What Kind of Type-Moon Is This!

Mash quickly became excited. Bai Ming spoke up at this moment, "Um... before we say anything inspirational, could I have a bite of breakfast first?"

"Ah... ah, I forgot. Senpai, here are the sandwiches and milk I made this morning. Please enjoy!"

As Mash spoke, she turned and went back into Bai Ming's room, bringing out the food she had brought in the morning.

Bai Ming just took the sandwich, leaving the milk for Mash. "You're still growing, so the milk is yours."

"Eh—"

Mash hesitated, but seeing Bai Ming's unrefusable expression, she took the milk.

How should she explain to Bai Ming that her life was short, and she had been diagnosed with a maximum activity limit around eighteen years old?

"Alright, Mash, I know what you're thinking. The bridge will appear when you get there; there will be a way."

Hundred Years' Evil Dragon War

Chapter 33: I'll Be Back in a Flash!

The operational meeting in the control room didn't last long.

Constrained by Da Vinci's work efficiency and time, the Grand Holy Grail's modification progress was still slow. This meant that Bai Ming had to take Mash to explore during the first Spiritron Transfer, while Akuta Hinako could only stay in Chaldea and give Fujimaru Ritsuka intensive basic common sense lessons.

"The first objective is to repair the singularity, the second is to investigate the Holy Grail, and the third is to collect a large amount of magical materials for myself and Da Vinci-chan to use."

"That's just a theory, right? A theory that the singularity is related to the Holy Grail..." Roman said helplessly, scratching the back of his head. Bai Ming glared at Roman. "Artoria wouldn't lie to me. She said this was a Grand Order appointment centered around the Holy Grail, which means our future journey will definitely be closely related to the Holy Grail. Ultimately, it's King Solomon's fault, isn't it?"

Roman fell silent.

Bai Ming spoke, "In any case, Mash, prepare to sortie to the first singularity. This is different from Singularity F. I require you to grow rapidly in the first singularity."

"Yes, Senpai!"

Seeing the two full of spirit about to enter the Spiritron Frame, Roman immediately stopped them. "Wait, there's one very important thing. We need to establish a summoning circle on the ley lines so I can conveniently transport supplies."

"Are you stating the obvious? I know we can use the shield as a medium to summon Servants related to the local area—Mash, let's go."

"Yes! In short, we need to establish a safe place, a building with a roof, a home to return to, and then reclaim humanity's future from these guys who have destroyed human history, right, Master?"

"Reliable Mash, let's go!"

Mash nodded and directly entered the Spiritron Frame.

"Ah— when working, you switch from Senpai to Master. Is this the legendary practice of using titles at work?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was studying nearby, finally couldn't help but interject. Unexpectedly, Akuta Hinako hit Fujimaru Ritsuka on the head with a dark expression. "Don't get distracted while studying! You're the worst batch I've ever taught!"

Although Mash still wanted to complain, the Spiritron Frame's excellent soundproofing system didn't let her complaints be heard.

Soon, with a sense of dizziness and weightlessness, Bai Ming and Mash successfully completed the Spiritron Transfer.

◇A.D.1431

Mash looked with great joy at the vast, boundless grassland. Having been born in Chaldea, she had never truly experienced the scenery outside like this before.

"Master, our transfer was successful! With the Spiritron Frame this time, we arrived smoothly!"

"Yes, yes..." Bai Ming replied to the enthusiastic Mash, then looked at the small, white, four-legged beast with a bow tied around its chest. Mash exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Fou followed us!"

"It's called Fou now, is it?"

Fou, who was more human than Merlin, nodded. Mash was completely astonished. "Eh— Senpai... cough cough, Master, did you know Fou before this?"

"You can call me Master or Senpai interchangeably. In the legend of King Arthur, it's the cat demon born from a pig demon—although that explanation was probably made up by Merlin later. Fou's real name is Cath Palug."

Fou nodded, then shook its head. "Fuwu—"

"I'll call you Fou anyway," Bai Ming said, grabbing Fou and placing it on his shoulder. When Mash heard Bai Ming say she could call him Senpai or Master interchangeably, she blushed and refused, "No! Absolutely not! They are separate. Master and Senpai are both very important to me; they are existences with different meanings."

"Alright, but regardless, there's no time for idle chatter—" Bai Ming pointed to the other side. "The current time is 1431, during the truce period of the Hundred Years' War. The war hasn't stopped anywhere, and that's the reconnaissance unit of France..."

"I'll go communicate with them!"

The part that should have been her explanation was snatched by her beloved Master. Mash felt that she could only act as a diplomat, as her Senpai didn't seem like someone who could communicate well with others. "Excuse me—"

Mash subconsciously blurted out in English, then immediately felt something was wrong. She should have greeted them in French!

As expected, the soldiers of the reconnaissance unit immediately shouted, surrounding Mash and Bai Ming with their weapons. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Eh— Senpai, I..."

