Chapter 66

~8 min read 1,514 words

Feng Xi: "Then thank you very much."

On the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side, at the Tohsaka residence.

Kirei Kotomine and Hundred-Faced Hassan quietly watched Tokiomi Tohsaka admiring the moon by the window.

They had suffered heavy losses tonight.

Gilgamesh had exited, and the clones of Hundred-Faced Hassan were almost all gone, with fewer than ten remaining.

However, Kirei Kotomine didn't care about any of this.

Previously, Gilgamesh had been brainwashing Kirei Kotomine, trying to lead him toward the pleasure of evil.

But the brainwashing was only halfway through when they were forced back by a joint attack.

Kirei Kotomine was now even more confused.

(Darius III)

Heroic King: "Tokiomi! I'm going to kill you!"

Heroic King: "Speak up, are you afraid to face me, mongrel!"

Gilgamesh, who had returned to the Throne of Heroes, was crazily tagging Tokiomi Tohsaka in the group.

At this moment, his hatred for Tokiomi Tohsaka exceeded his hatred for Feng Xi.

And Tokiomi Tohsaka naturally ignored him.

He took out a card; it was the Holy Grail version of the Heroic Spirit Summoning Card.

This was the card he had opened from the silver treasure chest during the day, not a Craft Essence card.

This was also the reason he backstabbed Gilgamesh.

Tokiomi Tohsaka is not stupid; on the contrary, he is quite smart.

It's just that he always hits a mine when it comes to judging people.

After the video during the day ended, Tokiomi Tohsaka had already realized.

He and Gilgamesh were already at odds.

He even sensed that Gilgamesh had murderous intent toward him.

Even with Command Spells in hand, he felt extreme unease.

Although winning the Holy Grail is important, his own life is more important.

Coupled with Gilgamesh's arrogance and foul mouth, he had made his home miserable in the few days he had been there, completely ignored orders, and offended almost all other teams.

His own daughter had even been forced to jump to the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side.

All of this accumulated, finally causing Tokiomi Tohsaka to explode.

He had had enough.

He would rather bet his hope on an unknown Heroic Spirit than continue living under Gilgamesh's threat.

So, at the critical moment for Gilgamesh, he chose to backstab.

After Gilgamesh exited, he suddenly felt the whole person relax.

As for still being in the same group as Gilgamesh, what of it?

He couldn't possibly come through the internet cable to hit him, could he?

Alright, next, it's time to summon a new Servant.

He hadn't given up on the Holy Grail yet.

The silver summoning card was activated, and a summoning circle appeared in the hall.

This time, Tokiomi Tohsaka no longer hoped for anything; as long as they had strength and were obedient, that would be enough.

A flash of light, and a pitch-black giant appeared in the summoning circle.

Tokiomi Tohsaka was stunned when he saw the other party.

Darius III, he didn't expect it to be this guy.

Being able to be Iskandar's arch-rival proved that he definitely had strength.

But this guy is a Berserker.

A maddened Berserker doesn't seem like someone who would follow orders.

Could it be that he and the Holy Grail War are incompatible, and he shouldn't be participating?

"Ooo..."

However, Darius III was not as manic as Tokiomi Tohsaka had imagined; instead, he stood there quite peacefully.

It's just that he has the common problem of Berserkers: he can't speak.

Seeing Darius III so quiet, Tokiomi Tohsaka breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Time passed in a flash to the next day, the fifth day of the Holy Grail War.

[Ding! The quiz will start in ten minutes; please prepare, group members.]

[Ding! New group members "Supervisor" and "Black Saber" have joined the group chat.]

Waver: "New group members again, but these names, who are they?"

Supervisor: "Oh, is this the quiz group Tokiomi mentioned?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Risei, is that you?"

Supervisor: "It is I."

Kayneth: "I wondered who it was, Risei Kotomine, so it's you."

Kayneth: "You should enjoy yourself while you can; after this Holy Grail War ends, just wait for the punishment from above."

Supervisor: "Mr. Kayneth, what do you mean by that?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Sorry, Risei, our cooperation has been exposed."

Supervisor: "I see..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me."

Supervisor: "It's fine, this was my own decision as well."

Kayneth: "Alright, enough with the brotherly affection; who are you showing this to?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Risei, you should change your name back first."

Supervisor: "Change name, wait for me..."

Risei Kotomine: "Is this okay?"

Kayneth: "Changing it is fine; you won't be the Supervisor in the future anyway."

