Chapter 108: Dinner
|3rd POV|
Serafall raises one eyebrow at the greeting Dagda says. While it is true that she technically is not invited to this dinner party, she is still one of the four Satan. The way Dagda says how he welcomes Riser and the other is like saying that he only welcomes her because she is with Riser.
"Please follow me. The other was already waiting in the dining room."
Dagda gives them a big smile, ignoring how Serafall looks at him, and starts to walk to the dining room.
"So! Riser Phenex."
While walking to the dining room, the chief god of Celtic speaks loudly, calling Riser.
"How is the first impression of our home?"
Riser looks at Dagda for a second and says,
"It is great. I have never seen something this beautiful before. I have visited many mountains while completing some contracts, but I have never seen a mountain like this."
"Bwahahahahaha! Good. We are trying really hard to make this happen. It looks like our hard work has paid off. You know you can ask for the rune on the gate."
Riser looked at Dagda with a surprised expression. He made sure his face did not give anything, but it looked like it was not enough.
"Heh. You did not need to look so surprised. While I look like this, I"m still the god of Wisdom, you know? Reading someone's expression is easy for me."
"Can I really ask about the rune?"
"Aye. Feel free to ask me."
"Then, for my first question, are you the one creating that gate? You are also the God of Magic, after all. Not only that, I can feel an energy inside the gate that has the same feeling as yours."
"Bwahahahaha. So you notice that eh? Aye. I'm the one that created the foundation of the gate. However, I cannot say that I build it by myself. Lugh and Morrigan also help."
"I see. What kind of rune do you use? I have never seen so many kinds of runes in a single object."
"Hmmm, what kind of rune can you see?"
"Celtic runes, Nordic runes, Japanese seals, and some Chinese seals."
"Heh, you are knowledgeable for a child."
"I like to read. While I did not have capabilities for runic magic, I still like them."
"Well, you are right about the four of those runes. However, you missed one runic language, Mesopotamian."
"Huh? But I did not see it."
"Because those kinds of runes are only good for a connector between runes. Especially to connect Japanese seals and Chinese seals. While they are a formidable rune on their own, their true worth shines when used as a connector."
"I see."
Riser nods his head in understanding. He now understands the unknown rune between the other runes. It was the rune coming from the Mesopotamian faction. The faction that long died from a civil war between their mortals and their gods.
While Riser cannot see Medea's face, he can feel her excitement radiating from her. She just got so many ideas from this conversation. Combining two runes is something that she really wants to do, but she cannot do that. Each time she tries, it will either explode or not work.
She knew that it was something to do with the connector between the runic formula. It was either too strong and caused an explosion or too weak to handle the runic combination. She can combine the Celtic and Greek runes, but it did not give the result she wanted. It is working, but it was not as powerful as she imagined it to be.
"Ah! Here we are."
Riser snaps from his thoughts when he hears Dagda declaring that they have arrived in front of the dining room. As he stepped inside the room, he could see many kinds of food on the table, from a whole suckling pig to a whole stuffed turkey.
Sitting around the long table is four people. The first one is a man with long blue hair and red eyes. This man is Lugh, the father of Cuchulainn. Sitting next to him is a beautiful woman wearing a veil around her face and having black hair. She is Morrigan, the goddess of death in the Celtic faction. The one sitting next to Morrigan is Manannán mac Lir, he is the god of the sea. He is a tall and muscular man with long light blue hair, unlike a darker shade of blue Lugh has. The last person is another beautiful woman wearing purple armor. She has red eyes that look at Shirou with intensity. This woman is Scathach, the teacher of Cuchulainn.
"Let me introduce you to these people. The first one is Lugh, sitting next to him is Morrigan, the next one is Manannán mac Lir and lastly the Queen of Land of Shadow, Scathach."
Lugh and Manannán mac Lir smile at Riser but Morrigan and Scathach stare at Shirou instead of greeting the guest. Even the dense-headed Shirou starts to get nervous when he feels the intense stare Morrigan and Scathach throw at him.
Seeing the two women's behavior, Dagda can only sigh and ask the guest to sit down on the chair. After sitting down, Dagda starts the dinner party by saying,
"Once again, I welcome Riser and his companion to this dinner party! Let's not wait anymore longer. Let's eat!"
When hearing Dagda's voice, Morrigan and Scathach decide to look away from Shirou. All of the people start to eat. While eating the food, Serafall decides to have a small conversation with the leader of the Celtic faction.
On the other hand, Riser eats the food in front of him while thinking about how to recreate the food in front of him. The food on the table was very delicious, and his Faerie Feast was already working to deconstruct the ingredients needed to make the dishes in front of him.
Some of the ingredients are easy to get, but many of the ingredients cannot be obtained on earth, but Faerie Feast already has a list of ingredients that can replace it.
While all of the people have a pleasant day eating the food, Morrigan decides that she has enough.
"Alright, that's enough."
After saying that, she looks at Shirou and says,
"I can't wait any longer! Let me see your spear!"
Riser, Lugh, and Dagda choked when they heard the way Morrigan said that. Shirou can only blush at Morrigan's words, and Illya looks at the goddess of death for a second before deciding to add more fuel to the fire.
"No! Only I can see Shirou's spear!"
Manannán can't hold back any longer and starts to laugh. Scatchach, on the other hand, can only shake her head and place one of her hands on her face in embarrassment.
