Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

Page 10

As he spoke, Ma En pushed the Mapo Tofu that had just been served in front of Kirei Kotomine.

"Ah."

Kirei Kotomine nodded. Seeing his favorite food, his appetite was whetted, and his worries were temporarily suppressed. He buried his head and began to eat heartily.

But he was enjoying his meal and didn't see that Ma En's wicked smile was growing wider and wider.

Then, after he finished eating, Maren said quietly:

"Kiri, did you know? Scientific research has found that spiciness is actually a type of pain."

"what?"

Kirei Kotomine paused for a moment, then saw Maren point to the guests at the next table.

Kirei Kotomine looked over and saw that the guests at those tables were sweating profusely from the spiciness, but they were still eating spicy food.

Kirei Kotomine involuntarily recalled Marx and Engels' words.

Spiciness is actually a form of pain.

In other words, these people, while sweating profusely from the pain, are still voluntarily seeking out more pain.

"Hmph~ Hahahaha."

Kirei Kotomine laughed involuntarily once again, but this time there was no more entanglement or self-reproach on his face; he was laughing very happily.

Because he felt he hadn't done anything wrong this time.

These people voluntarily seek out pain and even enjoy it.

So, he is happy now because of other people's happiness!

Perfect logic!

"Senior brother! I understand! Thank you for your guidance today!"

Kirei Kotomine happily stood up and bowed deeply to Mar and Eng.

He now understood perfectly well that Marx and Engels had planned all of this in advance.

Whether it's seeing through his true nature or guiding him now.

All of this was thanks to the guidance of his senior brother, Marx and Engels.

"You probably have something to do now, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll head back now."

Ma En smiled, got up, and left.

Upon arriving outside the restaurant, Maren heard Kirei Kotomine's voice.

"Boss! I want to learn how to cook!"

Mar and Eng smiled contentedly.

Father Mapo!

born!

...End of flashback...

Looking at his respectful junior brother, Ma En felt very gratified.

Under his guidance, this guy didn't go astray, but instead became a chef as a side job, well, a Sichuan cuisine chef.

I heard that this guy was planning to go to Sichuan for further studies after the Holy Grail War ended.

Having a clear goal in life has made me much more cheerful.

Kotomine Risei even gave Maren a special thank you for this, and gave Maren a lot of magic knowledge from the church.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was a little unhappy, because Kirei Kotomine was a useless disciple. He had dealt with the learning of demonic arts in a perfunctory manner and had not paid any attention to studying cooking.

Chapter 14 Holy Grail War (×) Friendship Gathering (√)

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't say anything.

After all, that's just Kirei Kotomine's personality. He's helpless too. Is he just going to watch his disciple go down the wrong path?

Therefore, they simply assumed that they had mistakenly accepted the wrong disciple, hastily taught him some knowledge, and then released him. In any case, they didn't genuinely intend to accept Kirei Kotomine as their disciple; it was merely an intelligence operation to prepare for the Holy Grail War.

Well, this time the graduation gift isn't the Golden Core Sword, but a specially customized pot ladle. It's a magical costume that can be remotely controlled, allowing Kirei Kotomine to multitask and cook with two pots at the same time.

It's said that they wish Kirei Kotomine great success in her new career, blah blah blah.

It must be said that Tokiomi Tohsaka is a pretty good person, at least he treats his own people very well.

"Let's go."

Ma En nodded and followed Kirei Kotomine to the basement.

A summoning circle had already been drawn on the ground, and Tokiomi Tohsaka was standing to the side, quietly waiting for the two to arrive.

The Holy Grail War is about to begin, and the summoning can begin now.

Today is the day that Marx and Engels have agreed upon, the day they will summon the Servant.

Of course, it's also to set an example for his junior, Kirei Kotomine.

This guy is now completely focused on cooking. He's neglected not only the magical knowledge Tohsaka Tokiomi taught him, but also a lot of the baptismal rituals from the church. He needs to catch up on them for now, otherwise something unexpected might happen.

However, Mar and Eng also breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to relax a bit.

Yes.

In Marx's view, the Holy Grail War was just a form of entertainment.

A cross-time and space friendship conference.

This is Marne's impression of the Holy Grail War.

Let's not talk about the distant past, just this year's cohort.

The Conqueror King and his queen, Bluebeard and his best friend, Diarmuid and his monarch fiancée, Gilgamesh falling for Artoria, and the Knight of the Yangtze River descending only to see Artoria.

Good guy!

So, besides running around doing all the chores, Hassan was also playing the role of a minor character, showing off to others, and running around collecting intelligence all day long.

Everyone else is just here playing the blind date game!

That's it! You still dare to say this isn't a social gathering?!

Because of this impression, Marne was not nervous about the Holy Grail War; on the contrary, he was quite happy about it.

Because he can finally take a legitimate break for a while.

Although no one was forcing him to study, his own sense of responsibility prevented him from slacking off.

For the past year, I haven't done anything besides work; I've either been on my way to study or currently studying.

The frenzied momentum even frightened Tokiomi Tohsaka, who repeatedly advised him to relax.

But Marne also tried it, and he felt very uncomfortable as soon as he relaxed. He kept thinking about Tiamat and then he couldn't calm down and rest at all.

Only important matters can make him stop studying and steal a moment of leisure.

For example, at the two little girls' birthday party, Ma En spent the whole day playing with them.

Of course, there are also things that he finds interesting, which allow him to stop and relax a little.

For example, watching a live Errenzhuan performance, and guiding Kirei Kotomine.

Therefore, it was precisely by discovering this problem that we were able to make progress.

Marne was really looking forward to this Holy Grail War social gathering and planned to relax and have some fun.

'This is now a serious matter, after all, I promised Tokiomi I would help.'

Marx and Engels convinced themselves of this.

"You're here. Are you sure you don't need the artifacts? I've already prepared everything for you."

Tokiomi Tohsaka, holding a box, asked again.

This was something he had prepared six months ago; it was a relic specifically for summoning Servants for Marne.

I didn't tell Ma En because I wanted to surprise him, but Ma En refused after he found out yesterday.

“We already have three Servants. Their strength isn’t that important. What’s important is compatibility, because I might need to show up often. Obedient Servants are more suitable than powerful ones.”

That's what Marx and Engels said.

Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't think anything was wrong.

Indeed, they were already strong enough, and they did need someone to act as a figurehead to conceal their true strength, so they agreed.

This was their plan: Tokiomi Tohsaka would summon the strongest Servant as their trump card, one to act as the face of the party, and the other to provide support.

And the person in charge of the facade was naturally Marx and Engels.

There's no other reason than that he is Tokiomi Tohsaka's disciple and can impersonate the representative of the Tohsaka family.

Kirei Kotomine is not suitable for this role because if his public persona is that he has already parted ways with Tokiomi Tohsaka, it would be to avoid others suspecting Risei Kotomine.

There is suspicion that the referee colluded with the Tohsaka family, thus prematurely revealing their plans.

Therefore, Kirei Kotomine even had to keep his Master identity a secret, let alone act as a figurehead.

"Forget it, I might as well try my luck."

Ma En waved his hand and stood directly in the center of the summoning circle.

I guess I'm practically a widow of a saint now.

Although Tiamat cannot be summoned.

But as the stepfather of all the gods, it's not unreasonable to demote a god, right?

Thinking this, someone raised their hand with an expectant smile on their face.

Now it's my turn!
