Type Moon, My servant is Tom Chapter 110

Chapter 119: Gill, the Unexpected Possessor of the Holy Grail?!

"Ho... ho... holy..." Zhuge Liang wiped his mouth with his sleeve, his eyes wide open as he stared at the TV screen, momentarily stuttering. "Holy Grail?!" Waver, beside him, also wore a shocked expression, though fortunately, he didn't stutter like Zhuge Liang. "And it's on TV?! Why?!"

Although an unnamed sense of panic rose within him, Waver couldn't shake the feeling of déjà vu. If he remembered correctly, every time a similar situation occurred back in Chaldea, he would be relentlessly sacrificed by the conniving Chen Gong, who accompanied Gudako. The intensity was on an entirely different level from their usual encounters. On regular days, he would be sacrificed about twenty times on average. But in situations like this, the number of sacrifices would skyrocket to hundreds per day!

Despite the overwhelming fear in his heart, Zhuge Liang took several deep breaths and tried to persuade Waver, albeit in an extremely uncomposed manner. He wasn't just calming Waver down; he was also convincing himself. "Sta... sta... stay calm. Think carefully. It must be a coincidence with the names!"

Snap back to reality, Waver also regained his composure and said after collecting himself, "You're right. It must be a coincidence with the names. How could the Holy Grail possibly appear on TV? The Holy Church would never allow it."

Yeah, how could it be possible?

While the two were trying to reassure themselves, the news on the TV didn't stop but continued to report. This time, large letters appeared on the screen, displaying the title of the so-called competitive tournament.

【Battle in FUYUKI 2012】

A normal title, but... following the title, a red curtain rose, revealing a familiar figure standing behind it—the golden-haired man in a leopard-print suit. Everything took an abnormal turn.

As Zhuge Liang stared at the screen, the lenses of his glasses cracked, and his entire face darkened. "I hereby declare that this festival will determine the strongest Servant beneath the King of Heroes!"

The man in the leopard-print suit crossed his arms over his chest, lifted his head high, and looked at the camera with a smirk. He burst into laughter, saying, "Enjoy yourselves, you mongrels! Hu-hu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

"Listen well, you heroic spirits in front of the screen! You conceited heroic spirits!"

"If you consider yourself the mightiest heroic spirit, then come to the 'EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise' and participate in this tournament. Win the competition and claim your rightful reward!"

"The ultimate victor will obtain the all-powerful wish-granting machine—the Holy Grail!"

"Hu-hu-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

As the leopard-print suit man continued his arrogant laughter, the red curtain with the title dropped again. "What...?" Waver, utterly bewildered from start to finish, didn't snap out of it until the golden-haired man's grand exit. It took him a while to process what the man had said, and Waver exclaimed in a perplexed and shocked manner, "He said they were Servants? And the winner will obtain the Holy Grail?!"

"Ss... Sigh~" Zhuge Liang trembled as he held his cigar. After taking a puff and exhaling smoke, he responded with a face full of melancholy, "I believe so."

"Why? Hey, why is this happening on TV?!" Waver spread his hands in disbelief and asked, "Wasn't the Holy Grail War supposed to be conducted in secrecy? Where are the essential conditions for secrecy?"

Waver felt like he was increasingly unable to comprehend the Holy Grail War he had joined. But Zhuge Liang was different. He gradually became melancholic because he understood the current situation all too well. The sense of déjà vu had reached its peak.

If he failed to realize what would happen next, then he would have wasted all those years in Chaldea. There was no doubt that an "event" was about to unfold. And during every "event," he reached the peak of his duties.

Just a few days ago, before coming to this world, he had been lying in Chaldea's intensive care unit precisely because an "event" had just ended. Being on high alert during those periods naturally landed him in the ICU.

In other words, if Chaldea was starting a new "event" now, it meant that Chaldea would undoubtedly return to this world. And this time, Chaldea's demon, Gudako, would surely be the first to capture him. No matter where he fled in this world, there was no way he could escape.

Zhuge Liang knew Gudako very well. Perhaps Gudako was only moderately proactive when it came to saving the world, but when it came to gathering "materials" during an "event," her level of enthusiasm could be described as fanaticism. And as a "procurement specialist," he was undoubtedly the target for her.

In other words, this situation... was a complete dead end!

Thinking about his miserable future, Zhuge Liang smiled as if his soul had turned to ashes. With hollow eyes, he looked at Waver and said, "It's alright. It's all normal. If the Holy Grail War isn't normal, then this is normal."

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Waver's mouth twitched several times. What did he mean by saying that as long as it's not normal, then it's normal?

"Never mind." Waver shook his head, pushing aside all the jumbled information in his mind. After a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind and said, "Regardless of everything, since this news can be broadcasted, it means that it's tacitly approved by the Holy Church. So, it's necessary for me to wade into this mess."

The man earlier mentioned it—the ultimate winner will obtain the Holy Grail. In other words... the person who secretly stole the Holy Grail before, that guy with the hideous leopard-print suit and golden hair, is the same person hosting this bizarre competition now! Waver wondered why he discreetly took the Holy Grail but suddenly decided to hold some kind of ridiculous tournament and offer the Holy Grail as a prize. Did he lose his mind or something? Waver had no idea what he was up to!

When things deviate from the norm, there must be something suspicious. Waver suspected that there was definitely something fishy going on. However... what if he actually obtains it? Waver had an unwavering determination to obtain the Holy Grail. He would not allow himself to return to London empty-handed, not only for his own sake but also because he had debts to his classmates.

Therefore, for the upcoming tournament, he had to participate no matter what. He would take the risk, even if it meant going from riding a bicycle to a motorcycle. What if he actually emerged victorious? Besides, having two Servants gave him a significant advantage. How could he lose with the strong line on his side?!
