I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Preface: Originally this animation was done well, it doesn’t matter whether I post the original text or not. But then I thought about posting a lot of abandoned animations. After all, it’s not the well-known “Fate Zero”, so I did it by the way. Clicking on modification wasted more than an hour of my time. I really can't do more of this kind of thing. It's a waste of time and I don't have any money.

Time moved forward half an hour, and Lion Tribulation was taking Mordred, the red saber in spiritual form, to the mountain church in Sighisoara as agreed on the note.

Compared with Tulifas, the enemy's base camp, and Bucharest, which is far away, this is the most suitable city to serve as a stronghold for the red side.

Although he does not know the status of the other party's followers, he seems to be able to sense whether the red followers of his own color have been summoned. Saber has asserted that the remaining six classes have all been summoned.

The Thousand Realm Tree clan, who had prepared early, may have summoned all their followers. In other words, it doesn’t matter when the battle starts. Anyway, go to the designated location first.

Thinking this way, Shishijie climbed up the steps with the canopy step by step.

The spiritually transformed Saber suddenly spoke to Lion Zed.

"Master, I have something to ask of you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Buy me some clothes."

This request was too unexpected to say the least, leaving Lion Jie speechless for a moment.

"Why?"

"Being in a spiritual body always makes people feel itchy. I don't have to put my feet on the ground, which makes me feel uneasy. And I can't go shopping during the day like this."

Indeed, as Saber said, speaking of her clothes and body covered in armor, it was impossible to expose her to the public. Of course, since the Holy Grail War is usually fought at night, it would be true to say that clothes are not needed. but--

"Please, Master. I believe my Master is not the kind of stingy person who is reluctant to spend money on clothes."

What a willful guy, Lion Jie sighed. But it's nine o'clock in the morning, and no clothing stores are open at this time. The two of them had tentatively agreed to go shopping for clothes as soon as the meeting was over.

Climbing to the top of the stairs, Shishi Jie made sure there was no one around and stretched his hand towards the church door. It was now nine o'clock, and he checked again to see if the time was on time.

After opening the heavy door and stepping inside, I saw a man standing opposite the nave - in front of the altar. Judging from the fact that he was not surprised even when he saw Shishi Jie, he must be entertaining people.

"--welcome."

Lion Jie gently raised his hand, with a smile on his face.

"This is the agreed place, and you are the one who called me here, right."

"Yeah, of course."

Shishi Jie nodded, and whispered to the spiritual Saber as he walked through the middle hall:

"Saber, are there any servants?"

"No, I can't detect it. But I always have a bad feeling, so be careful Master."

Unable to detect it, but with a bad premonition, the follower's answer made Shishi Jie have doubts in his heart, but he had no time to think about it.

He sat down on the long chair in front of him and observed again from a close distance. He found that the host was younger than he thought. Judging from the monk's uniform, he should be the priest sent by the Holy Church. With an innocent face and a mature smile, he said:

"First meeting, I am Shirou Kotomine, the supervisor of this Holy Grail War."

The moment he heard the name, something flashed in Lion Jie's mind. But it was too subtle, just a sense of violation that could be ignored, so he didn't think much about it.

"I am Lion Jie Jieli. I will omit my self-introduction. Anyway, you have already investigated it, right?"

"Yes, as you said."

What a suspicious smile, Lion Jie thought. The expression on his face was an optimistic smile. This is not the smile that someone under the age of twenty should have.

"Aren't you going to let your followers materialize?"

"No, it's not——"

"Let me materialize quickly, Master, I have a very bad feeling."

After hearing this, Lion Jie immediately connected.

Immediately, along with golden particles, "red" Saber Mordred appeared. She began to look around cautiously, protecting Lion Jie.

"oops."

Shirou glanced at Saber who suddenly appeared, put his fingers against his eyes, and wanted to laugh but didn't.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. Then, I will also let you meet my servant - materialize, assassin."

"I understand, my lord."

The sudden sound frightened Lion Jie to his feet. Beside the bench where he was sitting, Assassin materialized.

"Hey, is it assassin?"

When Assassin appears in the world, he can obtain the special class ability "Aura Concealment". If you use "aura shielding" while in the spiritual state, as long as you don't enter an attack posture, you won't be able to detect it.

"I am the Red Assassin. Please take good care of me. My name is Lion Jie."

A sweet fragrance wafts around, and the decadent beauty in a heavy dress smiles and trembles her slender fingertips.

