My fiancée Yukino

After a moment of silence, Saber looked at Illya and said, "Illya, just like Master said, I also believe that Kiritsugu will not forget you or come looking for you. But he lost in the Holy Grail War and did not obtain the Holy Grail, while you have the potential to become the Lesser Grail. The Einzbern will not let you leave."

Luo Bai nodded and said, "That's right. If you still don't believe me, I'll have you check the past flights to Germany. You'll definitely find Kiritsugu Emiya's flight records. Or, you can ask Shirou Emiya to verify it. Although he doesn't know what Kiritsugu Emiya did, he definitely knows about his occasional departures in the past."

Ilya didn't answer, but in her heart she already believed what Luo Bai and Saber said.

As for myself, as the Lesser Grail, if I continue to follow the course of the Holy Grail War, my fate will definitely be the same as my mother's.

Ilya wiped away her tears with her sleeve and looked at Luo Bai: "So, what is your purpose?"

Snapping his fingers, Luo Bai said, "To end the Holy Grail War and completely destroy the Holy Grail, do you want to join?"

Ilya nodded vigorously: "Count me in!"

Ilya couldn't be bothered with the Einzbern family's long-cherished wishes anymore; she'd deal with those guys properly later anyway!

Volume 1: Chapter 587 Barbecue Late Night Snack (1/2)

After discussing the general direction, everyone shared the same goal, and the next step is to take action tomorrow.

Watching the cake being quickly devoured, Luo Bai smiled and said, "Tomorrow, we'll start the real battle. However, because of Illya's special nature, we still need to be careful when facing Servants. Let's find an opponent first. If it's confirmed that the Servant will really merge into Illya's body after she agrees, then we'll send Illya away first."

Solving the Holy Grail problem is important, but we cannot sacrifice Illya's life for it.

After learning that Luo Bai came from another world, Ilya was also very curious about it, and she did not question it at all.

After all, in this world, the second magic of Gemstone Onzelridge can interfere with and observe parallel worlds, so the appearance of visitors from other worlds is not something unacceptable.

After Illya mentioned the Jewel King, Luo Bai also remembered this powerful figure and looked at Rin Tohsaka.

“Rin, speaking of which, do you have any contact with the Jewel Mage? The ancestor of the Tohsaka family, Tohsaka Nagato, was a disciple of the Jewel Mage, and he learned Jewel Magic from Zelrich. The establishment of the Holy Grail War system was also witnessed by the Jewel Mage. Now that we want to completely destroy the Holy Grail War, I think we should try to find him if we have the chance.”

Hearing Luo Bai's words, Lin also shook his head.

“Gemstone Elder, I have no way to contact him. Even my father back then didn’t have the method or the qualifications unless he took the initiative to appear.”

"I see. Then there's nothing I can do. But it's not like we really need the Gemstone Elder's help."

Luo Bai was more curious about the Gem Elder's second method than about getting help from the Gem Elder.

After finishing his tea, Luo Bai stood up and said, "I'm going to get some barbecue for a late-night snack. Does anyone want some?"

Upon hearing that there was more food, Saber's eyes lit up after she finished eating the cake.

At this moment, she didn't have any of the demeanor of King Arthur. After taking off her armor and wearing a blue and white dress, she was just a food-loving girl.

Ilya touched her stomach. She had come out in the afternoon and went to the Emiya residence after conducting some investigation in Fuyuki. She hadn't had dinner yet.

I glanced at the clock in the living room. There was still plenty of time before the time I had arranged to go back with Sera and Lizzie that evening. I should be able to eat something else.

Seeing that Ilya had agreed, Luo Bai told everyone to continue chatting.

He went to the kitchen and started taking out various meat ingredients to make barbecue.

The things stored in Luo Bai's bracelet are mostly various ingredients and seasonings.

After taking out a bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, Luo Bai remembered the gemstone that was inside, so he took it out as well and handed it to Lin after leaving the kitchen.

"Rin, take these things and make some when you have time. Go find Sakura tomorrow. We don't know yet if Rider has been summoned, and we also need to be wary of Zouken Matou."

Looking at the gemstone Luo Bai handed over, Lin said in surprise, "Huh? Didn't I tell you not to prepare this?"

"It's always good to be prepared," Luo Bai said with a smile. "Since you specialize in gem magic, it's always good to have more backup resources. Just take them."

Blinking, Rin looked at the bag full of various gems, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't envious.

