"King... There many way of Kingship... However one thing that sure, a King must never alone. A alone King is same like dead King. King must be Human, King must have feeling. King must lead his people, his ideal is what people idealism. Because if not, then how you going to control your people who adored another King?" ~ Naruto Uzumaki, Emperor of Elemental Nations
Chapter 7. Meeting of Fifth Holy Grail - Part II
Everyone cringed when see Lancer face turned to purple. No seriously a purple and it was glowing... His eyes bulged out to the point it only white, he make few attempt to speak in comical choking motion before
FLLLLAAAAAAAMEEEEE!
Lancer like dragon, spew out magnificent flame from his mouth to above him then he promptly fall from his chair and faint
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Oh my, he seems like it a lot..." Naruto commented with grin before turn to everyone "Anyone else want to try it?"
"""""HELL NO!""""" Everyone yelled comically to him
There no WAY they going to eat that abomination! Even Saber who love to eat think twice before eat it!
Naruto who seeing the response merely put disappointed face as if they just miss something very precious
"A pity..." Naruto lamented "That actually good despite it spicy taste..." He said
'Then why don't you try to eat it?!' Everyone thought dully but they only silent since it will not proper seeing they now in his fortress
Naruto turn and see Lancer still fainted, he have smoke come out from his mouth and nose with comical posture before hummed
"Perhaps another scoop will wake him up..." Naruto gestured to one maid and the maid immediately take one spoon and feed it to Lancer mouth
Everyone who seeing Lancer gulp the food cringed when they see Lancer eyes back to live, however it appear as if he choked. He move his hands to his throat, they can see he attempt to spew it out but seems suffer so much and can't do anything
The maid seeing this give slight punch to Lancer stomach and
FLLLAAAAAMMMMEEEE!
Lancer wake up while spewing another magnificent flame
"Are you okay Lancer-sama?" The maid asked
Lancer who awake glare to the maid with so much hatred
"You! What the hell are you doing?!" He yelled while waving his hand in frantic manner "Are you intent to kill me?!"
"Ah, he wake up..." Naruto said with relieve tone "Of course I do intent to kill you Lancer we are in Battle Royal..." He answered
"That's not what I mean!" Lancer shrieked "You didn't try to kill me this night aren't you?!"
"Of course I'm not.." Naruto replied "I'm civil to all of you tonight..."
Lancer open his mouth to retort but slowly close it. Protesting and yelling wond to anything, not to mention they in party now. He only grumbled under his breath about crazy emperor and damn blonde before sit back on his seat
Everyone seeing this resume their eating and most of them display good reaction
"Its good..." Shirou complimented. He actually good in cooking but now tasting international food is clearly different
"The meat is tastyyy!" Illya moaned in delight as she eat one meat
Everyone also showed similar expression as they find the food indeed good and tasty. Naruto only smiled at their response and nodded
"I suggest you try that one, it come from Britain... I order various food from Europe since seeing most of you is from Europe..." Naruto stated as he point to one of the food
Everyone give nod at that, true most of them come from western land. Saber immediately glanced to the food and take one, she curious how her... Country had grow after she dead...
Naruto stare at the scene with satisfied look, he have welcome his guest pretty good. He turn and look to his Master who eat elegantly
"Hime, how the food?" He asked softly
Manaka turn to Naruto with her usual angelic smile, she wipe some food on her mouth with handkerchief then speak
"It delicious, I really enjoy it..." She answered, her tone is soft and angelic like always
Naruto only nodded with gentle smile on his face. He actually know Manaka really happy, it was clear she very amused at the situation. When Naruto told her he going to make meeting between Heroic Spirit she can't help but fascinated
I mean, meeting between different Heroic Spirit from different place is clearly going to be fun! These Heroes have their own ideology and each of them viewing the World differently. Who didn't want to see such thing?! For modern person such thing will be something to see!
Beside, Manaka maybe can find out more about Naruto and its proven true as she now know more about Naruto. The older blonde always secretive about his past. Manaka actually can use Command Spell but where the fun is that? It will be better if she find out Naruto identity by herself
She also interested on Saber... Manaka can tell everyone here also curious to who is the Servant of Sword. Naruto noted she are King but a King who is woman? That was quite surprising. Manaka noted that Saber actually is from western land, the question is which King is like that?
'Could it be...' Manaka began to ponder as she stare at Saber who oblivious and keep eating
Naruto turn his attention back to his guest after asking his Master. His eyes fall to someone and it surprise him 'Wow, her eating speed rivaled Chouji...' Naruto thought as he stare at Saber who keep eating. No, she didn't eat like wild beast instead well mannered like royalty
But the speed indeed does like a beast...
Whoever. Saber is in history she must be quite glutton
"Well now..." Naruto paused as he also wipe some food on his mouth using handkerchief "Gentleman, you can start your question. Why don't we start from Shirou-kun? The only male that Master in here..." He offered
Shirou who hearing that wipe some food on his mouth properly before gulped. He actually didn't know to ask, he not too interested in battle related thing, while sure he going to attack when they fight but still... He inexperienced after all
Beside Saver seems nice guy and his Master... Shirou glanced at Manaka who staring at him with beautiful smile, she wave her hand to him when she notice he look at her
His Master is too kind... Shirou can see it! She even have more innocent face than Illya! There no way she will harm them! Killing Servants maybe but harm them? Nah!
Oh if only you knew the truth Shirou
"Saver... If people is killed in front of you, what will you do?" Shirou asked
Rin and Saber who hearing this inwardly sighed at the question, they not surprise somehow. Archer meanwhile groaned in annoyance in his mind while the other Servants blinked at Shirou question since they didn't know Shirou too well
Naruto who hearing that put taken back look for moment before he answer it "That quite question Shirou, for your answer it depend. If I have my own urgent business that time then I won't help them. But if I have nothing to do then I will help them..."
"Why?! Why you won't help them?!" Shirou demanded, his voice still calm but there strong tone in there
Naruto stare at Shirou with neutral look. This boy remind him of himself so much... The way he got himself in trouble due to Murphy Law and the low self worth that he display...
"Tell me Shirou-kun... Does all human life is equal?" He asked softly
"Of course it is!" Shirou immediately answered with stern conviction make everyone look to him with surprise look
"I see... Then if I give you choice to kill Sakura Matou or children. Which one you chose?" Naruto continue asked make Rider stiffened but no one notice except Manaka while Rin also display strange look for moment before it gone
"Don't bring Sakura in here! She not-"
"Which one you will chose?" Naruto pressed with sterner tone
Shirou found himself so hard to speak. On other hand Sakura is his friend, best friend, Sister in all but blood. The pure innocent girl who always smile and helping him... On other hand is children... A group of children that know nothing...
