《Infinite Swordsman and His Cafe》Chapter 11: Quest for Mapo Tofu
Advertisement
Kojiro looked at the people in front of him. The first person he sees is the King of Conqueror, Iskandar, and next to him is Waver Velvet, the future great teacher of Clock Tower.
Then he looked in the opposite direction where the Holy Grail itself was standing near King Arthur. Next to King Arthur is the Knight of Fianna or known as Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.
Before he could ask them something, he felt a slight flicker of mana above him, and as he looked up, he saw a man with golden armor, bright yellow hair, and red eyes.
"That is the servant that should be killing the Assassin."
The golden man looked at him for a little while, raising his eyebrow before looking at King Arthur and Iskandar with disdain.
"In a single night, two insolent knaves dare to call themselves kings in my presence."
The golden servant's tone was outright arrogant and condescending. Kojiro could not help but twitch a little with his insult. He knows that Gilgamesh is arrogant, but he doesn't know to this extent.
"You are mistaken. I'm Iskandar the King of Conqueror"
"Hmph, Nonsenses. I'm the true king of Heaven and Earth. The rest of you is nothing but a mongrel in my presence."
A tick mark suddenly appears on his head after hearing Gilgamesh insult and decide to insult him back.
"Oh? But do you have the right to call us Mongrel?"
He now can feel the stare of the people around him. Especially Gilgamesh.
"What do you mean?"
"You are Gilgamesh, right? The King of Heroes."
"Hmph, That I am, Mongrel"
"Then you are half-god and half-human, right?"
"Get to the point, mongrel. I don't have time for your games."
Kojiro smiles at him and mocks him.
"Then that makes you a Mongrel, right?"
In the distance, he could hear a glass broken, and Iskandar is holding his laugh.
"You dare to insult me ?!?"
"Since you are a mongrel, then that makes you a king of mongrels, right?"
"If you desire death so much, Mongrel. Then I will give it to you!"
Ripples appear in the air behind Gilgamesh, and from the ripple appear many types of weapon. Kojiro stunned for a second as his Pocket Dimension decided to scan the Gate of Babylon, but he snapped from his shock and began to parry all the incoming weapons.
He activated his penetration, and anti-magic effect on his weapon then began to deflect the weapon. Every weapon coming to him is sliced in half because of the effect of Penetration, and with the Anti-Magic effect, all Gilgamesh weapons are useless against him. After a few seconds firing the weapon at him, Gilgamesh stopped and glared at him. If looks can kill then, Kojiro already becomes a Sashimi.

However, before Gilgamesh could attack him once more, another servant appeared on the battlefield. This servant is a monster wearing black armor with a hint of red light on his body. The monster has an aura around the body, concealing his true identity.
"Another rabid dog dared to look upon me without permission. Die, Mongrel"
"Gaaaaaaaaa!!"
Gilgamesh summoned another weapon and launched it toward the berserker, and as the weapon came near the berserker, an explosion happened. Before the weapon could hit Berserker, the black knight grabs the weapon and uses it to destroy the other weapon.
"You… You dare to touch my treasure. You rabid dog, Let me end your pitiful life. Die, Mongrel"
Gilgamesh summons more ripples behind him, and from the ripple, another weapon appears. Kojiro can identify some of the weapons like Houtengeki, Caladbolg, Merodach, Gram, Herpe, and Gae Bolg.
He then looks at the fight between Gilgamesh and Berserker. Berserker caught the first sword and destroyed the second with said sword caught. He then twirled to avoid the trident that would have impaled him only to catch the javelin in his other hand. He impaled the javelin down into the ground with his right hand glued to it while he continued to twist, dodge, strike, and deflect every other weapon with the sword he grabbed. His skill with the weapon was incredible, he was obviously a master of the sword, but to be able to know how to destroy each weapon thrown at him with the least amount of harm to his own spoke volumes. This monster was, no is, a master of every type of weaponry. Kojiro continued to stare as Berserker threw his sword and javelin at two separate hammers. At the same time, he plucked from the air an ax and another sword. He then threw each towards the lamppost, which Gilgamesh was standing on, splitting it into three pieces forcing the King of Heroes onto the ground and stalling the storm of swords.
Kojiro doesn't know whether he should laugh or be impressed. Berserker uses a chaotic style of fighting that he almost cannot predict while also making Gilgamesh stand on the ground, which is a form of humiliation for the King of Heroes.
"HOW DARE YOU! You dare to make me stand on the ground. Me! Who belongs in heaven! Die you lowly cur. This is your punishment from this true king."
Kojiro looks at the sky and sees a thousand ripples appear in the air, and each one of them has a different weapon pointed at the berserker. However, before Gilgamesh could launch the weapon, he looked at the sky and shouted 'Tokiomi' then sneered at them before disappearing in the mote of golden light.

