He really found it hard to believe that such a Berserker could be defeated.

If he were standing in front of that Berserker, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to unleash his Noble Phantasm.

"Who are you talking about? Could it be that there are other Masters and Servants in this Singularities?"

Probably because she was standing close, Ritsuka easily heard Cú Chulainn's words and asked.

Cú Chulainn pondered for a moment before nodding. "That's right, besides you, I also encountered a Master and Servant who don't belong to this Holy Grail War. That pair is quite strange."

"Eh!" Both Ritsuka and Mash couldn't help but look surprised.

Olga Marie was even more excited. "Could that be the mastermind behind this Singularities?"

"I'm not sure, but after that Master was stabbed by Lancer, they unconsciously used their blood as a medium to summon a Servant. After that, that Servant relied on this fragile contractual relationship to directly kill Lancer, and then that Master fully recovered. Not only that, but that Servant is also very strong. At least, I don't have much chance of winning if I face them alone. As Lancer, I might be able to fight, but in my judgment, I don't think they are the mastermind behind this abnormal situation. After all, that Master seems to have lost their memory. The first time I saw them, that kid looked dazed, as if they didn't know anything."

Cú Chulainn said, adding his own analysis.

"Although it's possible they aren't, I think we should still contact them. What do you think?"

Dr. Roman analyzed calmly and looked at Cú Chulainn.

"I personally recommend finding them. If we have the help of that Servant, the chances of defeating Saber might be higher. After all, we have to deal with Saber, and there's also an Archer," Cú Chulainn said casually.

"Then… let's go contact them, Director?" Ritsuka looked at Olga Marie beside her.

Olga Marie didn't object, after all, she still needed to see if the other party was the mastermind behind the formation of this Singularities.

Her senior agreed, and the Director also agreed, so naturally Mash had no objections. As a Servant, what she needed was to support her Master and her senior.

At the same time, Koizumi, carrying Remilia, prepared to head back the way they came. The Berserker was already dead, so the next step was to continue searching for opponents, and Koizumi also needed to take the young lady to find a place to rest.

They had just experienced a battle, so how could they not rest?

However, even if he wanted Remilia to rest well, the current situation didn't allow it.

He saw Cú Chulainn followed by several people standing in front of him. Koizumi subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

"Yo, kid, we meet again…" Cú Chulainn grinned.

"Did you deliberately come looking for us? What's wrong?" Koizumi couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look.

Remilia looked at these people warily. She was already prepared to fight them.

Although she was injured before because of dealing with Berserker, with the powerful vitality of a vampire, she quickly recovered, and fighting was still no problem.

"Well, I mainly came to invite you to deal with Saber together. After all, I'm very clear about Saber's strength, but these few seem to have something else they want to ask you."

Saying so, Cú Chulainn glanced at Olga Marie and the others.

Olga Marie stepped forward, looking at Koizumi in front of her with a serious expression, her eyes carrying a hint of hostility.

"Who exactly are you? There shouldn't be any other living people in this town. Why are you here, and why can you summon a Servant? What is your relationship with this Singularities?"

Olga Marie's attitude made Koizumi scratch his head, feeling inexplicably confused.

"I don't remember anything. I appeared here as soon as I woke up. I only know that the young lady is a Servant, and I don't know anything else, not even what a Servant is."

Speaking of this, a look of distress appeared on Koizumi's face.

"Huh?" A look of astonishment appeared on Olga Marie's face, followed by a look of disbelief.

Someone who had already summoned a Servant was telling her that they didn't know what a Servant was. Could you believe that?

No matter what the attitude of others was, Olga Marie didn't believe it anyway.

"Are you lying to me?" Olga Marie frowned slightly and said.

"Who gave you the guts to question my servant like that?" Remilia flew down from Koizumi's back, her pair of scarlet eyes staring straight at Olga Marie in front of her. This made Olga Marie instinctively feel fear in her heart and retreat repeatedly, while Mash realized the problem and immediately stood in front of Olga Marie.

"Oh… a Servant with a shield, it's the first time I've seen one…"

Seeing that Mash's weapon was very special, Remilia couldn't help but take another look at her. Of course, it was just a glance.

However, just being stared at by that pair of scarlet eyes made Mash feel chills all over her body. This Servant was very dangerous, Mash silently said in her heart, and subconsciously, Mash's body tensed up.

"Alright, Lancer, the other party is just asking… By the way, are you interested in going with us to deal with Saber? Maybe if you defeat Saber, you kid will be able to recall some memories…"

Of course, Cú Chulainn was making this up. How would he know if it would happen? He could only say that it was possible.

After all, Koizumi appeared here after this anomaly occurred, so it meant that this kid might be related to the Saber who caused this anomaly. So maybe if they defeated Saber, this kid could return to where they should be.

"This…" Remilia crossed her arms and frowned slightly.

This could be possible, anyway, she had to solve this Singularities, so she had to go directly to the end.

