[FATEFGO] Master's Note

Shen Muxiao leaned against the wall, walked lightly, and tiptoed close to the door of the practice room.

Gilgamesh looked at her strangely.

"I said, master..."

Listening to his words, Shenmu Xiao hurriedly put his index finger on his lips, and gave a "shush", signaling him to keep his voice down.

Gilgamesh curled his lips helplessly, feeling that her bluffing was meaningless.He lowered his voice: "Why is Master so timid?"

"I... I'm mentally preparing..."

She said, quickly wiping the sweat off her forehead.Although she really didn't want to admit this, Shen Muxiao felt that Amakusa's violent teaching did cast a shadow on her.

"If you don't like black keys, don't learn them." Gilgamesh wrote lightly.

"Do you think I look like someone who would give up at will?"

When she said this, Shen Muxiao's voice raised slightly, but she immediately lowered the volume.

"Although I was really abused by Teacher Amakusa, I don't want to surrender so easily... I will definitely encounter more terrible situations in the future. If I give up lightly every time, then why should I come to Chaldea? ?”

Seeing her firm face, Gilgamesh was obviously hard to persuade, so he fell silent and joined Shenmu Xiao's secret observation team.

Shen Muxiao moved slowly and cautiously to the door, carefully glanced inside, and then quickly looked away.

But her movements were too fast, and she didn't even see clearly what the room was like.

After taking a few deep breaths, and getting ready to explain to Amakusa after being caught, Akatsuki Shenmu once again turned his head to look at the situation inside.

Unexpectedly, there was no one in the room.

Although she felt very strange in her heart, Shen Muxiao still walked in.From yesterday's point of view, Amakusa is a very, even overly responsible person, and such things as being late should never happen to him.

"It's a bit strange." Shen Muxiao said warily, "Mr. Amakusa may suddenly jump out and attack you."

"Master, you are too nervous! Really, how did it become like this..." Gilgamesh crossed his arms and said like a little adult.

Shen Muxiao was too busy guarding his surroundings, and didn't pay attention to what he said.

A slight sound of footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and Shen Muxiao's nerves tensed up.The footsteps were getting closer, and her breathing became short of breath.

A tall black figure suddenly appeared at the door, Shen Muxiao panicked for a moment, but soon recovered.

She didn't recognize the man in front of her.

"I'm Kotomine Kirei, Amakusa Shiro's foster brother. It seems that I'm going to replace him for a while." He said.

Shen Muxiao was a little confused.It's not that Kirei's words were not clear enough, but that Kirei's appearance is too inconsistent with the identity he described...

Brother?Where is the reason why younger brothers are older than older brothers?

Maybe premature aging.she thinks.

But she quickly stopped her strange thoughts. It was someone else's family business, and she shouldn't bother thinking about it.

Gilgamesh was not as worried as she was, he asked Kirei directly: "Why didn't Shiro Amakusa come today?"

"I heard that he made the empress angry last night, and now he is thinking about how to make the empress happy."

The corner of Shenmu Xiao's mouth twitched uncontrollably.Since then, the image of Amakusa's "strict wife" will always be preserved in her mind.

Even though it was another person who taught the black keys, the fear in Shenmu Xiao's heart did not diminish. After all, in her opinion, Kirei and Amakusa were in the same lineage, so the rough teaching methods were naturally different.However, to her surprise, compared to Amakusa, Kirei was much softer.

Shenmuxiao's little fear of black key completely disappeared at this moment.She even wished, somewhat maliciously, that it would be best for Amakusa to annoy the Empress every day while she was in Chaldea.

But she also knew that such a thought was too evil, so she didn't dare to think about it any more.

"Then, that's all for today."

Kirei put away the black key, said goodbye to Shenmu Xiao, and left.

"Master, you were not beaten today." Gilgamesh said with relief.

Shen Muxiao pinched his cheek: "Why are your words so unwelcome? It sounds a bit malicious!"

Gilgamesh waved his hands again and again, and quickly denied it, saying that there was nothing wrong with what he said, Shenmu Xiao then let go.

"Well, I'm really glad I wasn't tortured today." She rubbed her chin, "Sure enough, older men are better at handling things?"

Kotomine Kirei and Amakusa Shiro sneezed at the same time.

"Why did you stop? Keep pinching until I'm relieved!" the empress yelled at Amakusa.

Amakusa trembled all over, and continued to pinch the empress' shoulders.

"Can I buy the villa I'm looking at?!"

"Buy, buy, buy! You can buy whatever you want!" Amakusa had a flattering smile on his face.

Actually want to buy another house, isn't it enough to have a sky garden?Amakusa secretly cursed.

Of course, he didn't dare to say that.

Shen Muxiao brought Gilgamesh to the library.

Hearing from Dr. Roman that the next restoration of the singularity seems to be scheduled for a week later, Shen Muxiao, who is a real and historical waste, hurriedly found a few history books and prepared to hold his feet temporarily.

Although she also knew that she might not be able to remember much content with her poor memory, but at least she had to create an illusion of hard work for herself!

She chose "General History of the World".The reason is simple, because this book is the most famous.Gilgamesh obviously had a more academic style, and picked out a stack of books on historical essays, which stunned Akatsuki Shenmu.

She saw that some of the books Gilgamesh had chosen dealt with the history of France.

"Haven't we already been to France? It is absolutely impossible to go to France next time. It is absolutely unnecessary to read about the history of France."

"Well... be prepared!"

Gilgamesh's eyes gleamed with determination.

