Chapter 126 Master and Servant

When Chi Yao recovered from deep meditation, his body and mind had mostly recovered. When he opened his eyes, he saw Tamamonomae kneeling in front of him with a gentle smile.

"Master, are you awake? Dinner is ready~" Seeing Chi Yao awake, Tamamonomae spoke in her usual gentle tone.

"Well, thank you." Chi Yao nodded to express his gratitude.

"No need to thank me. This is what I should do as a Servant for my Master!" Tamamonomae stood up and brought in the prepared food.

To Chi Yao's surprise, Tamamonomae did not prepare regular Japanese cuisine, but rather Chinese-style dishes such as braised pork, mapo tofu, stir-fried chicken offal, etc.

Seeing Chi Yao's surprised expression, Tamamonomae showed a satisfied smile, "Master, this is a surprise I prepared for you! Come and try it!"

Chi Yao took the chopsticks next to the plate, picked up a portion of braised pork and put it in his mouth. It was soft and sticky, with a slightly sweet meaty taste. "It's delicious!"

As he spoke, Chi Yao gave Tamamonomae a thumbs-up gesture.

Chi Yao picked up the bowl of steamed white rice with each grain distinct and round and plump, which even had the fragrance of bamboo leaves. Chi Yao fed a spoonful of rice into his mouth. The combination of the two, combined with the remaining grease from the braised pork, was a perfect blend, making Chi Yao's hands unable to stop. He took a bite of meat and two mouthfuls of rice and soon finished the bowl of rice.

Tamamonomae looked at Chi Yao eating heartily with a happy expression, and handed Chi Yao another bowl of rice, saying, "Master, there's more. Eat slowly and try something else."

Chi Yao took the rice and said, "It's very well done. I give you full marks for your cooking skills. You can eat it too."

Chi Yao chewed his rice and added, "Well, this is a request from me as a Master."

Tamamonomae was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile, "Since it is the Master's request, then I will comply!"

Chi Yao scooped up a spoonful of Mapo Tofu and put it into his mouth. Fresh! Fragrant! Numb! Spicy! The four flavors gathered together, plus the smoothness of the tofu, and the mellow aroma of the minced meat and bone broth, made him unable to stop.

The two of them enjoyed the food together.

After dinner, Chi Yao praised: "Tamamonomae, I didn't expect you to be so good at Chinese food, what a great cooking skill!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Master, but I have a small request." Tamamonomae said.

"What request?" Chi Yao was a little confused.

"Master, can you call me Tama? It feels a bit strange to always use my full name~" Tamamonomae looked a little lonely.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaoyu." Chi Yao hesitated for a moment and agreed to Tamamonomae's request. After all, Tamamonomae did help him a lot, so he could just call her whatever she wanted.

"Yeah!" Tamamonomae smiled and nodded.

——Except

for the Tohsaka family who was disturbed by Chi Yao.

The remaining five groups of Masters and Servants have completed the summoning and contract agreements.

The one Kiritsugu Emiya summoned was Altria Pendragon of the Saber class, also known as King Arthur, but a female version.

The person summoned by Kotomine Kirei is Hassan Sabbah of the Assassin class, the nineteenth Old Man of the Mountain, whose ability is to clone himself.

Waver Velvet summoned Iskandar, who was a Rider, the famous King of Conquerors, Alexander the Great.

The magician of the Clock Tower, Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, summoned Elizabeth Whitetore of the Lancer class, a countess based on the vampire Camilla.

Matou Kariya summoned Beowulf, who was in the Berseker class, and his prototype was the protagonist of the English literary epic poem "Beowulf".

What Chi Yao didn't know was that, with his participation in the changes, the flapping of the wings of the little butterfly had already set off a storm, the plot had already changed dramatically, and even the summoning of the servants was affected accordingly.

——

Kotomine Risei and his son Kotomine Kirei had already arrived at the scene of the Tōsaka Manor.

Kotomine Ri was looking at the ruins, and sighed helplessly, "What a disaster! An outside magician attacked the Tohsaka family, and Tohsaka Tokiomi himself is missing."

