That's why Olga Marie was so troubled and her personality became quite irritable. She had to deal with external affairs and argue with those old fogies in the Clock Tower.

She also has to manage Chaldea's affairs, strive to communicate with these 'employees', and achieve results that they all approve of.

Therefore, she will not give up on defeating Singularity F for now! After all, she holds an ace in her hand, an ace that ended two Holy Grail War.

"..." Looking at Olga Marie's resolute expression, Mikaela shook his head slightly. If he were Olga Marie, he would definitely make a strategic retreat at this moment and wait until everything was in order before officially advancing into this Singularity.

However, Mikaela did not try to persuade Olga Marie, not because he wanted to watch her die; on the contrary, he began to have doubts.

Originally, Singularity F wasn't particularly difficult because Cú Chulainn came to help at the beginning, taking down Medusa and Emiya Shirou. Later, due to Mash's unique nature, the corrupted Artoria held back all the way and was eventually defeated by Cú Chulainn.

It can be said that Singularity F is not difficult at all.

However, the situation has changed somewhat. Cú Chulainn has not come out to help Mash, and it seems that the Berserker Class Heracles has been replaced by Lancelot.

Emiya Shirou was also replaced by Tristan, Medusa even joined forces with the two of them to fight Mash.

If I hadn't arrived in time, even if Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash were unharmed, they would probably have been captured by them.

"How's the investigation going?" Mikaela asked Roman calmly. "There should be Servant around here. Although Mash's defeat of the skeleton soldier was a small commotion, any Servant pays attention to the Fuyuki City battlefield would definitely notice the 'anomaly' here."

Even though there were some deviations from the original work, Mikaela was still very clear that Fuyuki City had probably already been divided up by various Servant.

Foreign Servant like Mash and Mikaela are very easy targets.

"Um..." Roman seemed to be operating something on his end. He suddenly looked up and shouted, "A Servant is rapidly approaching you."

"Senior!"

Mash approached Fujimaru Ritsuka and Olga Marie, raising her shield; she had clearly sensed their presence as well.

"Sigh." Mikaela sighed, casually took out the pseudo- Divine Declaration, and looked at Roman with some helplessness, saying, "Forget it, relying on Chaldea as it is now is obviously not a good idea. It's not just one Servant, but two!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two familiar figures appeared opposite Mikaela; they were none other than Mikaela's old acquaintances.

Assassin – Hassan of the Arm.

Caster – Cú Chulainn.

"Is one of them an Assassin?" Roman was somewhat surprised, but when he saw Hassan of the Arm's attire, he could understand why the other party was able to evade Chaldea's observation.

"So, are you friend or foe?"

Although the two were old acquaintances, Mikaela did not put down his weapon. He said in a cold tone, "If they are enemies, then attack quickly."

"Saber, don't you recognize us?" However, to everyone's surprise, Cú Chulainn placed his staff on his shoulder and looked at Mikaela with interest, saying, "But, your current attire is actually Lancer, which is quite unexpected."

"???"

Cú Chulainn's naturally familiar words left everyone present bewildered. What was going on? Did they know each other?

"Lady Aila." Hassan of the Arm nodded slightly, showing respect to Mikaela.

"..." A hint of surprise flashed in Mikaela's eyes. He put away the pseudo- Divine Declaration in his hand and looked at Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm, saying, "You haven't lost your memories of the last Holy Grail War?"

"It's lost."

Looking at Mikaela, Cú Chulainn shrugged and said with a smile, "However, 'I' went through the memories from that time and I'm quite interested in you, after all, you took out 'that weapon'."

Here, Cú Chulainn refers to the time during the Holy Grail War in Romania when Mikaela gave him the Gae Dearg.

"I will never forget everything that Lady Ella did." Hassan of the Arm also said that he remembered Mikaela, after all, she was someone who had a close connection with the 'First Generation Master'.

If Hassan of the Hundred Faces were to appear in the world now, he would probably do the same as Hassan of the Arm and offer his loyalty to Mikaela.

"What... what's going on?" Olga Marie was a little dizzy, but she was also very happy, after all, these were two Servant!

However, while she was happy, she was also very puzzled as to why Servant would know Mikaela and even call her 'Saber'.

"Is that so?" Mikaela could more or less understand why Hassan of the Arm and Cú Chulainn remembered her. It seemed that the Holy Grail War had left a very deep impression on the 'original body' sitting on the Throne of Heroes.

However, the simultaneous appearance of Hassan of the Arm and Cú Chulainn suggests that the two have clearly formed an alliance.

