Chapter 879 - The guy in the green hat again

No one cared about the now unconscious Shinji.

After successfully getting Medusa, he lowered her to the ground.

Still, he did not expect her to immediately kneel on one leg and bow her head to him.

"Master, what are your orders? Should I kill Ruler? I can do it now."

"...?" Jeanne wondered where Rider got her confidence after she defeated her so easily?

What she didn't know was that right after Medusa made a contract with Eiji thanks to Ruler Breaker, she felt an endless surge of mana.

If when Shinji became her master she only had less than 50% of her original power, now she had more than 100% of her original power.

Not only that, she felt her mana supply became unlimited and that proved how powerful Eiji was.

Her new master was amazing!

And the reason why Medusa immediately had a very good impression on her was because she felt a connection between them.

Not a master and servant relationship, but something deeper and intimate. It was natural because Eiji still kept the bloodline of the World Serpent which was the ancestor of all serpents.

Even Medea who had the Gorgon bloodline was still inferior to her. She subconsciously felt the superior pressure from Eiji and made her want to worship him.

Eiji himself forgot about that.

He thought Medusa was mesmerized by his good looks.

"No, didn't you hear what I said before? The Holy Grail War hasn't officially started yet, and I have no interest in the Holy Grail."

"For now, you will come home with me, Medusa."

Eiji did not let Medusa fight again with Jeanne.

Because with her current power, she might actually be able to kill her as long as she directly showed the power of her eyes.

With her mana, even Jeanne's defenses would be breached.

He did not want his other future wife to die so he stopped Medusa.

"Forgive me, master! And I will follow you anywhere!"

[Hmm... Medusa is a more serious servant than I expected and she's very loyal to me.]

[This face is really... Sigh.]

What do you mean by your face?

Eiji, you're narcissistic.

Because of her already high loyalty, Medusa wanted to tell her master that she could hear his inner voice. But like the others, she couldn't do so because of the censorship.

"Well, we'll leave now. Emiya-kun, you can tell your Servant to exclude me and my servant from your enemy list."

Before leaving with Rin, Sakura and Medusa left the place. Eiji did not forget to continue pretending to be friendly to the protagonist this time.

Oh, and erasing the memories of ordinary people who were still in school and had seen the supernatural scene.

Shirou was relieved and naively said, "Thankfully, I was worried that we would have to fight you, Eiji-sensei."

Jeanne couldn't help but argue, "Master, you shouldn't trust his words right away. He might be lying."

"Eh, but Ruler... I'm sure Eiji-sensei really has no interest in the Holy Grail. And remember how he became the master of the Rider?"

"Even so!"

She wanted to argue with her master, but in the end gave up.

Eiji smiled amusedly at her, she glared at him.

A short while later.

Shinji was completely left alone at school.

In his dream, he was tied up on a bed and a burly man with the appearance of a Magical Girl straddled him.

'Noooooo! Get away from me! Ahh! Ahh! Anyone, help me...!'

Unfortunately, no matter how loudly he screamed for help, no one helped.

Although he thought it was a dream, he was confused because what he felt was so real and he never woke up.

At least for now.

Eiji still wanted the boy to suffer longer before dying.

When the sun set and night finally fell.

The Fifth Holy Grail War finally officially began.

At the protagonist Shirou's family home.

"We won't let our guard down like last afternoon and let you fight alone, Shirou-san."

"To make sure Singularity F doesn't happen, we'll help you pacify the Holy Grail!"

Fujimaru and Mash said that in turn.

People must be confused as to why they were there now, but let me explain. Ever since they met with Shirou at school yesterday, they honestly admitted their lie about looking for someone and said the real reason they were in that place.

Knowing Fuyuki City would burn in eternal flames and many people would die if anything bad happened to the Holy Grail— Shirou also couldn't stay silent and wanted to help them.

Because of this, Fujimaru asked Chaldea for help to give him permission to transfer information. Dr. Roman gave him permission, and after being electrocuted by Fujimaru's device, Shirou got a lot of information about himself that existed in another timeline.

It was still him, but unlike him, he received magic lessons from a man named Emiya Kiritsugu.

Because of that, he also understood what the Holy Grail War was and soon, he had the Command Spell in his hands.

With the help of Fujimaru and Mash, he managed to summon a Servant without a catalyst.

He basically did a random gacha. But as the protagonist, Shirou was very lucky and since Artoria had already been summoned by someone (Eiji), he summoned Jeanne d'Arc of the Ruler class.

[So that's what happened. Now I understand why the protagonist Shirou in this timeline knows magic and summoned one of my future wives, Jeanne.]

Who are you calling your future wife!?

Sure enough, that man named Eiji Seiya is not a good person.

He must be planning something evil.

Jeanne complained in her heart.

