How come the Ace of Cups isn't considered the Holy Grail?

It was strange; he felt like he'd seen the other person somewhere before… or more accurately, a white-skinned warrior similar to the other?

However, he did not sense the unique aura of a Servant from Hope, so he rejected his guess.

Regardless of the circumstances, the fact that his opponent could easily block his full-force attack meant that he couldn't underestimate their strength.

He had originally planned to have the hellhounds he summoned with his Noble Phantasm [Kings Order], which were said to be one of his trials, deal with the surrounding police, but he has now abandoned that plan.

"Stranger, who are you?"

Alcádez asked Hope a question, but Hope did not answer him; instead, he simply stood still and watched his every move.

You Du did not give any further instructions because he encountered an acquaintance on his side.

"Hahahaha—" The golden archer stood on the church bell tower and let out a loud laugh. His scarlet eyes glanced at Ayaka Sajou beside Yuuto before meeting his gaze and speaking.

"That's quite surprising. Is that thing your Master this time? Rider... no, I should call you Saber now, right?"

Chapter 297 An Invitation to a Duel

Is it someone Saber knows?

That must be a Servant, right?

Attracted by the laughter, Ayaka Sajou turned around curiously and looked up at the church bell tower.

Golden armor, golden earrings, golden hair, and golden ripples appearing around him as a golden wine jug and two golden wine cups fall out...

She never imagined that one day she would use the words "magnificent and resplendent" to describe someone...

While she was still confused, Ayaka Sajou heard Yuuto beside her say, "Oh, long time no see! Gilgamesh, I saw him yesterday!"

He pointed to Alcides in front of the hospital: "That guy down there shot you with an arrow from outside the city, right? How come he's still alive and kicking... You didn't fight him?"

"Hmph! Don't compare me to those bastards!" Gilgamesh snorted coldly upon hearing this, filled his golden goblet to the ground below, and threw it to Yudu.

The Crystal Hill Casino where he is currently staying is very close to the hospital, so when there was any commotion at the hospital, he quickly noticed it. He just didn't expect to run into You Du on his way there.

"I only let them go out of kindness because I saw they had been marked as prey by you, this troublesome guy, so that they could live a little longer before you came knocking on my door!"

Marked as prey?

Who?

him?

Yudou was somewhat puzzled, but on the surface, he calmly accepted the wine glass that the black magician had caught with magic and slowly handed to him.

Wow! This golden liquid looks pretty good!

Because Gilgamesh dealt with Gilgamesh too quickly when they were enemies in the Fifth World War, and the Seventh Singularity was that Gilgamesh gave them Uruk-brewed ale, this was the first time he had seen the divine wine that Gilgamesh had brought out during the Three Kings' Meeting in the Fourth World War.

After glancing at the liquid in his glass, Yuuto, under the watchful eyes of Ayaka Sajou and Gilgamesh, poured the entire cup of divine wine into his mouth.

Then, right in front of the two of them, he passed out drunk.

Ayaka Sajou & Gilgamesh: "...?"

One cup and you're out?

Is your alcohol tolerance really that low?!

Gilgamesh was somewhat taken aback. Although he didn't know why the memories of the singularity had been preserved, he remembered drinking bar wine while crossing Uruk.

When he drank that beer, You Du's face didn't turn red at all.

Why did they pour it out so readily when they switched to Divine Wine?

Compared to the relatively calm Gilgamesh, Ayaka Sajou appeared much more flustered.

When she saw Yutari collapse, she thought Gilgamesh had poisoned the wine, and she was terrified.

Fortunately, the black magician later used magic to remove Yuto's abnormal state, instantly sobering him up from his drunken state.

"Uh... this liquor is pretty strong..." Yu Du rubbed his forehead as he regained his senses.

taste?

Uh... it's hard to describe, but it really does taste pretty good.

Although he got drunk after just one drink, he probably woke up quickly, because he doesn't have a headache now.

Alcides below had already engaged in combat with the monster of twenty-eight people and was relentlessly advancing towards the hospital.

Seeing this, Yudu stopped talking to Gilgamesh and quickly sent Hope to stop him.

"Alright, now that even you, who always likes to show up last, have come, I don't think anyone else will be coming after you."

Picking up the wine glass that had fallen to the ground when he was drunk, and casually placing it on the wooden railing, the black magician appeared beside Yuuto. He looked up at Gilgamesh, who had returned to watching the show, and spoke, thinking of what Gilgamesh had just said about his prey.

　He announced, "I'm going down to 'hunt,' do you want to stay here?"

"Hmph, you actually dare to dream of placing me on the same level as those scoundrels? Saber, you bastard—"

Without listening any further, as Gilgamesh snorted, Yuuto had already roughly guessed what he was going to say next. He rolled his eyes and quickly flew down with Ayaka Sajou, aided by a flight magic spell.

Hurry up, hurry up, or Gilgamesh will start pontificating again...

……

On the road in front of the hospital, arrows deeply embedded in the asphalt are everywhere, along with spiderweb-like potholes of varying sizes centered around them.

The twenty-eight-man monster surrounded the area, which could easily be called a battlefield, and watched with suspicion as Alcides was repeatedly repelled by the suddenly appearing platinum-colored warrior, while the three-headed dog he rode had its head chopped off long ago.

"What's going on with this Servant who suddenly appeared?" Orlando frowned as he looked at the situation. Unable to sense the aura of other Servants like a Servant could, he also mistook Hope for a Servant.

Looking at Hope wielding dual swords, he figured the class of this later Servant should be Saber.

As for Saber... then his Master is that blonde girl who went missing in the previous opera house bombing?

However, it was already strange that their operation was suddenly intercepted by Alcides, and now Saber has jumped out to intercept Alcides as well?

Where did you all find out about their police operation?

Will another Servant he doesn't recognize appear next to stop the battle between the two Servants?

Orlando was very unhappy, while Fratt next to him was watching the situation on the field.

Although he had never met Hope, he could roughly guess that Hope's appearance was related to Youdu.

As he was thinking about Yudo, he saw Yudo himself appear in the arena where Alcides and Hope were fighting.

At the same time, Alcádez, as if catching a glimpse of a southerner with pigtails while taking a bath, immediately distanced himself from the other person.

“You…” Alcides looked Yuudou up and down, standing next to Hope, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, “Who are you?”

His entire body was sending him a series of danger warnings, constantly telling him to stay away from this strange man, further and further away!

However, his mind felt a sense of familiarity with Youdu, and driven by this familiarity, he couldn't help but frown and ask that question.

"do we know each other?"

"what?"

After placing Ayaka Sajou in a safe spot nearby, Yuwatari, who had come to intervene in the battle, gave Alcides a strange once-over.

A man with a thin body covered in scars, dark skin, a hood covering his face, cloth shoes, and only trousers and a belt on his lower body.

If you were to say that he knows people who fit these characteristics...

"Emmmm...you're Angolan Mainyu?"

"...Who is that?" Alcides suppressed the black mud within his body that had inexplicably reacted slightly to the name.

"It's alright, since we don't know each other, it's fine. Anyway..."

Yuuto shook his head, showing no intention of chatting with him any further. He unfolded his duel disk in front of the many police officers watching, and with a bright smile, extended an invitation to Alcides, who was staring intently at him.

"Want to play a tense and exciting game of Yu-Gi-Oh!?"