Akira Shenmu would not bother to do such a completely useless thing, but she has no objection to Gilgamesh doing this-it is not a bad thing to expand the knowledge range of the heroic spirit.

She thought it was a rather whimsical thing to be teleported to the singularity thousands of years ago, so she began to read from the Middle Ages.She thought that with her high-spirited heart, it would be no problem to read most of the book before noon.

But she obviously overestimated herself.

History books are unavoidably boring, but within 10 minutes, Shen Muxiao's mind flew away, and the speed of turning the pages became slower and slower.When she regained consciousness, Gilgamesh had read the entire book and was staring at her.

Shen Muxiao was taken aback.

"How do you see it so fast?"

"I'm a heroic spirit, with one eye and ten lines." He said lightly.

Shen Muxiao gritted his teeth in jealousy.

Guessing that he could not concentrate at the moment, Shen Muxiao simply closed the book, propped his chin with his hand, and looked out the window.

The rare morning cleared up for a while, and now it has become cloudy again, and it is snowing.

For a moment, she lost her mind.

"You know, Jill? My sister is very afraid of snow. There were times when she would tremble and put her hands over her face whenever it snowed."

"why?"

"Because on the day my father was killed, the first snow fell in Yokohama that year, and my sister was the first to find the body."

The atmosphere fell silent.

"That's why." Shen Muxiao said suddenly, "My sister is definitely not suitable for Chaldea."

Gilgamesh looked at Shen Muxiao's pretended relaxed expression, hesitated for a long time, and said, "If possible... I want to know more about the master!"

Shen Muxiao smiled: "I will tell you next time. Let's go eat first! But I will not help you move the pile of books you borrowed."

Although she said so, seeing Gilgamesh holding a book that was half as tall as him, and almost unable to see the road in front of her, she relented and took the initiative to share half of it for him.

After putting away the books, when we came to the Chaldea restaurant, the meal was almost over, so there were not many people in the restaurant.

Shen Muxiao looked at the meals lined up in the glass counter. She, who had always had a choice phobia, was a little undecided, so she simply asked Gilgamesh for his opinion.

"I'll eat whatever the master eats!" Gilgamesh threw the question back without hesitation.

Shen Muxiao secretly scolded him as a little bastard in his heart, and fell into a bitter fight again.

After 10 minutes of indecision, she finally made a choice.

"Ma Po tofu set, how about it!"

"it is good!"

Finally freed from hesitation, Shenmu Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and sat down with Gilgamesh at a nearby round table.

After mixing the tofu and rice casually, Shenmu Xiao couldn't wait to eat it.

"Well, it's quite delicious." She admired.

"Really?" Kirei, who was wearing a white chef's uniform, appeared by the table like a ghost, really startling Shenmu Xiao.

"Yan... Teacher Yanfeng, why are you here? And what's going on with this outfit?!"

Kotomine, professional chef, amateur priest, Kirei showed a mysterious smile, straightened the chef's hat on his head a bit, and said with some complacency: "The chef and I have been good friends for many years. He is sick today. There is no way to come to work, so I will replace him. The mapo tofu in front of you is from my handwriting."

He lifted his chin proudly.

A priest who doesn't know black keys is not a good cook!

"So, what do you think?" Kirei asked enthusiastically.

"It's... very delicious... just a little bit spicy..."

"Oh! Really! Hahahaha!" Kirei laughed happily.

Kamiki Akatsuki, who was frightened by the cheerful Kirei, didn't notice Gilgamesh's stagnant movements and gradually flushing face sitting opposite him.

Gilgamesh would rather die than live at this moment.

For him, this mapo tofu is bitter.It seemed impolite to spit it out, so he swallowed it in one gulp, but the tingle from the pepper slid down his throat and into his stomach, burning his nerves.Every cell in the mouth was irritated with pain, tears flowed, and he even had some tinnitus.

He quickly glanced at everything on the table.

A bowl of hot soup, a white porcelain teapot, a stack of small plates, and a pack of paper towels.

If he took a sip of hot soup, he might go to heaven in no time.Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the white porcelain teapot.

At this moment, Shenmu Xiao finally noticed his abnormality.

She stood up, trying to stop him.

"Wait a minute, Jill! In there..."

The liquid in the teapot flowed into Gilgamesh's mouth, but it didn't bring him the refreshing coolness he imagined, but——

A sour smell!

He sprayed the vinegar all at once, and Shenmu Xiao's clothes were unfortunately damaged.

"...pretending to be vinegar..."

"Ah!" Gilgamesh exclaimed, and immediately took out a tissue to help her dry her clothes, "I'm sorry master, I'm so sorry!"

Shen Muxiao waved his hand, expressing that he didn't mind.

Kirei kindly asked the kitchen for a bowl of water, and handed it to Gilgamesh.

But even after rinsing his mouth several times, the sour taste still lingered between his lips and teeth. Gilgamesh grieved and complained to Shenmuxiao: "Why did you put vinegar in the teapot..."

"Probably because the person in charge of this restaurant is from Shanghai..."

The author has something to say:

Hostess: I will respect this flag first

Tax Evasion ♂ Mapo is online

The meme of eating mapo tofu and being so spicy has appeared in fateextra’s comics. I wrote this mainly to draw out the meme that Shanghainese put vinegar in teapots hhh

The teapot stem is reddish purple.One time, I saw someone in the space accidentally drink the vinegar in the pot as tea while eating breakfast in Shanghai. I felt depressed and wondered why Shanghainese put vinegar in the teapot.To be honest, I don’t know why vinegar is put in the teapot hhh I feel like this since I was a child, I think it’s a very natural thing
