This trial yielded a large number of Master Points, and we can see if BB comes up with anything new later.

Xia Yan noticed a small detail: in the past, his Master rank would increase every time he cleared a trial, but this time he obtained a lot of Master Points, but his Master rank was still at the Priest level. It seems that the number of points required to upgrade his Master rank will increase significantly in the future.

Looking at his attribute interface, Xia Yan realized that he already had three items and Mystic Codes that could improve Servant stats, so he started thinking about how to allocate them.

Xia Yan brought up the Servant attribute panel and examined it carefully.

The three items I have are two Holy Grail Fragments that can increase magic power and one Steel Forge that can increase strength.

The increase in magic power is meaningless for the martial arts-oriented Cú Chulainn and Musashi, and Euryale is an EX-rank that cannot be improved, leaving Morgan as the only option.

Although Morgan's magic power has been restored to the standard value of A+, there is still a plus sign box next to the value that can be improved, unlike Euryale's magic power EX which has no option to be improved.

No one has ever said that a Servant's stats cannot exceed the standard values ​​in the FGO game. Since there is a plus sign, it means that it can still be improved. Xia Yan decisively chose to continue to increase Morgan's magic power.

After using two Holy Grail fragments, Morgan's magic power increased from A+ to A++.

Even inside the safe house, Morgan keenly sensed his own enhancement and cast a gentle glance at Xia Yan.

As for improving strength, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment between Musashi and Cú Chulainn, but ultimately decided to leverage the strengths of both, allowing Musashi, who already had higher strength, to receive further enhancement.

After using the Steel Forging Technique, Musashi's strength increased from A to A+.

After finishing his work on improving his stats, Xia Yan temporarily focused his energy on the kitchen.

After redeeming ingredients with 1 point, Xia Yan immediately got busy.

As the number of Servants increases, the pressure of cooking also gradually increases. Xia Yan really wishes he had a Servant with EX cooking skills to share the burden with him.

Wait a minute, even though I don't have one in my own safe house, there are some in Fuyuki City!

A wicked plan to freeload a meal at the home of a kind family who never refuses anyone and has amazing cooking skills on a day off popped into Xia Yan's mind.

Of course, Xia Yan didn't intend to put all the pressure on Shirou. Cooking for these Servants who were like family to him was a happy thing in itself.

While Xia Yan was busy in the kitchen, the Servants all started doing what they were interested in.

Euryale simply sprawled out on the sofa in the living room, waiting for dinner to be served.

Musashi looked around the safe house like a curious child, and then, while passing through the playroom, he was drawn to the game Cú Chulainn was playing and joined in.

To Xia Yan's surprise, Morgan didn't go to read the book. Instead, he put on an apron and went to the kitchen.

"Xia Yan, let me help you."

Morgan rolled up his sleeves, looking very enthusiastic.

"No need, you've had a tough time fighting in the trial, go and get some rest."

Xia Yan said warmly.

Don't underestimate me.

Morgan grabbed the basin Xia Yan was washing vegetables from and said, "Although it's been a long time, when I first set foot on British soil, I also had experience doing all sorts of housework."

Seeing Morgan's swift movements, Xia Yan smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Okay, leave it to me."

The way the two worked together in the kitchen was just like the husband and wife of the family.

"Dinner's ready!"

Xia Yan took off her apron and placed the last dish on the table.

Wow.

Musashi's eyes lit up at the sight of the table full of dishes, while the other Servants remained remarkably calm.

"Delicious! This is so delicious! That's delicious too!"

Musashi, having eaten until he was stuffed, patted his slightly protruding belly and smiled contentedly.

Xia Yan, who finally had a chance to rest, arranged a bedroom for Musashi, then washed up and went back to his room to rest early.

Perhaps due to fatigue from the trial, Xia Yan quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Fuyuki City, Emiya Residence

After finishing dinner, Cú Chulainn took advantage of the others' inattention and ran to Fuyuki City, where he found Artoria, who had just finished eating.

"Saber, please, fight me."

Artoria, who had been earnestly asked by Cú Chulainn, took a sip of tea, and the ahoge (cowlick) on her head shook in confusion, just like its owner.

"Lancer, sparring is definitely no problem, but is something on your mind?"

Upon hearing Artoria's words, Cú Chulainn gave a wry smile.

"Morgan, please!"

"Musashi, thank you for your hard work!"

During the recently concluded trial, Cú Chulainn clearly felt himself being gradually marginalized.

He didn't blame Xia Yan for being biased, since Xia Yan's judgments were always based on the most correct choice at the moment. But as a Celtic warrior, he felt ashamed that his strength was gradually falling behind Xia Yan's needs.

He, Cú Chulainn, the Child of Light of Ireland, yearns to be a trustworthy asset to his Master, Xia Yan, and to fight alongside him on the battlefield.

After subtly expressing her desire to become stronger, Artoria didn't say anything more.

The two went to the forest near Einzbern Castle and fought until dawn.
