In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

Kaguya remained silent, no emotion visible in her eyes.

The shadowy figure slowly stood up from the sofa. "Whether you doubt his talent or verify it is your business. What I want is the result. Do you understand that you must use any means necessary to make him serve me? This is also a test of your ability. Don't embarrass me."

"I understand." Kaguya responded.

On Haruno's side, a black luxury car slowly stopped at the foot of the apartment building, and Haruno prepared to get out. "I'm going up to see Kouzo."

The middle-aged man turned around and said, "Hurry up, I have an important meeting later."

Upon hearing this, Yang Nai curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "I know, I know. If you can't wait, Dad, you can go back first. I will take a taxi back then." Yang Nai said as he pushed open the car door.

Yang Nai had just stepped out of the car when the night breeze brushed against her cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. She stood downstairs in the apartment building and looked up at the floor where Xiao San lived.

However, just as Yang No was about to look away, she suddenly saw a dazzling light flash through the window of Xiao San's room... Although the light was short-lived, it was extremely bright, causing Yang No's eyes to squint involuntarily.

"That is..." Yang Noi felt doubtful.

In Takashi San's room, the air was filled with a subtle, tense atmosphere. A girl in black armor stood there... Her gaze was as deep as the night, her figure was straight, and the black armor gleamed coldly under the light.

"Are you my Master?" the girl's voice broke the silence in the room. Her eyes were fixed on Takashi... She was waiting for an answer, an answer that was crucial to her.

Takashi was stunned. Although he had read some anime, light novels, and science fiction movies... nothing could compare to the shock of witnessing such a supernatural phenomenon. He had never encountered "supernatural powers" in the dungeon world, and the same was true of the "rewards" he had received.

Seeing that Xiao San took a long time to answer, the girl frowned slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes... She glanced at the Command Seal on the other's hand, and her voice rang out again, "Answer me, are you my Master?" This time, there was a hint of unquestionable majesty in her tone.

Takashi San took a deep breath and looked directly into the girl's eyes, a firm look flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I am your Master."

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, and the crisp ring sounded particularly abrupt in the silent room.

The girl quickly turned her head to look towards the entrance, her brows slightly furrowed. "Is it an enemy?"

Seeing this, Xiao San hurriedly stopped her, fearing that she would hurt innocent people, and quickly said: "No, no, no, it's not an enemy. Stay here and don't move. I'll go and take a look."

Takashi San cautiously walked towards the entrance, looked out through the peephole, and saw a familiar figure standing outside the door.

Yang No stood in front of Xiao San's door and pressed the doorbell continuously, and the crisp sound echoed.

"Is that Sister Yang Nai? It's so late already." Xiao San's voice came from the loudspeaker outside the door.

Yang No responded, "I saw a light in your room just now, so I came to see what was going on."

However, there was no response from inside the door. Yang Nai frowned and rang the doorbell again, this time more urgently.

After a while, the door slowly opened. Xiao San appeared at the door with a look of surprise and confusion on his face, "Sister Yang Nai, you..."

Yang No said nothing more, but walked past Xiao San and began to look around the room. Her eyes were sharp, as if she was looking for some clues or abnormalities.

Xiao San walked up and asked, "Sister Yang Nai, what are you looking for?"

Yang No held her chin with one hand, her brows furrowed, and she looked a little suspicious. Hearing Xiao San's question, she was slightly stunned, and then murmured softly: "Hmm, strange, could it be that I looked at the wrong floor?"

At that moment, Yang Nai's phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room. She pulled it out of her pocket, opened it, and saw it was a text message from her father... The message was simple and clear, urging her to get out of the car quickly.

After reading the text message, Yang Noi glanced at Xiao San and said lightly: "It's okay, I'll leave first." After that, she turned and left.

But... Yang Nai had only taken a few steps when he suddenly seemed to remember something important. He stopped abruptly and quickly turned back.

When Xiaosan saw Yang Nai coming towards him aggressively, his heart tightened and he unconsciously took a step back.

Yang No walked up to Xiao San, held out her hand, looked directly at him, and said in a calm tone that held no room for refusal: "Uh-huh, cell phone."

Xiaosan was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and handed over his phone.

Haruno took the phone, expertly opened the address book, and deleted Shinomiya Kaguya's number. As she did so, she muttered to herself, "I'm not the type to control people, you know? I have a very kind personality and won't restrict your freedom. This is just in case."

