Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Although this "combat power" is indeed strong.

Putting aside other things, at least in terms of strength, Fujimaru Ritsuka agrees with both hands.

"Although it's indeed suspicious..."

Roman said this with some helplessness. He still remembered the scene just now. The ability to invade the Chaldea system without anyone noticing was too incredible.

Fortunately, the other party had no hostility, otherwise Chaldea, which they had urgently repaired with great difficulty, would have been completely "scrapped".

By then, no one will be able to prevent the disaster from happening.

After cleaning up the seat soaked with coffee, Roman sat back in the center of the screen with a serious expression.

"But as Leonardo da Vinci said, in this situation, someone so powerful and kind approaching us is undoubtedly a timely help."

Although this approach is a bit scary.

"So Da Vinci and I, along with everyone else, voted unanimously to agree to the other party."

I really agreed...

Ritsuka Fujimaru really wanted to cover his face, but when he thought about the other people present, even that Shuul was right next to him, he resisted the urge to do so.

Mashu, standing by, still looked confused.

She also listened to Roman's story, but at this time she was staring at the boy and Xuul beside him in amazement.

Communication with Chaldea was restored, and hearing the familiar voices of the two elders gave the girl a rare sense of security in this strange singularity.

But why is this happening?

Senior, what did you talk about with the other party?

They were enemies before, but now they're joining Chaldea and joining us?

Mashu's heart was in a state of great confusion, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was being stared at by her, also felt uncomfortable. However, Shuul, who caused all this, always had a cold expression on his face, as if this was the most normal thing.

At this time, the two were in the original "hiding place" that Shul used to stay, which was the critical area where he had previously chatted with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

As for the Masters of this Holy Grail War who were imprisoned in another dimension.

Xiuer promised the two that he would let them go when the matter was over and would not do anything to harm their lives.

And Mordred...

They had asked if Xuel could refrain from killing him.

But Shuel told them bluntly "Impossible".

The meaning is self-evident.

Shul's behavior undoubtedly reduced Mashu's favorability towards him, but Shul didn't care. He didn't care what others thought of him.

As long as the goal is achieved, it is enough.

Xiuer turned his head slightly and glanced at the depressed girl. Various "shocking facts" made his thoughts stagnate for a while, so that he didn't notice the former's actions at all.

Fujimaru Ritsuka noticed it, but he still had something to ask.

"You said it would be over today, so what are you going to do now?"

After all, this singularity was caused by Shuul, which makes Fujimaru Ritsuka curious about his next actions.

Having said that, the boy looked at the puppets that were either walking around or waiting in place nearby, as well as Karna who was standing very close to one of the puppets not far away.

Ever since he came here, he saw this group of puppets staying inside all the time, and none of them "went out".

"Answer: Wait for Red Assassin to complete his Noble Phantasm and prepare the "field." In 10 minutes, I will "inspect" Black Caster's Noble Phantasm."

They are all treasures...

The boy looked at the magic workshop in the distance. As Xuer had said, the Black Caster, whom he had never met before, had been staying there tinkering with his Noble Phantasm.

And if Shul hadn't mentioned it first, Fujimaru Ritsuka would have thought that the magic workshop belonged to Shul and was used to make other dolls.

“Is this ‘over’ once this is done?”

"Sure, it's expected to be completed within 12 hours at the latest."

After checking the progress of the Red Assassin, Shuul expressed his estimate.

"You really didn't do anything with the Holy Grail?"

Shul had already revealed to the boy that the "Holy Grail" was in his hands, but it did not surprise the latter.

After all, according to Fujimaru Ritsuka's past experience, most singularities are often caused by someone "picking up" a Holy Grail of unknown origin.

However, the premise is that the "origin is unknown", so Chaldea's previous method of repairing singularities was to "recycle" those holy grails.

But what Shul held in his hand was different; it was the "Great Holy Grail" that originally belonged to this Holy Grail War.

Xiuer lowered his head and pinched his chin.

"Question: Does 'analyzing' the Holy Grail's operation and 'copying' it to perform illegal summonings fall under the category of 'using the Holy Grail'?"

After all, to be honest, Shuul relies on his own "ability" to perform the summoning ritual, which means that except for the "analysis" step, the Holy Grail is just a decoration in other places.

In Xiuer's opinion, as long as it is used once in the steps, it will be counted. However, on the other hand, when he asked this question, he actually wanted to see what the young man thought.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka thought differently.

"Sort of... maybe?"

At this point, a puppet walked out from the crowd and came to the few people.

