Stop Picking on Osakabehime

The children surrounded Jack and began to celebrate for her, as if Jack had already won the final victory.

"Jack, have you decided what you want to wish for?"

"If you ask me, we just want a lot of money, so we can buy lots of nice things."

"Then why don't we just ask for the things directly, and save ourselves the trouble?"

"That's different. If we regret buying something, we can't change it. But with money, we can buy things anytime."

"But won't the Master confiscate the money?"

"No, we must hide it secretly when the time comes."

Yuxian pushed the door open and came in. He asked curiously, "What are you trying to hide?"

"Master, how could you eavesdrop on our conversation!"

"That's right, you didn't even knock before coming in. Master, you have no manners at all."

Yuxian looked at them innocently, "This is also my room, do I need to knock?"

"Of course we need it!"

"We are all girls, and we also have privacy!"

Yuxian gave a helpless wry smile. Now they're emphasizing their female identity?

That's not what they said when they forcibly took over his room.

They would say things like, "We're just kids, we'll be scared if we sleep in a room without an adult, we'll have nightmares," and so on.

"Okay, okay, I apologize. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Yuxian surrendered and admitted defeat.

After a while, he couldn't help but ask again, "What exactly are you trying to hide?"

"It's nothing, we just... we just..."

Little Jeanne racked her brains, trying to come up with a perfect excuse, but it wasn't so easy to think of one in a short time.

Gretel reacted quickly, and she hurriedly added for Little Jeanne: "We didn't mean to hide anything, Master, you misheard."

"Yes, Master, you misheard!"

Hearing the children say this, Yuxian became even more curious. Were these children planning something again?

He looked at them suspiciously. "You're not up to some shady scheme again, are you?"

"No way!"

"Master, you don't trust us!"

We're ignoring you!

The children immediately protested, saying they were good children and had no bad intentions.

Yuxian didn't ask any more questions. He knew that the children were probably planning something, but he didn't necessarily want to stop them.

These kids are a bit mischievous, but they know their limits, which puts Yuxian at ease.

As for whether it will cause any trouble in the end, we'll see. Anyway, it's not the first time he's encountered this, so he's used to it.

So he said, "Then go to sleep early. You've had a tiring day, and you still have to participate in the competition tomorrow."

The children obediently went to bed.

Elsewhere, Waver and the others were still awake, chatting in the living room.

Lainis said, "Brother, you won first place today. Tomorrow I will definitely continue to work hard to help you win, so that you can realize your wish!"

Waver glared at her, annoyed. "If you keep helping me like this, I could go see the King without the Greater Grail..."

Lainis stuck out her tongue, not daring to say anything more. She had indeed gone a bit too far today, but time was of the essence at the time, and it was just a flash of inspiration that led her to come up with such a solution.

She really wanted to help Waver fulfill his wish, after all, it was because of her that Waver's plan to summon Iskandar had fallen through.

Regardless of the circumstances, she had a responsibility to fight for this rare opportunity for Waver.

On the surface, she appears carefree and playful, but deep down she takes this competition very seriously.

"I wonder what the questions will be tomorrow?" Gretel muttered to herself, a little worried.

Waver gently shook his head. "Don't think about these things. No matter what the problem is, we just need to treat it seriously."

Unlike others, he prefers to conserve his energy rather than try to guess the questions, so that he can have better energy to face them.

"Waver, you seem pretty confident!" Melvin teased.

"It's not that I'm confident, I'm just choosing the best option."

Waver calmly said, "If we still haven't won by then, it just means I'm not good enough, and I can't blame anyone else."

Waver becomes exceptionally serious whenever it comes to anything related to Iskandar.

He naturally longed to see Iskandar again through the Holy Grail, but if he failed, it would only be his own fault.

He wouldn't blame anyone, nor would he resort to extreme measures; to him, it was all a test.

This was a test to see if he was truly qualified to become the king's subject and to see the king again.

The closer it got to this point, the calmer he became.

Hesitation like last time will only bring more variables; he has already learned this the hard way.

One cannot fall in the same place twice. As a wise man, he learns from his failures very quickly.

Waver's eyes were very determined.

The second day finally arrived. Today is the last day of the Holy Grail War. After tonight, this Holy Grail War will be completely over.

Some people began to feel melancholy about parting, while others began to look forward to today's competition.

Regardless of their feelings, everyone eventually gathered together again, waiting for Scathach to announce today's competition.

Scathach saw that everyone had arrived and did not delay.

She said calmly, "Today's competition is combat."

