Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

"Tch, what bad luck! I'm not doing today's experiment. Go tell the person in charge that I'm taking a break today!!!"

Accelerator turned and walked away without looking back, leaving Misaka 9201, who was participating in the experiment that night, to watch his back with a blank expression, looking somewhat lonely.

"Despicable! Despicable! Despicable!"

Muttering curses under his breath, Accelerator pulled out his phone, which rang at just the right moment. He pressed the answer button, and a voice that made him want to vomit came through: "Accelerator, this is Kihara Kazuta. Why aren't you participating in tonight's experiment? Don't you want to become invincible?"

"Invincible? Tsk, I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to participate. I'll wait until I'm in a better mood."

"Accelerator, you bastard! Are you trying to waste the hard work of countless research team members?! This is not the time for you to act recklessly!! I want you, now, immediately, right now, to participate in this damned Absolute Power Evolution Project!!!"

Accelerator slammed his phone shut, not wanting to hear Kihara Kazumi say anything more. "You want me to participate? Who do you think you are?!"

Hmm, wait a minute, this scoundrel seems to be directly under Aleister, so maybe he knows something?

Can I go and take a look at his research institute?

Accelerator still didn't completely believe Shirou Emiya's story. What magician, what angel, what demon? Accelerator would never truly believe it without seeing it with his own eyes!

"Then I, this great one, will thoroughly investigate whether that scoundrel of a shopkeeper has lied to me!!!"

With this in mind, Accelerator headed towards the direction where Kihara Kazuta was.

Inside the restaurant, the three sisters, their bond strengthened, began to consider their next move.

Matou Sakura clearly stated that she did not want to fight, and then shyly revealed that she had already confided in her senior, which made Tohsaka Rin and Sakura Edelweiss extremely jealous, even more so than eating lemons.

Finally, the two sisters said they needed to go back and prepare, leaving Matou Sakura to stay at the restaurant.

They had just stood up—

"Manager! I brought you some business! Can I get a permanent position today?!"

The idiot Merlin led a group of Knights of the Round Table and the indifferent Artoria into the restaurant.

Emiya Shirou was both amused and exasperated. He had just said he had no Servants, but now look what's happened.

Speaking of "tool people," here comes the tool person.

Second update

Um... do you have razor blades?

I like this

Why is King Arthur a girl? (Chapter 8)

Yu Meiren was furious when she heard Meilin's voice.

But seeing that Merlin has brought so many guests to the restaurant, we'll let him off the hook today.

Shirou Emiya sensed something was off about Artoria.

Why is this light so white? Oh, no, why are these legs so round?

Merlin, that son of a bitch, really took Artoria to get the Holy Lance?

Tsk tsk, if I remember correctly, this Artoria has only been queen for a short time, right?

Is it really okay to reveal that I'm a girl?

Are there no riots or uprisings in the country?

Shirou Emiya looked at Artoria seriously, and Artoria looked back at Shirou Emiya before saying, "Manager Emiya, it's been a long time."

The two books you gave me have been a great help to me. Now I have begun to promote the abolition of slavery, improve the tax system, and reduce taxes for commoners throughout Britain.

Furthermore, I encouraged craftsmen to be innovative and invent better agricultural tools, which would then be promoted nationwide.

Emiya Shirou highly praised Artoria's governing principles and policies that benefited the people, while also pointing out that nationwide reforms should not be rushed and should be carried out gradually.

Ultimately, this will enable Britain to transition from rural to urban development, and from manual labor to mechanization, allowing it to develop faster and better.

Artoria also pointed out that she will strengthen communication and cooperation with Grand Cooker, and made a request to allow the British Grand Master to stay at Grand Cooker to learn advanced technology and experience.

Emiya Shirou agreed to the request, stating that Merlin's existence fostered friendship between the Grand Cooker and Britain, and signed a ten-thousand-year lease agreement with Artoria regarding Merlin's ownership.

Britain will transfer the right to use and own Merlin to Grand Cooker free of charge in exchange for Grand Cooker's special hamburgers, fried chicken, and fries, exclusively for the royal palate.

The two leaders then posed for a group photo and presented the signed agreement and terms to the attendees.

This act of renting Merlin for free greatly enhanced the friendship between the two sides, and many British knights exclaimed in admiration.

Even Mr. Merlin, the person involved, shed tears of emotion. To welcome Merlin, another representative of the restaurant, Yu Meiren, specially crafted dozens of high-quality blood swords.

Finally, the representatives from both sides enjoyed the highly nutritious junk food prepared by Shirou Emiya himself at the Grand Cooker restaurant. Artoria, in particular, was even sucking on her own fair fingers.

