She was still carrying the black shield in her hand.
The knight with the double-horned helmet seemed to be staring at the shield, causing Mash to frown slightly.
"...Trust them, I've thought it through." Ritsuka thought for a moment and nodded.
Both the knight and the muscular man breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they could trust them.
As they climbed the stairs, Mashu couldn't help but ask, "You must have had a third Servant there, right? Is it alright that he didn't come back?"
"It's alright, that guy is quite Gold, it's okay, I believe he'll be back on his own in a little while." The blonde girl opened the door to a room on the second floor. "Come in."
A male voice rang out from inside the room: "Is that Kintoki back?"
"Oh! Boss."
Upon entering the room on the second floor, everyone was surprised to find that the space was very large, and a young man was sitting on the sofa reading a book.
He looked at the Chaldea members who had entered the room, smiled, and put the book in his hand aside: "It seems that Manrio's information was correct. You have brought back new companions, Kintoki and Mordred."
Lawrence: !?
“It’s alright. We’ve just formed an alliance, so it’s only right that we recruit more companions.” The knight servant, whom the young man called Mordred, removed her armor. “However, their situation is a bit special. Jekyll, you should ask them yourself.”
“Okay, sure.” Jekyll nodded. “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Henry Jekyll. I’m a person who is currently in a slightly troubled situation. I noticed something strange about London and formed this alliance with Sakata Kintoki, who saved me on the street, to fight against this strange London.”
“My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I came here to resolve this singularity as well.” Ritsuka extended her hand and shook hands with Jekyll.
“It seems we’ll stand together through thick and thin,” Jekyll smiled.
“We’ve just arrived in London. Can we exchange some information? We have a Master and four Servants with us, as you can see. What about your side?”
"On our side, we have three Servants, but my situation is a bit special..."
Ritsuka had already started talking to Jekyll, while Lawrence moved closer to the blonde female knight named Mordred: "Hello, esteemed knight lady."
"Greetings, madam." Mordred appeared more approachable and less reserved compared to the other knights.
“My name is Lawrence Anno Falgao, a Caster Servant. May I ask you something?” Lawrence scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed. “It’s about… your third Servant, that one named Manrio…”
......
And another place, an unknown location.
"So, why was I chosen?" An elegant man with neatly combed hair sat on a sofa that appeared out of nowhere, crossed his legs, and looked at the "person" opposite him.
"Because you are the most suitable, aren't you?" The man smiled. "Although you have humanity, you are undoubtedly the most rational one. Unlike others, you did not let either side gain the upper hand."
"This is also a product of the combination of the two. The real me is actually more humane than rational." The elegant man smiled. "But I didn't expect that my investigation would uncover something truly remarkable."
"Doesn't this just prove you're a famous detective?"
Controlling the powerful and the ruthless. "Sherlock Holmes".

Chapter 706 The Strange Henry Jekyll
“Mordred, Sakata Kintoki, and Manrio, these three Servants were all summoned to this Singularity on their own.” Henry Jekyll sat on the sofa, looking seriously at Fujimaru Ritsuka opposite him. “The reason for the formation of this Singularity is very strange, and I believe you have also experienced it.”
“Those mirrors, right?” Ritsuka nodded. “Being able to mass-produce the kind of phantoms that Miss Lawrence mentioned is indeed very troublesome.”
"Oh? So you already knew what those things were. It seems there are knowledgeable people in your group. This alliance meeting was very enjoyable." Jekyll nodded, indicating that he understood. "Those mirrors, and the phantoms that appeared in them, are a kind of large-scale magic I didn't know before. I speculate that that's the cause of the anomaly, uh—"
While chatting with Fujimaru Ritsuka, Jekyll suddenly clutched his forehead in pain.
“Mr. Jekyll?” Ritsuka frowned slightly as she looked at Jekyll. “Are you feeling unwell?”
"No... I, I'm fine..." It took Jekyll a while to regain his composure. He gave a bitter laugh, his face covered in cold sweat. "I'm sorry, Master from Chaldea, you must be sorry for making me laugh. As you can see... I'm having some troubles right now..."
“If it’s a physical issue, I can have Miss Lawrence from here take a look at you. She’s a wonderful doctor servant!” Fujimaru Ritsuka turned her head and glanced around, only to find that Lawrence was nowhere to be seen. She looked at Camilla in disbelief, “Huh? Where is Miss Lawrence?”
Camilla pointed behind her speechlessly: "They went outside the room with that little knight girl. What, are you interested in their conversation?"
"Oh right, Mashu went out with them too."
Simonetta pouted, looking aggrieved. Camilla's lips twitched, and she quickly went to comfort her.
The character 强牺 is pronounced xi. This little girl has little sense of reason. Apart from being close to Lawrence, her "family" from her previous life, and her Master Fujimaru Ritsuka, only Carmilla, who is also a vampire, can get close to and comfort her.
"I'll go check." Ritsuka gave Jekyll an apologetic look and went out.
Lawrence was talking to Mordred, and Mash was standing to the side.
When she heard the name Mordred, she was reminded of what had happened before.
Previously... at Fuyuki Singularity F, there was a mad dragon beneath the feet of the pitch-black King Arthur.
“…That was indeed me, or rather, a side of me.” Mordred’s eyes involuntarily filled with pain. “That…that was me who was driven mad, bringing about the disaster that destroyed our country, the disaster that destroyed my beloved father.”
She will be sad, angry, and in pain, but she will never use these feelings to avoid acknowledging her mistakes.
