[Kirei Kotomine's somewhat relieved voice followed: "It ended without any incidents, that's great!"]
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light erupted before Artoria and Shirou Emiya, and the Holy Grail appeared before them.
"Cú Chulainn is dead and they call it 'no accident'... Poor Wang-chan!"
Upon hearing Father Mapo's speech, everyone from the other worlds couldn't hold back anymore. Poor Dog Brother seemed to have died in vain and been forgotten.
But what surprised everyone the most was Shirou Emiya, the guy who seemed to have a grudge against the Holy Grail, who actually didn't cut it this time?!
Academy City World
"Wait—! You said there were no accidents?" Touma Kamijou blinked blankly, thinking he had misheard.
After regaining his senses, he started counting on his fingers... Cú Chulainn was blown up, Illya was blown away, Sasaki fell off a cliff, and Medusa went to the moon.
As he counted, Mr. Kamijou started to get a little frustrated: "It really was without any accidents... my foot!!" (Read super exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
Any one of these items could be on the evening news in a heartbeat, and you call this nothing happening?
Type-Moon Fifth World War
"Can I stab him to death with one spear?" Hearing the priest's unscrupulous remarks, Cú Chulainn tightened his Death Thorn Spear, wishing he could poke a thousand transparent holes in him.
The rocket explosion was so loud, and you call this nothing? You've forgotten about me way too quickly!
When has Cú Chulainn, the great hero of Ireland, ever suffered such injustice? Even after I'm dead, the persecution hasn't stopped.
"Poke if you want, nobody's stopping you," Rin Tohsaka said dismissively, clearly annoyed.
Counting all the other worlds, the Holy Grail has appeared so many times, yet I haven't obtained it even once? So, have all ten years of my meticulous preparation been wasted?
Meanwhile, Artoria, who remained silent to the side, also had her own thoughts, wondering what kind of wish she would make to the Holy Grail in other worlds.
Is it still about saving Britain?
[Kirei Kotomine's voice rang out again: "The Holy Grail has finally appeared. Now, their wishes can be fulfilled!"]
Looking at the Holy Grail before them, Artoria and Shirou Emiya exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
He then firmly made a wish: "Please give us back our money!"
[It seems like the Holy Grail hasn't heard such a simple wish in a long time, or perhaps they're afraid that Shirou Emiya might draw his sword and chop him down at the slightest provocation.]
Without hesitation, he granted his wish, and without any side effects!
Looking at the restored amount on her bank statement, Artoria finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, now I don't have to eat ochazuke anymore."
"What a grand wish... How about asking for more? That's all you've got!"
"Haha, what a simple and unpretentious wish! So what were you two doing participating in the competition and busying yourselves for?"
Upon hearing this seemingly mundane wish, everyone watching the video was utterly astonished, their faces darkening... What a narrow-minded approach! You could at least ask for more! What's the point of participating in the competition if you're like this?!
Gabriel DropOut
"What a waste...it's such a waste!" Gabriel stood up excitedly, looking at him with a disappointed expression, wondering if he dared to ask for more.
Most importantly, aren't you two geniuses sitting on a toy rocking horse?
You can just remove the cash box, then you'll get all the money you spent today back, you two big idiots!!
Type-Moon Fate/Zero World
Irisviel was equally stunned, standing rooted to the spot, and pointing blankly at the screen: "Kiritsugu... has our family gone bankrupt?"
The lady never expected that Shirou Emiya and Artoria would make such a wish that they would never make. After all, which family of magicians would be short of money?
"I... I don't think so." Kiritsugu Emiya also felt quite melancholy. His family was so wealthy that they could live off their wealth for a lifetime.
He initially thought Shirou Emiya would make some kind of wish for world peace, but this was it?!
If all else fails, wishing for financial freedom is better than your dream! The money you just spent on the competition isn't even as much as the weapons I bought.
Type-Moon Fifth World War
"Ah—" Rin Tohsaka let out a mournful cry, tears welling in her eyes as she grabbed Shirou's collar and shook him violently: "What kind of crazy wish did you make with the Holy Grail?!"
The thought that her hard work and frugality for ten years in preparing for the Holy Grail War had been used to make such a wish was worse than being killed.
If all else fails, just sell the Holy Grail to me. I'll pay you back slowly, consider it a loan I took out to buy the Holy Grail!
Archer had some appreciation for Rin Tohsaka's breakdown: "Although her wish was a bit simple, she did a pretty good job."
Although he dislikes his past self, he doesn't hate him to some extent as long as he isn't obsessed with the ideal of being a partner in justice.
Gilgamesh gritted his teeth so hard they were almost ground to powder, and said viciously, "So he was willing to cheat and ruin my enjoyment in order to win the Holy Grail War, all for something like this?"
