Chapter 25 banquet preparation

While Liuli was flying to the castle, she couldn't wait to start asking questions to Pachuli.

On the other side, Pachuli is set up in the magic workshop of Liudong Temple.

"Sister Pachuli, there is a banquet in the castle. Are you not going to attend?"

Liuli's voice suddenly appeared in the game where she was indulging in the virtual reality, holding a giant sword and resisting the attack of the giant dragon.

"I won't go, Liuli, go by yourself." Pachuli replied, but his movements were not slow at all. Taking advantage of the gap exposed after the dragon launched its attack, he hit the dragon's reverse scale and slashed the dragon to the ground. "As long as I defeated this frost dragon that only refreshed one in a day, I can gather all the materials to make the legendary ultimate hunter suit."

"Well... OK... But Sister Pachuli, you have to pay attention to the game time and don't play it for too long..." Liuli had no choice but to say in a helpless tone for such Sister Pachuli.

"By the way, Sister Pachuli." When Pachuli defeated the dragon and began to harvest the spoils, Liuli asked again, "Just just now, I heard Sister Brenheld and Rider Nanali mention "Sisters" and "Time for us". I remember Sister Pachuli, you seem to have mentioned..."

"Yeah?" Pachuli made a somewhat surprised voice, "Liuli, don't you even know this? The heroes should have been told about the welfare information of this 'Holy Grail War'?"

"Welfare? What kind of welfare...? I thought... it was because I died there... that I came back to this world... and became a hero who is still confused about it..."

"Ah? How could this be the case?" Pachuli said in surprise, "Well... I guess, it must be the irresponsible old man in the gap... the good thing done by the gap girl! She is taking revenge on her public! I must ask her carefully when I go back!"

"Sister Paqiuli... What do you say again... I can't understand..." Liuli said helplessly, "Who is the girl in the gap? It seems that she will come here with me, and she looks like she has something to do with me?"

"Ah..." Pachuli covered her mouth suddenly, and then found that it was not helpful. "I accidentally let my mouth go... Liuli, don't continue to ask this 'gap girl', okay? When the time is right, she will naturally appear in front of you."

"Okay... Sister Pachuli." Looking at Sister Pachuli's embarrassment, Liuli did not continue to explore, "So, Sister Pachuli, can you answer me your previous question?"

"Well, this information should have been told by that pair of sisters... But it seems that something might be wrong in the middle. I have to hurry to throw Liuli directly into my summoning array." Pachuli put away all the materials that could be plundered on the dragon and continued, "Where should I start..."

"Liuli, you already know, the purpose of the 'Holy Grail War' was originally created?"

"Well, the original purpose of the 'Holy Grail War' was to bypass the obstacles of 'suppression' and enable magicians to reach the 'root'. It is said that 'root' records all the information of the past, present and even future in this world, and also records the 'truth' of the whole world." Liuli simply said the information she knew.

"Well, it's probably what Liuli looks like. However, Liuli has omitted too much, and has not mentioned the planetary will Gaia and the collective will of human beings." Pachuli said, "If the two are combined, they are the 'roots' of this world. Then, for reasons that no one can understand, these two wills have the 'personality' as human women."

"Can't it be that 'sister' means..." Liuli said with some uncertainty after hearing what Paqiuli said.

"That's right, it's Gaia, the "sister" of the planet, and Alaya, the "sister" of the human collective will." Pachuli said, "I believe that no matter what the reason is, no one will hope that others will forcefully strip their clothes and see what's inside?"

Finally, Sister Pachuli used a possible inappropriate metaphor.

"So that's the case..." Liuli nodded and continued, "They are the gods of this world..."

"Yeah, that's right, they are the real gods in this world. And heroic spirits are the tools they use to protect this world."

"Then... why...we... appear here as heroic spirits?" Liuli asked.

"From the mouth of 'master', you probably already know the history of the development of this world, right?" Pachuli said, "Humans have successfully mastered the entire earth with the power of technology. In this way, the 'god' is no longer needed. Originally, the two sisters were going to fall asleep. However, the establishment of this 'Tunggi City' awakened the two sisters again."

