Abnormal Moon

Roy's gaze swept over the two men as they entered the room.

His eyes suddenly sharpened.

How did these two end up here?

Chapter 303 Weber and Iskandar

"We're being closely watched!"

The red-haired giant glanced at Roy at the opposite table, grinned, and revealed a smug smile.

"It's absolutely your fault, so you go and fix it."

The black-haired man waved his hand, shoving him as if he were disgusted.

The red-haired giant was several sizes larger than Roy, and the black-haired man shouldn't have been able to push him at all. But the red-haired giant still got up on his own initiative and pretended to be pushed out by Roy.

Then he went to Roy.

The towering figure cast a large shadow as soon as it appeared. Nino and Satsuki looked up and were immediately struck by the oppressive feeling, falling silent in fear.

Why is he another weirdo?

The red-haired man gave the two girls what he considered a friendly smile, but seeing their reaction as if they wanted to shrink into the floor, he scratched his cheek in annoyance and had no choice but to turn his attention to the person in question.

"Hey young man, you've been staring at me ever since I walked in. Do you know me?"

He looked at Roy, a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

This burly man, despite his seemingly rugged appearance, possesses a cautious side.

"Iskandha the Conqueror, of course I know you. Why are you here?"

Roy stared warily at the red-haired giant, his gaze sweeping over him with a strong sense of scrutiny.

If he remembered correctly, during the Holy Grail War ten years ago, all six Servants except Gilgamesh were corrupted, without exception. Among the six corrupted Servants who went on to conquer the world was Iskandar, the King of Conquerors.

However, Iskandar, who appeared here, did not seem to have turned to the dark side. Instead, he was just like the original Conqueror King, without any dark aura or the smell of evil in this world.

"Haha, so you do recognize me!"

The burly red-haired man let out a loud laugh, a hearty laugh that seemed to shake even the wooden walls, incredibly infectious.

"However, even if you ask that, does that mean I can't be here? Are you the king of this city?"

He openly admitted his identity.

This burly, red-haired man with his beard and hair standing on end was none other than Iskandar the Conqueror!

Nino and Satsuki pretended not to be there, keeping their heads down, but upon hearing this, they exchanged a surprised glance.

The Conqueror King...!

who is it?

Nobody asked you that.

Roy frowned slightly.

"What I want to ask is, didn't you already become a corrupted Servant? What are you trying to do here?"

To put it bluntly, if the King of Conquerors were to turn evil, he might be even more terrifying than King Arthur.

This is certainly not a matter of strength. In terms of strength, King Arthur with the Lesser Grail would certainly be stronger. However, in terms of personality changes, the Conqueror King would probably have the upper hand. The corrupted King Arthur only became more radical in his methods, but if the Conqueror King were to become corrupted and abandon the passion between the king and the people, he might become a tyrannical ruler who uses high-pressure tactics to govern the world.

Iskandar, who hadn't appeared at all in the recent Holy Grail War, was someone Roy was already wary of, as he was always on guard against a possible ambush. Now that he had encountered him, he certainly wouldn't let it go easily.

"Ah, you mean that? Hahaha, what, do I still look like I've turned evil?"

Iskandar clenched his fist, a look of understanding on his face, and then burst into hearty laughter.

"I broke free from my descent into darkness several years ago, thanks to my trusted ministers!"

He laughed loudly, stretched out his large, fan-like hand, and slapped hard on the shoulder of the black-haired man next to him.

"Ouch! You hit me too hard!"

The dark-haired man glared at him, pushed his hand away, and rubbed his aching shoulder with a resentful expression.

"It's not unreasonable for you to be wary of this guy who has turned evil, after all, he is terrifying in every sense of the word. But as you can see, he has recovered, so there's no need to be on guard against him."

"...Do you still have that ability, Weber Velvet?"

"He really recovered from his dark side?" Roy looked at the black-haired man beside him with incomprehension.

