Chapter 557

[One wall after another is smashed, leaving only the dumbfounded residents of Fuyuki City.]

[He is a human-shaped destruction robot, the Terminator from Greece—Heracles.]

[This day, the houses in Fuyuki City suffered one after another.]

[However, Berserker is busy looking for a shop and seems to have forgotten something again.]

["Ahhhhhhhhhh—"]

[That's right, he is still holding Lancer's leg in his hand.]

[The unlucky Cú Chulainn is dragged and rubbed on the ground constantly, making miserable screams.]

Archer: "Pfft!"

Nameless: "Cough cough, sorry, really pitiful."

Lancer: "Shut up, you guys! Laugh if you want!"

I thought Gilgamesh was unlucky enough, but I didn't expect myself to be even more unlucky than him.]

What kind of sin did I in the video commit!]

"Berserker, look at the back of the note."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Heracles looked at the line of text written on the back of the note.

"If the electronics store isn't open, then go to the department store!"

"AAAAAAA——"

This string of text made Heracles suddenly realize the truth; he instantly became full of vigor, stood up, and roared joyfully.

Cu Chulainn watched Heracles with relief, thinking he could finally leave now.

Then, he was picked up by the other party once again and subjected to a round of wild swinging and smashing.

"Ahhhhhhh——"

Cu Chulainn let out a desperate scream, wondering why he had to have such a big mouth.

Subsequently, Heracles carried Cu Chulainn toward the department store, leaving behind only the dog brother's desperate cries.

"No—go back! Quickly go back!!!"

Everyone: "..."

Scathach: "..."

This disciple of hers is beyond saving; his brain has withered away.

Dog Brother: "..."

Cu Chulainn wished he could rush into the video and give his on-screen self a slap in the face.

Told you to keep your mouth shut! Told you to keep your mouth shut! Told you to keep your mouth shut...

You had a great chance to run, why stay there and court death!

[Arriving at the department store and confirming the home appliance section was on the top floor, Uncle B decided—to jump straight up.]

[Only sissies Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take the stairs; real men rock climb.]

[At this moment, on the rooftop corridor, Medea was wearing a purple knit top, holding a newly purchased sewing machine, with a charming smile on her face.]

["Great, finally bought it, the latest model of sewing machine..."]

["Ahhhhhhh——"]

[Just then, she heard a familiar scream, turned her head to look, and a huge black shadow appeared from the skylight nearby, pressing down on her.]

[Crow Sits on the Plane!]

["Eh? Berserker..."]

[Medea was stunned, caught off guard by this unexpected attack, completely forgetting to dodge.]

[And then, there was no then.]

[Boom——]

[Medea, wiped out!]

[As for how Mother C actually died, everyone can imagine it for themselves.]

Mother C: "..."

Fine, Heracles, to think you would treat me like this!

Even though we are partners on the same boat, I must find a chance to beat up Jason to vent my anger.

[This competition is not mandatory. Those who give up can choose to stay in the audience seats or stay in their own world to watch via video.]

[Group members will have 10 minutes to consider. The Q&A group will start teleporting in 10 minutes.]

[For the sake of the competition's fun, the Q&A group will temporarily provide casual clothes and seal the participants' Noble Phantasms until the competition ends.]

"..."

After reading the rules, Feng Xi and the others looked at each other.

The scavenger hunt game is also a popular game in Japan, usually played by young children to exercise their independence.

From the rules, it is clearly more convenient to form teams.

After all, if you are alone, you can only perform one task at a time, while teams can perform multiple tasks at once, greatly saving time.

And from the rewards, it is also more worthwhile to form teams.

However, there can be at most three people in a group; how should they divide so many people?

"Simple."

Merlin directly conjured a lottery bucket and smiled: "Draw lots!"

Alright, that is indeed the only way.

Once the lot is in hand, there are no returns, so everyone stop complaining.

Soon, the grouping was completed.

Feng Xi drew to be in a group with Gray and Sakura this time.

Sakura was very happy with this result.

It's been three days, and she's finally in a group with Feng Xi.

And Artoria is in a group with Medusa and Merlin this time.

Artoria and Medusa are fine, their mobility is top-notch, but now with Merlin, this slacker, the result is hard to say.

Actually, if Merlin, this guy, didn't slack off, he would run quite fast.

Finally, there is the group of Luvia, Guna, and Kay.

Well, three sharp-tongued people are together; now there's going to be some fun to watch.

10 minutes passed quickly, and Feng Xi and the others were instantly teleported to the "Carnival Phantasm" world.

"???"

The place where the group was teleported to was the familiar pier, and seeing this, Dog Brother felt terrible.

"Hey! Stay away from me!"

At this time, Dog Brother saw Uncle B approaching him and retreated repeatedly in fear, almost screaming out loud.

Clearly, he already has a shadow from Heracles.

No way, he was really treated too miserably in the video.

And Archer, Nameless, and other Shirous on the Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side almost couldn't hold back their laughter seeing this scene.

It's the first time seeing this guy so miserable.

"Truly useless."

Scathach couldn't watch anymore and stepped forward to give Dog Brother a knock on the head.

Too embarrassing, not only embarrassing himself but also her.

By the way, besides Bazett, this group of Dog Brother also includes Scathach.

Cu Chulainn said, it was because I was ignorant before and didn't know how to hug Master's thick thigh, but now I understand.

Of course, his real thought is:

With my Master here, Heracles, come on over (~▽~)ノ!

