What a Coincidence / The Battle Begins ...

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, "Even though I've only been away from home for a day, I can't wait to go home. I bet Sister Ella feels the same way, longing to go back to her real home."

"..." Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's sincere expression, Mikaela rarely showed a smile. He rubbed the other's head and said with a smile, "Well, of course I want to go home and eat my mom's cooking, but that's for the future. Right now, I will try my best to help you and Chaldea resolve this Singularity."

"If anyone doesn't know what's good for them, then I won't let her off the hook either."

Mikaela squinted and looked towards the door of the infirmary.

At that moment, Olga Marie stood at the door, clearly having been eavesdropping outside. She unconsciously clenched her fists, said nothing, and walked towards the rooftop.

Chapter 283 What a coincidence!

"Hmph! Even without you, as long as Chaldea overcomes its current difficulties, I can summon many more Servant stronger than you." On the rooftop, Olga Marie was furious as she was making disposable Magecraft artifacts.

After hearing what Mikaela said, Olga Marie felt a little remorseful, but she would never admit that it was her fault.

Because if the other party hadn't been in seclusion, fusing their Spirit Origin, would she have done this?!

However, Olga Marie felt that it was a bit wrong to involve ordinary people in this kind of event, but at present all the Master were on the verge of death, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was brought in to fill in, became the only Master.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome!" Olga Marie scratched her head, at a loss for what to do. As the Lord of the Celestial Department and the director of Chaldea, she was like a helpless and furious little girl, only knowing how to vent her anger.

"Oh, what's wrong? What's the trouble? With 'Saber' around, your Chaldea operation should go very smoothly."

At this moment, Cú Chulainn deactivated his spirit form, leaned against the barbed wire fence, and looked at Olga Marie with a light laugh, holding his staff. "Don't you want things to go this smoothly?"

"Of course I wish things would be easier, but as the director of Chaldea, I have to consider the future." Olga Marie looked at the nonchalant Cú Chulainn and shouted somewhat angrily, "Servant like you certainly can't understand how I feel right now."

"I understand, I definitely understand. After all, I wish someone like 'Saber' could be by my side every day." Cú Chulainn walked to Olga Marie's side and casually picked up a stone she had placed on the ground. This little thing couldn't do much harm to Servant; at most, it would only have a 'frightening' effect.

After calming down, Cú Chulainn found that these guys from Chaldea were quite to his liking.

If it weren't for that guy Reif, he probably would completely trust the three of them by now.

"Hey!" Olga Marie was clearly annoyed when Cú Chulainn took away her disposable Magecraft prop, but she quickly seemed to realize something and looked at Cú Chulainn, asking, "What's going on between you and that Assassin? Did you know Saber in your past lives?"

From the moment they met, Olga Marie noticed that Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm were being a little too nice to Mikaela.

Hassan of the Arm, seemed to wish he could lower his head.

"Before I died? Not before I died." Cú Chulainn tossed the stone in his hand, casually put it away, and smiled at Olga Marie. "I participated in a Holy Grail War called Romania, and in that war, I teamed up with Saber."

"The Holy Grail War in Romania?"

Olga Marie frowned. She felt like she'd heard that phrase somewhere before, but then her eyes widened, and she pointed at Cú Chulainn in disbelief, saying, "You're the Caster who made the contract with Bazett!"

"Hmm." Cú Chulainn nodded slightly. He naturally remembered Bazett, after all, the strength Bazett displayed and his identity as a descendant of the Knights of the Red Branch had earned Cú Chulainn's great admiration on the Throne of Heroes.

"Could it be? That assassin?"

With that said, Olga Marie understood everything. It was highly likely that the assassin who was so respectful to Mikaela was Mikaela's Servant from the Holy Grail War in Romania.

"That's right, just as you thought." Cú Chulainn nodded slightly, and said with some emotion, "To be honest, I've participated in many Holy Grail War, but none of them felt as relaxed and carefree as when I participated with Saber. It was as if I was going on a picnic instead of fighting."

"So, I can naturally understand your feelings, but little girl..." Cú Chulainn looked at Olga Marie and said calmly, "Everyone has their own ambitions. I can understand your thoughts, but if you try to force Saber to stay, you might end up making enemies with her."

"After all, he has helped you a lot. If it weren't for him protecting the three of you, Assassin and I would probably have killed you as soon as we found out you were from Chaldea."

Although Cú Chulainn enjoyed joking, even making risqué jokes, his expression at this moment appeared unusually serious.

Olga Marie remained silent. She knew perfectly well that if it weren't for Mikaela, Cú Chulainn wouldn't have stood there talking to her; he would have attacked them directly with Rune Magecraft.

Furthermore, Mikaela assured that after this Singularity ended, Olga Marie's soul would not dissipate, but would instead be protected.

A Nameless Spirit Core in exchange for the life of the Celestial Department Lord, along with the victory of this operation, is a very worthwhile deal from any perspective.