He casually glanced at Mashu who had just come to her senses, and then turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Ritsuka Fujimaru knew this "Shurl" because it was Shurl who revealed it directly.

The individual named "F" is also the product of Shuul's illegal summoning, a Servant version of himself.

F stared at the boy's right hand.

"Ask a question, do you want to try it?"

He spoke indifferently, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Ok?"

"try what?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't understand F's intention.

"Answer and conclude the contract."

"Ah, come to think of it, you're also a Servant."

The young man smiled awkwardly, he didn't quite understand the other party's purpose.

"But why?"

After all, this F already has a "Master", right?

After understanding the boy's meaning, F continued:

"Sure, no need to worry, it's a temporary contract, I just want to try it out."

"Out of curiosity"

This is the reason given by F. As to whether this was instructed by Xu Er, no one knows.

"As for the position of 'Master'... please wait."

As he spoke, F's eyes suddenly turned from "gold" to "red", and after a few seconds, the bright and dangerous red turned into "blue".

After flashing blue for a few seconds, it quickly turned back to golden.

"The application has been completed, the project has been approved and can be implemented at any time."

F stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka's face quietly with his eyes that had turned back to gold.

During this period, Mashu was a little surprised by F's abnormal reaction, but Fujimaru Ritsuka watched the whole process calmly.

After all, compared to Mashu, the boy had already given all the "surprise" to Shul.

"Really? In that case, let's give it a try."

Seeing that the other party came prepared, Fujimaru Ritsuka knew that he could not refuse and could only do as the other party wished.

"Come to think of it, Xiuer, don't you still have things to deal with..."

Before starting the "contract", Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Shuul who had not spoken since a while ago. He still remembered that the other party had just said that he would examine some Noble Phantasm with Caster in a few minutes.

You can't just start when you say you want it to, right?

"Rebuttal, I have dispatched other individuals to carry out the execution and am currently awaiting the results."

In response to the boy's questions, Xiuer calmly gave an explanation.

He's not slacking off.

After all, with the "abilities/weapons" he currently possesses, he really doesn't need to do everything himself.

"No matter how you look at it, Miss Shule's 'ability' is just too convenient."

Roman, who had been listening to the whole process, also complained a little during the communication. He also listened to the topic raised by F just now, but did not express his opinion.

But if he were to say it, he also agreed to let Ritsuka Fujimaru sign a temporary contract with the other party, and Leonardo da Vinci had a similar opinion on this point.

There's no harm in doing it anyway.

After Shul's sudden "attack", Roman, who had calmed down, realized the convenience of the abilities that Shul had revealed.

Needless to say, the power to transfer space and create multiple different spaces at will is the most convenient and most buggy power.

"The contract is complete."

"Um...how should I put it, I suddenly feel a little strange."

Different from previous contracts with servants, the contract process with F gave Fujimaru Ritsuka an indescribable strange feeling.

It's not like he hasn't performed similar actions with certain Servants in other singularities, but F is particularly special.

However, after completing the contract, F turned around and left without looking back, leaving the boy no chance to ask questions.

"What a strange personality."

Mashu said this as she watched F leave.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't think anything of it.

"After all, it seems these 'dolls' are all just like their boss, with the same personality."

"Come to think of it, does it feel like there are a few 'people' missing?"

While sighing, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the "Shurls" around him.

He still remembered that among these dolls, there was one with the best personality, named No. 1.

"Answer, numbers 1-7 have other things to prepare."

Until then, Xuul, who had been silent for a long time, finally moved.

"Yeah……"

Ritsuka Fujimaru felt a little sorry because No. 1 left early due to something.

He didn't ask further about what it was for, after all, if he did, he was afraid of offending the other party.

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at Shuul's eyes, which changed color and glowed from time to time.

"I have a question, I'm curious..."

Not knowing what he was thinking of, the young man looked at Xuer's appearance for a few seconds and suddenly asked.

"Are you, or your creator, very powerful?"

After all, he had created a powerful "machine/doll" like this one, one that could even become a "Heroic Spirit". It would be a lie for Fujimaru Ritsuka to say he wasn't curious.

Perhaps it was because Shuul's performance could only be described as "anthropomorphic" that Fujimaru Ritsuka never imagined whether the other party was a "human" who had turned his physical body into inorganic matter.

Hearing this question, Xiuer's golden eyes suddenly flickered.

Creator?

"It's certain that the Creator is the first race, the 'Old Deus', an existence that 'we' cannot surpass. They are truly 'powerful'."

Based on the memory in his mind, Xiuer directly stated this fact.
