Because of Su Yu's quick battle,
Kenneth and Saber's master,
Tatsuji Omiya's battle was soon over.
"I have no reason to be your enemy," the man with dead eyes suddenly stopped running away, "Saber has already left.
Lancer won, right? "
"Oh, of course, a worm should look like a worm." Kenneth was very satisfied with the opponent's attitude of taking the initiative to admit defeat, there was a reserved smile on his mouth.
After a few sarcastic words, he left.
Until he left Einsteinberg Castle, when he thought of the expression on the man's face at that time,
Kenneth couldn't help but smile proudly.
"You really gave me a huge surprise.
Su Yu, "
He couldn't help but pat the girl on the shoulder, "Caster was also eliminated by you in one fell swoop.
In this way, only Rider, Archer, and Berserker are left … "
"Kenneth,"
"The Holy Grail's words," the girl suddenly interrupted him.
Is it really so omnipotent? "
Kenneth was stunned,
He turned his head to look at her, he hesitated,
For the first time seriously answered the question, "The reason why the Holy Grail is called the omnipotent wishing machine
Is because it contains a considerable amount of magic.
The death of every Heroic spirit is charged for the arrival of the Holy Grail. With such a huge amount of magic, it is reasonable to say that it can achieve almost anything, so it is called the omnipotent wishing machine. "
"I see," the girl's eyebrows showed a trace of obvious disappointment, but she continued to ask, "If you want to go back to another world, can it do it?"
Something seemed to have changed in that pair of black eyes that contained the myriad of stars in the night sky. Kenneth observed it seriously for a moment and still gave the real answer. "… I don't know. Magic is too profound. That is the truth that many magicians pursue for their entire lives. Even I am only pacing back and forth outside the door. I haven't been able to come into contact with its origin, much less be able to predict what kind of effects it can achieve."
"Ah …"
She let out a short sigh and stopped asking questions.
After walking in silence for a while, Kenneth hesitated for a long time. He couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone? Why do you want to go to another world?"
"That's right." The girl's voice was very calm, but in the depths of that calmness, there was a deep sense of confusion. "We are looking for someone, but …"
But she really wanted to see him again.
She wanted to ask him personally if he had seen through her hypocrisy and contradiction.
Did he already foresee her embarrassing appearance when her ideals collided with reality?
Did he already know that she had taken a fork in the road and could no longer turn back?
Su Yu stood in place and closed her eyes, as if she could ignore the real and fake world in front of her. When she came back to her senses, she had already disappeared from where she was. She didn't know where she had teleported to.
"…"
She looked around. She didn't recognize the scenery. It wasn't a busy place. The shops on both sides of the street were basically closed. Only the entrance of an underground bar was still faintly lit.
She remembered the hand holding the wine glass. The five fingers were well-proportioned and slender, and the shape of the joints was very beautiful. It was curved into a perfect position to hold the thin wine glass. It was even more beautiful than the hand models in the advertisements.
She sighed and walked towards the bar.
When she pushed the door open and entered, the bell hanging behind the door rang slightly. The person behind the bar made a sound of surprise and looked in the direction of the door.
Su Yu was also stunned when he stepped into the bar. The person wiping the glasses behind the bar, or rather, he shouldn't be called a person. He was wearing a bartender's uniform, but there was a thick black fog around his head. Only two parts that looked like his eyes emitted a sharp light.
80% of the people in this world had special abilities, including some non-human existences whose appearance changed due to the evolution of their abilities.
Thinking of the setting of this world, the expression on Su Yu's face relaxed a little. She calmly nodded to the black fog and sat at the most edge of the bar.
"… What do you want to drink?" The person hesitated for a moment and asked.
His voice was low and seemed to be quite pleasant to the ears. It reminded people of a middle-aged uncle with a serious face.
"I don't know what's good to drink," Su Yu looked down at the wine cabinet behind him, "Blue, give me a glass of blue wine."
In her vague memory, she didn't actually drink much. Every time she only tasted it, she had never tasted the taste of being drunk.
When the glass of translucent blue wine was served, Su Yu couldn't help but lie on the bar and look at the liquid in the glass through the dim light in the bar.
It was almost the same color as in her memory. It was crystal clear, translucent, like water that had not yet solidified at low temperature. It clearly had a soft light, but the feeling in her hand was bone-chilling.
It was the touch of blue on his earlobe.
She wasn't in a hurry to taste the wine. Su Yu's fingers moved back and forth on the glass as if she was playing a mysterious game with the light.