"Originally, as the master of this servant, I should stand up for my servant, but… considering that our goals are the same, I'll let it go. Since you've sincerely come to invite me, it would be a bit unreasonable not to respond."

The corners of Remilia's mouth rose slightly, and a cold light flashed in her pair of scarlet eyes.

"Be honored, Caster. Since the anomaly here was caused by that Saber, then I will kill her!"

Remilia said so, as if she didn't take that Servant called Saber seriously.

Cú Chulainn couldn't help but smile wryly. Having fought Saber, he was very clear about that Saber's true name.

That one's strength undoubtedly had the qualifications to reach the top Servant, and with the support of the Holy Grail behind them, the extent of their magical power was enough to support them to continuously release Noble Phantasms. If they really fought, he wouldn't necessarily be their opponent.

But then again, this one who was able to defeat Berserker might really not be inferior to the other party in strength.

"Hey! Is this really okay? You're not just thinking about defeating Saber and winning the Holy Grail War, are you?"

Olga Marie looked at Cú Chulainn with a displeased expression, even though this pair of Master and Servant was still highly suspicious.

"Well, maybe you're right, but my intuition tells me these two don't need to hide anything. Besides, this Servant can defeat Berserker in a head-on fight, and I'm ashamed to admit I can't do that. Just for that reason alone, this kind of Servant is better suited as an ally than an enemy. Or do you think we can beat them?"

As he said this, Cú Chulainn gave Remilia and Koizumi a solemn look.

Even after fighting Berserker, Cú Chulainn didn't feel that Remilia's threat had decreased; instead, he felt she was even more dangerous. Fighting a vampire, whose recovery ability was ridiculously strong, was not a wise move. Even if she was somewhat weakened after a great battle, it still wasn't the time to fight her.

For no other reason than this: a wild beast that appears to be injured might seem like a good time to attack, but in reality, a wild beast is most terrifying when it's injured and enraged.

In Cú Chulainn's eyes, Remilia was in just such a state.

Olga Marie fell silent, forced to admit that Cú Chulainn made a lot of sense.

Although Olga Marie was arrogant and liked to give orders, as the director of Chaldea, she was still very capable.

Of course, she understood what Cú Chulainn meant, and especially when there was still Saber, a common enemy, it wasn't appropriate to fight Remilia. Even knowing that she was suspicious, she could only force herself to accept her in her heart.

After the group joined forces, they went to rest in a teaching building that was already abandoned.

She heard that the girl named Mash had been given a harsh special training session by Cú Chulainn, so she needed to rest now.

Similarly, Remilia also needed to rest. After all, after fighting that Berserker, Remilia's body had been in a state of tension, which wasn't good. Koizumi also suggested taking a break, no matter how stubborn she was.

"Fou~~ woo~~"

With a "pop," a bizarre creature jumped directly onto Koizumi's face, making him freeze.

Koizumi couldn't help but reach out his hand, and the creature jumped onto Koizumi's hands, seemingly very affectionate.

"What is it?" For some reason, Koizumi had a feeling that this creature was extraordinary.

"Hmm?!" Remilia's scarlet eyes stared intently at the creature in Koizumi's hands.

This creature gave her a very dangerous feeling. She didn't know why, but she just had that feeling.

"Fou Fou!" Mash hurried over, looking apologetic as she looked at Koizumi. "I'm sorry, this squirrel-like creature is Fou. It doesn't like to approach anyone except me. I don't know why, but it seems to like you very much."

"Eh? Is that so?" Koizumi was slightly taken aback, his gaze subconsciously shifting to the creature in his hands.

"It really is an incredible creature."

"By the way, my name is Mash Kyrielight, nice to meet you." Mash said politely, while introducing Ritsuka, it/its Master. "This is it/its Master, also my senior."

"Hello, Fujimaru Ritsuka, nice to meet you." Ritsuka introduced itself in a very bold manner, but it seemed very restrained in front of that Olga Marie, which made Koizumi feel curious.

"My name is Koizumi, nice to meet you, and also... eh!" Remilia had disappeared without him noticing. However, Ritsuka smiled and patted Koizumi on the shoulder.

"The Servant you're looking for is probably the one beside you. She seems to have gone to the top floor just now. The Director and Caster are also there, so it should be fine, don't worry."

Koizumi couldn't help but frown, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Remilia leaving like this, but Koizumi then sighed slightly. What could he do? He had already realized that Remilia was such a willful girl, hadn't he?

"Running around before you've fully recovered, can you not make me worry so much?"

Hearing this, Ritsuka and Mash couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that this person and that Servant had a very good relationship.

"Um... Mr. Koizumi, have you really lost your memory? Mr. Cú Chulainn said that you seemed to have summoned that Lancer using your own blood as a medium. Don't you know that yourself?" Mash couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, after interacting with Koizumi, Mash didn't think that Koizumi was a treacherous person. Subconsciously, Mash wanted to ask, although he might not tell the truth, but asking might reveal some clues.

