Unlike Haru and Raikou who were very happy inside their room, the following day, the whole of Romania seemed to be shrouded in the strange atmosphere and everyone who lived in this country could feel that it was as if a calm before storm was approaching.
However, ordinary people, none of them were aware of this problem, and they continued to live day after day as usual.
However, for the Magus, they knew that the battle of the Holy Grail War was happening in the darkness.
Whether it was the Red Faction or the Black Faction, after suffering heavy losses, they had become even more cautious.
Even the atmosphere on the Fortress of Millennia and Trifas had become very tense. Not only had the number of patrolling homunculus and golems increased but the enhancement, traps, and the ban within the city increased.
With the authority of the Yggdmillennia clan, it was possible to control the entire city, and they really did that since the situation of the Holy Grail War for their faction was at a critical moment and they had entered a state of alert.
The loss of combat power of three servants of the Black Faction forced the Yggdmillennia clan to act cautiously.
Especially when they learned the Red Team had two powerful servants, Karna and Achilles, no matter what, they needed to be careful since they couldn't lose this Holy Grail War no matter what.
For this reason, the Yggdmillennia clan sent out their Magus outside to investigate and collect intelligence since they couldn't lose the power of their servants.
The Magic Association was also the same, they sent out many Magus to operate in the dark to provide various support to both masters and servants of the Red Faction in this Holy Grail War.
Both sides were very cautious towards each other, however, on this day, there were a lot of things that were happening.
The first one was murder.
Presently, when the Red Faction and Black Faction were facing each other, Jack the Ripper's activities became even more lawless, killing a lot of people in Bucharest, causing a large panic in entire Romania.
For this reason, the master of Saber of Red and his servant seemed to follow the instructions of the Magic Association, chasing Jack the Ripper who had disregarded the rules of the Holy Grail War to hide everything from the public and to not cause a big panic.
Both the master and the servant kept chasing after the Jack of Ripper, and even had fought to each other, however, at the last moment, Jack the Ripper was always able to escape.
According to the Magic Association, besides the bad people in Bucharest, the Magus in Bucharest was also killed by Jack the Ripper.
However, it was normal people considering the Magic Power or the Life Energy of the Magus was several times higher than normal people.
Jack the Ripper needed a lot of Magic Power and when her master was unable to support her, the only way for her to support herself was by eating the heart of the Magus to receive a Magic Power.
Chiron also expected this matter and also shared his opinion with everyone on the Black Faction about the massacre which happened in Bucharest at this moment.
Inwardly, Haru let out a long sigh. Even though he had to admit that Jack the Ripper was a very cute girl, he needed to stop her since this girl was too cruel, right?
Haru felt a bit regret that he hadn't finished her at that time. If he had finished her at that time, then this situation wouldn't have happened.
'Well, if I can make her into my servant then it is different...'
But then, it was a war so he needed to harden his heart and defeat Jack the Ripper later when he met her.
Jack the Ripper was doing preparation and she needed a lot of Magic Power to do that. If she had enough of Magic Power, then she would probably have started her counterattack by then.
The accident caused by Jack the Ripper caused entire Romania to turn under depression.
Even the Yggdmillennia clan and the Magic Association also felt the situation which was caused by the Jack the Ripper was very troublesome and they wanted to make Jack the Ripper retire as soon as possible from the Holy Grail War, showing how dangerous this servant was.
The combat ability of the Jack the Ripper might not be that strong, but she was good at acting in the dark which caused her to become a very tricky opponent since no one knew when she would attack them.
Based on the intelligence that they had collected, the range of activity of the Jack the Ripper was gradually moving towards the north, from Bucharest to Trifas and Sighisoara.
It also meant that Jack the Ripper was ready to join the Holy Grail War and it alerted everyone since Jack the Ripper was very good at assassination. It wouldn't be funny if they suddenly killed during their sleep so they were very wary all the time.
"If we don't be careful, then I am afraid that Assassin might attack us."
Chiron not only strengthened the guard around Fiore but also asked Darnic to strengthen the guard of the rest of the masters, including Gordes who had lost his servant.
Although Gordes had lost his servant, he still held Command Spell, and he hadn't lost his qualification as a master.
Generally speaking, Gordes should be able to make a contract with a new servant then return back to the Holy Grail War.
