Iskandar was wearing a white shirt with a world map on the chest, and a pair of jeans.

  Such an image was so different from Iskandar's previous image, which inevitably made Saber and Irisviel a little surprised. .

Chapter 40

  Irisviel, who was rich and powerful, stood up directly.

  "waiter, Bill please!"

  After swiping the card, Saber glanced reluctantly at the unfinished food, and followed Irisviel out of the restaurant.

  Shirou naturally followed and left.

  ……

  At sunset on the west mountain, the afterglow of the dusky setting sun casts the color of wheat ears on the street.

  At this moment, after taking everyone to the place where his Shenwei wheel was parked, Iskandar showed a heroic smile and opened his mouth to everyone.

  "I am planning to hold a banquet, and I want to invite the "kings" of this Holy Grail War to participate. Saber, as King Arthur, you are naturally one of the ones I invited."

  "This……"

  Saber looked at the wooden red wine bottle on Rider's "Shenwei Wheel", and fell into a brief thought about this sudden invitation.

  When Iskandar sent an invitation to Saber, Weber was half hiding behind Iskandar's huge body. He looked up at Irisviel, and he didn't know whether he was hostile or fearful.

  Then, Weber's eyes stopped on Shirou in front of Lancer again, with deep doubt and indescribable envy in his eyes.

  Because, just such a child, when he was a Master, he was able to be so good, which made Weber feel very envious and admired.

  "If only I could do that...but Rider is not a servant like Lancer at all..."

  For the conqueror he summoned, Weber felt a deep sense of melancholy and bitterness in his heart.

  Everyone is a Master, why is there such a big gap?

  ……

  Saber really couldn't maintain her hostility towards Iskandar's innocent invitation. After a helpless sigh, she leaned over to Irisviel and whispered.

  "Irisviel, what should I do?"

  Irisviel was also confused, and couldn't help but recall the image of Rider she had seen before.

  "He doesn't seem like the kind of person who can set traps, does he really just want to drink?"

  Rider once said.He would wait until the battle between Saber and Lancer was decided before challenging.

  Still abiding by the heroic spirit's pride and self-respect, his sudden appearance is really puzzling.

  "Could it be that the man wants to be soft on Saber?"

  "No, it's a challenge."

  Saber, who should have lost his will to fight, is now serious for some reason.

  "challenge?"

  "Yes... I am the king, and he is also the king. If you want to divide the wine table, it will be tantamount to a bloodless 'battle'."

  Perhaps hearing Saber's words, the King of Conquerors smiled and nodded.

  "Hehe, it's good to understand. Since we can't face each other with swords, let's use wine to decide the outcome, Knight King, I won't let you go tonight, so be prepared."

  "Interesting, I accept."

  Saber, who responded resolutely, exuded a fierce fighting spirit like on the battlefield.

  It was only now that Irisviel realized that this was not a joke, but a real "battle".

  Watching this scene, Shirou's heart was actually overjoyed. If the Servants gathered together, it meant that Emiya Kiritsugu, Tokiomi Tosaka and the others had no Servants to protect them.

  Although there have been some episodes before, this banquet was still held in the end.

  In other words, Emiya Kiritsugu will definitely observe this banquet in secret...

  While Shirou was leaning against his chin and thinking about how to find out where the other magicians were, Rider turned his attention to Shirou and Lancer.

  "Although I'm not a king, Lancer and your master should also come together."

  The King of Conqueror slapped the wine bottle on the "Kamiki Wheel" with his hands while laughing wildly.

  "Didn't you say this is the king's banquet?"

  Shirou raised an eyebrow.

  "Hahaha, that's what I said, but Lancer, as a hero who can fight for the Holy Grail with us, is naturally qualified to join this banquet!"

  "..."

  Unable to refute, Shirou felt a bit of a toothache.

  At this time, he refused the invitation, as if he was saying that he was afraid.

  After exchanging opinions with Lancer, Shirou nodded.

  "If that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

  ……

  The venue for the banquet was Irisviel's castle outside Fuyuki City, and by the flower bed in the castle atrium, Rider and all the invited people came here in their own way.

  Naturally, Rider was riding his "Shenwei Wheel", galloping in the unimpeded mid-air, sparks and lightning all the way, so majestic.

  Saber drove the Mercedes to and fro in the forest surrounding the castle, and the skill of drifting and cornering was enough to rub the so-called god of cars on the ground.

  As for Shirou and Lancer, because one of them is not tall or old enough to drive a car, and the other cannot drive, they can only sit in the Mercedes-Benz driven by Saber.

  "Orihara, speaking of which, can you tell me how you obtained Saber's real name and information about the Noble Phantasm?"

  Irisviel, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head slightly and asked Shirou, who was sitting in the back row.

  This question has been hidden in her mind for a long time. .

Chapter 41

  And when Irisviel asked this question, Saber, who was still concentrating on driving, also pricked up his ears and tried to listen.

  "This is..."

  Shirou was a little embarrassed about this question for a while, and couldn't help but use his right hand to support his cheek.

  He can't say that he knew it through anime, right?

  If they really answered like this, the other party would only think that Shirou was insulting their intelligence.

  When Lancer saw his strange behavior, he immediately asked in doubt.

  "Master, what's wrong with you?"

  Shirou waved his hand.

  "It's okay, I have a toothache."

  At this time, seeing that he was unwilling to answer, although Irisviel felt a little regretful, she could only give up.

  While Shirou was still thinking about how to answer this question, Saber, who was driving a Mercedes-Benz, slowly stopped the car.

  "arrive."

  "Get out of the car first."

  Shirou hurriedly opened the car door, deliberately avoiding the subject.

  ……

  Rider brought the wine bottle to the atrium, and the three Servants sat down and confronted each other leisurely.

  Irisviel and Webber sat side by side, guessing the development of the situation, realizing that this meant a temporary truce, and she just had to watch it.

  Shirou, on the other hand, did not separate far from Lancer because he and Lancer had a special banquet this time, but sat behind Lancer.

  Rider smashed the barrel lid with his fist, and the mellow red wine scent filled the air in the atrium.

  "Although the shape is odd, it's a wine vessel unique to this country."

  While talking, Rider smugly tapped the wine with the bamboo-handled spoon.

  Rider drank the wine from the spoon first, and then opened his mouth.

  "I heard that only qualified people can get the Holy Grail."

  The serious tone calmed the surrounding atmosphere.

  "And the ceremony to select the qualified person is this war in Fuyuki, but if you are just watching, you don't have to shed blood."

  "Both are Heroic Spirits, if they can recognize each other's abilities, then I don't need to tell them."

  "..."

  Saber took the scoop that Rider handed over without hesitation, and also scooped a spoonful of wine.

  Saber's petite body will always make people worry about whether she can really drink, but seeing her drinking freely, she is not inferior to the giant Rider at all.

  Seeing this, Rider let out a happy compliment.

  "Then, first of all, who are you trying to compete with me? Rider?"

  "Exactly, a real contest in the name of the 'King', but it's not called the "Holy Grail War", it would be better to call it the "Holy Grail Quiz"... In the end, who can be the king of knights and the king of conquests? What about being the 'King of the Holy Grail'? That's the perfect question to ask a wine glass."

  Rider changed his serious tone just now and smiled mischievously.

  Then he spoke again as if to himself.

  "Ah, speaking of which there is another person who claims to be the "king" here."

  "End the joke, bastard!"

  As if responding to Rider's unintelligible words.A dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone.