"Let's move, Mash. We'll talk after the fight!"

Bai Ming crossed his arms. "Let me see your combat ability."

"Yes!"

Kind-hearted Mash didn't want to kill these soldiers with her shield blade. Instead, she used a strenuous method, forcefully hitting all the soldiers with the face of her shield. However, as this was her second real battle, the French soldiers immediately ran towards a nearby fortress.

Bai Ming watched Mash fight with all her might from the side, thinking, Omo.

"Ah— although there's a big difference between Servants and Pseudo-Servants and ordinary people, this is the first time I've felt it so directly—" Mash complained excitedly. "But I'm sorry, Master, I let them escape."

Bai Ming just stroked Fou's head and sighed, "I thought only Lancelot's family education was problematic, but I didn't expect Roman's family education to be problematic too."

"What does that have to do with me—" Roman, who had already connected the communication and was brushing up on his "Magic☆Merries" nearby, couldn't help but retort when he heard Bai Ming's words. "No matter what, I can't make Mash leave Chaldea to see the outside world!"

"Let's go, Mash. Asking the locals is the best way. Let's try to communicate in French properly this time."

"Speaking of which, Senior, when you were Duke Joslyn, did you speak French?"

"No, my main theater of operations was all of Britain, and I rarely had to 'interrogate' the French region."

Bai Ming spoke, "So, Mash, I'll leave the communication to you!"

"Yes!"

Mash, full of spirit, followed Bai Ming towards the fortress where the soldiers had fled: "This time, I will communicate with them properly in French! If we can't communicate through language, then I'm also skilled in martial arts!"

Roman, upon hearing Mash's voice, wanted to say something but ultimately gave up.

Bai Ming thought to himself: Although I didn't interrogate the French region, I severely interrogated Lancelot, that purple-clad Frenchman. I just don't know why the final Servant template generated didn't have a special bonus against Lancelot. Could it be because I didn't kill Lancelot?

After some communication, Mash easily gained the trust of the soldiers and learned that Jeanne had been burned to death, becoming a witch, and had used her flames to kill Charles VII.

"The British army has retreated, and the French soldiers have nowhere to flee, so they can only defend their homeland—what a tear-jerking story. So, where is your commander, Gilles de Rais?"

"Save the sentimentality. I'm detecting magical energy fluctuations from a distance! According to my investigation, they are skeletal soldiers infused with a small amount of magic—"

"Material collection battle begins. Ask Da Vinci-chan how many skeletons she needs?"

"Hee hee~ I'll take as many as Bai Ming can bring back~"

A rather flippant voice came through. Bai Ming stretched his limbs: "Mash, you stay here and continue gathering information from these soldiers. I'll be right back!"

With that, Bai Ming directly snatched the reins from a French soldier, mounted the horse, and charged towards the skeletal soldiers. Mash pointed to herself, then to the soldiers.

Who is the soldier? Who is the Servant? Who is the Master?

Chapter 34: Senior is actually a Berserker, right?

Bai Ming, alone on horseback, scattered the group of skeletal soldiers. Wherever he passed, the skeletons instantly disintegrated and were then collected by Bai Ming into his system space. The French soldiers, after reacting, quickly organized their ranks and charged towards the skeletal soldiers.

After several charges, the skeletal soldiers were completely wiped out, and all the skeletons were collected by Bai Ming.

The leading soldier exclaimed, "You can actually fight those things!"

Although Bai Ming couldn't understand what the French soldier was saying, he saw the other's admiring and longing expression and gave him a thumbs-up.

Mash's expression was subtle, and she explained in French, "Senior says they were just minor grunts, nothing worth mentioning. Are you sure Saint Jeanne d'Arc has been resurrected?"

The soldier replied, "Even though her hair and skin color are different, that is undoubtedly our former Saint. When we heard she was captured by the English and executed by fire, we were furious. But she was resurrected and made a deal with a demon."

Mash simultaneously translated the French soldier's meaning to Bai Ming. Bai Ming signaled to Mash that he understood the situation and said, "Look, it's a Pseudo-Dragon, a Wyvern."

Wyverns, or two-legged dragons, were not uncommon in Western mythology, but they absolutely would not exist in this 15th-century France.

"Dealing with flying creatures is quite troublesome," Bai Ming said. "Mash, tell them to tighten their formation. I'll knock them all down before they can breathe fire. These are all precious materials! Dragon teeth, dragon scales, dragon meat, dragon blood, dragon skin, dragon claws, dragon sinews—even Pseudo-Dragons are ninety-nine percent rare items!"

"Eh—Senior, wait!"

However, Bai Ming didn't hear Mash at all and had already charged alone on horseback towards the group of wyverns flying in the sky.

