Chapter 173 - Chapter 173: More Powerful Than Star Platinum

*Bang!*

"Do you know what you are doing?"

'Of course I know.'

"It's just a broken hand."

'I don't want you taking such big risks to keep fighting.'

"Don't let a mere patient boss me around."

'I'm serious!'

Calling it a quarrel wouldn't be an exaggeration. Yet even facing Accelerator's tough attitude, Konno Yuuki, acting as the Master, showed no intention of backing down.

"Tch..."

That stubborn tenacity made Accelerator turn his head away in annoyance.

This girl, that guy... they were all like this.

Why worry about a villain like him?

His mood was terrible. With no intention of staying here, Accelerator went into Spirit Form and disappeared from the spot.

'...'

Sensing the other's departure, Yuuki was helpless.

If possible, she didn't want Accelerator to face so many things alone.

Paralyzed here, unable to move, the most she could do was use Accelerator's actions to sense a bit of the outside situation.

Her own magical energy wasn't outstanding; as a "Master," she was barely passable.

After all, Yuuki wasn't an esper or a Magus.

Because of her illness, she could only wait here in this war.

If not for Accelerator genuinely having great capability, any other Servant would probably have started getting a headache long ago.

'If only I could do something...'

Thinking this, she could only pray.

...

"Miyu, is this your Stand?"

"Yes..."

"Name?"

"Uh... Sakatsuki (Grail)..."

"Sakatsuki?"

Hearing that weak response, Akemi Homura focused her gaze on the floating cup.

Gold patterns spread across its outer shell, and paired with that holy radiance, it looked like a legendary "artifact."

"I can feel it's still in a very immature stage, like an infant."

"But even so, it should be able to be of use."

Not explaining the origin of the name in detail, Miyu changed the subject.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Miyu say this, Homura tentatively decided to believe it.

"It doesn't look like a combat-type Stand."

"Is it a long-range manipulation type?"

Descending to this world, both Masters and Servants would obtain information about the current world.

So Servants were very clear about the situation regarding "Stands."

"Mn... to be correct, it should be more like an equipment type."

Hearing this, looking up at the floating cup, it turned into a stream of golden light drifting in the air, like a river.

"Equipment type? Will it become a weapon or a tool?"

Hearing this, Homura felt slightly relieved. If it was a usable weapon type, it might be very useful.

"It might be different from what you imagine, but currently, there is only one usable 'weapon' within it."

Miyu's slightly nostalgic expression stunned Homura.

She could see the sadness and unwillingness hidden beneath those eyes.

"But, it's okay."

"With it, you can definitely win, Archer."

Shaking her head, Miyu recovered from her memories of the past and smiled with effort.

For the current Akemi Homura, this was probably the power she needed most.

The golden stream then rushed into Homura's body.

"This is...?!"

Instantly sensing the anomaly, Homura was astonished.

...

Clearly tracking along the initial bloodstains, they ultimately couldn't find Diavolo. Helplessly, they could only go elsewhere with Little Goku to find other Masters and Servants.

"So weird. Clearly I haven't eaten much since yesterday, so why isn't my stomach hungry?"

"Ahahaha! Maybe your body thinks it doesn't need to eat yet?"

But just passing a clear intersection, seeing pedestrians walking by with sandwiches in hand, Little Goku raised a question.

This scared Subaru into speaking up quickly to divert his attention.

Are you kidding me...

If Little Goku really got hungry, Natsuki Subaru would be done for.

Although "God" helped everyone convert their currency to adapt to this era, if he had to use it to pay for Goku's meals, he dared not imagine how high the cost would be.

This was a Saiyan!

A veritable big eater. How many dishes would he have to wash to pay back one meal?

Fortunately, he could fill him directly with his own magical energy, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to handle Little Goku's stomach.

...

"Mr. Jotaro, do you think we are dreaming today?"

"If possible, I'd prefer to think so."

On the roadside of the shopping district, sitting in the sports car, Kujo Jotaro and Kishibe Rohan's faces went dark directly.

"What's wrong? Master? Mr. Jotaro?"

"That seems to be a new Master and Servant, right?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Amber sat in the back, looking at the two in front with confusion. They were talking fine just now; why did the atmosphere suddenly change?

Turning her gaze from the window to the walking figures, Amber knew the tall and short Master-Servant duo drew their attention.

"Oi oi oi oi oi oi—"

Uncharacteristically uncalm, completely different from the usual Kishibe Rohan.

He pointed outside, making a sound like a broken record.

"This is foul play, right?!"

"Why can someone summon Son Goku!"

"To be honest, if not for the danger of my identity as a Master, even I would want to go take a photo."

"That's Son Goku!"

Speaking the reason that silenced both him and Jotaro, Kishibe Rohan's hand was trembling.

"Son Goku?"

Amber was stunned, not understanding their reasoning.

Could they be referring to the Monkey King from that country?

"This..."

But Jotaro then threw a manga at her, stunning Amber.

Comparing the manga cover with that child, Amber discovered the two looked exactly the same.

"Is it a manga character..."

"Eh? You can Summon via Ritual like this?"

"In that case, if we look up this character's settings and abilities, wouldn't he be easy to deal with?"

Reacting, Amber spoke up.

"If you target him, I advise you to give up."

Hearing Amber's words, Kishibe Rohan and Jotaro turned back to look at her.

"Even Mr. Jotaro thinks so?"

"Is that child very strong?"

Not understanding what kind of strength that "Son Goku" child had to make these two so "pessimistic."

"It's not a question of whether he's strong or not..."

Jotaro's sentence invited Kishibe Rohan to chime in.

"If it's Son Goku after the King Piccolo arc, we have to consider whether Morioh can survive intact to the end."

"It's hard to explain clearly in a short time. Don't look at his appearance and young age. Just know, the power contained in that small body..."

"Might be dozens of times more powerful than Mr. Jotaro's Star Platinum."