"Fighting?"

"Didn't we say we couldn't fight?"

"Ah, this battle is great!"

Everyone reacted differently, expressing surprise at today's topic.

After discussing it amongst themselves, they looked at Scathach again, waiting for her to explain the detailed rules.

Those who are paying attention will have already guessed that this will not be an ordinary battle, otherwise it would contradict what Scathach said at the beginning.

The premise of not determining the winner of this Holy Grail War through combat was set from the beginning, and Scathach would never break that rule.

Therefore, the battle she is talking about must be a battle of other kinds, rather than the one that everyone thinks is simply decided by force.

What kind of method will it be?

Everyone is looking forward to it.

Chapter 76, Section 297: Stop Persecuting Osakabehime!

When Scathach announced that today's competition would be a battle, everyone was somewhat surprised.

However, upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that the methods of combat must be different; at the very least, it cannot be direct combat.

As for what method will be used, everyone is waiting for Scathach's final explanation.

Scathach didn't keep everyone waiting long; she quickly began to explain.

"The battle will take place in a virtual environment, so you can rest assured that you will be able to unleash your full potential without any worries."

"Wow! Is this a battle like the games Master often plays?"

The children cheered, showing they were very interested in the game.

This even made Yuxian a little itchy; such a fighting style must be very interesting.

However, given his weak strength, he might only be slightly better than Fujimura Taiga among the people here, and he might not even be as good as Irisviel or Waver. He's not qualified to fight against Servant.

After hearing Scathach's words, Mash seemed to have thought of something.

She asked, "Is the virtual combat Miss Scathach talking about similar to the virtual combat equipment at Chaldea?"

Scathach smiled and nodded. "To be precise, they were made by the same person."

"I have contacted Da Vinci, and she prepared this equipment overnight. She will explain the detailed rules to you."

Da Vinci?

Yuxian blinked. No wonder. This guy seemed to be bored too. Being on duty at Chaldea was a bit boring, so he secretly joined in.

"Hi hi! The all-powerful and beautiful Da Vinci-chan is here in all her glory!"

Suddenly, a Projection appeared in the Matou Family's living room, showing Da Vinci-chan face.

"Da Vinci-chan, we miss you!"

The children had such sweet tongues that this made Da Vinci smile even more.

She said, "I miss you all too, my little darlings!"

The children were very happy to see Da Vinci.

Gretel suddenly said, "Da Vinci-chan, could you secretly help us later? If we win, we'll bring you lots and lots of delicious food when we get back."

Yuxian quickly covered his face. How could someone talk about cheating so openly? Why not say it secretly?

Da Vinci put on a very serious face and said, "That won't do. Today I am the fair Da Vinci-chan, and I will not help you cheat."

"Tch! Stingy."

The children's attempt at open bribery failed.

Olga Marie then raised a question.

She said, "Wouldn't this be unfair to non-combatants? After all, there are people here who are neither Magus nor Servant."

She glanced at Fujimura Taiga, her meaning clear.

At the same time, this is also her way of fighting for her own rights. Although she is Magus, her strength is far from enough compared to that of Servant, and Olga Marie is well aware of this.

"Oh my, it's Director Xiaojie. I know it's not the same person, but I still feel a sense of familiarity."

Da Vinci felt a pang of nostalgia upon seeing Olga Marie.

"I have already considered the problem of the Director's daughter. I will retrieve the Servant data from the Chaldea database, and you can randomly select one Servant's ability to use."

"I'm not the director," Olga Marie explained, then nodded. "That means I have no problem."

"Wait a minute, Da Vinci-chan, I don't remember Chaldea's equipment having such a function."

Yuxian quickly asked, as he didn't recall Chaldea having such a good thing; otherwise, he would have tried it long ago.

"Of course, it's my masterpiece, the result of my painstaking efforts as an all-powerful and beautiful girl!"

Da Vinci wore a very deliberate expression.

"Isn't it interesting? Heh heh... Who told me to be Uomo Universale?"

The children's eyes lit up when they heard what Da Vinci said.

"Wow! Can we choose other people's abilities too? I want to choose the Golden Flash!" Gretel said impatiently.

Although they usually disliked Golden Flash, they still highly recognized his abilities.

Da Vinci shook his head. "You can't choose for yourself; it has to be random. That's part of the game. We can't let you use whoever you want; that would be unfair to the others."

"Tch! If we randomly pick Osakabehime, wouldn't we be guaranteed to lose? No, no, that's too risky."
