Gentleman's Night Canteen

"I have troubled you, Gao Wen, but put the money for dinner to my account. You can drink it freely. The wine made by Lan Meng is the most delicious wine I have ever tasted."

Artoria took the initiative to offer a treat, but Gao Wen was even more embarrassed. After all, he had become a knight under the opponent's command after he formally swore his allegiance half a year ago. As a knight, how could he let his lord treat him to a drink?

But it's a pity that before he could refuse, Merlin waved his hand.

"Don't worry, the Lanmeng store is different from ordinary stores. In addition to the normal coins, it also collects prey, and the price is affordable. Alta also has some 'deposits' here in Lanmeng. Let it go and eat it, just treat it as It's a hush money~"

Gao Wen seemed a little dumbfounded about Merlin's 'hush money', because even if there was no so-called 'hush money', he would not be able to tell the second person about tonight's events. It is inevitable that the national teacher will be at risk if he leaves the castle alone. If he is ambushed... the consequences will be disastrous.

But since the other party brought him to such a secret place, it is enough to show the other party's trust in him, even if it is to respond to the trust of the lord, he will never tell the fourth person besides them!

But under the current situation, he probably couldn't refuse.

"Then... I'll be disrespectful, but it's better to drink less alcohol, after all, it's really not good to go back with alcohol smell..."

Gao Wen discovered that Arturia and Merlin were an accident, but when Arturia took off the hood, things became easier. The time spent on the road was the time wasted by him instructing his subordinates and handing over the command.

According to his original plan, after having supper with Al and Merlin, he would go back to continue patrolling, so naturally he didn't want to smell of alcohol on his body.

On the contrary, Lan Meng collected some information based on Gao Wen's short communication with Artoria and Merlin.

Al usually came to the store, no matter whether he was drinking or eating meat, he seldom mentioned his work. At most, he said a few more words when he was "elected into the Knights". Others were able to share the joy, so they couldn't help but say a few more words to Lan Meng.

But now it seems that Al should be more than just "selected into the Knights".

Perhaps it was because Lan Meng looked at Gao Wen and Arturia with a strange gaze that caught their attention, and Al looked at Lan Meng with a strange expression.

"Lan Meng, what's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing, just Al, you told me before that you 'successfully became a knight and joined the knight order', but now it seems that you are not as simple as a knight, right?"

As the first customer to visit Lanmeng Restaurant after its opening, and the two of them are not introverted, they can already be regarded as friends. Lan Mei is naturally more casual than ordinary regular customers when talking, But what Lan Meng didn't notice was that when he said these words, the other party's side unconsciously froze for a moment.

Not only that, but Gao Wen couldn't help being a little nervous.

'not good!Could it be that I just said something wrong that caused His Majesty's identity to be exposed?His Majesty said that he has always concealed his identity...'

Lan Meng, who didn't notice the eyes of the other people at all, continued talking on his own.

"If I'm not mistaken, Al, you should be the captain of the Knights or something similar, right? By the way, if I tell Al your name when I go shopping, can I get a discount?"

Naturally, Lan Meng doesn't lack the discounts for shopping. It's just a joke, but he didn't know that after he finished speaking, Al and Gao Wen were relieved by coincidence, and Artoria even went along with it. Follow Lan Meng's words and continue.

"Did you find out, Lan Meng? I'm sorry, mainly because I don't know how to tell you, Lan Meng, and I'm mainly worried that Lan Meng will have any scruples after you know my identity..."

Arturia's words were true, but Lan Meng didn't seem to notice what the other party was worried about. Instead, she patted the other party's shoulder directly as usual.

"Don't worry, as long as Al, you don't need me to salute when I see you, then no matter what your status is, I won't care, even if you will be promoted to the so-called 'Chief of the Knights' one day~"

Lan Meng really doesn't care about identity, after all, who hasn't he met?

He has met several gods alone, and the so-called identities don’t matter to him at all. He cares more about his friend ‘Al’ than those boring things. If possible, he hopes that the friendship between the two parties will not be because of the so-called degenerate status.