From the time she left until now, she had never been so aware that she missed that man as clearly as she did now.
Culolo.
Did this still count as liking him? But she had already woken up from the unconscious attachment.
She just wanted to ask him if he had already seen through all of this.
He expected all of her embarrassment and collapse, but didn't tell her and let her complacently walk on the wrong path.
Then what kind of ending did he want to see?
Really annoying, really annoying, that man.
She had clearly run away from him for a hundred and eight thousand meters, but her back seemed to be branded with his mark. She was stained by a spider's web once, and it couldn't be cleaned.
But she didn't like this feeling. She didn't like it at all.
Su Yu raised the glass in a fit of pique. She tilted her head back and drank the blue wine in one gulp. She didn't know what seasoning was used in the wine, but when it flowed down her throat, it felt like she had swallowed a mouthful of ice. The coldness went from her mouth to her stomach.
She put down the glass in a daze. The empty glass had returned to its transparent state, and it no longer had the soul-stirring blue color.
The coldness in her esophagus quickly dissipated and was replaced by a burning sensation. It burned all the way from her stomach to her esophagus. Even her heart seemed to be beating more intensely than before.
"Boss …" Su Yu spoke hesitantly.
"That blue color just now … Give me another glass."

When Phyllostachys Amoena came back, he immediately saw the figure lying on the bar counter.
It was an unfamiliar woman he had never seen before. Her exposed arms and shoulders were slightly slender, and she seemed to be young. Her smooth black hair fell behind her like a waterfall, covering half of her body.
"Black Mist, what's that?" He asked concisely.
"If I must say, she's a customer of the shop." Black Mist behind the bar counter looked a little troubled. "Just now, she ordered seven or eight glasses of blue wine in a row. Then, she sat there crying and laughing. Now that she's done, she's asleep."
Although she was noisy for a long time, her crying was actually not loud. She was sobbing softly like a newborn kitten. After a while, she squinted her eyes and laughed.
A good-looking person would look good no matter what expression she made. Even when she was drunk, she still looked cute.
"Hiss …" Phyllostachys Amoena made a disgusted sound. He walked to the woman and looked her up and down for a while. "Don't just let anyone in. Just leave her somewhere outside."
"Uh …" Black Mist made a suspicious sound of hesitation.
To tell the truth, he felt guilty for kicking such a beautiful girl out of his house.
"What? You like this girl?" Phyllostachys Amoena only hesitated for a moment before he turned to look at Black Mist. His eyes flashed with disdain under his gray hair. "Forget it. She's so troublesome. Don't make too much noise. I still need to rest."
"What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?" The black mist flickered unsteadily and returned to normal. "Let's leave her here for the night. After all, she walked into our shop openly. If we throw her out and she gets into trouble, it'll be troublesome if the police come looking for her."
Phyllostachys Amoena just pursed his lips in response to Black Mist's explanation. He bent his back and turned into the inner room of the bar.

The next day, Su Yu woke up from the pinewood-scented bar counter near noon.
What woke her up was the vibrating phone in her pocket. Su Yu took it out and answered the call without looking at the caller ID.
Two seconds later, the young man's voice came from the other end of the phone. "… Su Yu?"
"Ah …" Su Yu responded instinctively. She struggled to prop up her aching head and replied with a slightly sober voice, "Is this Akaji Jun? It's so early in the morning …"
"It's only ten minutes to eleven." The young man's voice was clear and pleasant. "You sound tired. What happened last night?"
So many things had happened. She killed two Heroic spirit players in one go. Kenneth was so happy that he praised her to the heavens. She even learned how to get drunk in the bar. She was amazing.
"Ah … Nothing," Su Yu replied with her nose sniffling. "Maybe I slept too late. What's up, Akaji Jun?"
The young man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, "… It's about the sports festival I mentioned last night."
"Tickets are required to enter the inner field of the sports festival. I still have a few tickets, but I may not be able to come out and give them to you on the day of the festival." Akaji paused for a moment. "So I want to ask if it's convenient for you to come to Xiong Ying this afternoon. I can give you the tickets during the lunch break."
So it was about that.
Although her body was so heavy that she didn't want to go anywhere, Su Yu still agreed. "Sure. Xiong Ying this afternoon, right? See you at the school gate."
After chatting with the young man for a while, Su Yu was able to hang up the phone.
She had to find something to do. She couldn't help but think of that man when she was wandering around aimlessly.
