I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

The restaurant's owner and head chef, Tonio Torrasadi, is standing by the table.

"Yeah, I had a good, satisfying fight with someone." Gu Ye's gaze shifted from the semi-transparent chat panel in the void and returned to reality.

Tony nodded, without asking any further questions, and simply smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Then he turned and went into the kitchen.

This restaurant doesn't have a menu; Tonyo will customize the most suitable dishes based on the guest's physical condition.

Gu Ye knew that this Stand user, who possessed amazing culinary skills, could cure various chronic diseases in ordinary people with his dishes.

However, for Gu Ye, who has cultivated Ripple for many years and whose physical qualities far exceed those of ordinary people, Tonyo's cooking is more of an ultimate enjoyment of taste.

While waiting for the food to be served, Gu Ye turned his attention back to the points mall in the chat group.

He skipped over the exorbitantly priced items on the homepage, such as "Pangu's essence blood" and "Pangu's heart," as the long string of zeros at the end made his eyes dizzy.

After sifting through the items, his gaze finally settled on a few items related to the Stand.

DIO! How to Get to Heaven!

They're selling it for 100,000 points!

ultra!

I'll give you my diary, can you give it to me in return?

Garlic Bird, Garlic Bird, let's see if there are any items that can enhance the Stand.

Substitute Arrow - 50,000 points

Substitute Arrow - 100,000 points

Substitute Arrow (Perfect Awakening Version) - 100,000 points

Second Stand - 100,000 Points

He silently closed the online store interface.

These things are best left unseen.

At this point, the chat group started to get lively.

[American Scythe]: I got 600 points, how about you guys? How many did you get?

【Marin】: I...I only got 100...but that's to be expected! I was basically just sightseeing the whole time, I didn't do much, so this should be considered a participation prize?

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Me too, 600. Perfect, I used these points to exchange for some things, and I feel more confident about this Holy Grail War.

[Rice Herald]: I only have four hundred.

Gu Ye looked at the messages in the group and tapped his fingers a few times on the input box.

[Weather Forecast]: Ugh~ I only have 1145 points, what a terrible number of points.

The message immediately caused an uproar in the group.

【Marin】: So many?! More than a thousand?!

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Wait, can a mission really give more than a thousand points as a reward? This is the first time I've ever seen this.

[Weather Forecast]: But what's the use of so many points? I looked around the store and found that I can't afford anything.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Don't be so ungrateful! You think a thousand points isn't enough? Do you know what six hundred points can do? I just exchanged them for a whole set of the highest purity magic ore, and a few sapphires. That's enough to upgrade the power of all the gems I have!

Rin Tohsaka's message was filled with undisguised excitement, as if she could already see herself dominating the Holy Grail War.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: If you give me a thousand points, my Magic Workshop's defense will double! You idiot, you're so full you don't know what it's like to be starving!

【American Scythe】: Haha, some people just love to show off.

【Marin】: Wow! The Holy Grail War! That sounds so cool! Rin-chan, what's that? Is it like one of those big online game events? Are there amazing rewards for winning?

[Herrscher of Food]: Gu Ye, are you alright? Although your score was high, this battle must have been very tough. Make sure you get some rest when you return to your world.

Compared to others, Mei's focus is always on the most basic things.

Her writing is gentle and sincere, bringing a sense of warmth to the reader.

[Weather Forecast]: Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm eating to replenish my energy.

Just as Gu Ye was about to continue chatting in the group, Tony walked over carrying an exquisite glass plate.

"Guest, your appetizer."

The plate contained not a traditional salad, but crystal-clear water droplets, soaking in a clear liquid, garnished with a few bright green mint leaves.

“This is ‘Capri salad’ made with natural mineral water from the Périgor Mountains,” Tony explained. “It’s incredibly effective at relieving muscle fatigue and mental stress.”

Gu Ye scooped up a water droplet with a silver spoon and put it in his mouth. The outer membrane broke gently, and a clear, sweet liquid instantly spread across his tongue, as if a clear spring was flowing through his limbs and bones.

Although my body didn't undergo a complete transformation, the deep fatigue left over from the previous battle did dissipate considerably.

"It tastes amazing," Gu Ye exclaimed sincerely.

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it." Tony smiled with satisfaction. "The main course will be ready soon, please wait a moment. Today's lamb will surely restore all your energy."

He bowed and returned to the kitchen.

[Weather Forecast]: Speaking of which, I know quite a bit about the Holy Grail War. Is Rin preparing to summon a Heroic Spirit?

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Hmm, I started preparing the summoning ritual as soon as I got back. The incantation and magic circle are both perfect; all that's left is to infuse it with magic power. What do you know? Don't keep me in suspense.

[Weather Forecast]: Many. For example, your Servant class will be Archer, I personally like to call him Red A, he's a white-haired, dark-skinned, and very fit athlete.

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: Huh? A physical education student? Are you sure you're a Heroic Spirit and not some ghost that wandered into the wrong show? Fine, as long as it's the strongest Saber-class, that's fine. Then tell me quickly, did I ultimately win the Holy Grail War?

Before Rin could get a reply in the chat box, the magic circle in reality gave her a devastating answer.

boom--!