Seeing the conflict on Shirou face, Naruto speak again
"Well, if I were you I will kill all those children for Sakura Matou..." Naruto answered nonchalantly while sip his sake again
"W-Wha? B-Bu-"
"Are you telling me you going to kill someone who like sister to you and possibly more for someone that you not even know?" Naruto asked with disapproving tone
"NO! But those are children!" Shirou rejected "How could you kill them off like that?!"
"Children... Children... Let me tell you story Shirou-kun... There a doctor... He was great doctor that able to heal almost any wound..." Naruto said "I will skip to the point. One day, the mayor in his town is sick hard and only that doctor that able to heal him. The mayor also appear to be close to the doctor, they are friend... However his situation is not supporting, right that time he currently in middle of surgery some child that wounded and if the child leaved he will die..."
"The doctor start to having conflict on other hand, this is mayor we talking about but on another hand this is a child... But he forget the mayor status and heal the child, why? Because for him all life is equal... The mayor is his friend so the doctor assume the mayor will understand his decision in afterlife... And thanks to that he got himself fired since th mayor dead. Follow me until here?"
"The doctor make right decision, he can't just stop the surgery and help another person..." Shirou said with nod
"Good, now we continue. That doctor life went to hell thanks for that event, he was famous but since because of that his life turned 180. 12 years later there massacre in numerous place, the serial killer is very smart and genius even. The people that killed also few of the doctor higher where he was working and even his friends also murdered... The doctor actually scared when hearing this, thinking he will be targeted and true. One day he got targeted but before he get killed the assassin killed by another assassin..."
"The one that save that doctor is the boy right?" Shirou concluded and Naruto nod, Shirou face brightened at that "See? The doctor got himself saved by the child! The boy payed his debt!" He said
Naruto only smiled at that. Everyone who hearing since the beginning not comment but stare at Naruto with curious, Illya hearing it like children hearing bed story
"Let's continue shall we. True it was that child who save the doctor being murdered but what not you know is, that assassin is that child subordinate that went insane and kill anyone at the sight..."
At hearing that Shirou whole body freeze, everyone who hearing that put quite surprise look on their own. Even Manaka also show confused face
"W-What? H-How?! How that child become murderer?!" Shirou asked in shock and Naruto face morphed to neutral, he sip his sake again before continue
"The doctor also show same shock, the child. Let call him Ac. The doctor ask Ac why he become murderer? But Ac answer shocking him. "It because doctor want them dead..."." He paused and see everyone confused look "You see, after that doctor got fired he began cursed and consumed by anger. He told Ac unconscious body after surgery that the people who were responsible for doing this to him would be better off dead... And unknown to the doctor, Ac already wake up that time he hear the doctor wish. To repay the doctor kindness Ac began to become serial killer and granted the doctor wish..."
...
Silence... No one let out voice after the story done... Shirou face is pure shock and disbelief, Rin also have troubled face and Illya have horrified look. All Servants who hearing Naruto story seems not bothered but each of them aware that they have their own grim thought inside their mind
"You see Shirou-kun... It because that doctor save that child... If that doctor leave him to die then there won't be any massacre, the doctor life will be happy too..." Naruto put down his sake cup calmly before pour another one inside it "But because the mayor who is his friend died, the city got quite problem that time. The mayor actually man who good in leading his city but due to his died the city in chaos for moment... And because he saving that child too, all his former friends and higher dead... Killed..." He stare at Shirou eyes, his saphire blue seems so cold as it pierce Shirou gold eyes who flinched at that gaze "Tell me then Shirou Emiya... Does that child life equal to that mayor? Does the children life equal to Sakura Matou who is sister to you?" He asked coldly, the suffix is gone and show how serious is his question
Shirou response only grit his teeth, his face is somber before he slowly lower his head. Refusing to meet Naruto gaze, he know the answer... But the answer clearly going to break off with his ideology as Superhero! But he can't lose Sakura! She is important to him! She... ... ...
'This man... He wise... Very good in words too... The story he give to the Boy is very accurate and to the point, there no any wasting words... It also bring all the hole in this boy ideal, forcing him to chose will he abandon his ideal or not...' Archer thought with awe as he find the plot is clearly perfect
'Handsome, wise, strong, kind, smart... Whatever Kingdom he lead it must be very peaceful one...' Rider thought with high respect
"Not all life is equal Shirou-kun... Even if it children... No matter who is it, your precious people will always come first... Why? Because without them, you same as dead... Dead people who after nothing but emptiness..." Naruto said in soft tone. He fell silence for almost a minute to let Shirou calm down, in that minute he study all people in the room reaction
Rin and Illya seems taking this story very well and Naruto can tell it leave seed inside their mind. All Servants look to him with respect and understanding look, especially Archer. Naruto notice there gratitude inside that gray eyes
"Do you have another question, Shirou-kun?" Naruto asked "Or will you skip it for later? You can ask me even after tonight if you want..." He said as he knew right now Shirou is having big conflict in his mind
"I... I will skip it later..." Shirou answered and Naruto nodded
"Don't think it too deep for now. We in middle of feast after all so enjoy the food for moment and the talk..." He comforted before turn to Lancer "Lancer, why don't you start? You have eat the Curry of Life so you deserve the second one..." He told him
Most of the guest snickered at that while Rider only have her lip twitched upward and Saber cover her mouth to hold giggle
The spearmen merely have his eye twitched. If he not respect Saver so much he will launch Gáe Bolg to him now, politeness be damned!
"Well... Who your strongest opponent in your life Saver?" Lancer asked. He not interested on what Saver did to this War, he only wish good fight and he will got it as long he fight Saver
Naruto who hearing that not surprise by Lancer question at all. He are warrior and he must be wish to know who Naruto strongest enemy since he is very strong
"A Goddess..." Naruto answered make everyone perked up with shock face at him even Manaka "A very strong Goddess... I did not win against her alone, she will murder me if I alone like an insect... I have friend who help me, it was the most hardest battle I ever had... One wrong move and I will reduced to nothingness..."
"Excuse me Saver, but are you telling me you fighting a Goddess?" Caster asked with narrowed eyes "When you speak about your childhood and this weapon I'm not surprise and even can tell your genuine since in Age of Gods such thing is common though the Demon you mentioned should be written in history. But you fighting a Goddess? No one ever fight a Deity openly... Except..." Caster eyes sharpened "Are you fallen God?"
