"Hah..."
"That explosion last night, could it be other participants?"
Jonouchi just woke up from sleep, glanced at the direction of the shock through the window, and muttered.
He didn't intervene last night, but obviously this so-called "Grand Competition" had already begun.
"Good! I'll also go find someone to duel!"
Being thick-nerved, he wouldn't worry about subsequent things for the time being, but just thought from the bottom of his heart.
"Mn?"
Glancing at the Duel Disk on his arm, the Spell & Trap Zone on it was already fully inserted with cards.
The only monster sent out hadn't returned yet.
"Heh, gotta try anyway..."
For Jonouchi, this so-called "War" was nothing more than another duel.
If he only needed to seize those six Dragon Balls to obtain a wish, then it was simply a big profit.
It just happened that many companions' souls needed him to think of a way to save them; if he could redeem them through this way, that wouldn't be bad either.
...
"What does this mean, Kirei?"
Gilgamesh leaned on the sofa drinking wine leisurely, looked at Kirei Kotomine standing in front, and asked.
On the table directly in front of him, there was a Dragon Ball shining with brilliance.
"Just a transaction..."
Without sitting down arbitrarily, Kirei Kotomine was just choosing the approach beneficial to himself.
"So that's it."
"Indeed this bead is something never seen in this King's treasury."
"Luster and value are immeasurable; it's not bad."
Glancing at that bead inlaid with two stars inside, Gilgamesh was indeed very interested in this thing.
Even with his extraordinary experience and knowledge, he hadn't seen such a magical creation yet.
This might be a product from some god?
Or maybe it was an artificial object of some civilization, but no matter which one, it had very good attraction for him.
After all, what he didn't have, naturally he would think of possessing.
Let alone being Gilgamesh as the "King."
"It seems you have pondered my mind carefully."
"As the identity of a subject, indeed made me happy this time."
No wonder Kirei Kotomine would be so active; presumably he also considered the special nature of this Holy Grail War.
"Ho, that is a reward."
Putting the bead in front into the treasury without politeness, ripples arose behind Gilgamesh; a thing wrapped in a cloth bag flew out from inside simultaneously.
"This is..."
Catching that flying cloth bag with his hand, Kirei Kotomine felt that weight.
"That country's gods, no, people call it Panacea possessed by immortals."
"If eating it, any injury can be recovered."
"You want to let Assassin recover, don't you?"
The corners of his mouth raised in an arc; how could Gilgamesh not know the thoughts in Kirei Kotomine's heart?
Even if personal ability was good among Masters, lacking the help of a Servant, one would still find it difficult to move a single step.
To prevent the worst situation from happening, Kirei Kotomine naturally wouldn't let Assassin be in that state of serious injury.
But to cure Assassin's injury in a short time, it wouldn't be that simple.
Thinking about it, he could only seek help from this "Oldest King."
Of course, this was an act done quietly behind Teacher Tokiomi's back.
"Losing that bead also proves you lost the qualification to make a wish. Doing such an act behind Tokiomi's back, you aren't very honest either."
"As long as still grasping the Servant, sooner or later I can still seize new Dragon Balls from other participants' hands; nothing to worry about."
Regarding Gilgamesh's words, Kirei Kotomine answered unmoved.
"Hahaha, you see it very thoroughly."
"Yeah, this session's Holy Grail War is different from the past."
"Many new amusements added..."
Speaking of this, Gilgamesh was quite happy; he had never encountered such a rare war.
Mysterious Dragon Balls, strange Heroic Spirits, including disputes between Master and Servant, wishes...
Even if doing nothing, he wanted to see what the final scene of this battle would be like.
"Truly making people delighted, Kirei..."
...
"How is it, Lancer? Not bad right."
"Whew, delicious."
Inside the hotel, compared to Kayneth arranging barrier and other magecraft means meticulously, the two as Master and Servant had already "started the banquet."
"I say... it's useless even if you do it so perfectly."
"Last night's bombardment, if really aiming, you were just working in vain."
Turning her head to glance at Kayneth, Kyoko Sakura as Lancer advised with good intentions.
She really found it hard to understand what kind of mind this stubborn man had.
If not for the identity of the Master's fiancé, she wouldn't even want to pay attention to the other party.
"Yeah, last night you even intended to let Lancer go over; fortunately I stopped it."
"Otherwise, she would definitely be like that Assassin, injured miserably, right?"
Mentioning this matter, Sola more or less had the meaning of blaming. Kayneth didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity yesterday, so he tried to order Lancer to attack.
But looking from the result, the choice to wait and see was correct.
Not every lucky one had the opportunity to be safe and sound from that kind of bombardment.
"Hmph, just being prepared for want."
Hearing this, Kayneth looked extremely bad, but then snorted coldly.
Judging from the current situation, not going out last night was indeed correct. The battle between Servants was actually "high-end" to this degree, truly exceeding his expectations.
Just not clear whether last night's bombardment was a Noble Phantasm release.
What's more, the other party's Class wasn't understood either, but judging from the situation, it was extremely likely to be Caster.
"Although there is the necessity of so-called concealing mystery, there are also guys who disregard secular views and go their own way."
"This arrangement of yours will easily be wasted."
Kyoko Sakura understood such people very well, just like that magical girl named "Homura Akemi" she knew.
Except for "Madoka Kaname" who could make her waver somewhat, other things wouldn't make the other party care much.
"Having leisure to say this, why not go out to spy on intelligence? That is the behavior you should have as a Servant, right? Instead of gorging here."
"Sorry, Kayneth, current me is the Master. Can you not give orders randomly to my Servant?"
"Sola..."
Clearly being embarrassed by his fiancée repeatedly, Kayneth still didn't get angry.
After all, this time he indeed didn't become a Master, but came as a collaborator actively.
If not for his insistence on this, Sola absolutely wouldn't agree.
"What he said is also correct. Ate a lot of things..."
"It's time to go find intelligence of other Servants and Masters."
"After all, have to give repayment."
Finishing the food in front, Kyoko Sakura stood up, then said seriously.
She didn't come to play this time either...
To save that "colleague" turned into a Witch, she would try any method.
So... she must win this time!"
