Gilgamesh's Fear / You're No Use at All...

He certainly didn't want to kill Matou Sakura, but after such a long investigation, he already knew exactly where that old man was hiding.

Shinji Matou caught a Shinji Matou Crest Worm, but he wasn't particularly happy. Instead, he immediately gave an order.

"By the Command Seal Spell, Jason, quickly send my sister into the Life Support Device in my room, immediately."

He used his second Command Seal without hesitation. His purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was to save Matou Sakura, so why would he cherish a Command Seal at such a crucial moment?

Jason suddenly had a layout diagram of the Matou Family's house in his mind, and he also learned how to use a Life Support Device.

That was a machine constructed by Shinji Matou based on modern medicine and mystical knowledge. As long as there was still a breath left inside, it could keep someone alive. As long as it could last until the end of the Holy Grail War, there would be a way to save them.

"Shinji, why are you...?"

"Why? You old geezer, aren't you underestimating science?"

Shinji Matou clenched his arm, holding the old man's body in his hand, his disdain evident in his expression.

"How long your body can last is a question in itself, and acquiring a new body isn't that hard to guess, so who would you choose?"

This is essentially a question that doesn't need an answer. The Matou Family's Magic Crest will inevitably be passed down to Matou Sakura, so the best place for Matou Zouken to hide is definitely inside Matou Sakura's body.

"But how did you know...?"

"That's why I said you underestimated science. How about you go out and take a few steps these days?"

The inside of the human body is indeed a very good hiding place, especially since Shinji Matou cannot easily harm Matou Sakura; it is practically a natural barrier.

The problem is that the human body isn't exactly a mystery to hospitals; an X-ray reveals almost everything.

"Sakura wasn't feeling well the other day, so I took her for a quick check-up."

Shinji Matou's smile grew even more sinister, and as the force in his hand increased, Matou Zouken could barely breathe.

"Don't worry, I just added a little something to make Sakura feel a bit uncomfortable. You won't even be able to find anything wrong with it. Isn't medicine amazing?"

Shinji Matou too lazy to explain bacteria and viruses to a dying old man, so he used "medicine" as a substitute.

The hospital didn't prescribe any effective medication; Matou Sakura's "illness" only got better because Shinji Matou stages.

This gave them an excuse to keep taking him to the hospital for checkups and to keep confirming the old man's location.

"Old man, your era has ended. The sins of the Matou Clan began because of you, and it's time to put an end to them with your death."

No~~

Smack!

With a sound like a water balloon shattering, the old man's mournful wail abruptly stopped, Shinji Matou shook off the filth from his hands and slowly returned to his room.

Matou Sakura's injuries are fatal. Even if the device can sustain her life, it's not enough to completely save her. That's where the power of the Holy Grail comes in.

"Master, your methods are truly..."

Jason looked at Shinji Matou who had returned. Although he wasn't particularly strong, his ruthlessness was not to be underestimated. This Holy Grail War was going to be interesting.

"Jason, give me a moment to calm down, then we can begin discussing strategy."

Shinji Matou returned to his room, then locked the door from the inside, intending to be alone.

Chapter 147 Gilgamesh's Fear 18/102

Late at night, Fujimaru Ritsuka upstairs had already fallen asleep, while Fujimaru Kyoya and Tohsaka Rin took advantage of the little girl's sleep to go inside the Magic Workshop, where a summoning circle that had been set up during the day was already in place.

"The timing is perfect; this is the moment when the Mana within the Ley Line is at its peak."

Tohsaka Rin wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. If it weren't for Fujimaru Kyoya's help, she probably wouldn't have even noticed that her clock had gone ahead by an hour.

If you summon it an hour earlier, it won't necessarily fail, but that would be an unnecessary variable, and there's no need to take that kind of risk.

"Watch closely, the Servant I'm about to summon will definitely be the strongest."

Tohsaka Rin leaped into the center of the magic circle, then took out a gem and held it in her hand. As Mana was poured into it, the gem changed shape, from solid to liquid, and then flowed into the summoning magic circle.

