Chapter 374 Moonlit Night, Drinking, and Parting
Chapter 375 Moonlit Night, Drinking, and Farewell
Draco is indeed the talented emperor. Even if he has moved on to another future, his cooking skills are still not to be underestimated.
Under the close cooperation of Shuoyue and Draco, the delicacies that encompass Eastern and Western cultures were served one after another. The game of the Holy Grail has ended. Ritsuka and his servants who are about to contact Chaldea are also quite relaxed. They even jokingly held a big stomach king competition. The winner will have the right to order food in Chaldea for a week.
—— Needless to say, a certain Daimao and a certain rebellious knight are far ahead. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the consumption of food on the last day. In terms of production, there are also two chefs, Shuoyue and Draco, who are full of energy. In the end, this highly anticipated game came to an end.
Result of the game: a draw.
Food consumption: 250,000... (crossed out)
After the eating contest, the servants who couldn't rest started playing various games at Ritsuka's instigation, such as hopscotch, flying chess, eagle catching chickens...
It's childish for elementary school students, but just right for servants.
"The so-called hero must have stepped on the blood and bones on the ground to forge such a glorious name."
"Without the darkness that is so thick that it cannot be dissolved, how can people call for the arrival of light?"
"So, don't envy how eye-catching the heroes are. For them, ordinary people's games are more interesting than defeating dragons."
The courtyard is as clear as water. As long as you look up and look out the door, you can see Tamamonomae and Kiyohime lazily basking in the moonlight, and Ritsuka and Mashu work together to splash water on the beach with Dog Brother.
Without the forced sleep of Werewolf, the servants did not plan to go to bed tonight, but chose to play outside and enjoy the long-lost island night.
As for the two chefs in charge of dinner, after finishing their work, Shuoyue took advantage of the children's inattention and finally took the brewed wine and sat in front of the door with Draco, quietly admiring everything they had built.
Silver light leaked to the ground, and Tamamonomae used magic to create a cherry tree at the door. With the cool breeze at night, pink petals fluttered and fell, and colorful and gorgeous rain fell. The young man with white hair and golden eyes held his cheek and smiled and filled the wine.
"Wine, I want some too."
A slender hand held the wine glass and reached out. Shuoyue looked up. Before he could speak, Draco warned him:
"If you say something like 'children can't drink' to spoil the fun, be careful that I will bite you."
"... Ahem, got it, Your Majesty."
The trick was exposed. Shuoyue laughed awkwardly twice and filled her glass as well.
The amber-like wine fell into the glass, shook slightly, and then stopped, turning into a gem that was so clear that you couldn't bear to drink it.
Holding the wine glass with both hands, Draco's curious eyes were reflected in the gem through the glass wall.
"This glass of wine... is beautiful."
"Thank you for the compliment." Shuoyue smiled reservedly, "Then please have it, Your Majesty."
"Hmm." Draco picked up the wine bottle, sniffed it lightly, and then sipped it carefully, savored it slowly for a moment, and finally drank it full. The smell of wine was consistent, from the heart and spirit.
At first, she just felt comfortable. After a glass of wine, Draco's face was flushed. She swayed slightly and looked at the young man in front of her with drunken eyes.
"Shuoyue."
"Hmm?"
"You..."
"What's wrong?"
"Governor~~"
Draco's voice was soft, just like a kitten scratching a ball of yarn. Shuoyue's heart was shaken, and she hurriedly raised her head to drink to cover it up.
Calm down, color is emptiness and emptiness is color. Copper refining is absolutely not allowed... At least after the third spiritual foundation!
"Hey, I came here because of the smell. It seems that the chef has hidden good things and didn't share them."
Holding the rumored dried food pole, combing a long dark blue ponytail, wearing a kimono, Xiaojiro, who looked like he walked out of an ancient scroll, appeared in front of Shuoyue, with a smile on his face, but his eyes fell on the wine glass full of fragrance.
"With the moonlight as my companion, drinking with the beauty... As expected, Mr. Shuoyue is also an elegant person."
"Beautiful scenery, good wine, and beautiful woman." Shuoyue raised his glass and raised the corners of his lips, "How about it, do you want to come?"
"Ha, I will be satisfied with just one of them." Kojiro chuckled, lifted his robe, and sat down elegantly.
"Drinking and admiring the moon, oh, this is really good."
He watched the wine fall into the cup, and his tone could not help but be joyful: "It's a pity that Lord Shuoyue is not in Chaldea, and the red archer is so old-fashioned. It's hard to find a drinking buddy like you."
"Oh, have you found it? You are indeed an unparalleled swordsman." Shuoyue was not affected at all, and smiled, "It doesn't matter, just tonight is enough for us to finish this pot of newly brewed wine."
As soon as he finished speaking, his clothes were pulled by someone. He turned his head and saw that it was Draco who had left his seat at some point and stood beside him. His wine-red eyes were watery, as if hiding countless love words.
"Governor, hug."
