When they reached the edge of the forest where the castle was located, a road that wasn't wide but had obviously been tidied up appeared in front of Clovis.
"Could this be Rider's doing?”
Looking at the charred ground in front of him, as if it had been struck by lightning, Clovis felt that it was better not to delve into it.
At this moment, in the depths of the forest, in a castle that seemed to have walked out of a fairy tale, a grand cocktail party was in full swing.
There weren't many people attending this cocktail party. There were only five people, but it was enough to describe it as grand.
Because even after going through the history of this world several times, three of the most outstanding kings were present. It was precisely because of their existence that this banquet could be described as grand.
"That... Sorry, I'm not late, am I?”
When Clovis arrived at the outskirts of the castle, it was unknown whether it was because he knew his purpose or because the defense system of the castle was temporarily unable to be restarted. In short, Clovis did not encounter any obstacles and entered.
"You? Lancer's Master, why are you here?”The first person to be shocked by Clovis's appearance was none other than Altoria.
"I remember that you withdrew from the Holy Grail War because Lancer returned to being a hero, right? Why are you here again?" Similarly, Alisfel, who had learned from the Church that Clovis should have left Eastwood City, was also shocked.
"Well, actually, I'm here as Rider's Master. I came late because I had something to do. Anyway, take these two bottles of Great Yin Brew as my apology.”
Looking at the two people in the middle of the flower bed, Clovis took out a bottle of Gin Brew from his bag and handed it to Iskandar.
He looked around. Gilgamesh had not arrived yet, which meant that the event had just begun, so he was not too late. At the same time, it was fortunate that he did not arrive later than Gilgamesh. Otherwise, he really did not know how to explain himself.
"Alla, is this the best wine in this country? Unlike Altoria and Alisfel who were shocked, Iskandar took the Gin Brew from Clovis, unscrewed the bottle, and drank it.
"Ah, good wine!"
Iskandar, who had directly blown into the bottle, could not help but praise.
"Of course it's good wine. This is the highest quality sake that can be found in this city.”Unlike Iskandar's boldness, Clovis sat directly next to him and took out a few more wine glasses from his bag.
"Saber, please try the Great Gin Brew I brought. I don't know if it's to your taste.”After opening the remaining bottle of Gin Brew, Clovis slowly poured a cup and handed it to Altoria.
"Wait a minute, you said you came as Rider's Master. What's going on?”
When Altoria took the glass from Clovis, Alisfell finally reacted.
"It's nothing much. It's just that my teacher doesn't plan to continue participating in the Holy Grail War, so he called me back to temporarily replace him as Rider's Master.”
Clovis said nonchalantly, but although he was not present, he did not stop talking. He must be watching from some corner.
"I've booked a flight for Teacher, and I'll be leaving Dongmu City tomorrow to return to the Clock Tower, so I'll be Rider's partner.”said Clovis.
" Well, compared to that, let's continue the topic from before. Who exactly is the king who is truly suitable to possess the Holy Grail? Tonight, let's discuss it under the influence of alcohol!”Iskandar, who had already drunk half a bottle of Gin Brew, suddenly changed the topic.
"Stop talking nonsense, bastard!”Suddenly, a golden figure appeared outside the flower bed.
"Archer, why are you here?”
Seeing Gilgamesh suddenly appear, Altoria could not help but ask.
"Well, since it's a banquet between kings, I don't think it's appropriate not to invite this guy, so I invited him too.”Gilgamesh did not respond. On the contrary, Iskandar took him to answer Altoria's question.
"Speaking of which, aren't you a little too slow, Hero King?”Unlike in the original novel, Iskandar, who knew Gilgamesh's identity long ago because of his relationship with Clovis, said so.
"Well, unlike me, you walked here on two legs. It's no wonder you're a little late.”As if thinking of something, Iskandar took a wine glass from Clovis's bag.
"I didn't expect that you would choose such a lousy place to hold the King's Banquet. How dare you trouble me to specially move here?”Unlike the harmonious atmosphere just now, when Gilgamesh appeared, a " King's Aura " that was different from the other two Kings emanated. Alisfell, who was standing at the edge of the flower bed, could not even control her body from trembling.
"Well, don't be calculative. Come and try the wine that my new Master brought. It's delicious!”
Iskandar poured a full cup of Gin Brew into the wine glass and handed it to Gilgamesh.
"Your new Master? It's different from the previous one. Although it's still very young, I can sense an aura similar to yours from his body.”
He took the wine glass from Iskandar and looked at Clovis as if he was sizing him up, but he only took a sip of the wine in his hand.
"Humph! What's with this cheap stuff? Do you really intend to use this wine to entertain a king tier?”Although he did not throw away the Great Gin Brew in his hand, Gilgamesh's dissatisfaction was obvious.
"Well, unlike you kings from the past, the current me is indeed unable to produce wine that is worthy of your status, so I can only make do with something of this level.”
"Although this wine is not as good as the treasures you have drunk before, it is still the highest grade of wine that I, the future king, can buy.”
said Clovis, who ignored Gilgamesh's gaze, or rather, for some reason, was clearly afraid but unwilling to retreat.
