Type-Moon, but the Servant is Tom

Chapter 157: Is Gudao Bald?!

Although the pressure was mounting on Gudao's shoulders, it wasn't about the difficulty of dealing with her hair color. That was an easy problem to solve; all she had to do was give up her hair.

Her hesitation stemmed from whether it was really necessary to expose the fact that she was now bald, all for the sake of escaping from Tom and Spike's pursuit?!

Yes, it was difficult to admit, but the current Gudao was, in fact, bald! Perhaps at first glance, her orange hair seemed quite elegant, as if she had used a popular brand of hair products. However, that orange hair was actually a wig she had obtained from Da Vinci.

To acquire this wig, she had sold several Servants because crafting a wig required Mana Prisms, and the only way to obtain them was by selling Servants.

Even now, she remembered those Servants who had 'volunteered' to sacrifice themselves three days ago, all in the hope of restoring her beautiful locks. Who were they again? Ah, it didn't matter!

What mattered was the fact that her hair was, indeed, a wig. Every time she encountered an event that required intense grinding, like this time, the dazzling Gill's event, she had to grind until she was nearly at death's door. And because of this high-intensity grinding, her hair fell out.

But it was no big deal, as her hair usually grew back within three days after the event's conclusion, once she recovered from the exhaustion. So, she didn't have to worry about being permanently bald.

Yet, being not sentimental about the wig, every time her hair grew back, she ruthlessly discarded the wig like it was trash. After all, the wig was only meant to hide her baldness during that period.

So, after each task that required her to grind endlessly, she needed a new batch of 'volunteer' Servants to contribute their lives in exchange for her new wig.

Though Gudao had already forgotten the names of those brave and righteous Servants, they would forever be engraved in her heart!

Alright, here comes the question. Did she really need to remove the wig on her head to escape from the clutches of Tom and Spike?

As Gudao recalled her two previous embarrassing instances of being sent flying and becoming a firework, and then imagined how she would look if she got sent flying for the third time, she shivered with fear.

Yes, it was necessary. It was very much necessary!

With firm determination, Gudao's eyes gradually became resolute, like someone who had made up their mind to save the world and was ready to face death.

Then, Gudao placed her hand on her head and tightly grasped her hair.

On the side, Cú Chulainn saw Gudako's action and widened his eyes, his pupils shrinking abruptly. "No way, you, you actually...?!" He had never imagined that Gudako could be so ruthless as to want to rip her own hair off! Undoubtedly, this was an absolutely brutal act, almost terrifying.

Even if he had harbored great bias against Gudako before, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of shouting, "What a fierce person!"

"Wait, senpai?!" Mashu, standing nearby, also noticed Gudako's action and looked at her in astonishment. Yes, even someone as close as Mashu had not been informed that Gudako was currently bald. So, she also believed that Gudako was attempting to scalp herself. She even started to imagine how Gudako would look with her scalp peeled off, and shivered involuntarily. If Geronimo were present, he might have cringed in sympathy.

While both sides were shocked by Gudako's "fierce spirit," Gudako remained unfazed and, with a resolute gaze, began to pull off the wig on her head. ...Don't get the wrong idea; it was simply because she had applied Da Vinci's special adhesive, making it a bit difficult to remove.

"Is it coming off?" Cú Chulainn kept his attention fixed on Gudako.

"Senpai, please stop!" Mashu, on the other hand, was entirely different and hurriedly tried to prevent Gudako. If Gudako merely got her scalp peeled, she might be beaten again by Schrödinger and sent flying like a firework, becoming the world's most dazzling guy. But if she really scalped herself, the scene would be too horrifying; it wasn't something suitable for a humorous story!

However, Mashu's attempt to stop her was of no use at all. Gudako... she pulled off her wig!

"Senpai, wh-... why?" As Gudako proceeded with the action, Mashu was about to shout in despair.

Suddenly, she felt something very bright flashing in her eyes, as if she had been sleeping in darkness, finally getting used to it, and then someone abruptly turned on the light, blinding her. The same happened to Tom and Spike.

"Yay... yay?" Cú Chulainn, about to celebrate, looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned. "Wow, bald!"

"Mind your own business!" Holding her wig and with a big bald head, she wanted to smash it in Cú Chulainn's direction.josei

But halfway through waving the wig in her hand, Gudako hesitated. Crafting a perfect wig required a combination of Phoenix Feathers, Octuplet Crystals, Heart of the Foreign God, Black Beast Grease, and, most importantly, the Primordial Lanugo, which consumed the most Mana Prisms. All of these materials were obtained and processed by the cunning merchant, Da Vinci.

The cheapest among them was the Mana Prism, but it was also the most crucial element. She had sacrificed seven Servants just to obtain enough Mana Prisms. However, in the current state of Chaldea, there weren't many Servants left to sacrifice due to the outbreak of the Great Servant Exodus event. Even a cook like Red Archer had to go to the battlefield, which was the best proof of the situation.

If she discarded the wig, she would have to show up with a bald head for many days in the future. Could she bear that?

After considering this, Gudako had no choice but to toss her wig to Mashu and ask her to temporarily take care of it.

However, Cú Chulainn's earlier "Yay" followed by "Wow, bald" successfully made Gudako choose to hold a grudge. This grudge would be repaid sooner or later!

"Huh?... Ah!" Watching the wig thrown by Gudako, Mashu was still immersed in extreme shock. So much so that the wig was almost about to hit the ground before Mashu finally reacted and quickly reached out to catch it!
