Extra 1: The Words on Mash's Shield

Yuxian little guy and started tickling him, not wanting to let the wrong one go.

"Ah! Master has killed someone!"

"Hehehehe... Master, please spare me! Let me go! I can't take it anymore!"

The room erupted into chaos, with people falling over and everything in disarray.

Hearing the playful noises inside, Mash smiled slightly, knowing that Yuxian would be alright.

The next day, Karna and Arjuna still had fan meet-and-greets, but they were too busy to spend time with Yuxian and the others.

With Yuxian, Yu led everyone on a leisurely stroll through the city.

As he walked down the street, he overheard two passersby talking about the Elizabeth Báthory's concert the day before.

This piqued Yuxian's interest, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen carefully, wanting to see what people outside were saying about the Elizabeth Báthory.

One person said, "Have you heard? Yesterday's concert was supposedly terrifying. Some people screamed and ran out halfway through."

Another person exclaimed in surprise, "Really? That's so exciting! I should have bought tickets to see it. It's such a pity!"

"Yeah, yeah, I don't really believe it either. It sounds too far-fetched. What concert is scary? It's not like watching a horror movie."

At first, the man nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that he had only heard about it secondhand and had not experienced it firsthand.

"That's right. It's definitely just hearsay. We can't believe these rumors. I think it's just something bored people are trying to create. Horror movies these days aren't scary at all, let alone concerts. If there really were one, I'd go even if the tickets were expensive!"

Yuxian was stunned. This was not what he had imagined. How could such a thing happen?

The direction of this rumor is a bit strange.

What he didn't know was that the news about the Elizabeth Báthory's concert had already spread like wildfire throughout the city, with all sorts of rumors circulating.

There were even rumors that supernatural phenomena occurred at the concert, such as an alien invasion.

In short, they go for the most mysterious and unpredictable methods.

As for those audience members who actually attended the Elizabeth Báthory concert, their words were not believed by others.

"What? Your singing is so bad it makes people faint? Ha! How exactly does it sound bad?"

Whenever they speak the truth with a heavy heart, there are always people who refute it.

No one believed them; everyone thought that what they knew was the truth, without considering that they themselves were just repeating hearsay.

The situation unfolded in a completely unexpected way, with some even calling for the Elizabeth Báthory to hold another concert.

It has to be said, this is truly an unbelievable thing.

Of course, if Yuxian knew that someone was calling for Elizabeth Báthory to hold another concert, he would run away immediately, as fast as he could, without stopping for even a moment longer.

Who has the leisure to stroll around here? Are they out of their mind?

The rumors in the city had nothing to do with Yuxian. He led everyone to stroll around this bustling inland city at a leisurely pace, looking at various shops and goods, which was also a way of understanding the local customs and culture.

"Senior, look."

Mash pointed ahead, Yuxian looked in the direction she indicated and saw an advertising billboard.

"A new movie starring Karna and Arjuna?"

Yuxian led everyone over, and there was a movie theater. The huge billboard outside had very eye-catching advertisements.

The advertisement is perfectly timed, as Karna and Arjuna are currently holding a fan meeting in this city, and it will attract a lot of people to come and watch.

"Since we've got nothing else to do, how about we go see this movie together?" Yuxian suggested.

He suddenly became interested in the film; since he had come across it, he knew he would regret it if he didn't watch it.

No one had any objections; they all felt it wouldn't hurt to go and see it, and there was no loss regardless of whether it was good or not, since it wasn't the Elizabeth Báthory's concert.

It's daytime now, and the cinema is relatively empty; there's no scene of tickets being hard to come by.

Yuxian quickly bought the tickets, while Mash and the children bought some snacks and drinks. The group was ready to watch the film starring Karna and Arjuna.

Knowing the identities of the two Hero of Charity and the one who was born with divine favor, Yuxian developed a different kind of interest compared to the other viewers.

If he could, he really wanted to keep this film and show it at Chaldea in the future; it would surely be a very interesting thing.

Chapter 456, Extra Chapter 1: The Words on Mash's Shield

"Good evening, everyone. Today I'm going to unveil a mystery that has puzzled countless Chaldea Servant."

"What is the mystery? Let me take you there..."

"Little Jeanne! Raise the camera a little higher, you can't get a shot of me like this!"

Illya held a microphone in a serious manner and began to speak in the tone of reporters, but she started to complain halfway through her sentence.

"I quit! You guys can play by yourselves, it's no fun at all!"

Little Jeanne immediately protested. She was already tired from holding the camera up with the flagpole, and Illya was making all sorts of demands.

She agreed when the idea came up, but now Little Jeanne has changed her mind.

Because she was assigned to hold up the camera, which was tiring and made her feel invisible.

Little Jeanne packed up the flagpole and camera, and said in a spoiled manner, "We don't want to make any documentary. We can just go and ask like this. Alice can write it down on paper later, which is the same thing!"

This time, Gretel was indignant. "I don't want to write this kind of thing! Go find someone else!"

What was supposed to be a perfectly good event suddenly became impossible to continue, with Illya and Little Jeanne at an impasse.

Anna curled her lip and said dismissively, "How childish."

