Chapter 190 Revelation (First Update)
"We're back."
Cú Chulainn said happily as he walked in carrying a large pile of vegetables, pork, beef, mutton, fish, fruit, and other ingredients.
"Oh? You're back? Let me see." Red A walked over at this moment. He glanced at the ingredients Cú Chulainn had bought and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "Not bad, you've bought some pretty good stuff."
"Hmph, of course, Archer, it's up to you now." Cú Chulainn grinned, he was really looking forward to Red A's cooking skills!
"By the way, Saber, what's going on here...?"
After taking the ingredients from Cú Chulainn, Red A noticed that Kiyohime was clinging to Mikaela, which puzzled him. What was going on? Kiyohime seemed like a completely different person after just one trip.
Asagami Fujino to the side, also seemed at a loss for what to do. She just stood there blankly behind Mikaela, watching her Servant hug the person she cared about most.
"I'll cook." Mikaela pulled her hand out of Kiyohime's bosom and casually tossed the carrots she had bought outside.
"Hmm, not bad, tastes good~" Red Hare immediately canceled its spirit form, bit into the carrot, and said as it ate, "Thank you, Saber."
"You're welcome, thank you for watching the door." Mikaela picked up some ingredients and looked at Jeanne d'Arc sitting on the sofa with a puzzled expression, "Are you still doing your homework?"
"Ah?!"
Jeanne d'Arc nearly jumped up when asked that question. She looked at Mikaela and smiled awkwardly, "Yeah, yeah, you have to do your homework no matter what."
"Oh~" Mikaela seemed to understand something, and he smiled gently, "What do you like to eat?"
"Um... anything is fine... I can eat anything." 'Jeanne d'Arc's' had returned to normal by now, and she said with a smile, "But for now, let me help Laeticia with her homework first."
"Hmm~ Helping yourself is quite something." Mikaela ruthlessly exposed the fact that ' Jeanne d'Arc's descent was actually Laeticia at this moment.
After all, how could that village girl possibly do her homework?! This girl who relies on her 'master' to fight battles is less diligent and hardworking than Black Saber when it comes to studying!
"But now that you're healed, come down." Mikaela looked toward the stairs, reached into the bag of apples, took out a large, red apple, and tossed it toward the stairs.
Footsteps sounded, and the person standing on the stairs slowly descended, catching the apple that Mikaela threw at her. She stared at Mikaela with a somewhat indifferent gaze and asked, "Who are you?"
"Cú Chulainn, you explain yourself. I'm going to cook."
Mikaela was too lazy to explain what had happened to Bazett, as he wasn't good at those things, so he might as well cook with Red A.
"Oh dear, I just got back." Cú Chulainn looked quite troubled. He glanced at Bazett's indifferent expression and smiled, "Looks like you've recovered quite well, Master."
"Cú Chulainn? You're healed? What about the other enemies?"
Seemingly sensing that the people here meant no harm, Bazett put away her Gae Bolg. In fact, she had noticed something was wrong with her surroundings when she woke up, but since most of her injuries had been healed and the Command Seal were still in her possession, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she planned to come down and greet the owner of this place.
Bazett was truly relieved after seeing Cú Chulainn, but she was still puzzled. She had been pierced in the heart by Lancer's spear. Although she managed to use the Gae Bolg at the last moment to severely injure the Riders besieging Cú Chulainn, she lost consciousness and didn't know if the Gae Bolg had been successfully activated.
"The other enemies... they won't be appearing for now, hmm... how should I explain this to you?" Cú Chulainn was naturally very happy to see Bazett wake up safely. He took her little hand and walked towards the sofa.
"Huh?" Bazett blushed slightly as Cú Chulainn grabbed his hand.
"Alright, please sit here." Cú Chulainn gestured for Bazett to sit on the sofa and then explained the events of that evening.
After Bazett fell into a coma, Cú Chulainn displayed his prowess, single-handedly fighting against five Servant and then successfully breaking through their encirclement, showing how heroic he was!
"This is too unbelievable. Fighting five Servant all by himself, without even using his Noble Phantasm, how is that possible?" Red A muttered to himself. Then he glanced at Mikaela, who had already started chopping vegetables, and exclaimed in amazement, "Saber, you can actually cook?"
"I know a little bit."