Mana began to swell, and the Holy Relic at the center of the magic circle seemed to react. As Tohsaka Rin chanted her incantation, an increasingly dazzling light emerged from the basement.

"They've really come?"

Unlike Tohsaka Rin's excitement, Fujimaru Kyoya was more worried. After all, Gilgamesh was indeed strong, but his self-centered personality... he hoped it wouldn't cause any conflicts.

"Appear beyond the Wheel of Inhibition, Guardian of the Scales."

They've arrived.

As Tohsaka Rin finished her last incantation, the light faded and a huge cloud of smoke filled the Magic Workshop.

"This feeling... that's right, Fujimaru, I've drawn the strongest card this time."

Instead of immediately checking on the Servant's condition, Tohsaka Rin Fujimaru Kyoya, acting like a lucky player who got a Servant on their first pull in a gacha game.

As for why Tohsaka Rin was so careless, it was simply because Kyo Fujimaru Kyoya was Fujimaru Kyoya present, and she trusted that he would protect her from behind.

"Archer has come as summoned, but... is it really okay to do this in front of me? I'm still just a kid."

A voice came from within the smoke, but unlike the arrogant, haughty tone that Fujimaru Kyoya had imagined, it was a gentle... little boy's voice.

"Why... why aren't you wearing clothes?"

Tohsaka Rin saw the Servant's true face Fujimaru Kyoya. It wasn't the legendary hero at all, but just a naked, blond little boy.

That's right, completely naked.

"Clothes? Why should I wear clothes? There's no part of my body that I can't show to others."

The blond boy was completely unaware that something was wrong, but at Tohsaka Rin's insistence, he began to grope around through a golden light behind him.

Gate of Babylon? It really is Gilgamesh.

When Fujimaru Kyoya saw the Gate of Babylon, he finally confirmed the identity of the Servant before him, but this state of Gilgamesh was one he had never seen before.

"Strange? Why is my Gate of Babylon empty? Oh well, I'll use this as a substitute for now."

The blond boy found a leaf in the Gate of Babylon and used it to cover his still-growing baby elephant, then looked at Tohsaka Rin with a smug expression.

"Archer, Gilgamesh summoned. Just call me Gil, Master."

"What are you so smug about?"

Tohsaka Rin feels like fate is trying to turn her into a comedic character, as she's always surrounded by people she has to roast.

"But my Gate of Babylon is completely empty for some reason. Not only is the current inventory less Issei it used to be, but there isn't a single piece of clothing left."

Gil scratched his head. Although he wasn't dissatisfied with his current state, he wasn't against wearing clothes to appease his Master.

But the problem is he doesn't have it.

"Tohsaka, don't you have any clothes for him to wear?"

"How could that be? Although I kept some clothes from when I was little, they were all women's clothes."

Tohsaka Rin glanced at Fujimaru Kyoya; if anyone were to take clothes, it should be Fujimaru Kyoya's clothes.

"I already donated all my old clothes to charity, and this guy seems quite eager to do the same."

Fujimaru Kyoya glanced at the little Gilgamesh and had to admit that his face was much more pleasing to the eye than when he grew up.

"Crossdressing? I don't mind, it might be a novel experience."

Gil was eager to try; for this King of Heroes who still had a childlike heart, being willing to try new things was not a bad thing.

Men should wear men's clothing, and women should wear women's clothing; only then can one be considered whole.

In the basement of the Fuyuki Church, Gilgamesh, who was originally given priority to taste the wine, inexplicably felt a chill, and even the fragrant wine no longer tasted good.

"Damn it, no... this can't be happening!"

Although he didn't know what had happened, Gilgamesh felt a strange sense of "fear" welling up inside him.

Damn it, what in this world could possibly frighten or terrify the Gilgamesh?

"Are you feeling unwell, Gilgamesh?"

Kirei Kotomine looked at Gilgamesh, and this was the first time he had ever seen him look so Kirei Kotomine.

"I don't know. It seems someone is doing something terrible to me, but I have no idea. It's truly unpleasant."