He then looked at the berserker that suddenly roared and rushed to King Arthur's location and began to fight her using the metal tube that he picked while running toward King Arthur.
At that moment, Kojiro decided to leave the fighting scene and go to the Mapo Tofu place where he can learn the recipe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Haaaaaaaa"
Kojiro exhales the hot breath after eating the spicy Mapo Tofu. He must say this Mapo Tofu is delicious for people that can handle the spice. He was able to find out the secret spices of this Mapo Tofu while eating his food. He then pays his food to the old man that owns this restaurant. He can see why Kirei Kotomine eats in this Restaurant. Not only does the place give him a warm feeling, but the owner is also a good chef.
After paying, he walks outside and walks around Fuyuki City. While he is enjoying the night, he smells something so foul he unconsciously releases his killing intent. He activates his presence concealment skill and follows the smell. He slowly follows the scent and arrives at the decent looking house; however, what makes this house suspicious is the bounded field around it. Usually, the bounded field will only give the average human a dread feeling and make the house look like a haunted house. The house in front of him gives Kojiro a shiver on his back as it smells like a corpse.
He activates his penetration, and the anti-magic effect then slashes the barrier around the house before walking inside of it. He holds his sword firmly in his hand as he walks inside. The more he walked, the stronger the smell of blood, and when he arrived at the upstairs bedroom where the scent of blood was coming from, he opened the door. As he opens the door, he looks at two men standing in the middle of the room with blood pooling under their feet.
The first man is wearing a weird looking robe with a book on his hand. The man is rather tall and has a muscular body. He has huge, rolling eyes and glistening cheeks.
The second man is wearing a purple shirt with a white undershirt. He has two piercings, a chain at his waist, and a quiet disposition. The bracelet on his wrist is a magical item.
"What have you done?"
Both of them look at Kojiro before smiling and saying.
"Oh my, there is a lost lamb that arrived at our sanctuary. Isn't that right, my master?"
"You are right, Hey hey mister. Wanna look at something cool?"
The young man then reveals the thing that he calls 'cool.' However, the 'cool' thing is a statue made of hands, legs, and the head of many children. He looked at the 'statue,' and the only thing he could only see afterward was RED.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When he can control his body once more, Kojiro looks at the corpse of Ryuunosuke Uryuu and the caster 's body that just disappears after he kills him. He looks at the corpse of many people inside the house and decides to destroy this foul place.
He takes some runestones from his pocket dimension and places it in every corner of the room. When he was already outside of the house, he activated the runestone and created a barrier around the house. A second later blast of fire appeared from inside the house, burning anything inside the barrier. A minute later, the entire house is gone and only leaves ash.
"Rest in Peace"
He walked away from the house and walked toward the Ryuudou Temple to have some peaceful time to forget the recent event.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kojiro drinks some sake while sitting under the sakura tree and watches the moon. He continues to drink his warm sake and takes another cup from his pocket dimension and fills the cup then says.
"Do you want some?"
"Yes, Thank you."
He looks at the person that just appears near him. The man is somewhat old with a black suit and a black coat on his shoulder. The old man also has a white glove and is holding a cane with a jewel on top of the cane.
After giving the sake to the old man, he drinks his sake and says.
"So, what do you want Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg?"

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