"I'm the."

Lion Jie left her side with a stiff smile. Speaking of assassins, Hassan Sabah was always summoned during the "Fuyuki's" Holy Grail War. So, is she one of them?

Lion Jie made a negative estimate based on intuition. The Old Man of the Mountain (Hassan) is pure assassin. Obliterate targets with techniques acquired through hardening your body and mind. The impression she had in front of her was very weak. What is worthy of her is not assassination, but murder. A word or a glance can easily kill a target.

"——What a disgusting woman"

After hearing Mordred's whisper, Lion Jie agreed from the bottom of his heart.

"Assassin, Mr. Lion Jie is troubled."

"I know, I know."

With a chuckle, Assassin left Shizi Jie.

"Then, I will report the current situation as soon as possible. The Thousand World Tree clan has retained six servants. Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Caster, Berserker. It seems that Lancer is the only one who has not been able to meet up."

"Who know their real names?"

"It's a pity that I can't even grasp any of them now. However, since I haven't fought directly, this is natural. This level of information about the attributes of the six can be confirmed."

Shirou took out the file from his arms. Lion Jie thanked him and took it and browsed the contents roughly. There are only attributes of the six servants on it, and the most important information such as unique skills and Noble Phantasms has not yet been recorded. Even so, some degree of judgment can still be made based on attributes.

After reading the last file, Lion Jie's hand suddenly paused, and he remembered the information he got from Belphebon.

"Wait, you just said that Lancer failed to meet up? But -"

"You mean the predictable hero?"

Lion Jie nodded in agreement: "This is Romania, and it is impossible not to bring out the heroes of this country, but shouldn't that one, Grand Duke Vlad III of Wallachia, be the lancer?"

"Indeed, the most suitable one for him should be the Lancer. There are almost no anecdotes related to swords and bows. The possibility of Assassin and Caster is also zero. With the popularity correction, Rider has all attributes on the low side, and there is no need to lose his mind. The price is exchanged for attribute improvement.”

Shirou scratched his head in distress.

"However, I can confirm that he is not a lancer, so the answer can only be a berserker. If you look at his attributes, even with the improvement of madness, it is too exaggerated. Only the highest-profile and high-level madness can add up. To this extent.”

As Shirou said, the black berserker's attributes are terrifying. Except for luck, nothing is lower than A, and strength and durability are likely to reach EX.

"However, according to the Magic Association, the suspected servant of Vlad III does not seem to have fallen into madness, and his speech and behavior are no different from ordinary people."

As of now, Shishijie has no intention of keeping the Magic Association's secrets. Anyway, with the church's ability, he can collect information that the cleaning team was almost completely wiped out by the servants.

"Then there are only two explanations. First, things must be reversed at the extreme. Being extremely crazy may lead to calmness. Our berserker has a madness level of EX and can also communicate, but it is limited to talking. We have no way to understand his thoughts, and neither does he. There is a way to understand us. With such a precedent, it is not impossible for Vlad III to go further."

"A rational madman... I always find it a bit hard to imagine." Lion Jie's face twitched, making the already ferocious Scar look even more terrifying, "What about the second one?"

"Regional factors, although he is very famous as the prototype of Count Dracula, in Romania, after all, what is emphasized is his side as a hero. In this land, even if he is crazy, he will not lose the magnanimity of a lord .The so-called superior person is probably like this."

"It makes sense. Then if the two explanations overlap -" At the end of the sentence, Shishi Jie himself was a little unable to continue.

Shirou rubbed his temples and continued: "Then we may have to face a Vlad III who is more powerful than ever. A crazy lord with the power of a top servant and absolute sanity."

"This is really——" Shishi Jie couldn't help but shuddered, "Forget it, let's not talk about such uncertain things, let's talk about our followers."

"Let me talk about the conclusion first. The enemy is very strong, and we are not weak either. Mr. Shizuo's Saber is very good, and it can be concluded that Lancer and Rider also have the strength to compete with Vlad III."

"--Ah."

The Magic Association seems to have discovered a rather powerful heroic spirit. Since Shirou asserts this, it must be that he has considerable popularity, or his strength exceeds his popularity.

"Could it be that, father..."

Saber whispered quietly in a voice that no one else could hear.

"Don't worry, it's impossible...probably."

——I really hope so. If that happens, it goes without saying that internal strife will break out before the battle. (Actually, your father is already here, opposite.)

