In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

If it weren't for her considerable strength, and if her Noble Phantasm wasn't specialized in defense, she probably would have been killed by that attack just now.

But why? Why is it so important to kill her?

Joan of Arc simply couldn't understand whether killing the referee before the battle would really benefit the Red side.

"Give up."

Joan of Arc calmly advised, "You should understand that this is pointless!"

"really."

Scáthach twirled her spear, a smile playing on her lips. "If it were just me, killing you wouldn't be so easy. So when did I ever say I was alone?"

"Is it Assassin?"

Joan of Arc was not surprised. She asked a question in return and pointed her battle flag toward the wilderness on her right.

In an instant, a beautiful young girl's body appeared out of nowhere in the previously empty wilderness.

She has healthy, wheat-colored skin, short purple hair that reaches her ears, and a petite figure.

She appears to be a harmless and beautiful girl, but the white skull mask on her face reveals her identity—an Assassin!

Despite her petite stature, the girl possessed immense potential. With swift movements, she dodged and stealthily moved, slashing at the delicate neck of the blonde saintess with her dagger.

Unfortunately, she did not succeed.

Joan of Arc immediately distanced herself the moment she appeared, not daring to allow the owner of this body to have any contact with her.

Joan of Arc looked at the girl with extreme caution; this girl posed an even greater threat to her than Scáthach!

"The Red Assassin, Serene Hassan!"

Joan of Arc uttered her name and whispered, "The two attendants?"

They're really going all out. The Holy Grail War hasn't even started yet, and they've already sent two Servants to intercept the referee. In fact, each of these two is more threatening than the last.

Scáthach's strength goes without saying.

The greatest threat to Silent Hassan does not come from how terrifying her strength is.

Even the scent concealment technique, which is the most advantageous for Assassins, is completely ineffective against her as a Ruler.

So she had already discovered the other people lurking nearby from the very beginning, but she didn't expose them.

Ruler's unique class skill, "True Name Insight," allows her to immediately grasp the true name, class, and performance information of a Servant upon sight.

So when Silent Hassan appeared, Joan of Arc knew she absolutely could not let her touch her—

Although her six-dimensional stats are not high—endurance and strength are only D, magic power and Noble Phantasm are only C, only luck is A and agility is A+.

But for an Assassin, such data is undoubtedly sufficient.

In particular, Assassin's Noble Phantasm, "Delusional Poison Body," although only a C-rank, is actually extremely threatening.

Anything she touches will be poisoned. While Servants have high resistance, Masters do not. Ordinary people would die the moment they are touched by Serenity Hassan.

This ability is beyond her control, so even her Master is probably not immune to it.

Whether summoning her was a blessing or a curse is hard to say.

But for Joan of Arc, the threat posed by Hassan of Tranquility was far greater than that Scáthach!

Because she is not a complete Servant, but rather she manifests in the world through a human girl named Leticia.

Although as a Servant she is immune to this level of poison from mere contact, she can't guarantee that Leticia won't be affected, so it's best to keep her away from her!

"You should have acted sooner."

Scáthach glanced at the quiet woman, her words revealing a hint of dissatisfaction, and did not soften her attitude just because she was a teammate.

"Why should I take orders from you?" Jingmi's attitude grew even colder.

They are all women, and all Servants of the same side, but their attitudes toward each other are not much different from those of enemies.

Just as Scáthach was about to say something, she suddenly sensed something and looked up at the sky.

A knight riding a swift eagle and wielding a golden lance was descending from the sky towards them.

"Hey hey hey!! This is Rider!"

The knight did not attack any of them, but instead had the eagle land between them, using the accompanying wind and sand to force both sides back.

Astolfo asked sincerely:

"Excuse me, could we stop for now? If we start fighting, I'll be in real trouble! After all, I have Master's orders to follow, and if you continue to attack Ruler, I'll have to help you!"

"The black team's Rider?"

Joan of Arc seemed to be deep in thought; it seemed they weren't enemies after all.

As the Ruler, it would be a dereliction of duty to favor either side.

If this were a battle between the red and black sides, she wouldn't intervene.

But now it's the Red Team's assassination attempt on Ruler, and if the Black Team intervenes, she certainly won't stand idly by.

but.

Although this would incur favors, it doesn't mean she would show any bias towards the Black side.

Scáthach asked:

"The Black Rider? Are you all alone?"

"No, that's not it!"

Rider denied it, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment, "It's just that my Master is a little biased, only sending me here to mediate!"

While he fights to the death here, another rider can indulge in a life of pleasure and savor delicious food.

This favoritism is far too obvious!

So he had no right to complain, after all, she hadn't stayed by Master's side much, spending most of her time wandering around Tulipas. From this perspective, he was undoubtedly derelict in his duty as a Servant, and Master's indulgence towards him was no less than Archer's, only the direction of their indulgences differed.

"But he'll help if a fight really breaks out! You guys don't have much of a chance, are you really not going to give up?"

Rider kindly offered a suggestion and tried to dissuade the two Red Team Servants from retreating.

In reality, Astolfo wasn't entirely confident if a real fight broke out.

Archer wouldn't just abandon the game because he thinks he has the advantage in 2v2, would he? No way, right?

"There's really not much of a chance!"

Scáthach was equally decisive, putting away her spear and turning to leave, even ignoring the silence that remained in place.

Jingmi was not annoyed; she gave Joan of Arc a deep look and then disappeared from the spot.

"call!"

Rider breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, a fight hadn't broken out.

Astolfo looked at Joan of Arc and extended a friendly invitation:

"Ruler, shall we go see my Master?"

-

"Quiet Hassan?"

The familiar that was monitoring her sent new information, and Fiore couldn't help but show a look of apprehension.

Assassin's overall strength is almost the weakest among the seven Servants, but this "weakness" is only relative to other Servants. Even the weakest Servant has the ability to easily kill their Master.

In this respect, Hassan, who possesses the ability to conceal his presence and is already skilled in assassination, undoubtedly has a greater advantage.

If he were to be assassinated by Silent Hassan and had no Servants to protect him, then it's likely that none of the Black Faction's Masters would survive.

Something's not right!

Yoshikage Kira frowned slightly. "Assassin shouldn't be her..."

Fiore asked curiously:

"So, who was the original Assassin?"

Semiramis.

"The Assyrian Empress?"

Fiore was somewhat surprised, although the Empress and the Assassin were rarely connected. However, the Empress was the world's oldest poisoner, and it wasn't impossible that she might descend upon the Holy Grail War as an Assassin.

Fiore still didn't understand where Kira Yoshikage got his information about enemy Servants... especially since almost all of it was wrong.

Lancer is not Karna, it's Scáthach.

Assassin is not Semiramis, it is tranquility.

This means that the true names of two of the Red Team's Servants have been revealed. Who are the remaining five Servants?

"Fiore".

Yoshikage Kira looked up, gazing into the girl's light blue eyes. "We need to speed things up."

"Huh? Speeding up means..."

Fiore felt a sudden tightness in her chest and couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"It wouldn't be a problem to kill everyone except Koles, would it?" Yoshikage Kira asked.

"Well"

Although Fiore had some suspicions, she was still greatly shocked when Yoshikage Kira actually said it out loud.

Who speeds up to kill their teammates?

"It should be fine..."

Fiore whispered, "But what about their Servants?"

Whether it's Danic or Gold, they're not her peers, and they're not very close.

Even though Fiore felt sorry for a child like Roger, she couldn't bear to see him suffer.

But if killing is truly unavoidable, then there's nothing that can be done.

But if we really kill them all, what will happen to their followers?
