Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

"You're not even going to act anymore?"

Gudako didn't feel anything wrong with her body, but Jiang You was definitely not joking when he said it was blocked. With Chaldea's current combat power, it had no chance of winning against the Seventy-two Demon Pillars and Goetia. Jiang You's help was almost necessary.

"Okay, I'll join. Remember to keep your word."

"Wouldn't it be better if you agreed earlier?"

Jiang You smiled maliciously. Now among his acquaintances, only Morgan from the Fairy Kingdom was not invited.

"So Jiang You, what servants can you summon?"

Zabiko had been eavesdropping from the beginning, or rather, she had rushed over as soon as she heard the announcement. She was somewhat interested in all things related to magic.

"Let me think, there are quite a lot. If we put them in order, Hassan the Hundred Faces, Crazy Orchid, Medea, Hassan the Serene, Medusa, Hassan the Cursed Arm, White Spear Dai, Elle, Shuten, Ibaraki, and Medusa's two sisters, Fairy Knight Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan, Abigail, and Nero Dragon Girl Bubble count... Oh, by the way, although I have never actively looked for him, I can also summon Red A..."

Jiang You always felt like someone was missing, a very powerful servant.

"That's a lot, and it sounds like most of them are girls."

Zabizi looked at Jiang You with a scrutinizing look.

"Have you forgotten someone?"

Gudako thought about it and realized that she had indeed seen most of the servants, but Jiang You mentioned one less.

"Where's Miss Tiamat?"

"!!!"

Jiang You then remembered that when he went to play a high-level game with Paopao, he had asked his strongest fighter to act as a security guard. Paopao had used the concept of a door to send Tima away. After figuring out the situation, he had a very happy chat with Paopao. He also encountered some problems in real life, and ended up forgetting about the incident!

"Have you really forgotten her?"

Gudako looked at Jiang You's changing expression and didn't know what to say for a moment. An opponent as strong as Tima should have left a very deep impression on him.

"So, the question is, where was Tima sent to?"

Jiang You opened the summon list. He only needed to summon Tima to see the outcome. However, Jiang You was a little worried that he would be beaten severely, after all, he had forgotten about this matter for several days.

"I won't be beaten to death right away, right?"

"There's no need to worry about Miss Tiamat's strength."

Gudako had seen how terrifying Tiamat was as an opponent, and she couldn't think of anything else that could threaten Tiamat's existence.

"But that's no reason for you to completely ignore her, right? Show some manliness and apologize when you should. Delaying it will only make things worse!"

“That’s very well said!”

Jiang You never thought that one day he would be educated by an underage girl, who was even a game character.

"But have you forgotten that you are my miko now? Everything you think in your heart will be sent to me as a prayer. So you actually want to gloat over seeing me being scolded, right?"

"what?"

Gudako's expression changed slightly, "You didn't tell me this! Isn't my only responsibility to offer you purity?"

"Don't use words that are so easily misunderstood!"

Jiang You saw that Zabizi looked at him with even more contempt, and he didn't have any special hobbies, so he quickly explained.

"Do you think I want to listen to your nagging every day? Next time when you think about something, avoid my name. You can't know the name of a god, understand?"

Gudako pulled down her lower eyelid and made a face at Jiang You. Only at this moment did she look like an underage girl.

"I will take care of my mother's affairs myself, so you don't have to worry about it."

Jiang You was planning to pull Ti Ma back to apologize, but not in front of others.

"I'll take you there next. The tournament will last about a week, so you can have a good time exploring while you're not competing."

"I hope there won't be any accidents this time like last time."

Gudako actually wanted to have a good rest in the peaceful city, but accidents were commonplace for her.

"I don't think it will be the same as last time."

Now Bubble is working as an administrator in Jiang You’s own library. The biggest threat has become his companion, so there is no reason for him to cause any more trouble.

"Just enjoy your vacation this time."

"You mean the winner gets his wish granted?"

Zabizi grabbed Jiang You and said, "Any wish is fine?"

Looking at Zabiko, who had some nonsensical (not really) attributes, Jiang You couldn't tell what wish she wanted to make.

"Theoretically, it's within my capabilities. After all, I'm the de facto organizer of this thing. But don't worry about the wish being too narrow. I have a lot of helpers now, from all over the world, so most things aren't difficult for me."

Jiang You wasn't one to brag. Even if the other party wanted to be the king of the world, Jiang You could still try to help them win. There were even many ways to achieve this. For example, without bothering others, Jiang You could simply drag the leaders (?) (?) of various countries into a dark game, making them obey only the winner, and that was it. Simple and crude.