"Fujimaru, Mash, thank you. Jeanne and I will do our best but where should we go at this hour?" Shirou asked in confusion.

He was really a beginner.

Fujimaru raised his fist like a Shounen protagonist, "We'll go to the other servant's location of course. As for their location... We have a device that can detect the presence of servants within 500 meters."

That was the device in Mash's hand.

Shirou nodded and Jeanne fell silent. They waited until Mash finally said, "Found it! About 300 meters from here, there is a mana fluctuation that is most likely another Servant."

"Mash, lead the way."

"Understood, Senpai!"

"....." Shirou and Jeanne.

They had no choice but to follow Mash and Fujimaru.

Under the moonlight, the four people ran around in the deserted streets of Fuyuki city.

On the other side, at the Tohsaka family home whose defenses had been enhanced by Medea's Bounded Field.

Eiji really had no interest in the Holy Grail in this war. But in an SUV that he teleported from his garage in Draconic Deus, he decided to take Rin to the location of the other servant.

Inside the car, there were four people. Besides the two of them, there was also Medusa and Musashi.

Prior to this, Medusa had of course been acquainted with Artoria and his other women.

None of them were surprised that he brought home a beautiful woman. After all, it was not the first time it had happened.

"Still, why don't we use your teleportation magic, Onii-chan?" Rin who had been silent for a long time finally asked.

Just like Mash and Fujimaru, Eiji also had his own way to find the location of the other servants.

But to get there, he made them drive a car.

"Because it's more fun? Look at Musashi, she looks excited."

Speaking of the pink-haired swordswoman, she often glanced at the scenery outside the window and exclaimed.

She even said, "Eiji, I want to drive this vehicle too! May I?"

Unfortunately, Rin forbade her after she asked if she had riding skills like Artoria.

Mushahi's answer was no.

So she was denied of course.

"You're right." Rin glanced at her carefree servant from the rearview mirror with a helpless expression.

Just then, Medusa suddenly said to everyone.

"We should stop here, the other party's servant has realized our presence and is ready to welcome us."

Hearing what she said, Eiji hit the brakes and the car stopped in the middle of the road.

He glanced at Rin who was sitting beside him, "As Medusa said. Rin, are you ready?"

"Yes! Onii-chan, you just have to watch me from inside. Mushahi, let's go to face the enemy."

Rin had no fear or nervousness on her face, she casually got out of the car with her servant.

"Hehe, take it easy, Master! Whoever's waiting ahead, I'll cut them down beautifully."

Musashi said as she walked beside her.

About 15 meters ahead of them, there was a man with bright blue hair tied in a ponytail.

He wore a tight bodysuit and held a red spear in his hand.

Inside the car, Eiji laughed. "Hahaha! It really is him."

"Master, what do you recognize the identity of the enemy's servant?" Medusa asked curiously.

Her master propped up his chin with one hand, she could see the amused smile on his face from the rearview mirror.

"Yes, he happens to be one of my victims, Medusa."

"Victim?"

"More precisely, I defeated him in the past and caused him to have a mental breakdown after I fucked his master in front of him."

"....."

Medusa was surprised, the way her master defeated his enemy was more terrible than she expected.

[That is Cu Chulainn! Scáthach, I meet your apprentice again. Is this fate? Just kidding.]

[In the original work, the Lancer summoned in the Fifth Holy Grail War was him.]

[I wasn't surprised and thought this would be fun. I wonder if he still remembers me?]

The heroines who knew the history between Eiji and Cu Chulainn were stunned.

Especially Scáthach, she couldn't help but think her former apprentice really had a very bad fate.

He met Eiji again for the second time.

Gosh, he would definitely suffer.

"Yo, I thought I'd find two lost girls. But what I found was a beautiful master and her servant."

"I'm Lancer, and you must be Saber."

Chulainn pointed at Musashi with the tip of his spear.

He didn't know the man he hated the most was in the car in front of him. Not only because the glass of Eiji's SUV was black, but he was hiding his and Medusa's presence.

"Oh? A sharp aura and you have a very good spear. So you're Lancer? Nice to meet you, hero from another land."

"And yes, I am Saber."

Musashi's eyes became sharp, her casual aura disappearing instantly.

"Enough with the conversation between you two. Let's get this over with."

Rin was in a hurry, she didn't want to hear any man other than Eiji babbling.

Chulainn smiled mockingly, "Girl, don't be impatient. Your servant is not necessarily strong enough to—"

*Clang!*

He did not finish his words and hurriedly blocked the attack coming at him.

Musashi darted forward, she moved so fast that she closed the distance between them in one second.

The sound of metal clashing echoed through the deserted streets. Her double swords and Lancer's spear clashed at a speed that was hard for the human eye to follow.