"Anyway, Mr. Shishi Jie summoned Saber, and the seven of them have arrived. So - can you please tell me Saber's real name?"

After hearing Shirou's words, Assassin burst out laughing. At the same time, the atmosphere around Saber also showed discordant hostility. Shirou hinted, "Tell me your real name," and seemed very annoyed by Assassin's laughter.

"Ah...does it have to be made public no matter what?"

"Huh. I hope you can give me a reason not to disclose it. This time, we are companions. Since we entrust each other's lives, wouldn't it be better to disclose the real name in advance?"

"But... even if we entrust our lives to each other... our true names..."

After all, the true name is the most important information about a Servant. It cannot be made public at all. Once you know your true name, you can definitely know what the Noble Phantasm is, what its weaknesses are, and conversely, you can even know what it is good at.

"And since we have launched a common front, you must explain what kind of Noble Phantasm you are using. But then, there is a high probability that the true name will be revealed. In the end, it is the same."

Shirou's suggestion makes sense. Despite this, Shishi Jie still felt strongly that starting a common front with this Shirou and——Assassin was an extremely terrible act.

He felt an inexplicable chill. This is the smell of conspiracy that never exists in the heat of the battlefield.

Shishi Jie turned his back to the two of them, and came face to face with Saber for telepathy. This level of communication is possible between the master and the servants without making any sound.

"Master. What are you going to do? By the way, I don't want to do it."

"I agree with you. But what's the reason?"

"……intuition."

"Your intuition is really accurate. Okay, it's decided."

Shishi Jie picked up the file and walked toward the middle hall with his back to the two of them.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Ah, we can go wherever we want. Fortunately, my servant is Saber. It's okay to go alone."

Known as the best Saber among the seven Servants. In terms of attributes and attack power, no matter which Servant you fight, the probability of defeat is very low.

"Hmm, so you don't plan to take a common front?"

"Aren't the six servants here? Besides, you also said that the Lancer and Rider are quite good, so there should be no problem."

"It's really embarrassing...but you're right."

Shirou seemed a little embarrassed and scratched his head. Assassin raised his eyes slightly. There was a hint of displeasure in his expression.

"——So, do you mean that you don't need our help? We can collect all the information about Tulifas."

"No way. No matter how much information I want, I want it. If necessary, I can spend money to buy it."

These words made Assassin's eyes widen. Shirou stopped her gently.

"I will provide you with information regularly. I originally wanted to fight side by side with you, what a pity."

Shirou murmured sadly.

As soon as Shishijie left the church, he immediately transformed Saber into a spirit. He walked straight to the stairs, eager to leave here as soon as possible.

"Saber, are there any pursuers behind you?"

"No, but Assassin may turn into a spirit and follow us. Don't take it lightly. If she dares to attack, I will kill her instantly."

"But it's daytime now, I think it's unlikely... I have a very bad feeling, so I'd better leave here early."

"Can I say one thing?"

"Say it."

"I feel the same aura from the Red Assassin as my mother. It would be okay if she betrayed us. But I always feel that I might not be aware of the betrayal until the end, and end up with my body exposed in the wilderness. "

Mordred’s mother—it goes without saying that she is King Arthur’s biological sister, Morgan. She is a magician on par with Merlin. It was she who instigated Mordred to usurp the throne and overthrow King Arthur.

Since Saber said she was "just like her mother," she must be an unfathomable conspirator.

"Anyway, it's better not to get close to Assassin."

After the lion robbed the stairs, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked Saber to confirm that there was no scent of servants around.

"Master, compare to this."

"What?"

"Well, how should I put it? My master will not flatter traitors, which makes me feel at ease. Just a little bit? I just feel a little bit at ease."

She said the words of praise with a slight hesitation. At least there are many benefits to rejecting their suggestions. Of course, the premise is that the servant trusts his master.

"Thank you very much. Next, we are going to Tulifas. In the worst case scenario, we may have to become enemies with all the Servants. Is that okay?"

After listening to Shishi Jie's words, Saber announced loudly:

"Leave it to me, master. I, Mordred, am the only knight who can surpass my father!"

So that's it, Lion Tribulation secretly understood. When a servant is summoned, it seems that he will actually choose a heroic spirit that is spiritually similar to the summoner. She is indeed very similar to myself.

——Especially the overconfidence aspect.
