Chapter 102: Is Tom About to Die?!
Winter had fallen over the entire Fuyuki City, casting a somber atmosphere all around. However, the area by the Mion River was an exception. It was bustling and lively, more akin to a concert venue than a residential district. Centered around Saber... no, Artoria, within a range of dozens, even hundreds of square meters, luminous golden particles began to rise.
The entire surface of the lake shimmered with a dreamlike golden glow, creating a surreal scene. The surroundings were filled with golden particles, and the water turned a golden hue. At the center of this dense concentration of particles stood Artoria, making the whole spectacle appear highly unrealistic to the onlookers.
If there were any flaws to mention, it would be that both sides of Artoria's face were swollen from Tom's powerful blows. If they swelled a bit more, she would resemble a ball. It added a touch of complexity to what should have been a beautiful picture. It was like if the Venus de Milo had not lost her arms but her two breasts instead. It was no longer a flaw of beauty but rather a cerebral absence.
"Jerry, the camera!" Witnessing this perfect scene before him, Bai Song felt like his heart had been struck by a heavy blow. For some reason, he felt that this scene matched perfectly with his XP. It had to be captured; such a beautiful sight must be preserved. As a connoisseur of scenic views who loved to wander while playing games, this was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.
If he didn't capture it, Bai Song feared he would regret it for the rest of his life. It might even lead him astray, such as having Tom or Spike beat up Artoria, then kidnapping her and tying her to a tree to eat dirty socks while they enjoyed delicious food. It was estimated that within a few seconds, she would have to compromise and go to the designated location to use her Noble Phantasm again for Bai Song's photo.
However... if it were to happen that way, it would be entirely unnatural. Although the resulting photos might not show any difference, it would give Bai Song an uncomfortable feeling. The intended craftsmanship would be too strong, and the purity would be too high.
Upon hearing Bai Song's words, Jerry, who was standing nearby, immediately ran to Bai Song's side and began crawling up his pants, eventually reaching his shoulder.
In total, it did not take much time. Jerry's impressive display of unprotected 'rock climbing' skills was truly astonishing. If Jerry were to dare to participate in a competition, he would undoubtedly secure the gold medal. If Jerry were to achieve second place, it would certainly be due to someone rigging the match, or perhaps the champion is Tom.
After climbing onto Bai Song's right shoulder, Jerry began searching behind himself with a furrowed brow.
Suddenly, it seemed like he had found something, and his expression immediately became joyful. He then took out a camera, which was the only one among the people present that was the right size for Jerry. Additionally, the camera had a 'J' printed on it, indicating that it belonged to Jerry.
"...Do you consider the possibility that I cannot use this size?" After receiving the camera from Jerry, Bai Song silently stared at it for a moment before returning it to Jerry.
Taking back his own camera, Jerry scratched his chin with his left hand.
Not long after, a bright light bulb suddenly appeared above his head, and he had an idea!
"Pop~." The light bulb, symbolizing the idea, suddenly shattered, forming a small white cloud above Jerry's head. It looked somewhat out of place, like a dialogue box in a comic.
Inside this cloud-like dialogue box appeared a pattern of a bicycle pump.

Jerry directly reached into the cloud above his head and pulled out the pump, connecting the air nozzle to the camera he had placed on Bai Song's shoulder.
"Hmph, hiss~ hmph, hiss~ hmph, hiss~." Then, Jerry vigorously pumped air into this super-miniature camera, going up and down with great effort.
In the blink of an eye, the camera, which only Jerry could use due to its size, grew to at least twice his size. The speed at which it enlarged was astonishing.
Bai Song looked at the camera, shook it in his hand, and realized that not only had the size of the camera increased, but even its quality had improved. "...The quality has also increased?"
At first, Bai Song was somewhat shocked, but after careful consideration, he realized that matters such as a violation of quality weren't really a big deal for Tom and Jerry... It wasn't worth considering these trivial matters anymore. Bai Song aimed the lens at Saber.
"Click~."
Perhaps for Bai Song and the others, it was a breathtaking sight. However, for Tom, who was currently on the front lines of the battle, the perception was completely different.
Having just confirmed that he hadn't lost his farewell letter, Tom looked up and saw a radiant light emanating from the girl, who was both inexperienced and playful. Moreover, this light was continuously converging into the Excalibur she held in her hand.
The aura of the sword grew longer and longer, from 10 centimeters... to 30 centimeters... to 100 centimeters, reaching several meters in height.
Tom had no doubt that this sword could become a giant sword measuring 40 meters in length. Looking at the rotten wooden board he held in his hand, Tom's whole body began to tremble, showing extreme panic.
You see, Tom believed that using an inferior weapon would only give him a 50/50 chance against Saber, who used a superior weapon. This was the power comparison he had come up with earlier. However, Saber's current weapon couldn't simply be described as a superior weapon if we're talking about weapons with a few extra turns. It was more like a dragon-slaying sword!
Clearly, Tom would undoubtedly be mercilessly beaten by Saber wielding this sword.
"I'm done for," Tom firmly believed that he was done for unless he could find an escape route.
From Saber's perspective, she could see Tom's legs trembling violently, his left hand in his mouth, his upper and lower teeth constantly biting his nails, and his whole body shrinking.
Seeing the cat, which had just pounced on her, terrified to this extent, Saber's heart was filled with satisfaction, delight, and pure satisfaction!
At this moment, Saber's expression became composed, making it difficult to associate her current state with the earlier panicked version of herself.
Feeling the impending surge of magical power, Saber tightly closed her eyes.
Upon opening her eyes again, an immensely powerful aura emanated from Saber, and a fierce gust of wind blew violently in all directions.