Without waiting for Shuoyue to reply, the girl in the red dress opened her arms and fell into his arms like a swallow. The smell of wine and fragrance filled his nose, making Shuoyue dizzy.
"Hahaha...it seems that Shuoyue-kun is very lucky." Kojiro smiled and raised his glass, "Congratulations."
Shuoyue pulled his arm out from the warm and soft jade and clinked glasses with him: "Yes, I always feel that I am very lucky."
Coming to this world, meeting someone who is worthy of love and being loved, the future is also full of expectations...
Even though a long time has passed, Shuoyue still feels that he is the luckiest person in the world.
Xiaojiro looked at Shuoyue's smile, shook his head with some envy, and said with emotion:
"You are really very charming..."
Shuoyue accepted the praise with a smile, and then clinked the wine bottles and drank a glass.
Draco had closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly. Shuoyue and Xiaojiro drank and chatted while feeling comfortable and forgot the time.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, the wind stopped and the fragrance flowed, and people were also intoxicated.
After a few rounds of drinking, Kojiro looked at Sakutsuki and suddenly asked, "Did you take the Holy Grail on the island?"
"Oh?" Sakutsuki smiled, "Why do you say that?"
"After all, I have experienced the Holy Grail War, even if it was just a hazy dream." The guard didn't mean to blame him. He drank the wine and smiled, "When I first met you, I sensed that familiar breath on that overly huge demon pig."
"Not just me, the master must have noticed this, but she seems to have given up asking for it back."
"Ritsuka..." Sakutsuki put down the empty wine glass and sipped it for a while.
The wine he brewed was indeed strong enough. Even if he controlled the amount, his head was a little dizzy.
"She is a good girl, but she has to arm herself to shoulder such a heavy burden."
Sakutsuki looked down the hillside, where Ritsuka was enjoying Mashu's lap service, and beside him were Tamamonomae and Kiyohime massaging his shoulders and back... Seeing this, a certain young man felt jealous, lowered his head and looked at Draco's sleeping face, and gave up helplessly.
So far, he has met two masters of Chaldea, one Fujimaru and one Ritsuka.
Compared with the male Guda, Gudako's personality is obviously much more cheerful, but under this cheerful appearance, she has the same character as Fujimaru, that is, cautious and tentative about unfamiliar things.
It's not that her cheerfulness is a disguise, but just to protect human principles, she has to force herself to question and verify before giving trust.
She has no room for error, and once she fails, it means the destruction of human principles.
"So, Sakutsuki-kun, don't you consider coming to Chaldea? You should also be able to feel that Ritsuka has regarded you as a good friend, right?"
Kojiro straightened his back and his eyes were bright.
Without hesitation, Shuoyue smiled and shook his head: "It's not that time yet, but you can give this to her."
The young man snapped his fingers, and a silver necklace appeared on the table. Kojiro picked up the necklace and found a drop of platinum blood in the transparent gem.
"This is..."
"It can be regarded as a homemade magic device. It contains a drop of my blood with concentrated magic power, which is enough to support her to perform a Holy Grail summoning."
Shuoyue smiled and stood up with Draco in his arms.
"Are you leaving?" Kojiro put away the necklace and stood up as well, "I'll see you off."
"No need." Sakutsuki waved his hand, "I think Illya and the others are tired of playing. After telling Ritsuka, we'll return to the original world first - really, I still have to explain to my wife and Luvia."
"The Holy Grail has been taken away by me. After midnight tonight, Chaldea's communication will be restored."
Sakutsuki walked down the hill without looking back, "Thank you, Kojiro. It's fun to drink with you tonight."
Watching the young man leave, the man who came on behalf of the Master was speechless, just raised his glass and drank the last of the wine.
Really... a cool young man.
Arriving at the beach, Ritsuka stood up as if he had felt something and looked at Sakutsuki.
"Are we leaving?"
"Yes, take care in the days ahead."
"Don't make it sound like we're parting forever... Then, take care, Mr. Sakutsuki!"
Neither of them likes to drag things out. Sakutsuki smiled and turned around, meeting the gaze of Altria in the distance, and nodded silently.
They had already said what they needed to say, so there was no need for them to say more.
"Sakutsuki Onii-chan!" Illya ran over with her two good friends, "Are we leaving?"
"Yes, it's almost time. If we don't go back, we'll be too late for school."
"Ah!" Illya then remembered that she hadn't finished her homework, "This is terrible... That, Miyu, have you done your homework..."
Hearing this, Miyu silently moved her eyes away from Draco in Sakutsuki's arms: "I did it, but I can't let you copy it, Illya."
"Hey, why is this--!" Illya and Xiaohei shouted in unison.
"But I can accompany you and Xiao Hei to do it together."
"Hehehe, I knew that Miyu was the best~~"
"Okay, girls." Seeing that the time was almost right, Shuoyue called out, "Let's go!"
So, with the farewell of the Chaldean people, Shuoyue bowed gracefully and disappeared in the farewell sight.
Their trip to the island came to an end just like that.