With a few thunderous cracks, the dragon flock in the sky began to fall like dumplings. From afar, Bai Ming's unintelligible shouts could be heard. Every single dragon that fell was killed by Bai Ming and stuffed entirely into his system space.

"Senior is actually a Berserker, right?"

Mash suddenly felt that if she weren't there, Bai Ming might have charged all the way from France to England. His staying here to obediently gather information was simply because she hadn't seen anything, giving her a chance to broaden her horizons.

Soon, Bai Ming rode back, and his horse finally collapsed, unable to go any further.

"Eh… I wanted to organize everyone to fight the wyverns together…"

A golden-haired, fair-skinned girl carrying a spear and banner, clad in silver armor, walked over: "I didn't expect to find such a valiant warrior here?"

Upon seeing the golden-haired, fair-skinned girl, the soldiers immediately panicked: "It's the witch! Run! The witch has appeared!"

Bai Ming immediately shouted, "Why are you running! Stand still!"

His shout was remarkably effective. Although the fleeing French soldiers didn't understand what he meant, they immediately stopped. After all, the skeletal soldiers earlier and the dragon flock just now had been dealt with after he shouted like this.

Even Mash, who was about to say something, was startled and snapped to attention, assuming a military posture.

"It's a very faint Servant reaction—" Roman's voice came through. Bai Ming, with a dark expression, directly cut off communication with Roman. The person was right in front of him, and this guy only reacted now. It was as if his presence or absence made no difference.

"I am a Ruler, my true name is Jeanne," Jeanne said, sizing up Bai Ming. "I am not the same person as the witch they speak of."

She hadn't intended to say this here, but seeing that man's hot-blooded and restless demeanor, she feared that if she tried to ask him to step aside for a private conversation, she would be cut down on the spot. With that in mind, Jeanne spoke immediately.

"Soldiers, I am Jeanne. I did indeed die by fire a few days ago, but I was summoned some time ago and returned to our homeland. Although I don't understand what this Dragon Witch you speak of is—"

Jeanne's voice was high and clear as she began her speech to the French soldiers.

Bai Ming remained silent throughout—he couldn't help it, he didn't understand French and could only act as a mute, relying on Mash to be his mouthpiece.

At this moment, Mash suddenly felt she was somewhat useful.

Jeanne frankly revealed much about her situation. The soldiers' unrest and fear subsided. After Jeanne calmed the soldiers and made the necessary arrangements, she looked at Mash and Bai Ming: "Now, may I speak with you privately?"

"What should we do, Senior? Miss Jeanne wants to speak with us privately."

"You decide, Mash." Bai Ming spread his hands: "I know what the problem with this Singularity is, so whether it helps or not is irrelevant. But for you, this is the second time you've communicated with someone outside Chaldea. Don't leave any regrets on your journey."

"I understand, Senior!"

Afterward, Mash communicated with Jeanne in French, learning that Jeanne, as a Servant, was incomplete and didn't know many things about herself that she should have known. She also informed Jeanne about Chaldea.

Jeanne considered her troubles not very important and even showed a hint of shy embarrassment on her face: "Right now, I can't even trust myself. No matter how I think about it, the one controlling those dragons should be 'me,' meaning another Jeanne, right?"

Mash spoke a few more words with Jeanne before coming to Bai Ming's side.

"Fou~? Fou-fuh..."

"Yes, Fou, you're right."

Watching the man and beast communicate without any barriers, Mash thought to herself: Ah—Senpai doesn't know French, but he seems to know Fou-language? I wonder what Fou is discussing with Senpai.

"Senpai, Miss Jeanne plans to advance towards Orléans to retake the city and eliminate the other Jeanne..."

"Then let's depart. After all, you want to help this amnesiac saint, don't you, Mash? Also, Jeanne and I suspect that the other Jeanne, Jeanne Alter, might share the same Class as Jeanne, both being Rulers..."

"Let's just assume your deductions are correct—" Bai Ming said, "Since we've decided, we'll search for scattered Servants on the way to Orléans. Where is the first city?"

Upon hearing this, Mash asked Jeanne and then relayed the answer to Bai Ming: "La Charité."

"Then let's set out tonight. If possible, we can resolve 50% of the problems in La Charité."

Bai Ming gave the order, and the three of them set off on the road to La Charité.

Chapter 35: Vortigern was killed by my fists!

At this moment, La Charité was being destroyed, but there were still survivors.

Several Wyverns were completely scattered under Bai Ming's lightning and were collected by Bai Ming into his system space.

"It seems I've met interesting people—"

The voice came from a heroic man with white hair, in his hand were some blue runes. Beside him was a white-haired woman wearing a mask, a purple-haired nun holding a cross and dressed inappropriately, and an unknown being draped in a white haori.

Behind these four was a woman with almost entirely white hair who looked exactly like Jeanne. Unlike Jeanne, this woman was covered in black and gray armor.
