My fiancée Yukino

Luo Bai woke up right on time and opened his eyes.

Turning around, I saw that Artoria on the bed next to me had also woken up and had just sat up, staring blankly into space.

Yawning, Luo Bai propped himself up and said, "Good morning, Artoria."

Looking at Luo Bai, Artoria smiled and said, "Good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

Lifting the blanket and getting out of bed, Luo Bai stretched his arms and said, "It's alright. I don't have the habit of being in unfamiliar beds, so I fell asleep quickly. Come on, let's wash up quickly and do some exercise. Want to spar with me?"

"Of course!"

Artoria nodded happily, and after getting up, she used magic to change her clothes, from the white dress she wore to bed to a standard Artoria outfit of white top and blue bottom.

Upon leaving the room, Luo Bai discovered that apart from Medea, Rin and Ishtar were still asleep.

Without disturbing the two who were still sleeping, Luo Bai greeted Medea and then went to the backyard with Artoria. After washing up with some well water, they began their morning exercise.

He took out two unsharpened iron swords for practice, handed one to Artoria, and the two immediately began to practice.

Despite last night's conversation and interaction, Artoria seemed completely unaffected, remaining as focused as ever during practice.

However, Luo Bai had already noticed that since he got up, Artoria's gaze had fallen on him much more often than before.

Although it was subtle, it was still easy for Luo Bai to discover.

After practicing for half an hour, Rin and Ishtar woke up because their room was upstairs.

Yawning, Rin came to the window and looked at the two people in the yard, saying, "You guys are up so early."

Stopping at the opportune moment, Luo Bai planted the iron sword in the ground, looked up at the still sleepy-eyed Lin, and said with a smile, "You woke up too late. Hurry up and come down to wash up. After breakfast, we should discuss today's operation."

"Okay, okay, I'll come down now."

After spending some time changing her clothes, Rin went downstairs with Ishtar.

After washing up and having breakfast, everyone met up with Gudako and the others from next door, and together they headed to Gilgamesh's palace.

However, Merlin was nowhere to be seen.

Standing beside Luo Bai, Artoria asked softly, "That guy, he's not back yet, is he?"

Luo Bai shrugged: "Most likely, but don't worry about it. That guy is a Grand Rank candidate magician after all. Even if we go out, it will be easy for him to find us."

"Alright, let's just ignore him then."

Upon arriving at Gilgamesh's palace, the group found Gilgamesh already listening to the advice of his ministers and issuing commands.

After issuing an order to repair the city walls, Gilgamesh looked at Gudako and said, "You Chaldea members, there will be a series of work arrangements for you in the next few days. Just follow Siduri's instructions."

Gudako exclaimed excitedly, "Are we going to cause trouble for the Three Goddess Alliance?"

Gilgamesh glanced at Gudako and shook his head, saying, "No, you'll find out later. You can go now. And Luo Bai, you guys stay here for a bit."

Gudako muttered a few words in frustration, and could only leave the palace under Siduri's guidance.

After the other ministers had all left, only Gilgamesh and Lobe remained in the palace.

Ishtar crossed her arms and said, "Did you get some information by leaving us behind alone? Or at least you have something for us to do?"

Gilgamesh nodded and said, "Indeed, according to the message Siduri sent this morning, several cities have lost contact, and many people who went out have gone missing. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the enemy we'll be dealing with next."

Luo Bai nodded, knowing that all of this was done by Gorgon and Jingu.

"So, are you asking us to investigate?"

"The investigation is being carried out by my army; it would be a waste of time for you few to handle it alone. Rest and recuperate; the next few days will be crucial. In the coming days, I need you to practice your coordination with the summoned Servants, Ushiwakamaru."

"Yes, King Gilgamesh."

Niu Ruowan entered from outside the palace, smiling as he looked at Luo Bai and the others, saying, "Please guide me from now on."

Then, Gilgamesh looked at Medea and said, "I agree to the idea of ​​building a fortified position in Uruk. Whatever materials you need, just tell Siduri, and I'll get them for you. I only have one requirement: maximum defense and the strongest counterattack capability. Is that alright?"

Medea smiled and nodded: "Of course, that's what I do best."

Medea had originally been thinking about how to make things convenient and cost-effective, but now she sees...

With Gilgamesh, that tycoon, around, I don't need to worry about expenses at all.

