15 Last Day in Nasuverse
Kojiro wakes up earlier and has some nice hot water bath using the hot water he prepared early inside his pocket dimension. After having a bath, He walks toward the marketplace to search for some food. While walking toward the marketplace, he spends his newly recharges Inspired Inventor to his Penetration (7/100), Simulation (5/500), Marksmanship (2/80), Anti-Magic Armor (6/275) and lastly Cooking (2/17).
After he spent all his points, Kojiro suddenly got a rush of knowledge into his brain. Now he has some knowledge of the recipes of many foods around the world because of his Cooking specialty. He has a knowledge of how to shoot any ranged weapon, including the primitive one. He also knows how to aim a moving target that has the speed of a race car.
His other specialty also gives him many more blueprints to tinker with later. Not only a new blueprint but also a blueprint to upgrade his current device.
While sorting the new blueprint in his head, Kojiro without knowing already arrived at the marketplace. When he is thinking about buying something, he then suddenly remembers that he doesn't have the money to buy anything in this world. He sighs a little before walking away from the marketplace to the Ryuudou Temple.
On his way to the Ryuudou Temple, He feels the presence of a servant near him. He looks to his right and sees Saber wearing a bodyguard costume. Next to Saber is Irisviel von Einzbern, the vessel to the Holy Grail.
He decides to get closer to the duo and greet them. However, when he is close to them, Saber pulls Irisviel back and shields her with Saber's body.
"Hello Saber, How are you today?"
"What do you want?"
Kojiro smiled a little at her protectiveness. He waves his hand at Irisviel as the Holy Grail vessel escapes from Saber's hand. She bowed to him before saying.
"Good morning, my lord."
"Lord?"
"Yes, you are the user of Kaleidoscope. You have a higher ranking than any magus."
"Heh, I don't know that"
They then decide to walk around the city while having a pleasant conversation. Saber, who still doesn't trust him, keeps her eyes on Kojiro like a hawk. When they arrive at the Ryuudou Temple, Kojiro wants to say goodbye, but before he could say it, He could hear a loud grumble coming from Saber's stomach.
He sees Saber's face become red as a tomato, and he can even see some smoke coming from her head. He chuckled a little before saying.
"Come on. I can cook you guys some food."
Saber hesitates at his offer, but Irisviel decides they will go. He then led them to his little shack behind the temple. Kojiro follows the bounded field that he created to conceal the path to his little home. After a minute of walking, they arrive at his temporary home. He sees the shocked face of both Saber and Irisviel after seeing his home.
"My lord, do you really live here?"
"Yup, now come on in"
When they get inside, Kojiro can see both Irisviel and Saber get shocked once more. On the outside, his house looks like a garage where people place their tools. However, when they get inside the place is ten times bigger than the outside, the inside also has a personal kitchen and portable sake maker on the table.
Kojiro led both Saber and Irisviel to the dining table. When they sit on the chair, he goes to the kitchen and says.
"Coffee or Tea?"
Hearing his question, both Saber and Irisviel snap from their thoughts and say.
"Tea"
"Tea, please."
He then begins to make some tea, and while waiting for the water to boil, He decides to cook some breakfast as well. He looks at the current ingredient he has inside his pocket dimension, after looking at the ingredient he has, he decides to have a traditional Japanese Breakfast. He adds some salt and pepper to the salmon before quickly cooking it on the pan for a few minutes. He then begins to prepare the Miso Soup by boiling some dashi stock. He then chops some tofu into pieces and adds it inside the boiling stock. He changes the heat to low and let the tofu simmer inside the dashi stock for a few minutes. After waiting, he scoops out some soup stock from the pan and dissolves miso in it. He gradually returns the miso mixture in the soup and stirs the soup gently. He then stops the heat and adds chopped green onion.
After he finished cooking, he placed all the food on the table, including some tea that his machine brewed for him.
"Let's eat."
They then began to eat the food Kojiro cooked. He sees Saber eat and chuckle a little. She has the most elegant way of eating just like a noble. However, her speed eating the food is like a starving man, not eating for a week.
After eating some food, both Saber and Irisviel decide to go back to their base, so they say goodbye to him.
Seeing he has nothing to do, Kojiro opens a portal to the Clock Tower, and when he walks to the portal, he sees many people look at him and quickly go back to their task at hand. He doesn't know what happened, but everyone inside the Clock Tower avoids his gaze. He decided to ignore them and walk to the Zelretch room. When he knocks on the door, he hears Zelretch say.
"Come on in."
As he gets inside the room, he sees many jewels all around the room. Some of them are bigger than the other, while some of them are releasing a huge amount of mana.
"Ahhh, Kojiro. Just in time. Here"
He then picks up three bales of rice from the corner of the room. He looks at the bale of rice and realizes that it releases some kind of magic. It also has the same 'taste' as Yasaka magic, but instead of fire, the bale of rice has a 'taste' of water in it.
"What is it?"
"This is the Ball of Rice that Tawara Touta owned. This is the payment for the knowledge of how to create my personal pocket dimension."
"Wait, seriously?"
"What? Is it not enough? I have…"
"No, no no, This is more than enough. However, I can only give you the device that creates the Pocket Dimension. There is a bit of a problem with the knowledge, so I can't give it to you."
"Hmmm. Okay then"
"Really? You give me a REAL Noble Phantasm in exchange for some unknown device?"
"Meh"
He takes his palm to his face and sighs at Zelretch antics. He then takes out a ring from his pocket dimension. This is the 'older' product of his Pocket Dimension and only has a 10-meter cubic in size.
He already deconstructed the ring enchantment so it will register a new owner.
"Give a little bit of your blood to the ring."
Zelretch bit his finger until it bled and smeared his blood on the ring. The ring glows a little for a few seconds.
"Now, equip the ring. You can open the pocket dimension with a bit of magic. The ring will inform you how much space is left inside of it. The current maximum size is 10 meters cubic."
"This is… Fascinating"
Seeing Zelretch is inside his own world, He decides to pick up the bale of rice and drop it inside his pocket dimension. He then says goodbye to Zelretch, who is busy examining the ring. After hearing his word, Zelretch only nodded at him, still fascinated with the ring.
He walked to the lobby and looked at the people, still trying to avoid his gaze. He decides not to question them and opens the portal to his little shack.
When he arrives at his little shack, Kojiro begins to take all the devices that he used in this universe. After done packing, he opens the portal to the DxD world.
"Time to go home."
