In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

While Gilgamesh was busy brainwashing his newly found toy...

Meanwhile, in the arcade in Fuyuki City.

Someone wearing a red battle robe that was completely out of step with this era, dressed in European style

His triumphant and cheerful voice made passersby who didn't know better think that he had encountered some good thing, or that he had won a big prize.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that sitting opposite was a young-looking elementary school student who had deliberately lost the game.

"Congratulations on winning! Now I should be able to go home, right? If I don't go home soon, it will be terrifying if my mom finds out I ran to the arcade after school."

Looking at the burly man in front of him, the little boy complimented him expressionlessly, while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Having held back the entire time and not used a single skill, the gorilla that had been pestering him and refusing to let him leave finally won. Now it's time for the next victim.

"Hmm? You're not done fighting already? I haven't had enough yet, how about we..."

"No! You've already won. Go find someone else! I have to go home."

Just as Rider was about to propose a rematch, the little boy immediately stood up, refused, yelled, and ran away without looking back.

The scene made the arcade owner feel a little sorry for the child.

As soon as I arrived, I was entangled by a strange foreigner who ordered me not to leave until he won. I was forced to play for several hours straight, and I probably won't want to touch games again for a while after I get back.

"Hey shopkeeper, give me the newest and most fun MMORPG in your store, all bundled up!"

Just as he was lamenting the little boy's encounter with the strange man, Iskandar's imposing figure appeared before him, and he took out several large pounds he had specifically stolen from Kenneth from his pocket, slamming them boldly onto the table.

Having just moved to a new base, Lemon Head was currently in the magic workshop with Little Master, preparing for battle, while Finn was responsible for keeping watch outside. This left him all alone; he couldn't even find anyone to play games with, which was why he came out for a stroll.

Looking at the thousands of pounds in banknotes on the table, the arcade owner swallowed hard, then cautiously replied, "Sir, due to exchange rate issues, it's difficult for our shop to give you change..."

"Change? No need! Bring me the good game, and the extra is a reward from me."

Iskandar waved his hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned about the exact amount of the premium.

"Oh? Really?"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner's eyes lit up, and even his gaze towards Iskandar brightened considerably.

This isn't some red gorilla; it's clearly a god of wealth! Since he claims to be a king, then he is a king. As long as the money is right, he can treat anyone like a god!

"Huh? You're... Rider?"

Just as the shop owner was rushing back to his inventory to get the goods, a surprised and arrogant voice suddenly came from behind Iskandar.

Iskandar frowned, then turned around and saw a young man dressed in black and white casual clothes, adorned with gold jewelry, and with naturally flowing golden hair, looking quite trendy and quirky. However, what surprised Iskandar more than his clothes was his familiar face.

"Archer?!"

Iskandar was clearly startled to see Gilgamesh here, but when he saw that the other was carrying the same bag and box as himself, he immediately realized who it was.

"You're here to buy games too? That's great! I knew I wasn't the only one who likes games from this era."

Upon seeing that Gilgamesh was also there to buy games, Iskandar's initial resentment vanished instantly. As if he had found a kindred spirit, he casually began chatting with Gilgamesh.

"Hmph, as a king, he should personally experience the entertainment of this era and thus judge its value."

Gilgamesh snorted and gave his decision to buy the game a high-class label.

"You're really something else. I'm different. I'm just here to enjoy myself."

"So, this is the difference between you false kings and me." Gilgamesh sneered, but Iskandar didn't seem to care.

The two chatted for a while and gradually became more familiar with each other.

"It just so happens that I've run into you, Archer. I've actually been looking for you all along."

Suddenly, Iskandar spoke to Gilgamesh in front of him.

"You've been looking for me all this time? Are you already itching to seize the Holy Grail?"

Gilgamesh didn't pay any attention to what this guy said.

"No, while the Holy Grail will certainly belong to me, there's no need to rush to conquer it. Think about it, Archer, this Holy Grail War has gathered so many heroes and champions from all times and places, even kings have appeared: Saber, Lancer, myself, and you—four of us. For me, this is truly a wondrous fate... Therefore, I want to gather everyone together before the Holy Grail War ends to discuss our ideals and beliefs, as well as our respective paths to kingship, and properly celebrate this hard-won destiny."

Iskandar looked at Gilgamesh in front of him and spoke with utmost seriousness.

"Oh? A royal banquet? That sounds rather interesting... However, as I have said before, I am the only one in heaven and earth who can call himself king."

Gilgamesh replied calmly.

So...

"Refuse?"

Iskandar calmly looked at Gilgamesh in front of him, not angry at the other's choice. After all, if he truly upheld the beliefs he spoke of, even if he chose not to come, that would still be a way of being a righteous ruler.

"No, it's very interesting. I agree."

