Chapter 86: Chapter 86
When I return to the dock, I blink a little when I see they are still fighting. However, instead of a fight between Berserker and Lancer against Saber and Rider, it was a fight between Rider and Saber against Berserker.
I can see their master is looking at me, but the servants are still fighting because Berserker cannot be reasoned with.
I smile at them and say.
"Don't mind me. As long as you guys do not attack me, I will not attack. I only want to watch the fight."
I can see Irisviel look at me hesitantly but nod her head a few seconds later. Oh, she is a brave one. Waver Velvet, on the other hand… He looks like he is about to fall down and go unconscious at any moment but still stands there, watching his servant fight.
I must say that without my new upgrade, I will never be able to see the way they fight. I can see them fight, and my [Martial Talent] is already feeding me their fighting style. Saber's fighting style is like an elegant swan dancing on the lake, while Rider's fighting is like lightning, fast and destructive.
This did not happen in the canon timeline. I guess I cannot expect anything else after killing Lancer in a fight. The Canon timeline already turned to dust and got shit on by me. Oh well.
*Boom*
I look at the battlefield and see Berserker get a serious blow from Saber. I can see the mad warrior about to attack once again but stops as if an unknown force is stopping him. Ah, it must be his master.
Oh well. The show is done, and now it is time to return home.
"Excuse me!"
I stop and turn around to see Irisviel walk toward me even when Saber shouts to stop and not get close.
"Yes? What is it?"
"Can I ask who you are? Also, can I ask why you are here?"
"Gerrald. You can call me Gerrald. As for the reason… I am invited into this world."
After saying that, I leave her while she looks at me in confusion. I walk toward the portal point and open up a portal to my pocket dimension. I step inside my pocket dimension and see my companion staying outside the house surrounding a campfire. I smile a little and say.
"I am back."
They stop what they are doing and walk toward me. However, they stop when they see blood on my clothes.
"Gerrald! What with the blood?! Are you hurt?!"
"Who is it?! Boss! Let's beat them up!"
"Lord master, should I scout ahead and see if the attacker is still nearby?"
I smile a little and say.
"Don't worry, guys. The attacker is dead, and my wound has healed."
Sialeeds frowns at my answer and says.
"Next time you are going outside, one of us will come with you."
I want to say that they are weaker than me now, other than Chiyome, but I decide not to say anything and only nod my head with a small smile. They are just worried about me, and I understand that.
"Sure. Anyway! Let's cook some food! I already bought the ramen!"

|3rd POV|
Kayneth looked at the piece of paper in front of him in shock. The reason? The news of Gerrald's origin and purpose finally arrives in all the magi in Fuyuki. The paper also says how this man shall be treated as royalty and shall not be provoked.
"This is a disaster."
Kayneth grits his teeth as he knows that he will not get anything staying in this damned city. His chance to get close to someone that even Gaia respects is no longer within his reach. He attacked Gerrald, and now he will take the consequences of his action.
He takes a deep breath, looks at his fiance, and says.
"Pack up. We will leave this city in an hour."
He lost the Grail War, and now he loses the chance of getting close to someone who will let him reach the Root.
Just like Kayneth, a young magus looks at the paper in panic.
"What should I do?! What if he hates me?! What if he attacks us?! He easily killed Lancer, and I did not want him to kill you and make us lose the Holy Grail War!"
This young man is Waver Velvet, a young magus who participates in the Holy Grail War. His servant, Rider, looks at his master and laughs.
"Bwahahaha! You did not need to worry, master! I know that man will not attack us."
"How can you know that?!"
"Remember what he said the second time he arrived at the dock?"
Waver thinks for a second before saying.
"As long as you guys do not attack me, I will not attack."
"That's right. We never show any aggression to him. That meant we did not need to worry about being attacked. Also, this will be a great opportunity for you!"
Waver releases a relieved sigh and looks at Rider curiously.
"What do you mean by great opportunity?"
"This will be your chance to rise in rank in the Clock Tower. As a king, I need to know when opportunities come, and I know that this is a great opportunity for you!"
Waver looks at Rider in surprise before smiling because Rider is correct.
While Waver is planning to impress Gerrald and gain his favor, a middle-aged man inside an abandoned house looks at the piece of paper in front of him with hope. This man is Kariya Matou, the master of Berserker.
"T-this is my chance. I-I only need to make this man kill that old bastard, and I can save Sakura."
The overseer of the Holy Grail informs ALL participants about the news of Gerrald. Even Kariya, who is not a magus, will receive the news.
From the paper in his hand, Kariya knows that if Gerrald kills Zouken, the Clock Tower will not raise any noises and will leave Sakura alone. He wants to kill that old bastard using Berserker, but he knows that his and Sakura's life will be hard or even impossible because Zouken is a high-ranking member of Clock Tower, and he knows that someone will come to find him and Sakura to kill the two of them.
The other problem is that he did not know if Berserker was able to kill that bastard. Zouken is too confident in his speech when he sees Berserker, and Kariya is afraid that if he fails to kill Zouken using Berserker, Sakura will be the one to face the consequences.
He shakes his head.
"I need him to attack Zouken. He did not attack unprovoked. I can use this."
It is a high-risk plan, but he can rescue Sakura even if he sacrifices himself in the process.
"I will save you, Sakura. Just wait a little longer."
