How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

It's not sweet at all; he might as well drink sugar water...

"Does Mr. Yudo also like to drink? It's a pity that my senior and I are not old enough to drink..."

Mashu was the first to speak to him, but perhaps because her eyesight was affected by her bangs hanging down, she didn't notice anything wrong with the cup in Yuuto's hand. Yuuto had no choice but to turn his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him.

"Ughhhhhh—!"

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth was already stuffed with food fed by Tiamat, so she had no time to care about anything else and just kept chewing and swallowing, as if she had been turned into a useless person.

Yuuto paused for a moment, then tapped her bracelet to connect to Chaldea.

"Hmm? Is there something you need all at once, Fujimaru?"

Dr. Roman's voice came from the bracelet, and You Du quickly picked up the Holy Grail and took a sip of the ale inside.

"Aren't you having a banquet over there—Aaaaaaah! Wait! Isn't that the Holy Grail in your hand, Yuuto?!"

His shout not only attracted the attention of the Chaldea staff, but also drew the attention of everyone inside the embassy.

After getting the reaction he wanted, Yudo drank the rest of the beer in his glass with satisfaction.

Mmm, that feels good.

Chapter 117 Holy Grail: Feed me peanuts!

The nighttime banquet ended in a jubilant manner after Yudo brought out the Holy Grail.

Just as the banquet was ending, You Du suddenly realized something.

Speaking of which... isn't it a bit inappropriate for them to bring Tiamat along to the banquet held to celebrate Tiamat's defeat?

It's fortunate that Tiamat is still alive and well; otherwise, this whole situation would be even more hellish...

Kill people first, then lead them to your own feast... This sounds not only hellish but also incredibly absurd.

This is not something a normal person would do!

Fortunately, they were all thinking when they toasted, and didn't say anything like, "Cheers to the victory over Tiamat!"

After that, the Holy Grail, which had changed hands four times, finally settled down in the hands of Fujimaru Ritsuka, and no longer had to be passed around as if it were being disliked.

Holy Grail: Feed me peanuts! Feed me peanuts!

Gilgamesh seemed to have decided on his own way of dying, but he didn't tell Yuuto the specifics, which made Yuuto very curious.

However, now that the Holy Grail has been obtained and Tiamat has been dealt with, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others can declare that this singularity has been completely repaired.

All that's left is to wait until Chaldea has prepared the spirit particle conversion system tomorrow, and then Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash can take Tiamat back to Chaldea.

As for how to bring Tiamat back...

Yu Du chose to believe in Leonardo da Vinci's abilities!

Just believe it, that's all!

……

The next morning.

Just as dawn was breaking, Yuuto brought Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to the Divine Tower to bid farewell to Gilgamesh, who was deliberately sitting on the throne waiting for them.

Since everyone else except Ishtar was summoned by the Holy Grail or Gilgamesh, they all left this singularity one after another after Fujimaru Ritsuka obtained the Holy Grail last night.

Ishtar, who has no fear of being recalled, is prepared to stay and remain in this era.

After all, she had finally obtained ownership of 3% of the gems in the treasury from Gilgamesh. If she just went back without enjoying them, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Besides, Ereshkigal has been recalled and is no longer around, so she doesn't have to worry about someone else taking her account again!

Yudo stayed because he arrived at this singularity in a different way than the others, but he's almost reached his limit now.

Anyway, he's already given out the cards that can probably be used as relics. Whether he can go to the Grand Temple of Time and participate in the pillar-cutting event with others is up to Fujimaru Ritsuka himself.

Hopefully, the bond between them is strong enough for her to summon herself back once more!

Perhaps he could try to find a backdoor in that system and change the area he goes to after selecting a deck next time to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side?

Youdu thought it was worth a try.

Although Kingu has the Great Cup of Uruk given to him by Gilgamesh as a new source of power, he is not an existence that should appear in the pan-human history. Even with the Great Cup of Uruk, he will still be repaired along with it after the singularity is repaired.

With Gilgamesh's tacit approval, he simply handed over the Great Cup of Uruk to Fujimaru Ritsuka as well.

As Yuuto watched as Fujimaru Ritsuka, clutching two Holy Grails and beaming like a child, was sent out of the singularity by Chaldea using Spirit Transfer, everything went black before his eyes.

The next second, he was back in that familiar darkness.

……

Buzz-buzz-

Inside the control room, the alarm suddenly went off after Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others finished transferring their spirit particles. The staff, who had been chatting and laughing, were startled and quickly returned to their work mode under emergency conditions.

"Chaldea's external seventh to third offensive theories have been eliminated! Proof of non-existence has failed!"

"The simulated quantum intensity formed inside the museum is vibrating! It is being pulled by the quantum recording fixation tape!"