No matter how much she wanted to see him, one night was enough. She still had to use the rest of the time to look forward. So, she had to get busy so that she could forget those unrealistic thoughts as soon as possible.
However, her whole brain was in a dull pain, and her body was weak. Was this the feeling of a hangover?
Su Yu reached out and rubbed her temples. At this moment, the small door of the bar suddenly opened from the inside.
She looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out to be the bartender Black Mist, who she saw yesterday, and a man with short gray hair whom she had never seen before.
They must be the staff of this bar. Su Yu stood up and nodded to them. "I accidentally slept here last night. Sorry for the trouble."
However, these two people didn't throw her out when the bar was closed. Should she say that they were good people?
"… Tsk, I see." The gloomy man with short gray hair stared at her face for a long time in silence. Suddenly, he sighed inexplicably.
Black Mist ignored the man's sigh. Instead, he took a step forward and said, "You were so drunk yesterday that I couldn't wake you up no matter how hard I tried. I had no choice but to leave you here. If your body is fine, pay for the drinks."
"Ah, that's what I should do." Su Yu nodded. She took out the remaining money Kenneth had given her from her pocket. "How much is it in total?"
Black Mist seemed to have casually said a number. Su Yu didn't care too much. She waved her hand and gave out a stack of notes. Anyway, the money didn't actually belong to her. She didn't feel bad spending it.
After paying for the drinks, she turned to look at the clock hanging in the bar and asked, "Erm, can I ask how far is this place from Xiong Ying High School?"
If it wasn't far, she could go there without teleporting. She could see the scenery of the city. This way, there would be more places where she could teleport in the future.
"You mean Xiong Ying?" Unexpectedly, the one who answered her was the unfriendly short-haired man. "Xiong Ying High School's Xiong Ying?"
His repeated tone was a little strange. Su Yu nodded hesitantly. "Uh … Is there any other Xiong Ying?"
"Hehe, you're right. There's no other Xiong Ying." He suddenly laughed. One of his hands reached to his neck covered by his hair and scratched it. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to Su Yu with a smile. "If it's Xiong Ying High School, I know."
"Eh?" Faced with the man's sudden change in attitude, Su Yu hesitated.
The short-haired man suddenly walked over with a smile and spread his hands. "I know Xiong Ying High School very well. Are you going to Xiong Ying High School now? What are you going to Xiong Ying for?"
He suddenly became familiar with Su Yu and sat on the bar chair next to her. He even put one hand on her shoulder.
"Uh … I have a friend there. I have something to talk to him about." Su Yu shrank back uncomfortably and answered simply. "So … Is there a problem?"
Was Xiong Ying a place where she couldn't go?
"No problem. Of course, there's no problem." The smile on the man's face was still strange. "It's a little far from here. But if you take the Shinkansen, you'll get there quickly. Or take …"
He listed five or six transportation options at once. Su Yu's brain was in a mess. She quickly waved her hand to stop him. "Okay, okay, I got it. Thank you for your advice. I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave first."
"Are you in such a hurry to leave?" This time, the man directly grabbed her wrist, but strangely raised his little finger. "Let's get to know each other. My name is Phyllostachys Amoena."
What was this man trying to do?
Su Yu, who was suddenly treated with enthusiasm, was confused. Her head was still a little dizzy, and the hangover was still there. At this time, she was eager to rush outside to take a breath of fresh air. But in order to get rid of this man who was talking to himself, she simply introduced herself. "Su Yu, my name."
After a round of inexplicable enthusiastic greetings, Phyllostachys Amoena was satisfied with her contact information. Only then did he let her go.
After finally leaving the underground bar, Su Yu stood on the street and sighed.
Her body still felt heavy. She remembered that she only drank a few glasses of alcohol, but now she felt like her whole brain was filled with alcohol.
After meeting Akaji Jun, she should find a place to rest.
She followed Phyllostachys Amoena's description and found the entrance of Xiong Ying. From afar, she saw a red-haired young man standing by the entrance, waiting for her.
Su Yu took a deep breath and quickly walked forward. "Akaji Jun, did you wait long? I'm sorry, I've never been here before …"
Her words were interrupted by the young man's sudden approach.
Chi Si lifted the hair on her forehead with one hand and stepped forward to put it on her forehead. The boy's face was suddenly very close, and even the long eyelashes could be counted clearly. Looking closer, the pair of golden-red eyes looked even more gorgeous, with the noble feeling of a Persian cat, but now there was a storm gradually gathering inside.
"You're sick, Su Yu."