With a deafening roar, the accumulated magic instantly went out of control, rampaging through the cramped basement like a wild horse.

The blast wave knocked her to the ground, and choking smoke filled the air, causing her to cough violently uncontrollably.

When the smoke and dust finally dissipated a little, Rin stood up, her body aching, only to find a scene of utter devastation.

The intricate magic array was completely destroyed, the walls were covered with spiderweb-like cracks, the chandelier on the ceiling was teetering on the verge of collapse, and the entire basement looked as if it had been visited by a demolition crew.

The center of the magic circle was empty.

"Failed?" Rin's mind went blank for a moment, but she immediately dismissed the idea.

Strong spatial fluctuations still lingered in the air, proof of the Servant's presence in the world.

She clenched her fists, rushed out of the basement, and ran towards the living room that had been affected by the explosion.

Then, she saw the man.

A large hole was blown into the center of the living room, and the wreckage of various furniture pieces piled up to form a strange "sofa".

The white-haired, dark-skinned man sat on the pile of rubble, arms crossed, scrutinizing the home he had turned into a mess.

He was wearing a red and black tight-fitting combat suit, exuding an aura of foreboding and steel.

Rin's breath hitched for a moment as Gu Ye's teasing remark about a "white-haired, dark-skinned PE student" flashed through her mind.

She suppressed her anger, adopted the demeanor befitting the head of the Tohsaka family, and asked in a cold voice, "I'm asking you, are you my Servant?"

Upon hearing this, the man turned his sharp, hawk-like gray eyes toward her, a faint, sarcastic smile playing on his lips.

“Although you’re a third-rate magician who can even mess up a summoning ritual,” he stood up, looking down at her, “since you’ve summoned me, I’ll acknowledge you as my temporary Master. I am Archer, summoned in response to your call.”

This guy!

Not only did they blow up their own house, but they also dare to be so arrogant!

Qianxun/1○⒊⑺⒐⑧

Rin's temple throbbed. She took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm and not to argue with a Heroic Spirit she had just met.

“That’s good.” She straightened her back. “I am your Master, Rin Tohsaka. Please take care of me from now on, Archer.”

Chapter 36 An Encounter with Hai Meng

Over the next half hour, Rin truly understood what it meant to "not exchange a single word when you don't see eye to eye."

She also used Command Seals to show this man what a Master is and what a first-class magician is!

No matter how she tried to subtly probe him, the man who called himself Archer refused to reveal his real name or origins, claiming he had "amnesia" and "didn't remember."

"Seriously, clean this house up! This is your fault!" Rin Tohsaka threw the broom and dust at Archer.

Finally, looking at the mess in the room, the man clicked his tongue in exasperation and began to clean up the scene.

Rin sat down angrily on the still relatively intact sofa and vented her dissatisfaction in the group chat.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Damn it! This guy has amnesia! I don't even know his name or background, how am I supposed to devise a battle plan! I don't even know how strong he is!

[Weather Forecast]: Isn't that a coincidence? I happen to know about his background.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Really? Tell me!

Rin's eyes lit up instantly, and she leaned forward unconsciously, staring intently at her phone screen.

[Weather Forecast]: Well, his real name is Emiya, you can call him Emiya.

【Devilish Muscle Rin】: Emiya? Emiya?

jiu liu ling yi er liu er qi ling

Rin frowned as she stared at the red figure meticulously sweeping the broken glass into the dustpan, her mind racing.

Emiya? Was there such a hero in history?

She racked her brains but couldn't think of a single name related to it.

【Herrscher of Food】: The Holy Grail War is about summoning historical heroes to fight, right? Rin's world is truly amazing.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Theoretically, that's correct. But I don't remember any Heroic Spirit in history named Emiya. There's absolutely no record of him in the documents left by my father.

[Weather Forecast]: No, you know that. Besides, you should know each other.

[Devil Muscle Rin]: Impossible! I absolutely don't know her!

Rin denied it decisively.

She received the most orthodox magician education from a young age and is very knowledgeable about heroes and myths from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

She had read through the records of the Fourth Holy Grail War countless times, and there was no Heroic Spirit named Emiya at all.

[Weather Forecast]: Alright, seeing how troubled you are, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I'll just say it directly, his name is Emiya Shirou.

The words "Emiya Shirou" appeared on the screen and caught Rin Tohsaka's eye.

Her fingers tightened suddenly as she held the phone, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She looked up, her gaze passing over the phone screen, and fixed on the red figure wiping an antique vase with a rag.

Emiya...Shirou?

【Herrscher of Food】: Emiya Shirou, that sounds like a Japanese name. However, I don't recall such a character in Japanese mythology.

【Marin】: He's not in the mythology of Minecraft. Could he be a character from some obscure game?

[Devilish Muscle Rin]: Wait! What did you say his name was? Emiya Shirou?! Isn't that my idiot classmate?! He's not dead yet! How could he be a Heroic Spirit?!

Rin typed this message in the group almost subconsciously, her shock beyond words.

[Weather Forecast]: Who told you that only people from the past can be called heroes? Aren't future heroes heroes too?

A future hero?
