Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

Then I realized that my chest felt a little tight.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Chest tightness?" Artoria muttered to herself, frowning, as she took off her undershirt, revealing her fair skin.

Then, I froze.

"This, this, this, this, this!"

Artoria stared in disbelief at her chest, letting out a startled cry, "They've suddenly gotten so big!!!"

In the Knight King's memory, he used to be able to see his own feet when he looked down.

Now when I look down—I can still see my feet, but only a large part of them. Before, I could see them all!

"How could this be? Is it because I stopped using the Golden Sword that my body started to regenerate?"

Artoria thought that was very likely the case.

What should I do? Should I put the golden sword back on?

Now that it's bigger, it's harder to hide!

If those landowners and nobles outside found out that I was a woman, what would happen? Britain would be doomed!

No, I have to get my golden sword back! This flabby thing is really bothering me!

Artoria resolutely put her clothes back on and prepared to go find Merlin.

Soon, Artoria arrived at Merlin's magic workshop and asked bluntly, "Lord Merlin, I feel I should wear the Golden Sword again!"

Merlin was stunned, then asked, "Why is that, Your Majesty?"

"I feel that the excess fat on my chest is really affecting my dignity!"

Well, I figured I couldn't let myself fall behind on updates, so I got out of bed and started writing again.

The second update is here. Please enjoy this late-night snack.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Unfortunate Male Protagonist Makes His Appearance

Merlin's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

What? Artoria wants to go back to her original form?

That won't do!

Such a king does not understand people's hearts!

Moreover, the king has absolutely no need to worry about the Knights of the Round Table; aren't they all blind?

Merlin searched his workshop and then took out a new suit of armor and handed it to Artoria.

"Don't worry, Artoria. You must believe that gender is never a reason to be great. What is needed to rule a country is talent, not gender."

Unlike the armor Artoria wore before, this armor completely conceals the upper body, with the chest panel being more prominent, and the lower body is a short skirt.

It was clearly a woman's armor, which left Artoria completely baffled.

"...Lord Meilin, isn't this even more inconvenient? It's too short!"

Moreover, the space in her chest is too big!

Artoria looked down at her own breasts, which were the size of an apple, then at the armor that could fit two large melons, and at the size that was clearly not suitable for her height.

What does this mean? Is it implying that I will still develop?

Artoria fell into deep thought. Merlin's words made some sense. As the ruler, I really don't need to care about these things, but what about the opposition within the country?

They are still spreading their childish rhetoric everywhere, stirring up trouble, and are determined to overthrow their rule.

This is why Artoria always wears a helmet when she goes out—to cover her overly youthful face and make herself appear more dignified.

But things are different now. Through a mirror Merlin placed on the table, Artoria can clearly see that her appearance has become more mature than before, her body has become more curvaceous, and she seems to have grown taller.

At this rate, it might even get higher in a few days, making it even harder to hide that I am a woman.

"Lord Meilin, do I really have to present myself as a woman from now on?"

Artoria was quite resistant and uncomfortable with it.

Merlin thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, Your Majesty, I'll modify this armor into a men's style for you. I'll give it to you after you stop growing. For now, just wear a chest wrap."

"Stop developing? How long will this continue?" Artoria was a little confused. She couldn't get any bigger, or she wouldn't be able to hide it anymore!

Merlin circled Artoria once and said definitively, "I estimate it will take another day."

"Only one day? I wonder if Emiya's food can stop my growth..."

Merlin replied somewhat guiltily, "The shopkeeper is incredibly resourceful. Artoria, why don't you ask the shopkeeper to give you some more green papaya juice?"

“Green papaya, is that right? Okay, I understand.” Artoria nodded seriously, which made Merlin even more guilty.

Artoria suddenly asked, "Lord Merlin, why did you return to Camelot so early today? I remember you returned to Camelot very late yesterday."

Merlin said, "Because there weren't many customers in the store today, the manager let me come back early."

The Knight King, unsuspecting, said, "Then you should also take the day off tomorrow. There will be a roundtable meeting tomorrow."

"Okay." Merlin was hoping he wouldn't go tomorrow. What if that elf caught him and beat him up? Did he, the great magician and sage of Britain, have no dignity?

Inside the restaurant, the exhausted-looking boy apologized to Aozaki Touko and casually found a table to sit down, only to discover that there was no menu on the table.

"Boss, don't you have a menu?"

While Shirou Emiya was still guessing who this person was, he immediately replied after hearing the question, "Our specialty is that we don't have a menu. Customers can eat whatever they want. There's no dish that I can't make."

"The boss is very confident. Then make me a bowl of stir-fried ramen, the portion size is fine."

Emiya Shirou nodded, turned and walked into the kitchen, leaving behind his towering figure, like a culinary god.

Aozaki Touko became interested and decided not to leave. She wanted to see if this boy came from another universe.

As for Yu Meiren, she slapped the table and looked at the boy, saying, "Please pay first."

Aozaki Touko waved her hand and said, "Hey bro, are you a student?"

"Well, what happened?"

"You smell strongly of gunpowder on you."

The boy gave a wry smile. "My roommate was throwing a tantrum, so I came out to take refuge." At the same time, he shifted a few centimeters off the chair, seemingly avoiding contact with Aozaki Touko.

