When he got the Holy Relic named 'Fragment of the Round Table' from 'Bram Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri', he was quite happy, after all, no matter which Round Table Knight he summoned, his strength would at least be guaranteed.
As a 'mercenary', Kairi Shishigou knew better than anyone that 'stability' was always the most important thing on the battlefield.
But what he didn't expect was that of all the people he could summon, he summoned that 'Traitor of the Round Table, Mordred'. The other party was one of the most famous 'traitors' in history, but——————
"Master! I want to try that noodle!!"
"...Alright, boss, another serving of spaghetti."
Looking at Mordred, who was eating heartily, Kairi Shishigou even wondered if what he saw last night was an illusion? Was this foodie girl in front of him really the tomboy who put a sword to his neck last night after a disagreement?
'Forget it. At least it's good news that she doesn't cause trouble normally, but my wallet is suffering...'
Although he was a 'necromancer' and used the most imaginative necromancy magic in the magical world, Kairi Shishigou had his own principles. He never made a move on ordinary people casually, but fortunately, he himself had no interest in a luxurious life, so the money he earned was usually enough for his expenses, but unfortunately, he seemed to have to support one more person for a while.
'Why does a servant like to eat so much? Forget it. Anyway, if I win, I'll get a large sum of money. If I lose... more money won't matter anymore.'
Complaining was complaining, and helplessness was helplessness, but he had no intention of withholding Mordred's food. After all, if he had a conflict with his servant over this, he could be called a disgrace to masters.
Although strictly speaking, Mordred didn't eat that much, it still exceeded the standard for an ordinary girl, probably just a little more than an ordinary strong man, but looking at the way the other party was eating so deliciously, he also seemed a little hungry.
"Boss! Give me a serving of... mashed potatoes!"
After weighing his savings, he reluctantly ordered the cheapest food.
But what was unexpected to him was that the mashed potatoes here were quite delicious. Maybe it was because the potatoes were freshly picked from the ground?
And at this moment, he suddenly saw Mordred looking at him with a surprised expression...
'As expected of the legendary traitor, she's a foodie.'
"Saber, do you want to try..."
"Thank you! No need! Master, you eat it!"
Looking at the suddenly very polite Mordred, Kairi Shishigou's expression instantly became extremely subtle.
But Mordred's heart was filled with emotion.
'As expected of my master. He's so amazing. He's actually eating mashed potatoes!'
On the first night after the Holy Grail War began, almost everyone chose to get along well with their servants. Neither Yggdmillennia nor the Clock Tower rashly launched an attack on their opponents, but when the sky darkened again, the two behemoths that had been lying dormant finally started to move.
The Red Faction's Rider, Achilles, and Archer, Atalanta, two servants who were good at long-range combat and high-speed battles, were sent to the front line to gather information. As for Assassin, who should have been the best at gathering information, he had been staying in the church due to 'special reasons'.
Normally, the two sides would slowly make contact, compete for information advantage, and finally decide the winner with a decisive battle, but there was always a lack of 'accidents' in this world.
Before Rider and Archer engaged the enemy, something changed on the other side.
"Lancer, I'm counting on you to eliminate Ruler."
If the Black Faction had a strange class system because they belonged to one family, where Darnic and his servant temporarily became the leaders of all the servants, then the situation of the Red Faction was even more bizarre.
Except for Kairi Shishigou, who was a hired hand and didn't go to the church to gather, and later decided to wander around with Saber because of 'instinct', the other masters of the Clock Tower were 'missing'.
The reason for the quotation marks was that they still contacted their servants and gave them instructions through their Command Seals, but they were 'missing' because the other servants had never even seen their masters with their own eyes.
Although the servants were all confused, they temporarily put aside their doubts and followed the command of Assassin's master, Shirou Kotomine, as requested by their masters, considering the special nature of the 'Great Holy Grail War'.
And Karna, who had received the order at this time, silently nodded and left directly.
Normally, servants and masters participating in the Holy Grail War would not actively provoke Ruler, after all, the purpose of Ruler's existence was only to maintain the normal development of the Holy Grail War. They would neither fight for the Holy Grail nor assist any side.
But there was always a lack of 'accidents' in this world.
"Ruler has appeared? What a great opportunity! If we can win over Ruler, our chances of winning will increase by several layers!"
Everyone knew about Ruler's special nature, and of course, everyone also knew the difficulty of winning over the other party, but even if they couldn't win them over, there was no loss, right?
But who should they send to win them over?
First, Caster and Lancer were excluded. One needed to maintain the Golem Factory, and the other was the general. So who should be chosen from the remaining five?
Assassin? No. Although that man hasn't made any strange moves for now, who knows when he will do something? Even if the probability is small, he cannot be allowed to go out alone now.
Archer's situation was similar to the two from the beginning. As a class that was good at long-range combat, he could provide cover from the back.
Berserker couldn't communicate. PASS.
So only Rider and Saber were left to choose from, but Rider's master...
"Have Gordes take Saber to try and win over Ruler. If he can't, try not to have any friction with Ruler, and of course, if there's a chance, also cause some trouble for those guys from the Red Faction!"
Gordes himself didn't have a good appearance, and his personality was a bit arrogant, but his flaws didn't hide his virtues. It was no big deal to let him handle this kind of thing. He was, after all, once the leader of the Musik family.
"Yes!"