Now it seems that this problem should not exist. After all, the two have been together for almost half a year. Whether the other party was just a "knight servant" when they met for the first time, or the attitude towards him now has not changed at all. It is obvious that the other party is himself. He doesn't care too much about his identity.

Lan Meng said this more to complain, but what he didn't know was that his unintentional words made Gao Wen very uncomfortable.

Although his rationality told him not to talk nonsense, he still couldn't help thinking, "If Lan Meng knew the identity of His Highness, would he still be so calm?"

But fortunately, his rationality still helped him suppress this strange thought.

Looking at Gao Wen with a subtle expression, Lan Meng, who didn't know what the other party was really thinking, thought it was just because of Lan Meng's words that the other party felt a little strange, so he patted him on the shoulder in the same way.

"If I'm not wrong, Gao Wen, you should be Al's subordinate, right? Then I'll give you a 9% discount if you come to the store in the future~ Remember to introduce other companions!"

Although he felt that Lan Meng had misunderstood him, at least Lan Meng was right, he was indeed the other party's subordinate, so he smiled and nodded in front of Lan Meng's enthusiasm.

But at the same time, he couldn't help complaining in his heart that he would not disclose information about this store casually.

But what I have to say is that they were a little unfamiliar just now, but because of Al's 'bond', the two sides quickly became familiar with each other.

Gao Wen has a gentle personality and is very friendly to ordinary people. Now that Lan Meng has the status of "His Majesty's friend", the two sides naturally became acquainted quickly. , the dinner party will begin immediately.

Because tonight's 'dinner' was already expected, Lan Meng had already adjusted the table visits through the 'store system' when she took Kamio Kansuzu and the others to the star base.

Put together the rectangular tables in pairs, the table that originally could only seat four people can now seat six people, plus how many people can be seated at the bar, everyone in the store also finds their own familiar people and divides them into several area.

Lily, Sawamura Eiri, Ryza, and Kamio mother and daughter formed a girl group and sat at a table that was assembled together.

As for the other men, they sat in a row in front of the bar and waited for Blue Dream's food...

Chapter 30 What's the point of having only one eye for my sister?

Although everyone has their favorite food, they also have confidence in Lan Meng's craftsmanship, so they simply said that the dinner menu will be handed over to Lan Meng.

As for Gao Wen, who is not familiar with Lan Meng, he also chose to follow the trend because of Artoria.

The first thing to serve is naturally the drink.

In the male group, except for Lelouch, who refused the butter beer on the grounds that 'my sister is still waiting for me at home, and I don't want to go back with a smell of alcohol', all the others let Blue Dream go.

As for the other side, it’s all fruit juice. After all, even Haruko Kamio doesn’t like to drink in front of a group of children as an adult. Meng told her that the butter beer in her shop might be different from what the other party usually drank, and she was still a little curious as an alcoholic drink.

But after Ying Lili whispered something in her ear, Lily blushed and asked Lan Meng if she could buy a bottle of butter beer to take home.

Naturally, Blue Dream would not refuse.

Because everyone didn't order butter beer, Lysa, who was quite interested in it, didn't mention it at all, but she secretly decided to find Lan Meng to drink alone someday when she had time.

In the end, the cat and beast jumped to the table with the sealed jar on its back, and Rotom filled it up for everyone in turn.

Originally, this kind of thing should not be done by Maomaowon, after all, she can only jump and jump now, but in order to satisfy Maomaowon's idea of ​​helping, Lan Meng specially changed the container, and even left some fruit when making the juice. The slag is inside.

The pomace of different fruits is paired with another kind of juice to have a special flavor. The cat, cat, and beast fixed the jar with its tail and bounced around, which just helped everyone shake the juice evenly.

And Mao Mao Beast, who helped Lan Meng, also raised his head and looked proud at this time.

As for the other side, although the atmosphere is not as relaxed as the women's meeting here, everyone chats casually about daily things.

For example, Merlin who came last asked about Snape and Lily's situation with a strange smile on his face.

However, unlike Emiya Shirou who looked helplessly at the innocent face, although he didn't seem to be doing anything right, he actually had a high EQ and naturally realized that the reason why Snape took so long this time probably was because of blue. Because of those 'suggestions' of the dream, but he smiled brighter and brighter.

