"Huh? But I am indeed a girl! Could it be that something went wrong, leading to an incorrect record of me in history?"
Upon hearing what Shishikatsu Kairi said, Souji looked utterly shocked. How could things have turned out like this?
"But... well, since Mordred can be a girl, it's not surprising that Okita Souji can also be a girl..."
Shiki-kai Kairi muttered in a very low voice, but he was still a little worried that the unreasonable Saber would hear him, so he could only secretly shift his gaze to his back.
Who knew? You wouldn't know until you see it. After seeing it, Shi Zi Jie Li was really shocked.
Mordred's expression was complex. Tears were still clearly visible on her face, but she appeared extremely excited, yet there was a hint of pain within that excitement.
Finally, amidst the puzzled looks of everyone, she spoke.
"Father! How could you forget your own name?!"
Chapter 282: At this time, Joan of Arc was still working (Please subscribe!)
"Come and take a look! The first tulips of early spring—both their color and blooms are top-notch in Sigisovara..."
"Hello, how much does this golden tulip cost...?"
On the sixth day of the Holy Grail War, Joan of Arc got up early—as for where she slept the night before, thanks to the attraction of her saintly attributes to ordinary people, she easily found a place to stay.
Just as she was strolling through the streets of Sighisoara, preparing to go back to the church to think of another solution, the florist's shouts caught her attention.
Girls love beauty, and even though she is now a heroic spirit, this instinct still exists. Moreover, in her previous life, she spent most of her time playing the role of a commander on the battlefield, so the number of times she could dress up properly was pitifully small.
"It shouldn't be a problem if it takes a little...time..."
With this in mind, she walked into the flower shop filled with a dazzling array of flowers.
"Hello, how much does this golden tulip cost?"
Joan of Arc couldn't stop admiring the bright yellow petals glistening with dew on the shelf.
"You have excellent taste, miss. These tulips were just picked this morning and delivered less than an hour ago. Look, there's still dew on the petals!"
The florist was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties or fifties. When he saw Joan of Arc arrive, he hurriedly introduced her to the florist.
"Miss, you're probably still in high school, right? That's great, you're at the best age. In that case, how about I charge you 1 leu? Consider it a discount for your first order today."
The florist looked at the girl in front of him and laughed heartily.
One leui is roughly equivalent to 1.5 RMB. Normally, a single tulip bulb would cost around 3-5 leui. This price clearly means the shop is losing money; it's practically free.
"In that case, I'll..."
Upon hearing the price of the flowers, Joan of Arc was overjoyed and immediately took out a handful of change from her pocket. Although it looked like a lot, it was mostly barneys (cents).
"One, two, three... I'm sorry to have taken up your time, I only have less than half a leui left..."
Looking at the loose pile of coins in her hand, Jeanne looked a little embarrassed. She should have had some money left from yesterday's part-time job... but she ended up buying Archer coffee and having breakfast this morning (bbbj), so she had almost spent it all.
"Not enough money, this is really troublesome, after all, I'm a businessman..."
Upon seeing the penniless girl with braided hair, the shopkeeper scratched his head in distress. Merchants don't do business at a loss; he had given Joan of Arc such a big discount today mainly to bring good luck, but he hadn't expected the girl's poverty to be beyond his expectations.
"Sorry, I'll be leaving now!"
Joan of Arc blushed so deeply she wanted to disappear into the ground. Honestly! Why did she have to buy flowers in the first place? Now look how embarrassing this is…
"Well, it's alright. But would you be interested in helping out here, Miss? It's not a very troublesome job. See these flowers that were just delivered this morning? Just water them, otherwise they might wilt in no time."
"Once you've finished, you can pick any flower from my shop and take it home. Also, I'll pay you in full, at the standard hourly rate. How about that? Is that acceptable?"
The florist smiled. The girl in front of him was dressed very simply. Even though it was the weekend, she was still wearing her school uniform and didn't have any decent clothes. From this, he deduced that her family's financial situation must not be very good. Perhaps she was a tourist from the countryside visiting the town.
He's still quite willing to do such things.
"Huh? Really? In that case, then I'll..."
Upon hearing her boss's words, Joan's eyes immediately lit up. It did sound like a very good job, but she still had other things to do...
However, at that moment, his stomach, which had just eaten breakfast, seemed to be growling softly again.
"Is it not okay?" Just as the florist thought Joan of Arc was unwilling and was about to turn away, the determined voice of the girl with the braided hair came over.
"I am willing!"
On the other side, the Sigishwara Church.
"You're back, Archer. How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
In the church hall, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, with his back to the green hunter, respectfully meditated for several minutes in front of the tall statue of the Virgin Mary in the center before turning around.
Every weekend is a day for worship, and Father Amakusa Shiro Tokisada has spent every weekend like this for the past sixty years, without fail.
"Their base is a hotel in the city center, where both Lancer's Master and Saber's Master are staying. If you want to go there now, I can show you the way."
Atalanta's voice was sharp, maintaining her usual aloofness. The contents of this information were deliberately leaked to her by Shen Qiu. After all, he had disappeared in Tulifas for a whole day and night, and the priest would definitely not believe it unless he found out something.
Instead of doing that, it's better to reveal it proactively in order to gain his trust.
"No, it's good that we found out. Going there now would be too early... Oh, by the way, have you seen that Lancer in the golden armor?"