"There are -4368 hours left until the date 2016 is confirmed for the outer reaches of Chaldea!"

One piece of information after another was reported to Dr. Roman, who was sitting in the center with a solemn expression.

Chi!

The control room door opened, and before Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just returned from the Seventh Singularity, could even be surprised that Tiamat had actually come with her, she heard the alarm sound.

She hurriedly led Mash and Tiamat inside, frantically trying to figure out what had happened.

"doctor!"

"Ah, I'm sorry! Fujimaru, you guys just got back, and you've already turned into this..."

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, Dr. Roman gave an apologetic smile.

But when she saw Tiamat following behind her, her smile froze for a moment.

Ah... Even though he already knew Tiamat was going to be brought back in the Singularity, seeing her in person in person still made it impossible for him to remain calm...

Leonardo actually managed to get Fujimaru to bring Tiamat back... If this continues, won't Chaldea be considered an enemy by the authorities?

Dr. Roman felt some toothache.

That's strange, he hasn't been eating his favorite strawberry cake much lately...

"In short, this moment has finally arrived..."

His words were somewhat ambiguous, but Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu instantly understood what he meant, and both showed serious expressions.

"Finally, the last one has arrived..."

Dr. Roman nodded, then stood up from his seat and looked down at the faces of the Chaldea staff, who were arranged in a descending tiered fashion.

Those who were already prepared need no further explanation, but when faced with this life-or-death situation, some people who were not as resolute as them showed fear on their faces.

"...From this moment forward, the lives of all Chaldea staff will be the responsibility of me, Romani Archaman!"

Taking a deep breath, Dr. Roman announced the next goal to everyone with a firm tone.

"The singularity we are to travel to is called Solomon."

"The End Singularity, Solomon, the Grand Temple of Time!"

After saying all that, Dr. Roman felt as if all the bones in his body had been removed, and he slumped back into the chair, completely exhausted.

"Ah... it will take a little more time before the basket is adjusted and the route is finalized. Until then, you should all get some rest!"

Da Vinci, who was standing to the side, turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others and smiled.

"There's still a tough battle ahead, so you all need to conserve your energy!"

Knowing that they wouldn't be of much help if they stayed, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded and obediently went out as Da Vinci had instructed.

Solomon...

Thinking of the brief encounter she had with the other party in the Fourth Singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka nervously clenched a card in her pocket outside the door.

Volume 3: The Temple of the Crown Time

Chapter 118 A Little Bit of Literature

Congratulations on passing the second area. Would you like to proceed to the next area?

Seeing the familiar words appear before him, You Du shook his head and readjusted his vision from light to darkness.

Instead of making a choice, he calmly and methodically asked the 'system' questions, following his previous plan.

Can I specify where to go next?

【…】

When the text on the pop-up window turned into an ellipsis after a while, You Du's eyes flickered slightly.

Wow, we can actually communicate?!

So when he swore, this guy was just pretending to be dead!

You Du felt that he understood everything.

But after waiting for a while and seeing that the ellipsis had been omitted for a long time without any follow-up, he couldn't help but start to have doubts.

Why is it so slow...

Did he guess wrong?

The ellipsis appears because his system is not responding, not because the system is thinking.

Isn't his system a bit too useless?

As if it had heard Yuuto's inner monologue and wanted to prove that he hadn't failed to respond, just as Yuuto was thinking about whether to shout "force terminate process" to try, the ellipsis on the pop-up window changed.

What is the specified area?

Ok?

Is it really possible?

After considering for a moment, Yuto tentatively said, "The designated area is... the Final Singularity, the Grand Temple of Time."

【…】

Good grief, here we go again?

This time, however, the waiting time for Youdu was not so long. The ellipsis in the pop-up window quickly disappeared, leaving only five characters.

So, what's the price?

cost?

If you're talking about the price associated with Yu-Gi-Oh!...

"Uh... I'm sending a card from my hand to the graveyard?"

【…】

Great, the system has been crashed again by Youdu.

"Okay, just kidding... What are your conditions?"

You Du then threw the question back at the system, as he was also quite curious about what the system wanted from him.

Soul? Vitality? Or simply lust for his body?

Oh, he meant the one who wanted to possess his body, that was lusting after him, nothing more.

However, he felt that the possibility was a little low.

After all, theoretically he doesn't have a body right now...

[You can specify a region, and I can even offer you a little help. However, after specifying a region, I need you to use a specific deck to travel to the next region.]

The ellipsis in the pop-up window was replaced by a string of text. You Du looked at the conditions proposed by the system and found that they were surprisingly normal.

yeah?

You really don't want my body?

What a lack of vision!

Yu Du scoffed inwardly, but his body readily complied and accepted the offer.