All Servants hold their breath at that especially Rider. The Fallen God is not like another God, they are Deity but they are mortal. Some of them born mortal like Medusa, but some of them chose to become one. Tamame-no-Mae is the example for that, she are originally Goddess but since she wish to study Human and live with them, she degraded herself
Manaka who hearing that also perked up. It could be like that, Naruto himself said he were stronger when he alive. Now if she connect it, it could be true. Naruto could be one of Deity that fallen
"Well... I do get called by title of 'God' sometime due to my strength by some group... But nope, I'm not. I assure you I, 100% Human. No any blood of Gods flow in my cell..." Naruto answered with chuckle and what he said is true
Naruto and Sasuke often mistaken as God, both of their powers is something that can't be measure anymore during their era, both of them already surpass Hagoromo himself or at least on par with the Sage of Six Path himself
The battle between Naruto and Sasuke can destroy the whole planet with ease, and because of that both of them create artificial planet from power of Rinnegan and Rikudō Senjutsu. That place is where they usually spar and fight
And because of that, people hail them as Gods. Both their powers already transcended beyond any Shinobi... And thanks to that, Naruto decide to join the Elemental Nations into one. It because Konoha too strong and powerful, people become paranoid they will attack them so Naruto offer their leaders to become one Kingdom where they got protected by him
Naruto see most of them stare with confused and even disbelief. He only flash them smile at that "On my honor and pride as Emperor, all I answer is honest one and I'm not exaggerate about it. You trust it or not is your own decision. Now next question Lancer?" Naruto offered
Lancer who hearing Naruto answer began to ponder what will be his next question. He actually quite bothered when hear Naruto strongest opponent is Goddess, he actually also not believe in that but Naruto swear on his tittle it mean it was true. He have no doubt Naruto not lie to them...
'Hero that hide in Leaf Village... I still can't find about his identity... In Throne of Heroes, there many Heroes who come from forest. Could it be he is Fae? But which one? Arghh! This is so damn troublesome! I will find it out later, this is party. Not a place to think for battle!'."Well... How many wives you have?" Lancer asked bluntly
All the man choked on their food when hearing that while Rin and Illya blushed. Saber, Rider and Caster shot Lancer dirty look
Manaka only blinked once...
Naruto laughed at that question. Lancer really fun to talk with, among the people here he the only one who relax most and Naruto like that. This party not mean anything but relaxation before big battle
"Ah... I only have one wife Lancer..." Naruto answered "But I do have concubine with me..." Naruto smile sheepishly when notice there glare from few womans "On my defense, it was my wife who command me to do that.." He said in defensive manner
"Your wife?!" Rin squeaked "What kind of wife that support his man to be shared?!" She asked hotly while everyone also curious at that, save for Lancer who whistling approvingly
"I actually said the same thing to her..." Naruto stated dully "But... Well... It necessary to propose an alliance between our people... I, of course can use violence to do that but I'm not that kind of person. So we negotiated and... Well that's the result..."
"What kind of result is that? It was different if you not married person but you are married..." Saber asked with scowl
Naruto who hearing that put troubled face and laugh sheepishly "Ah... Well... Apparently I make fatal mistake... You see, few years before I become Emperor I actually save that country from it destruction. Then after that, the Priestess of the country said she need my help to make heir for her..."
Everyone who hearing that blinked before they put disbelief face save for Shirou who not understand
"Don't tell me you agree just like that?" Archer asked dully
Naruto grimaced at the question. He remember make that promise with Shion and when they negotiate the Priestess clarify what she mean that time much to Naruto horror as he already married with Hinata but to his shock Hinata support the idea, it because well... After few years let just say Hinata want to try something new in their bed...
"What? What Saver mean? He only need to help the Priestess to make heir right? How hard it is?" Shirou asked innocently and everyone turn to him with dull look
"Kid, you know where children come from right?" Lancer deadpanned
"Of course I know!" Shirou blushed a bit "I already study biology and..." Shirou eyes widened in shock as realization come to him. Saver promise her a heir... That mean... With shocked face he turn to Saver as he finally put two and two together
"I was thinking same like you that time Shirou-kun... So... Yeah, I promise her to help her make one... And she point that during our meeting..." Naruto said with sheepish smile while rub his back neck "The result, I have 3 concubine and 1 wife, though I only love my wife but I do also care to the three others. It hard to handle multiple woman but I manage to do that finally..." Naruto finished his explanation
Everyone who hearing that only stare dully at Naruto response
"On my defense, I'm not wise and cool like this since I'm born..." Naruto deadpanned at their expression "I doubt all of you is same person like you were now when you were child..." He shot back
This time, it was everyone who have sheepish look on their faces
"Anyway, from Lancer. We move to Archer, do you have question for me Archer?" Naruto asked
Archer stare at Naruto with stoic look. Naruto can tell Archer is very wary to him, among everyone here Naruto know Archer is the one that hold Naruto in very high alert He are warrior from future, and by his expression Naruto sure the future he had didn't have the blonde ninja in there
Naruto don't know what Archer plan, from all Heroic Spirits here only Archer that have difference energy force. His energy is not like Heroic Spirit but rather something that bounded to Humanity energy force. Just like Saber but Saber aura less than him..
'Now... What you going to ask me? Emiya Shirou...' Naruto knew Archer inwardly really want to ask Naruto real identity. Heck Naruto sure Archer going to ask 'Are you from different World?'
But Archer won't do that... Because if he did ask him, he will get questioned back by Naruto... Not to mention ask something like that out of blue will make all Servants and Masters here suspicious on him
Naruto don't know why but Archer seems hate Shirou Emiya... It proved from why he didn't tell his Master that he are Shirou... And he also not make attempt to help his past self... Instead he antagonize him...
"I... Also request private meeting, will you grant it?" Archer speak after moment of silence much to everyone surprise especially Rin
"Archer?" Rin confused. What her Servant wish to talk with Saver alone? Suddenly Archer voice echoed in her mind
'Rin, when I have meeting with him I want you to not listen or hear whatever we talk about. My memory still hazy but I feel something from Saver...' Archer requested
'E-Eh? Wait! What you intent with him? This is not normal Servant you wish to talk to! What you want to talk about to him anyway?!' If it normal Servant Rin won't be have problem. But Saver is anything but normal! She can't just let him go and talk with Saver! Archer is actually very secretive and she allow it this far due to respect but this is something else!
'Don't worry Rin, you have my word that I won't do anything to betray you. I just want to confirm something about this man... Please grant this as a privacy Rin, I will tell you if it proved to be too dangerous or something we can use against him...'
Rin inwardly blinked in surprise. Archer never speak like this before, what make him so interested on Saver? Well...
'F-Fine! if you wish to have your secret then I won't pry... But be careful okay?' Rin asked with sigh in her mind
'Of course!' Archer answered with promised tone
Naruto meanwhile oblivious to what both of their conversation merely furrowed his eyebrow. This make 2 persons already who want to talk privately with him, granted he didn't know actually what Rider wish to talk but Archer... It must be related to Naruto own status
"Very well... We will have talk, after I talk with Rider of course..." Naruto granted the request
"Well, thank you then Your Majesty..." Archer said with smirk and Naruto merely nodded in reply
"Now the last man... Sasaki Kojirou. What you want to ask to me? Samurai..." Naruto called as everyone turn to Assassin
Assassin merely hummed. He honestly didn't have any question, since he only fake Heroic Spirit and wraith actually. All he wish is only fight strong warrior like Lancer...