Aozaki Aoko leaned closer and asked, "What roommate? That's brutal! Did they use a gun? Are you from the police academy?"

The boy found it strange. Generally speaking, one should be able to recognize what kind of student one is by looking at the school badge on their school uniform, right?

Both women looked like worldly-wise women; how could they not recognize each other? Besides, there were just too many women in this shop!

I want to leave!

However, out of basic politeness, the boy still said, "I'm not from the police academy, I'm from the Armed Detective Academy."

"Armed Detective High School?" The two sisters were clearly hearing about it for the first time. Did such a school exist in their world?

The boy was even more confused. Did he not know? Or was he being played?

Just then, Shirou Emiya came out carrying a large plate of grilled meat and a steaming bowl of stir-fried ramen, and overheard the boy's words.

Armed Investigation High School?

Then I took a look at the boy's school uniform and school badge.

Emiya Shirou immediately understood; this was a tragic male protagonist!

He placed the grilled meat on Aozaki Aoko's table, and then handed the stir-fried ramen to the boy.

"Guest, please start eating. This bowl is on me."

"Hey!" Yu Meiren was immediately displeased. Why are you treating again?!

Emiya Shirou smiled and respectfully handed over two hundred RMB to Yu Meiren: "Don't worry, I'll pay."

The boy was a little confused. "Um, I have money, boss. Is this some kind of prank? Please spare me..."

Shirou Emiya sat down opposite the boy and asked, "Are you a student at Tokyo Butei High School?"

"Hmm, my school uniform is easy to recognize, right?" the boy said, pointing to his school badge.

"Then that's it. This bowl is on you."

Aozaki Touko asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, do you know him?"

"I've heard of this; these are guests from other universes."

"What other universes? So what kind of prank show is this...?" The boy was a little confused.

“Hey bro, this restaurant is really special. We actually come from different universes,” Aozaki Touko explained.

"WTF? Other universes? Is today April 1st?"

Emiya Shirou pointed to the restaurant's exit, "Guest, you'll understand once you go out and see for yourself."

The boy walked to the door, completely bewildered, pushed open the glass door, and walked out of the restaurant. Just as he was about to walk back, he froze in shock.

There was no restaurant in front of him; directly opposite him was a pastry shop, with an advertisement for peach-shaped steamed buns on the signboard at the entrance.

"???"

I, Kinji Toyama, am probably... encountering a ghost?

First update is here, please begin.

That woman, Zhang Wushijiu, is so despicable!

Kinji Toyama suspected he was hallucinating.

But he was still holding the restaurant's chopsticks in his hand!

Then, a moment later, he returned to the restaurant.

"What kind of superpower is this?" Kinji Toyama still couldn't believe that he had just walked into a restaurant without thinking and ended up in another universe.

"As you can see, this is not a superpower. It's the rule of my restaurant. In my restaurant, guests can see all sorts of people."

Kinji Toyama asked instinctively, "Can you see my older brother?"

Your older brother?

Ah, is that Kana Toyama who draws women but insists they're men, and who looks prettier than any of the female protagonists when dressed as a woman?

To be honest, in his previous life, Shirou Emiya once looked at Kana Boki on the cover of a novel.

To be honest, he hopes for a real female character, Kana Toyama, not a cross-dressing man!

"Is the guest referring to your brother, Kinichi Toyama?"

Kinji Toyama rushed forward excitedly, almost kissing Shirou Emiya on the lips, "The shopkeeper knows my brother!?"

Hmm? Could it be that Kinji Toyama doesn't know his brother is still alive?

In other words, Kinji Toyama may have only just met Kinji at this time.

Oh dear! That's wonderful!

I, Shirou Emiya, love nothing more than breaking up trashy heroines and miserable heroines!

Emiya Shirou immediately nodded: "As the manager of this restaurant, I know a lot of things and have met many customers. I have indeed met your brother, Toyama Kinichi, but that is a world that is somewhat different from yours."

Aozaki Aoko happily swallowed a delicious and juicy piece of grilled squid, fully fulfilling her duty as an interpreter: "Oh, I get it, parallel worlds in the same universe, right? There's a sly old man who loves playing this game."

Aozaki Touko understood. "You mean that Demonic Marshal?"

Emiya Shirou laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you old rascal, you're really bad, especially good at ruining your own disciples."

Kinji Toyama got impatient. "Why are you all talking about some lewd old man?! I'm still waiting for news from my brother!"

Emiya Shirou coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Yes, just as Aoko said, the Kinichi Toyama I saw was Kinichi Toyama from another world, but she seemed to be a woman disguised as a man."

"Pfft~", Kinji Toyama couldn't control himself and sprayed all the noodles in his mouth onto the dining table, making Yu Meiren so angry that she wanted to tear him apart on the spot.

Kinji Toyama coughed violently, not even bothering to wipe his lips clean. "Cough cough cough cough~~~ Manager, what did you say?"

"Yes, as you can see, Kinji, the Kinichi Toyama I met is actually a girl, using the alias Kinichi Toyama, whose real name is Kana Toyama."

Kinji Toyama was so startled that he dropped his chopsticks on the ground with a "thud." Fufu ran over and licked the tip of the chopsticks, revealing a cute and blissful expression, before being gently kicked away by Yu Meiren.

"You're filthy! You're licking everything, are you a dog?!"

"Foufufufu! (I'm so hungry!)"
