Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn't be surprising.

Surprisingly, they all chose green balls.

They both think of themselves as the other's son.

"..."

The middle-aged magician looked at the green ball in the red-haired king's hand, his brows furrowed.

The red-haired king looked at the green ball in the middle-aged magician's hand, and after a brief moment of surprise, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha-"

It was a laugh that came from the heart.

It was as if he had discovered something that made him extremely happy, even happier than conquering a country.

"You seem to have some misunderstandings about the king, military advisor."

He stretched out his huge palm and slapped the middle-aged magician on the back - the huge impact made the experienced magician instantly recall some experiences in his youth.

"A king is someone who is protected by his subjects and viewed as a form of hope."

"Thus, the king is a son, not a relative."

"But it's okay. It's normal that you don't know about this kind of thing - they don't know about this kind of thing."

The red-haired king threw the green ball in his hand, then forcibly put his arm around the magician's shoulders and walked towards the tavern in the distance.

——They were eliminated.

——But who can say they lost?

Chapter 128: Mother Illya, please give me your advice!

The departure of Rider and Caster was like a stone dropped into a river.

There were sounds and splashes - but after that, they were replaced by even more turbulent waves.

The game continues.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu were next to appear, and they chose the red and green balls respectively.

This expected result once again made Gilgamesh laugh happily.

But what happened next was somewhat surprising.

"I chose the red ball!"

Illya, the little girl who was less than seven years old, raised the red ball in her hand high, as if announcing something to her mother.

She doesn't want to team up with Irisviel!

She backstabbed her yesterday and said those words to Karen in front of her this morning... The little loli, who was already annoyed by her mother, wanted to take revenge in this way.

But Lisviel didn't care.

She smiled and stretched out her hand - the small green ball lay in the palm of her hand, silently telling the little girl with silver hair and red eyes what "your mother is still your mother" meant.

"Well, Mother Illya."

"Please give me your guidance!"

Irisviel was having a lot of fun and had even changed to a respectful title in advance.

But when Illya heard this name, she seemed to have received a fatal blow. She stood there with a dark face and a look of shock, unable to recover for a long time.

……

The last to appear are Shirataki and Altria.

They both held up their palms at the same time – one red, one green, a match.

"???"

Shirataki suddenly raised his head and looked at the ahoge with a surprised expression.

But the aho-haired demon had his eyes closed, and his face showed no expression at all, making it impossible to tell what was going on.

"Okay! Now everyone has finished forming groups!"

"Now I will announce the content of the competition."

"The competition consists of two items: one is [I want to do something for my father/mother], and the other is [I want to fulfill my child's wish]."

"Before the competition officially begins, I will ask everyone to fill out a form. Parents need to fill in the form "What is my favorite food?" and children need to fill in the form "I have a wish that I want to fulfill."

"Then, without revealing the contents of the form, let the child prepare the meal on his own. The parent will then consider and fulfill the child's wishes."

"After the competition, you'll be scored based on your completion of the form. Completing one item individually will earn you 2 points, and completing both will earn you 5 points—everyone will get points."

A very simple parent-child game.

The "child" is responsible for cooking, and the "parents" are responsible for fulfilling one of the child's wishes.

This tests the level of mutual understanding between parents and children.

Shirataki’s answer to the question “What do you like to eat?” was very simple – meat, he likes to eat meat.

But he was at a loss as to what to do next.

"So, what is Sister Daimao's wish?"

"Save Britain? Restore the glory of Camelot? It seems neither of these is true."

"Tsk... Come to think of it, what wish made her answer the summons and participate in this Holy Grail War?"

Shirataki imagined in his mind the great wishes that Altria had once made - but then he shook his head and rejected these questions one by one.

"No, definitely not any of that."

There was no evidence to support this judgment, it was based solely on Shirataki's understanding of her.

In other words, Altria actually has many wishes, but she won't write them down on that piece of paper.

"The wish she wrote on the note must be related to me."

"That is to say... that wasn't her real wish, it was just something she wanted me to do for her."

Looking at Altria who was concentrating on cutting a piece of beef leg with a knife, Shirataki, who had already realized the key to this game, had a burning gaze.

……

Today's game is relatively short, only one and a half hours.

But this is enough for everyone to prepare their "works".

