Chapter 27.2: Emilia’s Quest For L

Date: 19th of May 2042| 1:20 PM

Location: The Prophets Base, ???

*Emilia Eckhart's Perspective*

"Senpai?" I called out to him

"What?"

"Should I connect you and Ken?" I asked

"Nah. It might give away our position. Our enemies might be sensitive to these kinds of connections"

*PING*

All of a sudden a large ping appeared on the map

"Aria! What is this reading???" I asked Aria, who is next to me.

The mana reading is going off the charts, it is akin to a divine spirit. Is there any heroic spirit who can give this large reading?

"I can feel it from here, where is it Emi?" Senpai asked me

I calculated the distance through the map and "It is in the southeast around 10 km away from the city"

"There huh? Got it"

"Got it?"

"We will intercept the enemy" Senpai said in his serious tone

"WHAT???? DON'T JOKE AROUND SENPAI!!!! I KNOW HOW STRONG CHIEF IS BUT..." I shouted in response to his ridiculous suggestion. The reading is not halfway to being divine, but it is a divine... wait... why is there a divine spirit?

"You want to know why?" Senpai suddenly asked

"...you read my mind again..."

"Haha... you don't have to worry about us. We will first help Caster and Rider in the city before intercepting with that big reading. I have a good guess on who it might be so I want to confirm it myself"

"Senpai..."

"How long before the big one arrives at the city?"

"…Around 20 mins"

"That's enough time"

"But senpai you still need an hour or two right?"

"This is where my plan goes in, Chief!!!"

"Here we go!!! LEIN!!!" Chief shouted

"I'm going in, Emi! Focus on reading the enemy's movement and report it to us immediately"

"RO-ROGER!!!"

Just what is senpai planning? Nevermind that. I shook my head and lightly tapped my face to wake myself up.

"Aria, keep refreshing the data and send it to Luna and Karma"

"Copy that" Aria replied and immediately went to work

Currently, there are 5 servant readings not including our Rider and Caster's reading. They are attacking like they know our positions. Caster(West) attacked our Caster and Rider did the same. It is like they are matching the pieces.

"Oddly, they are well too prepared to wage war" Senpai pointed out

"I had the same thought"

"Try to investigate that for me, Emi"

"Got it!"

"I'll be gone for a while so for now inform them"

"Of your arrival?" I asked

"Yeah. Everyone except Caster and Karma"

"You want to surprise him?"

"Not really…" Senpai lost his enthusiasm

"I still believe what I did at that time was right, it's just a winner takes it all… Anyways, I will be disconnecting, reconnect with me after 5 mins"

"Copy that senpai!!!"

Senpai disconnected the call

"Connect us to Luna and Ken. Inform them about senpai's arrival"

"What about Lord Karma?" Aria asked

"I will talk to him. Aria you go talk to Luna and Ken"

"Copy"

"Well, then how should I start the conversation?"

"Starting connection in… 3…2…1" one of the staff gave a thumb-up gesture

"Just in time Emilia" Karma answered

"You should have felt that?" I asked him

"It is still far away but we have our hands full in dealing with the enemy. And Haruka is still injured. And another one that is coming to our position"

"That other one is a backup, Karma-san"

"That's great then"

"Caster is fighting against the enemy Caster right?"

"Hm. I am on my way right now to help him"

"Will you be really able to help?" I asked

"I can no worries"

In the data, we have about Karma. It is said that he excels in all kinds of combat. Magic-based or physical he can do it. He also has that weird familiar with him.

"Do you have any data about the enemy Caster?" Karma asked

"Ah. Sorry I spaced out a little. About Caster? All we know is that they are 2 servants summoned as one. They are obviously from the west and based on their clothing they are from…probably around the 14th century."

"And that they are children" he added

"Yes. They were about to use their Noble Phantasm last time but were interrupted by our Rider"

"Children from the 14th century… I see… maybe they are indeed, 'them'"

"You have an idea about their true name?"

"They might be from the famous Grimm's Fairytale, a twin who was thrown into the woods and later found a house made from candy"

"Hansel and Gretel?" I answered

"Yes, they might be them."

"It's true they might… no they must be"

"So you also agree…" he asked with a weird tone.

"Is it that weird that I agreed with you?" I asked him

"You hate me, don't you?"

"Just like what I said. I do despise you"

"I am still wondering why?"

"You'll know soon enough" I told him

"…I have a bad feeling about that"

"I will bet all of my money, It will be the worse feeling for you"

He just sighed "Let's move on with the topic" he shifted the topic

I still want to add more words but time is running short, so I followed his shift

"We still don't have that much information about Assassin but we already deduced that Rider(West) might be Perseus or Bellerophon"

"We will talk about this later. I arrived where Caster is so I will be busy now"

"Got it. 'He' will arrive in a few minutes"

He just suddenly cut of the call. Let's see if he will remain as calm as himself once he saw Senpai…

Senpai please be careful…

Many would have noticed or might have noticed the slight change in Emilia's personality. This is obviously because of Emilia's hatred to Karma.
