Conquer the world, young man!

“Tokiomi cannot restrain me.” Gilgamesh seemed to have thought of something. “There is someone much more interesting than him.”

"You want to obtain the Holy Grail?" Totsuka pursed his lips. In this Holy Grail War, the most powerful Servants should be Gilles, Enkidu, and the King of Conquerors. Even if Enkidu and Gilles didn't want to fight him, having Command Seals that could directly issue mandatory orders to Servants would be quite troublesome.

“Randy, if you want the Holy Grail, why don’t you kill Lancer and let me be your Servant?” Gilgamesh chuckled softly and said with certainty, “I will offer the Holy Grail to you as a dowry for our wedding.”

"Wedding?" Totsuka's lips twitched, then he immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Lancer will only ever be my Servant! And with a Master already in your possession, there's no way you could possibly follow another Master."

Gilgamesh ignored Totsuka's objections and replied with some resentment, "Are you really going to continue protecting that bastard like this?"

"It seems that even in the modern world, you haven't learned the proper etiquette for interacting with others," Totsuka scoffed. "Didn't your knowledge in the modern world teach you how to address people properly?"

"Perhaps you've forgotten the past by staying here?" Gilgamesh suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Why did his boy never understand?

“No, I remember it very clearly.” Totsuka shook his head. “But Gil, from our current perspective, we…”

“A familiar.” Gilgamesh’s blood-red eyes looked towards the door, and a familiar that looked like a crow flew in and landed directly in front of the window.

"Is there news?" Totsuka knew that other Masters had familiars coming to inquire about information, so it seemed that something must have happened.

The message conveyed by this familiar was indeed significant: the perpetrator who had been abducting children in Fuyuki City was Caster's Master. Such an incident during the Holy Grail War prompted the Church to exercise its authority as overseer in emergency situations and temporarily change the rules of the Holy Grail War.

All Masters must cease their battles and each strive to eliminate Caster. The Holy Church has also set a condition: the Master who defeats Caster will receive an additional Command Seal. Once Caster is defeated, the Holy Grail War will resume.

Command Seals are indeed essential items for magicians who need to control Servants. Totsuka felt that his three Command Seals were enough, and he might not even have the chance to use them.

“It seems we are indeed on the same side now.” Gilgamesh’s lips curled slightly. “But it’s about attacking Caster. The Church is getting more and more boring.”

"The Church will not turn a blind eye to the fact that magicians and Heroic Spirits are affecting the lives of normal humans." Totsuka raised an eyebrow. "And since they are kidnappers, the impact is quite serious. Are you really not going?"

"Since it's a church, it seems to be related to the time of day." Gilgamesh mused, then smiled upon seeing the boy's expression. "Looks like you're planning to go?"

"If we can take care of one of the Masters, it wouldn't hurt to go and check it out." Totsuka was still thinking about ending the Holy Grail War as soon as possible, but these Heroic Spirits didn't seem to be easy to deal with.

"So you're here! I've been looking for you for ages."

The sound coming from outside the door made Totsuka's eyes light up, and Gilgamesh was also delighted.

After Enkidu found Kenneth was alright, he no longer wanted to stay by his side. He went out the door and found this place by sensing Jill and Randy's abilities.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to arrive, Gilgamesh." Enkidu noticed the boy's slightly swollen lips and felt a growing displeasure with Gilgamesh's actions. After all, he knew that Randy's feelings for him weren't as deep as he had imagined...

"You came anyway, didn't you?" Gilgamesh greeted him like a host. "Enkidu, it's been quite a while since we last met."

Enkidu sat down next to the boy and asked apologetically, "I didn't know how your Servant was, but I didn't expect him to be such a brave fellow in a fight."

"He's fine." Totsuka preferred Enkidu to Gilgamesh, since there were no obstacles in communicating with him. "But you were forced into battle by your Master, that's really..."

"Such a thing actually happened?" Gilgamesh exclaimed. "Is it that scum who's been hiding in the shadows all along?"

“That woman who provides me with magic is annoying too,” Enkidu muttered, resting his chin on his hand. “What’s the point of watching me? I don’t want to be Kenneth’s Servant right now.”

"Your magic wasn't provided by Kenneth?" This was the first time Totsuka had ever heard of such a thing. A Servant could actually rely on the magic of someone other than their Master.

“When it comes to his mastery of magic, Kenneth is indeed quite insightful,” Enkidu nodded and continued, “He completely breaks with convention.”

"If only I could give you a different Master, or..." Totsuka thought of the reward he received after obtaining the Holy Grail, which was the ability to make a wish. Perhaps that would be possible...

“You all know about the campaign against Caster, right?” Enkidu paused, then said, “It seems my Master is definitely going. After all, he’s already used a Command Spell. If he wants to continue controlling me, he probably can’t do it without a Command Spell. Perhaps I should let him use more Command Spells. Once I’m free from the constraints, I can find another master.”

