The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Sorry, Aoi, I was indeed too excited——" Shaking his head, Kariya said apologetically, then moved to the side, revealing Lin Xuan and Sakura standing behind him.

　"Sakura————" When seeing Sakura being held by Lin Xuan, Tohsaka Aoi shouted out in a panic.

　"Sakura————" Rin, as the elder sister, also discovered Sakura standing behind Kariya at this time.

　But Sakura took a step back and hid behind Lin Xuan, and did not rush forward to reunite with Tohsaka Aoi.

　"Sakura————" Seeing Sakura's actions, Tohsaka Aoi felt like her heart was torn apart, and an unspeakable pain spread in her heart.

　At this time, Toosaka Aoi noticed Lin Xuan. When she saw the numerous Command Seals on Lin Xuan's right arm, Toosaka Aoi's eyes narrowed tightly, "How could it be——"

　"Madam - I think you are Xiaoying's mother -" Lin Xuan said calmly, stretching out his hand and gently comforting Xiaoying behind him.

　"But as a mother, do you know what kind of life Sakura has been living in the past year?" Lin Xuan frowned slightly when he said this. "Do you know what Matou Zouken did to Sakura?"

　"Do you know how Sakura was tortured and devastated when you handed her over to Zouken Matou!!!" At this time, Lin Xuan's tone was also filled with anger.

　"She lies in the insect pool every day, is constantly transformed, and even has imprinting insects implanted in her body. Such an experience, such pain, is made to endure by such a young child. You really love her————" Lin Xuan raised his head, his eyes filled with ridicule and anger.

　"I don't expect you to make up for anything. I just hope that as a mother, you can think about it carefully——"

　At this moment, Toosaka Aoi was completely stunned. She had no idea what Lin Xuan said, but after looking at Sakura's actions and Kariya's expression, it was not difficult for Toosaka Aoi to guess that what the young man in front of her said was probably true.

　And when the boy's words were confirmed, those cruel facts began to constantly torment Toosaka Aoi's heart.

　"Ah————" Lin Xuan sighed and said to Yan Ye, "I have to go out for a while. I'll leave this place to you. Don't worry, I have cleared out the annoying little flies around. Nothing will happen next." After saying that, Lin Xuan turned around, squatted down, looked at Xiaoying gently and said, "Big brother is going out. Xiaoying, you have to stay at home obediently~~~~~"

　"Yeah——" Sakura nodded gently and responded obediently.

Chapter 26: The King's Feast

　“Really——I told Yan Ye not to get too excited, but I got too excited——” Scratching his head, Lin Xuan smiled bitterly.

　"Forget it——let them solve the problems between them themselves——" Turning his head slightly to look at the Matou residence, Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly and said irresponsibly.

　After saying that, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Einzbern Forest. The corners of his closed mouth slowly opened, revealing a playful smile.

　"The King's Banquet is almost about to begin. Although I am not a real king, I have had the title of king after all. I might as well attend it. After all, I quite liked this plot in the past——" As he spoke, a howling wind began to blow beside Lin Xuan.

　"Whoosh——" The next moment, a violent storm spread wildly around, and at this time, Lin Xuan had disappeared.

　······

　Beside the flower bed in the courtyard of the Einzbern castle.

　The three Servants sat facing each other, silently confronting each other, while Irisviel and Waver sat side by side.

　Several golden ripples appeared in the void around Archer, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew past, blowing up the gravel on the ground, forcing Irisviel and Waver to cover each other's eyes.

　But the three heroes present did not move at all, but stared at one place.

　The place where the three heroes were staring at was exactly where the strong winds gathered. The strong winds gathered together, and soon, a figure slowly formed there. When the figure was formed, Irisviel and the other two opened their eyes.

　“Berserker!!!” Irisviel exclaimed as she looked at the Heroic Spirit that suddenly appeared.

　That’s right, this sudden gust of wind and the figure formed by the gust of wind were none other than Lin Xuan, who was participating in this Holy Grail War and whose job was Berserker.

　"Haha————young man, your way of appearance is also quite good————" Rider laughed while looking at Lin Xuan. Although it seemed like nothing, there was a hint of solemnity in Rider's eyes. Several heroes present clearly saw Lin Xuan's appearance. It was definitely not a spirit body, but a real transformation from a gust of wind into a human.

