Multiverse Dimensional Shop

The streets of Fuyuki City are a lively and peaceful scene.

Although there was light snow falling in the sky, there were more people on the street than usual. A large group of people gathered in front of various shops on both sides of the street, picking out the items they wanted to buy.

They have various body shapes, wear various clothes, and have various faces. They come and go on this not-too-wide street, adding a different temperature to this winter.

"Indeed, it's very different!"

Standing at the corner of the street, Zhao Chen looked at the pedestrians in all directions, looking at the large and small bags in their hands, as well as the little people with extremely bright faces, and said to himself.

It is indeed very different. Compared with the Fuyuki City in the independent derivative world of Fate that I visited before on vacation, this place seems extremely harmonious.

Not only is it harmonious, but the excitement and smell of fireworks that make people relax involuntarily fill every corner here, as if they have never experienced any suffering.

This kind of smoke and smoke that could be squeezed out of the air made Zhao Chen's curiosity about this world even more intense.

At the same time, he was even more certain of one thing, that is, he would be able to find inspiration from this world and recall the fleeting thought before.

With this purpose in mind, Zhao Chen looked at the clothing of the people around him and changed his own clothes into ones that fit the world and the season.

The light snow gradually fell, but it didn't stop everyone from going shopping. Basically every shop was crowded with people.

Walking along the flow of people, Zhao Chen looked at the surroundings and considered whether he should also find a restaurant to have a meal. After all, judging from the name, this world should be a food-related world. .

At this moment, a figure that looked familiar to Zhao Chen appeared in front of a fish shop not far ahead.

"If that figure didn't have that apron and had an extra gun in his hand." Comparing it carefully with the image of the paper figure that came to mind, Zhao Chen squinted his eyes and slowly approached the fish house.

As he gradually approached, an old lady with a peaceful face and gray hair walked past from the right front.

The old lady seemed to be in good health. Although her waist was a bit curved, her movements were very nimble. In a few steps, she walked up to the fish seller who exuded a faint domineering attitude.

Only then did Zhao Chen notice that there was another figure who looked very familiar in front of the fish seller.

Before he could recall and compare his identity, the old woman looked at the many varieties of fish on the counter and fell into difficulty in choosing.

So she looked at the fish seller and asked with a smile: "Young man over there, what is the recommendation of the day in your store today?"

"Beautiful girl, we recommend the red goldeye snapper today!" The fish seller turned around and responded with a smile on his face. In order to have a better conversation with the old lady, he kept bending down.

And with this turn, Zhao Chen could see the other party's face completely, and his initial guess was instantly confirmed.

Gouzi, it’s you, the Lancer of the fifth battle—Cu Chulainn!

"You have such a sweet mouth. You even call me pretty. Then give me some!" The smile on the old woman's face became brighter and she immediately bought a red goldeye snapper.

After making a sound, Cu Chulainn was also very satisfied. He packed up a fish and handed it to the old woman's hands.

Then he successfully received a compliment from the old lady: "You are quite tall!"

Accepting the compliment with a smile, Cu Chulainn sent the old lady away, and then looked at the previous guest: "What about you? What fish do you want to buy today?"

At this time, the customer in front of him also turned slightly and carefully looked at the fish in the cabinet. When he saw the price, he suddenly froze.

The young man sighed softly, and couldn't help but think of his somewhat shriveled wallet and the stupid furry king waiting to be fed at home, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying today's recommendation.

Then, the young man moved his eyes away from the red goldeneye snapper and asked: "Lancer, help me choose a cheaper fish. I don't seem to be able to afford this."

"Okay, let me see." Cu Chulainn put his hands on his hips and looked down at the fish in the cabinet.

After a while, he took out a piece of fish from the cabinet, put it on a plate and handed it to the boy: "What do you think of this salmon? It's not only cheap, but also delicious. And it can be fried and baked, so it's very easy to make."