Gilgamesh crushed the wine glass in his hand, but this could not dispel the sorrow in his heart. Considering his extremely high Divinity, even if someone cursed him, it should not have any effect.

Maybe it's just my imagination?

"How are things? How's the little girl from the Tohsaka Family doing lately?"

"Heh~ It seems they're worried about the Holy Relic, so they probably won't be coming anytime soon. There's been no news from the Einzbern Family, and the Matou Family has only sent a signal that they're ready."

Kirei Kotomine shared the information he knew. He didn't mind sharing information with his partners, after all, all he wanted was "pleasure," and he had nothing left to lose.

Even his life, which he actually lost ten years ago, is now only alive thanks to the Black Mud.

"You seem to be planning to take action against that Executor recently?"

"Pretty much. After all, I need a legitimate identity to intervene in the Holy Grail War; at the very least, I can't be Archer's Master."

Kirei Kotomine wouldn't easily reveal Gilgamesh his trump card. As the overseer of the Holy Grail War, he possesses Command Seal inherited from his father. If he kills a Master who inherits the Servant's Servant, then no one can discern his true strength.

"The Holy Grail, what a boring thing."

Gilgamesh recalled the Holy Grail from back then, never imagining that the so-called Servant were fighting over such a ridiculous thing.

It's so ridiculous it's laughable.

Chapter 148 If you were even slightly useful...

"Click~"

"Click~"

"Click~"

Fujimaru Kyoya kept pressing the shutter button, consuming film almost without restraint, a behavior that even Tohsaka Rin found somewhat unbearable.

"Wait a minute, are you trying to leave a psychological impact on this guy?"

While Tohsaka Rin admits that the little Gilgamesh indeed cute, isn't she worried that taking so many Cross-dressing Photo might lead him to want to destroy this embarrassing history and even kill her?

"No way, he seems to be enjoying it himself."

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at Gilgamesh before him, with his golden, tousled hair, smooth face, and bright Ruby- like eyes.

She wore a white shirt with a bow tie in the same color as Tohsaka Rin's, a black pleated skirt that reached past her thighs to her knees, and finally, a pair of pristine white stockings connecting to her small leather shoes.

Given her voice, which hasn't yet gone through puberty, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's a girl.

"That's right, it's just a way to show off my beauty. How could I possibly have the intention to kill someone?"

Gil knew perfectly well that her personality would change drastically when she grew up, but she still seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

After all, he didn't really like his grown-up self, so if it could annoy the other person a little, he wouldn't care at all.

"Alright, stop thinking about your pussy photos. Archer, just tell me what you're capable of. We need to come up with a strategy, and besides, this person is my assistant, so we can trust him."

Tohsaka Rin also entered battle mode. In the Holy Grail War, Servants are generally referred to by their Servant to prevent their true names from being revealed.

After all, some heroes, such as Siegfried and Achilles, have weaknesses that are almost world-renowned. Once these weaknesses are known, it's as if they're written all over their faces.

Even without such an obvious weakness, once her name is revealed, it would be easy for others to find ways to target her, which is something Tohsaka Rin doesn't want to see.

"Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, possesses the original texts of all the world's Noble Phantasm, and theoretically has an inexhaustible Gate of Babylon. Although he cannot unleash his Noble Phantasm, he can still unleash them with considerable power."

"The original texts of all Noble Phantasm?"

Tohsaka Rin listened to Gil's self-introduction, her eyes lit up, feeling like she had been dealt a great hand.

As mentioned before, there is a mutual restraint between Servant. If what this little boy is saying is true, then even the original text of Noble Phantasm that cannot be released can still be used to launch targeted attacks against other Servant using its inherent characteristics.

If Tohsaka Rin has information on other Servant, she can find targeted Noble Phantasm from the Gate of Babylon, greatly increasing her chances of winning battles.

That's right, this is the strongest Servant Father chose. I'm going to win this time.

However...

Gil played with the hair at her sideburns, and this sudden turn of events sent a chill down Tohsaka Rin's spine, instantly bringing to mind the name of the Gotham City Police Chief—a jolt.