"So, wouldn't Gaia and Alaya just ignore the masters' summons?"

"It's not like this, Liuli." Pachuli said, "As gods, we must abide by the 'rules'. Although the 'Holy Grail War' aims to make the sisters uncomfortable, the establishment of the entire 'Holy Grail War' is completely in line with the 'rules'. Therefore, they had to respond to the call and send heroic spirits - of course, it should be emphasized here that the gods in each world are different - however, after the gods fell asleep, the heroic spirits who originally belonged to the sisters gradually disappeared.

Now, it can be said that only Nero is left. At this time, the sisters had to ask for help from other worlds and find people who can become 'heroes' and are willing to become 'heroes'. Of course, in this way, it can be said that 'heroes' who come to "save the place", how could they not give some benefits? Specifically, the 'heroes', when they return to their own world after the end of this game called 'Holy Grail War', the difference between the time when they return to their own world and leaving their own world is only one second."

"No wonder it's 'time for us'..." Liuli nodded, and then suddenly discovered a part of Pachuli's words, "Sister Pachuli, can I...can I also return to my own world?"

"..." Pachuli was silent for a moment, "For various reasons... Liuli... it is impossible for you to return to 'any world belonging to you'..."

"If it's 'foreign'...that's it, do I still have hope of going back? Is that true, Sister Pachuli?"

"Maybe...but, Liuli, I want to remind you... the parallel world is endless... Even if it looks exactly the same, it may be a completely different world."

"As long as I haven't really died, I will not give up on hope." Liuli said in a firm tone.

"Sure enough, although it is a little different... But in the most important place, you are still yourself..." Pachuli said this last sentence just silently in her heart.

－－－fate/staynight－－－

When Liuli came to the castle, Alice happened to settle Nero with some snacks and was about to leave the magnificent restaurant.

"Sister Alice, are you going to the kitchen?" Liuli asked.

"Ah, it's Little Sister Liuli." Alice, who was wearing an apron, seemed full of motherhood. "Is there anything wrong? Do you want to eat something special?"

"Well... Sister Alice, I want to ask if I can teach me how to use the kitchen of this world. I suddenly want to cook~" Liuli replied.

"So, does Little Sister Liuli still know how to cook?" Alice said with a smile, "Actually, if you want to cook by yourself, the kitchen looks not much different from thousands of years ago. Go to the kitchen and you will know it. Also, I am looking forward to the cooking you made by Little Sister Liuli~"

"Well, thank you Sister Alice!"

When you come to the kitchen in the castle, although everything is full of sci-fi atmosphere. However, after careful observation, you will find that in fact, there is not much change in principle.

"Well, in fact, in general, we use the 'automatic cooking system' on the other side, or simply use a simpler 'food manufacturing system'. Few people use such a handmade kitchen." Alice introduced the equipment in the kitchen. "At the banquets these days, most of the food is also provided by the 'automatic cooking system' and 'food manufacturing system'. After all, the speed of cooking by hand is indeed too slow."

"Well... I really can see how to use it with a little look..." Liuli looked at the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, "Sister Alice, do you still have an apron?"

"Some." Alice took out a slightly smaller apron from the closet next to it and handed it to Liuli. "Also, Liuli's little sister, the ingredients are all here. If you lack any ingredients, you can also use the 'food manufacturing system' to make it. Although it feels like the dishes made with this synthetic ingredients taste a bit worse than natural ingredients."

"Well...eggs, sugar, flour...are many kinds of fruits...fresh milk...cream...chocolate..." Liuli opened the food preservation box using space technology and saw a lot of fresh ingredients, "Well...is almost enough~"

"Does Little Sister Liuli want to make dessert?"

"Well... it's a little memory."

"Well, I'm looking forward to the taste of this memory."

"By the way, Sister Alice, have you ever eaten a sensation in Heyi? Are you used to that taste?" asked Liuli, who was choosing ingredients.

"Well, that country has left too little things in the midst of a disaster..." Alice said, "So, I have never tried the dishes there. However, I believe that Sister Yiwen Jielin will be very happy."

Liuli and Alice chatted relaxedly while preparing for the banquet.
