The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

The Gae Bolg Alternative appeared in his hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, she should have two weapons like this in her hands, right?"

"..."

Shuten-doji was even more surprised this time.

Because what Ian said was exactly the same as the truth, and the weapon in his hand was a one-to-one restoration.

"Uncle...how did you do that..."

Shuten-doji's reaction made Ian realize that his idea was correct.

Or rather, he had actually had this idea a long time ago.

The reason for this is very simple.

This is a war started by the Celts. Now that Maeve is here, then—

His wife in the Shadow Kingdom, Scathach, who is the queen, is also likely to appear in this singularity!

"It's difficult to explain. I know who it is now. Don't worry, they are not our enemies."

"And quite the opposite. Since she has chosen to help you, she should be our friend no matter how you think about it. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand..." Shuten-doji muttered softly, "But——"

"But what?" Ian felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

"But she seems to be looking for something too."

Ibaraki Douji took over Shuten Douji's words and responded to Ian in this way.

"She warned Shuten and I to stay out of her way... She seems to be quite the loner."

"This……"

Ian couldn't deny the ideas of Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji.

Scathach is indeed a loner.

The fact that he had lived in Fuyuki City for ten years without making any friends was proof of that.

She doesn't like that kind of bustling life, nor does she want her peaceful daily life to be disturbed by others.

but--

This does not mean that Scathach is such a cold person at heart. On the contrary, she is actually a very enthusiastic person.

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside, that's probably what this means about her.

only……

Why on earth did Scathach appear here?

Ian really couldn't think of it for a moment.

But before that, further confirmation is needed.

"Did she say anything else besides that?"

"No." Shuten-doji shook his head. "It didn't look like he wanted to interact with us, so he didn't say much."

"That's it..."

Knowing that he couldn't get more information from Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, Ian didn't say anything more.

He nodded, then began to caress the two cute female ghosts, his tone full of tenderness.

"Well, thank you for your hard work this time—there are only two of you. It's quite commendable that you dared to form a team to fight against the Celtic Legion."

"You did a great job, I'm very satisfied."

After being praised by Ian, Shuten-doji felt a little embarrassed.

What she couldn't stand the most was the same kind of compliments - it would make her look ecstatic.

"In that case, can I make a small request?"

"any request?"

Ian picked up the two female ghosts and let them sit on his left and right.

"Let me make it clear first, if you go too far, I will be angry."

"No, we will never make any excessive demands!"

Shuten-doji waved her hands repeatedly, which made her look even more adorable.

"We only ask for things that Uncle can do—we never ask for anything excessive!"

"Okay, now that you've said that, I'd like to hear what it is."

"that is--"

Shuten-doji glanced at the great Onmyoji's treasure beside his legs, which he used to subdue ghosts and monsters. His throat moved slightly, as if he had swallowed something.

"Will we have a chance to try what we just did with Ibaraki in the future? Let me make it clear, it's not me who wants to do this, it's Ibaraki who wants to do this!"

"We're just here to keep her company!"

"Right, Izuku? That's how it is, right?"

After saying this, Shuten-douji reached out and pulled Ibaraki-douji beside him.

The implication was, of course, that he wanted her to cooperate with him in saying these words.

Ibaraki Douji seemed to understand what she meant. She nodded at Ian and then spoke in a daze.

"I don't know why though—"

"But if that's the case, please take it as my word!"

"Hey! Ibaraki! Aren't you saying I'm threatening you?!"

"Oh... then I'll add one more thing - Shuten didn't threaten me to say these words, I said them voluntarily."

"..."

This scene made Ian smile.

It’s not that he thought Ibaraki Douji’s words were ridiculous, but he felt a little relieved.

If the two of them could just have little fights like this on a regular basis, they wouldn't have been so sad during the time I was away.

"Uncle...what are you laughing at?" Shuten-doji asked with great concern, "Do you find my behavior ridiculous?"

"Nothing."

Ian lowered his head and kissed the foreheads of Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji, who were sitting on his lap.

"I just like seeing you like this."

"Well... I will seriously consider what Shuten just said."

Ever since——

A perfect celebration banquet just went by.

To a certain extent, every girl got what she wanted.

But what they didn't know was that Ian was thinking about something else at this moment.

"BB, what is the general purpose of the Servants' arrival?"

Ian asked his assistant directly like this.

"Eh? Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Because it's like this..."

Ian told BB everything that happened to Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji.

"This……"

After listening to the story, the devil girl fell into deep thought.

but--

For her, thinking is the easiest thing to do, especially when there is a trace to follow.

"It's absolutely impossible for a Servant to appear somewhere for no reason."

"Their manifestation must be accompanied by a certain logic—pig, you haven't even thought this through, have you?"

"How could I not know this..." Ian said helplessly, "But it is precisely because I know this that I cannot understand it all."

"Why on earth is Scathach here?"

"...Even if you ask me about this, I won't be able to answer you."

The devil girl was very honest in expressing her thoughts.

"However, you seem to be very familiar with the woman named Scathach."

"If that's the case, you might want to think about what she's holding back on. BB thinks that might be the answer you're looking for."

"..."

BB's words made Ian fall into deep thought.

He recalled every detail of his time with Scathach and everything that happened after he came to this singularity.

Suddenly--

Ian understood.

"Could it be... because of the Shadow Country?"

"Shadow Country? What kind of place is that? How come I've never heard of it?"

"Tentatively... you could understand it as a place burned down by human forces, right?"

This wasn't just Ian's wild guess.

Rather, it was something he inferred based on what Maeve said.

Scathach cares about very few things, herself is one of them, and the Land of Shadows is also one of them.

In this situation, it is impossible that she is here because of me - otherwise, she would have appeared long ago.

If you think about it this way, then there is only one possibility left.

That is the Land of Shadows.

Yes.

Scathach appears here for this reason.

"Thank you, BB!"

"Now I know what to do!"

"Eh?"

Ian knew what to do, but the demon girl was confused.

Up to this point, she was still confused.

but--

If this can help him, then it's not unacceptable!

Under BB's "accidental guidance", Ian began his own plan to find the Queen's wife.

The first and simplest way.

That naturally means mobilizing the manpower of the United Kingdom to find Scathach's existence.

This is a situation quite similar to that of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But Ian knew that the result this time would definitely be completely different.

because--

He had to use a more "shameless" method, or a method that would suit Scathach's wishes.

A group of helicopters once again took to the skies over the United Kingdom.
