Fate: Emiya the Host

At this moment, a blue square light screen appeared.

Roman's voice came out from it, ["What he said is correct, Director. If they really intended to take action against us, Mash wouldn't be able to stop them. So for now he should be a trustworthy Servant."]

["Besides, their Master seems to want to cooperate with us."]

As he said this, he very politely bowed to Shirou and Cu Chulainn, "Well then, nice to meet you. Even though I don't know…"

"Spare us the opening speech," Dog-Bro waved his hand at the light screen in disgust, "Just tell us who you are already, you weaklings."

["Weak?",] Roman was speechless.

["So in other words, you're not an official Master and Servant, but a temporary one. The Master Emiya Shirou has someone else?"], Roman asked.

"That's right."

After a few minutes of communication, everyone became familiar with each other's names.

Cu Chulainn, resting his staff on his shoulder, said, "This Holy Grail War had problems from the very start. After Saber was summoned, she had no Master."

"At the same time, a sudden great fire engulfed the city, and all humans and Masters disappeared, leaving only Servants behind."

"In such an extremely chaotic situation, Saber was the first to begin the Holy Grail War. One after another she defeated Archer, Lancer, Rider, Assassin, and Berserker."

"And the Servants she defeated, just like the Lancer earlier, were polluted by the black mud."

He said that and glanced at Shirou, "Before you arrived, my Master had already taken care of Archer, Assassin, and the previous Lancer."

"Now, Rider's whereabouts are unknown, and Berserker is just wandering around the forest outside the city, so our task is very simple, defeat Saber."

"End the Holy Grail War."

These words were from Olga Marie. With her hands on her hips, she said to Cu Chulainn, "As long as we defeat Saber and end the Holy Grail War, Singularity F will be repaired, right?"

"More or less," Dog-Bro shrugged.

"I have a question," Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hand like a little elementary school student.

"Just now, Caster said that all humans were gone. Then what about Emiya Shirou?"

"Uh… I'm a bit different," Shirou answered, "Because I'm the Master who summoned Saber."

"What!"

Even Roman on the light screen shouted out in shock.

"You are the one who summoned Saber?", Fujimaru Ritsuka shrank her thin shoulders in fright.

"Wait a second," Olga Marie felt the logic wasn't right, "Didn't Caster say earlier that Saber has no Master?"

Shirou explained, "You can't say she has no Master. It's just that something happened to me, and I wasn't able to appear in front of her right away."

"I see."

Olga Marie deduced, "Because she didn't see her Master at the critical moment, Saber went out of control."

["If it's just that, it shouldn't have caused such a big disaster,"] Roman said.

["There must be some other reason. In any case, you need to investigate it clearly, Director."]

"Do you really need to say that?", Olga Marie affirmed, "Anyway, no matter what caused it, once we defeat Saber, everything will be resolved."

"By the way, isn't it true that Masters have three Command Spells with absolute authority over their Servants? Why don't you just use a Command Spell and order Saber to kill herself?", Olga Marie's suspicious gaze.

Shirou showed the Command Spells on his hand, "Unfortunately, after I appeared I already lost my connection with Saber. In other words, these three Command Spells are useless to her."

"I figured."

Olga Marie also knew it wouldn't be that simple.

She asked, "Then do you know where Saber is?"

"Of course," Cu Chulainn looked at the sky twisted by magical energy, its central area being Mount Enzou, "she's right at the heart of the city, guarding the polluted Greater Grail."

"In short, aside from Rider who still hasn't shown up, we only have two Servants to face?"

Olga Marie somehow felt it wouldn't be that easy.

If things went on like this, they wouldn't need to put in much effort to resolve this Singularity.

After all, they had one Servant and two people who were basically like Servants on their side.

Mash was a demi-Servant.

Shirou had already been expelled from humanity by Olga Marie.

Even mages wouldn't be as monstrous as he was.

Once they confirmed their target, they quickly set off toward Mount Enzou.

They followed the road as it bent and twisted.

Shirou led the way, Cu Chulainn scouting up ahead.

Up ahead they passed a section of road that had been sliced by magical energy, a bit like a deep trench.

Shirou easily jumped up using strong magecraft.

Mash did it the easiest, she actually looked a little airheaded now.

Or rather, simple. Anyway, she didn't talk much.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Olga Marie struggling to climb up, Shirou reached out his hand.

"If we start thinking like that, then from the very first step we've already lost."

"What do you mean?", Faced with Shirou's hand right in front of her, Olga Marie was stunned for a moment.

"You don't mind, do you?"

Olga Marie sighed, "It's a special time, what's there to mind."

She handed over her fair and elegant palm.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, on the other hand, was a little shy.

After pulling the two of them up, Shirou answered, "Didn't Caster say just now that Saber defeated all the other Servants except him?"

"In other words, Saber has the strength to single-handedly defeat multiple Servants."

"Crap!"

Olga Marie clutched her head, "I completely forgot something that important. As the first in the order, Saber can basically be considered the strongest Servant in the Holy Grail War."

"And besides, a Servant's strength can't be determined by numbers."

Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, "Since Saber is the one you summoned, then… you should know her true name, right?"

"Of course," Recalling that brilliant radiance, Shirou sighed, "Actually, as long as you see that sword, there's nobody who wouldn't recognize her."

"The sword of the chosen king, Excalibur that was bestowed by the Lady of the Lake after Caliburn broke. Even in this era it's a world-famous holy sword. Its name is, Sword of the Promised Victory!"

"The Sword of the Promised Victory?"

Olga Marie's heart was hit by a tsunami, "That's the sword of the King of Knights, King Arthur, famed throughout the world."

"Unbelievable… you actually summoned that Servant."

"It's probably because there's some kind of connection," Shirou looked at the Command Spells silently.

———

"Cough, cough, cough…"

After crossing the Fuyuki Bridge, they had walked about halfway to Miyama Town.

While Shirou was gasping for breath, Fujimaru Ritsuka also began coughing.

"Are you alright, Senpai?", Mash, walking beside her, asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine," Fujimaru Ritsuka forced a smile.

Shirou looked at the distance and stopped, "Caster, I'll leave the surveillance to you."

"Taking a break?", Cu Chulainn's figure appeared on a three-story rooftop.

"Yeah, let's adjust our condition."

"Got it," Cu Chulainn disappeared.

Shirou led them to Homurahara Academy.

This place had also been burned to ruins by the great fire.

But it could still barely be used.

And it wasn't far from Mount Enzou.

According to Kotomine Kirei's walking speed, it would take about two hours.

If Shirou and the others went a bit slower, it would be about two and a half to three and a half hours.
