someone in need without expecting anything in return!"
You ★★★★★!
Red A couldn't help but curse in his heart: You might as well just say that friend's name! By the way, you look like Emiya Shirou!
"The menu and the budget for purchasing ingredients are all at Sakura's place. Just go to Sakura directly after you go there."
"I understand."
Red A could only clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in response in a low voice. After putting away his fishing gear, he left angrily with a bucket without any fish.
Not long after Red A left, Golden Flash came to the pier, still cool with his trouser pockets on and looking sideways at the direction Red A was leaving with interest.
"Shinji, I have been waiting for this show for a little too long."
Shinji disagreed, still waiting quietly for the fish to bite the hook, and casually replied, "Gilgamesh, don't you think this process is more interesting compared to a predetermined ending? Or are you an impatient person?"
"The king's patience is beyond the imagination of a mortal like you!"
"Then why are you in such a hurry?" Shinji curled his lips, and then asked, "By the way, are you interested in holding a banquet at my house tonight?"
"Let the king attend the same banquet with those miscellaneous cultivators? You are getting bolder and bolder! Shinji!"
Shinji shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart: If you can, don't show up tonight! Do you dare to swear that you are a puppy? Do you dare!
"I'm hooked, I'm hooked!"
The fishing line fluttered, and Shinji also hurriedly got up. The newbie who was a diver in a fishing bar in his previous life, this moment is truly exciting!
Finally... finally caught a big fish weighing more than two kilograms!
"Gilgamesh, do you want to compare?"
"Ho? Yes! The king will gladly accept the challenge from his ministers!"
With that said, Golden Flash summoned a set of high-end fishing gear from his treasures that should have just been bought from the store with the tags still on it. It seemed that he was well prepared.
During the selfless competition between the two, dusk fell unknowingly. Shinji, who was defeated by Golden Flash by half a kilogram in weight, finally gave in and left with the heaviest two kilograms of sea fish he had caught.
Golden Flash, who stayed where he was, looked at Shinji's leaving figure and thought about it for a moment. Should he go or go to the banquet that he rejected today?
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shinji was speechless for a while when he saw Golden Flash on the Saber bar who had arrived in advance as soon as he appeared in his yard on time.
Don't you disdain attending such a banquet full of miscellaneous cultivators?
"Archer! Why are you here? You can't tell me, right?"
Looking at Red A who was wearing an apron and carefully arranging dishes, Rin, who was invited, showed a bit of surprise and asked.
"During the day, I happened to be looking for a chef for the banquet on the street, but I didn't expect Mr. Archer to volunteer..."
Looking at Shinji who was explaining for him, Red A wanted to deny it, but when he saw the surprised expression on his Master's face, which seemed like "My Servant is finally sensible enough to find a job and make money to worry about Master", he swallowed the words in his mouth.
"Not bad, not bad! Keep up the good work!" Rin gave Red A a thumbs up, and then put it next to Shinji's ear, "Just give me the salary directly in a while. By the way, this is Servant. The appearance fee is not compared with that of ordinary chefs. It doesn't matter what you do..."
"Well, don't worry, I'm famous for being generous! Right? Emiya?"
"Huh?" Shirou, who wanted to break up the fight (Golden Flash and Saber) but didn't know what to say, was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and affirmed. "Shinji is indeed quite generous... in every sense."
Looking at Red A who was back in the kitchen and carefully cooking the seasonings, Shinji said half-jokingly, "By the way, your Servant's cooking skills are really good, and he is also very serious about housework. Why don't you just let me hire him? How about a monthly salary of... seven figures?"
Huh?!
When Rin heard this, she felt sleepy instantly. Although she felt that her Servant was working for Shinji, there was a strange feeling, but she also thought of seven figures...
"One more... one more digit..."
Looking at Rin who raised his index finger tremblingly, Shinji shook his shoulders slightly and said, "Forget it, it's over the budget, and the gain outweighs the loss. Just pretend that I didn't say what I just said."
Rin instantly became unhappy and hurriedly followed Shinji.
"Wait a minute! If it starts with nine... no, seven-digit numbers starting with eight are also negotiable!"
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it, I prefer Sakura's cooking, right? Sakura?"
"Yeah!"
Sakura, who was helping at the side, also bent her eyes and smiled gently, feeling relieved in her heart. Her brother couldn't eat food made by people of unknown origins. He could only eat food made by himself!
Also relieved was Red A who was making barbecue. After all, he was really afraid that Rin would sell him to the Matou Family! If you sell it here, it's really over!
"This body is made of a kitchen knife!"
"You are a soup stock, but your heart is a chef!"
"Cross countless kitchens and remain invincible!"
"I have never been defeated, and I have no confidant!"
"He often stands alone in the kitchen, intoxicated with cooking!"
"Therefore, his life is already full of meaning!"
"This body has become Unlimited Meal Works!"
Listening to Shinji's words while watching Red A cooking, Rin frowned and said, "What are you talking about? What kind of poem is this? It really doesn't make sense."
"Hahaha, I'm just impressed by the cooking skills of your chef... ahem, Servant, so I just thought of it. I just think about it as I like."
Bang!!
After slamming the kitchen knife into the chopping board, Red A looked at Shinji coldly and said, "Please don't disturb my thoughts by talking while others are cooking. If you can, get out now!"
"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault, I disturbed you."
Shinji smiled and apologized, then exited the kitchen.
"Archer, are you so angry when someone influences you while cooking?" Rin supported her chin and nodded, analyzing, then waved to Red A, "Then I won't bother you anymore, come on~"
Seeing Rin leaving with Shinji, Red A was really a little bit unbearable at the moment, and even came up with the idea of forgetting it (killing Shirou) and going back (Throne of Heroes)!
The incantation Shinji just muttered... Even if it is changed, I will not be mistaken. This is my own incantation Unlimited Blade Works.
I have never used it myself!
