After the fight with Ruler I was the winner and returned to the town of Trifas, but before entering, I hid in a corner and solved the transformation before going in, and since I am in Europe, the weather here is quite cold. and the sun wasn't fully up yet, and quite deserted even though it was 7am, I went to the inn that I had rented with my 2 Servants, then entered the room that had just opened. Inside there were two pairs of eyes staring at me.
"Oh, you're back? Master!"
"It looks like you sneaked out on us last night? Tell me, Master?"
Both of them while questioning me, at the same time walked up to me and put their hands on my shoulders, with a rather angry expression though not much.
"Can you tell us where you went last night?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just going out to watch the war."
"Oh so you're going out to fight them alone? You are brave too, dare to sneak out and fight them."
The more they talked, the more angry they got, and I just stood there and answered them.
"I didn't sneak away from the two of you to fight alone, but I wanted to silently observe the battle there to understand the situation and forces, but before I got there, I met Ruler."
"Then why don't you ask one of us to come along? What could possibly stand still but their Master or Servant, even the Ruler, would go alone Master?"
Artoria asked questions that if I did it would be better but why didn't I, after a moment of silence I could only tell her.
"Not right now, you two shouldn't appear and absolutely shouldn't."
"Why? Master??."
"What do you mean? When you say we haven't gone to battle yet??."
The two girls were surprised at my confusing answer here and there, two suspicious eyes looked straight into my eyes, but I only responded to them with one sentence.
"When the time comes, you'll understand, I'm going to cook now you two sit at the table and wait."
"We're not done talking yet...!!"
I purposely ignored them and went to the kitchen to cook, and for both of them, after seeing my action, they could only sit at the table and wait for me.
"Hey, did you see the Master acting suspiciously?"
"You're right, from the time he was summoned until now, he has had many mysteries, even the MST organization is less secret than him! The more I see the Master, the more mysterious it is."
Artoria agrees with Jeanne's point of view when she says Khanh Minh has too many mysteries, even though he is her Master, since summoning until now, apart from his name and nationality, she doesn't know anything. about him.
"For now, let's just ignore the mystery and like to act alone, I only have to do when it's time for me to act on his words."
While talking, Jeanne immediately turned to look at Khanh Minh, seeing that he was still cooking, she immediately approached Artoria's ear and whispered to her secretly, so as not to let Khanh Minh hear.
"From now on you and I will watch him, to see what he wants to hide from us."
Then she sat back down in her chair and both of them were silent, after a while Khanh Minh finished cooking breakfast and he put the dishes down and the three of them sat down to eat, at that time in a house far away. Not too far from town there was a young man with silver brown hair wearing a black shirt, black pants and a white sleeveless shirt overall quite elegant and that was Sieg.
He was eating and drinking very enthusiastically after a tiring night of wandering here, opposite him was a young man with ash-blond hair that reached shoulder length from the temples to the back of his head, tied back, and blue eyes, wearing a white jacket with a black hood and a dark blue undershirt, black pants and black gloves that reach up to the elbows and some other pattern on his outfit, and he is Anos .
"Well, it seems like you haven't eaten in a while? You seem to be very active in eating."
"It's almost the same thing! And thanks for letting me be here to tell the truth, I don't know how to repay you?"
"There's no need because when you see someone in trouble, it's natural to help."
A happy and relaxed smile appeared on Anos's face, and Sieg saw the drawing on that person's face and could only bow his head in sincere thanks.
"Thank you, you're so kind."
"It's nothing! Well I've got some work to do in my room now, if you're done you can put the dishes in the sink over there, and sweep the yard for me."
"I'll do it when I'm done eating, and also repay the favor."
"Then I'll go! Also, don't bother me in my room, if there's anything, just knock on the door and wait for me to come out."
"Yes!."
He got up from the dining table, and started walking up the steps leaving Sieg still eating breakfast with a cheerful expression on his face, as he walked all the way up the stairs and into his room next door. left no more than 10 steps away, inside at first glance was an ordinary room with nothing special, but hidden in it was a secret agency leading to a secret room.
He went to the hidden bed near the foot of the bed, the bed was pushed up to reveal the path he entered as he walked down the cellar, a light suddenly flashed at the bottom of the stairs as he walked there was a the door he opened, inside that in the middle of the room was a medium sized wooden table on which were papers and some strange things, on the walls were electric light bulbs that were lit. room.
"Okay, you show up."
"Yes."
