"You must have seen wrong. Come on, let's go play volleyball."

"This outfit is too conspicuous. Could you remove the armor?"

Lin Yan pointed with his finger.

"Yes, Master." Artoria obediently removed her armor. Although others might find it strange that Artoria exuded such an aura of unapproachable royalty, at least she wasn't considered an oddball.

"Come home with me first." Lin Yan didn't have any clue about the Holy Grail War yet, but as everyone knows, the Holy Grail War was conducted in secret. As long as he paid attention to where large flames suddenly appeared or where there were news reports of gas leaks, he would know where the battle of Heroic Spirits had broken out.

In this Holy Grail War, while obtaining the Holy Grail is not necessarily the goal, there are some people who absolutely must be eliminated.

Matou Zouken and Lin Yan Laozhao had been disliking this guy for a while, but now they didn't know where this filthy thing was.

Otherwise... the world level of the Harry Potter world is even higher than that of Fate. Although it cannot reach the root of the problem, it can be judged by the almost infinite magic power.

With Lin Yan's added strength, if he wanted to kill a monster like Matou Zouken, who had a certain degree of immunity to death, he could simply use a Soul Stealing Curse to control his body, and then use Avatar to devour him, wiping him out completely on the spot.

There's no need for such trouble. With his current life force and cultivation level, there's nothing in this world that a single lightning spell can't solve.

If so, then let's do it again.

As Lin Yan let his thoughts wander freely, Artoria, following behind him, also looked at her Master with curiosity.

Can feel it.

Whether it's their actions, their demeanor, or the unseen bond between them, one can sense that their Master is very strong.

However, the powerful aura hidden within such an ordinary body made it difficult for her to see through it for a while.

Although the magical link between the two existed, there was no magical energy being consumed at the moment, so she was unable to sense Lin Yan's magical energy level.

Therefore, aside from the mystery surrounding her, she knew nothing about her Master.

know nothing...

She thought of that man.

That lack of trust, that ruthless pursuit of goals, and the use of Command Seals to force orders, all drove her to defy her own will, raise her sword, and destroy her own hope of saving Britain...

"Master."

This time, Artoria decided to get to know her Master properly.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, her stomach started rumbling loudly.

"Are you hungry?"

Lin Yan turned to Artoria and smiled slightly: "The izakaya next door smells really good, would you like to go in and sit for a while?"

"I……"

Artoria originally wanted to understand what kind of person her Master was through communication, so as to avoid a situation where she had to cleave the Holy Grail with her sword again.

However, he never expected that opening his mouth would lead to such an awkward situation.

Even the Knight King, who was used to all kinds of grand occasions, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.

"That's normal. I'm hungry, and I don't want to cook anyway, so I might as well go get something to eat."

Lin Yan, afraid that she would feel embarrassed, took her arm and led her into an izakaya (Japanese pub).

"Hey buddy, minors aren't allowed to drink alcohol here."

Upon seeing Lin Yan enter the store, the head chef, who was wearing a headscarf, said this first thing.

He glanced at the menu and pointed to the top:

"Give me a signature wasabi rice, a crab roe tofu, and... skewers, twenty of each."

Lin Yan glanced at the guy next to him, who was known as a glutton and knew that these skewers were definitely not enough for him.

"And you?" He patted Artoria on the shoulder.

"I……"

"I want..." Artoria looked at the various delicious-looking items on the signboard, feeling a little overwhelmed by the choices.

"Never mind, I'll choose for you."

Lin Yan pointed to the cheese and beef bibimbap that was listed alongside the wasabi bibimbap.

"Add another serving of cheese and beef bibimbap."

Lin Yan was somewhat relieved that Emiya Shirou hadn't asked for an exorbitant amount; otherwise, after counting his wallet, he wouldn't have had enough to take Artoria out for dinner today.

After entering the restaurant, the two found a spacious spot to sit down. Artoria straightened her back very seriously, her gaze fixed straight ahead; her posture suggested she was waiting for a battle rather than for food.

"No need to be so nervous, no enemy is going to suddenly appear," Lin Yan said half-jokingly. "Since we're here to eat, let's enjoy the food."

"Yes, Master."

Artoria relaxed a little. After the wasabi rice and cheese beef rice were served, Lin Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her eat without any royal manners.

I didn't mean anything by it; I just found the scene very interesting.

As expected of Artoria, who is at the peak of both looks and strength, she is so cute even when she is eating.

"Master, is there something on my face?"

Artoria felt a little strange being stared at like that by Lin Yan.

"No, eat slowly, you can order more if you're still hungry."

Lin Yan smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat his wasabi rice.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a signature dish. The spiciness of the wasabi is quite pungent, but the other seasonings perfectly balance it out.

Before I could even take two bites, the skewers were served.

Lin Yan pushed the plate closer to Artoria.

The Saber, who was just about to learn more about her Master, was now kneeling before the delicious food without hesitation, completely immersed in the rich aroma of cheese and the tenderness of beef.

These skewers were delicious too. The chicken was grilled to a tender perfection, and the vegetables perfectly balanced the greasiness.

This skewer is also good; the shrimp on top is delicious.

and this……

When Artoria tasted the crunchy cartilage, her eyes practically lit up with excitement.

Crispy and delicious! The flavors of salt and pepper and barbecue sauce have seeped in, creating distinct yet harmonious layers.

As if he had found the joy of feeding, Lin Yan leaned back in his chair after he had eaten his fill, quietly watching Artoria eat. When she ate something delicious, her eyes lit up, and her rosy lips parted slightly. The look of happiness she gave him was so captivating that it was impossible not to watch.

They didn't even notice when an uninvited guest arrived.

Chapter 290 First Move

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Lin Yan smiled and put a finger to his lips to shush the girl in the red dress with pigtails who looked surprised as she walked in.

Rin Tohsaka never imagined that she was just out for a wasabi rice bowl.

I just heard from a classmate that this place has really authentic wasabi rice, like my mom’s cooking, so I came here to buy a bowl. How did I end up running into my master?

Although somewhat taken aback, Rin Tohsaka remained calm.

First of all, as a magician, her personal strength is beyond doubt.

Having undergone complete and meticulous magical training in the Tohsaka family, one of the three founding families, even if they cannot defeat a Heroic Spirit with two punches using human strength like Teacher, they are definitely not someone that ordinary magicians can handle.

Second is...

As is widely known, the Holy Grail War is held in secret.

In public, Rin Tohsaka was not worried at all that Lin Yan had instructed Saber to attack her. On the contrary, after buying the food, she sat down next to Lin Yan, diagonally opposite Saber, and looked at Saber with curiosity.

"I'm so envious."

She suddenly spoke, as if talking to herself, yet also as if addressing Lin Yan beside her:

“Saber is such a lovely Servant, unlike me, who summoned an Archer-class Servant.”

Lin Yan turned his head to look at her, and nodded with a smile.

Lin Yan couldn't say whether he liked or disliked Rin Tohsaka, but their current positions were clearly enemies rather than friends. Although it was obvious that Rin Tohsaka was taking the initiative to approach him, most likely with the intention of forming an alliance, Lin Yan remained unmoved.

"How was your food?"

Seeing that Artoria reluctantly finished the last skewer, Lin Yan smiled gently and handed her a tissue.

"Thank you." Artoria took the tissue and wiped her mouth sheepishly. "Master, you've gone to so much trouble. I'll..."

"It does not matter."

Lin Yan waved his hand and got up to pay the bill, but Rin Tohsaka, who was next to him, suddenly stood up and walked towards the counter.

"Let me pay for this table."

Lin Yan glanced at her, and Artoria's eyes also showed some surprise.