Because she did not go down the wrong path; she was who she was, Mordred, the last of the Knights of the Round Table, the son of King Arthur, a knight loyal to the king.
Looking at Mordred in pain, Mashu felt a pang of sadness herself, and her nose stung with tears.
Mordred sighed: "I'm sorry if I've caused you any trouble, but I still have to fight to solve this anomaly in human history, so I can't apologize right now."
“It’s alright. Being summoned from different perspectives is like having two sides of a person, or even two people in some ways. We can’t expect you to pay the price for your Berserker self, that’s not our goal, nor is that what we want to say.” Lawrence shook his head. “I summoned you mainly because of… Manrio.”
"Mash should know, right? Manrio is mine..."
"If I remember correctly, Manlio Ferdinand Springer should be your student, Miss Lawrence, and I think he's your only student." Mashu recalled, her knowledge vast and extensive.
Lawrence nodded awkwardly.
“Are you Manrio’s teacher? I see.” Mordred smiled knowingly. “It looks like this time fighting side by side will be very enjoyable.” She extended her hand.
Lawrence nodded, took Mordred's hand, and shook it.
Fujimaru Ritsuka came out, saw Lawrence standing in the corridor, and waved: "Miss Lawrence?"
"Master." Lawrence, Mash, and Mordred nodded and walked over. "What's wrong?"
“Mr. Jekyll might be feeling unwell, and I’d like you to take a look at him.” Ritsuka winked at Lawrence.
Lawrence couldn't help but chuckle.
However, this is also good. Our side has only just arrived at this singularity, and our understanding of the intelligence is insufficient, and our combat strength is also average. Being able to cooperate and form an alliance with the Servants who have already established themselves here is indeed a very good choice, and mutual assistance is a good way to increase mutual trust.
"Is it about Jekyll?" Mordred came over as well. "He's acting strangely, but it's not due to any physical reason. However, it would be good for you to take a look."
Lawrence nodded, but after chatting with Jekyll for a while, his brows furrowed.
"You mean...you sometimes feel like you're not yourself?"
“Yes, this feeling… it started some time after the magic mirror and the thick fog appeared in London. It’s like… there’s another me inside my body, fighting for control.” Jekyll’s face was filled with fear. “I can feel… that me, that person inside my body. He’s terrifying, manic, and evil! So I absolutely cannot let him out…”
Lawrence sighed.
"First, let me confirm one thing, Mr. Jekyll, you... you're not a Servant, are you?"
“No… I’m a human who has always lived in this city.” Henry Jekyll shook his head. “That’s why I want this city to return to normal more than anyone else. I only learned about Heroic Spirits, Phantom Spirits, and magic after Kintoki saved me from the clutches of a Phantom Spirit when I was on the verge of madness. But, uh—”
As he spoke, Jekyll clutched his head in discomfort again.
Lawrence glanced at Sakata Kintoki and Mordred, who were standing to the side looking worried, gave them a look, and then pulled Fujimaru Ritsuka out.
Sakata Kintoki and Mordred exchanged a glance and then followed him out.
“You two must be completely clueless about Jekyll’s situation too,” Lawrence said, looking at the two of them.
“I am indeed puzzled.” Mordred nodded.
"Control the big and control the small." "It's a very strange situation, I've never seen anything like it before." Jin Shi said casually, crossing his arms.
“I’ve figured out what’s going on with him, but… it might be a little hard to understand.”
Click.
The sound of a door closing downstairs drew the attention of the people who were listening to Lawrence speak.
------------
Chapter 707 The Reunion of Lawrence and Manlio
Hearing the clicking sound, Lawrence's heart also skipped a beat.
"It must be that kid Manrio who's back." Sakata Kintoki chuckled and ran down to greet him.
Lawrence became unusually uneasy and felt uncomfortable all over.
Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally knew why Lawrence was acting awkwardly, and giggled quietly to herself, which Lawrence then noticed.
"Ritsuka, stop laughing..." Lawrence was already feeling uncomfortable, and hearing Ritsuka's laughter made him even more ashamed.
This is Zhang Si. Although he did choose to sacrifice his own appearance and appear in the world as his wife so that the world would remember his beloved, what if he encountered someone he knew...?
Even Lawrence gets shy.
Of course, Leonardo da Vinci, a monster-level acquaintance, is an exception; she is no longer a normal human being (from Lawrence's sharp commentary).
The sound of footsteps going upstairs could be heard, and Manlio's familiar face came into Lawrence's view.
When Manrio saw Lawrence, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Huh, Harley Quinn!?"
"Wait! Wait a minute, Manrio! Don't come any closer!" Lawrence reached out and stopped Manrio, taking two steps back on his own. "I... I'm your teacher!"
"Huh?" Manrio was dumbfounded.
The three people next to me: This melon smells delicious.
"I mean, I'm your teacher, Lawrence, not your sister Harley!" Lawrence blushed and waved her hands haphazardly, trying to explain her situation.
“…Huh?” Manrio was completely baffled by Lawrence.
Ah, the air is thick with awkwardness.
"It's rare to see Miss Lawrence like this. I never knew the usually serious Miss Lawrence could blush." Fujimaru Ritsuka was very satisfied and took out her small camera to take a picture of the blushing Lawrence. "I've learned something new."
"Master, you—" Lawrence felt his blood pressure was a little high, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Kintoki was a little confused and nudged Mordred with his elbow: "What's going on?"
