Konoha: The Man Who Became the Fourth Hokage

Chapter 309: Altria Arthur Pendragon

Following Iskandar's proposal, no one in the room objected, not even the arrogant Archer.

Archer booked the restaurant without hesitation and threw a large piece of gold to the restaurant owner, asking the owner to serve all the best wine and food.

The restaurant owner thought that these people were rich second-generations playing cosplay and readily agreed. After all, if you have the chance to make money, you’d be a fool not to make it.

"Oh~ This wine is clear and bright, with a strong aroma. It's obviously a top-quality wine."

Iskandar looked at the white wine that the boss brought over and opened it impatiently. He sniffed the strong aroma of the wine and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

I saw him impatiently pouring himself a glass and then drinking it in one gulp.

The ten-year-old Jiu Xing looked at Iskandar with an expression that he was enjoying a show.

After drinking a glass of strong liquor, Iskandar's eyes widened and he covered his chest with his palms as big as a palm fan. He felt a burning line of fire in his stomach rushing straight to the top of his head.

"Idiot, you dare to drink white wine like this."

Jiu Xing taunted Iskandar mercilessly.

Weber leaned over and sniffed the liquor, and immediately felt a pungent smell hitting his nose.

After a long time, Iskandar finally came to his senses, holding the bottle in his hand with a satisfied look on his face:

"What a strong drink! I have never drunk anything so strong."

"Come on, King Arthur, have a drink too."

Then he invited Saber to drink with him.

"Rider, we are in the Holy Grail War now, so it's best not to drink."

Compared to Iskandar's boldness, Saber was much calmer.

"what?"

"Are you afraid?"

"After all, including me, Gin Pika, Lancer, and Miss Xun, there are four kings here."

"It's understandable to be a little scared."

Iskandar used his dirty tricks again.

"Really? Saber, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Why are you doing this..."

Weber beside him felt somewhat helpless.

"!!!"

"King of Conquerors, can I understand this as a provocation from you?"

"In that case, I'll take it."

Saber looked at the burly man in front of her with a serious expression, as if she was facing a duel.

"Well, actually what the King of Conquerors' Master said makes sense..."

"Saber, you don't have to do this..."

Xun, who was beside Saber, was also trying to persuade Saber helplessly.

"Sir Xun, there is no need to persuade me. In my opinion, this is a challenge, a duel between knights."

Saber rejected Xun's kindness with a righteous look on her face.

What does drinking have to do with a duel between knights like you?

Xun really couldn't understand the train of thought of Saber, King Arthur.

"Don't worry about them. Drink as much as you want."

Jiu Xing watched the fun from the sidelines and shouted to the waiter outside the door:
"boss!"

"Give them two more boxes, no, four boxes of white!!!"

Listening to Jiu Xing's words that added fuel to the fire, Archer also gave Jiu Xing an approving look.

"Since you two are so interested, I will take this as a prize."

"As a reward for the winner."

A circle of golden ripples rose in Archer's hand, and an exquisite cup made entirely of gold appeared in his hand.

"This is!"

"Is it possible..."

Saber and Rider exclaimed at the same time.

"Yes, this is the Holy Grail you are fighting for."

"I have already said that all treasures in the world belong to me. Do you think I am just bragging?"

Rather than saying that the golden cup in Archer's hand is the Holy Grail, it is better to say that it is the prototype of the Holy Grail.

"it is good!"

"Since Archer is so generous, it would be unkind of me not to drink it."

Seeing this, Iskandar agreed without hesitation.

"I can't lose, King of Conquerors!"

Saber's emerald eyes were full of fire, and she agreed immediately.

"Drink, drink, I want to see what the Heroic Spirit looks like when he's drunk."

Jiu Xing looked at the two of them with a look of evil amusement and opened a bottle of white wine without hesitation.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Eat quickly."

Nao handed the peeled shrimp to Jiuxing.

Because Jiu Xing gave all his magic power to Nao and Xun, he now needs to rely on food to replenish his magic power.

In fact, in addition to this, there is another way to replenish magic.

That is to replenish magic with Sora, who is currently providing magic to Jiuxing, but this is an idea that Jiuxing has never considered.