Agravan, standing to the side, gave an awkward yet serious smile: Heaven knows what's going on, ever since our king lost his ahoge (cowlick), he's developed a particular fondness for fried foods and completely disdains Gao Wenqing's meticulously prepared mashed potatoes.

It is said that Gao Wenqing was forced to make Gareth and Gaheris eat the mashed potatoes he had painstakingly made, and to this day, they feel nauseous at the smell of potatoes.

After the meal, Artoria sipped a bottle of ice-cold cola and asked, "Manager Emiya, why were those two girls staring at me and my Knights of the Round Table?"

Emiya Shirou turned his head to look, and sure enough.

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Edelweiss sat next to Sakura Matou, occasionally glancing at the group of living Knights of the Round Table and King Arthur.

“Big sister, do you think we can tell them our request?” Sakura Edelfelt asked.

Rin Tohsaka pondered, "Hmm, the main body should be stronger than the Servant, and there are more of them. I heard that a Holy Grail War only has a maximum of eight people. We should be able to overthrow the Matou family without any worries and save Sakura!"

"Shouldn't we talk to you about this, senior?" Sakura Edelfelt seemed somewhat tempted.

Meanwhile, Shirou Emiya recounted the entire story to Artoria and a group of Knights of the Round Table.

Lancelot immediately exclaimed, "What! Such a thing has happened! I, a man of justice, cannot stand idly by! My king! I request permission to go to war! It is a knight's inescapable duty and obligation to lend a helping hand to an innocent lady!"

"Ah, how tragic! I deeply sympathize with this young lady's plight, and as a knight, I am willing to offer her my assistance!" Cui shed a tear of sorrow.

Galahad agreed, saying, "Indeed, and I also greatly admire the love these two ladies have for their families. Although they are not in the same world, their feelings and bonds should be closely connected."

I, Galahad, a Knight of the Round Table, am willing to assist the two ladies!

Gawain stood up and drew his fried chicken sword: "I, Gawain, am also willing to become the ladies' sword!"

"I really can't do anything with you guys. Since that's the case, I, Mordred, will swear with my sword that I will save this lady!" Mordred said, still wearing his helmet, his voice muffled.

The siblings Gareth and Gajeres also expressed their willingness to help: "Although our martial arts skills are not yet perfect, we are willing to fulfill the responsibilities of a knight!"

The three sisters were deeply moved by the Knights of the Round Table's statement. "This is what the Knights of the Round Table are like! I love it!"

Emiya Shirou said, "Well, before we go any further, let me explain the situation to everyone."

Gawain nodded and said, "Thank you, Manager Emiya. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle."

"First of all, this is the fifth Holy Grail War taking place in Eastwood City. Magicians have gathered in this small city in the Far East for their own wishes, all in order to compete for the omnipotent wish-granting machine—the Holy Grail."

“The Holy Grail?! Is it that legendary thing?” Galahad asked.

"No, that's not it. The Holy Grail of Fuyuki was a tool used by the founders of the Holy Grail War to open a hole and reach the Root. Making a wish was just a side effect."

Magicians summon their respective Servants, who fight each other for their own wishes. The victorious master-servant pair will have the opportunity to make a wish upon the Holy Grail.

Due to irregularities during the Third Holy Grail War, the Holy Grail was corrupted. During the Fourth Holy Grail War, the evil of this world within the Holy Grail leaked out, nearly destroying Fuyuki City.

Finally, a Master forced his Servant to destroy the Holy Grail, preventing all the evil in this world from flowing out.

By the way, that servant was you, King Arthur.

"What? It's actually our king!?"

A group of Knights of the Round Table gasped in surprise. They never imagined that their seemingly perfect king would have a wish that also needed to be fulfilled.

The Knights of the Round Table were filled with self-reproach. They wondered if their future selves were too incompetent and that their love had caused the king to have regrets.

No, we must make the King look at us with new eyes!

King Arthur himself was also a little surprised, thinking, "So I have this side to me too?"

However, if I have a wish that needs to be fulfilled with the help of the Holy Grail, it must be for my Britain, right?

I would surely regret it if I did not see my Britain prosper when I died.

Emiya Shirou continued, "And in the Fifth Holy Grail War, there are also great variables. In order to obtain the Holy Grail, the Matou family transformed Sakura into the Holy Grail. As the Holy Grail War progresses, the Servants who die will be absorbed by the Holy Grail, and their effects will inevitably be infected by the Holy Grail, influenced by the evil of this world, and thus do some... well, not very good things."

Rin Tohsaka swallowed hard and asked, "What do you mean by 'bad things'?"

