That boy couldn't possibly have an EX-rank [Social Skills] stat and an EX-rank [Cooking] stat too, could he?
That was obviously impossible!
Tamamo no Mae looked at the names on the tablet in her hand and said, "Besides you, Tohsaka Rin, Julian, and the others also recommended him. You really didn't discuss this beforehand?"
"No, we didn't!"
Ilya hurriedly shook her head.
But she silently committed those names to memory.
Tamamo no Mae smiled warmly. "Since all of you recommended him so strongly, then so be it."
Just an ordinary boy. Let's see how he'll act when facing Servants.
He'll probably be so frightened that he'll be too timid to do anything.
If he has what it takes, let him win over the Servants and make a whole group of them fight over him!
"Thank you, Dean Tamamo!"
Ilya hurriedly stood up, bowed, and thanked her.
Out of the hundreds of thousands of people in Fuyuki Academy City, being chosen as the ordinary-person representative was an immense honor.
She hadn't even imagined she would succeed.
After leaving the administration building.
Ilya trotted away, wanting to tell him the good news as soon as possible.
Ding-dong~
She pressed the doorbell. Her little face was flushed from overexertion, and her flat chest heaved violently.
The door opened.
Wei Gong, wearing a panda apron tied around his waist, greeted her in surprise. "Yo, Ilya. You're here early today. I've already prepared dinner. Go wash your hands and eat."
"Brother Wei Gong, I have an incredible surprise to tell you!"
Ilya took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.
"Oh? Translate what you mean by 'surprise.'"
Wei Gong pretended to be surprised.
The little girl had told him before that she would give him a surprise, and he had been looking forward to it.
Now, it seemed that promise was finally being fulfilled.
The little girl before him was a bona fide rich heiress. Could she be giving him a 3080 Ti gas stove?
Ilya lifted her flushed little face and smiled sweetly. "The surprise is—congratulations! You've been chosen as the student representative to receive the Servants!"
Wei Gong's ceramic spoon suddenly fell to the floor, producing an exceptionally crisp shattering sound.
An elegant smile like the Tohsaka family's ancestral creed appeared on his face.
He lowered his head, pretending to remain calm, and looked at the little girl. "Um, I don't think I heard you clearly just now. Sorry for the trouble, but could you translate that surprise again?"
His ears must have malfunctioned!
He was an ordinary person. How could he possibly have been chosen as the student representative to receive the Servants?
"The surprise is that, three days from now, you'll be the ordinary-student representative receiving the Servants!"
Ilya's smile grew even brighter.
Just as she had expected.
Even though the boy was always incomparably calm and composed before her, remaining unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he would still lose his composure instantly when faced with such an enormous surprise.
Look, the surprise had even made him drop his spoon!
Ilya let out a sigh of relief.
Ever since their first meeting, she had felt that he was inexplicably familiar, as though fate had brought them together across past and present lives.
That was why she had shamelessly come over to freeload meals.
After freeloading meal after meal and being stuffed full by him every time, she had always wanted to repay him.
Now, she could finally return the favor.
Once she repaid him, she could continue freeloading meals openly and righteously.
She could even find a time to move in and live with him!
Whenever Ilya imagined him gently waking her every morning, preparing a delicious breakfast, and going to school with her, she couldn't help envying her best friend.
And even feeling a little jealous.
Such a wonderful life. It made her want to insert herself between the two of them.
Ilya excitedly took credit. "Today, I met Dean Tamamo no Mae and recommended you to her in person!"
"Three days from now... student representative... receiving Servants..."
Wei Gong suddenly felt an unreal, dreamlike sensation.
Looking at the adorable face of the little angel before him, he suddenly felt like crying.
What had he done to deserve you recommending me like this?!
This was a little angel?
She was clearly a little devil wearing an angel's appearance!
He had been doing his best to avoid the Servants and enjoy the ordinary life of an ordinary high school student.
He had traversed six thousand years of Human History from top to bottom and protected countless Servants. His mission as a savior was already complete.
Why did they have to shatter his peaceful daily life?
Was this part of your plan too, Alaya?
Wei Gong sensed an undisguised malice. It was clearly—
The entire world was targeting him!
At that moment,
Luo Ya also ran over barefoot from inside the house. Looking at the shattered spoon, she asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"Brother Wei Gong was so surprised because he became the student representative to receive King Arthur, Mordred, and the King of Heroes!"
Ilya repeated herself once more.
Such an enormous piece of good news naturally deserved to be repeated again and again.
"Ahhh! Why wasn't it me?!"
Luo Ya instantly let out a marmot-like shriek and clung to Wei Gong's arm. "You have to take me with you! This is my lifelong dream!"
King Arthur and the King of Heroes were her favorite Servants.
The posters in her room even featured the two of them.
Whenever she bought lottery tickets, she would first worship the King of Heroes and ask him to bless her luck.
"How about I give it to you?"
Wei Gong smiled with extreme reluctance, practically on the verge of tears.
He truly didn't care about this opportunity.
Forget receiving Servants—he had even teased them countless times.
He especially loved watching those people look as if they wanted to beat him up, yet were completely unable to do so, their frustration written all over their faces.
But things were different now.
Those people could really beat him up!
What if King Arthur and Mordred staged another round of fatherly love and filial devotion?
If he rushed over to stand between them, he would truly be volunteering to die out of malice!
Because this time, he didn't have a resurrection armor.
When people were killed, they really died!
"Ahhh, but I wasn't chosen!" Luo Ya said jealously, wanting to bite him.
She really wanted to switch places with him. She was so envious!
Wei Gong casually grabbed her by the back of the neck and moved her aside before saying to Ilya, "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. As long as you're satisfied!" Ilya smiled sweetly.
With this huge surprise, she could freeload meals every day with a clear conscience.
What bliss!
After she entered the living room and sat on the sofa to wait for dinner.
Wei Gong cleaned up the fragments on the floor, poured them into the trash can, and began thinking about how to deal with this matter.
With his current strength, he wasn't strong enough to fight three Servants at once.
Then he would have to start playing the vertical-and-horizontal game.
After the video of the Oldest King had been exposed earlier, Golden Flash should remember his past memories and would definitely regard him as his most important Dear Friend.
Next, he only needed to contact Golden Flash ahead of time and cling to that pleasure-seeking eccentric's leg.
With Golden Flash's power, he could get through this crisis for the time being.
Perfect!
Just then, his phone rang.
After answering, he asked in confusion, "Miss Rin, what do you want with me?"
"To deliver the surprise I mentioned before."
Tohsaka Rin paused, then replied in an aloof tone, "I recommended you as the student representative to receive the Servants, and it succeeded."
"...Thank you so much!"
Wei Gong felt his temples twitching violently.
Good grief, could this be the three consecutive surprises you mentioned earlier?
I clearly helped you out of kindness. Why did you have to repay my kindness with hostility?
"Hmph. You're welcome. Now we're even!"
Tohsaka Rin gave a soft snort.
Recently, he had been appearing in her dreams more and more often, and he kept making her unable to resist observing him secretly.
She had to use this recommendation to settle everything once and for all and completely restore her original aloof young-lady demeanor!
"..."
Wei Gong stared at the phone after the call ended, utterly speechless.
Miss Rin, this is clearly repaying kindness with hostility. How could we possibly be even?
The moment he hung up, another person called.
The other party bluntly said, "Wei Gong, call me Dad!"
"Get lost! What the hell do you want?"
Before you continue
