Chapter 111: Gill's Era Has Arrived!
Upon realizing Gudako's abnormal growth once again, Kongming's heart was filled with horror. He never expected that Gudako would develop to such an extent.
Previously, he believed that while Gudako may have some eccentricities, it wouldn't amount to abnormality. Even if he considered Gudako's favorite Servant, a creature with the lower body of a horse, upper body of a human, and a horse's head, it could only be regarded as a unique preference, not necessarily abnormal.
But today, at this very moment, his perception of Gudako completely changed. He suddenly discovered just how twisted Gudako truly was.
Kongming, at this point, once again entertained the idea of escaping from Fuyuki.
Fear overwhelmed him.
Gudako not only showed no mercy towards Chen Gong but also towards Mashu... No, it's not just about Mashu, she showed no mercy even towards herself.
If he were to fall into the hands of this kind of Gudako, his fate would be far from simply escaping from Chaldea one day and being blown up dozens of times. There would probably be even more horrifying things waiting for him.
After all, only someone who could be merciless towards themselves could be truly ruthless to others.
If she could kill herself without hesitation, then she would be even more cruel to him, who was merely used as a 'lever' in her daily life.
"Kongming, what's wrong with you? You seem a bit off," Alexander, who was enjoying the fireworks beside him, noticed Kongming's strange demeanor and asked in surprise. It was the first time he had seen the usually calm strategist show such an expression.
Kongming wiped off his sweat and had already made up his mind to make his escape. "I'm fine... probably fine..."
"...Probably?" Alexander raised an eyebrow, but he didn't pay too much attention to the matter. Instead, he continued to admire the fireworks in the sky. To him, it was just a simple fireworks display.
To the point that he almost forgot that they were all here, stationed to resist Chaldea.
——————————————————
The perspective once again shifts to the top floor of the Fuyuki Hotel, specifically to the Emperor-class penthouse suite constructed on an additional floor.
*Applause*
"Well done!" Gill applauded as he watched the fireworks blooming before him. A slight curve formed at the corner of his mouth, followed by an unrestrained burst of laughter. "Hahaha!"
At this very moment, Gill was undoubtedly filled with joy, the kind that lifts one's spirits. This was the scene he witnessed when he was summoned to this place one year ago, as seen through 'The Omniscient Omnipotent Star.'
However, at that time, he saw not six fireworks, but seven. He himself was among the fireworks, and from his perspective, the soaring monkey he was bound to was golden in color, seemingly a deliberate mockery by the person who ignited it.
The words "EUO Special" were written in large white-bordered golden letters. (EUO = Eiyū-Ō = King of Heroes)
The force behind such specialized mockery was overpowering. Gill had no intention of being bound to that soaring monkey, even if it meant facing death. To him, as the King of Heroes, it would be utterly shameful to become a firework.
But now, the fireworks had ascended, and he no longer had that concern!
"Finally... my era has finally arrived!" Gill murmured to himself, stretching out his arms contentedly. "Hahaha!"
He had waited a full year for this day, for the day that confirmed the vision he had foreseen. How did he spend that entire year, you may wonder? Gill spent each day squatting at home, playing games incessantly for 365 days straight, to the point of feeling nauseated, all for the sake of this day.
Starting today, he no longer needed to worry about ending up like the future he had observed—arrogant but ultimately turning into a firework and being launched into the sky, becoming a dazzling fireworks display.
In other words, he could now indulge without consequences, indulging to the point of soaring without being turned into a firework.
And the coastal amusement park was constructed specifically for his purpose of indulgence.
As for why the opening time was described as "recent days," it was simply because he wasn't certain when the fireworks show would occur. Moreover, he didn't pay close attention, as paying too much attention would spoil the fun, wouldn't it?
Nevertheless, he estimated that it would certainly be within the seven days of the Holy Grail War, and indeed, reality proved him right.
And now, with the fireworks show concluded and everyone in Chaldea having become fireworks, his "EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise" could officially commence its operations!
It is somewhat inaccurate to refer to it as an amusement park. In reality, Gill has established a small coastal city located approximately 5 kilometers from Fuyuki City. The scale of this city is about half the size of Fuyuki City.
The construction scale is significant enough to be called "EUO City" or perhaps "New Uruk." It boasts a variety of food streets, hotel districts, and pedestrian streets, collectively known as the "EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise," a result of Gill's low-key approach.
Now that the prophecy has come to pass, from this moment onward, he can finally be outrageously extravagant! Gill has decided to hold an unprecedented opening ceremony tomorrow or the day after, followed by a super-duper luxurious grand competition, with prizes directly sourced from his treasury as the King.
And the ultimate reward for this seaside grand competition... is the Holy Grail!
"Your era? Is there a new game about to be released?" Sakura, who was playing with a doll nearby, immediately asked in response to Gill's random statement.
In the past year, Gill had spent his time playing games in this suite. He once set a record by playing games continuously for 35 days, with hardly any breaks in between. The only interruption to his continuous gaming session was the trailer for a new game called "Love for Her 5."
Sakura remembered that Gill had said something like, "Ho~? Is a new storm about to reign over this world? In that case, let this king be the first to bear it all. Huhahaha!"
And now, Gill had once again uttered words similar to those he used when watching the trailer for "Love for Her 5," even the tone was reminiscent.
Sakura's initial reaction was that this guy had come across another new game he wanted to play.
"Vulgar! Vulgar! Vulgar!" Upon hearing Sakura's words, Gill furrowed his brow and exclaimed loudly, "Sakura, what do you take me for?!"
Sakura tilted her head and tentatively said, "A gaming otaku?"