"I honestly don't have question Your Majesty..." Assassin confessed make everyone cast him confusion eye while Caster only sighed inwardly "You can skip my question and continue the event..." He said
Naruto only stare at Assassin with neutral face. Well if he didn't have question then what right he to force him? He give nod to Assassin before turned to everyone
"If you say so then let's enter the main purpose of this meeting!" Naruto declared, gaining everyone attention at that
"Main purpose of this meeting?" Caster asked and Naruto nodded
"The Holy Grail... Is omnipotent wish... That was what we been told right? Though I doubt that but still..." Naruto stared at all people in the room "The Grail is mean for the one who worthy the most, wouldn't you all agree? I'm sure all of you in here none have wish to destruction of the World..."
Everyone nod at Naruto statement. They all here have their own wish, though Lancer and Assassin did not have except fight but they won't let some omnipotent wish granted device fall to someone who want to destroy this World, they still Heroic Spirit after all save for Assassin, Caster and Rider though
How irony seeing the device already will cause destruction for all wish, thanks to Einzbern family for that
"That's why, if all people in here try to acknowledged each other wish there won't need any unnecessary bloodshed and humiliation..." Naruto continued
'He remind me of Iskandar...' Saber thought. The King of Conqueror also had says something similar in Fourth War
"Quite pacifist aren't you?" Archer commented
"You can say so, I don't like unnecessary bloodshed. Though I will kill without problem if I have to but what can I say? I'm Chaotic Good after all..." He chuckle slightly before stare with stern look "I'm good but doesn't mean I can't do any evil, all evil thing mostly appear because good intent after all..." Naruto continued with sagely tone and everyone nod at his statement, his story before about the serial killer is example for that "So that's why, I wish to know each of your wish..."
Everyone who hearing that glance to each other with neutral faces, eventually it was Lancer who speak first
"Well... I don't have any wish actually... I just want to have good fight... But if I win the Grail I maybe going to ask to resurrect someone..." Lancer told them as he recall Bazett condition. The girl is too kind, to think she summon him just for wish to fix his life. He actually not need that but still to think there someone who wish that mach for him... The least thing he could do is revive her back...
"Oh, resurrecting someone? Though that is selfish wish but it was fine... Selfish is one of Human nature after all... I acknowledge it... To bring someone special for you back also good wish..." Naruto commented with nod
Caster, Assassin and Rider didn't comment but they agree as well inwardly. Archer only stare at Lancer with narrowed eyes, he didn't know about Lancer problem since he not too care about him in last war. Other than his Master is actually Kirei but...
The Masters didn't show any surprise reaction or bothered by it, except Rin
"But how about your Master?" Rin asked skeptically
Lancer stiffened at that... Due to Command Spell he can't tell anyone who his Master but Lancer have no doubt that his Master have something bad wish...
'Well... When the time come I will deal with him...' Lancer promised "Don't worry, he not bad person. Always talking about Root or something like that..." Lancer lied with chuckle
'Liar...' Naruto, Manaka and Archer thought at same time
"I see..." Rin actually skeptical but reaching the Root is most Magus ultimate dream... So she will accept it for now...
"I also same like Lancer..." Assassin added "I don't have any wish except good fight, but the difference if I win the Grail I won't make any wish..." He said with smile
Now that get everyone attention as they stare at Assassin
"You truly didn't have any wish?" Saber asked in genuine surprise
Assassin smile bitterly at that "If you want to know, I actually not a proper Heroic Spirt. You see, Kojirou Sasaki is actually existence that even doubted to be exist. I, only existence that closer to the wraiths rather than Heroic Spirit. Even I'm not real Kojirou Sasaki, I only summoned as that Men because..." He paused with thoughtful face before make soft 'aha' face "Let put it this way, if there was to be a database for all of humanity, my data is the best matches for real Sasaki Kojirou... That's why I summoned as him..." He explain bitterly
Everyone who hearing that taken back by the explanation save for Caster. That was clearly something, this Holy Grail War already strange enough to summon Saver but now Assassin existence just add another thing
But still few of them inwardly can't feel pity. Lancer also frowned hearing this, Assassin is cool guy. He strong and good too, if only there someone like him in his era
Apparently Naruto also think same line
"Really? Now that very interesting. You only trades blades with my clone but I have see your skill and I must say Assassin, you are one of the best one..." Naruto said with praising tone "No offense Saber since I never clash blades against you and Archer..." He added
"None taken..." Saber said, hearing what Saver said now also make she curious. If Saver respect Assassin skill then, this man is good
"Ahh, if only I have you as my private samurai during my life..." Naruto sighed "My warrior will be more skilled and stronger under your tutelage... Damn why that teme is so bastard and don't want to teach his sword trick..." He grumbled as he recall Sasuke to teach his sword style, only to be shut down stated it family secret. Bastard duckass!
Assassin who hearing that actually flabbergasted. To be praised by Saver, Saver of all people. An Emperor, General, Warrior... A Heroic Spirit... He never thought his skill will be regarded that high to be praised by someone like Saver position and what more the Emperor actually wish for him to become his private samurai!
A very great honor and... It was not an unpleasant feeling...
"I'm honored by your words Kōtei-dono..." Assassin replied with gentle smile and Saver only nodded in response
Caster who hearing that put thoughtful face... Maybe she can use this as advantage seeing Saver hold Assassin in high regard... Yes, when they battle she can use it as advantage and use Command Spell silently
"I give praise to someone who deserve to have it..." Naruto simple respond "Well? We heard two man already how about the woman this time?" He offered
"May I speak, my Emperor?" Manaka asked suddenly "It was proper manner as the one that invite to tell them ours first..." She explained
"Of course, Manaka-chan!" Naruto let his Master speak as he made gesture for her
"My wish..." Manaka now gaining everyone attention "I actually have two, and I still not sure. But I will tell you the first since it the original... I wish to see Root..." She said make everyone blinked
"See Root?" Rin asked with confused face
"All Magus in this World actually fight to reach the Root. To reach it knowledge... But I do not... I'm not even interested slightly about those knowledge... But what I interest is to see how it work, to see what it form, to see how it contain all those knowledge, to see how it react when we reach it..." Manaka explained with her smiley face as she have strange gleam on her eyes that got caught by Archer
'This girl... She actually remind me of Kirei...' Archer thought before he blinked and inwardly groaned 'So I have another version of Gilgamesh and Kirei... Great, just great... This War start to getting worse...'
