I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Shinji is a royal chef. If calculated in terms of favorability, his favorability towards Arturia is above 80.

Because of Shinji's different performance from other magicians, his remarks at the King's Banquet, and Scathach's unintentional intervention at the end, Artoria's favorability towards Shinji has remained at a fairly high level, almost 70.

With such a foundation, the communication between Shenji and Artoria was so smooth. The two seemed to hit it off at first sight, and they seemed to be old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They lost track of time as soon as they chatted.

The two talked a lot.

For example, your body has clearly been solidified by the "Sword in the Stone" and the "Sword of Oath of Victory". When you entered Avalon, you were still a girl who was 1.54 meters tall. Why are you now 1.73 meters tall and 1.5 meters tall? Over a hundred royal sisters appear?

Answer: Merlin is causing trouble. The Sword in the Stone was originally created by Merlin, and solidifying Arturia's body was also Merlin's masterpiece. He could solidify or undo it. After receiving the message of restraint, and before responding to Shinji's call, Merlin asked Arturia if she wanted to see what she would look like when she grew up. Arturia had already relieved herself of her responsibilities as a king, so there was no need to pretend to be a man. In addition, she was curious about what she would become, so she agreed.

So, Merlin cast a magic spell on Arturia, temporarily changing Arturia's form, which is what Shinji saw in front of him - the Quilt King who never understood people's hearts (the more he traveled, the less he traveled), into the one who understood people's hearts. People's hearts are "white-gunned" and "Northern Hemisphere" (the more they travel, the less they travel).

By the way, Artoria's extremely revealing outfit was also Merlin's masterpiece - of course he didn't design it from scratch, but changed the inner lining of Arturia's outfit from Saber's agency. That inner lining was naturally suitable for a girl who was only 1.5 meters tall, but it couldn't be worn on a lady who was 1.73 meters tall. Therefore, Merlin made a few holes in the areas that could not be wrapped, and a set of extremely tempting clothes was born. Of course, the extremely tight and airtight outer armor is also used to create a sharp contrast and give people the strongest visual impact.

Note: The Servant's combat suit is woven with its own magic power, so there is no need to worry about the armor directly rubbing against the skin.

What's interesting is that Artoria's natural instincts about men and women didn't realize the lethality of this suit on men, which is quite grateful to Merlin.

Regarding such behavior of deceiving an innocent girl, Shenji did not hesitate to expose it and said righteously: "Merlin is indeed an old gangster. If you have the chance, you must beat him up."

Such an upright and awe-inspiring approach was highly praised by Arturia, but she didn't know that the guy in front of her, whom she regarded as a good Master, still had unspoken words hidden in the heart of her other half - "Although I don't want to admit it, Merlin You old gangster did it really beautifully."

For example, what did Shinji do in the Holy Grail War that changed the fate of Artoria?

In fact, he didn't do anything. He just talked a lot, freed Lancelot, let Lancelot talk again, and finally used Gilgamesh's pride to successfully kill this most terrifying enemy.

As for why Shinji knows Arturia so well. Shenji directly recommended it to his master, Scathach. Although this immortal queen is outside the world, she can observe the situation in the world, and nothing she sees is strange.

However, Shenji did not deny his efforts. After all, Scathach's style was there. Shenji would not ask for it, and Scathach would not take the initiative to interfere in the fate of others - the will to fight was burning, except when the blood was high.

Later, Artoria asked about the fate of Shinji's other followers. In that Holy Grail War, except for the caster she killed with her own hands and the assassin she killed with her own hands, she did not see how the other servants died, so she could only rely on guesswork.

Shinji didn't hide anything, he told everything.

Lancer Diarmuid died in a fair duel with Scathach.

Rider Iskandar was defeated and died in a one-on-one duel with Archer Gilgamesh.

Arturia already knew the outcome of Archer Gilgamesh and Berserker Lancelot, and Shinji described the exciting and thrilling battle in detail.

When it was told that Lancelot was pierced by several Noble Phantasms, but still desperately used the trick "Breaking All Bindings and Overweight Lake Light" to die with Gilgamesh, Arturia's emotions fluctuated violently and almost lost control.

She admired Lancelot's bravery.

She was proud of Lancelot's loyalty.

He is still the flower of knights, still the first knight, and still the close friend she is familiar with.

When Arturia returned to calm, the two people who had known each other for a long time tacitly agreed not to mention the past and shifted the topic to the present.

Shinji asked: "Do you have any wishes that you want to come true? Arturia."

Artoria shook his head: "No, I have no desire to place my hope on the Holy Grail. This time I just want to fulfill my duties as an observer."

"What responsibilities?"

"Observe this Holy Grail War. This Holy Grail War has many uncertain factors. My task is to judge whether it will cause major harm to the planet and mankind."

"The planet and human beings, the two major inhibitory forces are paying attention?" Shen Er's expression changed slightly. It couldn't be because of the intrusion of his own time traveler. The more I think about it, the more likely it is, otherwise there would be no need to specially send the observer to myself.

"Yes." Arturia nodded, "So, Master——"

"Just call me Shinji."

"Okay, Shinji, I need your help."

"How to help?"

"I need to collect information on every Master and Servant in this Holy Grail War and observe them. I know this is difficult, but I still hope you can help me."

Arturia lowered her head and solemnly got rid of it, completely unaware of how tempting it was to do such a thing as a royal sister, especially the whiteness on her chest that could be breathed out at any time, which made people even more imaginative.

Shenji moved his gaze to the ceiling, not looking at the place that understands people's hearts the most, and said softly: "Don't be so troublesome. The biggest variable in this Holy Grail War is right in front of you, and that's me."

"You?" Arturia raised her head, her hair shaking.

"Well, since you made a contract with the restraining force, you should know about the existence of parallel worlds."

"I know something." Although Arturia is not dead, she has become something like a heroic spirit due to the contract of restraint.

"This Holy Grail War and the Fuyuki Holy Grail War that you and I participated in are actually different developments of the same Holy Grail War. The two worlds are parallel to each other. In other words, I am not from this world. I come from other worlds, with special characteristics. He intervened in this Holy Grail War and seized the job of the Black Assassin. The real Black Assassin should belong to the child you saw. I think the restraint force was aware of my existence and sent you to observe me. Yes."

PS: Artoria still had a longing for Merlin when she was young, but as time goes by, she becomes more and more hateful to Merlin. In "Fate Grand Order", Artoria looks at Merlin as if he is looking at garbage, tsk tsk.

PS2: Ask someone for help and show what is common sense.

PS3: After learning about Merlin's existence, Tuidaomao was worried - do you want Merlin to watch the live broadcast? With Merlin's style, he will definitely keep an eye on Du Mao the whole time. When the time comes - "Well, let's tell a story about a king. On a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, in a certain small dark room..."