Unexpectedly, Gilgamesh smiled slightly and then agreed.

"Since it is called the King's Feast, how can it be named that if I, the King, do not come? Since I am the true king, it is my duty to personally show you guys what the way of the king is."

"Hahaha, that's right, that's exactly how it should be! The clash of different beliefs and kingly principles is what I want to see. King Arthur has a castle in the suburbs; we can just go there to find her. It's a pity that the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom left yesterday, and I still haven't been able to contact her. This is quite troublesome..."

Although he was pleased to see Gilgamesh agree, the fact that Scáthach had disappeared was troubling him.

"Are you an idiot? Didn't you form an alliance? Why don't you just have your Master tell Scáthach's Master?"

Seeing Iskandar's troubled expression, Gilgamesh offered a reminder.

Considering Scáthach's recent performances, as well as her legendary status and strength, she was indeed a formidable opponent, perhaps even comparable to his best friend. Therefore, he didn't use his usual "miscellaneous cultivator" to address her, but instead called her by her given name.

"You're right, how come I didn't think of the fact that you can make phone calls in this day and age..."

Iskandar slapped his hand hard, and the furrowed brow immediately relaxed.

"Thank you, Archer. I will go and inform Queen Scáthach immediately. We'll meet there."

However, just as he was about to rush back and ask Weber to help him make the call...

Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice came from not far away.

"Oh? Are you looking for me?"

Chapter Fifty-Five: The King's Banquet (5,500 words)

"Oh? Are you looking for me?"

Just as Iskandar was about to go back and ask Waver to help contact Rowe to inform Scáthach, a clear, cold female voice suddenly came from behind them, causing Iskandar and Gilgamesh to turn their heads.

A loud car horn sounded in my ears, and then I saw a cool red and purple sports car parked quietly on the side of the road in Fuyuki City, looking very stylish and eye-catching on the street.

The car door slowly opened, and a tall woman wearing a smart white trench coat, sunglasses, and a beret stepped out of the car, holding a little girl's hand.

Scáthach calmly removed her sunglasses, waved to Iskandar who was clearly stunned, and then greeted Gilgamesh, who was staring at the sports car.

"We meet again, Archer."

She smiled slightly, then strode towards them.

Because of her elegant and handsome figure, coupled with Scáthach's already outstanding figure and appearance, she attracted the attention of countless passersby as soon as she appeared on the street.

Some people wanted to approach her, but seeing Sakura with Scáthach by her side, they could only stop in disappointment.

While everyone has a desire to look good, it seems she's already married...

"No need to look anymore, I'm right here."

Scáthach walked straight up to the two of them and smiled slightly, a hint of amusement appearing in her crimson eyes.

"Oh, I've seen that mode of transportation of yours on TV before. It's called a car, isn't it? I didn't expect you to actually get one."

Iskandar was clearly drawn to Scáthach's cool and stylish entrance. From the beginning, his gaze kept lingering on the sports car and Scáthach, and finally he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"I must say, this car really suits you, Queen Scáthach."

"Really? I think so too. Well then, thank you for your praise, Conqueror King."

Upon hearing this, Scáthach smiled slightly and then said nonchalantly.

"If you like, you can ask your Master to buy you one. I just used the allowance my Master gave me to buy this one, and it feels pretty good after trying it out. I'm currently on a game that circles around Fuyuki City. Interested in joining me?"

"Circling around Fuyuki City? Using modern transportation...?"

Upon hearing this, Iskandar shook his head and replied, "Although I am also interested in the means of transportation of this era, I have more faith in my Noble Phantasm and my old friend (warhorse) than in so-called automobiles. However, speaking of modern transportation, I am quite interested in the fighter jets of this era. If each soldier in my Royal Army were equipped with one, I believe they would definitely become stronger!"

"A fighter jet combined with a Noble Phantasm... Haha, Conqueror King, you really have some ideas."

Upon hearing this, Scáthach couldn't help but smile.

"..."

However, compared to Iskandar and Scáthach, who were on the same side, Gilgamesh's expression was rather strange. Shortly after they appeared, his gaze shifted from the sports car to the little girl beside Scáthach, and he was thinking—

This little girl looks familiar...

Gilgamesh stared at Sakura Tohsaka's face and pondered for a moment before quickly coming up with the answer.

Is she Tokiomi Tohsaka's daughter?

He suddenly remembered where he had seen this familiar face before—on the wall of the Tohsaka residence, where there was a family photo of his family.

Moreover, during this time, he often saw Tokiomi Tohsaka holding a photo of this little girl and sighing. He never expected to see her here.

He remembered that Kirei Kotomine had said that Tokiomi Tohsaka had given one of his daughters to another magical family for upbringing, which must have been this little girl.

In other words...
