Chapter 84: Look Closely, This Is How You Use the Holy Grail
"I can't believe it actually worked?"
Doctor Romani was stunned as he watched the images gradually appear on the screen.
"But using the Holy Grail this way… If the Director finds out, we'll definitely get scolded, won't we?"
"Well, given our current situation, no matter how we use it, there's nothing to blame. Besides, this Holy Grail was retrieved by him anyway, so who cares?"
Da Vinci casually sat down in the chair next to Romani.
"But coming up with the idea to use the Holy Grail to copy the memories in his mind… Our Master sure has a unique imagination, he's got the makings of an artist."
She patted the seat beside her.
"But isn't the funniest part the fact that the Holy Grail actually granted his wish? If the people at the Clock Tower found out about this, they'd probably be so furious they'd immediately submit a request for Sealing Designation."
Doctor Romani rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"Oh, come on, Romani. If you keep stressing over work, you'll burn yourself out. How about relaxing a bit and enjoying the modern entertainment our Master has prepared?"
"…That's true…"
Romani exhaled a breath, then sat down, turning his eyes toward the screen in front of him.
The entire room fell silent as everyone focused on the images projected on the screen.
At this moment, Ethan updated the livestream title to:
"For the First Time in History – Heroic Spirits Livestream Watching the Holy Grail War"
Then, he fixed his gaze on the top right corner of the screen, where the number of viewers was displayed.
In just a few dozen minutes, the live viewership had skyrocketed to 60,000 people!!!
Seeing this, Ethan finally let out a sigh of relief.
If there weren't this many viewers, all the effort of using the Holy Grail for this would've been a waste.
He chose Fate/Apocrypha for the broadcast for a specific reason—simply because two Heroic Spirits present here were related to its story.
The livestream effect would definitely be explosive. As for legendary titles like Fate/Stay Night or Fate/Zero, he'd save those for when more Heroic Spirits were summoned.
Sure enough, netizens were always in pursuit of endless entertainment. The chat was livelier than ever.
[Heroic Spirits reacting to the Holy Grail War live? Omoishiroi.]
[F/A has Mo-chan, right? And she's basically the female lead? Also, Jeanne d'Arc Origin is in it?]
[According to the host, today's actors will watch as the main Heroic Spirits of their respective roles. I wonder how Mordred will react when she sees herself…]
[Red vs Black, fourteen Servants clashing, there's bound to be someone they know.]
[Doesn't matter, I just want to see Jeanne Alter scold Jeanne Origin.]

…
[Ting! Congratulations, Host! The livestream viewership has surpassed 60,000!]
[The points purchasing system has been unlocked.]
[By consuming 1,000,000 points, the summoning range can be expanded from "Heroic Spirits of Humanity" to "Divine Spirits."]
[Divine Spirits possess significantly stronger original Saint Graphs and can quickly become a key force.]
Divine Spirits?!
Ethan froze, his heart pounding in his chest.
In other words, if he unlocked this feature, he could summon Divine Spirits in the future?
That meant… the beautiful purple-haired girl—no, the ice cream goddess could be summoned?!
One million points was a lot, but as long as the livestream viewership kept growing, the dream of summoning gods was no longer out of reach.
Thinking about this, Ethan's mood instantly lifted.
The nightmare of failing gacha pulls in the past vanished like smoke.
…
On the screen, two Saber were engaged in an intense battle.
One bore the mark of a dragon.
The other wore a familiar full suit of armor.
"Mordred?!"
All eyes in the room immediately turned to Mordred.
At first, she had been enthusiastically watching, but when she saw herself appear on the screen, she was momentarily stunned.
"Could it be that some crazy magus summoned me in the past?"
"This is probably a Holy Grail War that took place somewhere, but for some reason, it was recorded."
Johanna spoke up to explain.
"Master used the power of the Holy Grail to recreate this battle. That seems to be the case."
Ethan nodded in agreement with Johanna.
As expected, she was a natural fit for an assistant instructor. Maybe in the future, he should have her handle coordination duties.
"In other words, Mordred-san participated in this Holy Grail War?!"
Mash looked at Mordred in astonishment.
"We Servants are not our true selves, but merely projections summoned from the Throne of Heroes. It's perfectly normal to have no memories of previous summons."
Martha didn't seem too concerned.
"What matters is that we simply follow the orders of our Master. If our Master understands us, then nothing could be better."
Right after that, the chat exploded once again.
[Look at that! Now THIS is professionalism!]
[Where can you find actors this dedicated nowadays? Perfect casting, great commitment, and deep understanding of the characters. Watching these girls perform is flawless!]
[Exactly! Outstanding acting, perfect costumes, well-researched storyline. It's as if… they really ARE the characters!]
[Wake up, dude. There's no such thing as summoning Heroic Spirits in real life! You've watched too much anime and played too many games!!!]
[SILENCE! Just keep watching! I want to see Jeanne Alter's reaction when Jeanne Origin appears!]
On the screen, both Saber activated their Noble Phantasms at the same time.
Red and blue magical energy clashed, creating a dazzling explosion.
"OHHH! THAT'S IT! USE MY NOBLE PHANTASM TO BEAT THAT BASTARD!!!"
Mordred was so excited that she jumped up, shouting at the screen.
As a result, in the very next second, the broadcast suddenly cut off.
"Hey! Keep playing it! Did I cut down that arrogant bastard in one strike or not?!"
Mordred, dissatisfied, lunged forward, almost throwing a fit at the screen. Luckily, Martha stopped her just in time.
"Mordred-san, please don't be so noisy while watching."
Martha struggled to pull Mordred back into her seat.
"Hmph, what a loudmouth. Seems like those Round Table Knights are nothing special after all. I can't understand these ridiculous pastimes of yours. Waste your time in this room all you want."
Jeanne Alter stood up, about to leave the room, but the moment she glanced at the screen, her expression immediately changed.
"THAT PEASANT GIRL! WHY SHE'S HERE TOO?!"