"B-But why?! Why you didn't want all those knowledge? Surely as Magus you-"
"A Magus path is different from each other, wouldn't you think so? Tohsaka Rin..." Manaka cut the raven haired girl "I have my own path, if you can't accept that then we will speak through our Magecraft later in battle..." She finished still with smile plastered on her face
Rin held back growl at the remark but give glare to the shorter girls. She can't accept it! The way Manaka put that remark, even if she also wish to reach Akasha but her reason is plain stupid! It was insult to all Magus! All Magus want to have that knowledge but she only wish to see it then done!
"I do have quite strange Master aren't I?" Naruto said with chuckle before turn to the Masters "The rest of you, it actually not necessary to speak what your wish if you didn't want to... But Servants is another case, wouldn't you all agree?" He asked to all Servants who only silence "Then what about you Archer? What your wish?"
Archer stare at Naruto, his wish? Is to free from this damn hell! But of course he knew, there no way the Grail can grant it. It was corrupted after all, at first he quite skeptical because Saver presence maybe he summoned into the Grail that not corrupt. But it shatter when he sense Angra Mainyu aura from Sakura and Rider who in fact is Medusa got summoned
"I don't have any wish... Not yet... We will see it later..." Archer answered with crossed arm
"Well, as long it not about World domination and destruction of the planet I think it was fine..." Naruto joked before he sighed "All the Man in here mostly didn't have wish, see? We are good kin actually! It just you, woman who too sensitive" He chided in joking tone again to all woman in here who have their eye twitch at the remark or roll their eyes while Lancer snorted in amusement and Shirou chuckle at that "Alright, all joke aside. Now let hear the lady wish, Rider if you wish?" He offered
Rider only silence as usual. There nothing that indicate she will answer but everyone know she actually in deep thought
"Wish... I don't have wish but if granted, I want to see my sisters again..." Rider said softly 'And save Sakura...' She left unspoken
"See your sisters... That was quite wish..." Naruto commented with narrowed eyes
"To see your sisters? What you mean by that?" Saber asked
"... ... Because I kill my own sister..." Rider stated bluntly make everyone freeze "And that is something I wish to atone for by meeting them once again..." She finished
There no any emotion in her voice. But Naruto can detect the desperation in her tone...
"We all make mistake sometime..." Naruto said, gaining everyone attention "But the end result depend on us, will we choice to make redemption of our act? Or chose to sink more..."
"Sometime there time you got no choice... Surely you know that..." Caster commented Naruto statement
"Indeed... There time the World won't give you choice, it run just like that..." Saber added with begrudging tone
Every Servants who hearing that also put bitter face. It was true and each of them had experience that in their own life
"Really?" Naruto asked to the Heroes with furrowed eyebrow "And who the one that told you that? Everyone always have a choice, doesn't matter what your condition in. There will always be a choice..."
"What choice you have if Gods itself manipulate you?" Caster asked with snort make everyone look at her in shock except Naruto who calm but there grim gleam on his eyes
'Did she also victim of Gods?' Rider thought curiously
"You do have choice after they done playing you like doll..." Naruto responded calmly make Caster eyes widen a bit "The choice is, are you going to let you sink into what those... Imbecile turn you into. Or are you going to fight and turn into something opposed of those imbecile to show them that you not a puppet?" He asked with steel tone "Listen all of you.." Naruto bellowed as he stare at everyone
"Fate is a bullshit... Fate never decide your life, but it your own hands that reforge your own life! Me? I'm a failure! I'm a worm! I'm a cursed child! But I did not let those thing affect me! Look at me now! The child that cursed by Demon, I should be fated to die! It was another case if I'm an adult since I maybe can survive, but I was baby that time! And I'm a child! But I forge my own path! I forge through sweat and hard work! And I become Emperor! People love me instead hate me, people respect me instead fear me. Our live decided by our own hands!"
He finished with strong voice. His face is pure determination, stern, strong, serious and show his charisma. Each words he spoke is filled with very strong belief
Everyone who hearing that clearly engulfed in awe at the speech that Naruto says. Few of them want to said it was clear bullshit, fighting like that? Who he think he are? He don't know anything about them! But they can't... The words die on their throat... And somehow they feel Saver speech is actually believable! The proof is what Saver said! He are cursed child but he manage to become Emperor
Then again... It could be lie that Saver spat... But none of them consider that possibility now...
"Your desire... Caster, let me hear it..." Naruto said, broking the silence as he stare at the Princess of Colchis
The Witch of Betrayal snapped out from her shock and awe as she hear the Emperor call her. She stare at Naruto before turn to her extended hand
"My desire... Is to live... An incarnation... Away from people that treat me as tools... To wish enjoying new life..." Caster murmured as she glance to her hand
"A good wish..." Naruto commented before everyone can comment "Desire for second chance for live is pure wish, true not everyone deserve second chance but someone who really willing to change is the one that most deserve it..." He finished with approval nod
Saber stare at Saver with narrowed eyes before she speak "You approve this? While I can understand Lancer and Assassin didn't have wish since they are people who only want good fight, Rider also actually didn't have any desire other than fulfill her Master wish and she only got the bonus. But Caster is another case, she already kill many people just to reach her goal!" She said with scowl yo Saver
Naruto only turn to Saber, his face is neutral while pouring down his sake to his cup "So? Humanity is selfish, we know that Saber. For me that wish isn't bad or good, it was simply wish... If you want to blame someone, once again blame the grail..." Naruto remarked make Saber eyes widened a bit "Isn't that right? Manaka-hime?" He asked as he glance to his Master
"Indeed..." Manaka said with nod "Tell me Saber-san, do you know what Holy Grail is?" She asked as she sip her tea and put the cup down "The Grail originally created to grant people wish, a selfish and petty wish wouldn't you agree? It's because of these wishes that the Grail even came to existence. It was created to grant the petty desires of petty individuals who gave birth to it..." She explained before smile softly "The Grail isn't mean to be filled with blood. I hear its made to collect miracles with no observable form, the wishes of people. When its filled, the Lord's Glory will flow forth..." She spoke
"But that..." Saber paused as she find it was... Stupid... She even can't deny it, the Grail only going to work when it filled with people wish... And also blood in this war, without any Servants died there no way the Grail will come out
"I see you understand, Saber-san... It just as my Emperor say... The Grail is conceived through human thought. But its really quite tragic eh, the majority of people wish not with good intentions, but with evil intention under the name of greed..." Manaka said with bitter smile
Naruto who just drink his cup and put it down let out slow sigh as he stare at the cup on his hand that resemble some Grail "It was very ironic... The holy artifact turned to one like this... No matter how much you want to deny it there will be innocent died in this event, that unchangeable... Very opposite of how it should be isn't it? And because of that from the very start, the Grail already corrupted..." He added his opinion with half closed eyes as he swirling the liquid in his cup 'Corrupted before it got corrupted... How petty...' He thought with bitter chuckle inwardly
Everyone who hearing that once again fell silence... Their minds processing what Manaka and Saver said... For few people they don't care but for people like Shirou who survivor from last 10 years fire, Saber who hold chivalry in high regard, Archer who knew the truth about the Grail, Rin and Illya who from creator family that declaration struck them quite hurt
"That's why... If you want to protest about selfish wish then please don't... After all, I'm sure your wish also selfish wouldn't you agree Saber?" Naruto asked and Saber flinched at the question
She only can clench her fist and lower her face
'Naruto... I think I figure out who Saber is...' Manaka voice come to Naruto head who staring at Saber and surprisingly her voice is quite low as if it pain to find it out
'Oh? You know who is she? Tell me!' Naruto actually surprise. To think his Master able to find one of Servant identity while hearing the debate of Heroes. It was quite impressive
'It quite strange actually... And to think I was fawning over him...' Manaka said with slight embarrassing tone
'Ara? You fan of 'him'? Wow, Saber must be quite famous if you do... Pity 'he' in fact is she...' Naruto replied with laugh to Manaka who have to hold the urge to pout openly
'Not funny... I will broken heart if I found out my idol is actually woman!' Manaka lamented inwardly
'Alright! Alright! Joke aside, who is she?' Naruto asked
'King Arthur, King of Britain...' Manaka declared make Naruto blinked
Naruto who hearing that have his eyes widen a bit. Of course he knew about the King Arthur, it because Manaka also often read the book and show him. Naruto must admit the story of King Arthur is quite impressive though the way of the kingdom is fall is also sad
To be ended by his own son is clearly tragic...
