Chapter 88 - The Great Hero no longer wants to self-detonate!

『 At this moment.

"Although I use my Noble Phantasm every time, it doesn't matter much to me, but I really want to recite my victory lines for once…"

Helpless words echoed through the air. 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

It made all the viewers feel inexplicably distressed!

Regardless of anything else, such a line caused an ominous premonition to well up in the hearts of all the viewers.

At the same time, a trace of doubt involuntarily appeared in their minds.

What exactly is the true identity of this Heroic Spirit?

One must know that the other two Heroic Spirits appearing on the screen are incredibly heavy hitters.

One is the strategist of an ancient Eastern power, and the other is the one who taught the King of Knights, also a relatively famous magus in the world.

Without a doubt, both of them are the kind of support with immense power.

It is only natural that they possess the qualifications to work overtime.

But who exactly is the true identity of that Archer on the screen, that he can actually enjoy the same treatment as these two?

And why can't he recite his victory lines?

For a moment, a sense of confusion appeared in the minds of all the viewers.

.....

〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the images on the screen and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What exactly is going on with that Heroic Spirit?"

Hearing such words, he also realized that things were not quite simple.

If a Heroic Spirit uses their Noble Phantasm, isn't that a very normal thing?

"Could it be…"

As if realizing something, Emiya Kiritsugu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Could it be that the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm comes with a price!?"

There are many Heroic Spirits in this world, and some of them are quite special.

There are restrictions or similar things to fully unleash a Noble Phantasm.

For example, sacrificing one's own body…

If that's the case, it would explain why the Heroic Spirit on the screen could say such things.

In the Sixth Singularity of the Knights of the Round Table—

Arash looked at the video on the screen and fell silent.

He completely hadn't expected that after being summoned to Chaldea, he would actually be forced to work overtime too.

Even though his Noble Phantasm is a trump card that can only be used once…

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Arash (Archer): ..... ]

[ Hundred-Face Hassan (Assassin): Great Hero Arash! I didn't expect you to meet such a fate as well? ]

[ Sherlock Holmes (Ruler): If that's the case, it is understandable. The Great Hero from Persia, whose most famous verse ended a 60-year war between two countries, dividing the land between Persia and Turan with a single ultimate arrow! ]

[ Tohsaka Rin: It is said that the arrow directly pierced the stars and split the earth, creating a 2500m ravine! And the price is also very obvious. ]

[ .....]

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

At this moment, the Heroic Spirits and magi of all worlds analyzed Arash's true name.

They had even guessed the nature of his Noble Phantasm pretty accurately.

Suddenly, everyone fell somewhat silent.

According to the deeds of that Great Hero, his Noble Phantasm is likely one that can be used once per battle.

And every time, he has to pay with his own life.

If that is the case, then this Gudako is indeed quite the capitalist.

.....

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Mash Kyrielight: How is that possible? That means the Senpai in the other world actually forces her Heroic Spirit to continuously self-destruct every day? This kind of behavior… isn't it a bit too chaotic? ]

[ Fujimaru Ritsuka: Even if it's another version of me, I have to lament, you simply aren't human! ]

[ Chaotic Evil Gudako: What are you saying? Is the Great Hero not useful? He has a self-charge, high damage, and comes with a built-in switch-out, plus his cost is low. He is simply a treasure! ]

[ .....]

〜In the Worldline of G̶̘̏̕͜ṟ̶͠a̵̹͂̆n̵̻̤̎d̶̞͐ ̷̫͇͑C̸̛̪̬ȃ̴̯r̵̓̓͜n̸̜̋͗î̷̭v̸̱͆ȃ̷̫̚l̵͚̋ Worldline, Chaldea〜

Facing everyone's condemnation.

Gudako, on the contrary, looked completely self-righteous.

Are you kidding? A Servant as useful as the Great Hero—not only can he automatically switch out, saving her a Mystic Code slot, but he also possesses decent damage and can gain good returns in farming loops.

She's winning big!

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

And facing Gudako's self-righteous words, all the viewers couldn't help but fall silent.

As expected of an existence like the Evils of Humanity…

Since she can say such things so self-righteous things, she is already a capitalist who cannot be punished merely by hanging from a street lamp.

.....

〜In the Worldline of Fourth Holy Grail War〜

Meanwhile, Waver couldn't help but feel his vision go dark.

Whenever he thought about his future self having to work under such a boss.

He felt his heart twitching.

