Bazett thought it was a call to collect a debt, and answered the phone with a disgruntled expression.

“Bazette, do you remember who I am? Don’t worry, it’s just a villa, I don’t care about it. I’m here to tell you that we’ve found the whereabouts of the eighth card and invite you to come and help us.” Luvia said this on the phone.

Bazett's fingers trembled with excitement.

Great! Great! If I find the eighth card, I can rightfully return to the Clock Tower and stop living this precarious life.

“Where are you? I’m coming right now!” Bazett shouted.

At this moment, the site supervisor struggled to get up from the ground.

"You're not allowed to go anywhere! Or believe me, I'll dock your pay!"

Bazett put on his gloves and suddenly slammed his fist into the ground.

In an instant, dust billowed up from the ground, and a steel bar underfoot was smashed and snapped.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again!!!"

Chapter 464: The Girls' Strategic Meeting

Bazett not only got back the wages he was owed, but he also got back the wages that had been deducted from him for no reason these past few days.

Indeed, when reasoning fails, fists are the most effective weapon.

"Girl, are you really not going to sign a contract with me to become a hero who saves the world? You will gain superhuman power." Yamabuki Hanajin was still trying to fool him.

Bazett looked at Yamabuki Hanajin seriously: "Tell me first, what's going on here? There's no such thing as a free lunch. Besides, I'm way past the age of being called a girl."

How can you expect me to talk about trading my intelligence for fighting power? Intelligence is also very important in battles between magicians.

"Bazette, I didn't expect you to be so experienced in the ways of the world. Since I couldn't fool you! Hmph! I don't believe those little ones won't fall for it either." Yamabuki Hanajin revealed a sinister and cunning smile.

Bazett pulled out her suit, the same one she wore when she first came to Fuyuki City. After changing into it, Bazett instantly transformed from a construction worker looking at bricks into a magician at the Clock Tower. Indeed, clothes make the man, and the old saying is true.

Carrying the iron ball used for the Reverse Light Sword, Bazett brought Yamabuki Hanajin to Luvia's villa. In just half a month, Luvia's villa had been repaired and was even more luxurious than before.

Bazett looked at Luvia expressionlessly; for her, the mission was the most important thing.

"We meet again, still with that cold face. But who is this lady beside you...?" Luvia frowned. Why did this woman possess such a divine quality? This was not something an ordinary person could have.

“She claims to be the goddess of water. According to Aqua, she is a god from the heavens and appeared in this world for some unknown reason. Although I have my doubts about her words, her divinity is undeniable,” Bazett answered Luvia’s question calmly.

"Water goddess? Aqua? I've read all the myths in this world, and I've never heard of such a water goddess. Are you serious?" Luvia looked at Yamabuki Hanajin warily.

Of course you haven't heard of it, because you've never seen "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" If you had, you would definitely have great respect for this elegant and graceful goddess in front of you.

After all, there are very few gods who can't even beat a frog.

Yamabuki Hanajin picked up the black tea and was about to take a sip when she discovered that the black tea had been purified into ordinary water by her divine power.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed the ahoge (cowlick) on Yamabuki Hanajin's head and yanked it hard, causing Yamabuki Hanajin to jump up.

"Ouch! Who dares to attack a god? Do they want divine punishment?" Yamabuki Hanajin jumped up and assumed a defensive stance.

It turned out that the person who pulled her ahoge (cowlick) was none other than Rin Tohsaka.

"Hello, Miss, you always mess things up at crucial moments!" Yamabuki Hanakami thought to herself.

"Don't be fooled by her. You can tell her true identity from the ahoge on her head. Yamabuki Hanajin, we meet again?" Rin Tohsaka smiled smugly.

With a stiff smile, Yamabuki Hanajin reached out to greet Tohsaka Rin.

"Yamabuki Hanajin? That name seems familiar... but I can't quite place it." Bazett rubbed his chin with a curious expression.

"That's not important. Names are just external things. Let's discuss what to do with the eighth card, shall we?" Yamabuki Hanajin immediately changed the subject.

"We still need to wait for Ilya and Kuro, after all, they are indispensable forces right now." Luvia took a sip of black tea, only to find that the tea in her cup had somehow turned into water!

Luvia was still wondering if Miyu had forgotten to put tea leaves in when she made the tea. How could she make such a basic mistake?

Just then, Illya, Kuro, and Miyu returned.

"Rin-neechan, Luvia-neechan, and..." Illya stared at the ahoge (cowlick) on Yamabuki Hanajin's head for a moment before saying uncertainly, "Yamabuki Hanajin-neechan?"