And now he stand in front of the famous King Arthur... This is certainly surprise for him... And the famous King Arthur actually girl well... Poor fangirl like Manaka
'Who next? Gilgamesh? Ha! I'd like to meet him!' Naruto thought with grin inwardly
Oh if only you know...
"Well, Saber. Now why don't you elaborate your wish to us?" Naruto asked as everyone stare at her
Saber who hearing that put calm look. This meeting actually is to find out about another Servants, that her destination. And she must admit, she found many thing from these meeting but people also find more about her
For first, people in here knew she were King in her life thanks to Saver for that, it not like she didn't want people find out what her wish but she afraid it will give her identity...
Well... People already knew she were King... No use to hold back...
"…My wish is to save my homeland. With the omnipotent wish machine, I shall change my homeland fate of destruction." She declared her wish firmly
And when that spoken, silence echoed to the dining room. Everyone stare at Saber with confused look few of them disbelief
"Oi, Saber..." Lancer said in confused tone as he gulped his food "Are you mean you wish to go back and correct your past?" He asked
"Yes... With Holy Grail, I will go back to the past and make my homeland avoid it destruction..." Saber repeated
...
...
...
...
"Let me rephrase that, Saber... You want to go back to the past, then lead your kingdom further to the glory right?" It was Naruto who speak this time
"While it true, I want to go back to past and save my kingdom but no... I did not wish to lead my kingdom anymore, my kingdom is destroyed because I fail therefore I will be replaced by someone else who can lead better than me..." Saber corrected what Naruto said
...
...
...
...
...
'I see... So she are that kind of "King"...' Naruto thought with closed eyes
"Are you fucking serious?!" Lancer yelled in disbelief eyes as he lost all his playful demeanor "Saber! Truly you didn't mean what you said before!" He said in shock
"And what is wrong with my wish?" Saber retorted "My kingdom is my responsible! I fail them and it caused the destruction of my homeland!" She declared firmly
"True it your responsibility! I understand that, but what I mean is are you kidding to stop being King?! I don't know what King were you Saber, but you want to erase your existence as King?!" Lancer asked in disbelief
"If I not become King then my country won't be destroyed! If there better King than me then why I should insist myself become one?!" Saber shot Lancer glare "You even have wish to revive one of your precious people right?! Caster wish to live, Rider wish to see her sisters again. Then what is wrong with my wish?!"
"It because you are King, Saber. That what make it wrong..." Assassin interjected as his face is filled with serious look "I can tell that Caster and Rider isn't a Queen or King like you, and by their story I sure their history is quite bitter. They wish to change that, I can understand. But you, I can't... Saber, you are King. A man who lead your people, how can you wish to erase your King status just like that?"
"I lead my people to destruction, it proved that my leadership isn't right and it make my people died and destruction of my country! What kind of King is that?!" Saber asked
"Did you think a reign will stand forever?! Do you think your Kingdom will in peace forever?! Everything have it own end as long you are human!" Lancer growled "As fellow warrior, I can't believe you would wish something like that! What kind of King are you?!" He yelled
Shirou who hearing since the beginning about to butt in but a grip from Illya hand make him turn to her
"Don't... This is Servant debate Onii-chan, unlike battle it was clash of ideology of Heroic Spirit... You can't butt in, if you do that you will hurt Saber pride..." Illya murmured
"But-"
"Boy. Shut. Up..." Archer cut him coldly "You don't understand anything so. Shut. Up. This isn't Master problem either this is fight for the Grail but about each person ideal, so for once keep your mouth shut and shove your "helping-people" ideal silence for once before it make people around you hate you more..." He said harshly as he glare to his past self
Shirou who hearing that fuming, who the hell is he to speak like that?! What's wrong if he want to help people?! He really hate Archer more and more now... But he inwardly also can't deny Archer words, Illya also right since this isn't his time to just butt in. This is matter of ideal, and it was clearly personal, he can't just butt in like usual and if he do that Saber clearly going to hate him more
Even he can see Rin give grave nod with steel look to not interfere with Saber and Lancer argument
Caster and Rider who hearing the argument didn't even bother to butt in. Both of them know which one is in fault, they maybe not King or Leader in their history but even they know how foolish actually Saber wish... It was an insult for royalty actually... So they only silence and watch the argument
"And as a fellow warrior I can't believe you not understand Lancer! Even your own wish is to bring back someone! What right you have to judge me?!" Saber demanded coldly
"Saber! Don't you understand how foolish actually your wish?! Did I need to explain it to you?! Or I need to shove my spear to your brain this time?!" Lancer can't accept Saber wish... As warrior, it pained him to see Saber wish for something like that! "No wonder your kingdom destroyed, they have a little girl who dream to be King instead the real King!" He snarled with disdain in her voice
"You!" Saber growled as she stand and Lancer also follow the action
"S-Saber!" Shirou called as he try to calm the King of Knights but the King ignore him
"What?! Can't take it little girl?! I only stated the truth!" Lancer sneered as he prepare to summon Gáe Bolg
"That's enough both of you!" Naruto interjected as he can feel the tension rising "Lancer, believe me I do understand what you mean. But you need to remember where you were now..." He said sternly "I won't tolerate fighting, not in here. You can start kill each other tomorrow if you want but not now and here... If you decide to cross your line, I will cut you down now..." He threatened with glare
Lancer who hearing that make noise with his tongue as he bow to Naruto "Sorry, Your Majesty. I too caught in emotion..." Lancer apologized as he back down but not before glare to Saber "The next time we fight, I will claim your heart Saber not for this Grail. But for your people..." He declared strongly
Saber only glare to him with her green eyes as if challenge him to do that now "You may try, but you will fail..." Saber declared back
Naruto only stare at both of them who calmed down with stoic face, however a slight giggle echoed in the dining room and capture their attention. They all see Manaka who hold her mouth as if trying to hold laugh
When Manaka see everyone stare at her, she blinked once before she wave her hand with smile "Oh nothing, please don't stop because of me. I just find the situation is funny..." She said with smile
"And what is funny? Saver Master..." Saber asked coldly
Manaka turn to Saber, her eyes opened slightly and she stare at her "It just... Saber your legend is very famous, it even being known by a child. They all know you as King and acknowledge it, but you here lament about your status as King..." She start to giggle again make Saber eyes widened a bit as she hear the familiar words "If children who idolize you hearing that they will be disappointed..." She said with sigh
"You..." Saber growled at the little girl but Manaka not finish
"I was one of your fan and yes I know who are you Saber, I manage to find it out..." Manaka continued ignoring Saber shock at the revelation "But not just you different from what I think but your dream also quite disappointing... Clearly disappointment..." She finished with angelic smile and another sigh
"Manaka-chan..." Naruto called in chiding manner
"Ah, gomen Kōtei-sama..." Manaka said in apologetic tone "It just I can't hold myself..."