Life was hopeless…

Accompanied by the discussions of all the viewers, the video on the screen continued to play.

『 After listening to the complaints of the two, Merlin, on the other side, couldn't sit still either.

Originally, as a fun-seeker coming to this Chaldea, he merely wanted to see more stories.

To harvest more amusement…

As a result, just after being summoned, he immediately became an object of exploitation.

"In high-difficulty quests… Eternally Secluded Utopia is always getting longer and longer…"

Unlike other Servants, although Merlin's skills also have very powerful effects, it is obvious that the Evils of Humanity, Gudako, prefers to make Merlin work overtime in high-difficulty quests.

After all, Merlin's Noble Phantasm possesses very powerful effects: healing, NP regeneration, star generation…

It can be said that he possesses extremely superior long-term combat capabilities.

Without a doubt, it is an extremely powerful Noble Phantasm.

And precisely because of this, he constantly uses ⦍Garden of Avalon⦎ to work non-stop!

And thus possessed countless Avalons. 』

『 .....』

In the Inner Sea of the planet, in the furthest tower—

Watching everything on the screen, Merlin inside Avalon could only remain silent.

Thinking about everything on the screen, he felt his vision go dark.

Having to chant spells non-stop is very tiring…

And at this moment in the group chat, countless viewers couldn't help but start discussing.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Artoria Pendragon (Saber): I really didn't expect that I would actually see Merlin meet such a fate. ]

[ .....]

〜In the Worldline of Fifth Holy Grail War〜

Artoria looked at the images on the screen and couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth rise slightly.

After all, scenes where she can see that scummy Merlin complaining are rare.

(Gudako, thank you.jpg.)

Undoubtedly, when she saw Merlin on the screen being forced to work overtime, her mood was very pleasant.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Romani Archaman: …Although it is indeed hard for me to evaluate such behavior, I don't know why, but seeing that Merlin meets such a fate, my heart actually feels a trace of satisfaction. ]

[ Fou: Fou… FOU!!! (Nice WORK!!!) ]

[ Ryougi Shiki: It feels like the Heroic Spirits in that Chaldea are living in deep water and scorching fire, but they are guys who can't help it; who told them to be summoned by the Evils of Humanity? ]

[ .....]

At this moment, Heroic Spirits and magi from all worlds discussed one after another.

And the video on the screen continued to play.

『 At this moment, the narrator's voice sounded again.

"Mr. Kongming expressed that recently, no matter what he does, he feels troubled."

As these words fell, the perspective on the screen shifted to Lord El-Melloi II's side.

At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh and then voiced his troubles.

"Also… since I have to appear every time, I must pay attention to interpersonal relationships within the team."

"The wrinkles between my brows have deepened quite a bit…"

Clearly, in order to handle all these matters well, Lord El-Melloi II could be said to be dealing with them with all his might.

He really hadn't expected that the workload in Chaldea would be even more arduous than when he was at the Clock Tower.

Just as he was still complaining, the sound of Chaldea's broadcast echoed again.

⟦ Servants assigned to the First Party, sorry to keep you waiting! ⟧

⟦ Rayshifting to the First Singularity, Orleans, is about to begin… ⟧

The incredibly cold broadcast voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the three people on the field…

This sound was like a death warrant.

The three people couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

They understood very well that this broadcast was actually speaking to the three of them.

They had just gotten off work, and now they had to rush non-stop to another Singularity to work overtime!

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on the faces of all three simultaneously.

"We just came back from the Training Grounds…"

"Oh my~, oh my~ It's time for the next round of Heroic Spirit shaping again."

The next second, as if to urge the few of them, the broadcast voice echoed again.

⟦ This is a three-turn farming quest. Please bring the designated Craft Essences and proceed quickly to Gate 1… ⟧

⟦ Repeating once more… ⟧

Regarding such a voice, although the three felt extreme dissatisfaction in their hearts.

After all, no one likes to work overtime every day.

But facing the Evils of Humanity, they had neither the heart nor the power to resist.

After all, that is an existence that can burn Cu Chulainn Alter without hesitation, even during the Heroic Spirit Sports Festival.

She can be described as "ruthless."

No Heroic Spirit wants to turn into Mana Prisms.

Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that few Heroic Spirits want to resist.

So these three could only be forced to work overtime.

The three immediately stood up and headed to the location mentioned in the broadcast.

