The Oldest Yellow Flash

Drake puffed out her chest with pride. It was a wonderful feeling to hear tales of her circumnavigation of the world being sung.

Only—

"What are you looking at?!"

Drake suddenly felt four intense gazes fixed on her chest. Even for a tomboy like Drake, this invasive stare was startling. She couldn't help but cover her chest with her hand and glare at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

"The Holy Grail… so big! No, wait, so white… that's not it either! So close!"

In Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes, a ripple of spatial distortion appeared around Drake's chest, then vanished.

They were very familiar with this kind of ripple; it was caused by the Holy Grail's fluctuations.

"I didn't expect to find the Holy Grail so quickly! Master! Give the order! Even if she's a famous pirate, she's still a normal human! I can do this!"

Mash gripped her shield, staring at Drake, ready to act.

Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned. She felt something was off. Logically, the Holy Grail, capable of destroying a Singularity, should be in the hands of a powerful Servant. But this time…

"It seems we're being underestimated."

Though Drake didn't fully understand Mash's words, she grasped the meaning: Mash was looking down on her.

How could she tolerate such a thing? She was a great pirate who had even outwitted the Sea God! She feared nothing and no one! How could she be belittled by a young girl?!

"Lads! Let them know what we're capable of! Capture them alive! Charge!"

At Drake's command, a dozen or so pirates, yelling, charged at Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka with their cutlasses. Since their boss's order was to capture them alive, the pirates chose swords over guns.

"We're completely underestimated, aren't we?"

Mash crouched slightly. Drake felt they were being underestimated by Mash, and Mash felt she was being underestimated by Drake and her crew. Both sides were getting a bit heated, so!

"Take this!"

"Take this!"

Mash charged with her shield. Her well-proportioned body held terrifying power. With one step, she slammed directly into a pirate, sending him flying!

Other pirates surrounded them. Five of them rushed towards Fujimaru Ritsuka, who pointed her Dragon Tooth Dagger at the ground!

*Boom!*

A fireball hit the ground, blasting a large crater.

At the edge of the pit were several pirates whose faces had changed dramatically. They looked terrified, scrambling to their feet and turning to flee.

"A mage? In that case! Quick! You two, go get reinforcements! The rest of you! Don't aim for vitals, fire!"

Drake decided to use guns after all. There were still a dozen pirates around her. Hearing the order, they immediately raised their weapons, both long guns and pistols, and then—

*Bang bang bang bang bang!*

These pirates had been through many battles and had plenty of combat experience. While not all of them were crack shots, at this range, they could hit whatever they aimed at.

However, something that utterly astonished these pirates happened.

"Shield!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her left hand, the ring on her middle finger glowing. A red scale shield appeared, covering her entire body. Bullets striking the shield simply shattered.

Mash, on the other hand, completely ignored the bullets. They bounced off her arm, and where they made contact, faint white snowflakes appeared before quickly vanishing.

"Boss! These guys are just like that monster who wasn't afraid of cannons! What do we do?!"

The pirates realized immediately that they were no match for Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka. They had encountered such opponents before—one who had chased them for a long time with an axe, and even the ship's cannons had no effect on him; he was terrifying.

Drake gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with an unyielding spirit.

"Suppress them! It'll be quick, reinforcements are on their way!"

Saying this, Drake raised her pistol and fired at Mash. And this time—

*Bang!*

This was a bullet imbued with Mana, Drake unconsciously adding Mana to her attack.

Mash had just slammed an opponent with her shield. The next second, the bullet struck her at the waist!

*Thump!*

It was hard to imagine a single bullet having the power of a cannon! It blasted Mash flying!

"Mash!"

Seeing Mash blasted away, Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled. She tried to go see what was happening but was surrounded by other pirates! She was instantly caught in a tough fight.

Because she didn't want to kill anyone, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't use high-powered attacks and felt somewhat frustrated being surrounded.

Everyone at Chaldea was surprised to see this.

"Just now, that was! A Servant reaction! Did this Drake become a Servant?"

The Little Director asked with a frown.

"No, probably not! Most likely, it's because Drake is naturally strong in Mana, and with the Holy Grail on her, she became like this."

Romani said.

"At this rate, Mash and the others will be in danger! What are Mr. Mo and the others doing?"

Romani rushed to the control panel, switching the view, and saw Mo Shuying and Child Gil still watching the show. He shouted, a dark cloud hanging over his head.

"Mr. Mo! Please help!"

On the ship, Mo Shuying stuck a finger in his ear and wiggled it. He wasn't actually worried because Mash was fine. That shot earlier had just caught Mash off guard, stunning them for a moment, but they would recover quickly.

However, since Dr. Romani had asked so earnestly...

"Gil, go check if the ancient nukes have recovered."

A few days had passed; he wondered if they were ready.

Romani: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"

Everyone at Chaldea jumped. Romani quickly blurted out, "I didn't mean that!!"

At that moment, Child Gil's eyes flashed, and he said, "Not yet. It'll be about two more days."

"Oh."

Mo Shuying immediately seemed to lose interest, waving his hand dismissively. "Then just randomly lend a hand, but remember not to kill anyone."

"..."

Child Gil sighed. He hadn't expected to still be subjected to such arrangements in the end. Without delay, he turned and waved his hand!

*"Clang! Clang! Clang!"*

Golden chains suddenly appeared! They wove through shimmering circles, instantly forming a vast net, like a golden spiderweb.

Dozens of pirates, including Drake, became prey caught in the web, their bodies bound and hoisted into the air.

"What is this thing?!"

Drake received special treatment, being bound the most. Both her hands and feet were individually secured, leaving her stretched out like a large 'big' character in the air.

"Done~" Child Gil clapped his hands, smiling. Mo Shuying glanced at Drake, then at Child Gil, reaching out and giving him a hard smack.

"You're just a kid, but you've got so many tricks up your sleeve! Is this what Chains of Heaven is for?"

Child Gil's face twisted in fury. "This king is the King of Uruk! If you keep bullying this king like this, do you believe I won't teach you a lesson?!"

Mo Shuying watched Child Gil, who was raging like a small lion cub, clenching his fists until they made a crisp cracking sound.

"Come on, come on, teach me a lesson!"

Child Gil: "..."

Child Gil's expression froze for a moment, then he frowned. Looking at Mo Shuying like this, he really seemed intent on hitting him. He couldn't afford to be hit; it would be too humiliating. So!

"Look!" Child Gil pointed at the bound Drake. Mo Shuying looked over, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Look at what?"

Child Gil: "Yellow!"

Mo Shuying: "..."
