Chapter 120 - Blue Lancer·Peril!
At the same moment Waver saw the news, Masters from various places also witnessed Gill's shocking declaration. Among them was a man dressed in a deep blue robe, residing in the Fuyuki Grand Hotel, just like Gill.
"Hahaha, Sola, did you see that? We haven't completely failed yet." Kayneth couldn't help but display a delighted smile as he watched the red curtain rise again on the television screen.
Early in the morning, he heard that the Holy Grail had been taken away by an outsider, and he was greatly disappointed, thinking he would return to the Clock Tower empty-handed. This would be a significant blow to the reputation of a Clock Tower Lord.
A Lord of the Clock Tower coming to participate in such a remote area's Magecraft Friendship Tournament but failing to claim the championship would undoubtedly attract mockery from many other lecturers when he returned to the Clock Tower.
After being thrashed on the first day, the two of them deliberated and decided to wait until the last few days of the Holy Grail War to join the battle. By that time, there would only be a few Servants left. And guess what? He would have two Servants in his hands—checkmate!
Unfortunately, their plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Before they could bide their time for a few days, the Holy Grail was already taken away. Kayneth was truly impressed by that outsider.
Sitting on the nearby couch, Sola glanced at Kayneth skeptically and asked, "Are you sure you can win? Your Servant almost got killed in the first battle, remember?"
"That was an accident. This time, I am certain I can obtain the Holy Grail!" Kayneth stood up, opened his arms, and looked confidently at Sola. "You must understand that our side has two Servants, and they are both extraordinary Servants from the Age of Gods. How could we possibly lose?"
"Indeed, having two Servants on one side is a significant advantage, and your Faker combined with my Servant—Cú Chulainn, the Irish Son of Light from the Lancer Class—seems to have a very high chance of winning." Solah gently touched the Command Seals on the back of her right hand and continued, "However, a high chance of winning doesn't guarantee victory. I suggest you understand that distinction."
She originally had no intention of participating in the Holy Grail War, and logically, there were no available slots for her to join. However, as soon as she arrived in Fuyuki, three Command Seals appeared on the back of her right hand.
Furthermore, she was supposed to supply mana to Kayneth's Servant, but inexplicably, she became a Master herself and summoned Cú Chulainn, the Son of Light from Ireland.
"Speaking of which, where did your Lancer go?" Kayneth looked around and finally asked Sola.
As soon as Sola heard Kayneth mention her Servant, she felt a headache coming on. "Well... that guy... seeing that we were prepared and not participating in the battle for now, he just went off to that seaside amusement park on the television."
He actually put on a blue Hawaiian shirt and happily went on vacation. Just the thought of her Servant made her scalp tingle.
Who has a Servant that disobeys their master's commands and goes on vacation during the Holy Grail War?
"Well, isn't that perfect? It's a good opportunity for him to gather some information!" Upon hearing Sola's words, Kayneth's immediate reaction was, "Reliable, indeed, really reliable!"
He even wanted to exchange Servants with Sola. Cú Chulainn seemed so much stronger than his own Faker. After all, Cú Chulainn's reputation was much more illustrious than Hephaestion's!
If they exchanged Servants and he took command of Cú Chulainn, it would be a sure victory. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible.
Since the Lancer had already gone to that so-called "EUO Super Deluxe Seaside Paradise," it would be a good opportunity for him to investigate the situation, to see if that outsider really took the Holy Grail and now a new Holy Grail War was being held.
If that was the case, then tomorrow he would decisively take his Faker and participate in this Holy Grail War.
In his opinion, the Holy Grail War should be done like this. The previous traditional rules of the Holy Grail War were unclear, but this competition-style was much better. At least that's what Kayneth believed.

In Chaldea, inside the infirmary.
"Doctor, how could you be so careless? You hit your head on the table because you choked on your coffee." Sitting on the left side of the hospital bed, Gudako held Roman's left hand with a concerned expression.
"Ah... I'm sorry for causing you trouble. You should have been resting after fixing the Singularity," Roman replied.
"It's alright, it's the least I can do!" Holding Roman's left hand, Gudako observed if there were any signs of him lying, and with a sincere face, she asked, "Do you remember what happened back then?"
"Ouch... I think I don't remember anything. Right now, all I feel is a headache," Roman said, covering his forehead with his right hand.
For some reason, he had a constant feeling that he had forgotten something extremely important.
But... even if it was something important, his brain kept warning him not to try to remember the lost memory, or else something terrible would happen.
For the sake of his future... no, for the sake of continuing to shine and make a difference in saving the world, Roman decisively chose not to dwell on this issue.
What Roman didn't know was that his decision was absolutely right, preventing him from possible harm for a second time.
"Is that so? That's great!" Feeling no slight movement in Roman's left hand, Gudako instantly felt relieved. It meant that Roman truly forgot about watching that video and why he was lying in the infirmary.
With that thought, Gudako let out a sigh of relief, as if she had released a burden, and wiped away the nonexistent sweat on her forehead with her right hand.
Although she hadn't done anything today except for hitting someone, she had still worked hard!
Roman tilted his head, looking confused. "What's so great?"
"Oh, it's nothing, don't worry about it," Gudako replied. She was ready to retreat now that she was certain Roman didn't remember what happened. She could prepare to make her escape.
"Well, Doctor, you should rest for now. Da Vinci is handling things in the control room, so everything will be fine, my kouhai," Gudako said.
"Snap!" Just then, the door to the infirmary opened.
Standing outside was Mashu.
She had sweat all over her, hastily holding onto the doorframe and shouted to Gudako, "Something big has happened, senpai! There's a major problem!"
