The one-day tour of Food Wars World ends here.

Although we didn't actually stay for a whole day, everyone was almost full, and the follow-up matters were dealt with, so there was not much point in staying any longer.

Anyway, the servants still had unfinished food.

Including Altria Alter.

Before leaving, she packed up all the fried chicken and other things made by Erina Kiribi and took them away. Now she was eating with relish while holding the food bag.

"Okay, everyone go back and rest." Shen He smiled and joked, "If you are prone to obesity, it's best to exercise."

"Ah!"

There were actually a few girls who exclaimed.

But more of them just seemed to have heard nothing, continued to eat on their own, and turned away.

Most people can't gain weight.

"Master." Jeanne glanced at Altria Alter, who was standing next to Shen He and was not ready to leave, and bit her lip, "Then, then I'll go back to my room first."

"Well, go ahead." Shen He responded softly, "I'll be back later."

He did have something that he wanted to talk to Altria Alter about.

"Violet, come to my room."

Shi also pulled Violet away, and glared at Shen He fiercely when he passed by.

Shen He had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Soon, only Shen He and Altria Alter were left in the living room.

"Little Altria." Shen He called her with this more intimate name, and asked her to sit on the sofa, and asked curiously, "If you and Altria share a body, won't you feel uncomfortable with the things she eats?"

After all, the two people's tastes are too different.

The Black King can't stand those exquisite foods at all. It must be very uncomfortable to fill his stomach with things he doesn't like.

"Heroic spirits don't have bodies." Altria Alter swallowed the potato chips in her mouth and explained, "We just share a spiritual base. After the form changes, this body that is materialized by magic will also be replaced."

"Understood." Shen He nodded.

Originally, he was still thinking about whether there was a way to separate the two.

But now thinking about it, he did overlook a fact.

Altria alter is essentially Altria showing a side that she is not willing to show at ordinary times, but it is still herself.

In that case, asking him to change his name is also a request that Altria dare not make at ordinary times?

"Master."

Altria alter suddenly called out, seeming to be a little hesitant.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Shen He smiled, "Since it is little Alt, there should be nothing you can't say."

"Not every alter will always do things without caring about anything like Black Jeanne." Altria alter blushed and glared at Shen He, but still took a deep breath, "Do you like the other me more, or do you like me more?"

"...Why is it based on liking?" Shen He sighed.

He has already heard that the liking asked by Altria alter is different from the liking he understood in the past.

"Isn't it?" Altria alter's face was still a little red, but her eyes dared to look directly at Shen He.

"No, it is." Shen He no longer intends to avoid this question.

Although it is impossible to accurately identify whether the feelings I have for some servants are romantic, there is no doubt that they are beyond the level of feelings that can be explained by ordinary relationships.

If I like Jeanne, I am attracted by her innocence and kindness.

I like Altria, more because I feel sorry for her and admire her strength.

"Hehe." Altria alter seemed a little proud, and after a while, she showed a triumphant smile, "It seems necessary to remind you that we don't 'like' you."

"I knew it earlier." Shen He stretched and leaned on the sofa, "What you like should be a character that still grits teeth and moves forward in difficult situations, which is too different from me. To put it intuitively, Altria... That girl should be grateful to me, and a little worried that I am good to her for ulterior motives, so her heart is beating like a deer, and she is a little at a loss."

"Well, that's not the case."

Altria alter suddenly muttered shyly.

Then she shook her head desperately.

She also reached out and patted Shen He's shoulder hard.

"Anyway, I've seen everything you've done so far. To be honest, it's very good. You're worthy of being my Master. But if you want to start a harem like this, you're still a long way off, so..."

"I didn't say I wanted to start one... Forget it." Shen He shook his head.

He already had a bottom line in his heart.

Although he has done a lot for Altria so far, he has only received more gratitude in return.

But there is hope.

After all, in Altria's heart, no man is more important than her Master.

It's just...

Jeanne is so cute. Now that I've tricked her into it, I can't bear to make her sad.

And in the final analysis, what kind of relationship should there be between a Master and a Servant?

Shen He recalled all the stories he had seen in his mind.

There are lovers, masters and servants, kings and subordinates, brothers, and those who don't get along with each other or even deliberately murder each other. But no matter what the relationship is, that piece of contract has already bound the two souls and wills together tightly.

For someone like him, it's even harder to separate.

"Anyway, Little Al, you won't leave me, right?" Shen He turned his head and looked at the Knight King beside him.

"You guy——!" Altria Alter opened her eyes wide, and seemed a little angry, "You suddenly asked such a question, do you regret summoning me?"

"No, how could it be possible."

Shen He was speechless, then he sat up straight and looked at her very seriously.

"What I mean is, whether there is a contract or not, no matter what the future will be like, you will be willing to stay by my side, right?"

"Of course!" Artoria Alter felt Shen He's serious gaze, her face flushed, but she didn't dare to look away, and could only stammer and make excuses, "Yes, yes, I am your knight and maid. We had already agreed on it at the beginning. Even if you regret it now, it's too late. No matter what, I will bring you victory, and you have to become a qualified master... Will you feel troubled?"

"I'd love to, but it's not enough..." Shen He frowned pretentiously, "Actually, I think I'm already a qualified master."

"Huh--" Artoria Alter showed a disgusted expression. For the strict Knight King, this kind of joke is completely incomprehensible. "It's not okay to be lazy like this. By the way, it's a rare opportunity. Since there is still time, then come and perform the duties of a maid. Master, come with me to the training ground! I want to train your swordsmanship well."

