Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

On the screen, a Servant, who seemed to appear as an Assassin, invaded the Tohsaka mansion, but before Assassin was able to do anything, he was killed by Archer, who stood at the top of the mansion, folding his arms and annihilated Assasion without mercy.

"You can't look at me. Worms can only look at the ground when they die, like the worms they are."

When those words fell, Assassin was rained down by numerous swords and died.

While Tamazuki watched this famous scene calmly, Scheherazade was scared silly and hugged him firmly.

She was going to die!

This was her thought when she thought that if she was asked to face an Archer. Then, timidly, she peeked at his expression, observing his expression before she sighed in relief.

His calmness eased her.

Nevertheless, she snuggled into him, pressing her plump breasts tightly, easily gaining his favorability.

It was unfortunate that Grail summoned her as she didn't have an interest in one, to begin with.

However, it was fortunate for her Master to be an almighty warrior.

Or a monster?

Nevertheless, whatever he was, she didn't care since he was the only one that could give her this sense of security.

However, it didn't mean that she was useless.

Instead, even if she was unable to help him in the battle, she could help him with the strategy and various other things so the victory would be in the hand of her Master.

"Master, it feels like I am familiar with Assassin. As for Archer, while I am not sure of his identity, I can tell that he is a king."

The war had already started, and it wouldn't be weird for them to start their battle right away, so before that, the best way, they needed to gather all the information they could.

If possible, she wanted to have access to Argos, so she could search all the locations of Masters and Servants before they met each other, knowing their identities, before taking them down swiftly, or... wait for them to fight each other before they came out at the end to claim the Grail.

Or... might they as well hide and not participate in the Grail at all?

"It's normal for you to be familiar with the Assassin. If I am not wrong, this Assassin should be Hassan-i Sabbah."

"Hassan-i Sabbah?"

Schehezade was surprised. "Is that the Old Man of the Mountain?"

If that was the case, why was he so weak?

For her, who was born in the Middle East, she was familiar with the name of the Old Man of the Mountain, and as she was from someone in a high position, she knew how powerful the Assassin was.

Yet... yet... he was so easily defeated?

Suddenly, she became suspicious.

"I think this is weird."

"I also think that the Assassin isn't dying yet. According to the legend, no one knows the real identity of the Hassan-i-Sabbah. It can be one person, or it can be a group of people, so if we follow this legend, this Assassin might be more than just a single Servant."

"Ma-Master... then, does it mean that there are several Assassins?"

"There is a high chance of that."

"...."

Scheherazade knew that she was going to die if she had to face Assassin.

Looking at his Servant, he sighed inwardly since she was too weak.

Her physical ability and skills aside, her mentality was the real problem.

Fortunately, he was strong.

"Then, who about the Archer?"

While she might ask this question on a whim, she had a feeling that Tamazuki might be able to tell the identity of this Servant.

"Don't be surprised."

"You know him, Master?" She blinked her eyes and looked at her Master curiously. Whenever she saw him, he had this mysterious feeling as if he knew everything. This feeling was amazing, and it reassured her as if his side was the safest place in the whole universe.

"Yes, he is the first King in the world—Gilgamesh."

"..." Scheherazade.

She was in a daze for a while before she lay weakly on his chest.

She was going to die.

Yes, without a doubt.

Similar to Hassan-i-Sabbah, she was extremely familiar with Gilgamesh since it was the famous king that appeared in Mesopotamian mythology.

Facing such an existence, Scheherazade almost passed out. She thought that she was really going to die.

"As I have said before, you won't fight. I will be the one who is fighting, okay?"

"Master..."

She hugged him and thought that she was going to give him everything.

"But... this one is strong. Can you defeat him?"

"Well, he is strong."

Tamazuki didn't deny Gilgamesh was strong, especially when he had the memory of his previous life. Moreover, it wouldn't be weird to call him a God as he had a divinity, and because of this, he was quite disadvantaged in facing Gilgamesh.

As the first king in the world, Gilgamesh owned all the treasures in this world.

Among the treasures Gilgamesh owned, there was one treasure that would give him trouble.

"However, it isn't like we will attack him immediately. We can also use the other Servants to fight against Gilgamesh."

"That's right." Scheherazade nodded. "I will do my best to help you, Master."

"Thanks." He smiled and kissed her forehead gently, causing her to close her eyes in enjoyment and peace. "However, even if I have to face Gilgamesh, I won't fear him."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Whether it was Gilgamesh or Hassan-i-Sabbah, they had already become his targets, and he was going to devour them sooner or later.

"But Master, those weapons that were used by Archer to take down Assassin, were they his Noble Phantasm?"

Noble Phantasms.

These are the weapons and/or abilities owned by Heroic Spirits. As humanity's illusions, they embody the ultimate Mysteries of a hero as symbols of their existence through historical facts and anecdotes.

These can be physical weaponry (e.g., swords, spears, bows) or support items (e.g., shields, rings, crowns). They can also be abstractions such as unique, often magical abilities (even close to or matching True Magic), unique (even conceptual) means of attack, curses, and changes to the very environment and its physical properties. When summoned as Servants in the Holy Grail War, they are the trump cards of the heroes that allow them to overcome others in battle.

"Well, I'm not sure, but if we make the worst assumption, then all of those weapons used by him to annihilate Assassin were Noble Phantasms. If we make even further assumptions, his Noble Phantasm might be a treasure trove. After all, as the first king in the world, it won't be weird if he owns all the treasure in the world, right?"

"Well...."

Scheherazade felt that she was so helpless.

"But I have to say Gilgamesh is too arrogant. Even if he is the first king, his territory is nothing but just a small village."

If they looked into history, even if Gilgamesh had the title of the first king, his territory was small. In modern times, his territory might not be able to be called a city, yet this Gilgamesh was so arrogant.

"Isn't it normal? During that time, it is an age of barbarism."

Scheherazade wasn't surprised by Gilgamesh's personality since everyone during that era was a barbarian and lacked a culture. Still, because of this, her fear of Gilgamesh was lowered since she knew that if it was a modern time, Gilgamesh would be nothing but a village chief.

"Well, that's true."

What did he expect from a primitive civilization?

Still, he suddenly thought about the reward that he gained from Fubuki in the world of One Punch Man.

'Should I use it on Gilgamesh?'