Without their own support, the fact that the two of them formed an alliance "again" suggests that they had encountered a formidable opponent and were forced to form an alliance out of necessity.

Otherwise, even if they had memories of the last Holy Grail War, they would at most exchange a few words and then continue fighting.

Chapter 279 Give Me Some Face

Now that they know themselves, things will be easier.

Mikaela looked at Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm a puzzled expression and asked, "What's the situation here? Why are you two working together?"

"This isn't the place to talk. Come to my workshop." Cú Chulainn looked somewhat helpless. He glanced at Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Olga Marie, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

"..."

Mikaela naturally noticed Cú Chulainn's expression. He didn't ask any further questions, but instead asked with some surprise, "You actually created the Magic Workshop?"

"There's no other way, we have to do it." Cú Chulainn shrugged; he was a Caster who never liked working in the Magic Workshop.

He prefers a real fight to a so-called Magecraft contest.

During that incident in Romania, he only managed to set up Magic Barrier to protect everyone because of Bazett.

This time, however, he should not have Master and should be acting as a lone Servant.

"It seems the situation is worse than I thought." Mikaela's gaze narrowed slightly, considering the circumstances that allowed Cú Chulainn to cooperate with Hassan of the Arm and even set up the Magic Workshop.

The enemy they faced was extremely terrifying.

"Yes, Lady Ella." Hassan of the Arm nodded slightly, his tone solemn. "Strictly speaking, we are barely surviving. It would be too difficult for us to rebel against them."

"Too difficult?" Mikaela raised an eyebrow, looking at Hassan of the Arm, and said, "Then what about adding me and her?"

Mikaela pointed to herself and Mash, thinking that Singularity F shouldn't be too powerful.

Judging from the current situation, Lancelot Tristan is clearly on the side protecting the corrupted Artoria, while Lancer Medusa may be an ally or something similar.

Although the four Servant are very strong, that alone would not have made Hassan of the Arm say that he barely survived.

Mikaela was very clear about Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm's abilities; their survival skills were top-notch, and they were adept at guerrilla warfare.

But they said that they had merely survived.

"You'll have to ask the guy next to you." Cú Chulainn waved his staff slightly. They had arrived at a dilapidated school. He planted his staff in the ground and stared at Mash and Olga Marie with a somewhat unfriendly look. "Chaldea, right? Thanks for last time."

"..." Mikaela took two steps back without making a sound, protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka, and at the same time looked at Hassan of the Arm and asked, "What happened?"

"Lady Aila, we trust you, but we don't trust the people from 'Chaldea'." Hassan of the Arm lowered his head slightly, looking at Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others who had confused expressions, and said slowly, "Because we barely survived, because we lost Rider in the last battle."

"What does this have to do with us?" Olga Marie was also quite confused; this was their first mission.

"Do you know Reif?" Cú Chulainn asked, his tone very calm. "His full name is probably Reif Lenore."

When Cú Chulainn mentioned Reif's name, a knowing glint flashed in Mikaela's eyes, as if she understood something. Just as she was about to say something, Olga Marie beside her asked impatiently, "Reif?! Is he alive like me?"

Clearly, this was an admission that she knew Reif.

"Yes, that's right, of course I know him. He's the Chaldea envoy, isn't he?" Cú Chulainn's face rarely showed a sinister smile. As a Caster, he was known for his good temper.

But now he actually revealed a rather ferocious smile, which means... his anger level has reached its limit, and he is ready to start a fight.

"Then there's nothing more to say."

After receiving this answer, Hassan of the Arm seemed ready to take action.

"Senior!" Mash sensed the hostility of Hassan of the Arm and Cú Chulainn, and she rushed to the front to protect Fujimaru Ritsuka and the bewildered Olga Marie.

"Buzz—!!"

True Magic circles rose up all around, clearly indicating that Cú Chulainn had already turned this school into his Magic Workshop.

The True Magic circle emitted a blinding light, and magical energy gathered around it.

Lightning, flames, wind blades, trees, earth spikes—all sorts of rune attacks surrounded Mash and the others. Clearly, Cú Chulainn intended to wipe out the Chaldea group in one fell swoop.

"How could this be..."

Olga Marie's face turned pale; she had no idea what she had said wrong.

"Etc."

At this moment, Mikaela spoke up, looking at Cú Chulainn calmly and saying, "Give me some face."

"I would like to give you face, but Rider was killed by those guys while covering for the two of us. I must avenge that."

Cú Chulainn did not aim at Mikaela, because if he did, Hassan of the Arm would not let him off the hook either.