　"Hey——I hope you don't blame me for coming uninvited——" Lin Xuan said with a grin.

　"Haha, how could that be? Come on, Archer was just about to take out his fine wine when you came. I can only say that Berserker, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early————" Rider laughed heartily, waving his hand.

　"Oh——Archer's wine, it must not be an ordinary item——" Lin Xuan said with a smile after looking at Archer.

　"Hmph————Do I need you to tell me that, Berserker————" Archer snorted coldly and said arrogantly.

　Then, a series of wine vessels inlaid with dazzling gems fell from the golden ripples, and colorless and clear liquid flowed in the gold wine bottles.

　"Look, this is the so-called 'King's Wine'——"

　"Oh——as expected, this wine is not ordinary——" Not caring about Archer's tone, Rider happily poured the wine into four glasses.

　Lin Xuan took the wine glass from Rider's hand without any care and tasted the wine in the glass carefully.

　"It's really delicious——" Although Lin Xuan didn't know how to taste wine, and he drank very rarely, almost never, but Lin Xuan could still feel the taste of the wine in the glass.

　"Delicious!!!" After taking a sip, Rider widened his eyes and couldn't help but praise.

　After hearing Lin Xuan and Rider's praise, Saber's curiosity was aroused and she also took a sip.

　"This isn't a wine brewed by humans anymore—"

　Feeling the aroma of the fine wine, Saber also expressed her appreciation.

　Looking at the three people who were praising him generously, Archer smiled with satisfaction and sat down like the other three Heroic Spirits, savoring the wine in his glass with contentment.

　"Only the best can enter my treasure house. This is the taste a king should have—"

　"Archer!! Are you kidding me!!! I'm tired of hearing you brag about your wine collection. You don't act like a king at all, but like a clown!!!" Saber suddenly yelled at Archer. At this moment, the calm atmosphere was broken, and the air gradually became filled with the smell of gunpowder.

　"Huh? If you don't even know how to drink, you're not worthy of being a king—"

　"Stop, stop, stop——if you keep talking, you two will start a fight. Can't you just enjoy the wine? It's rare to have such good wine, can't you just be quiet? Look at Rider, he didn't say anything——" Supporting his head, Lin Xuan looked helplessly at the two people who were on the verge of a fight, and said with a wry smile.

　"Every king has his own principles, so don't use your principles to demand the other three kings present—"

　"Oh!!!" After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Rider, who was drinking silently, looked at Lin Xuan in surprise.

　"I didn't expect that you are also a king——"

　This news also surprised others present.

　Shaking the wine in his glass, Lin Xuan smiled calmly, "Although I am different from you, I am indeed a king."

　“Haha————I didn’t expect that there would be four kings participating in this Holy Grail War.” Rider laughed loudly, drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp.

　"Indeed——" After drinking the wine in the glass, Lin Xuan poured himself another glass.

　Lin Xuan asked with a smile, looking at his reflection in the wine glass.

　"Hey—I'm not interested in the Holy Grail. All I want is victory. But can I ask why you want to win the Holy Grail?"

Chapter 2: The King's Feast

　"Hey—I'm not interested in the Holy Grail. All I want is victory. But can I ask why you want to win the Holy Grail?"

　"How ridiculous! I don't want the Holy Grail. I'm just trying to take back the treasure that belongs to me—" Archer sneered, looking around at all the people and heroic spirits present with disdain.

　"All the treasures in history originated from my collection. It's just that over a long period of time, they have been lost from my treasury. But they still belong to me, and the Holy Grail is just one of those lost treasures."

　"Oh~~~~~ That means you have possessed it before. Then what exactly is the Holy Grail?" Rider raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

　"No, the total amount of my wealth has exceeded my comprehension. I myself don't know exactly how many treasures I own, but the only thing I can be sure of is that as long as it is a 'treasure', it must belong to me. But you actually want to rob me of my treasures. Aren't you too ignorant of your own limitations—" Archer said, looking at Rider proudly.

