Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

Esdeath's personality is completely incompatible with Shirou Emiya's, and if Esdeath were to find out about the restaurant's existence, it would only add fuel to the fire.

If he could, he really hoped the night raid could be resolved on its own.

But if we let them solve it themselves, wouldn't that be similar to the original timeline?

Emiya Shirou was helpless.

He glanced at C.C., who was happily eating pizza, and then at Yu Meiren, who was holding a Western cookbook and taking notes diligently. He then turned on the TV with a snap and switched the channel to Lelouch's world.

In the scene, Lelouch is seen making a national broadcast on television. With his black helmet and black clothes, along with various exaggerated gestures that defy the limits of human movement, he is simply at the peak of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur).

Especially with Lelouch's equally chuunibyou-ish speech, which was slightly discolored under his helmet, it inexplicably felt incredibly exciting.

CC licked the cheese off his lips and leaned closer, smiling as he said, "I didn't realize this little guy had such good eloquence. He's managed to gather so many rebels and form such an armed organization in such a short time. That's quite impressive."

Emiya Shirou shook his head and said, "Far from it. I think his purpose is not pure. In other words, he and his Dark Knights are just a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit."

Moreover, his vision is too narrow. Relying solely on intelligence and command skills is insufficient for ultimate success. He is only seventeen years old; his experience and life experience are still too limited.

Shirou Emiya never had a good feeling about Lelouch, who was missing C.C. from the beginning, and his purpose was not pure either. His goal from beginning to end was not to help Area 11 stand up again.

His ultimate goal is to destroy the empire, save his sister, and avenge his mother.

Liberating Japan? World peace? Just incidental.

Furthermore, it can be inferred from this that the leaders of the world's three major powers all possess rather mystical political minds.

To be honest, those eunuchs from the Chinese Federation probably had more political acumen than the main characters.

However, it is indeed possible to use Brittany's power to quell the empire's internal strife.

The key lies with Lelouch.

As for the other troubles of the Night Raid, the source of its power, the Imperial Arms and the Imperial Guards, Shirou Emiya felt that even if these things were destroyed, future generations would continue to obtain them from Dangerous Species.

Unless all these dangerous species are wiped out once and for all, but that would be asking too much of a question.

Therefore, it is still necessary to have strong individual power to suppress these Imperial Arms users, especially General Budo and Queen Esdeath.

Speaking of which, quite a few restaurant customers can do this nowadays; the empty-nest old man and his family are among them.

If all else fails, Erica, Bell the rabbit, Enkidu, or Artoria will do.

Emiya Shirou glanced at his phone and made a plan. These Imperial Arms users could be defeated one by one by top-tier warriors, and then a few powerful warriors could lead an army composed of Knightmare to fight against the Imperial army.

It's time to give credit to Night Raid, optimize the Revolutionary Army's structure, and let them figure out the rest on their own.

However, the most urgent task now is to fool Lelouch.

After he told CC and Yu Meiren about his plan, CC said, "At this stage, I'm afraid this young man can't provide many Knightmare, right? After all, his Knights Order all need to use them."

"The Brittany Empire's mass-production Knightmare factory should have some in stock, right? Using the restaurant as a transit point, we can teleport instantly."

“Then what should the Empire offer in exchange?” CC asked.

"A Dangerous Species, a tamed Dangerous Species," Shirou Emiya offered a solution.

CC was stunned by this bold suggestion. "...You're something else, Shirou."

If Lelouch weren't a fool, he would definitely be interested in these things; he would accept anything that could crush the empire.

"So who's going? Me?" CC pointed to herself.

"Of course you have to go, but you alone are not enough. Lelouch probably won't take it seriously, and might even try to imprison you. After all, you are a very special person to him."

His intelligence shouldn't allow a woman who can easily grant others Geass to run rampant in places he doesn't know about.

CC nodded and then said, "So, do you want to come with me?"

"No, Yu Meiren plus Artoria, the three of you will do. You complement each other in every way, and your combat power is off the charts. This is enough to make Lelouch take you very seriously, but he won't dare to attack you."

For some reason, Artoria, who insisted on wearing her bunny girl outfit, looked over and asked, "Do I have to go too, Shirou?"

Shirou Emiya stared at Artoria's sexy outfit, unsure where to look.

Snow-white northern hemisphere, slender waist, long and beautiful legs encased in blue fishnet stockings, cute bunny ears on her head, all combined with Artoria's pure and dignified perfect face and her regal aura.

Most importantly, unlike the summoned Artoria who looks more like a noblewoman, this Artoria is only 20 years old! The prime of her life! And she looks like a 17 or 18-year-old girl!

Who could resist the charm of Artoria? Especially since she's a big white rabbit!

All Shirou Emiya really wanted to say was, "Merlin, well done!"

This all started a few days ago, the day after that idiot Merlin openly skipped work.

"Manager!"

Shirou Emiya was about to turn off the lights on the first floor when he noticed that the idiot Merlin was still standing at the door and hadn't moved to return to Camelot.

"Something wrong? You're not going to ask me to promote him again, are you?" Emiya Shirou dared not disobey his wife Yu Meiren's decree; Merlin's refusal to be promoted was politically correct.

"No, it's like this, my king wishes to see you alone."

"Artoria? Okay." Since it was Artoria who wanted to see him, then there was nothing to worry about.

After greeting a group of girls, Shirou Emiya followed Merlin to Camelot.

This was his first time in Camelot, and he immediately felt that the magic in the air was indeed much more abundant than in modern times. With just a breath, he could feel himself expanding rapidly.

As far as the eye can see, there is a majestic white city, which is Camelot, the holy city of ancient Britain.

"Merlin, how large is Camelot?"

"It's about half the size of modern Tokyo. Actually, calling it the capital isn't quite right; it should be called Britain."