Mikaela only knows how to cook a few dishes, but he is also very much looking forward to the legendary Emiya family's food, so today he just wants to be an emotionless vegetable-chopping machine.
"Me too! Me too!!"
At this moment, Kiyohime also joined in; she can cook too!
"Ugh!! The kitchen is too small! Get out!" Red A immediately started kicking people out. The kitchen was already big enough for two people to manage, but it was a bit crowded for three.
"What?!" Kiyohime was extremely dissatisfied!
"We're back."
At this moment, Irisviel and Emiya Kiritsugu also returned. The two of them bought a large table, big enough for everyone to sit together and eat.
"Let me come down." Hassan of the Arm, also canceled his spirit form and helped Emiya Kiritsugu carry the dining table inside.
"Let me lend a hand, hahaha, Archer, hurry up, the table's here." Cú Chulainn stopped bragging to Bazett when he saw the dining table had arrived, and ran straight to the door to carry it in.
"It's only just started! What's the rush?!"
After kicking Kiyohime out of the kitchen, Red A picked up a spatula and officially started cooking.
Mikaela also crushed the card, and a kitchen knife with a dragon printed on it appeared in his hand. He was about to process the seafood.
"That's really nice."
At this moment, 'Jeanne d'Arc', no... it should be Laeticia, looked at the harmonious scene and smiled happily, although this so-called Holy Grail War was somewhat different from what she had imagined.
But she thought it was fine this way; everyone was laughing and having a great time, weren't they?
'Well.'
However, Jeanne d'Arc sighed, and as she looked at Mikaela, a scene came to mind.
This is... a revelation from the Lord, a revelation about a fragment of the future.
The sky was red. Mikaela on the ground, his life hanging in the balance. In front of him stood a girl with orange-red hair, who stretched out her arms as if to shield herself from the enemy's attack. In her hands were Command Seal; she was a Master.
A beam of light, brimming with destructive power, engulfed both of them.
Jeanne d'Arc could not see what was left, but she knew that this now very amiable maid was likely to face a great calamity in the future.

Chapter 191 Jeanne d'Arc of Arc's Intelligence (Second Update)
Asagami Fujino went upstairs and woke up Ryougi Shiki, who had been resting with her eyes closed.
Red Hare had obviously smelled the aroma too, and he wanted to come in and eat as well, but he was too tall, and being a horse, he couldn't sit down to eat.
So, out of desperation, Red A made a few rather unique carrot dishes.
Red Hare repeatedly praised Red A, saying he was excellent and even better than the chef back then!
All Red A can say is that times have changed, and people are becoming more particular about what they eat; he just has a little bit of talent.
"Sigh~ We were fighting to the death with the enemy last night, and today we're all gathered here for a meal." Cú Chulainn ate his fish, poured himself a glass of wine, and couldn't help but laugh. "This must be fate. Fate brought us together to deal with those guys from yesterday."
At this point, Cú Chulainn's expression turned quite cold. He couldn't forget how those guys had attacked him and his Master yesterday.
However, he quickly realized that it was mealtime and he couldn't show such a terrifying expression, so he returned to normal and continued to laugh, "Then let me tell you the information. Of the five guys who came to attack me yesterday, I know the real names of the other four, except for Archer."
"Do you want to know?" Cú Chulainn deliberately kept them in suspense, saying with a smile, "Although I can tell you unconditionally, since we're eating now, we need to find some fun."
"What's the fun?" Ryougi Shiki was somewhat interested; she was quite curious to know the enemy Servant's true name.
Although she encountered two enemy Servant, Ryougi Shiki didn't recognize them at all. Kiyohime and Red Hare also too busy running away to observe each other carefully, so they didn't recognize who the other person was.
Emiya Kiritsugu gave a cryptic smile, but he didn't speak, waiting for Cú Chulainn to continue.
"No need, we already know these guys' real names." After serving the last dish, Red A poured a glass of wine for Kiritsugu and Irisviel.
As if deliberately picking a fight, he said very kindly, "Moreover, the enemy assassins have surrendered and joined our side."
"???" Cú Chulainn was shocked. He looked at Red A in disbelief and asked, "Then tell me, what are those guys' real names?"
"The enemy is Lancer: Vlad III Valkyrie."
"Archer: Chiron".