"Ilya! Let your big sister hug you!" Yamabuki Hanajin opened her arms to Ilya, but Ilya trembled and shrank behind Kuro.

The incident at the Tentacle House was also a huge blow to the girl.

There are such terrifying places in the world!

"Little Black! Do you need more magic today? Big sister's magic is ridiculously high today, how about we replenish our magic together?" Yamabuki Hanajin gently lifted Little Black's chin.

Xiao Hei calmly looked at the somewhat eccentric older sister in front of her: "Thank you for your concern, but I won't make it up today."

"That's such a pity." Yamabuki Hanajin was a little disappointed; she wanted to savor the girl's tender lips.

The system suddenly popped up and complained: "She's still a child! You're even going after her? You're way too immature!"

"What's wrong with being born? As long as I am born, no one can morally blackmail me," Yamabuki Hanajin said proudly.

The system sighed, "This person is beyond saving; he can only be reworked."

Miyu was taking notes diligently, but no one knew what she was writing in her notes.

“Alright, let’s begin the battle plan for the eighth card.” Luvia slapped the table.

They all appeared in Fuyuki City because of the cards; the cards are the most important thing.

Furthermore, Bazett and Rin Tohsaka are actually in the same organization. If they sabotage each other and fail to complete the mission, they will have no way to explain themselves to their superiors.

Rin Tohsaka tapped the table lightly twice: "Alright, the strategy meeting will now officially begin."

To fit the occasion, she even wore glasses, giving her a very professional look: "Actually, the most important problem has been solved. Initially, the card was on the seabed. After half a month of operation, we have built a space on the seabed that is large enough for us to move around underwater. Now the question is, who will make the first move?"

That's right, whoever makes the first move has a better chance of getting the eighth card.

No one spoke until Luvia finally said, "How about this, for the sake of our friendship, Bazett, we can let you make the first move. Of course, if you can't win, that's not our problem."

Bazett nodded without hesitation; it was already difficult enough for the other party to give up a step.

"Yamabuki-neechan, are you going too?" Ilya looked at Yamabuki Hanajin curiously.

"How could I miss out on something as fun as collecting cards?" Yamabuki Hanajin could vaguely sense the excitement.

I wasn't there when we were collecting the previous seven cards, so how could I miss out this time? Those are baby shinys! It would be so much fun to give them a good beating.

Chapter 465: Dark Gold Glitter

The seven cards they currently hold are: Swordsman (Artoria Pendragon), Assassin (Hassan the Old Man of the Mountain), Archer (Shirou Emiya), Lancer (Cú Chulainn), Mage (Medea), Berserker (Hercules), and Knight (Medusa).

The last card is the famous Golden P.E.K.K.A., which is also an archer.

"When are we leaving?" Bazett was getting impatient; he was fed up with this life of not knowing where his next meal would come from.

Rin Tohsaka glanced at the time: "The operation will begin at seven o'clock tonight. Please rest well here until then."

Bazett was very confident in her abilities. This wasn't her first time fighting Servants; she had previously defeated cavalry and archers with her bare hands. She was confident that she could easily defeat this enemy.

But there's a saying that the difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs, and this applies to Heroic Spirits as well.

Gilgamesh is, after all, the strongest Heroic Spirit to appear in the Fourth and Fifth World Wars.

Although Gilgamesh lost his hand and head at the end of the Fifth Shinobi World War, that was only because Gilgamesh underestimated him and was careless. If he had drawn Ea right from the start, history might have been rewritten.

Meanwhile, Illya and Miyu had already gathered around Yamabuki Hanajin and asked curiously, "Yamabuki-neechan, what special abilities does the character you transformed into today have? Can we see them?"

Upon hearing this, Yamabuki Hanajin revealed a smug smile: "I'll show you the true power of Aqua, the Goddess of Water! Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon!"

With the appearance of the fountain, morale increases by 1 for all allies.

Xiao Hei couldn't help but complain from the side: "Why do I feel like you're even more unreliable today? All you can do is spray water? Don't you have any other abilities?"

"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you that I can actually have you sign a contract with me and become heroes. You'll gain immense power. Want to give it a try?" Yamabuki Hanajin asked in a seductive voice.

Little cutie Ilya immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Xiao Hei grabbed Ilya: "This thing is so suspicious! It's obviously something's wrong, isn't it? Why did you fall for it? Stay away from this seemingly innocent older sister!"

Are underage girls these days so aware of how to avoid being scammed?

And so, everyone waited until evening. The waiting process was the most agonizing, as everyone was drowsy. Finally, at seven o'clock in the evening, everyone set off, full of energy.

Especially for Bazette, the days of having to work to survive are finally coming to an end.

