Chapter 42: Kryptonite Addict!

"Can you all be serious? This isn't some funny story, it's the Holy Grail War, damn it!" Waver exclaimed.

Looking at the duo in front of him, Waver could only cover his face with both hands. He no longer had the courage to face reality.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The Holy Grail War he had imagined was one where everyone would scheme against each other, where Masters wouldn't willingly step into the limelight but instead assist their Servants through various magical means or gather information covertly. In the early stages, they would avoid unnecessary battles until they had comprehensive intelligence, and only start fighting in the later days. Eventually, the strongest team would emerge as the winners and obtain the Holy Grail.

But looking at the current situation, it had completely lost the essence of a Holy Grail War.

He had come to participate in the Holy Grail War with dreams in his heart, even reluctantly preparing himself for the possibility of never returning to London. However, not only were the Servants underperforming, but the opponents were also incredibly absurd.

If it weren't for his obsession with obtaining the Holy Grail and proving his worth, as well as the least significant reason of owing money to a classmate, he would probably have already considered returning to London.

Speaking of which, when he saw Bai Song being so arrogant on TV while evading the police, he almost doubted if the Holy Grail War was just a cover-up, actually a large-scale prank show, and he was being live-streamed. If he didn't know that he was currently useless, Waver would think it was quite possible.

"Rest assured, with me here, there won't be any surprises," Zhuge Liang reassured, patting Waver's shoulder and continuing to watch TV.

Why couldn't Waver believe Zhuge Liang's words? His face even darkened. Waver thought to himself, this guy's shamelessness is truly unparalleled.

"It's only with you around that there will be surprises..."

On the rooftop of a building, a woman named Mai was operating a drone, overlooking the residential area where Tom and Soji had previously fought. After confirming that Soji had completely escaped, she took out a walkie-talkie and began reporting, "Kiritsugu, it seems that the Servant wearing a bikini outfit has been defeated."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's reaction, Mashu immediately understood that Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to enter a state of frenzy. Considering the many Servants who had been beaten by Fujimaru Ritsuka in the past, Mashu quickly said, "It's just your imagination, senpai."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, yes, it must be!" After saying that, Mashu quickly diverted Fujimaru Ritsuka's attention to something she would definitely be interested in.

"By the way, the doctor has already located the leylines suitable for summoning Servants here."

"Summon... Servants?!!" The moment Fujimaru Ritsuka heard those words, she immediately stopped pondering her previous questions. Her facial expression changed instantly, her face visibly reddened, and her sanity index started to decline rapidly.

Staring at Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka excitedly said, "Speaking of summoning Servants, it definitely involves spending money, right?!!"

"Hmm? Hm...?"

"This... This is amazing! Kryptonite! Kryptonite, Kryptonite!!!" In just an instant, Fujimaru Ritsuka... no, Gudako entered chibi mode. With an extremely flushed face, she stuck out her tongue and started spinning it around. She even began to dance around, first waving her hands and feet and then twisting her upper body at a 90-degree angle while shaking her butt. "SSR! That's right, as long as I whale, I can definitely pull an SSR!!! Gacha, gacha, gacha!"

Watching Gudako in this state, Mashu couldn't help but take a step back. It was too strange, really too strange. She didn't seem like a human at all.

"However... before that, senpai... please take a proper look at your wallet." Unable to bear watching Gudako like this any longer, Mashu quietly reminded her.

"Ehehe~!" Upon hearing Mashu's words, Gudako suddenly snapped back to reality. She pulled out the pockets on either side of her skirt and looked at her empty pockets, taking a sharp breath. Gudako instantly returned to her normal demeanor, then dropped to her knees and placed her hands on the ground, expressing extreme sadness. "I don't have a single penny..."

Seeing Gudako in this state, Mashu swallowed and finally took out a golden card from her pocket.

"Senpai, what do you think this is?"