Koizumi's reaction was similar to what they expected, with a hint of doubt on his face as he looked at the two in front of him.

"I don't remember anything about the past, and also, I vaguely remember being pierced by something, but when I woke up, I already saw Miss..." A trace of apology appeared on Koizumi's face as he said.

Ritsuka and Mash looked at each other again. To be honest, now that he had said this, what else could they ask?

At the same time, Cú Chulainn was on the top floor discussing Saber with Olga Marie, and Remilia naturally planned to come up and listen as well. However, this caused Olga Marie a burst of discomfort.

There was no way around it, Olga Marie was very timid after being stared at by her with that kind of gaze before.

"Hey! Caster, from your tone, it sounds like you've fought that Saber. What kind of Servant is that guy?"

Remilia's tone was full of curiosity. She had heard before that Heroic Spirits were a bunch of guys who had left a great name in historical myths and legends. Maybe one day she would meet her ancestor Dracula.

Olga Marie also looked at the other party with a curious expression. She was also very curious about Saber's true identity.

However, the moment Remilia mentioned Saber, a hint of fear appeared on Cú Chulainn's face.

"That's right, after all, as long as you've tasted that guy's Noble Phantasm, no one won't know that guy's true name."

"The second Sword in the Stone used to select the King, a very famous Holy Sword in your era as well."

"Its name is—Excalibur!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Olga Marie subconsciously covered her mouth, a look of shock appearing on her face.

Even Remilia couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Although the place where she lived was isolated from the outside world, that didn't mean she didn't know those so-called myths and legends. She had also read and heard about The Legend of King Arthur.

"It's actually Excalibur!"

"That's right." Cú Chulainn nodded lightly. "The sword of Artoria, the King of Knights, renowned throughout the world!"

"You actually want that child, Mash, to fight Artoria, how is that possible! She can't even fully deploy her Noble Phantasm yet!" Olga Marie couldn't help but feel anxious.

Although as the director she was very dignified and seemed arrogant to others, she also cared very much for Mash.

"I don't think that little girl can defend against that Holy Sword either. Although I sensed extraordinary power on that shield, the Servant attached to that girl must be someone significant. But if she can't even use her Noble Phantasm right now, then it's all just talk." Remilia said calmly, arms crossed.

"Well, no need to worry. The girl has that shield; she'll be fine." For some reason, Cú Chulainn was very confident in Mash's shield.

Seeing his confidence, Remilia frowned slightly. Could this man have figured out the true identity of the Servant attached to that girl? Strange.

"But speaking of which, that girl doesn't necessarily need to fight. With me and Lancer here, Saber shouldn't be a problem. After all, Saber was once at a disadvantage against Berserker, and only managed to win by relying on magic reserves. Lancer himself can defeat Berserker, and with my cooperation, I think Lancer and I can take care of Saber!"

Seeing that Olga Marie wanted to say something, Cú Chulainn quickly interrupted.

Perhaps he saw the true name of the Servant attached to Mash, but even if he did, Cú Chulainn wouldn't say it. In his opinion, it was meaningless unless Mash discovered it herself.

And after hearing Cú Chulainn's words, Remilia's inherent pride swelled up, and she snorted coldly.

"Did you even need to say that? That's just a mere rabid beast. As the Queen of the Night, I would never lose in a situation that favors me!" The favorable situation Remilia was referring to was, of course, the absence of the sun.

The sky was covered in darkness, which was definitely an excellent situation for Remilia.

Cú Chulainn looked at Remilia with a speechless expression. He was just giving a casual compliment, and this one just took it and ran with it. But speaking of which, this one's strength is indeed terrifying; that can't be denied.

Thinking of this, Cú Chulainn also looked at Remilia with a serious expression.

Although he didn't think that they were the real culprit behind this anomaly, he couldn't rule out the possibility, so it was better to be cautious, at least until Saber was defeated.

"Alright, I've asked everything I needed to ask. I'll head back down now."

Saying this, the arrogant Remilia walked downstairs with their hands on their hips.

It seemed that they just came to inquire about Saber.

Of course, that's what Olga Marie and Cú Chulainn thought, but what they didn't know was that Remilia was just bored and came up to take a look, to see if there was anything interesting happening.

And Remilia's essence was just such a capricious person, doing everything according to their own nature. To put it nicely, it's called being free-spirited; to put it bluntly, it's just being willful, no different from a child.

After resting for a while, Koizumi, Mash, and the others had a pretty good understanding of the situation. Of course, in the meantime, the doctor named Romani Archaman, who called himself Dr. Roman, also conducted a series of inquiries with Koizumi, of course, while Remilia was on the top floor. If Remilia had been there, they probably would have glared at him fiercely.

Cú Chulainn led Koizumi and the others to a very dark but spacious cave.
