Chapter 30: Killing Intent from the Dark Forces

Chapter 30: Killing Intent from the Dark Forces

"Poof, it's the same spot again." Merlin lay on the ground, rubbing his left cheek that had been marked with a paw print, feeling extremely sad.

Fou is the one he picked up, so it shouldn't be a problem if she gets lost again, right? Besides, he did it out of kindness, unable to bear the pain of imprisoning himself in the tower with Fou, so he kicked her down with one foot.

The tower isn't tall, just about twenty-something floors.

It's just that because he kicked her back four to five hundred years earlier, Fou has been falling in a continuous loop for several hundred years.

Coming back here, Fou didn't stop at knocking down Merlin. Even after Merlin had already fallen to the ground, she fiercely jumped on his face several times, hitting him perfectly each time. It was as if she had some unfathomable hatred towards Merlin, beyond just ordinary resentment.

"Fou-hmph!" After exhaling on Merlin's face, Fou jumped off his face and returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder.

Looking at Merlin, who had just been mercilessly stomped on several times by Fou and was still lying on the ground wailing, Mashu hesitated for a moment and finally asked about Merlin's current condition, "Um, Merlin-san, are you alright?"

Before Merlin could answer, Fujimaru Ritsuka preemptively said while playfully teasing the obedient Fou on their shoulder, "He's fine~, after all, he's Merlin. No matter how much he gets kicked, he won't die."

"Guwoo, how can I be fine? My handsome face was ruthlessly stepped on several times." Rubbing his left cheek, Merlin pushed himself up from the ground with both hands, looking quite disheveled.

Watching the three of them conversing normally, Iri's mind suddenly couldn't keep up. (Name: Irisviel - Iris - Iri |same person)

Based on what just happened, she could already determine that these two girls who suddenly appeared should not be enemies, and they seemed to be familiar with Merlin. That made Iri feel somewhat puzzled.

The girl with purple hair was clearly a Servant, so it wouldn't be surprising if she had known Merlin in her past life. But the key point was the other girl with orange hair, who had three Command Seals clearly visible on her right hand. She was undoubtedly a Master, so how did she know Merlin? Moreover, they seemed quite familiar with each other.

To be honest, initially Iri had a suspicion that Merlin might be colluding with them, considering how eccentric he was, and she felt that any absurd thing he did would be reasonable.

"Don't you know about the Holy Grail War?" Iri, who had been listening to their conversation, appeared even more bewildered.

Surprisingly, as a Servant, she didn't even know about the Holy Grail War. Iri couldn't believe that such a situation existed. She had thought Merlin was already outrageous enough, but now she discovered that there was something even more outrageousshe didn't even know about the Holy Grail War.

"Anyway, let's head to the base first. We can explain everything in detail when Kiritsugu arrives," Merlin said, not waiting for anyone's reaction. He took the lead and hurriedly moved forward.

His actions were so swift that it was hard not to suspect someone pointing a gun at him.

---------------------------------------------------

The next morning, in the haunted mansion... or rather, the small house where Bai Song, Tom, and Jerry were temporarily staying.

Bai Song woke up early, and I mean really early. Not his usual definition of waking up early, which was before 1 p.m. in his pre-transmigration days. Today, he miraculously got up at 8 a.m.!

As a result, Bai Song felt extremely uncomfortable. Normally, at this time, he would still be sleeping soundly. But today was different. It was as if he had broken the natural order by waking up so early!

Of course, this didn't mean that Bai Song's biological clock had magically transformed into that of a regular person. To be more accurate, he didn't wake up naturally; he was... blasted awake!

Early in the morning, when the cat and mouse were already at it again, a lightning bolt struck right next to Bai Song, causing an explosion. Thanks to this lightning bolt, whose source he couldn't determine (whether it was Tom or Jerry who threw it), Bai Song reluctantly woke up early for once.

Before Bai Song could even recover from his bewildered state, he saw another fist-sized lightning bolt hurled towards his face from seemingly nowhere.

"Bang!!!" Bai Song's face instantly filled with horror as he quickly threw it away. Although he knew that the lightning bolt wouldn't harm him, it was still terrifying. If a normal person were struck by such a lightning bolt, even if it didn't kill them, it would definitely give their brain a good shake.

Seeing the house already crumbling, Bai Song suddenly snapped out of his drowsiness and hastily shouted to Tom and Jerry, "Stop! Stop fighting!"