Even a five-year-old girl like Tousaka Sakura carefully brewed a cup of steaming hot tea under the gratified gaze of her old father.

——Afternoon tea is indeed Tōsaka Tokiomi’s favorite. Sometimes he can skip meals, but afternoon tea is a must every day.

Black tea is undoubtedly the most representative food in afternoon tea.

Illya was clever again.

The answer she wrote on the slip of paper wasn't her favorite food—it was the food she hated the most (spicy food).

But Lisviel predicted her actions again and planned to cook a spicy dish that is very famous here, [Mapo Tofu].

Unfortunately, Irisviel's cooking skills were far from impressive. This android from the Einzbern family was a true kitchen killer. She spent an hour and a half making the finished product... well, let's just look at other people's creations:

The fried steak was made by Artoria, she certainly knew what the dragon liked to eat.

The food Enkidu prepared for Gilgamesh was a special flatbread from Uruk.

It was the kind of food that only people of low status would eat, but he still served it up in a dignified manner, making Gilgamesh so angry that his face turned black.

Gilgamesh could bet his entire fortune that the wish Enkidu wrote on the note was definitely "Eat this food."

The food Weber prepared for Kenneth was a sandwich.

Kenneth looked at the sandwich in front of him with a helpless expression, as if he wanted to say something - but when he thought about how he and Weber had been spending every day in the magic workshop doing various experiments in recent months, and that the food they had been able to fill their stomachs every day was indeed sandwiches or hot dogs, he nodded silently and acknowledged this fact.

All in all, most of the food prepared by [Zi] is consistent with what is written on the note - the few that don't are, you could say, done on purpose, so that no one can find fault with it.

Then, it is time for the "parents" to show the gifts they have prepared for the "son".

"This must be what Sakura wants."

The first person to come on stage was Tōsaka Tokiomi.

Full of confidence, he walked up to his daughter holding the Christmas hat borrowed from Joan of Arc Lily.

Becoming Santa Claus—isn’t this the wish she shouts out every day?

but……

"Not."

The moment when the Christmas hat was put on Loli's head.

The little saint on the referee's bench announced Tōsaka Tokiomi's match results:

"I'm sorry, you got the answer wrong. 0 points."

"That's not her wish."

"By the way, Santa Claus himself is there to fulfill children's wishes - how can a wish itself become a wish?"

Chapter 129: Father and Daughter, Master and Disciple, Friends

Tohsaka Tokiomi looked at Tohsaka Sakura.

Toosaka Sakura lowered her head and did not look at her father.

If Jeanne Lily hadn't reminded him, Tōsaka Tokiomi would never have realized that he had unknowingly developed such a deep misunderstanding of his own daughter.

【Want to be Santa Claus】.

This is indeed what the little loli named Tohsaka Sakura has been talking about recently and has been working hard for.

But as to why Sakura wanted to be Santa Claus, Tohsaka Tokiomi had never thought about it carefully.

He simply attributed it to the fact that Jeanne d'Arc, who was Santa Claus, had rescued Lily from the Matou family, and the huge appeal of the profession of "Santa Claus" to children.

Of course, we cannot say that his idea is wrong - after all, these statements are not wrong.

But from beginning to end, Tōsaka Tokiomi never considered what the deepest core of this wish was.

In other words, he never understood this:

What kind of wish and purpose did this little girl named Sakura Tohsaka have in mind that made her want to become Santa Claus?

"No, let's take a look."

The little saint sitting in the referee's seat handed a small note to Tōsaka Tokiomi.

The five-year-old girl couldn't write smooth sentences yet. She could only use the simplest words she knew to piece together the simplest two sentences:

"Dad, hug."

"I, don't want to, go."

……

It was a very affectionate hug.

It contains many emotions such as guilt, apology, determination, and pity.

It was the first time since she could remember that Sakura Tousaka cried when she was held in her father's arms like this.

At first, she sobbed quietly, but then her crying became louder and louder, and her tears became more and more numerous, and she couldn't stop.

——It is obviously impossible to expect a child to learn to suppress his or her emotions.

But in this environment, no one would say anything.

Although most bystanders could not understand what happened between the father and daughter, this simplest and purest expression of true feelings still inevitably brought them a shock to their hearts.

Among all the bystanders, Irisviel, as a "mother", is undoubtedly the one who can best understand Tōsaka Tokiomi's feelings.
