We gotta play nice, right? So in that case, let's just pretend we're bending over backwards to flatter her.
Tell her that your Master would dedicate any victory in the Arena to her... like, make a pledge. I dunno, you know how to be more convincing than I do. We gotta get her to trust us.
To think that my Master has even one traitorous bone in his body... it's good. You're not as simple as you look.
I won't disappoint you. No, more than that... I'll surprise you with my skills. Have some sort of reward ready for me when I return. Food should be acceptable.
[He still doesn't know how he feels about providing venture capital for someone to slay in the arenas- he'll have to make sure Minatsuki is okay after all of this. But, it is kind of nice having free reign on a hefty wallet.]
I wonder if there are buffets here...
[Mordred at one of those.
He doesn't know if she'll impress the spiders or mortify them into finding her absolutely appalling. Either outcome is good.]
Everyone needs a hobby. So long as this 'instant gram' could assist me in becoming king, I'd allow it.
[ She can only go so long without bringing that up... ]
But don't misunderstand. My body now is the same as it was in life. Whatever advantages I have as a Servant, they played no part in obtaining it. You'll just have to work hard.
Am I supposed to be impressed by that? Hundreds of thousands once followed me into battle. We'll see if your idea can hope to match up.
But if you want, I can help train you. Not at swinging a sword, but the other sort of things that go into being a knight. You might die, but you'll certainly become stronger if you survive.
Hundreds of thousands? I've seen some people on Instagram with nearly millions, depending on how famous you are. Don't know too much about the battle stuff, though.
[He also doesn't want to know what medieval torture devices they had to use to gain those rock hard abs and defined musculatures...
Who's he kidding, of course he fucking wants to know their secret.]
Sounds like COST's motto. You might get eaten by a spider, but you'll certainly become stronger if you survive. Or some shit like that.
[ Millions... imagine if she could rally that sort of army. She'll have to think about it. ]
We had far worse than spiders to deal with. Giants, dragons... the Round Table fought all sorts of phantasmal creatures. Ordinary humans could only hope to become their next meal.
[ It's funny. She talks about hating her father and the other knights, but there's genuine levity in her voice most of the time she speaks about them. Almost as if it was more fun than she realized. ]
Regardless, I will train you thoroughly, Master. Look forward to it once we return to BASE. I can surely think of better methods than that centaur can. [ Okay, but he's taught for centuries, and she's taught........... never. ]

Yeah. And if she is, I'll tell her to shut up. No one here is more important than my Master.
Until then, let me know if you have anything you wish to say. After all, it was you who honoured her with my victory.

And then, we betray if we gotta.
[They are such a good team.]

[ Or have enough money.
Ryuji's about to be poor again. ]

[Oh.]
Well, I mean... okay. If you're that hungry. Goddamn, and none of that is gonna go to your thighs either, huh? Effin' lucky.

Are you jealous? I suppose being a spirit does have some advantages.

[He can't tell but he's squinting off into space as if she's right there with him.]
Kinda? I mean, I really want more ab definition, and I can't eat junk food 'cause of that.

Well... you'd definitely have a lot of followers at least.
[Doesn't correct 'Instant Gram'... admittedly, it's cute, and he's a sucker for when she's like this.]
I am workin' hard! At least my muscles have definition now. I mean, not a ton, but...
[Someone please love him.
That's it. That's the implication.]
