Remilia's words made Koizumi nod. It was indeed the case. The other party had only just been summoned, how could they know these things? He himself had been wandering around aimlessly for so long and still didn't know, so how could the other party know so quickly?
"So, what does Milady plan to do next?"
In fact, Koizumi himself had no purpose at all. Apart from regaining his memories, he had no other thoughts.
Moreover, Koizumi had a strange sense of familiarity with Remilia, so staying by her side should be fine.
Besides, did he have any other choice now besides staying by her side? Judging by her appearance, she clearly wouldn't let him leave alone. From her tone, it seemed that he had summoned her.
Although he had no memory of that, since he had collapsed at the time.
Feeling Koizumi's respectful attitude, Remilia nodded with great satisfaction, a hint of arrogance on her face.
"Not bad, from now on you must speak to me, Remilia-sama, with this attitude. Your attitude is good."
With that said, Remilia's scarlet eyes turned in one direction, a cruel smile on her face.
"And—the one over there watching the show had better come out quickly!" As she said this, a long spear wrapped in pink light appeared in Remilia's hand, and the tip of the spear pointed directly in that direction.
"Wait, wait, wait... I'm not your enemy, at least I don't want to be pointed at by the legendary divine spear..."
A blue-haired young man suddenly appeared in front of Remilia, a look of helplessness on his face.
That was the [Gungnir] from Norse mythology. Although he didn't know why a mere vampire would possess such a thing, this blue-haired young man had once possessed the [Gáe Bolg], which was based on [Gungnir], so he naturally recognized that the spear in the other party's hand was the legendary [Gungnir].
However, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was a [Fake], after all, he could feel that the level of the spear in the other party's hand was too low, so it was likely that it only possessed its ability but not its power, a "[Gungnir]".
But even so, it was already very troublesome. At least the blue-haired young man didn't want to clash with this vampire.
"State your name, and then I'll think about whether or not to stab you to death with this spear!"
The blue-haired young man couldn't help but smile wryly. Although the other party's attitude was very arrogant, such Servants were not uncommon.
"I am Caster of this Holy Grail War, my true name is Cú Chulainn. Nice to meet you, Lancer, right?"
The blue-haired young man, no... Cú Chulainn smiled faintly.
"That's right, Lancer, Queen of the Night, Remilia Scarlet!"
After finishing her self-introduction, Remilia narrowed her eyes, her sharp aura piercing towards the other party like a blade.
"So... can you explain where exactly this is, and what exactly has happened here? My servant seems to have lost his memories of this, so, you can explain it to me and my servant."
"Of course, if you dare to deceive me, I will let you fully understand the power of me, the Queen of the Night!"
Remilia didn't directly attack the other party. After all, it was very obvious that the previous Servant was very different from the Servant in front of her. The previous one had a lot of evil aura, and under Remilia's perception, this area also had this aura, while the Caster in front of her was like a breath of fresh air, completely different from the other guys.
Since someone had appeared who could let her figure out the situation, she would spare the other party's life for the time being.
"I think I'll pass on that. I've fully recognized your strength from the battle just now."
Unnecessary battles should be avoided as much as possible, Cú Chulainn thought. Otherwise, he would have already run to Berserker or Saber to fight them, if he simply wanted to challenge strong enemies.
"This place is called Fuyuki, and a Holy Grail War is being held..."
Before he could finish speaking, a series of explosions came from the distance, attracting the attention of Cú Chulainn and Remilia.
"Looks like there are intruders again... Want to go take a look together, Lancer?"
Cú Chulainn extended his invitation to Remilia, causing Remilia to frown slightly.
"Tch... How annoying, can't anyone let me have some peace? If Sakuya were here, it would save me some effort." Remilia's face was full of dissatisfaction. Remilia was very obviously unhappy about having to be disturbed by everything. If she could, she wouldn't want to go at all, but she couldn't get any specific information by staying here now.
"Then let's go together, but—" At this point, Remilia's gaze turned to Koizumi.
"Servant, carry me over! I don't want to walk over slowly... And if I fly, you, my servant, won't be able to keep up..."
As she said this, Remilia flew directly onto Koizumi's back without regard for Koizumi's thoughts.
Koizumi didn't say anything, but silently carried Remilia on his back. Remilia wasn't heavy, on the contrary, she was quite light. After all, she didn't look very old, and her body was petite, so how heavy could she be?
Cú Chulainn looked at Koizumi jokingly, "Little brother, you're really pitiful, to have such a Servant..."
