In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

Olga Marie was in despair.

She kept retreating on the ground like an earthworm, and whenever she caught something, she would throw it at the dark shadows in front of her.

But this kind of attack will naturally not produce any effect.

The black shadow raised the shining dagger high, then stabbed down with force.

"Help!"

"I don't want to die!"

Olga Marie raised her hands to shield her head - a pointless defense.

But the next moment.

She heard a clang.

That was the sound made when weapons collided.

Olga Marie opened her eyes.

Ian appeared in front of her holding a sword and blocked the dagger for her.

"Captain, you are not hurt!"

"Ian..."

Looking at the man in front of her, Olga Marie's eyes became a little moist.

"I'm fine."

"That's good." Ian breathed a sigh of relief. "We can talk later. Go hide somewhere safe first!"

"Hey, what about you?"

"I'll be fine, trust me!"

"..."

Although she felt that Ian's words were not convincing, Olga Marie knew that she had no choice but to trust him.

but--

When she turned around, she discovered something despairing.

There are many dark shadows approaching on the road behind!

They are similar but not identical, but both reveal a murderous intent.

Olga Marie panicked.

"Ian! There's something weird here too!"

"what?!"

Although he heard what Olga Marie said, Ian had no way to spare the time to help her.

Because these dark shadows in front of him were not simple—they exuded a magical power that was visible to the naked eye.

Ian realized that this might be the Assassin in the Holy Grail War.

Their individual capabilities are not that strong.

But now it seems that due to the overflowing magic of the Holy Grail, it has become a formidable enemy.

It's not that they can't be dealt with, but their numbers are so large that it's very troublesome.

"Damn it!"

Ian knocked away a dagger thrown by the black shadow.

“Why are there so many?”

But at this moment, a series of flames flew over.

"It's a hundred faces after all."

Cu Chulainn said this as if responding to Ian, and then eliminated the black shadows one after another under Olgamari's surprised gaze.

The blue-haired magus looked at the man who had also defeated the black shadow.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Ian."

"Oh... I am Cu Chulainn."

Cu Chulainn, who was exchanging what he had, turned away.

The fire just now attracted more dark shadows.

"Ian, let's have another game."

"Let's see who kills more of 'him'."

"...Okay." Ian looked at the shadow that appeared from another direction and tightened his grip on his weapon. "We didn't finish the fight anyway."

I don’t know how long it took.

As Ian pulled the sword he projected out from the last black shadow.

A huge threat ended.

"Director."

Ian bent down and gently stroked Olga Marie's head.

"It's okay now."

"..."

Olga Marie, who was unable to make a sound due to excessive fear, suddenly seemed to be liberated.

The still expression collapsed in an instant, replaced by extremely devastating crying.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to her weak appearance when she was secretly comforting herself in the office.

“Uooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——!”

"Ian, those things are horrible!"

"Ok, I know."

Ian hugged Olga Marie and listened silently to her crying in his arms.

Cu Chulainn looked at this scene with a complicated expression.

He felt that he seemed a little redundant at the moment.

It took a while for Olga Marie to calm down.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and held Ian's hand tightly.

Cu Chulainn finally had his chance to interrupt.

"Ian, I just heard you call her the director."

"Are you from some organization?"

Unlike Mordred who was summoned in a simple way, Cu Chulainn (Caster) who was summoned through the formal way was given enough modern knowledge.

Communication will be more convenient.

"Yes." Ian squeezed Olga Marie's hand.

"We are from Chaldea."

"Chaldea?"

Cu Chulainn looked puzzled.

"It feels like a place that sounds a little familiar... but not quite clear."

"Forget it, don't worry about it."

Cu Chulainn stared at Ian and Olga Marie in front of him.

"Looking at you, you don't look like a Master, nor a Servant. You should have nothing to do with the Holy Grail War."

"That--"

"Why are you here?"

"..."

This is a very core issue.

Ian looked at Olga Marie beside him and frowned slightly.

This meant to ask if she could answer truthfully.

However, Olga Marie did not have such concerns - perhaps Cu Chulainn's act of helping her just now made her realize that this was not a servant that could not be won over.

She nodded directly.

With this permission, Ian explained his origins.

"Cu Chulainn, it is like this..."

The man briefly explained the whole process.

After listening to this, Cu Chulainn nodded thoughtfully.

“So that’s how it is… Is Fuyuki City right now special?”

"Then I can understand why things have turned out like this."

"It became like this?"

Ian sensed there was something else going on.

And Cu Chulainn's next words also proved his idea.

"Ian, this Holy Grail War has gone bad."

"Deteriorated?"

"Let's leave here first." Cu Chulainn picked up his staff, "We will talk on the way."

"Row."

Following Cu Chulainn's words, the group left their original place and their next destination seemed to be a big mountain.

After a moment of silence, the blue magician walking in front began to speak.

"Normally, the Holy Grail War should be a battlefield where Servants strive to seize the Holy Grail."

"but--"

Cu Chulainn sighed.

“This one is very different.”

"The swordsmen of this war did not make any wishes when they were able to touch the Holy Grail."

"Didn't make any wishes?"

Ian was a little surprised - after all, the Holy Grail was known as the "universal wishing machine".

"Yes." Cu Chulainn nodded.

"Not only did the swordsman not intend to make a wish herself, she also did not allow others to make a wish. She just stood beside the Holy Grail, destroying anyone and any servant who tried to touch the Holy Grail."

"This indirectly triggered countless disasters - fires, earthquakes and other terrible events followed one after another, and mankind also perished at this time."

"Now, of the seven servants who first participated in this Holy Grail War, only the swordsman and I are left."

"What were those shadows just now..." Ian couldn't help but ask.

"They are assassins who have become her subordinates." Cu Chulainn continued to explain, "She can turn all those she defeats into her subordinates."

"Wait a moment!"

Olga Marie realized something.

"If this continues, won't this Holy Grail War never end?"

"The Holy Grail can't be taken away either - will everyone be trapped here?"
