You're Next, Otto! (Continued)

"So, this formidable lady, what are your thoughts on our next move?"

Furina: "..."

Go ask Amon about this!!

What was the point of asking her?

Did she look like the leader of this side?!

She felt somewhat dejected.

They were both Archons... but Amon possessed top-tier combat power beneath the Heavenly Principles.

Crossing worlds, toying with time, correcting history, rewriting the world's memories...

All sorts of miraculous feats emerged one after another.

As for her, she barely had any divine power left. All she had was her acting.

How wonderful would it be if she had Amon's strength...

Perhaps then, she could openly be herself.

A hint of loneliness filled her mismatched blue eyes.

"Tell her that we're preparing to directly announce a Master's Night."

"Everyone will try to gather peacefully and see whether there's a way to obtain the Holy Grail without conflict."

Russell leaped from Huihui's arms onto Furina's shoulder and spoke.

Naturally, he was not expecting them to talk their way into deciding who got the Holy Grail.

—That was not because he believed communication was ineffective.

The main issue was that he had not fabricated a Holy Grail at all. There was no victory reward to distribute.

He wanted to gather everyone simply to see just how much chaos the current lineup could produce.

That way, in the second playthrough, he could dump every last bit of blame onto Otto's head.

Upon hearing that,

the Archon seemed to gain a backbone in an instant.

"Ahem, I think perhaps everyone should gather together and see if we can get acquainted and understand one another in a relatively peaceful way, then decide who gets the Holy Grail with as little bloodshed as possible?"

She presented her so-called proposal in an actor-like, somewhat exaggerated tone.

"Like this?"
