Preparation Before the Main Event

After meeting the devils, My servant and I immediately go to our mansion and wait for the Assassin to finish with spying. When I walk out of the meeting, I immediately order the Assassin to spy on the leader of the three factions and listen to their real goal. I only know that next week the Underworld will be attacked by the Khaos Brigade, so they need our help to defend against The Khaos Brigade. I know I sound like a paranoid person, but I don't want to be underprepared if something happens. That's why I need to know their goal before I go to battle.

Anyway, After arriving inside our mansion, I immediately sat on the couch and thought about the Khaos Brigade and the Shadow Servant that would appear on the battlefield.

"Master, What is in your mind?"

I look at Artoria, who looks at me with a little bit of concern.

"I'm thinking about the battle that will happen next week."

"Why?"

"I'm bad feeling that somehow Rizevim was able to summon Goetia with the Corrupted Grail."

"I see…"

I know that I worry too much, but IF somehow Rizevim successfully summons Goetia, then humanity will be doomed as Salomon is not here to help defeat his alternate self.

"I know I am asking you guys too much, but please lend me your strength as tomorrow will be the fight to protect Humanity and the World."

"Hah, Master, you don't need to tell me twice as My Spear is ready to defeat your enemy."

"I agree with my other-self. You don't need to tell me as I will be at your side whenever you are in danger."

"My sword will lead us to victory."

I look at the two Cu Chulainn who smile at me and also Georgios, who unsheathes his sword as if he is making an oath.

"Master, While I hate agreeing with the Dog over there…"

*HEY*

"However, I've seen many battlefields, but this is something special.

Saving humankind is too huge to understand, but as long as you're fighting, I'll be there also."

Emiya says it with a smile on his face while bringing some food to the table.

"U-Um, Me too. I-I will also be here for you, Master."

"Mommy always gives us warmth. If it's for Mommy, we will do anything!"

"Even if it is not the edge of the world, a world like this is beautiful. My spear will protect this brilliance... For that sake, I am by your side - let us continue to fight together."

I then feel someone touch my cheek, so I look at Lily, who smiles at me.

"Fujimaru… No… Ritsuka, We are here to answer your command as we are your servant. Even though you don't tell us to lend you our strength, we will always be by your side and give you our strength anyway because that is what we are, The Servant to Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"En, Help"

"Yes, Ritsuka is my soulmate… My other half… That's why I will stay by your side…"

Seeing their determination, I couldn't help but cry a little as their Devotion touched me.

"Thank you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After that particular conversation, Assassin appears inside our mansion and reports about the three Faction conversation with each other. I must say, Azazel can give Sirzech a good scolding and also give false information to the other people. I mean Azazel already knows about the Servant and their origin, but Azazel chooses to provide incorrect information about my servant being the descendant of themself. Maybe I should thank him for this one.

Anyway, After hearing the report, I was able to release a relief breath because Sirzechs didn't have another goal that made my servant and me in danger. I guess I can forgive him for making us known to the other Pantheon, but the news about other pantheons wanting to meet my servant is worrying, especially the Greek Pantheon. I hear they are the Pantheon that is rather headstrong and stubborn. I don't want to start a conflict between Greek Pantheon and me, but if they search for trouble, then we are not a pushover.

That day after hearing the report of Assasin, I decided that we need to grow stronger. So my servant and I walk to the Dungeon once more to grind some material because I want to make my servant fully ascending.

When the night comes, I immediately roll some Gacha, but this time I use all Craft Essence that helps me grow stronger. After a short break of eating and rolling Gacha, we began to grind again until Midnight and then went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, after eating some breakfast, My servant and I immediately go to the Dungeon to grind once more and come back to the mansion during Lunch Time. However, When we walk to the mansion, I see a woman wearing a full-body outfit that highlights her curvaceous body with metallic shoulder pads. She has long purple hair and red eyes. I know who this woman is, and if I was right, then she is the teacher to Cu Chulainn, Scathach the Queen of the Land of Shadows, or Witch of Dun Scaith.

"Cu Chulainn. I knew you were in here."

"Shishou?!?"

"Shishou?!?"

"...But there is two Cu Chulainn?"

I walk toward Scathach and say.

"Greetings, Scathach the Queen of the Land of Shadows. My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka. If you don't mind, can we discuss this inside?"

We then went inside the Mansion, where Emiya served us some food before I began to speak.

"Pardon me, but can I ask you a question about how you found this mansion?"

"Hmmm? That is rather easy. This mansion barrier is made of Rune that I teach to Setanta."

"That… makes sense…"

"I must say, Setanta, your Rune becomes more powerful than the last time I saw you."

"About that, I can explain."

"Hmmm? Please do"

I then began to explain our situation to Scathach and also told what the Servant is. I then explain about our goal in this world and the situation with Rizevim.

"I see."

"Yo, Shishou, come and have some spar with me. I want to test my skill against you like the old-time."

"Hmm? Very well, but I want both of you to fight me at once."

"Oi Oi Shishou, Don't underestimate us, will ya."

"No No, I'm serious about this, it's been a long time since I fought seriously, So please come at me with the intention to kill me."

After saying that, I lead Cu Chulainn and Custer to our backyard and create some barriers where they will fight 2 vs. 1. Duo Cu Chulainn vs. Scathach.

"Ready… FIGHT"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cu Chulainn lose… I don't know how but somehow he lost against Scathach. The Duo Cu Chulainn even uses their Noble Phantasm, but somehow she still wins against both of them.

"That was a great fight, Shishou!!"

"Yeah, It's been a long time since I had a good fight."

After the fight, I walk toward Scathach and say.

"Congratulations, that was a great fight."

"Thank you, I must say, however, Cu Chulainn has become more mature than before…"

"Hahaha, Really? I don't see it at all."

"Oi Master, what do you mean by that?!? Also, I lost to Shishou because of her experience. If she is younger than I am, I can beat her, but sadly Shishou here is rather OLD…"

*BOOM*

"LANCER GA SHINDA"

"KONO HITO DE NASHI!"