Takashi San stood aside, watching Haruno's actions contradict his words, and responded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes."

After fixing the phone, Yang No threw it back into Xiao San's hand.

Then…Yonori suddenly leaned in and kissed Takashi. Her lips were soft and warm, with a faint fragrance. The kiss was brief but full of tenderness.

"Then I'll leave first." Yang No's voice sounded in Xiao San's ears.

Takashi stood there in a daze, watching Haruno's back gradually disappear into the distance and the apartment door slowly close. Takashi finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves relaxing.

At this moment, the voice of the girl in black armor was heard again in the room, and her figure gradually appeared. "Is it your lover?" Her voice was still low and powerful, revealing a hint of unquestionable royal majesty.

Xiaosan turned around, faced the girl, and nodded, "Yeah." This was considered an admission.

At this point, Takashi San finally had the energy to examine the girl before him... Her beauty was undeniably beautiful, her skin soft and fair, her flowing golden hair gleaming softly under the light, her pale yellow eyes clear and deep. Her hair was tied up, adding a touch of gentleness to her demeanor. She looked refined, elegant, and graceful, and the aloof hair on her head added a touch of playfulness and endearment.

So familiar...

There seems to be a sense of disobedience...

Xiao San held his chin, his eyes flashing with curiosity and inquiry. He asked tentatively: "Excuse me, are you the legendary King Arthur of Britain... Miss Altria?" There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

The girl raised her head slightly, a flicker of surprise flashing across her pale yellow eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She nodded slightly, her voice soft but firm, "Yes."

This simple response filled Takashi San with joy. (In his previous life, Takashi San focused on study, work, and family, and had limited exposure to the anime world. He hadn't played the original Fate/Fate series, wasn't familiar with the side quests, and his memories of "Hei Dai" were limited to the occasional animations and the figurines, merchandise, and posters he saw on the street.) Takashi San only knew that he seemed to have summoned a powerful Servant.

"Then can I call you Miss Altria?" Xiaosan asked tentatively.

'This guy seems...' The girl frowned slightly, seeming a little unhappy that Takashi San called her "real name": "Just call me Saber, Master."

Kouzo immediately understood what she meant, nodded, and responded, "I understand, Miss Saber."

Kouzo suddenly realized something... He remembered that Altria should like to eat. So, he suggested, "Miss Saber, why don't we go get something to eat first."

The girl was slightly stunned. Actually, having just been summoned, she wasn't feeling hungry and had plenty of magic power.

At this moment, Xiaosan did not realize how much financial difficulties his blurt-out "suicidal" proposal would cause him.

Chapter 17: 017 Servant Summoning: The Ancient Hungry King (Part )

Altria nodded gently, her movements graceful and composed...even the simplest gestures revealed her regal demeanor. She followed Kouzo into the elevator, out of the apartment building, and into the bustling streets of Tokyo.

Even at night, Tokyo was still bustling with activity. Although Altria was wearing black armor, which made her stand out, in a country like Japan, where subcultures thrive, especially in a metropolis like Tokyo, her outfit didn't attract much attention.

Among the people coming and going on the street, you can sometimes see people wearing cosplay costumes of two-dimensional characters, or other styles (tattoos, dyed hair, non-mainstream, leather suits, maid outfits)... In such an environment, Altria's presence seems less abrupt.

Takashi San took Altria for a walk on the street. He introduced the surrounding architecture and culture to Altria from time to time, while Altria listened attentively with a cold face, and occasionally nodded to show her understanding.

They walked through the shops, and Kozo took Altria to try takoyaki and matcha ice cream. It would have been fine if they hadn't tried them, but once they did, they couldn't stop.

Aside from renting and taxis, everyday necessities aren't necessarily more expensive in Tokyo than in smaller cities. Kozo understands that densely populated areas can keep logistics costs down.

A typical set meal at Tokyo McDonald's (one burger, one fries, one drink) costs between 1 and 1 yen. But Altria had already eaten 1 burgers at McDonald's alone, not counting chicken legs, drinks, fries, nuggets, and more. It looked like she could keep eating... Kouzo figured she'd spend at least 500 yen.

Altria was completely immersed in the food, devouring it with gusto. She looked completely different from the cold king from before.

