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

【5、4、3、2、1……】

【Transmission begins.】

The last words flashed through Yudou's eyes, as if a black box had suddenly opened its bottom. Yudou watched as the darkness disappeared from his sight from bottom to top, replaced by a clear blue sky.

However, unlike the ordinary blue sky, there was a circular band hanging in the sky.

"Okay, it seems to be a singularity, but why am I falling from the sky again?!"

With practiced ease, he stretched out his limbs in mid-air to slow his descent, and Yudu couldn't help but shout in disbelief.

Unfortunately, no one nearby could hear his complaints, and even when he spoke, the wind rushed in, causing all of Yudu's words to turn into a bunch of incomprehensible characters.

Now that he's been teleported here, where did his D-Wheel go?

Just as he was thinking about his D-wheel, whose appearance he didn't even know yet, Yudu felt his right hand grasp a long, thin object.

The feel and temperature seem to be...

iron?

The moment he realized he had grabbed something, Yuto turned his head to look to his right and sure enough, he saw a familiar red D-wheel falling through the air with him. His right hand was gripping the metal shell covering the left handlebar.

Isn't that Fudo Yusei's D-Wheel?

Despite the complaints, Yuto couldn't hide his excitement when he actually saw the real D-wheel in person, and even managed to flip himself up and ride on it while still in mid-air.

In an instant, as Yudo sat on the D-Wheel, gripped the handlebars with both hands, and the Duel Disk on his left arm fit perfectly into the corresponding position, he also felt a sense of solid ground.

So that's how it is. Is this what they mean by being able to travel in all sorts of places, even creating roads out of thin air where there are none?

Youdu lowered his gaze slightly, looking at the paths of light that appeared instantly beneath the wheels of the D-Wheel and vanished just as the wheels left, gaining a deeper understanding of the effects of his skill.

Since it was his first time driving a D-wheel, and he might be using it to play cards later, Yu Du took advantage of the opportunity while he was in the air and didn't have to worry about overturning or crashing to familiarize himself with the D-wheel.

In fact, Yuto, who possesses EX-level riding skills, was already able to control the vehicle freely when he first got on it, but he still raced around in the air for a while before finally landing on the ground.

It's very simple. Just lower the front of the car, and the road will keep extending until it reaches the ground, at which point the road will stop appearing.

After stopping the car, You Du looked at the new outfit he was wearing, the same one that Crab Bro had worn.

Well, that's pretty much the norm... But if he chooses a Cyberse deck later, will he wear a bodysuit? Or will he wear his school uniform like the one worn by the guy who plays the protagonist?

Hmm... that's a problem...

But it seems the person who summoned him didn't appear this time...

Could he, like Siegfried and the others, be a 'wild' heroic spirit summoned by the Counter Force?

Youdu turned his head and looked around at the desolate land.

Forgive his poor eyesight, but without the relevant knowledge, he really had a hard time determining where he was.

Since he hadn't seen anyone nearby while speeding in the sky, Yudu simply put on his helmet, randomly picked a direction, and started speeding again.

Anyway, as long as I keep running like this, I'll eventually encounter someone.

Right?

Chapter 58 Absolute War Beast Front

"Sigh, I don't have enough magic power..."

Youdu parked the D-wheel by the river, sighed, and took a bite of an apple he had just picked from a nearby tree.

"Click——"

"Hmm, it's quite sweet, but where exactly is this place?"

He sighed at the sweetness of the apple he had randomly chosen, then looked around at the surrounding grassland and plains with a sense of helplessness.

More than half a day has passed since he came into this world. He rode his D-wheel for half a day and didn't encounter a single person on the road.

Although he didn't ride too fast because he was worried about accidentally passing by other people, he had still covered quite a distance in half a day with the speed of the D-wheel, but he hadn't seen a single living person.

Was it because the land was too vast and he accidentally went in the wrong direction, or was he just unlucky and happened to miss the route of others?

That shouldn't be the case. His luck stat on his panel is EX level. How could it be so bad?

Chewing on an apple and feeling the sweet juice bursting in his mouth, You Du's slightly weary soul felt somewhat healed.

Indeed, people really need to eat some delicious food...

However, even so, he stopped to pick and eat apples not because he was hungry, but because he wanted to replenish his magic power by consuming food.

After all, in this world, he doesn't have a Master like Rin Tohsaka from the Fifth Shinobi World War who works tirelessly to replenish his mana at any time, so he has to find ways to recover the mana he consumes on his own.

He never expected that simply placing a few trap cards out of habit on his journey would consume most of his magic power.

"Tsk... I really need to find a Master as soon as possible. I wonder if Fujimaru Ritsuka in this world is Gudako or Gudako's husband..."

Once he finds Fujimaru Ritsuka and signs a contract with her, and with the power supply from the entire Chaldea, he won't have to worry too much about mana consumption, just like during the Fifth Shinobi World War.

"Alright, it's time to keep going. Let's see if we can run into anyone along this river..."

After eating several apples and replenishing his magic power, Yudo rode back onto the D-Wheel, preparing to search for traces of other humans along this newly discovered water source.

However, he stopped when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

Hey! You human over there!

That voice... is it Rin Tohsaka?

Such a thought flashed through Yuuto's mind, and then he realized something was wrong. This was a singularity in FGO, so how could Rin Tohsaka possibly be here?

So, is it just that the voices are the same?

Speaking of beings in the Singularity whose voice is the same as Rin Tohsaka's...

Yuwa turned around in response to the sound and saw a woman who looked exactly like Rin Tohsaka, except that her clothes were unusually revealing, floating in the sky with a huge bow beside her.

It really is Ishtar...

Upon recognizing the newcomer, You Du's expression immediately became somewhat complicated.

What should I say...

