In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"I didn't expect you to still be awake, Master of Chaldea." Manrio said with an "innocent" smile. "May I come in?"

“You’re already inside…” Fujimaru Ritsuka rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, “Is there something you need, Mr. Manlio?”

"I have something to take care of." Manrio smiled a little embarrassedly. "Then, I'll take my leave."

“Miss Fujimaru Ritsuka, when did you become the teacher’s Master?” Manrio sat down opposite Fujimaru Ritsuka and sighed. “I can see that she is in a very bad state, really bad.”

"I... I just wanted to ask, I really just wanted to ask."

Upon hearing Manlio's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka put down the map in her hand.

“Yes, we… have all seen Miss Lawrence’s condition.” Fujimaru Ritsuka’s expression fell. “This condition probably started at the end of the last singularity.”

"At that time, the Servant said something to Miss Lawrence, and after Miss Lawrence returned, she began to investigate a certain matter on her own. Later, another Servant from Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci, also joined Miss Lawrence's investigation."

"Wait, Leonardo? That guy was also summoned by Chaldea?" Manrio's eyes widened and he blinked.

“Oh, right… Mr. Manlio should also know Leonardo da Vinci, but it seems that Leonardo da Vinci also…” Fujimaru Ritsuka’s lips twitched, and she looked Manlio up and down again.

Yes, he's a very handsome boy. Actually, you could easily mistake him for a girl; the only difference would be the style of his clothes.

Do all the Servants from your Renaissance era like this style?

"You mean, Leonardo has become a woman too? Isn't he unmarried?" Manrio was completely bewildered, looking utterly shocked and confused.

“He… has turned into Mona Lisa.” Fujimaru Ritsuka’s expression was strange.

"...As expected of him." Manrio sighed, then shook his head. "What was that Servant's name, and what did he say to the teacher?"

“Oshenanos, the great hero who slew the gods in Greece.” Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned, her face full of confusion. “To be honest… I don’t understand why Oshenanos and Miss Lawrence would have a private conversation.”

"And back during the Rome Singularity, Miss Lawrence seemed to be quite familiar with our Meiji Restoration hero, Samura Anno."

"And back in the French Singularity, Miss Lawrence also mentioned that she was acquainted with Anno, the British knight..."

"This..." Manrio asked, "What are you talking about?"

“But aren’t these names a bit too heavily influenced by the pronunciation of ‘anno’?” Manlio casually remarked.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "I've actually been wanting to ask Miss Lawrence about this, but she's locked herself up ever since we came back from the last singularity."

“When the location of this singularity was completed, Miss Lawrence’s mental state was already very poor. Leonardo da Vinci had said that he wanted to come to this singularity in Miss Lawrence’s place, but Miss Lawrence still chose to come in person.” Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed.

Manrio sat opposite Fujimaru Ritsuka and smiled, "I can tell you care about your teacher."

“Miss Lawrence cares about me a lot.” Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn’t help but smile gently. “She gives me the feeling of being like my mother. Well… it’s a bit strange to say that, but during the previous Singularity raid, if it weren’t for Miss Lawrence, we would have suffered heavy losses.”

"Well, I actually sensed it during the day. These days, teachers... probably aren't just teachers anymore." A sigh escaped Manlio's eyes.

“Mr. Manrio?” Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Ah, sorry." Manrio waved his hands repeatedly. "I was a bit out of line. What I meant was that teachers nowadays are probably influenced by external factors. Their behavior and mentality are somewhat similar to his wife, Harley Quinn, and they are quite different from real teachers."

“Is that so? Miss Lawrence did say that…” Fujimaru Ritsuka rested her chin on her hand. “I really envy the relationship between Mr. Lawrence and Miss Harley.”

“Yes, they are the most well-matched and outstanding couple I have ever met.” Manrio nodded in deep agreement. “Then, Master of Chaldea, do you know what kind of person the real Mr. Lawrence is?”

"What kind of person is he?" Fujimaru Ritsuka became interested.

“I basically took care of his teachers in their later years, so you could describe him like this…” Manrio blinked, “He was a stubborn old man who wouldn’t listen to reason!”

"Huh? Is that really how it is?"

“Yes,” Manrio said with a nostalgic look in his eyes. “He was the kind of person who loved to be difficult.”

"He doesn't argue with others; he argues with himself."

“For him, not understanding is suffering, and understanding is happiness, but he just likes to make things difficult for himself. He’s always stuck in his own mind, and no one can persuade him. He’s like a donkey, you can’t pull him back.” Manrio said with a laugh.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka, sitting opposite him, could vaguely see a hint of tears hidden in Manrio's smile.

“Not just him, his son is the same. Both of them like to get stuck on things, sometimes for a lifetime. If they can’t get over it, they can never get over it.” Manrio continued speaking as if he didn’t notice Fujimaru Ritsuka, as if he were talking to himself.

“But I won’t say anything about him either.” Manlio held up a finger and wagged it. “Why?”

"Why?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked tactfully.

"Because he was getting old then, and that was all he had left. Wouldn't it be cruel to pull him away from that one thing?"

"The teacher is too pure-hearted. He does whatever he wants, so he can't live a good life. Pure-hearted people can't live a good life."

Manlio's smile had vanished, replaced by loneliness and sorrow.

So... so...

"I witnessed his passing..."

"I will never forget it."

"So, to see you again, teacher, I—" He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and gave her a big smile, "I'm really, really happy!"

Chapter 710 The reconnaissance begins, the troops split into two groups

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't say anything, but just looked at Manrio, who seemed both happy and sad, and smiled as well.