When Karna was mentioned, Amakusa Shirou's expression immediately turned serious, which was definitely an extremely unusual thing in this Holy Grail War.
He is skilled with a spear and was able to severely injure Achilles, who possessed the "Hero's Unfading Flower" and divinely crafted weapons, with almost no cost to him. It is almost certain that the opponent is Sevent, or even Lancer.
However, the Japanese boy he had met earlier also claimed to be Lancer, and the powerful and unfathomable aura emanating from him was equally undeniable. This caused Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who always prided himself on his strategic acumen, to fall into a rare state of panic.
It was troublesome enough that one Lancer had escaped his control, but then two more inexplicably appeared.
"The inhibitory force... The inhibitory force... It must be you!"
He waved impatiently at Atalanta to leave, then walked toward the church’s backyard.
Beyond the garden in the church’s backyard lies a desolate wasteland of Sigishwara, where the land is barren and few people live, and it has been abandoned for years.
Decades ago, he spent a fortune to buy this land from the Yggdmirena family—isn't that ironic?
The young priest walked quietly through the corridor and garden, a black and red magical energy flashing across his wrists, and a "door" that had never appeared before surfaced in a corner of the wall.
Hidden within this is the true trump card he has prepared for this Holy Grail War!

Chapter 283: Shinsengumi Swordsman - First Division Captain (Please subscribe!)
"It's unbelievable! The famous Shinsengumi swordsman, the captain of the first squad, Okita Souji, is actually a woman, and she even looks very much like King Arthur."
In the hotel at the Purple Faction's base in Tulifas, Rin Tohsaka still felt it was incredible, even though quite some time had passed since she summoned Ms. Okita Souji.
Mordred is a woman, Okita Souji is a woman, so could it be that even King Arthur was a woman...?
This thought lingered in Rin Tohsaka's mind.
“I need to correct you, it’s not just similar, it’s practically identical. Apart from the hair color, their appearances are practically indistinguishable.” Mordred said to everyone with a serious expression, while constantly scrutinizing the beautiful girl in the pink kimono.
"Alright, alright, since that's the case, from now on our power is pretty much established. Three Sevents, plus me who can rival Heroic Spirits, and the battle-hardened bounty hunter Mr. Lion's Lair, we already have a place in this Holy Grail War."
"Whether it's Black or Red, they can no longer ignore our presence. This also means we will receive more attention, and the danger will increase several times compared to before."
Although the topic was serious, Shen Qiu's tone was relaxed, and he didn't forget to pour everyone a cup of coffee.
"So hot, so hot!"
The moment the coffee was poured, Ms. Souji couldn't wait to take a sip, but unfortunately, she burned her tongue.
"It's not hot anymore."
Shen Qiu gently touched the cup with his right hand, releasing a tiny bit of the power of the Ice Rune, and a thin layer of ice immediately floated on the originally scalding hot coffee.
Fortunately, the cup is of decent quality; otherwise, the sudden change in temperature might have caused it to shatter.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Souji stared at the coffee in front of her, which had suddenly gone cold, with shining eyes, and then drank it all in one gulp. As a modern-day Heroic Spirit, she had basically never seen magic while she was alive, so even though she had gained knowledge of the Holy Grail, she still found it incredible when she saw it.
That is why her magic resistance is only a pitiful E-rank, only enough to resist the most basic magic.
"For Miss Souji, the more suitable class would be Saber, right? Although this time she descended as an Assassin."
After thinking for a moment, Rin Tohsaka asked, "As a renowned genius swordsman, Saber is undoubtedly the most suitable class for her."
"That's right, but the Throne of Sword in this Holy Grail War has already been taken by someone else. Although I don't know who he is, there's no doubt that he must be an extremely powerful swordsman. To be honest, I really want to fight him!"
Upon mentioning Black Saber, her expression immediately turned serious, and her right hand involuntarily gripped the hilt of the katana at her waist.
"That was indeed a very powerful Saber. His real name was Siegfried, the great hero in Norse mythology who slew the dragon. I fought him once, and even though his stats were inferior to mine in every aspect, we were still able to fight to a draw. I can only say that he truly lived up to his reputation."
Karna, who had been silent until now, seemed to become interested after hearing Souji mention Black Saber. It's undeniable that for pure warriors like them, battle is indeed the best topic.
"Yosh! It's that great hero? In that case, I'll have to fight him. Master, is that alright?"
Upon hearing that Black Saber was actually Siegfried, she immediately perked up. Although she was known as the "youngest genius swordsman" in the East at the time, she was not arrogant or conceited.
Or rather, she didn't take the title to heart at all; what she longed for most was to be able to compete with swordsmen from all over the world.
"Well... it's possible, but Assassin, with your base stats, are you really sure you'll be fine challenging that Black Saber? I'm quite worried..."
Rin Tohsaka glanced at the swordswoman's basic attributes with a hint of resentment before slowly speaking.
"Strength C+ to E, Endurance E, Agility A+, Magic E, Luck D, Noble Phantasm C. Although it is said to have descended to the Assassin class, it is a bit too shabby. And what does C+ to E mean? Could it be that it will change?"
In fact, the Assassin class is not known for its outstanding base stats. Most assassins summoned have similar stats, or even worse than Souji.
However, this was unbearable for Rin Tohsaka, who was always proud and arrogant. She was the head of the Tohsaka family and an outstanding student of the Clock Tower. She was first-rate in terms of both talent and hard work, so her Sevent should be even more outstanding.