"Shall we continue?" Abby asked tentatively.

"Come on, let's continue. It's okay if we don't record it. Aren't you curious?"

The children eventually returned to their original state, running around Chaldea in a swarm, and the Servant who passed by were all curious about their behavior.

"Mash!"

The children found Mash, who was reading a book, and asked, "Sister Mash, we want to know, what do the words on your shield mean?"

Mash her book, looked at the group of children in front of her, thought for a moment, and said, "Why are you all suddenly asking this question?"

"We're just curious! Mash, please tell us!"

Mash laughed and said, "Although I don't recognize it either, it should say, 'The Lord of the Lost'."

As the wielder of the shield, Mash naturally knew its origins and roughly understood the meaning behind its inscription.

The children left after receiving Mash's answer.

They huddled together and discussed, "Do you think Mash is right or wrong?"

"That's not necessarily true. You heard her say earlier that she doesn't actually recognize the words on it herself."

The children listened carefully, grasping the details in Mash's words, and expressed doubt about the answer Mash gave.

"So what do we do? Who should we go to say hello to?"

"Ah! I know! Let's go ask Da Vinci-chan; she knows the most!"

So the children ran off to find Da Vinci, who was working.

"Da Vinci-chan! Da Vinci-chan! May we ask you a question?"

Da Vinci was surprised by the children's questions. Although she was very busy, she stopped what she was doing and asked, "What are your questions? Tell me about them."

The children asked, "We want to ask, what does the writing on Mash's shield mean?"

"That?" Da Vinci explained with a smile, "That's Divine Script; it's not surprising you don't recognize it."

"It probably means to explain its function."

Da Vinci's explanation left the children bewildered. Looking at them with confused eyes, they asked, "What's the purpose?"

"Hehe." Da Vinci chuckled softly, "It's like the meaning of 'So-and-so was here'."

When Da Vinci said this, the children looked at each other in disbelief, finding it all too strange.

With expressions of doubt and skepticism, the children bid farewell and left Da Vinci's workshop.

Little Jeanne asked, "Do you believe what Da Vinci-chan said?"

The others shook their heads, feeling that Da Vinci's answer was even less plausible than Mash's.

"So what do we do now?"

"By the way, Da Vinci-chan said that this is the Divine Script. Let's go ask Medea. She knows a lot about this and she'll definitely know."

The children rushed to Medea's room again.

Medea, upon hearing the children's questions, thought for a moment and said, "That is indeed Divine Script, but the meaning of Divine Script is very varied. The words written on Mash's shield probably refer to its owner."

The children were even more confused. They asked three people, and all three gave different answers.

They didn't know who to believe or who to disbelieve.

Illya suggested, "Why don't we ask the great detective Holmes? He's the smartest; he'll definitely know who's right and who's wrong."

The children wholeheartedly agreed; everyone in Chaldea knew that Holmes was the most intelligent man, and the children were willing to believe him.

Upon entering Holmes's room, Holmes, holding a pipe, was organizing the documents in his hands.

After hearing the children's purpose, he smiled mysteriously.

"I understand your questions, but I can't give you the answers directly. You need to think about this yourselves."

As always, Holmes liked to keep things a secret.

He paused and then said, "I ask you, who owns that shield?"

"Sister Mash!" the children answered without hesitation.

Holmes shook his head. "I mean its true owner."

The children blinked. "The real master? You mean Knight Galahad?"

The children also knew that Mash's power came from Galahad, and they thought Holmes was referring to Galahad.

But they found that Holmes was still shaking his head.

Holmes smiled and said, "Galahad isn't its true owner either. Think about it again."

"Ah! I know! It's Artoria- neechan!"

Holmes nodded approvingly. "That's right. This shield is actually Noble Phantasm formed from the Round Table of the Knights of the Round Table, so its owner is naturally the master of the Knights of the Round Table, the King of Knights Artoria."

"But what does this have to do with the question we're asking?"

The children still didn't understand what Holmes meant. The great detective was indeed clever, but he wasn't straightforward enough, and the children were somewhat dissatisfied with him.

Holmes, seeing that the children's patience was running out, stopped teasing them and said directly, "If you want to know its true meaning, ask Artoria; she knows best."

The children nodded, finally realizing that they had taken the wrong path and hadn't asked the right person in the first place.

The children ran to Artoria's room to look for her, but couldn't find her. They eventually found her in the restaurant.

Even though it wasn't mealtime, Artoria was sitting in Chaldea's restaurant, doing something unknown.

However, this did not stop the children from asking her questions.

"Sister Artoria, we'd like to ask what the words on Mash's shield mean."

The children surrounded Artoria, asking her the questions that had been bothering them, their eyes fixed on her, eagerly awaiting the real answers.

Artoria had been smiling and quite amiable towards the children.

However, upon hearing this question, her expression immediately became subtle.

After a long pause, Artoria finally said hesitantly, "It doesn't mean anything special, it's just doodles."

The children finally got the answer, but it was quite different from what they had expected.

A simple doodle? The answer is so uninteresting.

The group immediately became listless and slowly walked out of the restaurant.