In that case, many solutions that could only exist in ideas can be put into practice.

After the arrangements were finalized, Luo Bai and the others left the palace together with Niu Ruowan.

Ushiwakamaru said happily, "Lord Lobai, I will be working with you for the next few days! As a Servant, my fighting style is different from that of Leonidas I and Benkei. King Gilgamesh is bringing us together, so I suppose he wants us to carry out a decapitation operation. Let's cooperate well!"

Luo Bai was in a good mood, seeing the energetic Ushiwakamaru.

"Of course, after that we should find a place to have a good talk. The time for the battle is fast approaching, so we need to prepare properly."

After saying that, he turned to look at the sky.

"There's a malicious intent spreading this way."

"Oh?"

Ushiwakamaru glanced at Luo Bai curiously, then looked around and sensed his surroundings.

"No, does Lord Luo Bai possess some special ability?"

"That's it."

After they came out, Medea went to find Siduri with Rin and Ishtar. Besides Medea herself, Rin and Ishtar could also help with the work of building the base, and the efficiency could be increased.

Luo Bai and the other two headed towards the army training ground in the city.

Along the way, Artoria also looked at Ushiwakamaru's outfit with curiosity.

This outfit, which Luo Bai called "milk foam," made her feel so shy that she didn't dare to look at it.

Noticing Artoria's gaze, Ushiwakamaru asked curiously, "What's wrong, Your Majesty the Knight King?"

After hesitating for a moment, Artoria asked softly, "Won't it be a little inconvenient to wear clothes like this?"

Volume 1: Chapter 635 Sparring (1/2)

clothing?

Ushiwaka looked down at her clothes, then suddenly pointed to her breasts and said, "Oh, you mean here? Haha, it's okay, it's fine. It fits perfectly when you're moving around, so there won't be any accidental exposure."

Even so, seeing Ushiwakamaru's upright posture, Artoria's gaze still unconsciously drifted over.

The next second she realized what was happening and looked at Luo Bai beside her.

As expected, Luo Bai was also staring at Niu Ruowan's clothes, but his expression wasn't lecherous; instead, he seemed thoughtful, as if he was pondering something.

However, Artoria didn't care about any of that and quickly covered Luo Bai's eyes.

"Staring at a girl like that is very rude!"

With his eyes covered, Luo Bai could only helplessly say, "Okay, okay, let go, I know."

After Artoria released him, Luo Bai looked at Ushiwakamaru and said, "I'm sorry, Ushiwakamaru."

Ushiwakamaru, however, said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just that Lord Luo Bai treated me like a woman, which makes me feel flattered. Ah, we've arrived at the army's training ground, and Lord Leonidas is here too!"

Upon arriving at the training ground, we found that daily training was in progress.

Leonidas I, a Spartan warrior, naturally took on the task of training the soldiers, rigorously implementing Spartan training methods with meticulous attention to detail.

Benkei was also there, but he just stood by and did not take any action.

After greeting the two, Ushiwakamaru led Luo Bai and Artoria to another empty training ground.

Drawing his katana, Ushiwakamaru looked at Artoria expectantly: "Let's spar here. For better teamwork later, let's have a good spar. I really want to see the power of the legendary King of Knights!"

Artoria smiled and nodded, drawing her Excalibur.

"Of course, let's stop here then."

Luo Bai then stepped aside, smiling as he took out his phone and turned on the recording function: "Alright, let's begin. Everyone, please stop while you're ahead and don't get hurt."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two rushed towards each other and began to fight.

Since it's just a friendly spar, the main point isn't to determine a winner, but to showcase one's own strengths and understand the other person during the practice. There's no need to use any special abilities or anything like that.

When a Heroic Spirit uses their Noble Phantasm, it's considered unleashing a powerful attack, and there's no question of coordination or synergy between them.

If Artoria's Excalibur, an anti-army Noble Phantasm, can't defeat the opponent after unleashing a single burst of light, then there's no need for Ushiwakamaru to do anything; it's better to consider retreating.

Ten minutes later, the two stopped in perfect unison.

Sheathing his sword, Ushiwakamaru wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile, "As expected of the Knight King, your strength is truly formidable, and your swordsmanship is superb as well."

Artoria sheathed her holy sword and said with a smile, "Lord Ushiwakamaru is also very strong. When we face the enemy, I will confront him head-on, while Lord Ushiwakamaru can use the high mobility of the Rider class to launch a surprise attack."