After all, unlike Emiya Shirou who simply wanted to help, Merlin's original intention of making suggestions was to eat melons, and now the melons... are delicious.

If it is said that Snape's youthful youth made everyone smile knowingly or simply auntie, then when Emiya Shirou complained that Rin was getting more and more attached to himself recently, everyone had different expressions.

After all, all the men present were still single, especially Emiya Shirou's expression of helplessness and reluctance made people feel as if they were being forced into dog food.

Even Al, who doesn't care about emotional issues, unconsciously slows down the speed of his meat cutting.

Lan Meng, who didn't want to be stuffed with dog food anymore, simply brought the topic to Al. According to Lan Meng, Al had concealed them for so long. Now that it was exposed, he would make up all the debts he owed.

If it was an ordinary king, it would probably start to make up things, but Al was very calm. After all, he often stayed with the Knights every day besides dealing with government affairs, although as the head of the Knights, he seldom interacted with them due to government delays. Perform daily tasks together, but the number of times that everyone who leads the knights crusades against various monsters is not a lot.

If it is said that Al's ability to handle government affairs is only understood by those who are really in charge of a certain place, then the bravery of the various monsters that Al led the Knights to fight against is the most intuitive expression.

Al was the keynote speaker, while Gawain and Merlin occasionally added a few words, and the adventures were revealed to everyone.

Shirou Emiya listened to the story silently while holding a glass of wine.

For him who has been in the hail of bullets for so many years, fighting has long been integrated into his daily life. In addition, although he needs to be responsible for commanding on the battlefield, as a "magician", he belongs to the standard. Al's experience meant little to him as a lone wolf.

But it's also good to relax and listen to a story once in a while.

On the contrary, Lelouch listened very seriously, and even asked a few questions from time to time as if he was flattering him.

If it is said that things like "wizard" and "alchemy" were just fragmented information obtained through eavesdropping, then Al's words just now completely lifted the veil of belonging to another world for him.

Finally, as Al's story came to an end, he found a chance to interject when he was eating meat.

"Mr. Merlin, do you know that there is a way to restore people's eyesight?"

Although he is not very familiar with Lelouch, but Lelouch has been very polite since they met, and Merlin doesn't like the appearance of a good baby, so after hearing the other party's question, he didn't pretend to be stupid and avoid it like before. On the contrary, after a brief daze, he began to think carefully.

After hearing Lelouch's words, the others instinctively lowered their voices and silently paid attention to the communication between the two.

"Recover vision? It depends on the situation, right?"

Merlin said that he looked at Lelouch in general, the meaning was very simple, and asked Lelouch to briefly explain the situation in which she wanted to restore her eyesight.

Lelouch was silent for a while, and he didn't know whether he was recalling or thinking about how to say so as not to reveal his information, but finally he spoke.

"The person I want to recover my eyesight is my sister. She had normal eyesight when she was a child, but then she and our mother were involved in an accident. Nunnally, she witnessed the process of her mother's death. Lost her eyesight... Later I took her to do a lot of examinations, the doctors said her eyes were normal, but she couldn't recover her eyesight, and the doctors thought it was blindness caused by psychological factors..."

Lelouch retired his mother, who was actually the princess, and her death may be related to the intrauterine struggle, but the main process was kept, and when he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with anticipation.

Among them, Merlin was still thinking about it, but Snape, who had established a preliminary friendship with Lelouch because of "playing chess" before, was the first to speak.

"Based on my potion knowledge, I'm afraid I can't prepare the relevant potions. If it's just a simple limb injury, I can solve it. Even if it's the eyes, I'm confident that I can make them as long as I don't get injured by some 'magic animal'." But I can't do anything about this kind of blindness caused by psychological reasons, maybe the professional therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness can help...but they probably won't accept ordinary patients, right?"

Although Snape has confirmed that Lelouch should not be a wizard in the traditional sense according to the previous exchange, but in fact, not all the people in Knockturn Alley or Diagon Alley are ordinary wizards, and some of them are accidental. The reason for the lucky ones involved in the wizarding world, the other party should probably be in a similar situation, but after realizing the uniqueness of Lanmeng's shop, he thinks that since Lelouch is here, he doesn't mind giving the other party some help, but it's a pity One time was indeed beyond his capacity.