However, Olga Marie is now greedy; she wants Mikaela to continue helping her.

So Cú Chulainn came out and warned Olga Marie not to have any greedy thoughts, or she would definitely suffer the consequences.

"Hmph." Olga Marie naturally understood Cú Chulainn's meaning. She snorted and picked up the stone from the ground, saying with great dissatisfaction, "I know, anyway, you Servant are all looking out for yourselves. We Chaldea are clearly acting to save humanity."

"Humanity does not need anyone to save it."

Cú Chulainn said slowly, "Moreover, you know better than any of us about that little girl's situation. She shouldn't have been born into this world, but because of your selfish desires, she was created. Although I don't know how much pain she has endured, if I saw someone like that in the real world, I'm afraid I would destroy the so-called Chaldea."

Here, Cú Chulainn is referring to Mash. He naturally realized that Mash was not a genuine Servant, but Sub-Servant fused with Servant.

As Sub-Servant, Cú Chulainn naturally understood what a Demi-Servant represented.

"..." Olga Marie remained silent. She left the rooftop without saying a word.

After all, she didn't know exactly what Mash went through during her birth; she only knew that Mash was already 'perfect' when she took over Chaldea.

As the director, she didn't spend a lot of energy investigating Mash's past. She just glanced at her records and learned that she was a 'personnel' in the Sub-Servant experiment. Then she focused all her energy on other things.

Watching Olga Marie's retreating figure, Cú Chulainn shook his head, but his gaze sharpened slightly as he looked at Hassan of the Arm, who emerged from the shadows beside him, and asked in confusion, "How come you're back so soon?"

"Medusa has separated from them and has just returned to her hunting grounds."

Hassan of the Arm, spoke in a very calm tone.

"Oh? What a coincidence." Cú Chulainn smiled slightly. Why did this tactic feel so familiar to him?

Chapter 284 The Battle Begins

The opportunity is great, or rather... a little too good.

Now, Mikaela and the others have gathered in an office, where Hassan of the Arm reveals his plan to return to the hunting grounds with Medusa.

"It was the same last time, and it's the same this time. Is that guy an idiot? Does he think I'll fall for it again?"

Cú Chulainn, holding his staff, sneered, "The last time we ambushed Saber, the intelligence also said that Berserker and Archer were dealing with Medusa. And what happened? We had barely reached the door when we were surrounded by the three of them before we even saw Saber. If it weren't for Rider covering our retreat, we probably would have suffered even greater losses."

"..." Hassan of the Arm remained silent, clearly having obtained the information from him last time as well.

However, last time, with Reif, the traitor, by their side, although the fault did not lie with him, it was indeed because he was not calm enough that he passed on incorrect information, leading to the death of one of his own Servant.

"I have to go."

However, Mikaela gave the order. He slowly raised his head and looked at Mash calmly, saying, "If Saber comes, then I'll trouble you to stop her."

"Etc!!!"

At this moment, Olga Marie spoke up, standing in front of Mash and looking directly at Mikaela, saying, "Are you kidding me?! Saber obtained the Holy Grail! Her Noble Phantasm can be used infinitely! It's the Excalibur!"

When the information was shared, Olga Marie already knew that Saber in this Holy Grail War was the legendary King Arthur.

"She has that shield." Mikaela looked at Mash and said in a very calm tone, "The card I gave Ritsuka can only block the attack of one Servant at most, but there were three Servant at the time. If they had attacked immediately, it would have been a problem whether they could have lasted even a minute, let alone half an hour. So why didn't they attack?"

Mash remained silent because even if Mikaela didn't say anything, she could sense that Tristan and Lancelot were holding back, and the only Servant giving their all was Medusa.

And another thing! The moment Mash saw Lancelot, she felt inexplicably irritated, but she quickly suppressed it.

It wasn't just that Mash had a very gentle personality, but that she also had some affection for the Berserker who couldn't bear to attack her.

As for her inner turmoil, Mash already had a pretty good idea of the answer: it was probably because the Heroic Spirit within her was familiar with someone.

"I think it can be done." Before Olga Marie could speak, Mash stepped forward and said very seriously, "Miss Ella, if Saber comes out, I will definitely stop her."

"Just call me Ella, don't call me Miss."

Mikaela was also helpless. She had finally managed to get Mash her way of addressing her as "Senior Ella," but now she was calling her "Miss" again.

"I'm sorry." Mash blushed. Although she felt she was ready, she was still a little nervous, so she couldn't help but say those words.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka silently held Mash's hand. She seemed to sense Mash's nervousness, even though there was nothing she could do.

But her parents had always said that everyone has their own value in this world. Fujimaru Ritsuka knew she was just an ordinary person with better luck, but she still wanted to make Mash feel at ease in her own way, at least that she was there for her.

