At this very moment, under the attentive gaze of the viewers, the entire video continued to play.
『 Lord El-Melloi II, the vessel for Zhuge Liang, soon appeared on the screen.
Originally a young man who looked quite dashing, he now appeared incredibly haggard.
At the same time, an incomparably bitter voice echoed out.
"Lately, I feel dizzy as soon as I hear a broadcast…"
Accompanying these words, the scene on the screen shifted.
In the next second, he appeared in a hospital.
The black outfit on his body had been swapped for a hospital gown.
At this moment, he was lying on a bed, looking incredibly haggard, holding a glittering Golden Apple in his hand!
Meanwhile, Lord El-Melloi II let out a voice filled with helplessness.
"…So someone has to do the work for them."
Looking at the Golden Apple on the screen, all the viewers felt a sense of confusion. 』
『 .....』
Just then, Da Vinci appeared in the chat room to explain the function of these Golden Apples.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Da Vinci (Caster): Golden Apples. Although they don't have the miraculous power of Command Spells, they can replenish stamina for Masters and Heroic Spirits who are lacking in energy. ]
[ Atalante (Archer): Golden Apples!? And there are so many of them. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: So these apples are meant specifically for overtime work? I just didn't expect there to be so many Golden Apples. Do they really have to eat that many even when they're sick? ]
[ Waver Velvet: Black-hearted capitalist…! I finally understand the meaning of the title. Even an existence possessed by a Heroic Spirit can be worked until they are hospitalized. ]
[ .....]
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
At this moment, the Heroic Spirits and Mages of all worlds were completely numb.
They absolutely never imagined that even a Heroic Spirit could be worked to the point of hospitalization.
One must know that the physical constitution of a Heroic Spirit far exceeds that of others; generally speaking, such a thing should be impossible.
But the Heroic Spirit on the screen had entered the hospital due to excessive overtime.
They really found it hard to imagine what exactly had happened in between…
.....
〜In the Worldline of ██████ Chaldea〜
Looking at the video on the screen.
The corners of the group's mouths couldn't help but twitch slightly; they absolutely didn't expect the scene on the screen to be so abstract.
Mash couldn't help but voice her own complaint.
"Our Chaldea… shouldn't have this kind of phenomenon, right?"
Although they indeed possessed things like Golden Apples, they generally didn't force Heroic Spirits to work overtime.
Except when events like Nero Fest began, that was when they would use Golden Apples in large quantities.
It could be said that there were only two chances for overtime a year…
In comparison, their Chaldea was much better than the one on the screen.
However, this video left all the viewers with the impression of a "Black-hearted Chaldea," which made her feel a bit unable to hold it together.
And just as all the viewers were discussing spiritedly, the content on the screen continued to play.
『 In the command room of the Chaldea base.
Countless Heroic Spirits were gathered here!
As for the reason they were gathered here, it was because Chaldea's endless overtime had made all the Heroic Spirits unable to bear the burden.
At this moment, the group of Heroic Spirits let out their shouts.
"We also have our pride and persistence as Heroic Spirits!"
"We must take back the future that belongs to us with our own HANDS!!!"
The sounds of protest echoed…
And accompanying the protests of the Heroic Spirits, a few short lines of text appeared on the screen.
⟦ Third Singularity Documentary ⟧
⟦ Heroic Spirit Labor Standards Act ⟧ 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Seeing this scene, all the viewers revealed expressions that said, "I knew it."
When they saw a group of Heroic Spirits gathering together, all the viewers had already guessed the reason for this group's protest.
Undoubtedly, it was precisely that previous overtime behavior…
After all, this was overtime that could land even Heroic Spirits in the hospital; naturally, there would be some form of protest.
.....
In the First Singularity of Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragons: Orleans—
Saint Jeanne d'Arc looked at everything on the screen, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly!
She absolutely never expected this so-called overtime to be so crazy.
To be able to cause a protest from all Heroic Spirits… but thinking about it, it was normal.
After all, even though Zhuge Liang had been admitted into the hospital…
However, at the same time, it made her incredibly curious.
"I wonder if the Evils of Humanity, Gudako, will agree to these conditions?"
And at this moment, the viewers in the entire group chat were also discussing spiritedly.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Merlin: Sure enough, this level of overtime will still cause everyone to protest. However, I don't think that fellow will agree to this protest. ]
[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: Really now, to think it could cause such a large-scale protest. Clearly, all of this is to save Human Order; these are all necessary sacrifices. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: Although saving Human Order will certainly be accompanied by sacrifices, it shouldn't be this kind of exploitative method. ]
[ Wise King Gilgamesh: …Death from overwork? ]
[ .....]
