"I persuaded the director to go back and rest. Now I am taking over."
The control room was empty, with only an ordinary doctor who had made up his mind.
She raised the coffee beside her and took a sip, while looking at the map of Fuyuki City and began to direct everyone's actions.
"Ritsuka, Ophelia, by the way, please remind her to stop reading." She was helpless about Akagi Hinako who was somewhat independent of the team. It was incredible that she even refused to do a physical examination.
"Now listen to me. After dealing with these skeleton soldiers in front of us, we will cross the Fuyuki Bridge directly and go to the new capital on the other side of the river. Our goal is the church in the southeast. We will rest there and then discuss the subsequent battle plan."
"That lady is beautiful but something seems wrong. We can't leave for a while."
After getting rid of the last skeleton soldier, Cu Chulainn looked at the two shadow servants that appeared in front of him.
"Are you here, Lancer and Assassin?"
PS1: This is a chapter sent to you by a passing Aerial Splits Master in Rhodes Island.
PS2: The next chapter is about describing battles, which is something I am worst at. I am so nervous.
PS3: I guess you will be able to see the freshly released remastered version of the first chapter tomorrow.

Chapter 10 Fake Lancer, Real Lancer.JPG
"Long time no see, Caster." A mature woman's voice sounded a little low from under the black cloak.
Although she was covered by a cloak, her tall and plump figure could still be seen, but she was holding a sickle-like spear in her hand, and exuded a curse-like aura. Her long purple hair fluttered, and her naturally beautiful face showed an evil smile, giving people a feeling of being out of reach.
"What's wrong, Lancer? You can't win alone, so you ask Assassin to come and get back at you?"
"I'm sorry, I just found one, no, two capable helpers." Cu Chulainn waved the staff in his hand. The level of proficiency did not seem like what a Caster should have. It seemed that this job really restricted him to some extent.
"But compared to this, it is more important to deal with you first. Now that we are here, don't go back!" Holding the staff in his hand, Cu Chulainn jumped up and rushed directly towards Lancer.
"Hey, little girl with a shield in your hand!" Cu Chulainn's voice sounded in Mash's ears.
"Here! Mr. Cuchulain!"
"Listen carefully, our opponents this time are the Lancer class Medusa and the Assassin class Hassan. Although I now have a way to deal with them at once, it will make too much noise and will take time, so I'll have to ask you to do it, little girl."
"But seniors..." Mashu looked at Ritsuka and the others behind her with some concern.
"Don't worry, remember what I said before?"
"There are two capable helpers."
Looking at Cu Chulainn who was fighting against two Servants alone in front, and then looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ophelia, and Aku Hinako who was reading silently behind her, Mashu, who had originally made up her mind to fight with Cu Chulainn, hesitated.
"Mash, go! Win for me!" Seeing Mash's indecision, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly shouted at Mash.
After receiving the promise from her senior, Mashu nodded to her. "I understand. I will bring you victory, Master." Then she joined the battlefield with the giant shield in her hand.
"Hey! Take my shield!"
Upon hearing this, Ritsuka and Ophelia were both upset.
"Mashu, to some extent..."
"He's a very lively child, isn't he..."
And Aku Hinako was still reading the book silently, or rather, she was observing these people through the book.
"I had already prepared myself mentally, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."
"What I said before was so embarrassing..." She said in a low voice so that only she could hear it.
Assassin, who was originally besieging Cu Chulainn with Lancer, immediately changed his target after seeing someone joining the battlefield and fought against Mash.
"Little girl, let me make it clear first, I will not show mercy." He jumped quickly and threw flying knives at her, but they were all blocked by the shield in Mash's hand. Along with the sound of metal collision, the knives that were bounced off the cross shield and stuck in the ground.
"What's wrong? Is this the best you can do?" Mashu mocked the masked Assassin. "It's still 20,000 years too early to break through this shield!"
Assassin scratched his head, not knowing where to start with this turtle-like shield. "Well, this is much more troublesome..."
Cu Chulainn seized an opportunity in the previous battle and hit her wrist holding the gun with his staff, but the result was beyond his expectation.
Lancer not only took the blow, but also acted as if nothing had happened, and took advantage of his distraction to launch a counterattack.
"You actually have such great strength... I see, is this a skill that can increase your strength?" Cu Chulainn blocked Lancer's powerful attack with both hands, but it seemed a bit reluctant.
Lancer, who finally had the upper hand, smiled and said, "You found out, hehe."
Cu Chulainn, who had confirmed his guess, smiled bitterly. "So you guys with the reserved skills are really troublesome."
"But I do have some." The next second, Cu Chulainn knocked the blade on his staff away and launched a counterattack.
"I'm sorry, but I also know some rune magic, even though I only know a little bit, but it's enough to deal with you!"
"My marksmanship is much better than yours!"
After this period of fighting, Cu Chulainn had discovered the shortcomings of the hero from Greece he was facing.
As one of the goddesses in Greek mythology, Gorgon, who was transformed into a monster for some reason, is well-known in the world. So as a heroic spirit, although its spiritual base is not top-level, it can be said to be first-class.
This is one of the reasons why he has such skills as "super strength", but on the contrary, his proficiency with weapons is not that high.
What is extremely ironic is that the strange-looking spear in her hand is actually called Harpe, and its real owner should be Perseus.
The sword Lancer is holding right now is the one that cut off his head in the myth, but it has been changed into a gun shape to suit the Lancer job. I have to say that this is somewhat malicious.
Cu Chulainn, who became serious, gradually gained the upper hand with the help of Rune magic. Under his fierce attack, the operation of the opposing Lancer became increasingly flustered.
As a top-notch gun user, Cu Chulainn's stabbing angles were extremely precise each time, and he attacked with the ferocious momentum of a wild beast, making it impossible for Lancer to defend himself, let alone fight back.