"But you can't locate my original matter, right?"

Zabizi wasn't very eager to go home, but she had to go back eventually, so it would be great if she could find a way in advance.

"Looks like I can't count on you, so add me in, too. I want to see what my deck looks like, too."

"no problem."

Adding the protagonist next door as a contestant is a good thing, and now Nero's card holders have increased. Gilgamesh and Red Ace should also be there, but I don't know which one will be summoned. Jiang You is looking forward to her facing off against Shirou Emiya, and then some behind-the-scenes operations will be carried out.

"Since that's the case, let's expand the tour group. Invite your friends and family, and bring Da Vinci and Dr. Roman with you... You Chaldea employees should come too. If you can't, we can take turns. It's not going to be fun to work all year round!"

"It's rare that you can do some human things."

Gudako agreed with everything, but they hadn't had much rest since the start of Renrisho.

"Let's just forget about this."

Roman's projection appeared in front of them. "It's true that I slack off from time to time, but when it comes to humanity's survival, overtime is necessary. Ritsuka, you're different. You've shouldered such a heavy burden before you even reached adulthood, so you really need a good rest. We'll just hold down this place."

"Do you look down on me too much?"

Jiang You said he didn't know what would happen in the second part, but that Goetia from the first part posed no threat to him. Goetia's combat power was indeed strong, but not to the point of completely crushing all Heroic Spirits. The only problem was his inherent ability, Counter Summon. For players like Chaldea and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who relied almost entirely on Servants (and couldn't handle the Shadow Servant from the first part), it was a natural counter. But for Jiang You, it was different. No matter how he judged it, it wasn't a summoned Servant. Now, even against Beasts, his deck wouldn't be a problem.

"but……"

Luo Man wanted to say something, but Jiang You interrupted him.

"Aren't you just worried about Chaldea's operational issues? I can handle that, too!"

Jiang You snapped his fingers, and suddenly more than a dozen Hassans wearing skull masks appeared in front of Jiang You.

"Master, please give your orders."

The Hundred Faces replied in unison.

"During this time, the normal operations of Chaldea will be left to you."

As mentioned before, the Hundred Faces are practically omnipotent, aside from combat. Jiang You understands that some of Chaldea's secrets won't be revealed. After all, the corresponding tasks certainly don't require all members.

"No problem?"

"Is it really okay for you to order Baimao around like this?"

Roman complained.

473

Chapter 473: It seems that Ti Ma was sent to FA.

"Sir, please be mindful of your words. It is a servant's duty to share the Master's worries."

Although Baimao is Jiang You's workhorse, doing almost all the odd jobs, she's actually quite happy. As a tool, being useful is the best compliment. Jiang You isn't short of combat power, and servants like her are the most useful. Just look at Shuten and Ibaraki; after being brought to the Fifth War, they barely appeared in scenes.

At that time, Ibaraki was furious for a long time because Jiang You restricted Shuten from attacking humans. Shuten, on the other hand, was more open-minded, as there was plenty of alcohol. Although alcohol is industrially produced in modern times, you can still buy good quality if you're willing to spend money. Modern society is much more colorful than the Neon Heian-kyō era, and hedonistic ghosts like Shuten and Ibaraki quickly adapted. Incidentally, Ibaraki's trouser pockets are now filled with candy (see swimsuit Ibaraki).

"Where did you find such a satisfactory subordinate?"

Roman looked at Baimao with a serious face and found that this Assassin actually supported Jiang You sincerely. It was hard to imagine that Jiang You, such an eccentric person, would have such a loyal servant.

"I suppose you have quite a few subordinates. Is there not one that satisfies your needs?"

Seeing Roman's expression as if he couldn't bear to recall the past, Jiang You thought that as a Magic King, this shouldn't be the case.

"You mean those seventy-two guys?"

Roman covered his head. The big halo was still floating in the sky. "Isn't it because of them that I'm so busy now? Seriously, they can't even let me have a peaceful life even after retirement."

"Seventy-two... could it be?"

Referring to the way Jiang You and Roman spoke, Bai Mao immediately found the corresponding legend, "This middle-aged office worker who looks like he works all year round is actually King Solomon?"

This time, Roman covered his face with both hands. After Jiang You exposed his cover, he had become somewhat self-deprecating in front of him. But now there were outsiders here, and he hadn't noticed and exposed his identity. His reputation had been ruined.