He wiped away the last trace of tears from his face with his own hands.

"Hmm...actually, I feel that in terms of pure talent, you might not be much worse than the teacher." Manrio had completely changed his expression, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka with interest.

"Huh? Why do you say that?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly taken aback, pointing at herself in surprise.

“You are... saving the world right now.” Manrio leaned forward, his eyes slightly narrowed. Although he looked like a child, Fujimaru Ritsuka thought his smile was cunning.

"...I..." Overwhelmed with shame, Fujimaru Ritsuka instinctively wanted to deny it, but after a moment's hesitation, she realized...

It felt like I was really saving the world.

“See? You’re so pure.” Manlio lay back down, leaning against the back of the sofa. “Your mindset hasn’t changed yet. You’ve broken down saving the world into conquering singularities and completing small, phased goals. That’s pretty good, pretty good.”

"But have you ever thought about... how you'll face this world after you've saved it?"

"Or, after you save the world, an even greater disaster occurs. Will you once again step forward and use your tender shoulders to take on this heavy burden?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely stunned and had no idea how to answer Manrio.

"You should find the answer yourself, Master of Chaldea." Manrio smiled and turned the page. "Don't think too much about this question. I came here just to talk to you about other things. We've finished talking about the teacher, let's talk about something else."

“When I was first summoned to this singularity, I encountered a detective,” Manrio pondered. “But he seemed a bit dazed, though he was very strong in combat. He was probably… a Servant?”

"I don't have the same keen senses as my teacher, so I can't really identify that person's true identity. But one thing I'm very clear about is that he's very strong and calls himself a detective."

“I entrusted him with a task. I entrusted him to investigate the truth behind this burning of humanity.”

"...Could it be...Sherlock Holmes?" Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled that this morning, when they were still in Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci had mentioned that Holmes seemed to live in this era, but the doctor had dismissed it with the excuse that "fictional characters can't exist."

However, it now appears that this singularity... contains "virtual characters," and one of the members of their alliance, Henry Jekyll, was confirmed by Lawrence to be the product of the character's prototype and its phantom after the latter's diagnosis.

So, could we assume that Sherlock Holmes was not just a character in Conan Doyle's stories, but actually existed in this world?

"Huh? You already know? Could it be that you've already met him?" Manrio said in surprise.

"No, no... After we arrived at this singularity, we got caught up in the phantoms' entanglement. If it weren't for Miss Mordred and Mr. Sakata Kintoki showing up, and Mr. Manrio, if you hadn't appeared to help us retreat, who knows what would have happened. We never even saw that Sherlock Holmes."

“Is that so…” Manrio smiled nonchalantly. “Then say hello if we meet in the future.”

He jumped off the sofa and walked towards the door: "Go to bed early, you have to go out to scout tomorrow, you won't be energetic if you sleep too late."

谷嗊

"I, I understand..." Watching Manrio skip and hop out of his room, she suddenly remembered something quite important.

How did he get in?

......

“We’ll begin reconnaissance today. Just to be safe, we’ll split into two teams.” Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the map. “We’re currently in Bakersley. The two closest blank spots are Barking on the north bank of the Thames and the area between New Addington and Bromley, which is southwest of here.”

“Can I handle the personnel allocation, Mr. Jekyll?” She looked up at the silent Henry Jekyll.

“Well, you have more experience in this area, so you should do it.” Henry Jekyll chose to trust Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had already conquered three singularities.

Nodding, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at everyone: "Ms. Mordred and Mr. Sakata Kintoki are currently our strongest Servants in terms of direct combat power. I need you to each take one side to balance the combat power on both sides."

"I'm fine, I'll go to... Bajin." Sakata Kintoki said with a carefree laugh. Although his class is Berserker, his Berserk level is low, only at the E level, so his sanity is basically unaffected.

“Since Sakata Kintoki has chosen Ba Jin, I’ll go somewhere else,” Mordred said with a smile.

"As for the others, Mr. Manlio, Miss Lawrence, and Mash, please go with Miss Mordred. I will also go with you. Miss Camilla and Miss Simonetta will go with Sakata Kintoki. I'll leave the rest to you, Mr. Jekyll."

Camilla looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and silently nodded in her heart.

This little girl has grown a lot in these singularities. Doing it this way has basically maximized the balance of combat power on both sides, and it has also made up for each other's weaknesses, allowing everyone to give full play to their strengths.

"If everyone agrees, let's set off quickly. It's not far, and if nothing unexpected happens, we should try to get back before dark."

......

The investigation has begun.

Manrio used his twisting magic to move forward quickly.

Like Lawrence, his abilities are basically derived from the "corrections" from the Throne of Heroes after his death. After all, neither Manlio nor Lawrence had much contact with the mystical during their lives, so if they relied on their abilities in life to fight, they would be easily defeated.

You should know that Lawrence was a ruthless man who could fall unconscious after being stabbed with a dagger!

Manlio's twisting magic is a correction based on his "famous architect".

It's not about distorting space, but rather distorting the "structure" to a certain extent. The only thing it can do is conceal one's presence, make one's movements faster, and prevent others from noticing one's presence...

Lawrence wanted to ask Manrio yesterday, "Are you sure this correction is for caster and not assassin?"

Manrio innocently stated, "I really am a caster. I'm the one who set up the magic array at Henry Jekyll's residence!"

Chapter 711 Ba Jin's Encounter

With Lawrence's speed-up magic, the group moved forward quickly.

There are many phantoms on both sides of the road, some of which are harmless, while others may be harmful.