Naruto only stare at her blankly, he turn his head to all Servants and ask "Is there anyone else who wish to laugh or comment for Saber wish?" He asked in monotone
...
...
...
...
"No one? Very well... I, also have none. That mean right now we already knew each other wish..." Naruto remarked with nod
Saber who hearing that gritted her teeth. What Saver did is insult for her! Saver comment to all wish, he even add his own opinion! Even for Assassin who declare don't have wish he still comment about it! At least he talk! But this!
"I want to hear your opinion about my wish, Saver..." Saber said through gritted teeth
Naruto who hearing that paused and turn to Saber, his face is stoic and held no emotion
"What you want me to comment? If you were Knight or Warrior I going to said your wish is quite unique... But I don't have comment for someone who pretended to be King..." Naruto said coldly make Saber eyes widened
"What?!"
"You hear me, Saber... I call you pretender... I do recognize you as Knight but I did not recognize you as King... Not anymore..." Naruto explained with monotone
"I don't see you as a king anymore. Wake up little girl, and face the reality before you lose even what makes you a hero in the first place."
Saber eyes widened in shock. The words certainly familiar and it was very similar like the one in King of Conqueror spoke in Fourth War
Why? What they mean by that?! Her belief isn't wrong! If there another person who can lead better then why she must become King?!
"Saber... I admit you do have aura of royalty, I admit you do have charisma that only King possess, I admit you do have posture of the King..." Naruto said "But you don't have what King have... You don't have the pride of the King..."
"Pride of the King?!" Saber snapped in anger "Like I said what kind of prideful King that-"
"If you think like that then it was pride of Knight instead King!" Naruto cut her sternly, his voice not even high and only normal but for all people in here it as if he spoke through giant speaker "Tell me Saber... What King role for the country?" He asked
"As Kings, we should lead people but it just natural if we sacrifice ourselves for the greater good of our country..." Saber answered
Naruto who hearing that only stare at Saber with blank face, he snap his finger and one maid appear from the door. Naruto motion the maid to come to him before whispered something
The maid nodded before leaving the room again
Everyone stare at Naruto who only have neutral face with confusion, eventually the maid come back and this time she carry something with her
"Here, Kōtei-sama..."
Naruto take the item before place it to the table, and to everyone surprise it was chessboard. Naruto began to open it before he began to setting the piece to it then push the board to Saber
"Tell me Saber, what Pawn for in chess game?" He asked stoically
"Pawn is used to be promotion, it also can be used as distraction and sacrifice so the player win..." Saber answered
Naruto take the King piece before he held it up with index and middle fingers "Tell me what King for?" He asked again
Saber who hearing that glare to Naruto "There no connection! Between real life and these game! What it connection?!"
"Tell me what King for?" Naruto only repeated his question again as he ignore Saber rant
"If King dead then the player will lose..." Saber answered again through glare "But there no connection between these to ruling Kingdom! It was different, you using living people instead piece!"
"Pawn..." Naruto said as he stare at Saber and once again ignoring her comment "You are Pawn Saber... A Pawn that have promotion... That's you..."
"W-What?!"
"You are Pawn, you are not King... There no King that sacrifice themselves for country! A country sacrifice themselves for King! Just like this era, where military sacrifice themselves for President! Not the other way!" He said in cold tone
"I-"
Saber words died in her throat. There many thing she want to retort but Saber can't... Every time she open her mouth, she see the side of Camnlann... Dead bodies everywhere, blood flow like river...
All her friends, subjects and loved one...
Laying in there...
"True chess is different from life, but the basic are same! Country without King or Leader is same like dead country! A King should live! Live for his people! Live to lead his people! Not to save them! Saving people job for Knight, not a King! A King that sacrifice for the sake of his country is not a King! But a tool that called "King"! A tool! A puppet! A Knight that disguise himself as King! Not a true King!" Naruto barked strongly
"Who want to follow martyr?! Nobody! It because martyr is hated before they died! Martyr only realized they right when they died, but what for is it?! It already late! The deed already done and only regret that leave behind!"
The King piece on Naruto fingers slowly melted as a flame chakra channeled to his fingers, it slowly morphed and change form
"Martyr is almost same like Pawn! They sacrifice themselves! They save people! They stand in front row of battlefield! But they not command their people! They seek for the good of people but they not lead people in their quest! Not like King! King lead his people! King understand what his people want! King admired by his people! King superior to his people and envied by them because he are King! Everyone follow him because they want to be like him! They want to follow his ideal!"
The King piece crown began to melt, it figure become slimmer and smaller
"A King who his ideal is to become martyr?! Who the one want to follow that?! Nobody! No one! Because no one is actually wish to become martyr!"
Naruto glare to Saber, the King of Knights flinched as she feel herself become so small. The event at the Camnlann repeated on her mind, where she stand alone...
No one help her...
No one come to her...
No one stand with her...
"You may save your people... Saber, but that's it... You save then leave them... Alone, and blind... You left them in the dark without light... You left your people to die and went untreated... ... ... You were right, you not good King... It because you not King... ..."
She stand at hill of dead bodies alone...
She stare at the scene alone...
She look at the horror alone...
