However, this is understandable.

In that ancient Uruk era, there was certainly no such abundance of entertainment.

It's perfectly normal for the King of Heroes to be so interested in this.

It's only 3 p.m. anyway, there's no rush.

Shirou was also curious to see the King of Heroes playing video games.

Just thinking about it makes me think it would be very interesting.

At this moment, seemingly sensing Shirou's slight hesitation, Gilgamesh spoke to him:

"Hey, kid!"

You should know about these things, right?

Upon arriving in the modern world, Servants obtain basic information about the present from the Holy Grail.

But this may not include these less important entertainment details.

Kirei Komine is not the type to play games at all, so naturally she knows nothing about these things.

That's why Gilgamesh asked Shirou a question.

"It's alright, I know a little bit."

Shirou nodded.

It's 1993 now.

Shirou, who was extremely knowledgeable about all sorts of entertainment in later generations, naturally knew how to play games.

"Alright, I'm quite interested in that game called Street Fighter. Let's have a match and see how it goes."

After saying this, Gilgamesh reached into the void.

He took out a golden object and threw it to Shirou.

"Of course, I won't let you play along for nothing."

"..."

Shirou stared blankly at the golden disc in his hand.

This thing looks like a clock.

The clock face is decorated with metallic flames and rays, with white stones inlaid on top, and a thick piece of yellow-green stone inlaid at the bottom to form the edge of the clock.

However, giving this as a gift always felt unlucky to Shirou.

I'm only 7 years old and you're giving me a clock?

You want me to die, don't you!

Shirou's lips twitched slightly, feeling rather speechless.

However, in Gilgamesh's time, such taboos probably did not exist.

Even if such a thing existed, it would be nothing more than fleeting clouds to this capricious hero-king.

The treasures in the Gate of Babylon are all genuine, and Gilgamesh would not put anything of insufficient value into his treasury.

Therefore, the value of this clock is absolutely immeasurable.

If other magicians saw this, they would definitely get angry and start fighting with Shirou.

"Then, let's go."

Shirou accepted the treasure without hesitation.

Then, he led Gilgamesh and Kirei Kotomine into the arcade.

Upon entering the arcade, Shirou glanced around; the arcade had several areas.

Dance machines, pachinko machines, slot machines, and a fighting game section.

"Kid, how do you play this game?"

Not long ago, after descending to the mortal world, Gilgamesh often wandered around Fuyuki City.

This behavior was tantamount to prematurely exposing the general to the public eye, so Tokiomi Tohsaka strongly opposed it, but to no avail.

After visiting various places, Gilgamesh found those so-called high-end places quite boring.

On the contrary, he was quite interested in the arcade here.

Among them, the fighting game that Gilgamesh liked the most was Street Fighter.

This game, released in 91, was extremely popular.

Basically, everyone in this arcade knows how to play a game.

Unfortunately, Gilgamesh couldn't find anyone to fight at the time, so the project was put on hold.

"Then let's go."

Shirou bought some game tokens and then put them into the machine.

Gilgamesh sat in front of the machine, examining the joystick with great curiosity.

"This is a punch, this is a kick, this is a jump... Okay, you've learned it all. Come and spar with me."

Shirou explained the basic controls to Gilgamesh, and then the game began.

As a Heroic Spirit, Gilgamesh could learn this quite easily.

Even though it's just the beginning, it's already equivalent to the level of an average person who has practiced for a long time.

The main difference lies in the Servants' reaction speed, which is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

If it were Shirou a week ago, he might have been brutally beaten.

But Shirou now also possesses the power of a Heroic Spirit.

They also have a wealth of experience in gaming.

Naturally, the character chosen by Gilgamesh was easily defeated.

"KO!"

These large words appeared on the screen.

"Damn it, come again!"

Gilgamesh gripped the joystick anxiously.

"Watch this move!"

Gilgamesh was defeated once again.

"You bastard! How dare you make me lose so humiliatingly!!"

Gilgamesh gripped the handle with gritted teeth, glaring at Shirou.

Chapter 58 Mapo Tofu

Inside the arcade.

Kirei Kotomine was standing behind Shirou and the King of Heroes, staring intently at the game screen with a serious expression.

If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they would probably think he was watching a professional game.

Several hours passed, and it was almost evening.

With another scream from the in-game character, he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Gilgamesh was already losing face, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

"This king... has actually been utterly defeated by a mere child!"

A mighty hero king, and a follower at that.

In this kind of common entertainment, they actually lost to a 7-year-old child.

Like the strip, it was completely powerless to fight back.

This incident made him feel utterly humiliated.

"It was easier than I expected..."

Shirou not only didn't enjoy himself, but he even found it a bit boring.

Seeing that it was getting late and I still had things to take care of, I decided to get up.

"It's almost time, I have something to do..."

"Don't leave!"

Gilgamesh took out another treasure and slammed it on the table with a "bang".

"I command you, play one more round!"

"I will not allow you to leave until I defeat you today!"

"..."