Although I've managed to earn some income thanks to my family over the years, it's been steadily decreasing. It's just that Kirei Kotomine really doesn't know how to manage money at all. He's squandered all the family fortune and does nothing but have fun all day long.

Clutching the bag to her chest, Rin smiled and said, "Then I'll accept it without hesitation. I'll make good use of these gems to enhance my combat power!"

"Then come on."

After encouraging Rin, Luo Bai went back to the kitchen to continue working.

With the help of magic, and since the monster meat has undergone simple pre-processing, making barbecue is quite easy.

In less than half an hour, Luo Bai took out two electric baking pans, placed them on the restaurant table, and then brought out plates of prepared ingredients.

In addition to grilling the meat himself on the grill pan, Luo Bai also made some grilled meat skewers, which could be eaten while grilling.

"Come on, everyone, let's dig in!"

Although it's called a barbecue, you don't really need to do anything yourself. Under Medea's curious gaze, Luo Bai waved his wand, and the tongs for grilling the meat moved by themselves, picking up slices of meat and placing them on the grill for cooking.

"Oh! Is this your magic, Master? How interesting, it can even be used in cooking!"

Saber was very surprised to see this, and without hesitation, she picked up a skewer of grilled monster frog leg meat and took a bite.

With one bite, the abundant meat juices burst in her mouth, making Saber squint her eyes in satisfaction.

"This meat is so delicious! I've never had meat with this texture before. What kind of meat is this?"

Luo Bai took a sip of cola and explained with a smile, "This is the meat of a monster unique to other worlds. It's a monster frog, quite large, about three meters tall. It's not particularly strong, except for its great strength and its huge mouth, which can easily swallow a person whole. Anyone with a bit of fighting ability can handle it. In spring, these creatures sprout from the ground and forage for food, often going to herders' and farmers' homes to eat their livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and chickens. Therefore, there are many hunting missions every year. Because the meat is delicious, many restaurants also buy it. How about it, does it taste good?"

Not only Saber, but everyone else nodded in satisfaction after tasting it.

After eating some roasted meat, Medea's gaze returned to the floating automatic cutlery.

Then, she looked at Luo Bai and said, "Can you teach me this magic?"

After swallowing the roasted meat, Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Of course, this housework magic is one of the basic magics. Lin has all the books on these basic magics, including the basic introduction to magic from another world. But since she is still learning, I'll give you another copy. I happen to have some here."

As he spoke, Luo Bai took out three books from his bracelet. These were all basic magic contents that Elena had compiled, which Luo Bai had then organized and bound into books.

Medea carefully accepted the three books and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Thank you."

As a magician from the Age of Gods, Medea's pursuit of magic was naturally incredibly intense.

And now, the completely different system of magic from another world has appeared before her, which makes her even more curious.

Volume 1: Chapter 588 Morning Sparring (2/2)

After receiving the book, Medea couldn't wait to start reading it, showing little interest even in the roast meat in front of her.

Luo Bai could understand this. When Yukino and the others first learned magic, they were in a similar situation, each of them single-mindedly and wholeheartedly devoted to learning magic.

Luo Bai didn't pay any attention to her. He had the automated tableware put some roasted meat and vegetables in her bowl, reminded her to eat, and then let her continue reading.

Everyone enjoyed the late-night snack.

Saber, in particular, had her royal stomach thoroughly satisfied in less than two hours after arriving in the mortal world.

Moreover, Luo Bai prepared a lot of food, which made her eat to her heart's content.

Wiping her mouth with a tissue, Saber looked at Luo Bai and said with a smile, "Master, thank you for your hospitality, it was really delicious!"

"I'm glad you're satisfied. There will be breakfast tomorrow, Saber. You can look forward to it."

As he spoke, Luo Bai waved his wand, sending the tableware to the kitchen to clean themselves.

Ilya had finished eating, and patting her tummy, she jumped off the chair.

"It's almost time, I should go back, otherwise Sera and Liselle will worry."

Looking at Ilya, Luo Bai thought for a moment and then said, "Ilya, do you have a cell phone?"

"A cell phone? Yes, I do. Although I can contact you through my familiar, I still prepared an extra means of communication."

Nodding, Ilya took out a small cell phone from her pocket.

"Okay, let's exchange contact information then. If there's any emergency, just contact us directly."

Then, Luo Bai and Rin exchanged contact information with Illya and saw her off from the Tohsaka residence.

After Illya left with Berserker, only Lobai, Rin, Medea, and Saber Artoria remained at home.