Let’s not talk about whether his ten-year-old body has the ability to do this, just the fact that he can’t get over it in his heart…

"Hi hi hi~~ Nao really acts like a housekeeper~~"

Without hesitation, he put the shrimp peeled by Nao into his mouth and spread his hands, looking helpless.

Stare~~~
A pair of reincarnated eyes stared at Jiu Xing.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Jiu Xing admitted his mistake and apologized without hesitation.

Nao snorted softly and then let Jiu Xing go.

Nao's appearance made Jiu Xing wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. The other person's expression just now was really similar to Tsunade.

If I continue to be stubborn, I will definitely get beaten~~~
"drink!"

On the other side, Saber and Rider had each finished a bottle of wine and had opened the second bottle.

As expected of a Heroic Spirit, he can drink a whole bottle of alcohol without even blushing...

Saber and Rider were both really angry. They both had one foot on the same stool and looked at each other viciously.

They all seemed to be determined not to give up until they got the other party drunk.

There were more and more empty wine bottles around the two of them.

When Jiu Xing saw this scene, he couldn't help but think of a question.

Will Yingling suffer from gastric perforation?

However, Saber and Rider were obviously unaware of this problem. They both gulped down another bottle. Seeing this, Weber subconsciously moved a little further away from them.

Jiu Xing didn't know whether her stomach would be perforated, but Saber's fair cheeks had turned visibly red.

Even Rider's slightly dark skin turned red.

Apparently, even as Heroic Spirits, they can get drunk.

"As expected of the former King Arthur... He can actually compete with me in drinking and drink to such an extent."

"Hiccup~~"

Iskandar was obviously drunk. He burped loudly and his huge body swayed as if he would fall down at any time.

"Ah……"

"King of Conquerors, no matter what... I..."

"I won't...lose!"

Saber wiped the clear wine from the corner of her mouth and looked at the burly man in front of her fiercely.

"Come!"

"It is a great honor to have a drink with King Arthur today!"

"Dry!"

After saying that, Iskandar raised the bottle of wine in his hand again.

"cheers!"

Saber also raised the bottle and drank with Rider without showing any weakness.

Jiu Xing was drinking juice on the side, and seeing the two people drinking so happily, she couldn't help but look at Xun with hope.

"Dah ah."

"Jiu Xing can't drink."

Xun saw through Jiu Xing's thoughts at a glance and rejected them without hesitation.

"Who said I wanted to drink it? I just took a closer look."

Jiu Xing pretended to be calm and bit the straw with a different mind.

"If you don't want to drink, then eat quickly."

Nao at the side pushed over another bowl full of peeled shrimps.

Jiuxing suddenly had an illusion that Xun and Nao were raising him as their son.

Just at this moment Jiu Xing was suddenly startled.

'Lancer, the Templar Church has just issued a call for assembly.'

'It's about caster.'

'Do you think we should join?'

Kennedy contacted Jiu Xing through the Command Seal. "Go, go, your plan has been exposed, Archer has already seen through the identities of Xun and Nao."

'……good. ’

There was silence for a moment, then a response came from the other side.

At this moment, Saber was stunned. It was obvious that Emiya Kiritsugu also contacted her in the same way.

"what?"

"Kiritsugu, do you know that I have been enduring you for a long time?"

"Stop bothering me!"

"Can't you handle this kind of shit yourself?!"

"Am I your mother or your father? Who are you trying to show me with such a deadpan face all day long?"

"There's more important business to do here!"

Saber stuck out her tongue and complained about her master with dissatisfaction, venting her daily resentment.

"Ha, ha, this is the king I remember!"

"Dare to act and take responsibility, love and hate clearly!"

Iskandar patted Saber's shoulder unsteadily, a look of approval on his face.

"Old, old man, let me tell you!"

"I've really had enough of my Master!"

"That stinky face, I want to go up and slap them both with Avalon!"

"Also, caused Ellie to be injured."

Saber was obviously very angry at the moment, venting his anger by dancing around.

"Oh, two clowns."

Archer couldn't help but sneer when he saw the two men were so drunk.

"You, you, Kimpika!"

"How good do you think you are?"

"Relying on the number of treasures, you look down on others~~"

"I've been annoyed with you for a long time!"

Saber smashed the half-drunk bottle of wine in front of Archer, and the splashing wine fell directly on Archer's face, which made Archer's eyes twitch.

"And you!"

