Chapter 257 - Chapter 257: Trip to Britain

"Damn it, he already has me, but he went on a honeymoon trip with someone else. Master is such a big idiot."

Tamamo-no-Mae, who was in Tomb of the Star Corridor researching and making chess pieces for other Servant classes with Medea, pulled her fox ears and tail.

She said dejectedly.

Tamamo-no-Mae is a loyal Servant who puts her husband first and is very devoted to her lover.

Moreover, the reason she became a Heroic Spirit was her strong desire to become a good wife and a good fox.

This wish might have come from the personality manifested in the wisp of Amaterasu's Soul, or it might have come from her previous five failed experiences.

However, not long after being summoned, she successfully gained a physical body with the help of the Holy Grail.

Just as Tamamo-no-Mae was preparing for a passionate romance, she discovered something surprising.

Her Master had actually abandoned her and run off with another woman!

It was only at this moment that Tamamo-no-Mae realized that Eichi had summoned her not because she was a legendary peerless beauty.

But because of her Jujutsu talent and abilities.

Tamamo-no-Mae possesses EX-rank Jujutsu, the Dakini Heaven Method.

It is important to note that this Jujutsu is not a Cursed Technique from the Jujutsu Kaisen world.

Instead, it is a system, similar to the Magecraft Medea uses.

The Dakini Heaven Method can be used to gain status, wealth, the favor of those in high positions, insight into one's death, and how to obtain power, among other things.

Although Tamamo-no-Mae's past use of the Dakini Heaven Method caused many disasters, so she no longer uses it now.

But her mastery of Jujutsu remains.

When a skill reaches a certain Realm, one typically understands many things through one.

Even if it cannot be directly applied, commonalities can be found.

Similarly, Tamamo-no-Mae also has EX-rank Fox's Wedding.

However, this skill was created by Tamamo-no-Mae through modifications and adjustments to Item Construction.

In other words, Tamamo-no-Mae originally had the Item Construction skill.

But she changed it herself to Fox's Wedding.

Therefore, Eichi felt that Tamamo-no-Mae could handle the job of Medea's assistant.

As for Eichi, after fulfilling his promise to Medea, he took Artoria to Britain for a trip.

Yuta Okkotsu and Maki are almost old enough to enroll in Tokyo Jujutsu High, and the next two years or so will likely be very busy.

So Eichi planned to take Artoria to Britain during this last period of time to fulfill one of Artoria's wishes.

"Why are you staring at Master? Aren't there plenty of good men at the High School?"

Medea calmly sipped her black tea, flipping through an ancient book in her hand.

Actually, Medea also had thoughts about Eichi at first.

Medea's past was equally tragic; like Tamamo-no-Mae, she had a truly tragic love life.

Therefore, Medea also longed for a love where two people absolutely trusted each other and would give everything for each other.

In Medea's opinion, Eichi possessed this quality.

However, she also noticed that Eichi did not have her in his eyes.

The only female in Eichi's eyes was Artoria.

Therefore, Medea gave up, but since she and Eichi never started anything, she didn't feel it was any different to find a new love interest.

Thus, she didn't quite understand Tamamo-no-Mae's current mood.

"That's Master, a Master with a super rare Soul."

Tamamo-no-Mae clapped her hands on the table, propping herself up, and looked at Medea with pitiful eyes.

"But you and Master haven't even started yet, so strictly speaking, you're the 'other person'."

Medea calmly delivered a critical hit to Tamamo-no-Mae's heart.

"Migu~"

Tamamo-no-Mae let out a whimper like a defeated dog, slumping onto the table again... Great Britain.

After getting off the plane, Eichi took Artoria to a restaurant, intending to eat something first.

After all, the portion of airplane food was really small, not even enough for a snack for Artoria.

Mixed grill, fish and chips... Eichi looked at the thin menu in his hand and ordered a few dishes that looked edible.

It wasn't that Eichi was picky.

Having lived two lives, Eichi had no habit of being a picky eater.

It's just that Britain, as the world-renowned country of dark cuisine and a famous food desert, simply doesn't have many delicious things.

Artoria also became so fond of eating after becoming a Servant because she ate so poorly in her lifetime that it couldn't satisfy her kingly appetite.

As for how bad British food is, you can imagine it with a few examples.

A former president once said that the worst food in the world, besides Finnish cuisine, is British food.

Xu Zhimo once complained in an article that the best food in Britain was foreign food.

There's also a humorous saying about Britain being a food desert.

The two thinnest books in the world are the history of the United States and the British cookbook.

To give a more specific food-related example, there's a delicacy called dried shark meat in the coastal areas of northern Britain.

However, sharks excrete urine through their skin, so you can imagine the taste of dried shark meat for yourselves.

Actually, British cuisine also had its development.

During the Middle Ages, due to the development of animal husbandry and the continuous influx of foreign spices.

British cuisine once had a beginning.

But unfortunately, it wasn't long before the Industrial Revolution arrived.

With the development of industry, people's dietary needs changed greatly.

People went from pursuing deliciousness to pursuing cheap, filling, and easy-to-carry and store food.

Therefore, cheap fish became increasingly popular.

High-calorie foods like fish and chips, which were inexpensive and satisfying to eat, gradually became widespread.

Coupled with Britain's developed canning industry.

Therefore, Britain's food culture almost died in its infancy.

And there's worse.

Later, during the war, Britain fell into a state of extreme resource scarcity.

For more than a decade, the people of Britain struggled even to solve their food problems.

How could a food culture grow in such an environment?

So the Eastern Great Country is still good.

If you really want to eat, you can try all the cuisines for 365 days a year without repetition.

"I'm finished eating, Eichi."

After only eating six servings of food, Artoria elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth.

"Is that so? Then let's set off. Artoria, do you have anywhere you want to go first?"

Hearing this, Eichi got up and went to the front desk to pay the bill.

"I don't have anywhere specific in mind. You can make the arrangements."

Artoria shook her head.

"Is that so? Then let's go to London first. We'll start from London and spend a few days exploring the current Britain thoroughly."

To facilitate this trip, Eichi first took Artoria to a store and bought a car.

It's not very appropriate to fly around where there are people. Considering the speed and comfort of travel, it's better to buy an RV.
