Mordred looked at the two speaking in riddles, somewhat baffled. "Hey, what are you talking about behind my back?!"

Yu Feng came back to his senses. "N-Nothing."

Yu Feng glanced at Artoria. It seemed guiding Artoria back onto the path of kingship would not be easy either.

Still, one thing worth noting was that Yu Feng could sense Artoria's desire to correct her own mistakes.

Perhaps because of the Fourth Holy Grail War, that idea had not taken such deep root in her. At the very least, if Artoria experienced more things like she had in the original Fifth Holy Grail War, she would eventually give up on it.

Yu Feng checked the time. Hmm, it was nearly three already. Forget it—he would not be going to class today.

It made no difference whether he went or not. He could take Little Mo around Fuyuki today instead.

"Um, Arthur, I'm planning to take Little Mo out tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

After considering it for a while, Yu Feng finally extended the invitation to Artoria.

Artoria was slightly stunned, apparently not expecting Yu Feng to invite a Servant from the opposing faction.

Still, Artoria thought deeply for a moment before saying, "I need to ask my Master first."

Yu Feng waved a hand. "What's there to ask? Shirou will definitely have class tomorrow! I'll decide for him. Come shopping with us tomorrow. Wouldn't it be good to familiarize yourself with Fuyuki? It'll help with your upcoming battles."

Artoria had not expected Yu Feng to make the decision on his own.

And Artoria also wanted to say that she had already become familiar with Fuyuki during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

But Artoria felt that if she said it, Yu Feng would definitely either refute her again or ignore her.

Artoria hesitated, then ultimately gave up struggling.

"Fine."

Yu Feng clapped his hands.

Good!

Tomorrow, he would give Little Mo and Artoria some time alone together. This mother and son—no, father and son—should have no problems with their relationship under his mediation.

The next day, Yu Feng unusually slept in for a while, only to be woken up by Little Mo soon afterward.

Rin Tohsaka seemed to have already gone to school. Yu Feng greatly admired Rin Tohsaka's diligent spirit.

Anyway, until the Holy Grail War ended, Yu Feng was temporarily planning not to go to school anymore. Temporarily, of course.

As for whether he would still go to school after the Holy Grail War ended, that would be another matter. By then, Yu Feng was not even sure whether he would still be in Fuyuki.

Maybe he would go to the Clock Tower?

Or perhaps he would not even be in this world anymore.

Note: by not being in this world, he meant wandering around other timelines, not the kind of "not being around" you were thinking of.

Yu Feng could not be bothered to work hard at Magecraft either. With the Simulator, what was the point of putting in effort?

If one day you saw that he had become lazy and greedy, there was no need to wonder why—it would all be because of the Simulator!

Heroic Spirit Life Simulation System: I really have to thank you for that.

After washing up, Yu Feng saw that Artoria was already waiting there. From the looks of it, Artoria had probably gone to ask Shirou Emiya for his opinion as well?

Needless to say, Shirou Emiya had certainly agreed without hesitation.

Just then, Bazett, who had not appeared for several chapters, slowly came down the stairs. Seeing Yu Feng apparently preparing to leave, she could not help asking, "Where are you going?"

Bazett's complexion looked much better than it had a few days ago, at least in Yu Feng's opinion.

It was just a pity about Bazett's hand. Still, it was not a major problem. The world was vast, and anything was possible. Maybe one day Bazett would find a way to recover it.

Yu Feng replied, "Going out for a walk. Are you coming?"

Not "Do you want to come," but "Are you coming?"

In the current situation, Bazett could not go outside, so asking whether she wanted to come was inappropriate at a time like this.

It could easily attract unnecessary attention, and if word reached Kirei Kotomine's ears, that would be troublesome.

But "Are you coming?" meant asking whether Bazett had any intention of going out with them. If Bazett truly wanted to go out, then with a careful disguise and some Magecraft akin to an illusion spell, she should be able to conceal herself.

Bazett shook her head. "I was just asking. I'm not planning to go out."

"I plan to stay here until the Holy Grail War ends, then return to the Clock Tower."

Yu Feng shrugged, indicating that he did not mind. Bazett could stay as long as she wanted.

Remembering something, Yu Feng said, "Oh, right. Unless something unexpected happens, Cú Chulainn really has become Kirei Kotomine's Servant."

This had already become an established fact. Yu Feng was merely mentioning it in passing; everyone understood it perfectly well.

Bazett's expression changed slightly, but she said nothing.

Yu Feng took in Bazett's expression completely.

If Yu Feng remembered correctly—

Bazett had greatly admired Cú Chulainn ever since she was little. She had finally summoned Sasaki Kojirou in the Holy Grail War, only to be stabbed in the back by Mage in the blink of an eye. Her idol had even become someone else's Servant. How could that not hurt?

Needless to say, it definitely hurt.

"Then I'll be going."

After saying goodbye, Yu Feng headed out with Artoria and Little Mo.

As they walked down the crowded streets, eyes occasionally fell upon the three of them.

It could not be helped. The three were far too good-looking; it would have been strange if no one looked.

Artoria, whose eyes had previously shone at every snack shop, had now suppressed her appetite. Little Mo, meanwhile, kept glancing at those snack shops from time to time. Yu Feng found the two of them incredibly adorable whenever food was involved.

Their thoughts were written all over their faces.

Yu Feng decided to browse around first, then take these two gluttons out to eat.

He just hoped his meager wallet could withstand the appetites of these two foodies.

With that thought, Yu Feng led them to the front of a women's clothing store.

Looking at the clothing store before him, Yu Feng suddenly felt that he might spend less on everything else today than he would on food.

Well then, I think I know exactly why Britain fell.

Yu Feng had discovered a major truth he had never noticed before.

You two ate the country into bankruptcy, didn't you!?

It was proven: Britain had two gluttons.

Britain was eaten into ruin by the two of you!

Yu Feng continued grumbling inwardly.

"Hey, are you thinking about something bad?"

At that moment, Yu Feng turned his head and saw Little Mo looking at him suspiciously. Artoria beside her was doing the same.

Yu Feng gave an awkward smile and immediately changed the subject. "How could I be? Come on, let's take a look inside. I'll pick out a few outfits for you. In this era, you should at least have some clothes that suit the times."

"Huh? What's wrong with what I'm wearing? Why buy clothes? It'd be better to..." As Little Mo spoke, she glanced at the food shop beside them.

Artoria nodded seriously. "Exactly!"

Yu Feng looked at the two with a broad smile. "Listen to me. Go inside and buy a few outfits, all right...?"

Little Mo shivered and looked around in confusion. Why did it suddenly feel a little cold?

Facing Yu Feng's smile, Little Mo somehow felt that something was wrong. In the end, she obediently nodded and walked inside.

"Arthur, let's go!" Yu Feng shifted his gaze toward Artoria.
