Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"That's right, I am Ms. Gudako, a modern magician who loves life and food!"

She looked at Siduri and smiled:

"Thank you, Siduri, for preparing such a sumptuous Uruk meal for us last night. How about we try some modern cuisine today?"

Siduli looked at the things in front of her with curiosity, and smiled when she heard this:

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Just then, a golden figure suddenly appeared at the doorway and said without any politeness:

"You guys are planning to cheat on me behind my back?! That's incredibly disrespectful!"

"I want some too!"

Chapter 423 A Lively Banquet

"king?!"

King Gilgamesh's uninvited arrival was somewhat unexpected for everyone.

But the other party didn't explain anything further, and just sat down at the table without any hesitation, naturally joining the banquet.

"What, are you surprised to see me?"

Gudao scratched his cheek and said:

"That was indeed somewhat unexpected..."

"It's quite an unexpected delight that the King would grace this place with his presence!"

At this moment, Ushiwakamaru produced a pot of wine and a wine cup from somewhere and smiled at Gilgamesh:

"It's rare for Wang to join us, how about we have a few drinks together?"

Gilgamesh was speechless.

"You're drinking before the food has even arrived? Are you an idiot?!"

Despite saying that, he still took the wine glass and let Ushiwakamaru fill it for him.

Gudao and Mashu were a little nervous at first, but seeing that Gilgamesh was not as aggressive as before, they gradually relaxed.

Looking at the large pile of modern kitchen utensils and ingredients in front of her, Mashu smiled enthusiastically at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Gudako-san, let me help too!"

Although she had originally planned to cook for everyone herself, she readily agreed with a smile since Mashu was willing to participate.

"Sure, let's all come together!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, Siduri silently examined the unfamiliar yet novel kitchen utensils in front of her, her eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and invited:

"Would Miss Siduly like to come along?"

"I……"

Siduri smiled shyly:

"Did you notice? I'm very interested in these kitchen utensils and ingredients from the future... In that case, please allow me to help out."

So the cooking team grew rapidly. Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have thought of something and smiled as she looked at Anna beside her.

Anna's true identity is Medusa, or more accurately, Medusa Lily, who is the pre-evolutionary young Medusa.

Speaking of which, there are already quite a few Medusa-type Servants in Gari.

Of course, it's still far less than the number of Servants in the Artoria and Sakura factions.

Getting back to the main point, the most important thing is that she remembered Medusa's cooking skills were actually not bad.

"..."

Meeting Fujimaru Ritsuka's smiling gaze, the two stared at each other in silence for a moment. Anna finally gave in, silently approaching Fujimaru Ritsuka and awkwardly saying:

"...My job is to chop vegetables at most."

Although her original plan was to avoid contact with others as much as possible, for some reason, she was completely unable to resist Fujimaru Ritsuka's smiling gaze.

...I inexplicably felt like my older sisters were watching me, and without realizing it, I gave in...

In short, the cooking team was finally assembled, and the division of labor was clear—Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were the head chefs, Anna was in charge of cutting and preparing the ingredients, and Siduri was in charge of assisting—and the kitchen quickly became lively and busy.

"Speaking of which..."

Mashu gently pressed the start button and watched as the oven light came on. She asked curiously:

"Miss Gudako, how do these machines work?"

"Of course it's still electrical energy! But to be precise, it's electrical energy converted from magic."

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained with a grin:

"These machines have been specially modified. They contain crystals that store magical energy, and then magical runes engraved inside convert the magical energy into stable electrical energy to support their operation."

Mashu suddenly realized:

"I see!"

Hearing their conversation, Dr. Roman on the other end of the communication device couldn't help but gasp in astonishment:

"In other words, in a sense, those kitchen utensils are no different from magical costumes, right?"

"That's so extravagant..."

Furthermore, the storage space in the opponent's possession, which was identical to Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon, was actually only used to store these things.

If such extravagant behavior were seen by orthodox magicians, they would probably be green with envy.

"Isn't this great!"

Leonardo da Vinci, standing nearby, chuckled:

"I actually quite admire this kind of behavior. Perhaps, this is the true meaning of magic?"

"maybe."

Dr. Roman sighed subconsciously.

From the moment firearms appeared, he found it increasingly difficult to understand the current situation.

And then there's Gudako, who calls herself a modern magician; she's shrouded in mystery.

A modern magician who can leave his mark on the Throne of Heroes must not be an unknown figure, but he couldn't think of any famous magician who could be his counterpart.

Moreover, they can provide such a large quantity of firearms...

"Doctor, Da Vinci, aren't you going to rest yet?"

Gudao's concerned words brought him back to reality, and upon hearing this, he smiled:

"We're about to change shifts."

"Although many unexpected things happened today, there haven't been any particularly urgent problems yet. You should all get some rest tonight!"

"Doctors too."

"It's done—!"

Soon, Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived at the table with a plate and smiled at everyone:

"The real highlight is yet to come, but if you'd like to drink, try this first!"

"This is……?"

Everyone looked curiously at the food on the plate, and the moment they saw what it looked like, Gudao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in delight:

"It's tempura!"

Mashu, who was not far away, took a moment to turn around and explained with a smile:

Tempura originated from Portuguese cuisine and was introduced to Japan by Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century, where it quickly became popular.

"By the time we live in the 21st century, tempura has become one of Japan's representative dishes."

"Huh, is that so?!"

Ushiwakamaru and Musashibo Benkei, who were Japanese vassals, immediately became interested upon hearing this. Ushiwakamaru smiled enthusiastically and said:

"Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to give it a try!"

"Why is it so lively today?"

Just then, Merlin, who seemed to be doing nothing all day, returned from outside with his usual smile on his face.

Upon seeing Gilgamesh, he raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Oh my, the King is here too? This is truly a rare sight!"

"Lord Merlin, you've returned just in time!"

Upon seeing Merlin, Ushiwakamaru greeted him warmly:

"Gudako and the others are preparing modern cuisine. Such a special banquet definitely deserves a few more drinks!"

"Oh?"

Merlin looked at the busy figures in the kitchen and the various things that did not belong to this era. His expression was slightly surprised, but then a look of great interest appeared on his face.

Then, he looked at the tempura that had just been placed on the table, his eyes lit up, and he strode forward, smiling:

"Haha, looks like I got back just in time!"

"And there just happened to be a glass of wine, was it poured especially for me?"

"This is really..."

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!"