Logically speaking, as the goddess of beauty, Ishtar, even in her current state as a pseudo-Servant possessing a human, should still possess a charm that transcends the human realm.

But perhaps because Yuu Wataru knew Rin Tohsaka, he didn't feel anything different looking at her face now.

It is indeed beautiful, but it doesn't possess that extraordinary beauty that transcends the human realm...

On the contrary, I couldn't help but laugh because I thought of the other person's Aqua-like appearance in the original drama.

However, now that Yudo has encountered Ishtar, he knows which singularity he is in.

The Seventh Singularity—

Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia!

"can I help you?"

Looking at Ishtar who fell from the sky in front of him, Yuwatari, whose goodwill towards her increased because of her face which was exactly the same as Rin Tohsaka's, asked a question.

Ishtar didn't really know why she called out to Yuwatari. Although he was indeed quite pleasing to the eye, she couldn't have seen him while flying in the sky.

She began to deduce what she was thinking at the time.

Hmm... maybe it was this mode of transportation, similar to Ma Anna's, that attracted her?

Based on this reasonable deduction, Ishtar quickly accepted the reason.

But since I've already called out to him, I might as well ask this strangely pleasing-looking human if he has any news about the Bull of Heaven...

"Hey, human, have you seen anything important fall down around here?"

With a casual flick of her black hair that fell to her chest, Ishtar landed in front of Yudo, crossed her arms, and asked him a question.

The important thing... ah, you mean the Bull of Heaven, right?

How did you manage to lose something so big without even noticing...?

With a bellyful of complaints, You Du recalled the journey he had taken and realized that he had not seen anything like it along the way. He then pointed in the direction he had come from and shook his head in reply.

"No, I didn't see anything particularly 'important' fall down on my way here."

"Is that so? I understand..."

Since Ishtar herself didn't have much hope, she didn't care after receiving a negative answer from Yudo, and simply nodded casually to indicate that she understood.

Seeing that she was about to leave as soon as she boarded Maana, Yudo, who was about to ask her which way to Uruk, immediately called out to her.

"Wait a minute, Ishtar! Do you know which way to go to Uruk?"

"Huh? I mean, aren't you being a little too disrespectful to this goddess?"

Ishtar, who had just stepped onto Maana, heard Yudo call her name directly and immediately floated in front of him, emphasizing with great dissatisfaction.

"Make sure you put the words 'Goddess' on me properly! You rude human! It's only because you're reasonably good-looking that anyone else would be in the wrath of the goddess!"

"Yes, yes, I understand. Now, could you point me to where Uruk is, Myshtar?"

Amid Ishtar's threats, Yuuto responded perfunctorily, much like a player who, upon discovering they've skipped a scene in a game, is forced to keep choosing the first option in dialogues.

Ishtar, oblivious to his perfunctory attitude, nodded in satisfaction after Yudo obediently changed his form of address and pointed him in the direction of Uruk.

Seeing Yuwatari ride off quickly in the direction she pointed, Ishtar was about to continue searching for the Bull of Heaven in other places when she suddenly remembered something.

"Ah, speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten to ask that human about that vehicle..."

Hmm... never mind, it's not important anyway...

Ishtar immediately put the matter out of her mind and continued searching for the Bull of Heaven in one direction.

Chapter 59 You Qiling's father Wu Si 6 Ba Qi Qi Du: That's right, I am Merlin!

As it turns out, Youdu was quite lucky.

The direction Ishtar pointed out to him was not too far off from the direction he was traveling.

After walking for some time in the direction Ishtar pointed out, he successfully reached a cedar forest at sunset.

There he encountered Jingu, who was using Enkidu's body, and two girls, one orange and one purple, who were following behind him.

Hmm? So it's Gudako?

And judging from this... has he not met Merlin yet?

Great, then his scenes are mine!

Yuuto's gaze lingered for a moment on the segmented crop top worn by Fujimaru Ritsuka, then he raised his hand to greet them, despite Kingo's wary look.

"Hello everyone, sorry to have startled you. Are you also heading to Uruk?"

"Yes, that's right. May I ask what's the matter?"

Seeing that Yuto seemed to be in a friendly mood, Fujimaru Ritsuka peeked out from behind Kingo and looked at Yuto, who was smiling and looking at her with a strange gaze. She looked at his clothes with some curiosity.

If she could read minds, she would know that You Du was looking at a power bank with those eyes.

Yuwatari, who had put away his D-Wheel before entering the cedar forest, slightly lowered his gaze and nodded in response to her question.

"Of course, if it's possible, could you please take me with you?"

He turned around in place, meeting Jin Gu's wary and impatient gaze.

"As you can see, I accidentally got lost in this cedar forest. Oh dear, I thought I would have to spend the night in this forest, but I never expected to meet you all here. It's so great!"

"Is that so? That's really unfortunate!"

Faced with the nonsense that Yutari had made up after temporarily taking Merlin's script, Fujimaru Ritsuka easily believed what he said and invited him.

“It just so happens that Enkidu said there’s a ship docked at the pier over there bound for Uruk. If you don’t mind, would you like to come with us?”

"Huh? The dock? But I just came from that side and didn't see any ships there."

Yu Du feigned a stunned and confused expression, at which point he drew upon all his experience in lying and acting since childhood, as if he were truly an ordinary citizen who had accidentally gotten lost.

"And Enkidu...didn't he die before King Gilgamesh went to find the herb of immortality?"

Ding--

"Huh? What does this mean—"

The crisp sound was drowned out by Fujimaru Ritsuka's questioning voice, but it did not escape Yuuto's ears. He recognized it as the sound of Merlin striking the ground with his staff.

Okay, it seems that the nightmare is indeed watching nearby, and the illusion should have been activated by now.
