角色故事•四（解锁条件：角色等级80）
在圣杯战争的系统中，男子被定性为弓兵。这对于一个以“剑”为本源的人来说似乎是某种嘲讽，但男子不以为意。
“拜托，比起正面搏斗，从远处狙杀敌人才是更有效率的作战方式吧？
“还是说你指望我像那些剑士一样用光炮轰平一切？别闹了，我只是个普通人，可没有他们那么强的魔力。”
话虽如此，只要情势需要，男子也从不拒绝近身格斗。得益于可谓无限量的“干将 · 莫邪”，他可以使出令人眼花缭乱的剑技，让对手难以招架。
“如果用普通的子弹就能杀死敌人，我才不想多费这些力气。
“不过，你要是真想学会这招——平常可以多下下厨房，从切菜的刀工练起。
“我可没开玩笑。只要认真思考，你可以从做饭里学到很多。就拿最基础的备菜来说吧——想要尽快吃到美味的一餐，你需要把制作每一种食物的工序都加以拆解，重新编排它们的顺序，尽可能多的同时完成一些事…一旦你熟练于这种思考方式，就可以把它应用在身边的各种事情上，为自己节省出大把的时间。
“再比如说炒菜的火候。初学者往往会陷入一个误区，认为炒菜就是把不同的食材按次序加进锅里，直到所有的食物都熟透为止。
“这对于那些耐炸耐煮的食材倒不成问题，但除此以外的却不能如此处理。它们都有自己最优的烹饪时间和烹饪温度，彼此之间出现矛盾是很正常的情况。
因此，大多数情况下，我们都要将食材分门别类，用不同的火候加以处理，关火出锅也得够果断——最后再把它们全部组合在一起，完成一道色香味俱全的佳肴。”
是的，只要打开了关于厨房的话匣子，男子就会一改平常言简意赅的作风，发表出许多饱含心得的长篇大论。这个终其一生都在战斗的男人，其生命的本质，似乎并不是正义或苦难，而是某种带着生活气息的烟火滋味。
“就像我之前说的，如果能在远处就用狙击的方式杀死敌人，那么没人愿意冒着生命危险去和他们近身搏斗。面对命运也是一样。
“我的存在只不过说明了一件事：在某个遥远的角落，有那样一个世界，那里的人们每天只能和命运进行你死我活的白刃格斗，否则就毫无活下去的希望。
“虽然我曾在那里为他们战斗过，但世界得以改变的原因，还是因为人们始终在与命运毫不停歇地搏斗。
“而我…不过是一个一无所有，还远未赢过命运的男人罢了。”
毫无疑问，他仍会沿着这条“拯救人类”的道路走下去。
就像他总是乐意为朋友们下厨一样。
Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
Within the Holy Grail War's formal classification system, the man is categorized as a bow userArcher. This designation might seem like a subtle mockery for someone whose very essence revolves around "swords," yet the man himself remains completely unbothered by this apparent contradiction.
"Let's be practical. Isn't eliminating enemies from a distance far more efficient than facing them head-on?"
"Or were you expecting me to act like those swordmastersSabers, unleashing devastating beams of light that level everything? Don't be absurd. I'm just an ordinary person without their overwhelming magical energy reserves."
However, contrary to his statements, the man never hesitates to engage in close combat when the situation demands it. Leveraging his practically infinite supply of "Kanshou and Bakuya," he uses dazzingly complex sword skills that leave opponents struggling to defend themselves.
"If regular bullets could get the job done, I wouldn't bother going through all this trouble."
"But if you really wanna learn this move? Spend some time in the kitchen. Start by getting good with a knife."
"I'm not messing around. Cooking teaches you a lot if you actually think about it. Take meal prep, for instance. You want a great dish on the table fast? You gotta break down every step, figure out what can be done at the same time, and streamline the whole process. Once you get the hang of that mindset, you'll start applying it to everything in your life. It saves you a ton of time."
"Same with cooking temps. Newbies always think stir-fry means tossing everything into the pan in order until it's all cooked through."
"That works fine for stuff that can take the heat. But other ingredients? They've got their own ideal cooking time and temp, so they don't always get along."
"So most of the time, you've gotta sort your ingredients, adjust the heat for each one, and pull them off the burner at just the right moment. Then, bring everything back together to finish the dish balanced, flavorful, and just right."
Once he starts talking about cooking, the guy shifts gears entirely. Gone in his usual short-and-sharp talk. Instead, he dives into these long, thoughtful monologues, full of hard-won insight. For a man who's spent his whole life on the battlefield, it seems like what defines him isn't justice or suffering, but something quieter. Something like the everyday warmth of a home-cooked meal.
"Like I said before, if you can take out your enemies from a distance with a sniper shot, nobody would risk getting up close and personal. It's the same when it comes to fate."
"I exist to prove one thing: somewhere out there, in a corner of the world, there are people who have no choice but to fight fate in brutal, hand-to-hand combat, every single day. Because if they don't, they die."
"I fought for them once. But the world only changed because people kept going, kept fighting fate without pause."
"As for me... I'm just a man with nothing left, who's still a long way from ever beating fate(reaching utopia)."