Rin looked at Luo Bai and said, "Are you not planning to let Ilya join the battle?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "That's right. Due to the special nature of her Lesser Grail, she could easily absorb defeated Servants by accident, which would affect her body."

Luo Bai's words reminded Saber of Illya's mother, Irisviel, who was in the same situation during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

After resolving the Lancer master-servant conflict, Irisviel's body gradually gave out, but in order to support Kiritsugu Emiya, she chose not to tell him.

Looking back now, Kiritsugu Emiya's ideals may not have been wrong, but they could not have been achieved with a corrupted Holy Grail.

Saber now understands what kind of feelings Kiritsugu Emiya had when he gave himself the order to attack the Holy Grail after learning the truth.

However, this does not mean that Saber will change her opinion of Kiritsugu Emiya; his actions are still very extreme.

After thinking for a moment, Saber said, "In this Holy Grail War, including Berserker, we have three Servants. Although it seems like a lot, it's still not a sure thing when facing Gilgamesh."

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” Luo Bai nodded. “So, in dealing with Gilgamesh, we need to be prepared in two ways.”

"There are two points. First, we can't let him confront Illya. Illya being the Lesser Grail isn't a secret to Gilgamesh, so we must be careful he doesn't target her. Second, if we want to deal with Gilgamesh, we need to catch him off guard, preventing him from preparing or taking things seriously. Therefore, Gilgamesh is left to me and Saber to handle. If there are more people, even if he seems arrogant and nonchalant on the surface, he'll definitely use more force when he attacks."

Saber agreed, saying, "That's right. Gilgamesh is extremely confident in his power. He's unlikely to be interested in fighting at full strength unless he considers someone a worthy opponent. But, Matter, I don't have a sure way to defeat him, not even if I unleash my Noble Phantasm."

Luo Bai smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. Saber, you'll only be showing your fighting strength on the surface. I'll show you the real power tomorrow morning. It's a bit late now."

Then, he looked at Rin.

"Rin, which room will I be sleeping in tonight?"

Rin finally realized what was happening.

"Ah! I forgot! I'll go set you up right away! There are new bedding and everything, I'll go get them! Medea and Artoria, do you have any requests for the room?"

Neither of the Servants had any specific requests; they simply told Rin to arrange things however she wanted.

Then, Rin went upstairs and arranged the three guest rooms. It was time for her to rest.

........

After several days, Rin returned to her own home and slept in her own bed. She slept very well that night and didn't wake up until eight o'clock in the morning.

Upon opening her eyes, she slowly sat up and remained drowsy on the bed for several minutes before her hazy consciousness returned to her body.

"Ah, right, I'm back in my own world."

Rin rubbed her cheeks and got out of bed to change her clothes.

Just then, she heard the sounds of fighting outside and quickly ran to the bedside to look out.

Rin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Bai and Saber sparring in the courtyard.

"These two guys really gave me a fright this morning."

After confirming that it wasn't an enemy invasion, Rin leisurely went to wash up.

In the courtyard, both Luo Bai and Saber noticed Rin's gaze, but the two, holding bamboo swords, ignored it and continued their serious practice.

Faced with Luo Bai's relentless attacks, Saber focused her mind and prepared to respond. At the same time, she understood what Luo Bai had told her last night: why she was the one openly fighting against Gilgamesh.

The one who truly needs to deliver the decisive blow is Luo Bai.

In their current sparring session, Luo Bai is only demonstrating his swordsmanship, but Saber is well aware that Luo Bai possesses other powers as well.

Besides the surging yet unique magic that propelled her actions, Saber also sensed another, even more powerful force.

Although the specific outcome is still unknown, if Luo Bai is with him, they definitely have a chance of winning against Gilgamesh.

After fighting for another ten minutes, the two retreated in unison and put down their bamboo knives.

Wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, Luo Bai smiled and said, "How was it? Not bad, right?"

Saber nodded affirmatively: "Very impressive, Master. If your strength were in my era, I would definitely have you join my Knights of the Round Table!"

"The Knights of the Round Table, ah, this is truly a great honor, Your Majesty."

Luo Bai smiled, and then walked into the villa with Saber.

Inside the kitchen, breakfast, prepared by Luo Bai's magical kitchen utensils, was being served one by one to the dining table.

Upon seeing this, Saber immediately ran over excitedly.

The world is vast, but eating is the most important thing right now!

Volume 1: Chapter 589 The Church, Kirei Kotomine (1/2)

After breakfast, Ilya called to arrange a meeting place with Rin and the others.

After packing their things, Luo Bai and Saber stood together, looking at Rin and Medea.