Money is everywhere, isn't it? Come and beg me a couple of times, and I might even reward you, my subjects.
"So... no one's going to speak up for me?" Cú Chulainn's forehead veins throbbed, feeling utterly worthless about his death.
P.S.: Next up is Grand Carnival, and Dog Bro will continue to be tortured like a corpse!
Chapter 608, "Grand Carnival": Lancer is dead again...
After Shirou Emiya and Saber made their simplest wishes, the scene in the video took a completely new turn.
[First up is the brand new title: "Grand Carnival: The Great Fire of the Feast!"]
Below the title, there are these smaller lines of text... Human resource foundation value A++.
[As the title disappeared, the scene shifted to a building covered in a blizzard, where Father Mapo's cheerful voice suddenly rang out.]
“Phineas Chaldea, the human survival guarantee organization, the last bastion of the guardians of humanity, and now… it is preparing the most demanding Order in history!”
"That is... the Great Spirit Origin Return Plan!"
"Holy crap!! Chaldea? The most demanding Order in history? Even Goetia in the End Singularity wasn't the hardest?"
Hearing this familiar place name, coupled with this somewhat ominous description!
People from other worlds subconsciously swallowed, instantly becoming tense. Who the hell is this big shot who's going to destroy the world?!
…Since the video appeared, nothing related to Chaldea has been a small matter; they have all been world-destroying events!
Academy City World
"Pfft—" Sitting on the tatami mat, Touma Kamijou, who was drinking water, choked instantly and quickly patted his chest: "Cough cough..."
After recovering, Kamijou looked at the screen with utter confusion: "Weren't all the singularities over?"
This one looks even more outrageous, the most stringent order ever! Just how brutal does it have to be to deserve this kind of praise?
The Lion King with the Holy Lance, Tiamat, the creator goddess, Goetia, the Demon King... that world was truly full of disasters.
Chaldea, the world of Type-Moon
"Really?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was busy preparing to deal with Goetia, was stunned: "A capped A++ level right off the bat?"
This level is already on par with Tiamat, the creator goddess of the Seventh Singularity. Honestly, is there any hope for humanity?
Thinking about this... he suddenly felt a pain in his liver and a headache for no reason! It's like one problem after another, why is there always someone causing trouble?
Da Vinci rubbed his forehead in slight distress: "I think I can understand Romani a little better now... Sometimes knowing too much about the future isn't a good thing!"
She hadn't even gotten past Goetia yet, and now she knew there might be something even tougher to come. Even she felt a tightness in her chest; it was just too demoralizing!
Inside a room in Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci's illusory communication device was constantly complaining: "There are more and more Servants, and they keep complaining about not having enough mana and wanting their own rooms."
"Chaldea's resource shortage has become increasingly severe."
[Before Leonardo da Vinci sat a young girl with orange-red hair and Command Seals on her hands, deep in thought.]
[And this girl is none other than the female version of Fujimaru Ritsuka, also known as Gudako, the evil of humanity!]
Just then, Mashu, carrying two drinks, walked into the room and overheard this: "How can you break contracts on such a large scale?!"
Gudako also seemed very hesitant: "Yeah, even if they're just loafing around..."
Mashu, somewhat embarrassed, retorted, "Senpai, lounging around like this is going too far."
Da Vinci shrugged: "How about we deduct their maintenance costs from your salary?"
Hearing this, Gudako's expression changed instantly, and she became resolute: "It seems we must make a difficult decision..."
"Wait a minute! The Servant wants a private room. So they used to live in dormitories. Is Chaldea some kind of large electronics factory?"
"Holy crap! Fujimaru Ritsuka has become Fujimaru-san? The gender change is one thing, but her personality seems to have become a bit sleazy too!"
Hearing their conversation, the people from other worlds fell silent, their tense hearts relaxing. It turned out to be Chaldea's large-scale "layoff" plan!
No wonder it's called the most stringent order in history; it really is quite stringent.
And was this a difficult decision? Seeing how determined you were when you heard about the pay cut, I really couldn't see where your hesitation lay.
Chaldea, the world of Type-Moon
"Senpai, you've become sisters?" Mashu blinked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a slightly dazed look, completely confused.
Dr. Roman's expression was also somewhat subtle: "A female version of Fujimaru, her somewhat despicable personality is a bit like Merlin... like that Merlin with a conscience."
Fujimaru's expression changed drastically at the thought of Merlin's wicked nature, and his voice became hesitant: "N-no way."
Even the way I looked at the video became somewhat worried. Me in another world!
I hope you don't offend too many heroic spirits. I don't want to become like Merlin, hated by everyone!
"Mash, you have to understand!" Gudako looked very distressed. "Someone always has to play the bad cop in these situations."
