"It was all because Master was so outstanding. I'm only a flawed Demi-Servant."
Mash said modestly, while lavishly praising Lianye.
"Not at all, Mash's growth can't be underestimated either. A shield capable of withstanding a single strike from an evil dragon would be a very dependable Servant to anyone~~~"
Lianye said with a smile. Sure enough, dealing with a gentle, lovely junior like her was far more pleasant than dealing with that big bitch.
The result of this round of "commercial mutual flattery" was that Mash shyly lowered her head, though her happiness was obvious. Lianye, meanwhile, had also shaken off the gloom Da Vinci's whisper had brought him and felt much better.
"Hey, hey, hey? What about me?! Bastard, praise me already!"
Gudako clamored arrogantly from the side. That rowdy appearance suited her sadistic style even more.
"Ahaha..."
Dr. Romani wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Still, as a natural people-pleaser, he satisfied Gudako's request. "Of course. Gudako did wonderfully too. Despite being a Master without the ability to control Servants, she was still able to contend against great heroes from every era within the Orleans Singularity..."
Not just in a Singularity. Even if you Spiritron Transferred her alone to prehistoric times, Gudako would stubbornly survive until the present for you to see! Because humanity's potential was limitless, and Humanity's Evil was equally indelible.
"Alright, enough small talk. Dr. Romani didn't just want to offer thanks, did he?—It's still far too early for thanks!"
Lianye shrugged. Only the first of the seven Singularities had been cleared. It was still far too early for words of celebration.
Besides, judging by the usual logic where the Four Heavenly Kings generally numbered five, who knew whether an eighth or ninth Singularity might pop up after the seven? Or perhaps—"Pseudo-Singularities"?