"Don't think I won't beat you just because you've become smaller now!"

Saber thought for a moment and moved closer to Jiuxing again. Jiuxing frowned at the smell of alcohol on her.

"If you make me angry, I will still..."

"Hiccup~~"

"I'll still take off your pants and spank you!"

Jiu Xing was silent. Drunk Saber and normal Saber have completely different personalities.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Saber...you, you're drunk!"

"In this competition, yes, I won!"

Iskandar waved the bottle in his hand and laughed loudly.

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

"I'm not drunk!"

"King of Conquerors, I think you are talking nonsense!"

After saying that, Saber took out her golden sword and stabbed it in front of Iskandar.

"Today, we have decided who is better..."

"Also... a life-and-death battle!"

"drink!"

Jiu Xing bit the shrimp in the bowl and looked at the scene in front of him speechlessly.

Aren't they allies?

Emiya Kiritsugu's face darkened when he realized that Saber had unilaterally shut down the communication.

What's wrong with this guy?

Didn't you say that you would team up with the Rider team to defeat the Lancer team?
-

next morning
When Saber woke up from the sofa in a daze, she felt a splitting headache.

"Hey, you're awake?"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded, and Saber looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a little boy in red and white sportswear appear in front of me.

"You are...Lancer!"

Saber was confused and looked around quickly.

It looks like I'm in a hotel now.

"I never thought you would behave like this when you were drunk. It really opened my eyes."

Jiu Xing approached Saber with interest, which made Saber a little confused.

The drunk...myself?
Have you been drinking?

As Saber recalled what happened last night bit by bit, her face turned red.

"This……"

Saber thought of how embarrassing she was yesterday and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"You're awake now. I made some hangover soup. Come drink it, Saber."

"And Jiu Xing, stop teasing Saber."

Xun came over in home clothes, holding a bowl.

"Um, thank you..."

Saber looked at Xun in front of her silently, and couldn't help but thank him guiltily.

"Where's the rider?"

Saber drank the sobering soup in the other person's hand and said embarrassedly.

"The rider just left, saying that he would go drink with you again next time he had the chance, saying that you can drink a lot."

Jiu Xing wanted to move closer, but was pushed back by Xun.

"I see. Thank you for taking me in last night."

"Grateful."

Saber stood up, she was already mostly sober.

It was almost unbelievable that the other party did not take advantage of the situation last night in this Holy Grail War where everyone is an enemy.

"There's no need for this. We all have no grudges against each other. It's fate that we met in this era, isn't it?"

"We don't really care about the Holy Grail or anything like that."

Xun smiled and took the bowl from Saber.

"Uh, yes, even so, even if it's a stranger you just met, you should still thank them."

Saber's expression softened as she listened to Xun's words, and even the way she looked at Jiu Xing became more pleasing to the eye.

"However, Saber, if you don't like your Master, you can come to our place."

"My Master still has a lot of magic power, it's more than enough to support another Saber."

Jiu Xing took this opportunity to try to steal Kiritsugu Emiya's girl.

"If Saber wants the Holy Grail, I don't actually mind."

Listening to Jiu Xing's words, Saber said seriously:

"First of all, thank you for your kindness, Lancer."

"But as a knight, I will never betray my Master."

"Don't say this kind of thing next time."

"After this separation, we will be enemies the next time we meet."

Looking at the old-fashioned Saber in front of him, Jiu Xing waved his hand indifferently.

He just mentioned it casually.

It would be best if Saber is willing, but it doesn't matter if she is not willing.

Giving up the Holy Grail was not a big deal.

Jiu Xing has no interest in the Holy Grail, Kennedy just wants to observe the root through the Holy Grail.

It doesn't matter what wish you make.

"In that case, I will take my leave now."

"Sir Kaoru, it's a pleasure to be with you."

"If it weren't for the Holy Grail War, I think we would have been very good friends."

Before leaving, Saber extended her hand to Xun.

Xun made her feel very comfortable, even though they had only exchanged a few words, but this did not hinder Saber's liking for her.

"Thank you, if that's okay, we're already friends, aren't we?"

Xun gently held Saber's hand and spoke softly.

Kaoru's words startled Saber, then she smiled and said:

"Altria Arthur Pendragon, that's my name."

"Namikaze Kaoru, Leah, nice to meet you."
