Taking a sip of the clear liquid in the white beaker in his hand, the elegant swordsman with long blue braids revealed a hint of joking in his alcohol-smelling tone.
In Chaldea, there are definitely not a few servants who drink. However, he is the only one who can drink with such an elegant temperament.
Other drinking servants, such as Jing Ke and Ushiwakamaru, drink like cattle, as if they are participating in a drinking competition and will not stop until they finish drinking. Or Alexander and Oda Nobunaga's heroic drinking method, not only drinking,
He also invites others, gambles and drinks, has fun, and even dances with swords to add to the fun. There is also the type of Leonardo da Vinci who secretly fishes and drinks after work to relieve his fatigue.
Kojiro's drinking method does not fall into any of the above categories.
Drinking is neither an interest nor a hobby for him, nor is it a way to make friends, nor is it a sign of self-expression. When he drinks, he simply wants to drink something tasty. Just like everyone else drinks.
He won't be immersed in it. On the contrary, it is a little bit tainted by the taste of the wine. The way he holds the wine glass always makes people feel that even the wine glass has become elegant.
According to legend, the precious tea sets from the Warring States Period in Japan were even worth exchanging with famous people.
By the way, Yagi Yukisai, like most modern Japanese high school students, his impression of the history of the Warring States Period comes from games. Therefore, his view of history has nothing to use as a reference.
In fact, Kojiro's complaint is quite accurate.
Because of his own weapons, Yagi Xuesai rarely comes to see Kojiro anymore.
The reason is very simple, there is a huge difference between the styles of katana swords and Western swords.
Although there is a saying "paradigm", the prerequisite for bypassing is that you must first be proficient in your own martial arts! If you are not even good at your own Western swordsmanship, how can you learn other things?
In addition, Mordred's character of being unable to bear loneliness always drags him to training. When he has nothing to do, Yagi will watch animations, play games, and read comics. Apart from Mordred, he
When I have a sudden impulse, I will practice with Altria Alter or Diarmuid.
Now that Scathach has arrived, he is even more devoted to her.
The reason? Kojiro can also guess some of it.
Maybe he took a fancy to Scathach's skills.
[The wisdom of the devil].
That is a special skill that allows Scathach to teach others the skills he possesses.
It would not be too far-fetched to be able to penetrate her eyes and learn some hero-specific skills from her. Now it would be very demanding for Yagi Yuzhai to just practice spears without neglecting sword practice. How could he still ask for it?
Will he come to his side?
Kojiro was very open-minded.
(My thoughts are a bit heavy, this is not like me.)
He raised his glass high and drank the clear liquid in one gulp.
This is Japanese sake.
The alcohol content is very low, but the stamina is strong. Generally speaking, Kojiro would not drink in such a bold way. But today, I just want to drink away the haze in my heart, so forget it.
"Well, it's great to be able to sit at the same table as the legendary swordsman Kojiro. Hey, it would be great if Hijikata-san is here."
On the side, the young swordsman is sitting upright, wearing a cherry-pink kimono, holding a white porcelain wine glass in both hands. With the cherry blossoms above her head and the full moon in the sky, she looks as beautiful as a fairy.
Genius swordsman, Okita Souji.
One of the hottest themes in Japan and the representative character of the Shinsengumi.
"Hijikata Toshizo? Come to think of it, is he also a woman?"
Yagi Xuesai joked.
Hearing him joking, Souji Okita showed a slightly unhappy expression on his face. She said with a straight face, "Don't make fun of Mr. Hijikata. He is very powerful! And of course he is a man! What are you talking about?"
That’s stupid, why does Hijikata-san have to be a woman!”
Okita Souji's angry look made Yagi Yussai feel aggrieved: Blame me? Okita Souji was still a man in history, what did I say?
As for why Yagi Xuesai suddenly came to them to watch the moon and drink together? Of course it's because...
Yagi Xuezhai glanced at the servant who was drinking loudly and his whole face was red.
He looked like a child no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with blue hair and big glasses.
His real name is Andersen. Although he looks like a child on the outside, on the inside he is a mature, cynical and misanthropic fairy tale author who watches human history with a cold eye.
His whole body lay faceless on the ground, and Andersen drank another jar of sake.
At first, he thought the sake was not strong enough, but later the alcohol got stronger and he stopped caring.
By the way, it should be explained here that Chaldea once banned the provision of alcohol to Servants due to certain Servants' reasons. But recently, Miss Noelle suddenly lifted this ban, but if you want to drink, you must report it in advance.
, only if there is a legitimate reason.
This banquet was approved in the name of "Japanese swordsmen enjoying flowers, drinking wine and exchanging sword skills".
But for Andersen, this was enough.
It's enough to be banned from drinking just because he looks like a kid.
As for why Yagi Xuezai helped him...
"So, Mr. Andersen! What did you promise about the manuscript?"
Yagi Xuezhai reminded him in a low voice.
Yes, this is his purpose.
The Noble Phantasm [Story for You] held by Andersen has a special effect.
If he continues to target a certain person and write stories for him, that person will receive a [Story Bonus]. It is similar to a popularity bonus.
For Yagi, the weakest link as a servant is popularity.
If you could ask a world-famous fairy tale writer to write your story into a book...
Thinking about it, I’m a little excited!
"Hey! What's so annoying about that kind of thing! Huh, huh, huh... there's a lot of inspiration here! Hmm!"
While Andersen was uttering drunken gibbering, he picked up the huge book he was carrying, picked up the quill beside him, and started writing quickly.
This is the [Youth Adventure Story] promised to Yagi Yusei.
As the saying goes, don't get up early if you don't have any advantages. Of course, Yagi Xuezhai came here for Andersen's enhanced Noble Phantasm.
As long as this happens, I might be able to grow into a first-class...
Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard a pop, and Andersen was lying on the book, his head tilted, and he actually fell asleep!!
Sake is the type that feels very light in the mouth but has a strong stamina. If you drink one jar after another, you will definitely pass out at the end!
Yagi Xuezhai was stunned. This development was really...
"Yagi, do you want to drink too?"
Kojiro held out his wine glass to him.
"...Well, although I'm not old enough to drink yet, it's okay to have a drink once in a while."
Yagi Xuesai smiled slightly and thought to himself: Although he didn't trick Andersen into writing a story for him, it was still a great reward to be able to drink with these famous heroes.
