Chapter 58

"Suck... Ah, the world is truly peaceful." In front of the Tendou Tofu Shop, Xinxin took a sip of tea, watching the passersby and couldn't help but say.

"Master, it seems that every time you say that, someone comes to break the peace," Kenshin said with a black line on his face, but his hands didn't tremble at all as he continued to serve food to the customers in the tofu shop. After all, the Tendou Tofu Shop was incredibly popular, not only because of the chef's superb skills, but also because of the extremely subtle symbolic magic used in the decorations outside.

"Didn't you say something similar yesterday, and then that Assassin got turned into a sieve by Archer?" Using the scales of the Unrivaled Dragon as a detector, Xinxin and the others watched a performance last night that was far more agile than the most skilled gymnast. Assassin performed various gymnastic poses in the Farbarka family's fortress, which was known as a magical stronghold, easily evading the magical detection. Unfortunately, this Assassin didn't know his Master's true intentions. Just as he was about to destroy the core gem of the magical stronghold, several long spear-type Noble Phantasms descended from the sky, pinning Assassin's hand to the stone platform. He was then reduced to pieces by a Servant in golden heavy armor.

"Um... It shouldn't be that coincidental this time, Kenshin, go back to work." At that moment, a voice raised the alertness of both Xinxin and Kenshin to an extremely high level.

"Wait, Rider, are you going out just to taste the local cuisine?" A smooth voice came from not far from the Tendou Tofu Shop, followed by a rough voice.

"Kid, conquering an opponent means taking their food and women, making them submit willingly. Otherwise, who would want to conquer others if it brings no benefits and only consumes their own wealth?"

The Conqueror Iskandar, also known as Alexander, appeared as a Rider. His Master was a student of the Clock Tower's Fourth Stone, Waver. Although Waver summoned the Emperor with a cloak, even without the cloak, the Servant Waver would summon would likely be the Conqueror. The compatibility between the two was the highest in this Holy Grail War, except for the additional Xinxin and Kenshin.

"Ah, I can't stand it. If other Servants find out, it will be troublesome." Waver held his head, following Rider with a self-destructive attitude.

"Don't be like that, kid. At least you're my Master, don't be so clueless about life. Oh, look, that shop seems very popular. Kid, let's go check it out." Unfortunately, the place the Conqueror pointed to was the currently booming Tendou Tofu Shop.

'How about that, Master, your jinx...'

'Cough, it's just a coincidence. Pay attention, Kenshin. This Conqueror may look like a carefree giant, but he is actually very meticulous, befitting his reputation as a Conqueror. Even with the talisman I made to conceal your Servant aura, there's no guarantee you won't be discovered. If I move you away now, it might raise his suspicions, so we'll have to play it by ear.'

'Understood, Master. You should be careful too. Even though your strength is greater than mine, according to the data you provided, if we face the King's Army head-on, our losses would be significant. It's best to remain hidden.'

'Hmm... Actually, I have an idea I want to try.' O(∩_∩)O~

Before Kenshin could ask what idea Xinxin had, the Conqueror had already dragged Waver into the shop and picked up the menu.

"Boss, give me a plate of grilled meat, and this, this... bring them all, ha-ha." The Conqueror swaggered into Xinxin's shop, dragged Waver to a large table, and ordered over a dozen dishes, all of which were the more expensive items on the Tendou Tofu Shop menu, almost making Waver lose his temper.

"Alex, don't order so much at once. This is a famous new restaurant in the area, and the prices are quite high." Waver wailed, trying to stop the Conqueror, but the Conqueror had already finished ordering, and the waitress had taken the order.

"Kid, aren't you a mage? Can't you even afford a meal?" The Conqueror scratched his thick beard, looking puzzled at Waver.

"Please, Alex, I'm just a mage apprentice. I can afford ordinary things, but remember, we're in Fuyuki City, Japan, not England. I don't have much money on me, and with all the things you're buying, we'll face a financial crisis." Seeing the waitress take the order to the back, Waver turned pale.

