Haru had failed to defeat Jack the Ripper.
If he wanted to search for her then it would be very difficult with Jack’s skill and ability since hiding was her forte.
Although Haru had defeated the Berserker of Red, Jack the Ripper was an even more dangerous servant than the Berserker of Red since compared to Berserker of Red who could only rampage, Jack the Ripper would kill her enemy during the dark.
In Haru’s opinion, among the seven classes of servants in the Holy Grail War, he felt that the most troublesome would be Assassin since he could easily defeat the other classes of servants as long as he met them.
However, Haru was wondering whether he would be able to tame Jack the Ripper, but he quickly shook his head when he thought about the relationship between Jack the Ripper and her master.
Haru also had to admit that Jack the Ripper’s master was very good since she summoned Jack without hesitation since if the master didn’t do so, Jack the Ripper would lose her life.
While thinking about this matter, Haru and Raikou walked together back to join Fiore.
However, Haru didn’t expect Fiore to come toward him while carrying Caules with a somewhat tired expression.
“I am sorry, Kasugano-kun.”
As soon as they met, Fiore lowered her head to Haru and said apologetically.
“I am really sorry for not being able to support you in the battle.”
Fiore’s expression was full of exhaustion, guilt, and regret when she said those words.
Even Caules was next to Fiore looking very embarrassed, pushing the frame of his glasses, and chose to silence his mouth.
Raikou wanted to say something, but her butt was slapped by Haru for not saying something nonsense, however, she blushed and somehow realized it was good being slapped on her butt.
Haru didn’t notice Raikou’s expression and asked, “Have you encountered an enemy too?” It was the only reason why Fiore didn’t come to support him since she also encountered an enemy too.
“Who is the enemy?”
Haru could guess who was Fiore’s enemy, but he needed to ask anyway.
It wasn’t Fiore who answered this question, but Caules.
“Saber.” Caules looked at Haru and said, “It was Saber from the Red Faction who attacked my sister.”
“Saber, huh?”
Haru nodded and understood why Caules and Fiore were so haggard, though, he didn’t expect Saber of Red and her master would also come to Bucharest.
Haru knew that on the Red Faction, only the master of Saber of Red and his servant who acted alone on this Holy Grail War.
However, no one expected that the other party would come to Bucharest.
Haru didn’t think that they were being instructed by the Shirou, but rather they came because they smelled a battle in Bucharest, that’s the only possibility, after all, the Saber of Red was very keen on the sense of the battlefield.
When Haru thought about it calmly, he felt that it was quite normal when he thought that Saber and her master would come to Bucharest when there was such a huge commotion in this city.
Fiore was suddenly attacked by the Saber of Red on the way to support Haru.
“I couldn’t see the other party’s appearance.” Fiore let out a long sigh and said, “The Saber of Red wears a fully clad armor and helmet. That armor seems to have an effect on hiding the status of the servant. I can only see part of the status of the Saber, but it is impossible to see anything else.”
The Saber of Red suddenly appeared in front of Fiore and challenged Chiron.
The result of their battle was a tie.
“Chiron was injured and he is resting now.” Fiore lowered her eyes and said, “The Saber of Red also retreated. I fought against the opponent’s master, but almost lost.”
Although she didn’t know the appearance of the Saber of Red, she knew the master of the Saber of Red since Yggdmillennia had already collected the information of every master on the Red Faction.
“His name is Kairi Sisigou, right?” Caules said in place of his sister.
“He’s a former student of the Clock Tower of the Magic Association. He’s a necromancer. He was commissioned by the Magic Association to participate in this Holy Grail War and he’s very active as a Spellcaster.”
Spellcaster.
Spellcaster is the name given to those who use Magecraft without following the way of the magus, such as Kiritsugu Emiya and Flueger who treated Magecraft as just a tool. Usually, their general skill with thaumaturgy is low, but it is not uncommon for them to be highly proficient in a single field that they choose to specialize in.
However, they were scorned upon by the society of Magus since their aim was very vulgar in the eyes of Magus.
If a Magus is a scholar who studies mystery and aims to reach the root, then a Spellcaster is a worker who uses a Magecract as a tool and uses it to gain a monetary exchange for their service.
In the eyes of those Magus, they disdained those Spellcasters who would do anything for money, and even being frowned upon.
Kairi Sisigou might not be able to match Magus in terms of knowledge, but he ranks equally in terms of battle experience with Darnic, who has survived for a hundred years.
In the past, Kairi’s talent as a magus was first-rate but is now second-rate. As a Spellcaster, he is first-rate.
Kairi is a necromancer and accompanies the practice with the use of state-of-the-art weaponry, normally thought of as “heresy” in the world of Magus. With his unconventional weaponry, it can be said that he is likely the only one of the many necromancers to have managed to make the bodies of Magus and magical beasts suitable for killing weapons. Though a single one of the combat homunculi of the Black Faction is formidable enough to match the average magus, he makes easy prey of multiple at once.
When the servants of both sides were fighting against each other, Fiore also fought against Kairi.
As Fiore lacked experience in fighting, even though she was a very talented Magus with great potential that even overwhelmed Kairi, but in the end, she lost the battle and was almost killed by Kairi.
As a result, it was Caules who helped Fiore before she was killed by Kairi.
Then the Saber of Red and Archer of Black, who were wounded from the battle, chose to retreat.
Tonight, in Bucharest, six servants appeared.
The Archer of Black.
The Assassin of Black.
The Berserker of Black.
The Saber of Red.
The Archer of Red.
The Berserker of Red.
There were six servants in total and the six of them fought against each other, but the result was quite tragic.
The Archer of Black and the Saber of Red were injured and retreated.
The Assassin of Black escaped.
The Berserker of Red killed directly in the fight.
Though even if Haru didn’t appear, Raikou probably could end Spartacus with unlimited Magic Power that she received from Haru, however, she needed to use her Noble Phantasm to defeat Spartacus which might lead to the situation when her True Name would be revealed.
Only the Archer of Red, Atalante, was alright since her goal from the beginning to the end was to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack on Haru and directly left after she had done so. Even though she was alright, a Command Spell was used to summon her back.
In this battle, the cruelty of the Holy Grail War was shown, however, not only that.
When in Bucharest, there was a huge battle, there was also a major event on Trifas.
Fiore’s cellphone rang so suddenly, but she was startled.
“Sorry.”
Fiore apologized to Haru before answering the cellphone.
Haru had to admit that Fiore was a very polite and cute girl at that moment.
When he nodded, Fiore answered her cellphone.
“Yes, this is Fiore Forvedge Yggdmillennia.”
In response to Fiore’s answer, Haru heard what they were saying from the cellphone which made him frown.
“What..?!”
The next second, Fiore was taken aback she almost fell from her wheelchair. If her wheelchair wasn’t being stopped by Haru then she might have fallen from it. Even so, it didn’t erase the shocked expression on her face.
“Saber has committed suicide?! Rider defected?!”
The shocking news reached Fiore’s ears.
Caules’s glasses slid directly to the ground, and his face was full of shock.
Haru, well, he let out a sigh and wondered whether it was the start of forbidden love between the Rider of Black and…