Sigh... even Bazett felt a bit embarrassed.

"First, absolutely do not act on impulse."

"Second, absolutely do not miss any evil deeds."

"Third, absolutely judge fairly and beautifully."

"Referee Robot Captain Dragonfly, here to see you!"

"I will be the referee for this battle!"

As usual, Captain Dragonfly appeared with his exclusive lines.

This time, Captain Dragonfly was ready as soon as he appeared.

Haha, actually, he just prepared a long table with dozens of envelopes on it.

Next, the contestants will randomly choose one, open it, and go find the item written in the envelope and bring it back. Captain Dragonfly will add one point to the team that finds it.

Of course, if you can't find it and want to give up, you will be deducted one point.

Finally, it's naturally about counting scores to see who wins.

It's almost 1 o'clock, and the end time is set at 3 o'clock, a 2-hour competition time.

There's no need to make this kind of competition last so long; it's easy to get bored if it's too long.

"Alright, everyone, please come up and draw your envelopes."

Captain Dragonfly instructed: "Line up and don't crowd. The competition won't start for another 10 minutes. Everyone, draw an equal number according to the number of people in your team."

"Hmm."

Everyone chose a representative to come forward and draw.

This time, almost everyone chose to form teams of three, even Gilgamesh formed a team with Zabiko and didn't choose to go solo.

"What is this?"

Opening the envelope Feng Xi brought back, Sakura couldn't help but frown, and Gray was also confused.

Feng Xi smiled helplessly after reading it; he knew this competition wouldn't be that simple.

Artoria has eaten a portion of curry; this should be referring to that restaurant in the video before.

This is still considered simple; it is known that the restaurant is on the shopping street, and the envelope also included the funds needed to buy the curry.

One AAA battery; is this mocking Heracles?

However, the rest is a bit too much.

One wedding dress exclusive to Artoria.

What is this?

Artoria's exclusive wedding dress; could this be the one she was changed into after Mother C took control of Artoria in the original work?

No, where am I supposed to find this thing!

No, wait a minute...

In this world, in Mother C's collection room at Ryudoji Temple, there seems to be a pile of King's merchandise; maybe it's there.

But doing this is no different from pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

Daring to rob Mother C's collection, I'm afraid one's bones would be smashed by her.

You have to know that their Noble Phantasms are sealed, but Mother C in this world doesn't have hers sealed.

Damn it, this is simply playing with people.

Looking at the others, everyone's expressions are very strange; it seems that the items they drew are the same as theirs.

Sakura: "Senior, what should we do?"

"Hmm..."

Feng Xi thought for a while and said: "You go buy the curry and the battery, leave the wedding dress to me."

Sakura/Gray: "Hmm, we understand."

Immediately, Feng Xi found Artoria and borrowed Lion Saber from her.

He planned to use a diversionary tactic, and Lion Saber is the best bait to attract Mother C.

"Alright, time's up, the competition officially begins!"

Following Captain Dragonfly's order, everyone set off, and for a moment, it was like a dance of demons.

Especially the groups of Artoria, Gilgamesh, and the Emperor, who rushed out accompanied by the roar of motorcycles.

Although they are forbidden from using Noble Phantasms, other things are not.

Feng Xi drew a God-Speed Talisman for Sakura and Gray, and the two also rushed toward the shopping street like lightning, their speed not losing to other groups at all.

Feng Xi also seized the time to set off and soon arrived at the Ryudoji Temple of this world.

The gatekeeper was dutifully squatting in front of the gate, looking at the tin tent and bonfire next to the gate; those who didn't know would think he was a homeless person from somewhere.

"I'll leave it to you, Saber Lion."

Feng Xi released Lion Saber and said: "Don't worry, I'll have delicious food ready for you when you get back, guaranteed enough to eat."

"Hmm, hmm."

Lion Saber nodded, sucked the drool from the corner of her mouth, and walked toward the gate of Ryudoji Temple.

The gatekeeper was stunned the moment he saw Lion Saber.

"Is that Saber? What the hell is this outfit you're wearing?"

"Awoo!!!"

"w(?Д?)w Ahhh!!!"

The unprepared gatekeeper was knocked down by Lion Saber just like that, and after a few claws, his face became a mess.

And Mother C, who came out after hearing the commotion, had her eyes shining the moment she saw Lion Saber, and her heart was about to be melted by the cuteness.

"Kojiro, catch it for me!"

Mother C pulled out a dog-catching net from somewhere and rushed toward the gate.

With her vision as a Jewel Jewel Mage of the Age of Gods, she could naturally see that Lion Saber was not a Heroic Spirit but a Phantasmal Species, which made her want to catch Lion Saber even more.

Holding a living Lion Saber is better than those cold figures, right?

Unfortunately, Kojiro had no time to pay attention to her at this time; his face had been scratched like this, so how could he dare to provoke this big cat.

Lion Saber also turned around and ran into the mountain forest according to the plan, successfully luring Mother C away.

Seeing the plan succeed, Feng Xi dived into the Imaginary Number Space and entered Ryudoji Temple.

Feng Xi had already used that "Imaginary Number Attribute" craft essence card back then; now he has both "Void" and "Nothingness" attributes.

Feng Xi can avoid Mother C's magic barrier through the Imaginary Number Space and enter her collection room without alerting her.

As for the collection room, there shouldn't be any barriers there; this can also be seen in "Carnival Phantasm", even Issei Ryudo, the brother-in-law, can enter at will.
