Chapter 645
"No way! How can a knight do such a freeloading act!" Saber hurriedly shook her head.
Just ahead was Cuisi's fast-food restaurant; as soon as the two entered, the owner immediately recognized Xing: "Eh? Isn't this our gathering's star? You're here to participate in that... Holy Grail War, right?"
"I'm not, I didn't!"
Aunt Cuisi put on an entirely "I understand" expression, quickly interjecting: "Haha, you don't want to expose your whereabouts, right? Don't worry, I understand, I'll definitely not betray you."
Saying that, she sized up Saber: "The person beside you must be the heroic spirit you summoned, right? May I ask, Miss Heroic Spirit, which famous figure from Pinokangni's history are you?"
"Sorry, in the Holy Grail War, the true name is crucial information; I cannot tell you."
Cuisi understood: "Okay, I get it, I get it, just like a recipe needs to be kept secret."
"Could you please tell me what this restaurant's signature dish is?"
"If this is your first time visiting Liumeng Reef, I strongly recommend you try our Heavenly Ring Wing Burger—you won't find a burger this delicious anywhere else." Cuisi was about to launch into a detailed description when Saber hurriedly interrupted, indicating she'd just order that.
"Alright, then give me 100!" Xing said bluntly.
"Okay… uh? 100? Are you sure?" Aunt Cuisi blinked in surprise.
"Certainly, this young lady beside me is in dire need of replenishing her energy."

"Ah… are you sure that guy is your father king?"
Shizi Jiejieli pointed at the blonde girl in the sky who was about to challenge the 100 Heavenly Ring Wing Burgers.
Naturally, his inner turmoil at this moment was comparable to an earthquake and tsunami.
(It's one thing that Arthur's son Mordred is a woman, but why is Arthur himself also a woman?)
"Ah, I won't mistake him." Mordred gritted her teeth and whispered low, "Father's appearance… no matter what, I won't mistake him."
Mordred, known for her rebellious nature, now felt a flicker of confusion. In her memory, Camelot's court was always shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, the silverware of the Round Table meetings forever polished to a shine, and her father always observed royal etiquette when dining. Yet the father king in the sky, compared to the image etched in her memory of him forever seated upon the throne—perfect yet unattainably distant—produced a subtle overlap and deviation—this was another side of the "father king" she had never seen before.
"100 Heavenly Ring Wing Burgers… uh, your father king… still has quite an appetite." Shizi Jiejieli pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, "So, the King of Knights' appetite has always been this astonishing?"
Mordred also froze, seemingly stumped by the question. She slightly furrowed her brows, pondered for a moment, then answered with some uncertainty: "This… such a thing, I've never paid attention to before, but without a doubt, she is absolutely the genuine father king."

Fate/At the Emiya Family's Table.
"Hiss, 100 Heavenly Ring Wing Burgers…"
Rin Tosaka sucked in a breath of cold air—usually the few of them only have a few dishes per meal, isn't this going to starve Saber?
"This… I… I didn't expect it either." Shirou scratched his head somewhat bewilderedly, "Saber… she actually can eat this much?"
In my impression, Saber really does have a bigger appetite than an ordinary girl, but she usually gets a lot of exercise, so she burns it off, and Shirou never gave it a second thought—but now it looks like that's not the case at all?
Illya also couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "It seems Saber has never shown her true appetite all along; indeed, raising a king is no easy matter no matter how you look at it."
Rin suddenly snapped back to attention: "No, have we gotten the point wrong? Who could possibly have a stomach that can hold 100 wing burgers!! Even Berserker couldn't do that, right?!"
——
100 wing burgers still take some time; while waiting for their meal, Xing and Saber found a spot to sit down, and Xing asked, "By the way, what wish would Saber like to make on the Holy Grail?"
Saber lowered her head, fell silent for a moment, then softly said, "If I am fortunate enough to win, I hope…"
"Let's talk a bit later, Master." Saber's eyes narrowed, she quickly became alert, turned her head toward the fast-food restaurant's door, and said, "I sense another Servant approaching."
Zhigengniao and Yin Fu also arrived at the place, ordering as they walked: "... Two orders of sky-ring wing burgers, two bottles of Sasa water. Yin Fu, is that okay?"
Yin Fu didn't answer her right away, instead walking straight to stand in front of Zhigengniao and shielding her behind her: "Of course… but this probably isn't a place where one can have a peaceful meal. Right before us, there's a Servant that appears in the blink of an eye."
As the two Servants locked eyes, the atmosphere instantly tensed; Saber immediately drew her weapon, ready for battle.
However, Saber quickly dropped her hostile stance—seeing Xing and the other party's Master actually walking together, she began chatting enthusiastically.
"So… are you the Master's friend?"
Zhigengniao approached Aunt Cui Si and said, "Shop owner lady, please put these two's meals on my tab as well. Also, please guarantee us a quiet dining environment, don't let other customers disturb us. I'll leave an extra tip, thank you."
Yin Fu kept a hard stare on Saber the whole time and warned, "Servant miss, rein in your killing intent. If you keep your hand on your sword at all times… I'll have to do something to protect Miss Zhigengniao."
Saber remained unmoving: "This is the Holy Grail War. Please forgive me, but I will stay on the defensive until I can be sure you harbor no ill will toward my Master."

Pirate King.
Miss Zhigengniao probably doesn't even realize those two ordered 100 wing burgers…… she's somehow ended up with a huge bill.
Yeah, but this blond woman can really eat—she doesn't look like she could hold 100 wing burgers at all; her appetite rivals Luffy's." Zoro crossed his arms, leaned against the ship's rail, raised an eyebrow, and said.
"How about we eat burgers tonight instead!" Luffy raised both his hands, gesturing to Sanji.
But at this moment, Sanji couldn't hear a thing—his eyes had turned into exaggerated love-hearts, his whole body seeming to float in a pink bubble, endlessly spinning around the lookout tower.