In the Seventh Singularity of Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia—
The Wise King Gilgamesh looked at everything on the screen and couldn't help but fall silent.
It had to be said, when he saw "Death from overwork", an inexplicable palpitation appeared in his heart.
"I don't know why, but when I saw that word, my heart…"
He couldn't help but frown.
At this moment, he absolutely did not anticipate it.
That in the near future, he too would die from "overwork," and in the literal sense.
At this moment, all the viewers were discussing spiritedly, and at the same time, endless curiosity surged in their hearts.
Facing the protests of the Heroic Spirits, what choice would the Evils of Humanity make?
Just as all the viewers were discussing, the content on the screen continued to play.
『 " Human Order Security Organization — Finis Chaldea! "
⟦ Here, there are many Servants. As the last hope of human history, they must bury their heads in busy work every day… ⟧ 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Hearing these words, all the viewers revealed expressions that said, "As expected."
If it's overtime for this kind of thing, it's not actually impossible to understand.
But one cannot engage in overloaded work every single day.
If even Heroic Spirits can be tired to the point of hospitalization, it is obviously no longer just a matter of "overtime."
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Red A also fell silent.
Looking at the treatment of all the Heroic Spirits on the screen, and then looking at himself.
He couldn't help but issue a heartfelt lament.
"Counter Force, you are so gentle…"
One must know that, as a wage slave of the Counter Force, he could be said to be sent out for overtime every now and then.
He originally thought his own boss was already black-hearted enough.
But he didn't expect that Chaldea was even more frenzied and devoid of conscience than the Counter Force.
Even if he constantly went to various places to perform rescue operations, he wouldn't be tired to the point of entering a hospital.
This is truly "there is always someone better, there is always a heaven beyond heaven"!
"Compared to the Master of Chaldea, even the Counter Force has become extremely gentle."
He had to complain; Gudako was indeed an existence with heavy sins.
Such a Master really ought to be hung from a streetlamp.
The Video on the screen continued to play.
『 At this moment, the narration voice continued to echo.
"In a corner of such a Chaldea, the figure of a Servant who does nothing all day appeared…"
"Mr. Edward Teach, commonly known as Blackbeard."
As these words fell, the scene on the screen moved to a brand-new location.
Edward Teach appeared on the screen.
At this moment, he was holding a bottle of drink in his hand! While loudly proclaiming his past battle achievements.
"I was also someone who caused a huge ruckus in the Caribbean as a pirate back in the day. I was known as the cruel and ruthless, tyrannical King of Pirates! Ah… right, didn't I appear in a famous Shonen manga! The protagonist in there is based on me!"
Accompanying these words, the narration voice continued to echo.
"However, what awaited him in Chaldea was the cruel reality known as the Star Rating System!"
That's right, in this Chaldea, the system being followed was the Star Rating System!
And the reason Blackbeard had free time to drink here was that he was a character with only a two-star rarity!
Of course, low rarity did not mean they were useless.
Some low-star war gods would occasionally still have opportunities for overtime.
For example, a certain Second Sister who specifically targets Saber men, or a certain Little Minotaur who can create a labyrinth that even the King of Demon Gods cannot walk out of.
Or perhaps Ai-chan, who always wants to rebel.
These people would possess occasional opportunities to take the field from time to time.
But for Blackbeard…
Wanting to go to work was basically impossible.
Because he didn't have unique skills or a Noble Phantasm as they did.
Of course, such a Blackbeard was merely a microcosm of this group of Heroic Spirits.
Chaldea also possessed quite a few Heroic Spirits who, because their own skills and Noble Phantasms were relatively weak, did not have any opportunities for overtime.
And the narration voice confirmed all of this.
"Supporting Mr. Blackbeard's heart are the partners of the 'Standby Group' who bear the same scars!"
Accompanying these words, Blackbeard and other Heroic Spirits came to an outdoor area.
This group of Heroic Spirits was all Heroic Spirits without any overtime opportunities.
Abbreviated as the Standby Group.
Kid Gil, Marshal Gilles, Fuuma Kotarou…
These Heroic Spirits were all of low rarity, and their own skills and Noble Phantasms had no outstanding features.
So they were all like Blackbeard… 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
And seeing this scene, all the viewers were incredibly surprised.
They absolutely never expected that Chaldea actually possessed such a system.
Of course, rarity does not mean strength…
Quite a few five-star Servants are currently not as easy to use as low-star war gods.
( Here, I'm specifically naming Osakabehime…)
Apart from these, all the viewers also didn't expect the polarization in Chaldea to be so severe.
Some Heroic Spirits had worked overtime to the point of entering the hospital.
Some Heroic Spirits didn't even have the chance to work overtime.
Isn't this a bit too extreme?
