Chapter 632

At the same time, Luanpo stood on the building's rooftop, overlooking the City of Beautiful Dreams.
"Yo, Toad Ninja." Luanpo turned, seeing the man approach her from behind.
Ruike sighed lightly: "I really wish you'd call me something else in the next scene, my good actor. Are you the only one?"
Every ninja-errant has their own quarry; Your Highness Yinqiang·Xiuluo is just helping out as a favor. What do you need, Your Excellency?
"Hehe, you helped me film such an amazing video; I'm here to pay you."
Luanpo shook his head. "No thanks needed; I roam only for the ninja way in my heart, never greedy for wealth."
"Don't say that—you'll definitely be interested in this payment, because here's what it entails…" Ruike paused, his scarlet eyes narrowing as he seemed to relish personally driving the film to its climax.
"——Regarding the whereabouts of the Original Doctor."

Fate/Weigong household's meal.
"Oh oh oh! The whereabouts of the Original Doctor!"
Yuanban Lin's eyes lit up, her hands clasped in eager anticipation. "So Xing and the others are going to deal with the Original Doctor next, right? And this'll be a great show of taking on the Envoy!"

If we could also bring in Lady Black Tower to handle this Original Doctor, that would be ideal; she's wondering what kind of sparks will fly when the two Wisdom Envoys collide.
"Aren't you worried meme viruses will infect you again through the sky?" Acher said, arms crossed. "The biggest threat right now is meme viruses and the power of the Void Path; as long as we don't see another spectacle on the scale of a Phantasm Burst Star, there's nothing special to worry about."
Saber finished his cup of noodles, looking satisfied. "Ah… it's great not being able to smell banana; even the cup noodles taste delicious now."
"Saber, eat a little less—we'll have grilled fish later." Just then, Shiro poked his head out of
"Gee, having me run errands is pretty convenient." Yuanban Lin complained, but she actually got up from the warm kotatsu, put on her slippers, and walked to the kitchen.
The two of them were briefly busy in the kitchen; Shirou plated the last vegetable salad, while Yuanban Lin carefully carried the steaming soup bowl and the fragrant grilled fish.
"Alright, dinner is served!" Shirou wiped his hands with an apron as he and Lin headed to the living room.
However, the moment they reached the kotatsu, both of them were dumbfounded.
Just moments ago lively beside the kotatsu, now it was completely empty.
Archer, Lancer, and even Saber, who was most obsessed with eating, had vanished without a trace.
On the kotatsu table sat four cups of steaming tea, and Saber's cup of noodles still had a pair of chopsticks on it.
"Acher, quit joking around and come out."
Lin placed the dishes on the low table, looked around the empty room, and scratched her head in confusion: "Strange, I can't sense Acher's magic anymore."
"Lin, me too." A bead of cold sweat trickled down Shirou's cheek. "I can't feel my connection to Saber either—what on earth is going on…?"
They… disappeared?
—— (separator). No names.
"Star."
After the opening ceremony ended, Zhigengniao went backstage to find Star, saying there was an important matter to discuss with her.
Lao Aodi has recently been preparing a business event called the Holy Grail War, hoping to invite her and a representative from the Train Team to participate, to promote the event. It's said that upon victory, the Holy Grail War can grant a wish—any wish at all—and I don't know if Star is interested.
"Grant any wish?"
Star's eyes widened instantly.
"How do I sign up?"
Zhigengniao smiled gently: "No need to rush; you can come with me to meet Lao Aodi. Apparently we'll also receive something called a Command Spell, since this is Pinokangni's first Holy Grail War, and there's an interview to attend as well."

"What are they saying?! Holy Grail War?! In a place like that?! What kind of joke is this?!"
Leaving aside how they obtained that Holy Grail, the Holy Grail War has always been conducted in secret from the public, yet now it's being flaunted openly… or using a "business activity" as a gimmick—either way it looks strange.
"Huh?" Conqueror King Yisikanda'er sitting opposite folded his hands on the map, his rugged face showing great interest: "Hey kid, what's going on with their Holy Grail War over there? Why is the Holy Grail in someone else's hands?"
"This… I've never heard of that either, but it seems the Holy Grail is in the hands of that merchant Lao Aodi. I also can't fathom why the Holy Grail would be in a merchant's possession… wait—having the Holy Grail appear in Pinokangni itself is already strange! And they even have Command Spells?"
"Kid, your intelligence work is terrible—you can't even gather information on the enemy."
"The enemy? How could that kind of person be an enemy! They're… separated by a…"
"If they're fighting over the same Holy Grail as us, then they're our enemies!" The Great Emperor raised his voice, though he wasn't angry; instead he let out a booming laugh: "But this is indeed interesting! Very interesting!! This King's sought-after Holy Grail has, in another world, become a rare commodity in merchants' hands? To hold… well, a 'business activity'?"
He stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming with the curiosity and excitement of a conqueror exploring unknown territories.
"So, what kind of servant has Star summoned? A hero from the Train Team? Or a hero from Pinokangni? If their war is merely a business venture, then their purpose is likely completely different from ours."
—— (separator).
"As Pinokangni's previous superstar, Star was once the focus of everyone's attention."
"And now, the unprecedented inaugural Pinokangni Holy Grail War is about to begin, and Star has once again returned to the public eye."
"Come on, sisters, show the audience what you have in your hand… what's this called… a tattoo?"
Sangbo zoomed the camera in a bit, moving from her close-up face down to the bright red mark on the back of her hand.
"It's a Command Spell!" Star exclaimed, hands on her hips in triumph.
"That's right, Command Spell! As proof of qualification for being selected to participate in the Holy Grail War, it is said that by its power, you can command famous figures from Pinokangni's history to fight for you!"
