Chapter 10: How Did the Dragon Face Lose?!
(TN: maybe some help idk what it mean )
Nightfall. For ordinary workers in Fuyuki, it symbolized liberation. But for the participants of the Holy Grail War, nightfall meant that the war had finally begun in earnest.
However, it was only the first day of the Holy Grail War, and even if there were any battles, they would surely be hastily resolved. No one would be foolish enough to reveal all their cards right from the start.
Regardless, Bai Song was prepared early on. After taking a short nap in the afternoon, he set off. While Bai Song could be considered a nocturnal creature with abundant energy at night, it was still good to get some rest. Plus, the main reason was to let Tom sleep a little longer.
Bai Song knew the consequences of Tom being tired. He would simply take a few steps and fall asleep immediately. It was a bit terrifying to think about, even if they encountered a Servant or a mage. It would be effortless for them to eliminate Bai Song. He had great confidence in his own combat abilities, but he knew very well that he couldn't defeat anyone in the entire Holy Grail War.
"It's so quiet, and there aren't many people on the streets." Walking along the riverbank of the Mion River, Bai Song couldn't spot a single living soul. There were some people walking by the river earlier, but as he continued towards the mouth of the river, the number of people decreased until there was no one left. It was for the best, as Tom could walk freely without Bai Song having to carry him around his neck all the time.
To be honest, it was fine at first, but as time went on, it became increasingly uncomfortable. Bai Song's neck was drenched in sweat.
As for why he was aimlessly wandering near the Mion River, it was because two famous battles from the original story took place there. The first was the duel between Saber and Lancer at the harbor near the mouth of the Mion River. The second was the confrontation with Caster in the middle of the Mion River.
As for this so-called "Fourth Holy Grail War" with who knows which participants, Bai Song was completely clueless. He could only rely on luck by coming here.
In the original story, this was the time when he attracted Servants to engage in battles with him, but at the moment, nothing seemed to be happening. At least Tom hadn't sensed anything yet.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

Suddenly, a crackling sound of electricity cut through the sky.
"What's that commotion?!" Startled by the sound, Bai Song quickly looked around, but he didn't see anything.
It was only when Tom pointed towards the sky that Bai Song noticed a faint streak of lightning tearing across the firmament. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to notice. It was undoubtedly a Servant, and it was highly likely to be Iskandar.
If that's the case, it would be great. It would mean that even though the timeline is messed up, perhaps some of the characters can still match up. This way, I can regain that advantage of understanding the characters.
Seeing the situation, Bai Song immediately wanted to go over and take a look. Unfortunately, the thing was flying too fast, and he couldn't reach the scene in time on his two legs. "Tom, let's go, let's go and see!"
With that said, Bai Song picked up Tom and tucked him under his arm, running towards the direction of the lightning streak.
However, before Bai Song could run more than a few dozen meters, Tom, who had been carried in a slightly uncomfortable position, suddenly broke free and leaped onto the ground. Then, with much greater speed than Bai Song, Tom lifted him up and dashed towards the direction where the lightning had disappeared.
"???" Bai Song ran for a while and suddenly realized that he was being carried by Tom instead. He looked down, utterly bewildered.
A few minutes earlier, in the backyard of a residential house in the Fuyuki residential area:
Inside the house, Waver was observing the images sent back by his familiar that he had released. Suddenly, he heard the sound of thunder coming from the backyard. Looking through the window, he realized that Alexander had slipped out at some point and even summoned his warhorse!
Waver quickly opened the window and called out to Alexander in a low voice, "Wait, Rider, where are you going?!"
"Hmm? Of course, I'm going to battle!" Alexander, who had just summoned his warhorse, Bucephalus, in the backyard, was about to mount and replied to Waver's question.
"Nonsense! I know you're going out, but why did you run out like this?! And you're making such a grand entrance!"
"Isn't this the Holy Grail War? I'm going to participate in the battle, of course!" Alexander tilted his head, as if wondering why Waver would ask such a question. Then, with a swift movement, he mounted the horse.
"I am destined to become a great hero like Achilles. How could I not fight during the war?"
Seeing Alexander about to ride off, Waver became extremely anxious. "Huh? I can't understand what you're thinking. The Holy Grail War is not some gladiatorial contest. Stop right there and don't run!"
He had initially thought that in the Holy Grail War, there would only be seven Servants in total, but he had managed to command two Servants himself: Rider and Caster. This advantage was truly extraordinary, and he couldn't help but feel invincible. How could he lose with Rider mounting Bucephalus?
He had planned to prove himself in front of his colleagues and teachers at the Clock Tower once he obtained the Holy Grail. However, this advantage was now jeopardized by one of his own Servants going rogue, something Waver couldn't accept.
Zhuge Liang, who was standing nearby, approached Waver from behind and patted his shoulder. "What's the matter? Aren't you going?"
Upon hearing, Waver who considering using Command Spells, was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood the situation. "Huh? Why should I go... No, I should say, why is he going?!"
"What? Are you going too?" Zhuge Liang feigned surprise for a moment, then turned to Alexander outside the window and said, "Rider, Waver says he wants to join you in the expedition!"
Using his innate skill "Military Tactics A+", Zhuge Liang had already predicted that Waver would be completely safe on this outing. His A+ level skill allowed him to predict unexpected events with absolute certainty. To counter this skill, one would need an equally high level of luck.
Besides, Zhuge Liang felt a stomachache every time he saw Waver's current idiotic expression, so it would be a good opportunity to throw him into the mix and let him toughen up a bit. After all, nothing serious would happen.
Before Waver could react to what was happening, Zhuge Liang grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him out the window towards Alexander.
"What are you doi... Aaaaahhhhh!!!"
"Huh?! Really? Master, I never expected you to be a warrior too. Excellent! You truly deserve to be my master!" Alexander casually caught Waver as he was thrown down and placed him behind him.
Without waiting for Waver to refuse, Alexander pulled the reins and soared into the sky.
"What the hell is going on?!!!"