It was the center of British political power and Artoria's favorite home.

This white, holy capital city is the envy of heroes from all corners of the world, who all yearn to join it and become a member of the Knights of the Round Table.

Because Artoria's father, King Uther, had carried out a massacre of evil magicians in his kingdom, Camelot is a holy city that will not tolerate the invasion of evil magic.

you sure?

I vaguely remember that one of Xiao Mo's mothers was a witch.

After Merlin led Shirou Emiya into Camelot, Shirou Emiya, under the influence of his Mind's Eye, always felt that someone was watching him.

But it wasn't malicious; rather, it felt a little strange.

It's a bit like the feeling Illya, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Edelweiss had when they looked at themselves.

So what does this feel like? It's not quite the same as how Yu Meiren looks at herself.

"Merlin, I feel like someone is spying on me."

Merlin's expression stiffened for a moment, then he chuckled dryly, "How could that be? Shopkeeper, this is your first time in Camelot, nobody knows you."

"Someone must be watching me, right? After all, you know that although I've changed a lot since then, I still left behind quite a few legends in Camelot."

"Is that so?" Emiya Shirou asked, still somewhat doubtful after hearing Merlin's excuse.

Indeed, it's my first time in Camelot, so there's no reason why anyone would pay attention to me. After all, I'm not exactly a stunningly handsome man; I'm just getting more and more like Archer (Red A) in terms of looks, height, and physique.

The only difference is that my skin is whiter than his and my hair is redder, hehe, I really look forward to seeing Red A's expression when I receive him at the restaurant!

However, this gaze grew increasingly intense and even dangerous as Shirou Emiya entered Artoria's room, until Merlin closed the door, completely cutting it off.

Emiya Shirou breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, I won't come here again.

When he looked up at Artoria, he was completely stunned, and then began to cough violently.

"Artoria, what kind of outfit is that?!"

Artoria touched her soft rabbit ears on her head curiously and asked cutely, "Is something wrong? Lord Merlin said this is a very common outfit used by the shopkeeper to entertain guests in modern life."

Emiya Shirou glared at Merlin: "Where did you get the money to buy it?"

You dog Merlin, I've never paid you a single penny!

Merlin chuckled and then said, "It was provided by Miss CC and Miss Riko."

Emiya Shirou immediately covered his face. These two women loved changing clothes the most, especially CC. In just the last two days since they came to stay together, Emiya Shirou saw her change her clothes at least four times.

Sister, you have an illness, you need treatment!

However, to be fair, Artoria's outfit was extremely damaging to Shirou Emiya.

So big that he had to bend over slightly and pull at the hem of his clothes, trying to cover a certain part of his body.

Artoria asked in confusion, "Manager Emiya, are you feeling unwell? The environment in the Age of Gods is indeed quite different from your modern environment. You'll get used to it in a little while."

"No, no, no, it's not because of that, and it's not important. Artoria, is there something very important that you wanted to see me about?"

"Yes, I want to arrange a marriage between myself and Manager Emiya."

"Cough cough cough cough!!!!" Shirou Emiya felt like he was about to cough up his lungs.

What the hell are you guys doing?!

Marry me?

Am I some kind of powerful force?

That was absolutely Merlin's stupid idea!

He glared at Merlin again.

However, Merlin looked at Shirou Emiya with an innocent expression and said, "It wasn't me."

"If it wasn't you, then who else could it be but Artoria?"

Artoria nodded her head very calmly, her rabbit ears bobbing up and down: "It's me."

???

Artoria, something's wrong with you.

What is the reason?

Artoria then handed a stack of documents to Shirou Emiya.

Emiya Shirou took it and looked at it. It was good. It was very powerful. Weren't these nobles afraid that one day Artoria would pluck out her ahoge and then take up the Holy Lance to vaporize them all?

However, being in Artoria's era, there was really nothing that could be done about it. After all, the common people were very ignorant during this period, and most of the nobles were not good people either.

The burden of a nation rests on the shoulders of a young girl; the pressure is unimaginable.

"So Artoria wants to use this method to shut these nobles up?"

"Well, as the shopkeeper also knows, there is no man in Britain who is worthy of our king. If our king had continued to disguise himself as a man, we would have had candidates for queen. But now that our king has decided to appear as a woman, we have no choice but to look for a suitable marriage partner. Unfortunately, we and the Knights of the Round Table have always believed that no one is worthy of such a perfect king."

Emiya Shirou breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn't another man, that was fine.

Although it's shameless, Shirou Emiya does have special feelings for Artoria.

When he heard that Artoria wanted to marry him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.

His desire was to be granted.

But his reason wouldn't allow it.

Yu Meiren hasn't even reached base yet, so adding Artoria seems inappropriate.

However, in doing so, I feel like I've become the kind of person I used to hate the most.

In the end, Shirou Emiya shook his head. "I'm sorry, I...can't, or at least shouldn't..."

Artoria showed no embarrassment at being rejected. She said, "It's alright. I can understand whatever decision Emiya-sensei makes. After all, I'm not exactly the kind of girl who can win a man's heart. Besides, Emiya-sensei has someone he likes."

These words left Shirou Emiya in a difficult position.

Is Artoria unlikable?

Forget it, look at that group of male escorts, they're all practically climaxing.

However, Shirou Emiya couldn't get over his inner turmoil.

Merlin said, "Actually, there's another reason."

"What's the reason?" Shirou Emiya asked.

"Artoria has been suffering from headaches lately due to overwork, and there is no cure for them, but she recovers after eating the shopkeeper's food."

However, the manager's pricing of the food exceeded Artoria's budget, so Artoria wanted to work at the restaurant in exchange for the food.

what?

Artoria is also going to follow in the footsteps of Jill Jiao Yulu and die from overwork.