Heroic King: "Tokiomi Tohsaka!"

Heroic King: "Mongrel, finally stopped hiding!"

Artoria: "Heroic King, I heard you have already exited."

Heroic King: "Get lost! Are you, a mongrel, here to mock me!"

Feng Xi: "It seems the beatings of society couldn't fix your foul-mouthed habit."

Heroic King: "Shut up! You mongrel, just wait; I will pay you back sooner or later!"

Red Hare: "Master, are you alright?"

Feng Xi: "Don't worry, you should know I'm fine just by looking at this situation."

Heroic King: "Hmph."

Waver: "Ahem, the identity of this Supervisor is known, but who is Black Saber?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Black Saber, what a strange name."

Feng Xi: "Black Saber, why does this name make me think of a certain figure?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Who?"

Feng Xi: "Darius III."

Rin Tohsaka: "That pitch-black guy."

Waver: "Now that you mention it, I also think this name sounds a lot like him."

Waver: "It couldn't really be him, could it!"

Conqueror King: "King of Persia, is that you?"

Black Saber: "Is, kan, dar!!!"

Feng Xi: "Confirmed, it's him."

Waver: "We just dealt with one Heroic King, how come another King of Persia has arrived?"

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, isn't this great?"

Conqueror King: "King of Persia, it seems we can fight once more."

Black Saber: "Iskandar, die!"

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, it seems your fighting spirit is also very high."

Waver: "Hey, this isn't high spirit; he clearly wants to fight you to the death."

[Ding! The first question is about to begin!]

[This is a three-part quiz; there will be three questions in the video, each with 5 minutes to answer, and all group members can rush to answer.]

[Answering correctly earns 3 Saint Quartz, answering incorrectly deducts 1 Saint Quartz; if no one answers within 5 minutes, it counts as invalid.]

[Please pay attention to the video.]

[Video starts.]

[On the rooftop at night, Sola looks at the pillar of light in the distance, a smile appearing on her lips.]

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Is this video continuing from yesterday's Caster subjugation battle?"

Kayneth: "You can tell just by looking at the scene."

He felt unhappy again, as he remembered the interaction between Sola and Diarmuid in yesterday's video.

[Suddenly, Sola is attacked and falls to the ground, her right arm severed.]

[A woman walks out; it is Maiya Hisau.]

[Seeing the plan succeeded, Maiya Hisau directly takes out a phone to report to Emiya Kiritsugu.]

["It's me, I have captured Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, and the arm with the Command Spells has been successfully cut off."]

["Good, retreat immediately."]

Kayneth: "Emiya Kiritsugu!!!"

Seeing his beloved woman's arm cut off, Kayneth was about to explode.

Sola: "I was ambushed..."

Sola was also frightened by the video; this was the first time she realized the cruelty of the Holy Grail War.

Diarmuid: "I am sorry, Master; it was my lack of consideration that allowed Lady Sola to encounter such danger."

Sola: "It's fine, this has nothing to do with you."

Kayneth: "..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Actually cutting off the other person's arm..."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Rin, this is the cruelty of the Holy Grail War; you must remember this."

[The scene shifts to the church in Fuyuki City.]

[Inside the church, Kayneth is talking to Risei Kotomine.]

[Kayneth in the video looks very bad; he is sitting in a wheelchair, covered in bandages, veins bulging on his forehead, and his state is clearly not right.]

[Risei Kotomine: "I already know your intention; in the operation to subjugate Caster, Lancer did indeed make a contribution."]

[Kayneth says impatiently: "That's right, so I can also get a Command Spell, right?"]

["That may be so, but you..."]

[Risei Kotomine looks at Kayneth's empty arm and hesitates.]

[After all, Kayneth is no longer a Master now.]

["The contract with Lancer was concluded by both Sola and me."]

[Kayneth also understands what Risei Kotomine means and explains hurriedly.]

[Risei Kotomine: "But aren't the mana and Command Spells both the responsibility of Lady Sola?"]

[Kayneth: "It was just temporarily entrusted to her for safekeeping."]

["...Alright."]

[Seeing Kayneth so insistent, Risei Kotomine has no choice but to agree.]

[After all, he promised that anyone who subjugated Bluebeard would receive a Command Spell; this was a promise he made himself.]

["I admit you are qualified; extend your hand."]

[Risei Kotomine lifts the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the large Command Spell mark on his arm.]