Olga Marie sighed, rubbed her head, and looked at Mikaela, saying, "I'm going with Mash and Fujimaru."

Logically speaking, it would be safest for her to stay where she is, since there is a powerful Magic Barrier set up by Cú Chulainn, which would be impossible for even Servant to break through in a short time.

But now she wants to act with Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash. It's understandable that she wants to act with Fujimaru Ritsuka, since she is Mash's Master, but her position as Master is really not that great.

"What are you looking at?! Of course I'm with Mash and Fujimaru!" Olga Marie was annoyed by Cú Chulainn's surprised look and shouted, "When I'm with you Servant, I have to worry about my life!"

"Heh~"

Cú Chulainn laughed. He suddenly found this guy Olga Marie quite cute. If he was worried about the two of them, he should just say so. Why make up excuses?

"Then, let's begin." Mikaela also smiled, his body radiating golden light, his maid outfit disappearing in place of Valkyrie's Swan Robe.

"Mystic Eyes, Mystic Eyes."

Medusa stood atop a skyscraper, tossing her hair slightly. Countless iron chains surrounded her as she prepared for the upcoming battle. At the same time, the image of Mikaela remained in her mind.

"Who exactly is that guy?" Medusa thought, her heart filled with unease as she recalled Mikaela's eyes.

Those eyes belonged to her; Medusa was certain of it—those were definitely her Mystic Eyes.

There may be countless 'Mystic Eyes' in the world similar to Medusa's eyes, but Medusa is certain! Those are definitely her own eyes, there is absolutely no mistake about that.

"But what exactly is this feeling?"

Medusa covered her head, her eyes flashing with struggle, her heart filled with rage as Mikaela used her Mystic Eyes against her.

Now that her anger had subsided, she suddenly wanted to chat with the other party more. This strange feeling made her unable to resist swinging her scythe and killing several guys with seaweed-like haircuts.

Unlike Rider, Medusa, summoned by Lancer, was not calm. At this moment, she was like a mentally ill person on the verge of collapse, wishing she could kill everyone. Although she still retained a sliver of rationality, this rationality was only reserved for her two older sisters.

"Whoosh—!!!"

Just then, a golden spear hurtled towards Medusa.

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

The chains formed from Medusa's hair seemed to come alive, charging towards the incoming golden spear.

"Bump--!!"

The moment the chains collided with the golden spear, a violent explosion rang out.

Medusa looked at Mikaela, who was floating in the air, with a mixture of joy and ferocity on her face. She licked her lips and said urgently, "As expected, that guy was right. As long as I separate from them, you will definitely come!"

"..."

Mikaela looked at Medusa without any emotion, placed his hand over his eyes, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, but I will have to use your power against you."

"Buzz—!!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mikaela's eyes turned purple, and a massive amount of magic power was released from them, charging towards Medusa.

"I couldn't ask for more!" Medusa naturally retaliated with her Mystic Eyes.

P. S.: "Writer's block, really stuck =A="

Chapter 285 Unfortunately, the original body is no longer here.

At the moment Medusa and Mikaela were fighting, Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm found their own opponent.

"It's another time, Archer." Hassan of the Arm looked at Tristan with great apprehension. To be honest, he was no match for him, after all, the other was a famous Knights of the Round Table.

Besides this arm, he had nothing else of note.

"It's so sad. Why even try to resist?" Tristan sighed. He seemed unwilling to fight Hassan of the Arm, since his main targets were still Mikaela and Mash.

"Arrrrrr".

Lancelot, standing next to Tristan, charged out, clearly intending to kill Hassan of the Arm in one fell swoop.

But just as Lancelot made his move, several fireballs attacked him. Cú Chulainn, standing on a lamppost, looked down at the two of them and laughed, "Just as we thought, this is another trap."

"Boom--!!"

An explosion rang out. Lancelot looked somewhat disheveled, but in reality, he was unharmed. He raised his head, his scarlet eyes fixed on Cú Chulainn, and uttered a sound that was difficult to decipher.

"Don't be so angry~ After all, the night is still long~" Cú Chulainn seemed to sense Lancelot's anger. He shook his head gently and smiled, "Tonight we're just stopping you from going over there, not fighting to the death. Why don't we all sit down and chat amicably?"

Tristan placed his hand on the bow, like an ancient musician, and gently plucked the bowstring, sending dozens of arrows of air hurtling towards Cú Chulainn.

Cú Chulainn leaped off the lamppost, dodging Tristan's attack, but the lamppost beneath him wasn't so lucky, as it was torn into several pieces by Tristan.

"Don't get so angry. We're all Servant; fighting and killing each other is not good."

Although Cú Chulainn said that, his hands were quick to act, releasing various Rune Magecraft to attack Lancelot and Tristan.

"Let's finish this quickly." Tristan saw Hassan of the Arm disappear into the shadows once again and realized that Hassan didn't want to fight them head-on, but rather intended to stall their progress.
