Type Moon, My servant is Tom Chapter 178

 Chapter 28: This Cat, Terrifying as It Is

"Caster, what are you doing?" As they walked on the pedestrian bridge, Merlin, who was in front, suddenly stopped and raised his hands, looking towards the distance. Iris, feeling puzzled, asked.

Upon hearing Iris's question, Merlin stopped his waving gesture to the distance and turned around to answer her, sounding quite matter-of-fact. "Huh? Oh, I was just saying hello."

"Hello... Does that mean Kiritsugu is up there?!" As soon as Iris heard Merlin's tone, she immediately thought that Kiritsugu must be up there. She quietly confirmed with Merlin.

"No, it's not Kiritsugu. It's another Servant. Look, they are coming over." Merlin smiled and pointed towards the sky, where Mashu was carrying Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Huh? So, you're calling other Servants over?!" Upon hearing Merlin's words, Iris was taken aback. She realized that the Servant beside her was colluding with others. She had thought he was unreliable, but now she felt that Merlin was beyond unreliable.

"What are you even thinking... We should leave here quickly. You haven't even started constructing the defensive position. If we end up fighting with the Servants, we'll undoubtedly be defeated."

"Don't worry, don't worry. They're not enemies... probably." At first, Merlin sounded confident, but with the last statement, he instantly became vague, giving off an extremely unreliable feeling.

"And look, it's too late. They have already arrived~."

"..." Upon hearing this, Iris looked at Merlin in shock and remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a word.

As Merlin said, Mashu soon landed about 5 meters away from Merlin and Iris, gently setting Fujimaru Ritsuka down. The landing was smooth and stable, completely different from Tom's free fall from tens of meters up, accelerating to supersonic speeds.

If we were to compare it to a diving score, this side would definitely get a perfect score, while Tom's side... would be a laughing stock. The judges wouldn't even have time to score before being blown away by the shockwave.

"Good evening, may I ask if you are..." After carefully placing Fujimaru Ritsuka on the ground, Mashu greeted Merlin and was about to confirm if it was really him.

Before Mashu could say the word 'Merlin,' he couldn't wait and started introducing himself, completely disregarding Iris's horrified expression upon hearing Merlin directly reveal his true name. "That's right! I'm Merlin ☆ Onii-chan! Just call me Merlin!"

"Merlin, die, Foo~!" Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to speak, suddenly Fou leaped out and flew straight towards Merlin's face with unparalleled resentment, aiming for a flying kick.

"Ahaha! This time, I was prepared..." Upon seeing this, Merlin, who had already been on guard after the previous flying kick, decisively extended his hand, attempting to calmly block Fou.

But then... Fou simply phased through Merlin's hand and once again landed a perfect hit on Merlin's left cheek.

"Blrguh?!"

The perspective returns to the haunted old house, where Bai Song is temporarily staying. At this moment, there is a slightly heavy atmosphere inside the house. One person, one cat, and one mouse sit around the coffee table, all resting their chins on their hands, wearing solemn expressions.

"I think it's necessary to temporarily halt your internal conflict," Bai Song finally breaks the silence, looking around at the crumbling walls. He speaks sincerely from his heart.

However, Tom and Jerry just glance at each other and snort before avert their gazes. The tension between them is so palpable that it feels like they could resume fighting at any moment.

Seeing the actions of the cat and mouse, Bai Song can't help but cover his face, completely dumbfounded.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a piece of the ceiling above falls down, landing next to the three of them. However, they have grown accustomed to such occurrences, so they barely react.

After all... the entire house is in a sorry state. Yes, the entire house is in a state of disarray!

Just a moment ago, they were enjoying their dinner peacefully. But somehow, Tom and Jerry started fighting over a piece of fish, escalating from playful hits to a full-blown chase throughout the house in a swift manner!

They even started throwing bombs at each other, and the fallen piece of ceiling was the result of one of those explosions. It's truly unfortunate that such a small thumb-sized bomb caused such extensive damage.

For a moment, Bai Song was worried that he might meet his end here. Fortunately, it seems that the bomb wouldn't harm him much, aside from giving him an explosive hairstyle and making him emit smoke from his mouth. Other than that, he wasn't injured.

However, it's a different story for the building itself. The entire structure of the house was nearly destroyed by the blast.

Bai Song had no doubt that if he let them continue fighting, not only would the house be blown away, but he would also have to worry about the entire Fuyuki City being reduced to rubble. This was no longer a matter of saving the world; it was more like the world being destroyed.

In the end, unable to stop them, Bai Song realizes that this is no ordinary brawl; he must use a powerful spell. Reluctantly, he decides to use the Command Seal to put an end to their desires to fight.

The price is indeed too high. Originally having only three Command Seals, Bai Song now has only two left after using one at the very beginning. This is not a matter of being unwilling to use them; it's akin to cutting his own flesh from Bai Song's heart.

"Look, I even used one Command Seal, and there are still several days of battles ahead," Bai Song exclaimed, waving his right hand's back, which now displayed two Command Seals and a shallow Holy Mark.

Upon hearing this, Tom turned around and revealed a disdainful expression, thinking it was no big deal. He reached behind himself and pulled out a red pen. Then, he stood up, walked over to Bai Song's side, and calmly began modifying the shallow Holy Mark with the red pen. In less than a second, a fresh new command seal appeared on Bai Song's hand back.

"What? How can it... work by just drawing it?" Bai Song was about to sarcastically comment that "It's not a tattoo but a magical crystallization; simply drawing it won't do anything," when suddenly, he heard a sound in his mind.

Upon opening the panel, he discovered that the pattern that had only two Command Seals had once again returned to three!

"What the...?"