"Who do you think is not strong enough, man? Don't look down on me just because I'm a woman."

When Musashi said that, she managed to make a scratch on Lancer's cheek. She was the best double swordsman in the country, her speed and sword skills were obviously very high.

Chulainn was even immediately on the defensive, he was being pushed back with every second.

"So fast! But you misunderstand, I never underestimate a female warrior because my teacher is also a very strong woman."

He spoke of his master, Scáthach with pride. Still, there was sadness and irritation in his eyes.

He was clearly recalling a bad memory of that time.

That's right, he still had memories of what Eiji did to his master.

His expression became cold.

Musashi did not know why the face of the man in front of her had turned slightly green and not caring, she instead seized the opportunity to use another technique in her invented double sword style—Niten Ichiryu.

She performed a cross slash that created great air pressure. Lancer jumped back, frantically avoiding the slash with an impossible acrobatic maneuver.

Cold sweat dripped down his forehead, the woman in front of him was stronger than he thought and made his blood boil.

"Miss, what is your name? I Cu Chulainn would like to duel as a knight with you."

Unlike a typical servant, he didn't care about revealing his true identity.

In a hidden place, a woman with short maroon-colored hair and wearing a male suit had an ugly expression.

"Lancer, what are you doing!? How can you reveal your identity to the enemy so easily!?"

"Master, such things are pointless. In the end, only the strongest among us will win."

Hearing what her servant said through mental communication, Bazett Fraga McRemitz was angry.

In the original work, Eiji remembered she was one of the female masters in the Fifth Holy Grail War. However, she had only appeared briefly before being brutally betrayed by her old colleague from the Church, Kirei Kotomine.

How could it not be?

Kirei was absolutely ruthless.

He attacked Bazett suddenly and cut off her left arm to steal the Command Spell in that hand.

With the Command Spell, Kirei forced Lancer to break the contract with Bazett and become his Servant. This is the reason why in the Fate/stay night story, Lancer is seen serving Kirei.

[Lancer's master, Bazett Fraga McRemitz is quite beautiful.]

[Luckily Rin had killed Kirei earlier. Otherwise, he would have cut off one of Bazett's hands and left her paralyzed as a Magus.]

[Poor woman.]

So, what are you going to do to her, Eiji?

The heroines who knew him well were numb.

Many of them had guesses about what he would do to Bazett even though she was an enemy.

Back again to the battlefield.

"My name is Miyamoto Musashi! Ishana Daitenshou!"

Mushahi didn't care about hiding her identity either.

And Rin did not scold her for it.

But the last two words she said were the name of her other technique.

More slashing crosses were unleashed by her.

Chulainn again dodged like an acrobat but several slashes hit his body. His chest and waist had slash marks.

Finally, he decided to use the spear ability in his hand— Gae Bolg.

"Miyamoto Musashi? A strange name, but that technique... Interesting! Let's see if your sword can break through this spear curse!"

Rin shouted from behind. "Musashi! Watch out for his foot position! If he takes a low stance, he'll unleash an attack on your heart!"

She knew about Chu Chulainn and the curse his spear, Gae Bolg, held.

Sensing the danger of death emanating from that red spear, Musashi already knew that it was extremely dangerous.

"I know, Master! My spirit can sense it... it is aiming for the 'point' of my death. But sorry, Lancer, I've crossed the line of death many times!"

Musashi concentrated her focus, the shadow of a giant arm began to appear behind him—the power of 'Emptiness'—as Lancer began to flow red mana into his spear.

In the next second, their attacks collided with each other.

Instantly, all the glass including Eiji's car within a 100 meter radius shattered. Explosions enveloped in red and pink mana collided in no time, Musashi's slash cutting through everything and even Gae Bolg.

*BOOM!!*

A slash that was no less than Okita's Void slash rushed towards Chulainn and cut off one of his arms.

The buildings behind him were also neatly cut off.

Eiji whistled and clapped his hands.

"Subarashi! As expected of Miyamoto Musashi."

"Hehe, am I cool, Eiji?"

Musashi turned around and immediately returned to her casual attitude.

Eiji nodded, "You're so cool that I want you to be my wife too."

"Oh my!"

Rin looked at the two people teasing each other flatly.

Still, Chulainn was surprised.

Not because he lost because Gae Bolg broke and lost one of his hands, but...!

"Eiji, you, you... Why are you here!?"

He asked in a trembling voice.

It was hard to believe that he was a famous hero.

Because right now, his body was trembling and his face paled as if he was suffering from ptsd (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Eiji got out of the car and Medusa followed him.

He grinned and waved one of his hands. "We meet again. I didn't expect you to still remember me, Chulainn."

"!!!"

It was really him!

The bastard who had defiled his master.

Chulainn vomited blood.