　"What's the difference between you and Caster now? You're so mentally disturbed!!" Saber expressed her opinion while looking at Archer speechlessly.

　"Gilgamesh - his real identity is the fifth king of Uruk, a city-state of the Sumerian dynasty in ancient Mesopotamia. He is the protagonist of the oldest epic of mankind, The Epic of Gilgamesh, and the oldest "hero king". He has the divinity of "two-thirds god and one-third human", has an arrogant personality, and was once a tyrant who thought he was invincible. He possesses the prototypes of all the treasures." Lin Xuan slowly narrated while silently shaking the wine in the glass.

　"Do you mind if I tell you your real name, Archer————" Lin Xuan said with a chuckle, looking at his reflection in the cup.

　"Hmph————I don't care about these things. Letting them know my identity will also help them know who the king they look up to is, so that they won't appear so ignorant." Archer smiled disdainfully, with a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone.

　“Oh my god—I was right—” Rider touched his chin, looking as if he knew it.

　"What————" Saber, who just learned the truth, looked at Archer in surprise.

　Ignoring Saber, who was still in shock, Rider asked Archer, "So, as long as you agree, we can obtain the Holy Grail?"

　"Of course, as long as you submit to me, I don't mind giving my treasures to my subjects."

　"How is this possible? As the King of Conquerors, I can't possibly do this."

　"None of the kings present here would agree to this request. Archer, you are just making this condition to mock us..." Lin Xuan said jokingly with a chuckle, and while speaking, he did not forget to fill his glass with wine again.

　"Come to think of it, Archer, you participated in this Holy Grail War, couldn't it be that you couldn't stand others peeping at your treasures————" Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and said as he slowly savored the wine in the glass.

　"Of course—I will not let go of those who dare to peek at my treasures. This is the rule I set as a king—"

　"You are a perfect king, upholding the laws you set. But as the King of Conquerors, if I can't get what I want, I can only take it by force. It seems we will have to meet on the battlefield."

　"Hey, hey, you two, let's put the fighting aside for now and let's drink first - after all, Archer brought such delicious wine -" Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Lin Xuan looked at the two kings in front of him jokingly.

　"Haha——Indeed, what Berserker said is right. Come on, let's drink..." Rider poured himself a glass and laughed heartily.

　“King of Conquerors!!! Since you already believe that the Holy Grail belongs to someone else, why do you still want to seize it by force?!?” At this time, Saber, who had been silent on the side, suddenly questioned Rider.

　"Isn't this obvious? King of Knights, my belief as the King of Conquerors is 'seizure' and 'invasion'." Rider opened his arms and spoke loudly, not hiding his belief.

　"And if I seize the Holy Grail, I will be able to fulfill my wish. I want to become a human, obtain a real flesh (hx) body in this world, and then conquer this world————" With his arms open as if to embrace the entire world, Rider declared his wish boldly and unrestrainedly.

　After hearing Rider's words, Archer revealed a strange expression that was different from before.

　"Rider, I've decided. I must kill you with my own hands—"

　"Hey, hey, hey—Hero King, uncle is my prey, I will not allow you to snatch him away—" After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Lin Xuan grinned and loudly refuted Archer's words.

　Rider laughed heartily, unconcerned with Lin Xuan and Archer's remarks. "Hahaha—don't underestimate me—as the King of Conquerors, I'm not that weak!!!"

　After laughing, Rider looked at Lin Xuan curiously, not hiding his curiosity at all, and said to Lin Xuan.

　"But, speaking of which, I'm really curious about you, little brother. After all, you're so mysterious."

　"Huh? Really, it feels weird to be so curious about a man——————" Lin Xuan said helplessly with a helpless pout.

　"Haha————Brother, don't mind this little detail. After all, you are too mysterious————" Rider's words expressed the thoughts of everyone present. That's right, they knew too little about Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan was surrounded by a fog, making it impossible to see him clearly.

　"Mysterious?" Lin Xuan smiled and continued, holding up his head.

　"So what do you want to know————————"

　How should I put it? I am a little excited about the first book on the shelves. I would like to thank the readers who subscribed to this chapter. Thank you for your support.

　"Mysterious?" Lin Xuan smiled and continued, holding up his head.