However, this scene quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding customers. People cast surprised glances... Some even pulled out their phones and started recording, hoping to capture the image of this armor-clad, gluttonous girl. (Over time, Altria became famous as the "Giant Eater Girl" wandering around Tokyo. Her videos received a lot of views on YouTube and YouTube.)

The crowd of onlookers gradually increased, but Altria didn't seem to care. She continued to concentrate on enjoying the delicious food in front of her that she had never eaten before.

Kozo sat aside, watching Altria eat with a smile. "It's just my first time (eating these foods), so it's inevitable that I'll be a little exaggerated," Kozo consoled himself. If you calculated it carefully, a single meal would cost tens of thousands of yen, and Kozo couldn't afford to support Altria right now.

At this time, a clerk quietly walked up to Xiaosan, lowered his voice, and said half-jokingly: "Where did you find a girlfriend? I used to envy you, but now it seems that you have worked hard." There was a hint of sarcasm in the clerk's words, and he patted Xiaosan's shoulder sympathetically.

Upon hearing this, Xiaosan showed an awkward smile on his face... He didn't say much, and he didn't know what to say.

As night fell, the hustle and bustle of Chiba Prefecture gradually subsided. In the living room of Yukino's house, soft lights cast a light on the simple and tidy space. Sitting on the sofa was Haruno, her long hair gently draped over her shoulders, a gentle smile on her face.

Yukino was busy making tea, her movements graceful and skillful (thanks to Mrs. Yukinoshita's careful education and guidance, both Haruno and Yukino were versatile in household chores). As the boiling water poured in, the tea leaves slowly expanded in the water, emitting a light fragrance.

"If you have anything to say, just talk on the phone. There's no need to come here specially." Yukino said calmly as she poured tea. Her voice was calm, without a trace of emotion.

Yang No smiled and shook her head, "Oh, Yukino, don't be so cold. I need your help now."

Upon hearing this, Yukino did not stop what she was doing. "With your abilities, I think you don't need my help." Her voice remained calm.

Yang Nai sat on the sofa, her fingers sliding quickly across the screen of her phone, occasionally letting out a few chuckles. She looked up, a hint of playfulness glittering in her eyes, and a playful smile curled the corners of her mouth.

"Huh? Is that so?" Yang No said in feigned surprise, with a hint of ridicule in her voice, "If that's the case, Takashi San will really have to marry into the Shinomiya family, although there's nothing we can do about it."

Xue No's hands, which were busy in the kitchen, suddenly paused. She turned around and looked sharply at Yang No who was sitting on the sofa. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and it was obvious that Yang No's words had aroused her interest.

"What's going on?" Yukino's voice was calm and firm, revealing a hint of unquestionable seriousness.

Yang No continued to play with her phone, pretending to be surprised and said, "Oh, didn't Xiao San tell you?"

Xue No's eyes became sharper. She put down the cup in her hand, slowly walked to the sofa, sat opposite Yang No, and locked her eyes on Yang No's face. "Tell me."

Yang No told Yukino everything about her father's plan.

Upon hearing this information, Yukino paused, her chin resting on her hand as she lowered her head in thought. Her brow furrowed, clearly weighing the situation, she murmured softly, "This is indeed very troublesome."

Haruno winked cutely: "I have a suggestion, Yukino-chan."

Yukino looked up and her eyes met Haruno's.

Yang No smiled slightly, "Let's put aside our quarrel for now and cooperate. If we continue to fight, the fruits will be picked by outsiders, don't you think? Xiao Yukino."

After hearing this, Yukino was silent for a while, then looked at Haruno seriously and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

Kozo and Altria walked side by side in the neat and bright Uniqlo store in the mall. Altria, who had just enjoyed a delicious meal, had a barely perceptible satisfaction on her face, but it was soon replaced by her usual calmness.

Uniqlo isn't considered a luxury brand in Japan. As Japan entered an era of slow economic growth, people have shunned high-end consumption, preferring the cheap pleasures of low spending and affordable, value-for-money products. When it comes to clothing, Uniqlo is everyone's choice.

"Saber, buy whatever you like," Takashi said gently. Normally, girls like to buy beautiful clothes, but... he also noticed that Altria didn't seem very interested in clothes. Her eyes kept drifting to the crepe stand outside the store, which exuded an alluring aroma.

