There was a reason why the people from the Yggdmillennia clan showed such a strong hostility toward Sieg and Astolfo, and the reason was no other because Astolfo's master had changed.
When the master met another master on the Holy Grail War, they would feel a reaction.
Therefore, when Haru saw Sieg, he felt the hand where his Command Spells was located, giving him a tingling sensation, telling him that Sieg was a master.
If Haru could notice it, then Fiore also noticed too.
In this way, everyone could guess that the one that Sieg had made a contract with should be Astolfo, since there was no other servant besides Astolfo in this place, and now, Astolfo's master had changed, Celenika, who was the original master of Astolfo, everyone could guess easily what had happened to her.
Haru didn't think too much about Celenike, even though he had to admit that woman was a bit beautiful, but her perverted tendency to do cruel things to anyone was too much. If she was alive, he was sure that she would do a cruel thing to both Astolfo and Sieg, let alone letting both of them have a master and a servant relationship.
The one in front of them was Astolfo and Sieg, there was no Celenike, then the conclusion was easily drawn from all of that.
It was also because of this situation that Sieg was silent since he couldn't say anything.
It was because everyone knew that Celenike was dead, that everyone in the Yggdmillennia clan would think that both Sieg and Astolfo were the ones who killed her, thus exchanging the contracts.
Under such a situation, Sieg and Astolfo returned without shame, even bringing a group of homunculus without their permission, if the Yggdmillennia clan's condition wasn't so weak at this moment, they would kill both Sieg and Astolfo directly.
In this situation, of course, Astolfo quickly told them what was happening.
"The one who killed my former master wasn't Sieg, and it was definitely not me, but the Assassin of Black!"
Astolfo kept repeating those words, telling them what was truly happening.
"When we met each other, the Assassin of Black suddenly appeared and killed my former master, and poached her heart. Only then do I make a contract with a new master, otherwise, my former master will have Command Spells, tell me how can I kill her?"
Astolfo said, however, the Yggdmillennia clan didn't believe Astolfos's words at all.
"Based on your statement, if the Assassin of Black appeared, how could you be all right?" Caules analyzed the situation with logic and said, "At that time, if Celenike had been killed, then Rider would have been killed too. Without the magic power supply from your master, with the power of Assassin, it should be easy to kill the two of you, right?"
Originally, Celenika cut off the supply of magic power of Astolfo because of his defect and was unable to obtain magic power.
Even if Astolfo had an "Independent Action" skill, it was only B-Rank, even if he wanted to, he could only move freely for two days at most without the supply of Magic Power.
In such a situation, when encountering Celenike, Astolfo should be at his limit, at least, he should have consumed most of his magic enemy, and his combat ability would be affected.
In addition, Astolfo's strength wasn't strong. If it was further weakened, even the Assassin class of servants should be able to kill Astolfo from a frontal attack, right?
It was also absolutely impossible for Astolfo to survive in front of Assassin without making a contract with Sieg beforehand.
Of course, this analysis was only on a theoretical basis and there was a lack of understanding of reality and the situation.
Perhaps it was due to various factors that eventually led Astolfo to be able to stop Assassin in frontal attack, without receiving the supply of Magic Power from Celenike, however, such a thing was very difficult to explain.
Since it was difficult to explain then it was impossible to convince the Yggdmillennia clan.
Everyone then stared at Astolfo, wondering what kind of excuses he would come out with next.
"At that time... At that time, the Assassin of Black seemed to be unable to kill us for some reason!"
Astolfo was so anxious that he was about to cry when everyone was bullying him.
"I know this clearly, but why can't I remember what happened at that time?!"
These words were also the reason why Astolfo's words were unconvincing.
Who could accept such a statement?
Astolfo might not have common sense, but it didn't mean that he had turned stupid and lost all of his memory, so why couldn't he remember what happened at that time?
In everyone's eyes, they thought that Astolfo couldn't find an excuse.
However, at this moment, Haru said, "Isn't it obvious that you can't remember what happened?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Astolfo looked at Haru curiously.
"The Assassin of Black has a skill named "Information Erasure", it is the ability to remove information regarding the Servant's True Name, ability, and appearance from the records and memories of all eyewitnesses, including the opponent, follows the conclusion of an engagement."
Haru looked at Fiore and said, "Fiore should know it too, do you remember the fog when you were in Bucharest?"
"Fog?" Fiore was stumped and taken aback.
Seeing this, everyone understood that Fiore had forgotten what had happened to Bucharest.
Because that fog was Jack the Ripper's Noble Phantasm was part of intelligence, and it was also within the scope of "Information Erasure", his mental strength was very strong, and even if Jack the Ripper's ability was strong, it only had a minimum effect on him.
Well, it was also because of this "Information Erasure" that Jack the Ripper was a mysterious servant whose gender was still in mystery.
"But I didn't know the reason why the Assassin of Black didn't kill these two people." Haru didn't really understand since in his mind, Jack the Ripper would kill anyone as long as someone appeared in front of her. "There might be a reason, but I am sure, what is it?" Well, it wasn't really his problem, so he didn't care much.
However, if Haru had to guess then it was probably because either Jeanne or Saber of Red was nearby so Jack the Ripper decided to retreat, especially after killing Celenike who was Astolfo's master.
In Jack the Ripper's mind, probably, if Celenike was killed, then it was only a time before Astolfo was defeated, however, she would have never thought that Astolfo would make a contract with Sieg, who was a homunculus, which was an error on her decision.
Naturally, Astolfo didn't know about that.
"In short, we didn't kill my former master." Astolfo still insisted and said, "We only remember that the Assassin of Black killed her, and we don't know the rest."
It was such an unconvincing and untrustworthy statement, but Astolfo raised his head and said it proudly.
Sieg then said, "I created a contract with the Rider because I didn't want to see him disappear because he lost his master." He looked at Fiore and said in form expression, "Our reason to come back is only one reason that is to free my companionships."
Everyone who heard those words understood instantly that the reason Sieg came back was to liberate the homunculus that was used as a tool by the people of Yggdmillennia can.
That's it.
However, this made the Magus of the Yggdmillennia clan full of anger, and those homunculi felt completely at loss.
The atmosphere became tense once again.
Haru and Jeanne moved back slightly, looked at each other in a tacit understanding, and then chose to keep their mouths shut.
After all, this was the problem of the Yggdmillennia clan and it had nothing to do with both Haru and Jeanne.