This guy is undoubtedly Waver, Iskandar's Master during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

It is said that he died in the last Holy Grail War, but unexpectedly he is still alive and well, and is even hanging out with the King of Conquerors.

"Furthermore, the Greater Grail has long been gone, so why is the King of Conquerors still alive?"

"Because this guy not only got rid of his corruption, but he also got his flesh."

Weber realized that Roy was not someone who could be easily fooled. He sighed with a bitter expression and took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it.

"I know it's hard for you to believe, after all, I'm just a weak magician whose lineage has only lasted three generations. Everyone says so, and I'm aware of that. But unfortunately, this guy has indeed been corrupted and has broken free from the influence of the dark side."

"Honestly, so many years have passed, and you're still so self-deprecating!"

Iskandar slapped Webber on the shoulder again, his expression a mix of emotion and helplessness.

Weber was caught off guard by the slap and coughed violently. His hand, holding a cigar, trembled as he pointed at the man's nose. He opened his mouth to speak but kept coughing. His haggard face, which looked like he hadn't slept for days, turned red in an instant. He wanted nothing more than to curse the man to vent his anger.

Iskandar patted his back lightly, looking embarrassed, to help him catch his breath.

Nino and May couldn't understand what they were saying at all. To avoid making mistakes, they kept their heads down the whole time and didn't interrupt any of their conversation.

"Gulu~!"

But suddenly, a hungry voice rang out.

Roy turned his head and saw May's face was flushed, her arms tightly wrapped around her stomach, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

No, didn't you just eat cake?

"I'm sorry, I didn't eat much for lunch today..."

May looked up guiltily and cautiously offered an explanation.

Thinking about it carefully, she only ate two steamed buns for lunch today. Even with the cake from earlier, the amount was less than half of her usual portion. After such a big shock, she must have eaten more to calm her nerves, right?

"Inoue, bring two more cakes."

"……Understood!"

We've lost the money for two more cakes!

Roy snapped out of his daze and turned his attention back to Webber and Iskandar.

"While it is indeed unbelievable, I acknowledge that you are very capable."

"In short, since you're no longer corrupted Servants, let's leave it at that. Although I'm curious about your purpose in coming here, this isn't a topic that can be revealed casually."

Weber recovered and nodded silently.

"Then I'll just say I was meddling earlier."

Roy ended his conversation with the two of them with this sentence.

He gave up asking further questions. Since they had their own purposes, it wasn't appropriate for him to press them.

Since the King of Conquerors has recovered from his corruption, given his personality, he will do whatever he wants openly and honestly, so there's no need to worry about being ambushed or plotted against.

Ultimately, it was just a chance encounter between the two, and Roy didn't want to get involved, nor did he need to.

Chapter 304 The Same Destination

After May finished eating the cake, Roy led the two of them out of the coffee shop.

After seeing the three of them out of the coffee shop, Inoue Takina turned around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we've sent this big shot away!

"I'll stay in Tokyo for the next few days. You can stay with me. Don't worry, there are plenty of rooms there, and it's very safe. Once things are settled, I'll take you back to Fuyuki City."

"Let's do as Lord Roy says."

Nino and May exchanged a glance and obeyed Roy's arrangement.

They're lucky to have a place to stay right now; they can only dream of a safe place. The place Roy arranged will definitely be better than where they're staying now. With plenty of rooms, they won't have to worry about the separation of men and women, or Roy suddenly becoming a predator in the middle of the night.

Even if Roy really unleashed his wolfish nature, it might not make a difference, but at least he would feel safer psychologically.

At this moment, Webber and Iskandar also finished resting and came out of the store.

Then the two followed behind Roy and the other two, as if taking care of Webber's stamina. The two, including the red-haired giant, also moved forward step by step.

Roy didn't take it to heart, only feeling that the two were heading in the same direction.

But after walking another two miles and making two turns, Webber and Iskandar were still following behind the three.
