Type-Moon, but the Servant is Tom

Chapter 76: Gudako: Wut the heck

(title raw anyone can help)

"The aura of a demon... could it be that cat again?!" As soon as Zhuge Liang mentioned the "aura of a demon," before Waver could react, Alexander, who was snacking on some treats, stood up first.

Upon hearing the word "demon," Alexander's first thought went to that cat from hell that knocked him out with a single blow. It was because of that cat's relentless melee attacks and subsequent knockout that he lacked the confidence to go out and fight today.

Throughout the entire day after being humiliatingly defeated by the cat, Alexander had been pondering that if he had fought while riding Bucephalus, he would have surely been able to defeat that somewhat twisted cat. It was an undeniable fact, and Alexander didn't even bother to doubt it.

Shaking his head, Zhuge Liang approached the window with a grave expression and looked into the distance. "No... this chilling feeling is definitely from Chaldea!"

"Eh? Is it that 'evil organization' you mentioned?" As soon as Waver, who was currently lounging lazily on the bed, heard Zhuge Liang's words, he sat up straight, instantly wide awake.

Not only was he no longer sleepy, he was suddenly filled with a sense of dread.

Looking back at Waver, Zhuge Liang asserted, "It's highly possible... no, it's not just possible, it's certain!"

"Gulp." Waver swallowed nervously, and his hands began to tremble.

During the daytime, Waver argued with Zhuge Liang mostly because he had thrown himself out of the window the previous night, which led to Alexander taking him along for a near-disastrous adventure. It was really a case of blaming the person and not the situation.

At that time, he thought that bad luck wouldn't continue indefinitely. With so many participants in the Holy Grail War, the evil organization wouldn't target him, right?

Now he realized that he had signs of being in deep trouble, and Waver began to feel a bit scared.

"What... what should we do now? Should we fight back?"

"It seems that we have no choice but to do so now." With these words, Zhuge Liang once again looked into the distance with deep concern.

It wasn't just Gudako's aura that he sensed, but also a familiar and exceptionally terrifying presence. It was so unsettling that, as a Servant, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine!

In his eyes, the picturesque Fuyuki City was now enveloped in gloom, and darkness... was about to descend upon this land!

On the other side, within the Tohsaka residence.

"Is that so? The group of Servants who were fighting near the Matou Family during the day, have they appeared again?" Tokiomi, upon hearing Kirei's report, seemed unsurprised.

After Tokiomi finished speaking, Kirei quickly responded to him through magic, "However, compared to daytime, it seems that three additional Servants have emerged, all of them being new Servants that we have not seen before."

"So... they have gathered a total of five Servants?" Upon hearing Kirei's words, Tokiomi visibly paused, then furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice, "This quantity is too much. If we include the Archer who was killed by that cat during the day, this Holy Grail War has already seen a total of ten Servants!"

Artoria, sitting on the nearby couch, also raised her head in disbelief, looking at Tokiomi.

As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War typically involves the competition of seven Servants, barring any unexpected circumstances. Yet now, including Artoria on their side and the words of Toturi, the number of Servants that have already appeared is ten, clearly surpassing the scope of a seven-Servant Holy Grail War.

They had initially thought that having two Servants on their side would already give them an advantageous position.

But now, the other party has formed an alliance with four Servants in return, making a total of five Servants. Even if one Servant died during the day, they still have a number of four. Can they handle this?

Tokiomi is truly in a predicament. He was already feeling somewhat uneasy because the Servant summoned wasn't Gilgamesh, but Artoria instead. Now he is being told that this Holy Grail War consists of more than seven Servants, and even the number of Servants they currently see may not be all of them.

Well, might as well start preparing for the Fifth Holy Grail War.

"However, these Servants might not be an unbreakable alliance." Just when Tokiomi was feeling a headache, Kirei suddenly said something.

Upon hearing this, Tokiomi asked, "What do you mean...?"

"I think they can't be considered an invincible alliance. After all, even if they have more Servants, there's only one Holy Grail, which means they all have a predetermined antagonistic relationship," Kirei continued, supplementing his statement, "It's very likely that they are not even in an alliance, but simply organizing a 'crusade' in response to the combination of that cat-like Servant and the male Servant."

Kirei's meaning was clear. This was because they encountered a threat level report, namely the existence of Tom and Bai Song, these two 'Servants'.

So far in the Holy Grail War, all three battles that have occurred were initiated by these two Servants, the one human and the one cat-like.

Moreover, each battle has ended with the victory of these two, the human and the cat.

This dog-like behavior of declaring war everywhere is undoubtedly interpreted by all participants in the Holy Grail War as a dangerous signal.

Like the 'others,' Tokiomi and Kirei also viewed these two, the human and the cat, as the greatest enemies of this Holy Grail War, opponents that must be eliminated with all their might.

Once Tokiomi snapped out of it, he suddenly felt no more fatigue, and his attitude towards this Holy Grail War became optimistic once again.

"In other words, they have surely determined the positions of these two, the human and the cat Servants. That's why they have temporarily united to eliminate the two most threatening Servants before proceeding with the Holy Grail War as usual."

"Kirei, send Assassin immediately, and I will have Saber join the battle too!"

As soon as she realized that she was finally about to enter the field, Altria stood up immediately, prepared for combat. Since being summoned, she had not been deployed, and now that she heard she would be participating in the battle, she naturally felt a sense of excitement.

She is ready to depart at any moment, waiting for Tokiomi's command.

"Do you mean to join them in their crusade against those two Servants?" Kirei confirmed after hearing Tokiomi's instructions.

"No... Send the Servants first, and then we'll consider our options once they start fighting." In simple terms, it's about trying to seize any opportunities.

"Wait, my Assassin says she absolutely will not participate in this battle." Upon hearing this, several question marks popped up above Tokiomi's head. "???"