Emiya Shirou said, "Because her body was modified into a pseudo-Holy Grail, Sakura gradually lost her human functions during the process of absorbing Heroic Spirits."

At the same time, all the evil of this world that has corrupted the Holy Grail also affects Sakura, causing her to sleepwalk and attack passersby at night.

"What?! Damn it!! The Matou family!!!" Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Edelweiss were beyond furious, wishing they could rush to the world where Matou Sakura lived right now and destroy the Matou family completely.

Sakura Matou shrank back slightly, biting her lower lip tightly. Crimson blood slowly trickled down her chin. Rin Tohsaka lovingly wiped away the blood, then held her in her arms and comforted her.

"It's okay, Sakura, everything will be alright. I'll protect you, Sakura."

"That's right, my sister and I will definitely help you get out of this nightmare. You also need to have confidence and think about your predecessors!"

Matou Sakura nodded gently and whispered, "Thank you, sister, thank you, my other self..."

King Arthur asked, "Then what should we do to avoid this phenomenon?"

Emiya Shirou said, "My suggestion is simple: Sakura stays at my restaurant, and I will send an employee to go with you. This way, after you defeat the other Servants, you can prevent Sakura from being used as a Servant to absorb the Holy Grail."

"Hey! Go! Send me, Shirou!" Riko was overjoyed. Wasn't this the intergalactic travel mentioned in the employee benefits?

She hasn't been to other universes yet, but Yu Meiren has. That's not fair!

Emiya Shirou said, "No, this operation is too dangerous. You can only easily defeat some weaklings right now. The average strength of the Servants is no weaker than Sherlock Holmes from your world!"

Yu Meiren reluctantly put down her Switch and said, "So, I guess I'll go instead?"

"No, this time we'll use someone else."

Touma Kamijou pointed to his face: "Me?"

Emiya Shirou nodded and said, "That's right, Touma. Your right hand is very effective against them, and once you go there, you can keep the time flow of the two worlds consistent. At the same time, you can also provide vision for the restaurant."

"Yes, you're like a signal generator or a camera. We can use you to understand the situation in the restaurant and make better judgments and decisions."

Touma Kamijou immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me! Isn't my right hand meant for this?!"

"No, Touma, your right hand has never existed for anything in particular. It has always existed for you. Only you can decide what your right hand can do."

"No one else is qualified, not even Aleister," Shirou Emiya said with a smile, patting Touma Kamijou on the shoulder.

Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Edelweiss could no longer contain themselves; "Shirou, how can we get to Sakura's world?"

"Don't rush," Shirou Emiya shook his head and said, "I haven't finished explaining yet. I need to explain to everyone about the seven Masters and nine Servants in the Fifth Holy Grail War."

"Nine people?" Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Edelfelt were puzzled, and even Sakura Matou was confused.

"That's right. In the Fifth Holy Grail War, there were seven legitimate Servants, one Servant who violated the rules, and one Servant left over from the Fourth Holy Grail War."

They are Artoria and Master Shirou Emiya.

"Shirou, you're in the war too?" Rin Tohsaka asked in surprise.

A group of Knights of the Round Table looked at their king: "How come it's the fifth time and it's still our king! How useless are we to make our king so obsessed with the Holy Grail!"

Artoria also became frustrated: "What happened to me in the other world? Why am I so obsessed with the Holy Grail?"

Emiya Shirou didn't seem to care and continued, "Cú Chulainn, Master Kirei Kotomine."

Gilgamesh, Master Kirei Kotomine.

Rin Tohsaka immediately said, "Wait a minute, how come this fake priest is also a Master in the Fifth Holy Grail War? Isn't he an Overseer? And why does he have two?"

Emiya Shirou explained, "That's because Cú Chulainn's original Master was killed by Kirei Kotomine, and Gilgamesh is the Servant left over from the Fourth Strike Force."

Incidentally, Gilgamesh was the strongest Servant in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and he even proposed to King Arthur during the war.

The Knights of the Round Table were immediately displeased.

Gao Wen simply snorted coldly, his attitude very clear.

Kai sneered, "Hehehe, you dare to make a move on my sister."

Mordred gritted his teeth and said, "Any thief who dares to covet my king's beauty deserves to die a thousand deaths!!!" What the hell? Daring to even set his sights on my father? Are you asking for death?!

"Ah, the thought of us going to punish such audacious thieves doesn't make me feel sad at all!" Tristan said, expressing his true feelings.

Lancelot was also furious: "Gilgamesh, I know him, the oldest king recorded in legends, but does he even deserve to propose to our king?!"

Shirou Emiya smiled and said, "Actually, Mr. Lancelot also participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War."
