角色故事•四（解鎖條件：角色等級80）
在聖杯戰爭的系統中，男子被定性為弓兵。這對於一個以「劍」為本源的人來說似乎是某種嘲諷，但男子不以為意。
「拜託，比起正面搏鬥，從遠處狙殺敵人才是更有效率的作戰方式吧？
「還是說你指望我像那些劍士一樣用光炮轟平一切？別鬧了，我只是個普通人，可沒有他們那麼強的魔力。」
話雖如此，只要情勢需要，男子也從不拒絕近身格鬥。得益於可謂無限量的「干將 · 莫邪」，他可以使出令人眼花繚亂的劍技，讓對手難以招架。
「如果用普通的子彈就能殺死敵人，我才不想多費這些力氣。
「不過，你要是真想學會這招——平常可以多下下廚房，從切菜的刀工練起。
「我可沒開玩笑。只要認真思考，你可以從做飯里學到很多。就拿最基礎的備菜來說吧——想要儘快吃到美味的一餐，你需要把製作每一種食物的工序都加以拆解，重新編排它們的順序，儘可能多的同時完成一些事…一旦你熟練於這種思考方式，就可以把它應用在身邊的各種事情上，為自己節省出大把的時間。
「再比如說炒菜的火候。初學者往往會陷入一個誤區，認為炒菜就是把不同的食材按次序加進鍋里，直到所有的食物都熟透為止。
「這對於那些耐炸耐煮的食材倒不成問題，但除此以外的卻不能如此處理。它們都有自己最優的烹飪時間和烹飪溫度，彼此之間出現矛盾是很正常的情況。
因此，大多數情況下，我們都要將食材分門別類，用不同的火候加以處理，關火出鍋也得夠果斷——最後再把它們全部組合在一起，完成一道色香味俱全的佳餚。」
是的，只要打開了關於廚房的話匣子，男子就會一改平常言簡意賅的作風，發表出許多飽含心得的長篇大論。這個終其一生都在戰鬥的男人，其生命的本質，似乎並不是正義或苦難，而是某種帶著生活氣息的煙火滋味。
「就像我之前說的，如果能在遠處就用狙擊的方式殺死敵人，那麼沒人願意冒著生命危險去和他們近身搏鬥。面對命運也是一樣。
「我的存在只不過說明了一件事：在某個遙遠的角落，有那樣一個世界，那裡的人們每天只能和命運進行你死我活的白刃格鬥，否則就毫無活下去的希望。
「雖然我曾在那裡為他們戰鬥過，但世界得以改變的原因，還是因為人們始終在與命運毫不停歇地搏鬥。
「而我…不過是一個一無所有，還遠未贏過命運的男人罷了。」
毫無疑問，他仍會沿著這條「拯救人類」的道路走下去。
就像他總是樂意為朋友們下廚一樣。
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)."