The young man stretched out his hand and touched the fish a few times, thoughtfully: "The salmon is really good, steamed is also delicious enough. I have an idea. Let's eat tin foil grilled fish tonight!"

These words caught Cu Chulainn's attention, so he immediately asked: "What is that? Will it taste better if it is made that way?"

Please forgive this Celtic hero from the legendary epic. Although he has been in the modern world for a while, it takes some time to adapt to modern life.

So he doesn't have much idea about how to cook food, but he is very familiar with the drinks of this era.

Faced with Cu Chulainn's question, the young man thought for a while and replied: "I think it is one of the more delicious simple recipes. Give me three yuan for this."

Pointing to the plate in front of him, the boy stated the amount he needed and handed the coins to Cu Chulainn.

But when he got the bag, he discovered that there were four pieces of salmon inside. Before he could ask, Cu Chulainn handed over the change and explained by the way: "Then let me try it too, my piece." You will pay the bill yourself, remember, and don’t forget my share when I come to visit you later!”

Then, he turned around and went to the store to move fish, without giving the boy a chance to refuse.

His eyes moved back and forth between Cu Chulainn's back and the bag in his hand. In the end, the young man sighed and acquiesced.

"Well, remember to come early!" Without saying a word, the young man turned around, figured out the direction, and walked towards another store selling vegetables.

It was at this time that his face fell into Zhao Chen's eyes.

"As expected, it's Shirou Emiya, so I'll go and see him later. Maybe he can bring me some inspiration, but now I'd better talk to this lancer first!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Chen walked towards the fish house.

At this time, Cu Chulainn was moving the whole box of fish out of the house. When he saw Zhao Chen walking in, he hurriedly greeted: "This guest, do you need to buy fish? These are the freshest fish today, absolutely good."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chen's raised right hand fell into his eyes. To be precise, it was the three command spells on the back of his right hand that fell into Cu Chulainn's eyes, reminding him of some bad things. remember.

"Who are you? The Command Seal should have disappeared with the Holy Grail. Where did you conjure up the Command Seal?" Cu Chulainn's magic power shook, and a spear was about to take shape in his hand.

With his eyesight and perception, he could naturally see that what was on the back of Zhao Chen's hand was not a painted command spell, but a real command spell, and these three command spells had extremely abundant magic power.

These command spells were naturally souvenirs obtained in the independent derivative world of "Fate/Zero". After being analyzed by the store, Zhao Chen could have as many as he wanted, not to mention these three in his hand, even on his whole body. It's not a problem if there are Command Seals all over it.

Facing Cu Chulainn, who had a vague fighting posture, Zhao Chen smiled and turned his hand. When the back of his hand appeared in front of Gouzi again, it was pure white, with no sign of the existence of a command spell at all.

"Don't worry, my command spell is not from this world, nor does it have any other meaning. I just want to communicate with you, and by the way, I want you to tell me something. How about it, do you have time?"

Looking at Cu Chulainn who was facing a formidable enemy, Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Faced with this situation, Cu Chulainn first stared at Zhao Chen suspiciously for a while, looked him up and down, then thought for a moment and said: "Okay, but I have to wait until I sell out all these fish. "

Zhao Chen nodded, then handed over two stacks of banknotes, with a bright smile on his face.

"Okay, then just pack it all up for me. This is two hundred thousand yen, which should be enough."

These coins were brought back from "Fate/Zero", and based on how similar the two worlds are, they should be usable.

Cu Chulainn was speechless: "That's enough, thank you for coming."

After cleaning up for a while, Cu Chulainn took off his apron, put on casual clothes, and went to a cafe not far from the fish house with Zhao Chen.

Compared with Zhao Chen who followed the locals and followed the seasons and climate, Cu Chulainn did not hide his physique as a heroic spirit at all. In the winter, he just wore a T-shirt and a jacket, and the jacket was still open.

"A cup of cappuccino. If you have any questions, just ask them directly. But as a condition of answering your questions, I also have a few questions that need to be answered by you."