"That `s a deal!"

Luo Bai, who was standing on the sidelines, watched the recorded video, nodded in satisfaction, and then said to the two of them, "Come and rest for a bit, have something to eat."

Then she took out a bottle of freshly squeezed juice and a box of sandwiches from her bracelet.

Upon seeing this, Artoria's eyes immediately lit up as she walked over and sat down next to Luo Bai.

Niu Ruomaru followed closely behind, sat down on the other side of Luo Bai, and took a glass of juice.

"Thank you."

After taking a sip, Ushiwakamaru's eyes widened: "This is... an orange?"

Luo Bai nodded: "That's right, freshly squeezed orange juice. Before setting off for Uruk, I prepared a lot of food, including fruit juice. I have preservation methods, so the food can always maintain its best taste. Try the sandwiches too, these are made with the meat of special monsters."

Ushiwakamaru took a sandwich, glanced at Artoria who was already happily eating it, smelled the aroma, and without hesitation, took a bite.

"Mmm! It's so delicious! The bread is so soft, the sauce is so rich, and this meat... it's kind of like chicken, but it's not!"

Luo Bai took a sandwich, took a bite, and said, "The meat inside is the thigh meat of a special large frog-like monster. The meat quality is quite good, isn't it?"

"Oh! There are monsters like this? They look really delicious!"

Ushiwakamaru nodded repeatedly, took another big bite, and ate with great satisfaction.

As for Artoria, who was sitting on the other side of Luo Bai, she had already started eating her third piece.

Ushiwakamaru didn't have as big an appetite as Artoria. He was almost full after eating two sandwiches and drinking a glass of juice.

Putting down the cup, Ushiwakamaru let out a satisfied sigh.

"It tastes so good! Did Lord Luo Bai make all of this himself?"

Luo Bai nodded: "Yes, when I have nothing to do, I like to research delicious food. Besides sandwiches, there are other things. I prepared some myself, and others were prepared by the rest of my family."

At this moment, Artoria picked up the last sandwich in the food box and looked at Luo Bai, saying, "Luo Bai, thank you for going to so much trouble. If I didn't have such a big appetite, I probably wouldn't have needed to prepare so much."

Luo Bai raised his head and rubbed his face with a smile.

He gently stroked Artoria's golden hair and looked at her, saying, "It's nothing. Our family is rich. We can eat whatever we want. Just eat as much as you want. Even without you, Artoria, we usually cook a huge meal. Mi Yu and Xiao Li Mao are both big eaters. It's just that we have one more person, so it doesn't make much difference."

Although Artoria has a big appetite, it still can't compare to the combined appetite of Mi Yu and Oguri Hat.

Feeling the warmth of Luo Bai's palm and seeing Ushiwakamaru's curious and gossipy gaze, Artoria couldn't help but blush.

Luo Bai shook his head, shook off his hand, took a big bite of the sandwich, and said no more.

After Artoria finished eating, Luo Bai tidied up the things, and the three of them found Gudako and the others in the farmland.

At this time, Gudako, Mashu, and Shirou Emiya, after being assigned tasks by Siduri, were helping to weed and do farm work in the fields.

Seeing Luo Bai and the other two approach, Gudako straightened up with difficulty, pointed at Luo Bai and said, "It's not fair! Why don't you have anything to do, but we have to do farm work?"

Luo Bai didn't answer, but smiled and shrugged, earning him another wave of Gudako's hatred.

Volume 1: Chapter 636 Gudako Finally on Vacation (2/2)

Fortunately, Luo Bai did not choose to stand by and watch. Although he did not go to work in the fields, he still provided Gudako and the others with some juice, which was chilled, to help them recover their strength.

Anna didn't go to work in the fields. She stood to the side with a glass of chilled mango juice in her hand, taking small sips, clearly enjoying the taste.

Seeing how much Anna liked it, Luo Bai smiled and said, "If you want something delicious to eat during your break, just come over here. There's plenty for you."

Although she wanted to deny it, the mango juice tasted so good that Anna couldn't resist the temptation and nodded.

After observing Gudako's work, Luo Bai, Artoria, and Ushiwakamaru arrived at Medea, Rin, and Ishtar's location.

The three of them are currently planning and constructing their base.
