"Domo, I am Japanese man now."

(Einar's POV)
After the sudden rise of a new king, Arthur Pendragon, many came to show their respect, submit loyalty or challenge him for a duel if they think that king was not worthy. Of course, he was a king with iron will and passion that shines even brighter than the sun. He easily defeated every single obstacle and showed the Britons that they don't have to fear any longer.
One after another, the party of four knights came across many cities and territories and makes them submit to the rightful king.
Soon they reached the final goal to reach the Kingdom of Cameliard. From modern-day geography, it exists somewhere in Wales. This country was ruled by King Leodegrance.
We first showed our loyalty and then hold the negotiations if King Leodegrance wants to serve King Arthur. Like other Kings of small kingdoms in this era, he was more than happy to serve the rightful king with the same condition, slay Vortigern first.

Agility: B+ -> B+++
Luck: EX]
My strength also improved but it was not that much since from now on my strength lies in techniques, magic, and age experience.
My ability to handle the spear in the battle was also improved but I still lack a technique if I have to use the spear manually. I should look for a teacher to improve my technique but there were not many who handles spear in this era.
'I wonder if I could find a teacher with skintight suit and voluptuous body....'
I also learned to use magecraft on gems and jewels and they were very effective. Although they are costly, they could be considered the most outstanding material if you want to enchant them with magic. They produce good results and their abilities to function also don't decay.
"Sir Einar, what are you thinking?" A girl asked. She had long blond hair and purplish eyes. She was also dressed in an exquisite robe. She had pure milky skin and a beautiful face.
"Nothing serious, Princess Guinevere. Just some recipes easy for you to make." I answered to person.
That's right; the person in front of me was famous Guinevere, daughter of King Leodegrance and wife of King Arthur and lover of Lancelot from the legends.
It was my first time meeting with the legendary princess at this early stage.
People might ask why I was not doing anything to prevent her from stealing my waifu? The answer is simple, she can't. Even if Artoria wanted to be treated as a man, she can't simply marry an innocent person who believed in Artoria.
Another reason was that King Leodegrance was our sponsor with the biggest support against Vortigern. If I do something irrational then it will affect our progress.
All of them know that as far as I am around, no one can even think of something so disgusting as to let two women marry each other.
"Fufu~ Sir Einar, you don't have to be formal. Why don't you call me 'Guin-chan' as you called me the first day of our meeting?" She chuckled and asked.
"Ah forget about it. I didn't know that you were a princess. Normally girls would troll around me to get my attention since I am so handsome and charming but you were different as to not react upon seeing my face so I just wanted to tease you a little bit." I said and coughed with a red face.
Yesterday, during our meeting with King Leodegrance at a table, she came to serve the tea but when she looked at me with an indifferent face unlike other girls, I decided to tease her a little.
"Kuhaha, what's your name, Miss beautiful blondie?"
"I am Guinevere. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too~. How about we have dinner this night, Guin-chan~?"
I was a little happy at that time since we got a permanent place to stay so I got carried away until I was reminded by Merlin that the person in front of me was THE Princess Guinevere and I just hit on the princess in front of King Leodegrance and Artoria. Yeah, that was an awkward moment.
Thanks to Merlin and Artoria, the matter didn't last long instead both I and Guinevere became friends. For the time being, I was advised to be her attendant mage responsible for teaching her a little magecraft and how to cook delicacies.
"Hmm hmm~ Sir Einar you are so funny but please call me Guin-chan, I like that name a lot. Being someone informal to me was a good experience. It gives me a sense of closeness." She smiled.
"Oi, oi, I told you not to fall for me. I told you that my heart is already stolen by beauty with no brains." I smirked and shook my head.
She stared at me for a moment before burst into laughter.
"Oh, Sir Einar, you are the most interesting person I have ever met. Don't worry I won't fall for you. It's a promise." She wiped a tear from her eyes and said.
"Then I will call you, Guin-chan but in return call me Brother Einar. After all, we both are close but people might misunderstand our relationship. Besides, I will also treat you like a little sister." I offered a suggestion.
You have to be careful as every step with royalties is judged by people. Servants in the castle could be called paparazzi of this era and if they saw you interacting with Princess or other royalty then it is just a matter of time before the word gets out destroying the public image of the princess.
She was a sincere girl and treated me like a good friend but what I liked her about most that she never once commented on my height. I still looked like a 12 years old brat yet she served with the utmost respect when she looked like a proper woman even if she was just 14 years old.
I didn't want to ruin her reputation because of me. I know my attitude is a bit casual so people might mistake us lovers.
"Deal, then Brother Einar, what would you be teaching me then?" She asked.
I nodded and pointed at the baker. We were in the kitchen of the castle since I was teaching the princess how to cook. I never showed my culinary skills to anyone outside the circle of our group since I wanted to be the only one to make dishes for Artoria. Guinevere wanted me to teach her cooking since she once tasted cookies I made and immediately become interested in cooking.
"Cake."
"Cake?"
"Yes, Cake. It is something that will be invented in the 13thcentury but because of my clairvoyance, you are going to witness such delicacy so soon." I nodded with pride.
"Wow~ Brother Einar is so cool. I am now really curious about this cake." She beamed a smile. She knows how to act like a princess and make others do her favors. Of course, I could have rejected her but I had no reason to do so as I didn't feel any kind of malice from her.
"Then pay close attention. This is also a matter of heart and soul. Don't try too hard and don't try to take it easy. Food is something that touches the heart of the one you are serving…" And I go on and on for 15 minutes before I start making the cake.
After I finished making a strawberry cake I saw Guinevere drooling before quickly wiping her mouth and blushed.
"Haha, try tasting it." I chucked and offer her a bite.
She nodded and took a bite.
"Mmmm~ It's so good~" She was jolted in pleasure and entered her own world.
That reaction was not new as I have seen some people even stripping their clothes.
After finishing the whole piece of cake without any care of the world, she came back to reality and saw my smug face.
"Please forgive my rudeness." She apologized with a red face.
I just chuckled and patted her head.
"Haha, it's no big deal. I told you that I am a passionate cook first before knight or mage." I smiled and said.
She nodded and then asked me if I could help her and made one by herself to which I agreed. She was able to make a tasty cake, unlike a certain eating waifu.
She asked me if she could let other taste the cake and went out with her servants.
I also followed her as I knew where she was going first.
I saw Artoria is a noble outfit walking in the hallway with Caliburn on her waist while female servants were watching her with glittering eyes. Although Artoria's gender was not a problem, she still looked like a charming prince with girlish features. There were very few males with charming looks since most of the males tend to be a knight and make their bodies muscular so males like Arthur and ma, were rare even though Arthur was a 'she'.
Guinevere went towards Artoria and offered Artoria a bite. Artoria took the bite and smiled praising Guinevere for her outstanding culinary skills. Guinevere smiled and after exchanging few words she went for her father's chamber.
"Sorry dear, but you will not get what you are looking for." I smiled like an evil mage. "According to the cake."
(AN: Guinevere looks like Europa from FGO. There was also some shit with her twin sister in most of the legends but her lore in Fate is different. This chapter is to convey that how MC treats Guinevere and their later interaction will be influenced by their sibling-like relationship. Sorry this isn't a harem story… or is it?)