"You guessed it right. This middle-aged office worker who seems to work year-round is the legendary King Solomon. However, he has now discarded most of his rings, and now functions similarly to an ordinary person."

In fact, Roman looks quite young, but his temperament has become decadent like that of a middle-aged man.

"Thank you so much for emphasizing this again!"

Roman thanked him through gritted teeth.

"You're welcome."

"I never thought the famous Magic King would look like this."

At Jiang You's side, Baimao also began to understand the existence of "Grand Servant." After learning that the original Servant was the pinnacle of the Grand Servant (Assassin had few replacements, and Caster was nearly as good before Solomon stepped down), Baimao felt proud. He also inevitably began to compare himself to other Grand Servants. Seeing the state of Caster's Grand Servant, Baimao puffed out his chest.

"It seems like a lot of things have happened here. Don't worry, I will accomplish it better than them."

Baimao felt that Jiang You must have other purposes, and as a servant she must collect all the information here.

"I feel a little embarrassed that you are so motivated."

There are only two people who have a lot of things to do in Jiang Youbian, namely Baimao and Medea. Medea often complains and is not stingy when it comes to receiving rewards, while Baimao is completely hardworking and never complains.

"I'll give you a break after this. If you have anything you want to do, you can ask me for help. I don't know what you want now."

"I dare not ask for more from you. The trust you have given me is already the best reward."

Jiang You had helped her resolve the knot in her heart from the very beginning. Each of her selves could have a beautiful dream of independence, something she had never experienced in her life. Her wish was so simple. Now her only pursuit was to transform her title of "Hundred Faces" into a true "Thousand Faces." She was trying to separate herself into more individuals. Being able to experience a variety of different tasks around Jiang You would greatly help with this goal, so she really didn't have any demands on him. Jiang You's strange requests were nothing to her, because each of her individuals had different hobbies.

"If you think of anything, be sure to tell me."

Jiang You didn't force it. Bai Mao usually wouldn't leave his side anyway, so they could just talk about it when the time came.

"Now that everything has been decided, please inform the employees to prepare their luggage. I'll cover all the expenses, but you'll still have to prepare your own clothes and other things."

"Has this been decided for us? What about our employees' opinions?"

Roman really wanted to take a break, but he still had to struggle to maintain his dignity.

"They won't mind because I've already used your account to send them work emails."

Roman found that a bespectacled Hassan suddenly appeared beside him. It was obviously Baimao's clone. She didn't know when she released the clone and touched Roman's control room.

"Your Chaldea firewall is indeed ridiculously strong, even using magic as a cover. But once you physically break through to the interior, it's basically unobstructed. It's so simple that I even doubt your quality."

"If someone can physically break through, the firewall won't be of much use."

Roman complained. Chaldea's fall wasn't far off, so what was the point in protecting the accounts? The real secrets weren't stored in the data. "And aren't you an ancient Servant? How come you have all these hacking skills?"

"My Noble Phantasm ensures that my clones possess their own strengths. After adapting to modern life, isn't it normal to have modern clones?"

This is Baimao's confidence as a functional Servant.

"That's right."

Da Vinci agreed, saying she was now taking advantage of modern technology. Even a writer-type Servant, after experiencing the convenience of a tablet, would no longer choose to write stories with a pen. Of course, this didn't apply to some stubborn Servant. "Roman, you're not Solomon either. You're also using a computer for work."

"That's okay..."

Having come this far, Roman could even hear faint cheers from next door. Saving the world was very stressful for everyone, so it was time to relax.

"Well, let me kindly remind you, do you really want to cover all our expenses? It's not too late to regret it now."

Jiang You looked at his backpack. He had not spent all the money left by the oil king. Combined with the glittering treasures he had embezzled before, he was very rich.

"Are you planning to use my money to speculate in stocks? Just don't do anything like buying land. Just tell them it's up to them. No need to give me face."

Since Jiang You was so confident, Roman held back his next words. While Chaldea's employees may not have names, they all hailed from various mage families. Their money values ​​were far more outrageous than those of ordinary young ladies and gentlemen, and they could find quite outrageous ways to spend their money. I hoped Jiang You wouldn't regret it.

"Then you can take care of the arrangements here. I'll pick you up later."

After Gudako reminded Jiang You that one person was missing, Jiang You was anxious to find Tima to apologize. The longer this matter was delayed, the worse it would be.
