Type-Moon, but the Servant is Tom

Chapter 51: Arash: Is This River?!

At this moment, Tom was doing the same thing as Bai Song, using a pair of binoculars he had somehow procured to look in the direction he had returned from earlier.

Then he heard Bai Song accusingly say, "You led the enemy here, didn't you?" It felt as if a big, round blame was placed on his back.

Upon hearing this, Tom immediately turned his head, looking bewilderedly at Bai Song. He pointed at himself with his finger, as if asking Bai Song to take a good look at him and reconsider. It was as if he was saying, "Are you sure it's me, this clueless cat?"

Seeing Tom's gesture, Bai Song nodded earnestly.

Tom vigorously shook his head, as if he were a bell, adamantly denying any involvement. He was afraid that Bai Song would use this as a reason to revoke the reward he had promised him for fighting.

He was really looking forward to his reward, and no matter what, he had to eat a big chicken leg today. If Bai Song were to cancel it because of this, it would be a major disaster.

"That's fine then... Prepare for battle. Looks like we're about to fight again." Seeing Tom's reaction, Bai Song knew that he had most likely unintentionally led the enemy here. Whether he asked or not didn't really matter anymore, as the enemy had arrived. Besides, even if he asked, he wouldn't get a reasonable answer.

After all, they had just shot down the drone, so the only difference now was the speed at which the enemy arrived.

The enemy came from the direction Tom had run off to, clearly realizing that they had been discovered in reverse reconnaissance. So instead of hiding, they came straight to their door to start a fight.

Although he didn't know why, ever since last night when he intervened in the fight at the entrance of Homurahara Academy, Bai Song had the feeling that his side was being targeted. Since early morning, he had been surrounded on all sides, a pitiful situation. He shouldn't have followed that lightning and joined in on the spectacle. As a result, instead of enjoying the show, he attracted resentment.

At the same time, Bai Song was also very puzzled by one question. Wasn't the Holy Grail War supposed to take place secretly at night? Why were these individuals so brazen, coming for a fight in broad daylight?

Bai Song used the binoculars to observe the two unfriendly approaching Servants and made up his mind, once again preparing himself for battle. Panicking was unnecessary. With him, Tom, and Jerry together, they were more than capable of tearing through the Holy Grail War!

Regardless of where the enemy came from or how many of them there were, it had nothing to do with Bai Song. All he knew was that he, Tom, and Jerry were about to embark on a killing spree!

Just as Bai Song finished saying his words about preparing for battle, a glimmer of cold light appeared in the far distance, followed by an arrow shooting towards Bai Song like a cannonball. The distance between them was now less than two hundred meters.

In this critical moment, Jerry, who had been watching the distance, was the first to react. Startled by the incoming arrow, he instinctively covered his head with both hands, even floating a few centimeters off the ground. As soon as he landed, he immediately began searching for a weapon. He had casually discarded the bow and arrows he had used earlier to pretend he had no knowledge of Tom being shot.

Now Jerry had to find another weapon. After scanning the surroundings, Jerry seemed to have found something. Eventually, he pulled out a slingshot that was even bigger than his mouse-sized body from seemingly empty space.

With only a mouse's arm span, it was impossible for Jerry to hold the slingshot's frame with one hand and use the other to pull back the rubber band. So, he jumped from Bai Song's shoulder to the ground. He inserted the slingshot into the ground and picked up a small stone from the nearby ground, placing it on the rubber band. Jerry then immediately pulled back the rubber band, retreating while exerting force.

Even though Jerry had spent so much time on preparation, the arrow in the distance still hadn't reached its destination. It was as if the arrow's trajectory had been mysteriously elongated. It kept flying and maintaining a high speed, but Jerry had taken so much time to prepare that the arrow was still in the air.

It was as if the arrow would never reach them as long as the perspective remained on Jerry.

Jerry retreated about fifty centimeters while still holding the stretched rubber band, taking aim at the arrow that had been flying at a high speed all this time without hitting their side. With the rubber band fully stretched, Jerry finally released it.

"Whoosh!" As Jerry let go, the stone, which had accumulated maximum power, was immediately shot out by the rubber band at an extremely high speed, rapidly heading towards the arrow that had been shooting towards them.

As the stone was launched, the mysterious force interfering with the arrow seemed to disappear. The stone and the arrow quickly closed in on each other until they collided completely.

"Boom!!!"

A hundred meters away, the stone Jerry shot out from his slingshot collided perfectly with the arrow carrying unmatched force. In an instant, a violent explosion occurred, accompanied by a loud blast, as if someone had recklessly fired a cruise missile into this residential area.

The explosion happened directly overhead the residential area, causing the sound to be heard by many residents who were indoors and even seeing the lingering smoke.

Feeling the heat wave sweeping over him due to the explosion, Bai Song quickly raised his hands to shield his face and exclaimed, "Damn!"

"So, it's on!" Bai Song exclaimed as he looked at the small mushroom cloud rising in the distance. He then noticed Jerry, who was standing on the ground, patting his own feet and seeking recognition for his contribution.

Noticing the slingshot still trembling on the ground, Bai Song immediately realized that Jerry had intercepted the attack just now. "Well done, Jerry!" he praised.

Far away, Arash, who had just leaped into the air for an aerial attack on Bai Song from a diagonal angle, hadn't even begun to descend when he saw his shot arrow being intercepted. However, he hadn't realized what had just happened, despite having the A+ ranked skill Clairvoyance. He hadn't noticed what had occurred!

What he had noticed was merely a stone flying towards Bai Song's direction, and then... there was no "then." He had just shot the arrow towards Bai Song, without getting the chance to observe his opponent's strength, only to witness his own arrow being destroyed midway. The speed of this interception was incredibly fast, likely only taking a few milliseconds.

"So fast!" Arash exclaimed, watching the explosion caused by the destruction of his arrow.