"Ha-ha-ha, don't worry, I'll use the Conqueror's charisma to get the meal for free. Trust me, kid."

'Conqueror's charisma? I have a bad feeling...' Hearing the Conqueror's words, Kenshin and Xinxin exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, their premonition came true. After the Conqueror and Waver finished their meal, they approached Xinxin to negotiate. Despite the Conqueror's efforts, he couldn't persuade Xinxin. In the end, Waver stepped in.

"Alex, let me handle it." Waver began to暗示 Xinxin.

"These two guests have already paid, they can leave." The suggestion ended.

"So, the two guests have already paid..." Hearing this, Waver was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the atmosphere around him felt strange. The other customers in the Tendou Tofu Shop seemed to have disappeared. Xinxin's next words sent a chill down Waver's spine.

"Do you think I would say that, Mr. Waver and the unknown Servant?" Hearing this, Waver's face turned wary, and he quickly hid behind Rider. Xinxin didn't say anything, just sat at a nearby table and poured tea for himself and the opposite side.

"Kid, you don't need to be nervous. If this unknown person wanted to attack, they could have done so while we were eating. A simple trick could have made you leave the stage." As expected of the Conqueror, despite his carefree appearance, he was indeed meticulous.

"Yes, that's true, but I don't want my shop to be destroyed. Of course, I have an idea. I wonder if you're willing to listen."

"Of course, listening to others' ideas is a virtue of a king. Unknown Master and the Servant in the hall, please speak." The Conqueror answered for Waver, and upon hearing this, Xinxin and Kenshin were extremely surprised.

"Don't be surprised. Although I can't sense your power through your auras, which are likely concealed by some magical item, I can clearly see the will and charisma in your eyes, far exceeding that of ordinary people." Seeing Xinxin and the others' surprised expressions, the Conqueror explained.

"Truly worthy of the Conqueror Iskandar. Then I'll be straightforward..."

Night fell, and Xinxin and Kenshin moved at high speed through Fuyuki City.

"Master... I didn't expect the Conqueror to actually ally with us."

"The Conqueror's level is indeed surprising. He is arguably the second strongest in this Holy Grail War, next to Gilgamesh. Forming an alliance with him is a significant help. After all, my biggest opponent, Gilgamesh, has too many tricks up his sleeve. One misstep, and he could use a Noble Phantasm that counters me to finish me off."

"Master also has moments of uncertainty, that's rare." Despite their rapid movement, their conversation was unaffected.

"Many times, I have no choice..." After saying this, the two arrived at a port filled with shipping containers, where a warrior with dual guns was emitting an aura to lure other Servants.

Xinxin and Kenshin landed from the air. Due to their well-concealed auras, they were only noticed by Lancer upon landing. Diarmuid, the chief warrior of the Fianna, immediately raised his dual guns in a defensive stance. Seeing that Xinxin and Kenshin didn't attack immediately, Diarmuid lowered his guns.

Kenshin stepped forward, deactivating the aura concealment device. The Servant aura was immediately sensed by Diarmuid.

"Truly remarkable magical skills, to conceal a Servant's aura to the point where I almost couldn't detect it. And from the sharp sword aura, you must be a Saber."

"Yes, from your dual guns, you must be a Lancer." Diarmuid responded calmly.

"Indeed. Ha, I didn't expect to introduce ourselves so casually before a decisive battle. But sometimes, we have no choice."

A massive amount of magical energy emanated from Kenshin's body, and the familiar red ronin outfit appeared. Stepping forward with his left hand gripping the hilt of the reverse-blade sword, the two Servants faced each other, their auras clashing and stirring up the ground.

"Let's decide this, Lancer."

"More than willing, Saber."

"Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah." The two charged at each other, the silver dragon fang and the storm of red and yellow colliding...