"What? Now?" Shen He was confused.

But Altria Alter had already forcibly grabbed his hand and walked towards the temporary training ground under the castle, and she had not forgotten to bring her own snacks.

Magic power was already surging on her body, and armor and swords emerged.

So...

Shen He felt the power in his hands that he could not break free of, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.

The atmosphere in the last second was obviously super good, what would it take for it to suddenly become training.

And what kind of maid's duty is this.

No matter what, Shen He could not stop Altria Alter who was in high spirits, and was dragged by her to fight fiercely with swords in the training ground. Jeanne, who was not very reassured during the period, came over specially, watched for a while, and left with a sigh of relief.

In terms of strength alone, Shen He could not compete with the blackened Knight King, and his swordsmanship was crushed into slag. However, in just a few hours, he was exhausted and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Physical fatigue is nothing, it is the highly concentrated mind that is tiring.

"You can actually do this..."

Altria sat beside Shen He and changed into the black evening dress again.

After thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand to lift Shen He's head and put it on her lap.

"This, this is a reward." Before Shen He could speak, Altria Alter said with a red face, "Every time you and Jeanne finish training, she does this, right?"

"That's right." Shen He turned his eyes and stared at the potato chip crumbs that were still on Altria Alter's mouth. "It would be better if there was something to eat."

"No, only this one won't work!"

Altria Alter quickly picked up the snack bag at hand and looked at Shen He in panic.

"Okay."

Shen He looked regretful.

"..."

Altria Alter suddenly stopped talking.

Shen He didn't speak again.

This silent silence lasted for more than ten minutes.

Altria Alter seemed to exhale from her rosy lips and helped Shen He, who had recovered some strength, to stand up.

"Is it over?" Shen He asked softly.

"Yes." The answer was also soft.

After making sure that Shen He could stand on his own, Altria Alter let go of her hand, took two steps back, and suddenly showed a bright smile she had never had before.

"Today--"

She pinched her dress, walked with a lady's steps, and kneeled slightly to Shen He with nobility and elegance.

Her whole body was shrouded in white light.

The Knight King, who had turned into Altria again, maintained the same posture and smile.

"-Thank you very much, Master."

"Me too."

Shen He also responded with a sincere smile.

With Altria's back leaving, this special day was truly over.

Tomorrow will be a brand new day.

Shen He returned to his room and saw Joan of Arc with a gentle smile.

"I'm back, Joan of Arc." The words came out of his mouth for some reason.

"Well, you are exhausted, right?" Jeanne suddenly winked playfully, took two steps forward with her hands behind her back, and stood only two or three centimeters away from him, her lovely red lips exhaling slightly, "Do you want to sleep, take a shower, or... go to bed later?"

"..."

The smile froze on Shen He's face, who was aching all over.

Is it too late to apologize now?

In short, this special day is not over yet.

......

On the third day after returning from the food wars world, Erina Kiribi came back specially and made a rich dinner as a welcome for Lelouch's return and a farewell dinner for Nunnally and Euphemia.

Considering the shift in the focus of work.

Lelouch may stay in the castle for a long time in the future, and only go back to accompany his sister and girlfriend when he is not busy.

It is worth mentioning that he did not tell Shirley about Chaldea and that he was Zero.

So his relationship with Shirley, on the surface, is just a simple campus love.

"How is CC now?"

At the table, Shen He held up a glass of wine and sat with Lelouch chatting.

"She had a chance to fulfill her wish this time." Lelouch's eyes revealed a bit of complexity, "But she gave up in the end. When I asked her the reason, she said that she didn't want to see my wish go unfulfilled."

"Really..." Shen He didn't know the details, so he just asked, "What do you think?"

"As a witch who has lived for who knows how many years, it is difficult for anyone to figure out her mind." Lelouch shook his head, "But if she is alive, it is better than dead...that's all."

"That's all?" Shen He didn't know what kind of mood he should use to face this change, "You should know that the original bond between you and her would be very deep."

"Yes, but I also know that my current lover is Shirley." Lelouch chuckled.

In his heart, he would not be entangled with things that had not happened. What's more, in the process of getting along with CC, although he could feel the loneliness of the other party, he is no longer lonely now.

"Is that so..." Shen He could only sigh.

His appearance and intervention saved Euphemia, saved Shirley, and saved many people, but he felt a little sorry for CC.

For this immortal witch.

It is indeed difficult for anyone to enter her heart.

"Let's not talk about this. Is the Master planning to leave tomorrow?" Lelouch changed the subject just right.

"That's right." Shen He nodded, "Let's go to Asgard first. The spaceships we got in the New York War don't have the ability to travel in space. Asgard is the only channel to the stars so far."

Space travel in this world requires something called a space jump engine.

And those small warships of Chirita are not equipped with it.

I'm afraid it's only available on medium-sized warships or motherships. At that time, there was no way to conduct a detailed search.

As for the single-soldier space fighter from Macross that was drawn in the backpack.

It's a single-person space fighter, and it's useless without coordinates.

"Do you need to make an official visit to Asgard?" Lelouch asked.

"No." Shen He shook his head, "Odin's kindness and generosity are only for his son. He himself is not easy to approach. When Thor calms down the war in the Nine Realms, the God's Domain will encounter a crisis. I plan to intervene at that time. While taking advantage of the event, it would be best to push Thor to the throne. That way, there will be sufficient reason to interfere with the entire God's Domain."

It was the same sentence at the beginning.

Why not help others when it can also benefit yourself?
