When Vermillion arrived at the living room, the dining table was filled with delicious food.
For breakfast, it is very luxurious.
In addition to the food, Vermillion's eyes were also on Artoria. There he saw Artoria, who was gazing enthusiastically at the abundant food.
When Artoria saw her Master's arrival, her cheeks immediately puffed up in a frown, "Really, why are you late? Delaying meals during the march is taboo, Master."
"Haha, please forgive me, Artoria." Seeing Artoria's cute pouting expression, Vermillion was amused while apologizing.
"Actually, you don't have to wait for me. If you want to eat, then eat, I can ask Emiya to prepare food for you in advance if you want." Vermillion said.
"Bwahaha! My friend, if Minamoto hadn't stopped her, she would have eaten long ago." Gilgamesh said while lying down on the long sofa.
"Minamoto is adamant to wait for your arrival, she doesn't even hesitate to draw her sword if anyone dares to touch the food first."
"For me, it doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry anyway. As a friend, it's my duty to wait for you to come."
Hearing this information, Vermillion immediately looked at Minamoto with a surprised look.
"My dear, say ah~" Picking up the chopsticks, Minamoto wanted to feed her beloved with food.
Seeing Minamoto wanted to treat him like a child, Vermillion himself did not refuse; after all, Minamoto really wanted to spoil him; it's her character. Smiling, he caught Minamoto's food.
"Minamoto, you really don't need to serve me like this, you know." Vermillion said after swallowing the delicious food.
Minamoto's hand suddenly stopped mid-air as she was about to give him a second bite.
"Honey, do you hate me? Wooo~" Tears began to gather at the corners of Minamoto's eyes.
"No, of course not, how could I hate you? You are my favorite partner." Vermillion hurriedly comforted her. At the same time, he gave up on advising Minamoto.
"But, Minamoto, when breakfast ready, don't wait for me anymore if I'm late."
"You and the others can eat first. After all, we have a friend with a big appetite." While telling Minamoto, Vermillion deliberately glanced at Artoria, who was currently eating voraciously.
"As long as it is your wish, then I will comply~" Minamoto nodded happily, agreeing to all the wishes of the man she loved so much.
After breakfast, Vermillion decided to take a walk outside the castle with Semiramis, who would follow him secretly.
Minamoto initially wanted to go with him, but for the success of Vermillion's plan, Minamoto held back.
"Semiramis." Vermillion nodded towards Semiramis, giving her the signal.
Answering with a slight nod, Semiramis' figure slowly became transparent.
'Having only been gone for a day, this place has recovered as well as undergone a very significant change.' Vermillion murmured while whistling happily.
The island previously damaged by Musashi's battle against the island's representatives has now been repaired thanks to Kratos' Amulet of Uroborus.
When his crew first set foot on the island, the inhabitants often fought. But that's no longer the case, thanks to the changes enacted by Drake.
Although the tradition of dueling is still maintained, the duel terms have been substantially overhauled.
"Sir Vermillion, I finally found you!" A familiar voice suddenly called out from behind as Vermillion wandered the city leisurely.
'Hmm? Has the prey been lured?' Vermillion muttered. The corners of his mouth turned up.
"Cally? Do you have other business with me?" Looking at Kalifa, who was running towards him excitedly, Vermillion pretended to be confused.
To avoid making Kalifa suspicious, he still called her by her fake name.
Once close, Kalifa stopped running while pretending to be tired.
"Hah~ I finally get to meet you, Sir Vermillion." Kalifa said enthusiastically while holding both of the man's hands.
"I have heard the news that this island has now under your rule."
"I have a lot of questions I want to ask you, can I interview you one more time?"
"I don't mind being interviewed, but you must know my conditions, right?" Vermillion smiled as he winked, pretending to be an asshole.
"As long as you're willing to pay the interview fee, I'll agree to your interview. After all, I quite like you, haha."
"Great!" Kalifa pretended to be happy.
"Actually we have prepared the fee, it's on our editor-in-chief hand now."
"If possible, can you go to the editor-in-chief's place with me? This way we can pay you immediately after the interview."
"Don't worry, sir, the reward will definitely satisfy you."
'If I did not know your true identity, I might have been deceived by you, Kalifa.' Vermillion silently praised the acting of this beautiful young lady.
"Hmm, forget it then. Right now I want to look around my new territory. I don't have time to go to your place." Vermillion refused calmly.
After subtly refusing, Vermillion wanted to let go of the hand that was tightly held by Kalifa.