Lancer realized that he could no longer suppress the enemy and called for Assassin, who was holding Mashu back, to come over for support, but this to some extent foreshadowed their defeat.
"It seems that you have all forgotten the fact that I am a Caster." Cu Chulainn stood on the magic circle that had been set up during the battle and activated his own Noble Phantasm.
My magic is a cage of blazing fire,
Green giant like thorns,
Destroy it——
——(Wicker Man) The Prison of Fire that Burns Out!
A huge wooden giant with its entire body burning appeared from the magic circle and attacked Lancer and Assassin.
Lancer and Assassin left the stage.
Looking at the somewhat shocked Mashu, Cu Chulainn did something to her that he thought was very handsome.
"How's it going? My cooking skills are okay, right?"
PS1: The real name of this chapter: This is Anfield!
PS2: I am so impressed with Heisei Forever! It’s just that Sucrose’s image was a little unexpected to me.
PS3:

Chapter 11 Why not release the treasure!
"As expected of Cuchulain."
Ophelia, who saw the battle between heroic spirits for the first time, was amazed by it, but she couldn't think of any words to describe it. She could only say something like "Is this the power of heroic spirits?" and "Cu Chulainn is awesome."
But Fujimaru Ritsuka in the second game is different. When she watched this battle again, all she could think of was someone's on-site commentary:
"Big disadvantage for Brother Dog!"
"Brother Gou looks ashen!"
"Brother Dog's formation is very poor!"
"Brother Gou, fight and retreat!"
"Brother Dog is in a dilemma!"
"There's no way for Brother Dog to escape!"
"Doggo got jumped in the face by Lancer and Assassin!"
"Dog brother's treasure explodes the enemy!"
"Ouch! Brother Gou actually won the fight!"
"As expected, the Cu Chulainn who is not a Lancer is the real Cu Chulainn. The Cu Chulainn of the Caster class is like a wild bull that pushed them to death."
Although Ophelia and the others are very nice, I still don't have that feeling.
"When I saw them, I didn't know what would happen. As expected of Cu Chulainn, he has an overwhelming advantage." Romani in Chaldea praised Cu Chulainn's strategy.
Well, that's better than some guy walking around the Holy Grail War with brass knuckles.
"Thank you for your compliment, beautiful lady. Let's continue our conversation. Where were we?"
"Let's talk about this on the way. Dr. Roman." Ritsuka flipped through the booklet in her hand. "The Fuyuki City recorded in the data is too different from this Fuyuki City. What kind of changes happened in this place?"
"I saw him sitting on a high throne. His robes hung down and covered the whole temple. He held two iron gloves in his hands and said to the Servant in front of him, 'I have granted you what you asked of me.' His mercy ended the war in this city on the last day."
"This is the original information material. Does Dr. Roman have any thoughts on it?" Ritsuka covered his mouth with one hand and looked at the person on the other side of the projection.
"Yes, really? It feels very biblical." Romani's hand holding the coffee was shaking slightly, and the three words "MMP" were written all over his face.
Isn't this my own experience? Why is it written there?
"There must be some confusion in history, but this is all I can guess." Olga Marie, who appeared at some point, took the initiative and entered the scene.
"After all, I've only been to Fuyuki once, and that was five years ago."
"Listen carefully, everyone." Olga Marie's eyes became sharp when she said this, and after sensing that her tone was a little serious, they also paid attention - except for Aku Hinako who loved learning and Fujimaru Ritsuka who had experience.
"Chaldea uses the Earth model of Chaldeas to observe the future. In addition, a familiar named Laplace is used to compile statistics on past records."
"You might as well think of it this way. Laplace's job is to search for history that has not been made public, or to dig up information buried in the dark."
"According to Laplace's observations, a special Holy Grail War broke out in this city in 2004."
"Holy Grail War...? Director, the Holy Grail you are talking about, are you referring to the legendary Holy Grail? The magic cauldron that has the omnipotent power to fulfill the holder's wishes and is regarded as the foundation of all magic?" Mash thought of what she had heard someone tell a story before.
"Yes, that Holy Grail."
"The magicians of Fuyuki City completed the Holy Grail and summoned seven heroic spirits to activate it."
"This is the origin of the Holy Grail War. The Servants were summoned to this city without anyone knowing."
"Fuyuki's Holy Grail War system is actually very simple."
"Seven Masters fight each other, and the last one left will get the Holy Grail."
"Chaldea learned of this fact in 2010. My father... no, the previous director used this data as the basis for creating the summoning ceremony."
"This is Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System? Destiny. It is the third invention after Laplace and Chaldeas."
"In short, this is the birthplace of."
"Seven Servants once fought here. And Saber won in the end."
"The city was not destroyed, and the Servants' activities should have ended quietly."
"However, it has become like this now. This should be caused by the appearance of the singularity."
"The aberration in 2004 affected the entire history of mankind, and the result was that the future a hundred years from now could no longer be seen."
"So, our mission is to repair the anomaly. There must be something in this area that has disrupted history."
"As long as we can analyze it and eliminate it, we can complete the mission. Then you can all return to Chaldea." Olga Marie frowned and thought of some questions, such as -
Why is it in Fuyuki?
If the Holy Grail War happened somewhere else, would it still be in Fuyuki?
Olga Marie's words aroused Ophelia's interest. "Um, Director, has Chaldea ever summoned a Heroic Spirit?"
"Of course I did. But it wasn't very smooth, and the number of successful calls was very few."
"According to the records, only three were summoned, but I only know two of them."