"Recently, I feel dizzy as soon as I hear this broadcast. I've even thought about simply summoning Kongming himself and handing everything over to him, but maybe I'm thinking too much…" 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

And hearing these words at this moment, all the viewers fell silent.

Although they had realized before that overtime work in this Chaldea was very common.

But they didn't expect it to be this ridiculous…

These three Heroic Spirits hadn't rested for long before being dragged off to work overtime!

In this moment, they finally understood just how crazy overtime at Chaldea was.

At this moment, Heroic Spirits and magi from all worlds couldn't help but start complaining.

〜In the Worldline of Witch on the Holy Night〜

Aozaki Aoko looked at everything on the screen and couldn't help but fall silent.

Only after a long while did she issue a lament of her own.

"…This, is a Evils of Humanity!"

Now she was more certain than anyone that calling Gudako an Evils of Humanity was definitely not wronging her!

It was truly too hellish; even she couldn't help but feel pity for the Heroic Spirits on the screen.

And in the group chat at this moment, countless viewers also voiced their own complaints.

〜Viewer's Chat Room〜

[ Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi: How miserable. Even the work in the Clock Tower isn't as miserable as theirs. They clearly just sat down to rest not long ago, and now they have to go work overtime again. ]

[ Kotomine Kirei: I originally thought my job was hard enough. After all, every Holy Grail War, they make such a big commotion out of a secret war, forcing me to think of all sorts of excuses to shut the citizens' mouths. Now it seems that kind of work is actually decent. ]

[ Irisviel Von Einzbern: Are you sure you're making things up? Don't you use the excuse of a gas leak every time? ]

[ Arcueid Brunestud: This is a bit too miserable, isn't it? They haven't rested for long before being forced to work. ]

[ Gilles de Rais (Caster): I don't know how to evaluate this. I can only place an electronic wooden fish here for now. ]

[ Illyasviel Von Einzbern (Magical Girl): Do your best, Onii-chan who is working frantically overtime! ]

[ .....]

Accompanied by the buzzing discussions of all the viewers, the content on the screen continued to play.

『 At this moment, the scene shifted to the game room!

An image appeared in everyone's field of view.

It was Columbus!

As a navigator, and also a member of the low-star group.

He and Blackbeard had become bosom friends.

While others were still working overtime, as part of the standby group, he ran to the game room to play "Pachinko"!

"Is it really okay for you to come to a place like this?"

"Why care about so much, partner? She won't take me out anyway. What can I do?"

Hearing Columbus's answer, the narrator suddenly fell silent.

A second later, the voice continued to echo.

"Don't you train?"

"Even if I don't train, I can unleash my Noble Phantasm at any time. Provided I can get on the field…"

Hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

That is probably something unlikely to happen.

"Do you have nothing else to do?"

"This is my labor, isn't it?"

"You don't work?"

Regarding the narrator's doubts, Columbus merely explained indifferently.

"I'll go in a moment…"

While speaking, the movements of his hands did not stop at all.

He continued to operate the pinball machine in his hands.

The next second.

That pinball machine immediately emitted its own sound.

⟦ So hot-blooded! Look! It's coming, it's coming, it's coming… Sorry! Try again next time! ⟧

Facing such a result, a look of anger appeared on Columbus's face.

"Damn IT!!!"

Seeing this scene, the narrator voiced a curious sound again.

"Are you going to continue playing?"

"People, at any time, must not give up on their dreams. As long as you don't give up… you will definitely find the TREASURE!!!" 』

『 .....』

『 Viewers of Countless Worldline 』

Listening to such lines, all the viewers fell silent.

For a split second, they almost thought this was some shonen protagonist.

However, this guy is damn well gambling.

Suddenly, they couldn't hold back their reactions!

But it was understandable; after all, he is a pirate, and indeed loves wealth.

.....

『 And on the other side, Blackbeard finally began his plan.

At the same time, the narrator's voice continued to echo.

"That day, Mr. Blackbeard made up his mind and went to a place…"

"He called upon his Servant companions to launch a demonstration!"

Accompanying the narrator's voice, Heroic Spirits from various places and different eras…!

They were all protesting here because of their own needs.

There were Heroic Spirits dissatisfied due to excessive overtime, and also Heroic Spirits dissatisfied because they couldn't get on the field.

At this moment, everyone gathered together, shouting the slogan "We unite."

In short, for various purposes, they gathered together!

And they intended to resist that final big boss of Chaldea—The Beast of Humanity! Gudako! 』