Out of nowhere appeared a man with brown hair reaching to the nape of his neck, and a beard and mustache of the same color, dressed in medieval European clothing but green, and on the left side. He wears a black cape fixed with a string that is connected to the right collar part where the quill pen is, wears a brown belt and large orange bow, and long black pants.
After the appearance of Caster making some rather ostentatious movements, along with the tone and words of a poet to greet the Master, Anos "hmm" to Caster to make him stop and then go straight to the main topic.
"How's it going with that Akumasa Shirou's place, Caster?"
"Yes, everything is still going well! As you said and told me, I am still acting according to your drama in the most honest way!"
"Well, you do it like that, when I give you an order, you will act, remember to be natural and mainly observe so that they don't find out."
"Yes...but what are you planning to do with that boy, Master?"
Out of curiosity Caster posed a question to the Master about why he was helping a Homoncolus, for what purpose, since he knew his Master was not a kind person, he asked and As for Anos, he just laughed and waxed in a cheerful but very sinister voice.
"I just wanted to put him in my play."
"Is that so! Then I get it now I'm going to continue following this play of yours, I'm sure it will be interesting if it turns into a novel."
His body gradually disappeared and disappeared into the void, leaving Anos alone in the middle of the room when Caster had just left, Anos went to the table in the center of the room where there was a black conference room.
"Now I have to use this."
A sly smile appeared on his face as the box's chin lifted.
"But if you want to bring him into town, you have to ask that kid Sieg, it's going to be fun for sure."
In another town not far from Trifas there was a broken-faced man with three scars on his right forehead and black sunglasses, along with a rather young-looking and tomboy-looking girl with blonde hair tied in a ponytail. green, she wears a red jacket with a dark blue and white top underneath that only covers her chest, revealing her belly, and wears a pair of short jeans.
While the right girl is eating, the man is listening to the news of a serial murder, AKA caused by Jack The Ripper and while still listening to the news, a call comes in, the caller is El melloi II.
"Have you heard of the mass murder SiSigou?"
"Um, a little bit."
"Then it's easier to talk about! The one killed is the turn of the magician's guild."
"I got it."
"The mages sent to Sighisoara were all killed, probably by the Servant."
"I wonder why it's not Trifas but here?...Hmph eat souls?."
"Well, even though he's a Servant, he's still a demon, no matter how great a mana is, there must be a source.@
"So what did priest Shirou say?"
"He said he had gathered the Servants and none of them ate souls."
"If the Yggdmilennia race acts on their own territory, it's a bit too ostentatious,...a third party?."
While still on the phone, the announcement of the serial killer's news was further elaborated on the radio.
"There have been 10 victims in this massacre, and the police are currently investigating."
"Even this goes against the doctrine of the mages guild who hide their identities."
"I see, so this is my job."
At the same time, at the inn next to Khanh Minh's room, there was a purple-eyed blonde girl lying in the room hugging a pillow.
"How could he do such a thing!?."
Flashbacks of the previous battle with Khanh Minh flashed through her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became and blushed.
"I don't want to think about it anymore my god!"
After a while she became calmer but still not completely, she silently touched the cheek where he had kissed her.
"Why did he do that? What did he want to kiss me on the cheek after all...but during the last battle his fighting style was that of a modern-day martial artist, for the first time. I have to face the modern martial arts that have made me fight so hard that I can't be underestimated, even though he sometimes attacks me with his tricks."
She was silent again and looked up at the ceiling, thinking a little.
"During that battle it felt like he didn't want to kill me? And that strange magic too it felt like I was attacking a wall of air? And his face too..."
The image of his face showed a confident and gentle smile, her face became dreamy and slightly flushed, but then she noticed it and her face turned red and turned back again. pillow.
"I'm like that again! It's impossible to forgive him! I'll definitely deal with him once and for all...but is he the fisher?"
While she was wondering, there was an argument in the next room, she curiously looked at the wall where the sound was coming from, or rather, the room next door.
"What's wrong with that side? Do they quarrel? Why do I keep hearing my voice over there like I'm there? But never mind, it's their business anyway, and I guess it's because they sound like me that I should go out for a walk now."
Then she got up and changed and went out of the inn to walk around this town, she looked at the shops and the flow of people calmly as she walked, and while walking she saw a cafe that had just opened and entered it.
"Hello, what would you like to order?"
"Give me a cup of black tea."
"For me it's a shaved iced Chocolate."
"Huh!?."
She turned her head to the voice that had just ordered, partly because they were both ordering at the same time, and partly because the voice was familiar to her, and who it was.
"Is it you! Khanh Minh!"
"It's her again! Ruler."
