Ch 12

"If President Nanami's sincerity is as strong as you say, then let our two companies establish this cooperation."

"After I return, I will have my subordinates prepare a contract to send to President Nanami."

"However, regarding the final distribution of profits, I hope President Nanami can give us Fourmiya Group a bit more."

"After all, President Nanami intends to use Fourmiya Group as a shield. It's only fair to give us some benefits, right?"

Shinya Nanami, seeing that the matter was settled and the cooperation between the two parties went smoothly, readily agreed.

"That's fine. Our original purpose was to leverage Fourmiya Group's sales channels to promote our company's products."

"As for the profit sharing, our company initially set it at 70-30. Our company provides technology, funding, and products, while Fourmiya Group only needs to handle sales."

"Initially, the profit sharing was set at 70-30, but now I'm changing it to 60-40, giving Fourmiya Group an additional layer of profit. I believe you can imagine how lucrative this partnership will be."

"After all, our company's products will be sold worldwide. Even with a 40% profit share, it should be more than enough for Fourmiya Group."

"Now that everything is settled, I won't accompany President Nanami back."

"However, I still hope that in the future, President Nanami will come to the student council for student-related matters, not for matters in the outside world."

"After all, in school, I am still the vice president of the student council, Kaguya Shinomiya, and not the leader of Fourmiya Group."

"I hope President Nanami can understand this distinction. If you approach me as a student, I will gladly receive you."

"That's only natural, but due to the suddenness of this situation, I had to take this approach."

"Otherwise, who knows when I would have the chance to meet Miss Kaguya Shinomiya!"

"After all, with numerous important matters and a busy schedule, it's impossible to meet everyone who requests an appointment, right?"

After saying that, Shinya Nanami left the student council. After all, he had completed what he came to do today, and the remaining tasks only required time to verify.

Now, a brand new student life has arrived, and Shinya Nanami's focus is to enjoy it to the fullest.

"Although the author refers to the physical bodies through which each hero manifests in the world as 'Heroic Spirit Servants' and sets restrictions on their class, attributes, and inherent skills and Noble Phantasms, one thing is evident in the information revealed: all of it pertains to the strength of the Servants."

"However, the one attribute that remains unpredictable is Luck, even though luck can sometimes be considered part of one's strength."

"But why did the author choose to display Luck as a separate attribute?"

"So I speculate that Luck may determine the ultimate fate of each Servant."

"The higher the Luck stat, the better the outcome; the lower the Luck stat, the more tragic the fate."

"The analysis upstairs is quite unique, especially the Luck analysis method proposed."

"Doesn't that mean the one with high Luck has a greater chance of obtaining the Holy Grail?"

"We don't need to worry about who will ultimately obtain the Holy Grail. I'm more curious about the wager made by that theology expert earlier."

"Since everyone is so interested, I'll just announce the wager directly."

"What I'm betting on is that I believe Diarmuid Ua Duibhne will meet a tragic end, contradicting his own wish."

"If I lose this wager, I'll live stream myself eating a keyboard."

"The wager upstairs seems a bit tame. If you're really capable, then live stream yourself chopping a chicken."

"I didn't expect the person upstairs to be so ruthless, like a werewolf."

"Well, a strong player has their own strong methods. Will the theology expert accept this wager or not?"

"If someone wants to bet against me, of course, I'll accept. But if you want me to chop a chicken, you must offer an appropriate price."

"I hope that every netizen present can witness our wager. If either of us refuses to fulfill the bet, then those friends can go online and give them a beating."

Shinya Nanami didn't expect that a simple discussion of the plot would escalate to this point. However, he didn't intend to intervene or stop it. He believed that it was best to let things unfold naturally.

Let's not discuss Shinya Nanami's video voyeurism behavior at the moment. Let's shift our focus to another topic.

Currently, Rin Tohsaka, a high school student who is only in her teens, is located in a rented room. She followed Shinya Nanami's suggestion and moved to this hard-to-find place to watch Fatezoer.

Upon watching it, she was surprised. Previously, she had only had a rough understanding and hadn't paid much attention to it. But after actually watching it, she realized that Shinya Nanami was not an ordinary person.

The works he posted on the internet were actual real-life experiences. For example, the video segments about herself in the previous episodes were actually things she had personally experienced over a decade ago.

Even the conversations between her and her father were portrayed without any errors. It was all written exactly as it had happened.

This made Rin Tohsaka realize that this work was not ordinary. It was a true story, a story about the Fourth Holy Grail War that took place ten years ago.

For Rin, who was about to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, this was something that greatly intrigued her. After all, her own family had been shattered after the last Holy Grail War.

Her father had died inexplicably, her mother had become a vegetable, and she had to bear the responsibility of supporting the entire Tohsaka family at such a young age.

She had once felt it was unfair, especially since her younger sister had been sent to the Matou family and was treated as a princess, while Rin, although appearing as a young lady on the surface, lived a rather frugal life.

However, after watching Fatezoer, all of her thoughts and ideas shattered. Even her impressions and feelings towards her parents since childhood became uncertain.

Since childhood, she had felt that her parents loved her dearly, and her family was no different from a normal family. But when she watched this work from an outsider's perspective, she suddenly felt that her family was quite abnormal.

At that time, she was still naive and unable to recognize the situation. But compared to her younger sister, she considered herself lucky.

It was difficult to imagine the pain hidden behind her sister's smile at school. How deep was her suffering?

"Hmph," Saber appeared quite disapproving.

Rider also expressed dissatisfaction, saying, "Archer, your supreme wine is indeed only worthy of being poured into the Holy Grail Cup. However, the Holy Grail is not a wine cup. What grand wish are you pursuing with the Holy Grail? You need to clarify that first."

"Stop pointing fingers and making assumptions, you mongrel. First of all, the premise of 'competing' for the Holy Grail is already illogical. It is originally this King's possession. All the treasures in the world ultimately originate from my treasury," Rider responded discontentedly.

"Does that mean you once possessed the Holy Grail? Do you know what it really is?" Rider sneered.

"I don't know," Archer calmly denied Rider's inquiry.

"Don't measure me with a mongrel's standards. My wealth exceeds my own understanding. But if it is a treasure, then it is naturally my treasure. You dare to try and claim it for yourselves. Your audacity knows no bounds," Archer retorted.

Now it was Saber's turn to be speechless. "Your words are no different from Caster's madness. It seems there is more than one mentally unstable servant here."

"Oh dear, that's hard to say," Rider responded casually, as if echoing Saber's comment. Somehow, he had picked up a wine bottle and poured more into his cup without a care.

"I've become a little tired of this flashy gold true name. But Archer, you don't seem to value the Holy Grail much, do you?"

"Naturally. However, I must punish those thieves who covet my treasure. It's a matter of principle," Archer explained.

"What are you trying to say, Archer? What righteousness does your action hold? What logic?" Rider inquired.

"It's law," Archer immediately responded. "I, as a King, issue it. It is the law I established. You break the law, I enact punishment, with no room for negotiation."

"Well, in that case, we can only clash with swords from now on," Rider declared.

Saber silently listened to the conversation between the two. After a moment, she finally spoke to Rider.

"King of Conquerors, you have acknowledged that the rightful ownership of the Holy Grail lies in the hands of others. So why do you still seek to obtain it through force? By pursuing the Holy Grail at all costs, what exactly do you hope to achieve?"

Rider grinned, emptied his cup, and replied, "To obtain flesh."

This was a truly unexpected answer. Even Weber exclaimed, "Ah," and then shouted with an almost crazy tone.
