Without the mysterious heroine X continuing, Otosaka Souji immediately understood.

"I just can't do anything with you."

Otosaka Souji covered his head with his hands; this was really troublesome.

Although it feels like a hassle, I can't let my servants go hungry.

Otosaka Souji said, looking at the sky where it was already evening.

"Going down the mountain to eat at this time is definitely not an option."

"I'll have to do it myself."

"Assassin's won't be serving burgers or fried chicken today, but they will have barbecue."

That's right, Otosaka Souji plans to make his own barbecue in the grove.

As for the raw materials and tools, Otosaka Souji had already stored them in his own storage space.

Why was he prepared in advance? Because Otosaka Souji had long wanted to try having a barbecue in the wild.

I originally planned to organize a barbecue when I had more free time, but now is the perfect time.

Otosaka Souji moved all the ingredients and the barbecue grill out of the storage space.

Of course, there's also charcoal, tin foil, and bamboo skewers.

He casually said to the mysterious female protagonist X, whose eyes were already shining brightly beside him.

"Assassin, go and hand over Caster, Rider, and Sakura together."

"Understood, Master, I'll go right away."

Then the mysterious female protagonist X ran back into the house in a flash to call Caster, Rider, and Sakura.

The environment in the small grove behind Liudong Temple is wonderful, with a gentle breeze, large rocks, flat land, and the brightest moon and twinkling stars in the night sky.

All I can say is that having a barbecue and picnic in the wild here is very much a Rice experience.

With such a beautiful setting and their superb barbecue skills, Assassin and his team are in for a treat tonight!

Soon, Caster, Rider, and Matou Sakura all came out.

Medea and Matou Sakura voluntarily approached Otosaka Souji, ready to help out.

"Master, let me help you."

"Sir, let me help you too."

Otosaka Souji directly heated the charcoal by manipulating lightning.

Medea and Matou Sakura were helping out, skewering the grilled skewers with bamboo sticks.

Otosaka Souji still has a lot of food and ingredients in his storage space.

Because it can keep food fresh indefinitely, Otosaka Souji doesn't need to worry about whether the food has spoiled.

Rider saw that Matou Sakura was busy, so he joined in to help her.

Everyone joined the queue to help grill the skewers, including the mysterious female protagonist X.

However, the mysterious female protagonist X is clumsy and awkward, even making simple skewers is a struggle.

If it weren't for Matou Sakura's patient instruction and help, who knows what kind of monstrosity the mysterious heroine X's skewers would have ended up in.

Matou Sakura smiled as she patiently taught the mysterious heroine X.

"Hehehe, I saw that you haven't done these trivial little things in Assassin yet."

"First do it like this, then like this, then like this, and finally like this, and you see, it's all strung together."

Sakura Matou shows the finished product she has strung to the mysterious heroine X.

"Oh, I get it."

The mysterious female protagonist, X, quickly indicated that she understood.

Unfortunately, the mysterious female protagonist X has the brain but not the hands.

Brain: "Oh, I see! That's easy! I got it!"

Hand: "What the hell?! Why is this so difficult! It should be like this, right?! No, it should be like this! But that's not right either! What is it supposed to be like?! I'm so frustrated!"

So the mysterious female protagonist X is a typical example of this: she can do it in her brain, but not in her hands.

Perhaps all that exists in the mind of the mysterious heroine X is Saber and food!

After all, it's common knowledge that Artoria Pendragon, the Saber Queen, has never been to the kitchen; with her kingly stomach, all she does is eat.

The true identity of the mysterious heroine X is Artoria Pendragon, so their experiences should be very similar.

The thing that Artoria Pendragon used to eat most was probably mashed potatoes made by Gawain, the Knight of the Round Table.

This might explain why Artoria Pendragon finds everything delicious in the modern world she comes from.

Gao Wenqing, your sins are grave!

Medea approached Otosaka Souji, busy with her work, and whispered in his ear.

"Master, I have finished analyzing the Greater Grail, but we still need one last step to fully analyze it."

"That's the Lesser Grail. We need to find the Lesser Grail to fully understand the Grail ritual."

Medea told Otosaka Souji about her progress and results over the past few days.

After listening, Otosaka Souji responded.

"The Lesser Grail, huh?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of the Lesser Grail."

Otosaka Souji knew where the Lesser Grail was located.

In each Holy Grail War, the Lesser Grail is transplanted into a homunculus by the Einzbern family.

Irisviel von Einzbern in the Fourth Holy Grail War had a Lesser Grail transplanted into her body.

In this Holy Grail War, the Lesser Grail is the heart of Illyasviel von Einzbern.

To obtain the Lesser Grail without risking one's life.

For Otosaka Souji, it was also a technical task.

Otosaka Souji thought for a moment, and perhaps Caster Medea had a way to retrieve the Lesser Grail without harming Illya's life.

"Medea, we might need your help when we get the Lesser Grail."

"Understood, Master. If anything comes up, please feel free to bother me!"

Medea was more than willing to do whatever Otosaka Souji asked.

It seems that Medea has already fallen for Otosaka Souji's charms.

The first batch of grilled food was ready, and everyone enjoyed it. The happiest of all was the mysterious female protagonist, X.

Most of them were eaten by the mysterious female protagonist, X.

Otosaka Souji then brought out an enormous oven.

"Now comes the main event."

As he spoke, Otosaka Souji conjured up another whole, processed sheep.

"The whole roasted lamb is the main attraction; what we ate before was just an appetizer."

It takes a long time to roast a whole sheep, at least two or three hours.

However, the mountain man had his own clever plan, and Otosaka Souji also had his own way of making the sheep roast faster.

As the whole roasted lamb came out of the oven, the mysterious female protagonist X, who couldn't wait any longer, leaned forward with her eyes shining, her gaze fixed on the whole roasted lamb.

My mouth was watering.

Otosaka Souji could only glean two words from the mysterious heroine X's actions and expressions.

I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat, I still want to eat.

Gao Wenqing, look at you! Just because all you can do is make mashed potatoes, look what Artoria Pendragon has become!

Where is there even a trace of royal bearing?

Gao Wenqing, you are truly a deeply sinful man.