Similarly, due to his own memories, Cú Chulainn did not want to become enemies with Mikaela, since he would need her power to deal with those guys next.

"If you kill them now, that guy named Reif will probably laugh himself to death." Mikaela looked at Cú Chulainn and said slowly, "After all, by using the enemy's hands to eliminate the 'Chaldea survivors,' he will definitely come out and laugh at you the moment you die."

"Huh?" Cú Chulainn frowned. He didn't cancel the True Magic circle, but stared at Mikaela and said, "Saber, what do you mean by this?"

"What I mean is, he told you beforehand that he was from Chaldea because he thought that there might be 'escaped' people who would enter this Singularity in the future, and then he would use you to eliminate them."

Seeing Cú Chulainn's "go on" expression, Mikaela knew that to persuade him, she would have to provide more information that was more favorable to Chaldea.

At this moment, Cú Chulainn was clearly a bit out of his mind. A few days ago, because of the Chaldea 'people', their side lost Rider and was chased and beaten by Lancelot and others.

Now that they've finally encountered people who call themselves 'Chaldea,' if it weren't for Mikaela, the two of them would probably have already activated their Noble Phantasm and killed all three of them in one fell swoop.

"Besides, do you really think that the people of Chaldea have offended both of you to death, and even fought against Berserker, Archer, Lancer, and others, offending five Servant in one go? Are there really people in this world that stupid?"

Mikaela rolled her eyes, pointed at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two, and said somewhat speechlessly, "Do you think those three are idiots?"

"..." Cú Chulainn was silent. He seemed to realize something as well. He then put away his staff, canceled the Rune Magecraft around him, looked at Olga Marie and the others, and said coldly, "This time, with Saber vouching for you, I will let you go for now. If you have any thoughts of running away, then don't blame me."

Chapter 280 The Same as always!

At Mikaela's urging, Cú Chulainn temporarily spared the Chaldea group, though his eyes remained hostile.

Although Hassan of the Arm did not speak, it was clear from his disappearance into the shadows that he also did not have much affection for the Chaldea group.

Olga Marie was quite dejected at this moment. She was not a fool. As one of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower, she naturally analyzed some of the information based on the available intelligence.

Roman had previously reported that Reif's fate was unknown, as Reif was closest to Olga Marie in the Control Room.

At this moment, Olga Marie's body was blown to pieces by the bomb, so Reif should also be dead.

But now, Olga Marie has heard the name 'Reif' from the Servant in the Singularity, and putting aside all the unexpected factors, she connects it to the fact that Chaldea has been 'attacked'.

Olga Marie deduced a reality she was unwilling to accept.

Reif Lenore, the assistant he and his father had always trusted most, had betrayed Chaldea.

"Director."

Looking at Olga Marie's expression, Mash didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, she was also a little sad. After all, Professor Reif was the best person to her in Chaldea, apart from Roman.

Why would someone like that betray Chaldea? Mash couldn't understand it either.

Of the three, only Fujimaru Ritsuka said she didn't care, because she hadn't known Reif for long and didn't know what kind of person he was.

"You should go and rest for now," Mikaela said calmly to Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others. "This is a school, so there must be a medical room or something similar to rest. You must be very tired after going through so much. Go and rest for a while before you talk. Both of you need some time to calm down."

"And what about you?" Olga Marie asked. She knew perfectly well that Caster and Assassin were only refraining from attacking out of consideration for each other.

In a sense, Mikaela held their lives in her hands.

"I need to communicate with him." Mikaela looked at Cú Chulainn standing at the school gate and said to Olga Marie, "Don't worry, no matter what, I am now Ritsuka's Servant and I won't abandon you."

"Moreover, I've become quite interested in this situation."

After saying that, Mikaela walked towards Cú Chulainn. Olga Marie seemed to want to say something, but in the end she didn't say it and could only lead Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash into the school.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She should calm down now.

After Olga Marie and the others left, Mikaela walked up to Cú Chulainn and asked calmly, "How many enemies are there?"

Four.

After the Chaldea group left, Cú Chulainn looked at Mikaela with some helplessness and said, "This time the situation is different from last time. Even with you joining us, we are clearly at a disadvantage."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Mikaela expressed her confusion at Cú Chulainn's pessimism.

"Because of Saber."

Hassan of the Arm appeared beside Mikaela, his voice tinged with bitterness as he said, "That Saber obtained the Holy Grail. Her strength is beyond all our imagination. Even without the assistance of others, she could probably sweep away the entire Holy Grail War on her own."