Lelouch was a little disappointed by Snape's answer, but he still looked expectantly at Emiya Shirou and Merlin.

As for why the two of them?

It's very simple, because at this time Al is like a squirrel, his mouth is full of meat and mashed potatoes, and he is constantly chewing.

Obviously, Artoria, who is only good at swordsmanship, can't help her with such things, so she might as well take this opportunity to eat more.

As for Gawain, it's the same. He has more experience traveling around as a knight than Artoria, but he really doesn't know much about related matters. She glanced at the empty mashed potato bowl in front of Artoria.

Compared to the two knights, Merlin and Emiya Shirou were really thinking about the problem.

It was Merlin who spoke first, and he rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"Psychological factors... are really troublesome. If you met me at that time, you can seal that memory directly. If you lose the incentive, your eyesight should recover, right?"

Merlin's words caused Lelouch to show an expression of ecstasy at first, but then he felt a little disappointed.

Because he heard the 'precondition' that the other party said, that is, he was responsible for handling it at that time. Now that after so many years, he doesn't know how many related memories there are. Even if Merlin is willing to help seal Nunnally's memory, Lu Lu Xiu would not agree, after all, who knows if there will be strange side effects?

He couldn't help but look at his last hope, Emiya Shiro.

Emiya Shiro was also a little helpless about this.

"The only way I can think of is to transplant the 'magic eye'."

"Magic eye??"

magic eye! !

Most of the people present showed puzzled expressions, but only Lelouch felt a 'thump' in his heart.

And Emiya Shiro didn't hide it but continued to explain.

"Professional explanations are too troublesome, so I'll just say the conclusion. The magic eye is a kind of eye with special power. It can be divided into congenital and acquired, but no matter what kind of they are, they all have extremely special power. With the help of magic The power of the eye may be able to restore vision to your younger sister, but the magic eye itself is very rare, and the owner will not show it at will to avoid trouble. There are almost no normal channels to obtain the magic eye. Technology, I have acquaintances who can help with this, but as I said, 'magic eyes' are too rare, let alone stealing someone else's magic eyes..."

At the end, Shirou Emiya shook his head involuntarily.

But what he didn't know was that what he said made Lelouch full of thoughts.

He suspects that his 'geass' may be the 'magic eye' as Emiya Shiro said, after all, people in different places may call the same Tongxi differently.

But he didn't know whether he should tell the other party.

One is because Emiya Shiro also said that the "magic eye" is very rare, and if he says it, it may cause unnecessary trouble, and he still needs to continue to explore;

The second reason is that he can't lose 'geass' for the time being, not because he is greedy for the ability of geass, he intends to use geass to create a world where his sister can laugh at ease, and then ask Emiya Shiro to take off his eyes and help his sister replace them.

Although he can only give the other party one eye, but if he can let his sister see the world, then it is good news.

Lelouch, who made up his mind, also looked at Emiya Shirou with a serious face.

"Mr. Shirou, can you tell me more about the 'magic eye'? I will try to find it!"

Seeing Lelouch who was still smiling before suddenly showing a serious expression, Emiya Shirou couldn't help being taken aback, obviously he didn't expect Lelouch to have such a side...

Chapter 31 'Exercise after meals'

Lelouch's figure was too slender compared to everyone present. No matter who saw him, he would not think that he was a warrior, but his firm gaze made everyone who noticed him realize that he was a fighter. There is one thing.

The young man in front of him may not be a qualified fighter, but he is definitely a qualified elder brother who is determined to do everything for his sister.

This kind of pure determination undoubtedly resonated with Al and Gao Wen.

As knights, they admired Lelouch's determination very much.

"Although I don't quite understand this, I will help Lelouch to keep an eye out for you."

"I will too."

Although he felt that Artoria and Gawain could not help him much, Lelouch still nodded and thanked them for their attitude.

With Arturia and Gao Wen starting, the atmosphere at the scene became even more heated.

Among them, Merlin, who has a more eccentric or elusive personality, even raised the cup in front of him to indicate that everyone should have a drink.