For a moment, all the viewers couldn't help but complain.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Olga Marie Animusphere: That Chaldea over there actually possesses such a mechanism. However, it's not impossible to understand. After all, it is to save the Human Order; focusing on cultivating powerful and outstanding Heroic Spirits is the most efficient way. ]
[ Tohsaka Rin: No matter what you say, this group of Heroic Spirits is still Heroic Spirits. Although their utility might be a bit smaller compared to other Heroic Spirits, it's not like they are completely unable to take the field. ]
[ Reines El-Melloi Archisorte: What a truly deformed system! ]
[ Sherlock Holmes (Ruler): Speaking personally, a shift system would be more reliable, right? However, if the Evils of Humanity could engage in such behavior, then she wouldn't be an Evils of Humanity. ]
[ .....]
At this moment, all the viewers were discussing spiritedly, and the content on the screen continued to play.
『 Those low-star Heroic Spirits also began to express their own views.
"…No, I haven't done anything, and I haven't had a chance to take the field…"
"Although I don't have any dissatisfaction with Master, if she doesn't level me up, I can't be of any use."
Hearing the two voices, a look of surprise appeared on Kid Gil's face.
"Oh, she actually leveled me up."
Perhaps because he looked quite good, under the bonus of being a beautiful young boy, even the Evils of Humanity Gudako, very rarely, fed him quite a lot of Embers.
But even so, there was still no room for him to take the field.
After all, he didn't have any outstanding skills, and his Noble Phantasm wasn't ridiculously strong.
"If I can't take the field, it's really quite boring."
"Using powerful Servants to fight more efficiently puts less burden on Master… I can understand this kind of realistic choice."
"It's not to say I can't understand this adult-like way of doing things."
Just as a few of them were discussing, Fuuma, who was lying on the tree, leisurely opened his eyes.
"Being able to take a leisurely nap is something worth being happy about."
"Even if we can only bathe in this artificial sunlight, not being able to take the field is just because the time hasn't come yet. Whether suffering from exhaustion or working, patience is very important." 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』
Listening to such discussions, all the viewers revealed dazed expressions.
But at the same time, they cared more about something else.
They noticed the blonde boy on the screen.
That Heroic Spirit… Young Gilgamesh??
.....
〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜
Tohsaka Rin looked at everything on the screen with incredible surprise.
"That Heroic Spirit's true identity is Kinpika(Goldie)!? You're lying, right? He was so well-behaved when he was little!?"
At this moment, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
This is freaking Kinpika(Goldie)!?
These are clearly two different people, okay? Aside from the extremely similar appearance!?
In those years, what exactly happened to Kinpika for him to turn into his grown-up self?
Uncontrollably, such thoughts surged in her heart.
〜Viewer's Chat Room〜
[ Gilgamesh (Archer): It truly surprises this King immensely! To actually be able to see my young self on this screen. ]
[ Enkidu (Lancer): It really makes one incredibly nostalgic, Gil. I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would still be able to see the young you on this screen. ]
[ Emiya Kiritsugu: It seems his strength is quite a bit weaker; he doesn't even have the chance to go to work. ]
[ Romani Archaman: Not only has his strength become weaker, but even his personality has also become better!? ]
[ Emiya Shirou: So, what exactly happened in those years for this King of Heroes to undergo such a huge change? ]
[ .....]
At this moment, all the viewers were discussing with immense surprise, while the content on the screen continued to play.
The narration voice echoed ceaselessly.
『 "On the other hand, there are also Servants who stand in a different position from Blackbeard and the others and feel dissatisfied…"
Accompanying these words, a very luxurious restaurant entered the eyes of all the viewers.
And at the dining table were three Servants!
The Great Hero Arash, who frequently self-destructs, the overworked Zhuge Liang, and that famous internet scammer Merlin!
These three were undoubtedly Chaldea's star players!
Their own strength was already sufficiently powerful, coupled with their broad applicability.
This made them heroes among the overtime workers…
"Mr. Zhuge Liang, a popular figure fought over by all sides during battle, ranking among the top in Servant rankings."
Accompanying such narration, Zhuge Liang, next to him, also voiced these complaints.
"In the beginning, I simply felt happy. After all, compared to other proper Heroic Spirits, I am just a Pseudo-Servant, and my Noble Phantasm isn't an offensive type. Even so, Master still needed me so much. It made me understand very quickly that what Master needs is just my skills."
After all, it was the noble 50% charge!
Possessing such a powerful charging ability made him bear the brunt of this overtime matter.
And on the other side, hearing these words, a bitter smile appeared on Arash's face.
"Although my Noble Phantasm is used every time, it doesn't really matter, but I also really want to recite a victory line for once…" 』