The stars twinkled in the sky. Rin Tohsaka stared at them and suddenly said, "Does anyone here know anything about astrology? I have a feeling that going out tonight will bring bad luck."

Luvia, however, dismissed it, saying, "You're learning magic and you're still so superstitious? Superstition is unacceptable, you know?"

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but retort, "You already have magic, how do you know that using astrology for fortune-telling is wrong? Are you trying to pick a fight?"

"Hmph, I forgot, we're actually competitors too. How about this, before the finals, we play a friendly elimination match?" Luvia looked at Rin Tohsaka with a provocative expression.

"Fine, let's fight. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Rin Tohsaka glared at Luvia.

As the two argued more and more fiercely, Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly grabbed their heads and slammed them hard against each other's heads.

The two girls screamed at the same time, clutching their heads and crouching on the ground.

"Young lady, would you like to sign a magic contract with me? To become the savior of this world? Sign a contract with me and you will become the strongest people in the world. Want to consider it?" Yamabuki Hanajin hadn't forgotten about pyramid schemes.

The two girls stared warily at Yamabuki Hanajin.

"Forget it, collecting cards is the most important thing. I'm not going to argue with a woman with a flat chest!"

"What's so great about cows? What's so great about cows?!"

Rin Tohsaka's voice trembled with tears; it seemed she had finally broken down.

Every girl with small breasts longs to grow up someday, and Misaka Mikoto has the same dream.

However, a dream is a dream precisely because it is something that is out of reach.

Soon, a group of girls arrived at the beach, laughing and joking. In front of them was a construction site where workers had already built an underwater elevator, allowing them to go directly into the sea.

The group took the elevator down to the sea. The place where the card appeared was deeper than the seawater, so although the environment here was very humid, there was no seawater.

Illya and Miyu transformed simultaneously, opening the Mirror World. As soon as everyone entered the Mirror World, they felt an extremely terrifying magical power.

The black magic permeated the air as if it were a tangible substance. Not only Rin Tohsaka and Luvia, but even the battle-hardened Bazett sensed that something was wrong and watched the scene before him warily.

Finally, the immense black magic coalesced into a human figure, which was the true form of the eighth card. Everyone watched the last heroic spirit with vigilance.

“As agreed, I won’t stand on ceremony!” Bazett clenched his fists and strode forward.

Yamabuki Hanajin suddenly called out to Bazett: "You really don't want to become my follower? There's plenty of delicious food."

Bazett calmly said, "I'll treat you to dinner when I get back. You can just sit back and watch quietly!"

Wait... why did you set a flag before the big battle? Don't you know that saying such lines is extremely dangerous?

Everyone else was looking at Bazett. Battles between magicians were not just about magical power; skill, combat experience, and other factors were also very important.

I can see through the enemy's methods, but the enemy can't see through my methods; it's an absolutely crushing battle.

While choosing to act later might mean missing a good opportunity, it also allows Rin and her friends to see the enemy's methods more clearly.

The black-clad Heroic Spirit immediately sensed Bazett's presence, and with a wave of his arms, black magic formed numerous Noble Phantasms around him.

This was practically Gilgamesh's signature move, but Bazett and the others were unaware that in an instant, countless Noble Phantasms flew towards Bazett like arrows, each one possessing terrifying power. The ground instantly exploded, sending dust flying everywhere.

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia both looked extremely grim.

"Are you kidding me? Those are all genuine Noble Phantasms? Noble Phantasms are symbols of Heroic Spirits. They could be some kind of weapon, some kind of ability, or even the embodiment of a legend! A Heroic Spirit couldn't possibly possess so many Noble Phantasms at the same time! Could they be Noble Phantasms that can be split?" Luvia was still analyzing the illogical situation before her.

Yamabuki Hanajin said softly, "There is only one Heroic Spirit who possesses the prototypes of all the Noble Phantasms in the world."

Chapter 466: The Young Ladies' Utter Defeat

Luvia hadn't even reacted to what Yamabuki Hanajin said, but Rin Tohsaka next to her had a livid face, as she possessed the prototypes of all the world's Noble Phantasms.

There should only be one hero in Valhalla who meets the current criteria.

"The legendary king of ancient Babylon, the oldest king in human history, Gilgamesh?" Rin Tohsaka's voice trembled slightly.

Why would a monster of this level appear in front of me? It's definitely not an enemy that humans can handle.

That's right, the dark-skinned Heroic Spirit was none other than Gilgamesh in his berserk state. Meanwhile, Rin Tohsaka had already realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Come back quickly! Bazett, this is not an enemy we can defeat alone. Come back quickly so we can discuss this further!" Rin Tohsaka shouted.