Ordering a cup of cappuccino with ease, Cu Chulainn looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Zhao Chen nodded happily: "No problem. First question, what do you think of your current life?"

"My life now is not bad. Compared with the days when I was fighting on the battlefield, it seems to be particularly leisurely now. It's so leisurely that I don't want to recall the past. However, I should be quite satisfied."

Thinking of his experiences during this period, Cu Chulainn picked up the tea cup and took a sip of coffee. Then he raised the cup and said, "Just like this and the various fine wines here, I feel quite satisfied."

"Then if you can return to the Seat of Heroes, will you go back now or later?" Zhao Chen then asked.

In response to this question, Cu Chulainn was silent for a while before speaking: "Probably in the future. Although I will think of the battles I won in the past when I am free, I am not willing to let go of such a peaceful life."

Is this so?

Zhao Chen was thoughtful and did not continue to ask. Instead, he turned to look at the snowy streets outside, dazed.

Seeing this, Cu Chulainn drank the cappuccino in two gulps and asked Zhao Chen in turn: "Since you asked two questions, I will also ask two questions. Who are you? You What is the purpose of appearing with a command spell?"

Cu Chulainn's voice disrupted Zhao Chen's thoughts, and also made him realize one thing. He didn't seem to have done anything to introduce me.

"My name is Zhao Chen, the owner of the Dimension Store. As for the command spell, you don't have to worry. It is not a product of this world, and it has no binding force on you. If it is Mordred, it may be able to work. And the purpose, I don’t have any purpose. If I really have one, it is to ask you, the heroic spirits left in the world, the two questions I just asked.”

After some introduction, although Cu Chulainn was not very understanding, he could still see that Zhao Chen's words did come from his true thoughts.

So the warm-hearted hero directly hugged Zhao Chen's shoulders and said as if we are two brothers: "If that's the case, then I will take you to find them today. Anyway, today's fish will also be caught." You bought it all and paid more, so you should just hire me!"

"Okay!" With such a good thing, of course Zhao Chen agreed immediately.

Then, under the leadership of Cu Chulainn, the two of them visited almost every place in Fuyuki City.

At the gate of Ryudouji Temple, the gatekeeper Sasaki Kojiro is also guarding the gate conscientiously today.

"Hey, long time no see, Assassin!" Cu Chulainn came up and patted Kojiro hard on the shoulder, as if there was some good relationship between them.

"Lancer, what brings you here today?"

Facing Cu Chulainn's enthusiasm, Kojiro stood still, quietly picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea, then bent his eyes with satisfaction.

Huh, in this kind of weather, hot tea is really the most comfortable thing.

Cu Chulainn got two cups out of nowhere, poured a cup each for himself and Zhao Chen who just appeared, and then said: "This is Zhao Chen, a friend I met today. He has two questions. Ask you."

"What's the problem?" Kojiro went straight to the point.

Zhao Chen repeated the two questions and waited for Kojiro's answer.

Kojiro pondered for a moment and replied: "The life I live now is very suitable for me. I practice swordsmanship every day and look at the door. There are not so many disputes. It is very good. As for returning to the Heroic Soul Seat, there is no rush for it. It will happen sooner or later anyway. Why don’t you go back and stay here for a while.”

After receiving Kojiro's answer, Zhao Chen silently noted it down, and then accompanied him with Cu Chulainn to look at the stairs in front of the door for an hour before entering the Liudong Temple behind him.

The exact same question as before was asked, and Medea, who was repairing the clothes of her Lord Soichiro in Ryudou Temple, gave her own answer.

"Of course life is great now. It's great to be able to live with Soichiro-sama every day."

"The Seat of Heroes? If you don't go back, you won't go back. What's there to go back to? It's so empty and you can only spend the whole day in memories."

Zhao Chen was not surprised by Medea's answer. It was indeed in line with her character. With a loved one by her side, it would be beautiful no matter where she is. For her, Soichiro Kuzuki is what she cares about most right now, and everything else has to stand aside! ! !