Kotomine Kirei was squatting, looking at the deep pit on the ground made by Shadow Fang. He reached out his hand to touch the cracks in the ground and said, "No, it's not just the magician. This is pure physical strength, the powerful physical explosive force that caused this kind of mark. There are also traces of elemental magic around. It should be a battle between the two, and it is far beyond the ability of ordinary people to achieve."

Kotomine Risei's expression straightened up, and he asked tentatively, "Kirei, are you talking about the battle between Servants?"

Kotomine Kirei nodded, "My guess is this, Tōsaka Tokiomi was attacked by a Servant, and perhaps Tōsaka Tokiomi completed the Servant Summoning in time and allowed his own Servant to respond to the attack."

Kotomine Risho said, "Something is wrong. If it is the relic prepared by Tōsaka Tokiomi, it should be able to summon that Heroic Spirit. What rival can that Heroic Spirit have?"

Kotomine Kirei stood up and walked to the deep pit where the element exploded. He once again saw the traces left by Shadowfang's explosion at the bottom of the pit. "Not necessarily. This Holy Grail War has exceeded our expectations. It is possible that Tōsaka Tokiomi failed to summon the intended Heroic Spirit."

"And at that time, another Servant intervened in the battle. One was good at long-range spellcasting, and the other was good at close combat. I guess one was Caster, and the other was one of the top three riders." Kotomine Kirei added.

"After an impact of this magnitude occurred, the church has launched a media control campaign, citing a gas explosion as the reason," said Kotomine Risei.

Kotomine Kirei looked at the scene in front of him, feeling somewhat touched, but his expression remained expressionless as usual, "I'll let Assassin collect information as soon as possible."

-

Emiya Kiritsugu collected the true information about the "gas explosion" at Tousaka Manor through the channels of the Magic Association.

Looking at the traces of the manor on the information in his hand, Emiya Kiritsugu whispered, "The time was yesterday at noon. Was it a Servant attack?"

"It's a very foresighted attack, taking advantage of summoning servants first, trying to strangle the opponent in the cradle." Hisau Maiya added, she is Kiritsugu Emiya's assistant.

Altria frowned, quite disgusted by this behavior, "A sneak attack is not a knight's behavior."

Kiritsugu Emiya glanced at King Arthur and felt helpless about her character. The two of them were incompatible, but he did not try to correct them. Kiritsugu Emiya knew that he could not change King Arthur's beliefs.

Emiya Kiritsugu said: "The key now is to figure out who the two warring parties are. With this level of destruction, both parties must be Servants."

Hisau Maiya took out the photo of the deep pit. The conspicuous footprints were still at the bottom of the pit. "With such large-scale destructive power, it is preliminarily inferred that it is Caster. The other servant is most likely a melee type Servant."

"Well, what you said is consistent with my guess. And that Caster is very capable in combat and can release lightning attacks." Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the photo information in his hand, which showed the scorch marks left by Chi Yao's lightning strike.

-

Weber followed the emperor to improve his impression of each other, and soon became a tacit partner.

Kenneth looked at the summoned Spear Witch and began to doubt whether his holy relic was fake. How could he summon such a thing?

"Are you my Master? I am Elizabeth Whitetore, and I will assist you in obtaining the Holy Grail!" The Dragon Lady said with a smile, looking very unremarkable.

--

Matou Kariya looked at the calm Beowulf who walked out of the summoning circle, and was very puzzled, "Shouldn't you be a Berserker?"

"Hmm? Yes, I'm a Berseker, but due to my own reasons, my berserk level is not high." As he spoke, Beowulf looked at the dirty bugs around him with an unhappy expression.

"Are you the instigator? A bug trying to survive?" Beowulf looked at Zouken Matou with an unfriendly look and murderous intent.

Matou Zouken's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Take care of your Servant, Kariya!!"

"Oh? Master, what do you mean?" Beowulf looked at Matou Kariya, waiting for an answer.

Matou Kariya looked at the Command Seal in his hand and hesitated. Suddenly, he made up his mind. If he wanted to save Sakura, the old bug must be eliminated. "Kill him!"

"What! Do you know what you are doing?!" Matou Zouken's whole body was shaking, and countless insects were swimming under his skin, almost going berserk!

Beowulf took out two long swords connected by a chain, rushed directly in front of Matou Zouken, and smashed him with a gun!