"Rider: Medusa".
"Caster: Avicebron".
"Assassin: Hassan of the Hundred Faces."
"Berserker: Frankenstein"
After Red A finished speaking, Cú Chulainn was stunned. The enemy's information was far too detailed! And the enemy had two Lancers???
"Vlad III? This is bad." Bazett frowned, her reaction mirroring that of Emiya Kiritsugu; she clearly reacted strongly to the name.
"Yes, as you probably already know, summoning that king in Romania has a significant boost in regional recognition." Mikaela nodded, then sighed, "If it were just him alone, we could fight him, but he has several powerful Servant on his side."
Despite Medusa's embarrassing performance in the Fifth Holy Grail War, she is actually a genuine first-rate Heroic Spirit, capable of putting up a fight against Gilgamesh.
However, it depends on whether Medusa is willing to fight for her Master. If she is, Mikaela will be in big trouble.
Similarly Valkyrie, Chiron, and Avicebron are also quite formidable.
"Regional bonus? This is troublesome." Cú Chulainn hadn't expected that before he had given them all the information, they would throw out such a trump card. He finished his drink and exclaimed, "If I were a Lancer descended to earth, I would fear no one."
"But you're just a Caster right now," Red A continued to mock.
Despite the sarcastic remarks, Red A poured Cú Chulainn a glass of wine, and then seemed to be about to pour one for Bazett.
"No, I don't drink. I need to stay in peak fighting condition at all times. We're going to make our move tonight, right?" Bazett took the orange juice from Asagami Fujino and said very seriously, "If we're going to make our move, please call me. Based on what happened last night, I should be able to hold off Ichiki."
"..." Emiya Kiritsugu silently drank his wine, feeling envious. If he had that kind of strength, he wouldn't have to be threatened by Mikaela every day.
"Let's drink, let's drink." Irisviel maintained a gentle smile as she poured wine for Emiya Kiritsugu.
"I want to try." Ryougi Shiki also wanted to fight. She looked at Bazett and said very calmly, "After dinner, let's have a spar. I want to see just how big the gap is between me Servant."
"Okay." Bazett did not refuse Ryougi Shiki.
"No action was taken."
Mikaela kept his eyes closed. He didn't drink any beverage or alcohol; he continued to sip his black tea mixed with milk. He said calmly, "I need more information before we can take action. Let's reinforce this house first."
"I'll do it after I finish eating, I'll do it after I finish eating~" Cú Chulainn only then remembered that his job was to strengthen this room, and laughed awkwardly.
"However, the Holy Grail is now in a very abnormal state. Logically speaking, the Holy Grail should not be able to summon so many Servant now." Mikaela's attention was now focused on Jeanne d'Arc. The village girl was moved to tears as she ate the dishes made by Red A.
Her expression makes one wonder, is this really the legendary saintess? Why does she look like someone who hasn't eaten?
"Ruler, what do you think?" Mikaela asked calmly.
"Huh? What?!"
Jeanne d'Arc quickly picked up a napkin from the side and wiped her mouth, as if she hadn't heard what Mikaela had said.
"..." Mikaela repeated the words speechlessly.
"I only know a few things about this Holy Grail War." After listening, Jeanne d'Arc felt it was alright to reveal some information and said seriously, "For example, it's a 7v7 Servant war."
"Isn't Saber unable to be summoned because of magical limitations?" Mikaela wondered. This Holy Grail, currently buried in Romania, had only been created less than four years ago.
"I don't know the specifics, but it was probably one of the Servant left the stage who did the trick." Jeanne d'Arc sighed and said helplessly, "Before he left the stage, he absorbed a lot of magic power. He seemed to know that his soul would reach the Holy Grail. Although I don't know how he did it, his soul did bring a lot of magic power to the Holy Grail after it entered the Holy Grail."
"..." Mikaela's lips twitched slightly, and she said helplessly, "So, the Servant who left the stage brought a lot of magical energy to the Holy Grail?"
"Well, the Servant didn't give the Holy Grail a particularly large amount of mana, but it was enough to support the arrival of the Twelve Knights. So, according to 'Master,' it probably won't be long before you can summon Saber. However... I think you probably don't need to summon Saber."
Jeanne d'Arc turned her gaze to Mikaela, since there was already a Saber there.