Remilia crossed her arms as a matter of course, her face full of arrogance.
"As a servant, you should be aware that you should be a beast of burden for your master, otherwise, what is the point of the servant's existence!?"
"That really suits your personality... Hmm?"
Halfway through speaking, Koizumi realized that something was wrong. What was going on? It was as if he had said that sentence subconsciously, but he had only just met her? Why did he have a feeling that he understood her true personality very well?
After thinking for a moment, Koizumi shook his head. Forget it, if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.
"What's wrong? Servant?" Remilia frowned slightly, was this guy secretly saying bad things about her in his heart?
"Nothing, just a small matter..." Koizumi smiled faintly, and then followed Cú Chulainn towards the place where the explosion came from.
Chapter 3 Shadow Servants
"Bang!"
Being forced back by Rider and Assassin in succession, Mash couldn't help but bite her lip... So strong...
For Mash, an incomplete Servant who still lacks combat experience, even if Rider and Assassin are corrupted, low-quality Servants, they are still very difficult to deal with. It is estimated that only the Dragon Tooth Soldier type of guys can be defeated by Mash without any effort...
"Mash... are you okay..." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mash, who was fighting two enemies alone, with a worried expression. She clenched her hands unconsciously. She was very clear that Mash was just a novice Servant, and it was very difficult to deal with such genuine Servants, even if the other party was just a low-quality Servant, it was still too difficult for Mash to fight two enemies alone.
Olga Marie grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka, her face full of seriousness, "You're just going to cause trouble for Mash if you go up now. All you can do is stand here and believe that Mash will win!"
"...Damn it..." Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but punch the ground, a deep sense of frustration on their face.
Mash was fighting the Servant in front, but they couldn't do anything to help. It was infuriating.
Mash glanced at Ritsuka and Olga Marie behind her, a hint of anxiety appearing on her face.
"Senpai, Director, please leave quickly! I can't hold them off for long!"
"Interesting... interesting... interesting... interesting!" Shadow Assassin said with a strange laugh.
"That's right. Struggle in pain. You poor things are so amusing!" Similarly, Shadow Rider said.
"I won't leave. No matter what, I can't abandon Mash and leave on my own!" Ritsuka said, their tone unusually firm, which caused a hint of appreciation to appear in someone's eyes hidden somewhere.
"I thought this Master was just a little kid, but I didn't expect them to have so much backbone."
Gradually, a blue figure appeared before them, causing Ritsuka and the others to pause slightly. The two Shadow Servants also froze for a moment. "Well, I can't just leave this alone then."
"Ugh...! Who are you...!?" Shadow Rider questioned.
"Who am I? Isn't it obvious? A fellow traveler. What, did being swallowed by the black mud rot your eyes too?"
Cú Chulainn mocked.
"You're Caster! Why are you helping the drifters...?"
The two Shadow Servants in front of him clearly couldn't understand Cú Chulainn's actions.
"Ah? Of course, it's because they're much more interesting than you lot. Besides, I don't hate kids with potential." Cú Chulainn said with a smile, while looking at Mash to the side. "Alright, little lady over there, get ready to fight. Your strength is no less than theirs. If you go all out, you might pull off an upset."
"O-Okay, I'll do my best!" Mash seemed a little nervous.
Cú Chulainn nodded, then glanced around, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
As expected, with that Servant's personality, they wouldn't easily intervene to help. They'd probably just watch the show.
Then, Cú Chulainn's gaze turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Little girl! Are you the Master? Then you're in charge of giving orders."
"I am a Servant, my class is Caster. Currently, I am at odds with them for certain reasons. Although I can't say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, please trust me for now. For the sake of that little girl fighting alone and what you said earlier, I'll form a temporary contract with you and become your Servant!"
"I understand!" A look of determination appeared on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face.
At the same time that Cú Chulainn was helping Mash and the others fight, Koizumi and Remilia were watching the show.
Halfway through Koizumi carrying Remilia, Remilia suddenly said to take a detour, arriving at a place with a good view, silently watching Cú Chulainn and Mash fight the two Shadow Servants, seemingly finding it quite interesting.
"Not going to intervene, Miss Remilia?" Koizumi asked, puzzled.
"No need. Besides, it might alert them. Instead of that, it's better to watch silently and act according to the situation. Although I don't know where this is, judging from the surrounding environment, there are clearly no other living humans nearby. But you're alive and well, and you've summoned me as a Servant. That would only arouse their suspicion."