"You only a Pawn who wearing crown of King!" Naruto yelled as he slam the King piece to the table. When his hand release it, it no longer piece of King but a Pawn... A Pawn that mixed with King posture
Saber who hearing that only can fell silence... Her face is pure shock and shame... The silence also fell over the gathering, and to Saber further shame not one of the Servants or Masters rise to her defense, or sought to meet her eyes.
Not just this meeting meet the point where it very similar like in Fourth Grail War... But she also got berated in almost similar way
Naruto who notice this stare at Saber with stoic face... He knew he maybe too hard to her but she need to know this... To erase her own legend as King is something that very not responsible... What about her people that die for her? What about her people who fight for her? Her friends? Her warrior? All of them noble and kind but Saber brush them off by wish she never to be a King
What for their sacrifice then... If their King actually never want to be a King?
"I may still support you if you goes back and change history Saber by leading your people once again..." Naruto tone slowly turn to soft as he stare at Saber "But what you just wish Saber... Is not something that King should wish for... To erase your existence... It mean to throw all your warrior sacrifice... Maybe I'm too harsh and I must say, I'm sorry for that but it was the truth..." He said as he lean back and throw away the chessboard to his back who get caught by some random main that appear out of nowhere "Think over it Saber..." He finished as he turn to every guests in the room again
He can see most of them already done eating or no longer eat, such as Archer, Caster and Rider... He give them soft smile as he speak
"Participant of Fifth Holy Grail War... Tonight, we all already knew each other wish... And each other desire... For that, our meeting purpose is already done... I hope the food and drink manage to satisfy you all..." He turn to Rider and Archer "For Rider and Archer, we can speak in private now... Of course I will have talk with Rider first..."
"I don't mind..." Archer said with nod
"If I may, can we talk now Your Majesty?" Rider asked politely
"Of course, we can..." Naruto said with nod as he stand and turn to everyone "Please wait a moment, enjoy yourself. Talk to each other and get close if you wish... I will talk with Rider for moment..." Naruto gesture Rider to follow him and the Gorgon stand then did what she gestured to
Saber who stare at her lap only can clench her fist further... Had it right? Had it true that her path is actually wrong? But... ... ...
She can't accept it... She can't accept that... Why? Why? Why?
'Gawain... Lancelot... Bedivere... Galahad... Everyone...'
Meanwhile at the Church
Kirei Kotomine clearly smiled in pleasant when see the terrifying and anguish face of Saber
Oh yes he really did...
He had watch and listening to the meeting since the beginning...
And he must say this Saver Servant is very interesting... He never see or heard ability that Saver display... His treasure, his ability... It almost like he are second Gilgamesh
The way he speak, the way he communicated... While it different from Gilgamesh but Kirei can tell that the wisdom and knowledge Saver possess is no doubt on same level or higher than Gilgamesh himself
The Fake Priest actually considered to tell Gilgamesh about this meeting and if he does no doubt the King will come and observe the meeting
And if Gilgamesh seeing this Anchor Vantian, no doubt the King will want it to be added to his collection. All Saver treasure and item is actually high class one! Even the King of Heroes didn't possess Flying Fortress! Vimana, the airship? Yes, but it still nothing compared to Flying Fortress...
This Servant Saver clearly rivaled Gilgamesh and Kirei won't be surprise if Saver actually Gilgamesh from another World...
However he did not tell the King of Heroes about the meeting...
Why? Because Gilgamesh didn't ask...
Simple as that...
Now, now he actually didn't mean to be evil... Well... He maybe mean it since Gilgamesh sometime is quite troublesome to be handled
Let just say this is a little payback for the King... Beside, it will be quite pleasure to see Gilgamesh angry and anguish face later if he find out what he miss because that Final Fantasy VII game...
However despite the fun he have but it seems now he have to be more wary to Saver... This Servant clearly surpass Saber and actually the strongest Servant in this War... This Servant also possess similar mind like Gilgamesh maybe except he lack the arrogant which mean it will make him become more harder...
Kirei have no doubt, only Gilgamesh that can beat Saver in one on one now... He already can see Saver will beat all Servants... The power level is too difference and if this game, Kirei predict Saver maybe only one level below Gilgamesh or maybe on same level perhaps...
Making move against Saver now isn't good choice... Kirei hope is that Gilgamesh will kill Saver... Because the Magus Killer rival is sure that there won't be any Servants can kill him if he serious except Gilgamesh
He need to adjust his plan... For now it better if he observe the situation more close...
'And there that curry too...' Kirei thought with pleasant smirk
Kirei really drooling when he see the red curry... He can see how spicy it is... It even surpass the mapo tofu that he usually eat! Maybe many times stronger!
The spiciness that curry possess...
Oh yeah, if there choose between Gilgamesh and Saver maybe Kirei will pick Saver if he can enjoy that curry everyday...
Hello! Hello everyone! Hahaha sorry for the late update! I've been busy this last week
We finally finish the meeting! So now we can move to next part! The next part there will be slight mix of UBW and Heaven Feel, it also contain few deaths! We finally entering the elimination part
And yes! We see Saber got shoot down due to her ideal. Now before you flame know that I also hate to condemn Saber like that, I really like her trust me but her wish is practically big insult
Erasing her existence as King is same like Heroic Spirit erasing their Hero deed and it actually worse seeing her status as King. It mean she also practically give middle finger plus cold glare to all people who sacrifice themselves for her
I hope you all satisfied with the meeting and none protest it, many people review in last chapter that they want to see Naruto wise and King side. I show you all in here
He can be like tyrant but he not as bad as Gilgamesh and Iskandar. He still have soft heart, while true he bash Saber ideal down but in the end he also show soft spot. He give her few pointer to help her
He also give Shirou explanation about his dream and lesson in life, as for you who seems familiar with the story. I bet you all know from where I take it, ha!
This chapter show Naruto mature and his wisdom as Emperor. True he maybe childish sometime but he are Emperor, and he also caring parent unlike Gilgamesh who never have child in his life before. So he have extra wisdom and softer that Gil!
As for talk with Rider and Archer, it will become flashback in few next chapter!
Anyway! That's all for now! Next chapter will be begin of new day!

Ja Ne! XD
Omake: Curry of Death
Naruto turn and see Lancer still fainted, he have smoke come out from his mouth and nose with comical posture before hummed
"Perhaps another scoop will wake him up..." Naruto gestured to one maid and the maid immediately take one spoon and feed it to Lancer mouth
Everyone who seeing Lancer gulp the food cringed when they see Lancer eyes back to live, however it appear as if he choked. He move his hands to his throat, they can see he attempt to spew it out but seems suffer so much and can't
His face back to purple glowing as he twitched few times before he stop and his hand fell like dead man along with his expression
...
...
...
...
"Ara? They killed Lancer..." Naruto said in surprise
"YOU AREN'T HUMAN!" Everyone except Manaka who only giggling yell to him comically