However, this time, the Holy Grail War wasn't a normal Holy Grail War, but a battle between Black Faction and Red Faction. It had a different rule which was why Gordes was unable to summon another servant and because of that, there was no reason for the servants from the Red Faction to attack Gordes who had lost his servant.
The existence of Gordes was useless besides the Command Spells on his hand.
However, Command Spells were very important in this Holy Grail War and it would be dangerous if Gordes was kidnapped and was threatened to give up his Command Spells so that was why he was under home arrest and wasn't allowed to go out, spending time by drinking in sorrow.
On the other hand, Celenike also was still chasing after Astolfo.
The contract between the two hadn't been abolished, Celenike could feel the position of Astolfo, and as long as she didn't provide Astolfo with Magic Power, he would die sooner or later, but she wouldn't do that since she only wanted to torture him slowly since he had caused her such big trouble.
If Astolfo didn't own "Independent Action" skill in his arsenal then he would die since he couldn't get a Magic Power from Celenike, but he had owned that skill which caused him to be able to stay in the world for a while without Celenike's support.
The whole situation was very chaotic.
This caused the Yggdmillennia clan to dare not act rashly, and could only hope that Celenike would bring Rider back as soon as possible, so their power would return.
The situation of the Yggdmillennia clan was very miserable, they had made a lot of preparations for this Holy Grail War, from researching the Magic Power diversion method, summoning Romania's most powerful hero, however, when they thought that it would be an easy win, there was a lot of unexpected things which kept happening which caused their preparation to keep up with change.
"Kasugano-kun, we need the power of your Berserker very much." Darnic looked at Haru and said, "If you need a Magic Power then you can use the homunculus to supply Berserker's Magic Power."
Raikou snorted, hearing Darnic's words since her dear was very amazing and she also disdained to use the Magic Power of the homunculus since she felt that it would make her power downgrade.
"Thank you, Mr. Darnic. We will definitely win the Holy Grail War, even with the cost of my life," Haru said without hesitation.
Darnic nodded and seemed to be very satisfied with Haru's answer. "After we have won this Holy Grail War, don't worry, I will give you a lot of rewards."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Darnic." Haru bowed his head slightly, feeling grateful, even though, it was only an act.
Darnic nodded and thought that he really should marry Haru to Fiore after the Holy Grail War ended.
When the meeting ended, Haru and Raikou quickly returned to their room slowly.
Raikou had to admit that Haru's ability was very amazing since he could realize all of his fetish and fantasy, but then again, she wanted him to call her "mommy" in this form, rather than in his child form.
When Haru and Raikou entered their room, there was an uninvited guest inside.
Haru had realized this guest before he entered the room, but Raikou was full of murderous intent toward this guest since her plan to play with her dear was disturbed by this uninvited guest.
Raikou directly pulled out her katana and she was ready to attack this uninvited guest.
"An insect needs to die!"
The uninvited guest was startled by Raikou's sudden anger, and he had lost his calm expression since the pressure which was brought by Raikou was very strong!
However, Raikou's butts were slapped by Haru.
*Slap!*
"Calm down, alright?'
Raikou blushed and acted very girly in front of Haru. "I hate it! Don't do this kind of thing in front of an insect dear!"
"I know, but don't kill him so suddenly," Haru said.
"But..."
Haru looked at the uninvited guest and asked, "Before you're being killed for trespassing in someone else's room, can you introduce your name first?" He knew who this guy was, but well, he wanted to pretend after all.
"Excuse me and I am sorry for bothering you."
In front of Haru and Raikou, there was a youth in a priest's costume, showing a gentle smile as if the thing which happened didn't bother him at all, but if someone looked closely there was sweat on his forehead.
"Please forgive me for entering your uninvited room and distributing your quality time." The youth smiled and said, "I guess both of you are a couple? If you want to get married then I can become a priest for your marriage."
"Mar - Marriage?!" Raikou blushed and felt very happy, and kept looking at Haru from time to time.
"Sorry, both of us are Shinto believers," Haru said with a gentle smile. He owned a shrine after all, even though he didn't believe in Shinto.
Raikou only remembered and nodded since she was a Shinto believer.
"I see... that's a shame..." The youth let out a sigh and said, "But let me introduce myself, I am the priest that is sent by the church to oversee the Holy Grail War, Shirou Kotomine. Nice to meet you, Berserker's Master."