"As long as it's easy to move around in," Altria replied briefly, a hint of indifference in her tone. For a Knight King accustomed to battle and holding a high position, the choice of daily clothing was certainly not something she cared about, and such matters generally didn't require her concern.

"If you want to eat, I'll take you there after I buy clothes." Xiaosan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Altria nodded slightly, agreeing to his arrangement. Then... she quickly turned and entered the women's clothing section. Her movements were quick and decisive, as swift as the wind yet graceful. The salesperson tried to help, but was repelled by her unapproachable aura of a king.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds... 19 seconds later, Altria returned to Takashi San with a few simple and practical clothes in her hands, and asked in an almost commanding tone, "Are these okay, Master?"

Faced with this situation, Kozo could only smile and nod in agreement. Although he was secretly surprised by Altria's style of behavior, he tried his best to remain calm.

After buying clothes, Kozo took Altria for a stroll on the bustling streets of Tokyo.

The moonlight shone on them, and they were surrounded by new things that did not exist in Artoria's time. However, to the ancient hungry king, everything except food was just a background.

"That looks good." Altria pointed to a barbecue restaurant and said seriously. Takashi San immediately took her inside and enjoyed a delicious barbecue. After the sweep, they continued on their way. Not long after, Altria was attracted by the aroma of a dessert shop. Takashi San smiled and said to Altria, "It seems that Saber has a good appetite."

Altria didn't answer, but walked quickly towards the dessert shop.

In the following time, Altria ate octopus balls, ramen and other foods that she had not eaten before. Whenever Altria saw something she wanted to eat, she would try it without hesitation.

Although Takashi's wallet was bleeding, seeing Altria's satisfied expression made him feel that it was all worth it. "Like, so similar..." Takashi looked at Altria and felt that when Ai Li grew up, she would look similar to her.

Finally, they returned to the apartment.

Takashi San asked Altria where she would sleep at night so that he could give her his bed.

However, Artoria replied bluntly, "No need, just transform into a spirit."

Kozo nodded, understanding. He knew Servants had this ability (from his memory of the Fate anime). But he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Wouldn't you be too lonely if that were the case?"

Altria hesitated for a moment...then, she said calmly, "Master, with all due respect, you talk too much."

Xiao San realized that he might have said the wrong thing and expressed the wrong meaning, so he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to rest well like this."

Altria sighed. "So gentle..." A subtle tenderness flickered in her eyes, a stark contrast to her usual cold image.

She closed her eyes, her body gradually becoming transparent. Before she completely disappeared, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. "Thank you for your hospitality tonight. I will keep you safe tonight, so rest well, Master."

Takashi nodded and replied softly, "Thank you, Saber. Good night then."

Takashi San's sleep was always sound, and this night was no exception... However, this tranquility didn't last long.

"Master, get up quickly."

The familiar voice of calling brought Xiao San back to reality from his sleep.

He drowsily opened his eyes, his vision still blurry. As consciousness gradually cleared, he was surprised to find Altria's face so close... Her otherworldly beauty seemed even more gentle in the morning light, and her face was so close that he could feel her delicate breath.

"Ah, is that Saber? What happened?" Takashi San responded blankly, his voice a little hoarse from just waking up.

"It's morning now, I think you must be hungry." Altria said seriously.

Takashi San wanted to answer reflexively that he was not hungry, but when he saw the other person's eyes full of expectation, he could not say no. Takashi San also knew that it was not him who was hungry, but she was hungry.

After all, after spending time with him last night, he had personally felt the Knight King's magnanimity... He could finally deeply understand the remarks he had seen circulating on the Internet in his previous life, such as "A poor guy like you can't afford to support the Arthur King."

Takashi nodded and smiled, "Well, I'm a little hungry."

Altria nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on her lips.

Xiao San came out of the bathroom, his face still covered with water, and he wiped it with a clean towel in his hand. When he looked up at the living room, the scene in front of him made him slightly stunned.

Altria had already changed into the clothes that she had picked for her yesterday... The upper body was a sleeveless black top that fit tightly against her body, showing off her slender arms and airport-like figure; the lower body was a simple and elegant pair of black leather pants that revealed her long and straight legs; and the feet were wearing a pair of leather boots, which added a bit of heroic spirit.
