Chapter 115

"Lin Ye, you're awake."

Irisviel looked at Lin Ye in front of her. Dinner had already been prepared. She had been wondering whether to call Lin Ye, but now it seemed that wouldn't be necessary.

"Good morning, Irisviel. Good morning, Jeanne, my King."

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Irisviel looked at the moon outside the window.

"This... is still 'good morning'?"

Irisviel was helpless, but she didn't say anything. After all, the Holy Grail War took place at night, so this time could be considered morning.

Lin Ye sat in his seat. Jeanne, on the side, looked at the King of Knights and then at Lin Ye, feeling that something was not quite right.

"Where is Ah Rong? Why hasn't she come?" Lin Ye asked, noticing someone was missing.

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Jeanne said, "Ah Rong said that Heroic Spirits don't need to eat, and wasting time on that is better spent painting another picture, so she is still in the studio."

"This... alright, that's a pity." Lin Ye knew that Heroic Spirits didn't need to eat, but eating wasn't just about filling one's stomach; it was about enjoying the food. So even though the King of Knights didn't need to eat anymore, she still ate when it was time.

Just as everyone picked up their cutlery to enjoy dinner, a voice rang out.

Rumble! Crackle!

"Hahahaha! Lin Ye! King of Knights! Guests have arrived, why not welcome us!"

Iskandar's voice arrived before he did. Hearing Iskandar's voice, Lin Ye sighed helplessly.

"It seems this meal won't be eaten in peace today."

Boom!

The moment Lin Ye's voice fell, Iskandar had already driven the Via Expugnatio into the hall. Lin Ye stood up and walked toward the hall, and behind him, the three women, Jeanne included, also stood up.

Seeing Lin Ye and the others appear, Iskandar laughed.

"Haha! Are there so many people? It's really lively here."

"Food tastes better when there are more people," Lin Ye said, looking at Iskandar. "So, why aren't you eating at home and instead ran over here?"

"Haha! Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to hold a banquet? Look!" Iskandar moved a barrel of wine down from the Via Expugnatio.

"See? I brought my own fine wine. How about that, enough sincerity, right?"

This Great Emperor, you're too familiar. I did say I wanted to prepare a banquet, but I don't think I said I invited you. I haven't even simulated you; we're really not that close.

"Fine, follow me." Lin Ye waved his hand helplessly and led the group toward the backyard. Since they were already here, he couldn't just drive them away, could he? That would make him look too petty.

Arriving at the Einzbern backyard, Iskandar, Lin Ye, the King of Knights, and Jeanne all took their seats, and at the same time, Diarmuid also arrived.

"Lin Ye, I've caused you trouble."

Diarmuid nodded at Lin Ye and then sat down.

At the same time, behind Lin Ye, a dark shadow emerged from the shadows. This figure was none other than the leader of the Hundred Faces. She looked at Lin Ye and suddenly knelt on one knee, saying, "Master."

"Hundred Faces, this is our first formal meeting, right?" Lin Ye smiled at her. Although the Hundred Faces had always had a low presence in Fate, Lin Ye still saw many shining points in her, which was why he was willing to help her back then.

"Alright, sit down."

"Yes, Master." The Hundred Faces sat obediently in a seat to the side.

"Gilgamesh! Do you have to be the last one to show up?" Lin Ye shouted at the sky. He didn't even need to think; with this guy's personality, he must have arrived long ago and insisted on waiting until the very last moment to appear, just to give off a sense of being a big shot.

Sure enough, as Lin Ye's voice fell, a hearty laugh rang out in the sky!

"Hahahahahaha! Lin Ye, you really do understand me!"

Swish.

In the sky, atop the Vimana, Gilgamesh stood against the wind! He looked at the group of Heroic Spirits below and then transformed into golden light, descending. "Welcome your King! Mongrels!"

Gilgamesh descended from the sky. He looked at everyone present, his eyes filled with arrogance... looking at Lin Ye who had stood up, he could say without hesitation:

Everyone sitting here is trash!

"Enough, turn off your taunt mode. You're late, one cup of wine as a penalty."

Lin Ye had Irisviel bring out a pile of wine cups and gave one to everyone.

Looking at the wine cup in his hand and smelling the scent of the inferior wine, Gilgamesh frowned.

"Forget it, this wine is clearly brought by that tasteless Rider. Better drink mine."

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers, and in the void, a golden wine pot and several golden cups appeared.

"I promised to treat you to the best wine in the world, and I did not break my word."

Hearing Gilgamesh's words, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile.

Gilgamesh actually remembered this?

"Alright, you guy, you said you wanted to hold a banquet, but you didn't even prepare a single dish!"

Gilgamesh said as he sat directly opposite Lin Ye. Hearing Gilgamesh's complaint, Lin Ye shrugged helplessly.

"It's clearly because you all came too fast; I didn't prepare anything, alright? How about this, I owe you this meal. If I can go to other worlds another day, I'll bring back some real delicacies for you."

"Other worlds? Parallel worlds?" Gilgamesh asked. As Heroic Spirits, they naturally knew that the Type-Moon world had many parallel worlds.

"Yeah, they're different. It's a bit troublesome to explain; let's wait until there's a real chance to show you later."

Lin Ye was naturally talking about worlds like Food Wars, Chuuka Ichiban!, Dagashi Kashi, and Restaurant to Another World; he just didn't know if he would have the chance to go.

On the side, Iskandar didn't care about delicacies. After taking a big gulp of the fine wine in his cup, he started to show his true intentions.

"Good wine! But... everyone here, the Holy Grail is different from a wine cup. Everyone here came for the Holy Grail, right? Now, it's time to discuss who the Holy Grail belongs to!"