Totsuka laughed at Enkidu's words, exchanged a glance with Enkidu, and said, "You really have a bad heart, Enkidu."

"Can you take me in then?" Enkidu joked, but the seriousness in his tone was clearly discernible.

“If a Master can have multiple Servants, then of course I will take them in,” Totsuka replied seriously. “However, I won’t let you win this Holy Grail War.”

“It’s rare to see you so interested in something.” Enkidu knew Totsuka’s personality well. “An all-powerful wish-granting machine, it certainly sounds tempting.”

Totsuka shook his head. To him, the Holy Grail was merely a tool to complete a mission. What mattered to him were the rewards for success and the penalties for failure. Perhaps he should first inquire about that thing called...

Chapter 87085: Should we collaborate on this project?

Inside the Holy Church, Kotomine Risei frowned deeply as he read the message. What was going on with this Holy Grail War? The original seven mages summoned had become eight, and two of them were even Lancer-class Servants?

However, given the current situation, the Holy Grail War continues, which suggests that this year's war may indeed be facing problems. According to information relayed by the familiars, the Master who appeared also has a close relationship with two of the Servants. For a human to have such a relationship with ancient Heroic Spirits, especially a popular singer, could the recent disappearance rumors be...?

While pondering, Kotomine Risatsu called his son, Kotomine Kirei, to his side. "Kirei, was that the person Tokiomi asked you to investigate?"

Kirei Kotomine nodded silently, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "Very strong."

“This person has too many secrets.” Kotomine Ryougi frowned. “And one of his Servants is Enkidu. I’m afraid even if Tokiomi has the King of Heroes, it’s not safe.”

Kirei Kotomine stood to the side, continuing to listen to his father's remarks.

“However, Tokiomi’s plan should be flawless.” Kotomine Ryougi looked at his son, whom he had always trusted, and smiled gently. “Kirei, with your help to your master, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

Kotomine Ryougi looked at his son, who was standing quietly to the side, and said, "First, we should deal with the other Masters. As for that one person, we should observe and wait before making any rash moves."

"Yes, Father." Kirei Kotomine bowed and withdrew. To be honest, he still didn't understand what his wish was, having been chosen by the Holy Grail...

With Enkidu present, Totsuka's relationship with Gilgamesh finally returned to its original pattern, which made him even closer to Enkidu.

Enkidu was pleased with this interaction, and simply said softly, "My friend, it's wonderful to see you here..."

Totsuka's smile froze. Perhaps it was good to see his friend, but in comparison, he had deceived them both, even though he had chosen a way that would not hurt anyone under those circumstances.

Enkidu's smile widened further as he changed the subject, "After being summoned by the Holy Grail, my Master also researched this Holy Grail War. I originally thought that all seven magicians were gathered, but I didn't expect there to be a Caster as well."

“Just another piece of trash.” Gilgamesh snorted, his blood-red eyes glancing at his two friends. “The others are not worth paying any attention to.”

"In my opinion, those Servants are also very powerful." Totsuka thought of Rider and Berserker, as well as Saber, none of whom were easy opponents to deal with.

"Randy, do you really think they can defeat me?" Gilgamesh stood up, staring at the boy in a deep voice. "It seems I should just put the Holy Grail in your hands to keep you from paying attention to others!"

Totsuka sighed and looked directly at Enkidu.

Enkidu chuckled and waved his hand, "Gil, it's Randy who wants to get the Holy Grail now, he's not your Master."

Gilgamesh thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's good if we each rely on our abilities. If I get the Holy Grail, Randy will marry me. If you, Randy, get it... then you can choose the wedding date."

"Hehe, Gil, you really love to joke around." Totsuka's eyelids were twitching slightly.

Enkidu coughed lightly. "Gil, marriage is no small matter; it depends on the wishes of both parties."

“It’s settled then.” Gilgamesh turned around, his spirit form vanishing. “My friend, await my good news.”

“This person is even more impossible to communicate with now than before!” Totsuka sighed, looking at Enkidu. “How can we get rid of his absurd ideas?”

Enkidu spread his hands. "I thought you should know that no one can persuade him."

"That's why I find it even more troublesome." Totsuka was practically gritting his teeth. From the moment they met, Gilgamesh had become even more of a chuunibyou than before. The old Gilgamesh was much easier to get along with.

Enkidu pursed his lips and asked softly, "Randy, have you never considered accepting Jill's feelings?"

Totsuka shook his head decisively and asked in return, "Enkidu, are you joking with me too?"

Enkidu chuckled softly, but his eyes were fixed on Totsuka. "I really doubt who could make you feel that way. From the past to now, you seem to treat everyone the same."