Remilia said calmly, revealing her dignity in every gesture.
But—"Clang!"
"Ouch~~~~~"
Because the area around where Koizumi and the others were standing was full of scrap metal, a small piece of scrap metal suddenly fell from above, hitting Remilia's little head directly. Instantly, tears welled up in Remilia's eyes, and she squatted down, hugging her head.
That appearance was simply—too cute!
Koizumi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, but seeing her like this, Koizumi didn't know why, but he really wanted to laugh.
So this is what they call a defensive crouch, huh? Miss Remilia looks pretty good in this pose.
Thinking of this, Koizumi couldn't help but crouch down as well, staring straight at her.
Only then did Remilia notice her problem. Instantly, her cheeks flushed red, and she kicked Koizumi's head, knocking him over, a look of intense anger on her face.
"How dare you laugh at me, your master, you lowly servant! Go die ten thousand times!!!!!!"
But Koizumi wouldn't just stand there and let her hit him, so he rolled away, dodging Remilia's attack.
"Sorry, sorry... By the way, Miss Remilia, the battle over there seems to be over!"
Koizumi quickly pointed to the battle, trying to divert Remilia's attention, but—
"Bang!"
Remilia still punched Koizumi in one eye, turning him into a panda.
"Hmph! There won't be a next time. If you dare to laugh at me, your master, again, I'll kill you without hesitation!"
Remilia declared, but her tone wasn't as harsh as it sounded. She was probably just saying it.
Then, Remilia's gaze turned to the battlefield. As Koizumi said, the battle was over.
Rider and Assassin weren't weak, but having been turned into Shadow Servants, their strength was greatly reduced. Compared to Cú Chulainn, who hadn't been corrupted by the black mud yet, there was still a noticeable difference. Moreover, Cú Chulainn himself wasn't weak as a mage.
Remilia glanced at the battlefield and didn't pay much attention, instead calling Koizumi to prepare to leave.
"Not going to make contact with them?" A hint of doubt flashed in Koizumi's eyes.
"There's no need. We don't know who they are, and making contact so easily could lead to being used."
Remilia said calmly, her tone as if she had a lot of experience in dealing with such matters.
This made Koizumi feel a sense of doubt in his heart. What had Miss Remilia experienced in the past?
That's true, though. Vampires are immortal beings, so it's normal for her to have such experience.
"Alright, let me see if there are any powerful enemies around here. I need a good vent!" With that, Remilia flew onto Koizumi's back again, issuing her orders.
"Aren't you being a bit too self-centered? Completely ignoring my feelings."
Koizumi couldn't help but retort, but his feet didn't stop, and he slowly moved forward.
"So what? I'm your master. Everything you have belongs to me. You do what I tell you to do. There's no such thing as free will. As a servant, you should always remember that. Not everyone can be like Sakuya. If you want to raise your status to Sakuya's level, then work your butt off until you die!"
Remilia said this very selfishly, which made Koizumi feel a headache coming on.
Although he knew that's just how she was, Koizumi still felt a little helpless.
"Speaking of which, I still don't know who this Sakuya you keep mentioning is," Koizumi couldn't help but ask.
"Sakuya is my maid, exclusively Remilia's maid. Remember this, Koizumi, even if you summon Sakuya, you don't have the right to give her orders. This is a matter of status, you must remember that!"
"Yeah, yeah..." Koizumi said dismissively.
"I'm serious!" Feeling Koizumi's perfunctoriness, Remilia immediately became dissatisfied.
As Remilia left, Cú Chulainn had already begun explaining things to Mash and the others.
"Th-that... Thank you for saving us at the last moment..." Mash said gratefully.
"Hey, it's nothing. This little thing doesn't even count as a favor, don't worry about it." As he said this, a teasing look appeared on Cú Chulainn's face. "Instead of that, you should be more concerned about your body. Shadow Assassin was aiming for your butt the whole time, wasn't it?"
"Ah...!" Mash blushed immediately.
"Yo, you look frail, but I didn't expect you to have such a nice figure! Score, score!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's lips twitched violently, and their eyes looked at Cú Chulainn with displeasure.
They had already blacklisted this Cú Chulainn. To say such frivolous things, he was practically a pervert, if not one already.
"Although I don't know what class you are, seeing how durable you are, you should be a Saber? No, you don't have a sword either."
As he said this, Cú Chulainn analyzed with his hand on his chin.
