Chapter 637

I knew it—I have a deep bond with Penacony. It's just that the way they stamped the competition qualification onto me really annoys me. Sandgold's face darkened as he snorted in displeasure.

Translation: ""I knew it; my connection with Pinokangni is deep. It's just that the way they stamped the eligibility onto me really annoys me." Shajin snorted, face displeased."

The way they stamped the competition qualification onto me really annoys me.

Speaking of friends, a potential ally (Boteo) is also here. It's obvious we can't establish any official relations with them… but fortunately they previously exchanged information with you, building some trust. I hope you can take this Holy Grail War opportunity to deepen your friendship with them.

It's obvious we can't have any official dealings with him, but fortunately he previously exchanged information with you, building some trust.

Thus: ""Speaking of friends, a potential friend (Bo Ti Ou) is also here.

I hope you can use this Holy Grail War opportunity to deepen your friendship with them.""

deepen some friendship

Shajin gave a slight nod: "As you wish."

: —— => "——"

Absolute Zero.

What's there to compare? Might as well just give the Holy Grail to Shajin! This old Otto is really sweet talk!! He actually sent an invitation to someone like Shajin—doesn't he know the purpose of the Foundation Stone? Is this sweet talk of his!!

In the barracks of the Defense Force, Guihuo was cursing and grumbling, seeming quite displeased.

Inviting Shajin to join the Holy Grail War feels like we had clearly said it was an internal drill of the Defense Force, but then the opponent was suddenly changed to that Xu Shou from the Anti-Air Sixth Section.

Anyone who can use even part of a Commander-level ability should be barred from participating! Even if he summons only a Servant with ordinary combat power, his overall strength is still a tier above—totally unfair!

"All right, Captain Guihuo, the Holy Grail War is a commercial activity, so there's no need to take it so seriously," Opheus hurriedly advised, "and that function of granting any wish is obviously just a commercial gimmick."

Banji also felt the Holy Grail was a bit strange: "Indeed, if the power of that bottle Holy Grail truly could grant any wish, then if Shajin wished for 'a reunion with his deceased family,' how would the Holy Grail fulfill that? Even if the Star God personally descended, such a resurrection is impossible, right?"

"Mm~ If the Holy Grail can grant any wish, can I wish for ten more wishes?"

Guihuo gave a cold smile: "Heh, even one wish isn't guaranteed to come true, let alone ten. Now that Shajin has joined, if he gets serious, I wonder how this Holy Grail War will end."

——

"Is… someone from the Strategic Investment Department also going to join?"

When Si Ke Te saw a P45 and a P46, the small spark of hope that had just barely risen in his heart instantly went out with a "whoosh."

"Is Mr. Si Ke Te afraid? As a member of the Market Development Department, they can't reach over here, can they?"

"That's right, Mr. Otto. Besides, with your backing, even if it's Louis·Fleming…"

Old Otto laughed heartily: "Heh heh heh heh, let Louis·Fleming rest well. Mr. Si Ke Te, the company is merely a choice in the vast galaxy. Sometimes we need to fight for a chance to soar. I'm rooting for you!"

Si Ke Te came before the second TV, inside which was the image of Zhigengniao and Putou.

Upon learning Putou's purpose for staying here, Zhigengniao was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Putou, are you also here to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

"Huh? Why are you so surprised? Shouldn't I be participating?"

Zhigengniao shook his head: "I certainly didn't mean that… or rather, I did mean that… As far as I know, the Holy Grail War should have only sent invitations to the heads of families, company executives, and the Astral Express—in other words, the decision-makers of Pinokangni."

"I, Mr. Pam, am not a member of the Astral Express?" Putou gave a hehe laugh.

"I didn't mean it that way!"

"Haha, just joking. I don't know what came over them, but that old cuteie also sent an invitation to Liúmèng Jiāo. Mika was worried things would turn out like before—those upstairs having fun while those downstairs get stabbed. So he forwarded the invitation to me, saying I'd be interested."

"I understand, Mr. Mika can be said to be indirectly asking for your help."

——

Offering blessings for a beautiful world.

"Even Putou is joining? This…"

Si Ke Te probably isn't the weakest, most powerless Master among this group, right?

Even Hezhen couldn't help feeling pity for him.

Xing, Putou, Shajin… these Masters all seem overly strong no matter how you look at them; although Si Ke Te summoned an "Assassin," each of those three feels capable of killing his Servant right in front of him.

Here there are those hunting Commanders, those who have been glanced at by the Star God and fought Commanders, and those who have been granted Commander authority… He can't even imagine how heaven-defying Geleidi's abilities must be to beat these three in the Holy Grail War.

Just Putou alone could take down Si Ke Te single-handedly, and if you gave him a Servant to help…

"Although the Holy Grail War promises an opportunity to 'grant any wish,' do these people really have the intention to earnestly pursue that wish?" Aqua discovered a blind spot and suddenly asked.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Putou is going to help Mika, Shajin mainly wants to build some friendship with Putou, Zhigengniao hasn't said what wish she wants… but based on our understanding of her, she doesn't seem like the type to pin her hopes on others.

After all, it seems that aside from Xing and Si Ke Te, the others aren't that keen on the Holy Grail.

"You can't say that either—what if Putou gets the Holy Grail and wishes for the original doctor to drop dead on the spot?"

Hezhen shook his head: "Randomly wishing for that actually makes sense; Putou… would probably wish for Oswald Schneider to explode on the spot."

——

"Reasonable, I suppose I could count as a hero who saved Pinokangni twice! Whether it's Xingqiri or the monkey…"

Upon mentioning Xingqiri, Zhigengniao's face instantly changed, turning somewhat pale as she looked away.

Putou also immediately realized his slip of the tongue and hurriedly apologized: "Tsk, look at my foul mouth for bringing this up—sorry. I have no interest in any Holy Grail of boo-hoo beloved, but the Holy Grail War? That sounds damn dangerous."

"Indeed, I feel the same."

"Summoning the dead from graves to slaughter each other, then the winner takes all? This rule of the beastly nose is utterly incompatible with my tastes—typical corporate cutie thinking. Since I've accepted Mika's request for help, I'll give it my all, lest things spiral out of control."

"All right, time to get ready." Putou turned to leave, "Next I'll summon the heroic spirits according to the invitation's instructions. See you!"
