Chapter 112 Invitation
"In that case, let's go. Although I'm not interested in adding another Command Seal to command Heroic Spirits, I still hate people who attack cubs even more."
After thinking it over, Yu Bai decided to join the campaign to defeat Caster. Like Jill, he felt more favorably toward cubs than adults, whether they were animals or human offspring.
Back when Gilgamesh hadn't met Enkidu, he was called a tyrant by the people of Uruk, yet he never harmed any of the cubs. Of course, countless cubs were frightened to tears by a single glance from the King of Heroes. But it was never out of malice, but simply the natural pressure emanating from his kingly aura.
“It seems we’ll have to save our celebration for later.” After saying that, Yu Bai turned to Ichigo Hitofuri and Diarmuid and instructed them: “Ichigo, you and Kotobuki go and search for Caster and the others. Diarmuid… you come with me, and after we get news from Ichigo and the others, we’ll go and kill Caster together.”
"Yes, Master/Lord." Upon hearing Yu Bai's words, Ichigo Hitofuri returned to the citadel to find Gokotai and Ran Toushirou, while Diarmuid slowly transformed into spirit particles and followed Yu Bai.
Seeing that his best friend had decided to participate in the campaign against Caster, Gilgamesh was naturally prepared to go with Yu Bai. However, this matter had diverted his best friend's attention, and Enkidu had even postponed his reunion celebration with him, which made him a little unhappy.
Ha, he'd better not run into this Caster group, or he'll tear this scum who's getting in the way of his celebration with his best friend to pieces!
Ultimately, he should have given the Holy Grail directly to his best friend, so that his best friend would have shifted his attention away from those unimportant bastards and focused solely on him!
……
That's what he thought, but the descendant of a certain hero king was sent away by his best friend to find him a new residence. After all, the first floor of the place Yu Bai was currently living in had been destroyed so badly by Gilgamesh and Ichigo Hitofuri that he didn't want to encounter any collapse while sleeping at night.
Since that's the case, whoever caused the damage should deal with it. Gilgamesh, carrying the request of his best friend, returned to the Tohsaka residence and asked his Master to find a new house for Yu Bai, and demanded that it be large and luxurious.
Leaving aside the fact that Tokiomi Tohsaka was completely bewildered as he showed Gilgamesh countless houses, none of which met the King of Heroes' standards, he could only continue searching for a residence for the King of Heroes' best friend with a numb expression.
There's no one else who's reached this level as a Master.
Yu Bai then received a message from Ichigo Hitofuri and the others. Ichigo said that they had discovered a strong resentment in an underground passage in Fuyuki City, and that most of the resentment came from children.
Upon receiving this news, Yu Bai led Diarmuid to the place Ichigo Hitofuri had mentioned.
"Master, I'm sorry." Diarmuid looked at his Master on the way and suddenly said. He had wanted to say these words last night. When he returned to Yu Bai's residence after his battle with Berserker, Hasebe had come to see him.
The two talked for a long time, and Diarmuid realized that, just as the sword spirit had said, he had actually prioritized the safety of his lord, which he wanted to serve, over his own chivalry in that situation, compared to these spirits. And he hadn't even noticed this, given Yu Bai's consent.
No wonder the three sword spirits looked at me strangely when he returned. If things continue like this, perhaps I really will not be his master this time.
Hearing Diarmuid's apology, Yu Bai sighed silently, turned to the spirit whose head was bowed and whose virtual dog ears seemed to droop, and said gently:
"Diarmuid, as the chief knight in Celtic mythology, you have your code of chivalry, which I respect and understand. Therefore, you do not need to apologize to me. If one day you completely abandon or suppress your beliefs in order to be loyal, then you will no longer be yourself."
"The Heroic Spirit has been summoned to the mortal realm for only seven days. I hope you can fight as you please. So, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, fight with all your might! But there's only one condition: you said you wanted to pledge your allegiance to me, so you must remain loyal to me alone during the Holy Grail War."
Upon hearing this, Diarmuid abruptly raised his head, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination. He nodded solemnly, "Of course, Master!"
He was deeply grateful for Yu Bai's trust and tolerance, which strengthened his resolve to be loyal to his Master. No matter what happened afterward, his Master's safety would be the most important thing.
"That's good, let's go." Yu Bai gently ruffled the black hair of the heroic spirit in front of him and smiled slightly after feeling the soft touch in his hand.
As they approached their destination, Yu Bai and his group unexpectedly encountered Conqueror King and his entourage. It seemed they, too, had discovered the Caster Group's whereabouts and were searching for them.
"Oh! Isn't this Lancer's Master? You're here to see Caster too? Would you like me to give you a ride?" The King of Conquerors, holding the reins, sat on his chariot and greeted Yu Bai and Diarmuid in a casual manner.
"I originally intended to come and find you, but on the way, my little master said there was a dark aura here, which should be the Caster group that the church mentioned, so I came to take a look first."
"You, hello."
Waver, who had been lifted up like a chick by the King of Conquerors, awkwardly addressed the Lancers in front of him while hanging in mid-air. Feeling extremely embarrassed, his cheeks were flushed red, and he kept waving his arms and legs in the air, demanding that the King of Conquerors put him down.
"What does the King of Conquerors want with me?"
Seeing that Waver had struggled for a long time and the King of Conquerors was completely unresponsive, Yu Bai felt he should give the poor child some face. He shifted his gaze from Waver and asked the King of Conquerors why he had come to see him.
"Oh, I was planning to invite you and that Gilgamesh to a party at Saber's house. Look! I've even prepared the drinks. Let's have a feast fit for royalty!"
The Conqueror patted a large wooden barrel next to him. The faint aroma of wine wafting from the air indicated that the wine inside was quite old. It was just a mystery how the Conqueror had obtained such a large barrel.
"...I am not a king. If you want to find Gil, shouldn't you go directly to him?" Yu Bai was somewhat amused and exasperated by the Conqueror King's words.
The Conqueror King chuckled, "But if you come, Gilgamesh will surely come too, right? Besides, although you are not a king, that arrogant Heroic Spirit said yesterday that you possess the aura of a god. I have never drunk with a god before, so Master of Lancer, come and join the king's feast!"
……
Yu Bai: I am not a king. If you want to hold a royal banquet, you shouldn't come to me.
Conqueror King: If you come, Gilgamesh will definitely come with you. Anyway, let's get you here first.