Totsuka lowered his eyes. "Enkidu, let's stick to the way we always have, and Gilgamesh too."

“Human hearts cannot be controlled.” Enkidu spoke slowly, whether to the boy or to himself, it was unclear. “If there is anything worth remembering in the long years, it is probably only emotions.”

Totsuka thought for a moment, then decided not to dwell on it and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay, there'll always be a way."

"That's exactly how you always do things." Enkidu shook his head helplessly. Perhaps no one could do anything about this boy.

"Looks like there's some news again." Totsuka watched as a white piece of paper flew in through the window and transformed into a human form upon landing. "What did they find out?"

The shikigami that were released have only just returned, so it seems that other Servants are not easy to find either, especially Caster, who has not yet appeared.

The Rain Woman then floated out, looked around, and said, "That golden-glowing fellow is finally gone." Then she turned her gaze to the soulless shikigami.

The shikigami bent down and spoke in a flat tone: "Master, there is a presence underwater in the river at the port of Fuyuki City."

Totsuka nodded and put away the shikigami that had turned back into a paper doll after he finished speaking. Although the shikigami he created now were much stronger than before, they could not be maintained for very long.

"Shall we go take a look together?" Totsuka stood up and said softly, "Diarmuid, you should come too."

Diarmuid, who materialized, nodded silently, glanced at the boy, and then immediately looked away.

Enkidu glanced towards the door and scoffed, "Looks like my Master has come looking for me."

Indeed, Totsuka followed Enkidu's gaze and saw the man walking towards them, just as they had met the previous night, accompanied by a beautiful woman with short red hair.

Kenneth's mood worsened after discovering his Servant's disappearance, even though his injuries had healed considerably. Yet, in this state, Lancer had abandoned his master, disregarding his safety. Kenneth knew without a doubt that Lancer had gone to find that boy who wasn't normal.

Sora was the one providing Lancer with magical energy, and with Kenneth taking her along, finding Lancer was naturally easy. To avoid wasting Command Seals, Kenneth was now hesitant to give Lancer orders casually. Perhaps, now that Lancer harbored resentment towards him, he hoped his Servant would still be as obedient as possible. Otherwise, he would have to resort to using Command Seals to threaten him…

"So you're with him, Lancer." Kenneth frowned. "Are you going to continue having such a close relationship with the enemy's Master? You know, he could easily kill you."

Upon hearing this, Totsuka couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Kenneth, do you think I would harm my own friend? If you think you can use this as a reason to ruin the relationship between me and Enkidu, then you've misunderstood."

Kenneth raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Only the last survivor can obtain ownership of the Holy Grail. How long do you think you can retain such a naive idea?"

"That won't change until the Holy Grail War ends." Totsuka smiled. All he had to do was survive to the end and, after obtaining the Holy Grail, have Tom Sue grant him one of his wishes.

The boy's smile made Kenneth turn his face away. "Lancer, as my Servant, how long are you going to stay?"

Enkidu was, after all, Kenneth's Servant, and Kenneth still had two Command Seals. After thinking for a moment, Enkidu replied, "Master, we should work together before we destroy Caster."

Kenneth nodded noncommittally. "So, how about we go find Caster first?"

Enkidu looked at Totsuka, who nodded to him and said, "Go with him; perhaps you'll find other clues."

Kenneth's brow twitched again. Why was his own Servant now obeying another Master? This was utterly intolerable! Just wait, once his Lancer defeats Caster, he'll possess another Command Seal, and after that…

"Sora, let's go!" Kenneth called out to his fiancée, only to find her gaze fixed on the young Servant.

Sora withdrew her gaze and calmly looked at Kenneth. "Since we're going to fight Caster together, why don't we stick together? That way, we'll have a better chance of defeating Caster."

Totsuka glanced at Diarmuid. He had noticed earlier that the red-haired woman's attention was very focused on him. Considering Diarmuid's looks and character, it was no surprise that women liked him. However, judging from Kenneth's expression, his relationship with Sora must be quite special as well.

"Sora, you actually want to go with them?" Kenneth never expected his fiancée to say such a thing.

Sora nodded. "Since we're all going to find Caster anyway, there's no harm in going together. We can start the Holy Grail War after Caster is defeated; that's the decree issued by the Holy Church."

"Master, what do you think of what Miss Sora said?" Enkidu suppressed his smile and asked softly.

Kenneth was completely exasperated. He glared fiercely at the boy. Sure enough, he had run into him, and one bad thing after another was happening. "Then let's go together."

Diarmuid glanced at his Master, frowning slightly. "Master?"

Totsuka waved his hand. "Since you want to come together, then come along." His voice turned cold as he added, "However, if you do anything unnecessary, I won't tolerate you continuing to follow."
