I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

While we were having breakfast, the hotel television was playing the morning news.

"Yesterday, a serious natural gas explosion occurred in the old town of Fuyuki City. A century-old residential building was reduced to fragments in the explosion, leaving a crater several tens of meters deep. The Fuyuki City Police Department's investigation found that the natural gas pipeline was severely damaged, and the incident was determined to be an explosion caused by the accidental ignition of a natural gas leak."

Astrea watched the television, equally curious about it, especially the things being played on it. Although Orario had the Divine Mirror, it felt completely different from this television.

"What is a natural gas explosion? That place looks like it was caused by you yesterday."

"As I said, the Holy Cup War is conducted in secret. As long as you don't break the rules, no matter how much noise you make at night, the people of the Holy Church will step in to resolve it, and that's the result of the resolution. They will blame all the damage on the natural gas explosion."

"everything?"

"Yes, everything! As long as you say it was a natural gas explosion, the residents of this city will believe you."

Astrea was somewhat bewildered. Was this natural gas explosion really that miraculous that it could convince the entire city?

Seeing Astrea's bewildered expression, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood that she didn't understand, but what could she do? This was Fuyuki. Even if a nuclear bomb exploded, it would be a natural gas explosion. In the future Fifth World War Heaven's Feel route, Saber Alter would fire her beam cannon like it was free. Everyone should just go to sleep. Sleep is the most important thing! The next morning, she woke up and saw, "Sigh! Another natural gas explosion!"

"The following is a missing person notice. Two children went missing in the new city area yesterday. If you see these two children, please call the police hotline to provide relevant clues."

"Ok?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the news.

"What's wrong?"

"I was so focused on summoning Berserker yesterday that I forgot about this guy."

Fujimaru Ritsuka started eating faster.

"Is there something wrong with those two children?"

Astrea couldn't help but ask.

"The servants summoned by the Holy Grail normally come in seven classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Assassin, Caster, and Berserker. The one I summoned is the Berserker."

"While Servants rely on the Greater Grail for magical summoning, they also need their Masters to provide magical energy for them to function. I have enough magical energy to support Berserker's activities and battles, but some Masters don't have enough. For example, if Kariya became a Master, his Servants would be unable to fight fully due to a lack of magical energy."

"In this situation, we need to replenish our magic through other methods, one of which is eating people."

"What did you say?"

Astrea's eyes widened.

"In this world, human bodily fluids contain magical energy. When a Master's magical energy supply is insufficient, it can be replenished through various means. However, this time, the Caster in the Holy Grail War didn't want to go through such trouble; he chose to eat people directly!"

"Those two little girls were the supplies he planned to eat."

After speaking, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly finished her breakfast.

"You guys eat first, I'll go out and scout around."

Book 1: 54. Sasiribridana, Saber

Finding someone, especially in the vast city of Fuyuki, is no easy task. Without official assistance, you either need to be exceptionally capable of pinpointing the enemy or have enough helpers to execute a human wave tactic.

Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn't have the help of official forces, but she happens to have enough helpers!

After summoning Lu Bu, Chen Gong's card must remain active, as only Chen Gong can keep Lu Bu under control. In addition, Fujimaru Ritsuka removed Hassan's card and replaced it with Marshal C's card.

While Hassan the Hundred Faces' Noble Phantasm can create clones, creating clones requires mana. The advantage of Caster is that he doesn't consume mana when summoning sea monsters; the mana is provided by the Noble Phantasm itself.

After leaving the hotel, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately took out the Rokujin Castle Manual and began using the detection magic within. However, the results were not very good. Apart from the brightly lit magic workshop of the Tohsaka family, no magical entities were detected in other areas. Frustrated by the failed detection, Fujimaru Ritsuka simply began summoning the little sea demon.

While summoning the little sea monster, he also lifted up the sewer next to him.

With the magical power supplied by the scriptures of the Desolate City, one small sea monster after another was summoned. This time, without the paint they carried, the small sea monsters appeared in their original colors. After they came out, they jumped into the small sewers one by one as Fujimaru Ritsuka had asked, and then began to search along the sewers.

Fujimaru Ritsuka remembers that Marshal C and his Master, Ryunosuke Amuse, hid in the sewers, and that Ryunosuke Amuse would kidnap little girls outside to replenish his magic power and take them hostage.

Therefore, sending the sea monsters directly to the sewers to search is the most convenient course of action, especially since everyone is summoning sea monsters, and they are all summoned through the Sea Monster Curse. Essentially, they are all of the same race. Even if the sea monster summoned by Fujimaru Ritsuka is discovered, the other sea monsters will only think that it is a kind of creature summoned by Marshal C.

In this way, Fujimaru Ritsuka can clearly know the other party's location, while the other party is completely unsuspecting.

After summoning a full twenty sea demons and stuffing them into the sewers, Fujimaru Ritsuka put away the Snail Annihilation Castle Bible, closed the sewer manhole cover, and returned to the breakfast shop.

"Has an investigation already been launched?"

"Yes, I've already sent the Sea Demon to investigate."

"Sea Demon?"

Marshal C and Chen Gong were obtained through Orario; Asteria is unaware of this yet.

"My newly awakened ability allows me to summon monsters to do things for me, and I've sent them to help me search."

"oh oh."

Although she was a little confused, Astrea found it reasonable when she thought about Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity.

“The Caster is hiding in the sewers. There are some places that are inconvenient for us to pass through when we go down in human form. It’s perfect for the sea monster to use for reconnaissance. At least we don’t have to worry about getting smelly. Besides, the sewers are quite large, and it will take some time to find the Caster.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained the reason for sending the sea monster to investigate.

“Especially for Astrea, even if we find the Caster, it won’t be convenient for you to go in dressed like this, so let’s change your clothes first.”

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."

Astrea readily agreed, since Fujimaru Ritsuka was familiar with this place, so she listened to everything Fujimaru Ritsuka said.

After having breakfast together, the group, led by the local Matou Kariya, headed towards the shopping street, where there were many clothing stores, enough for Astrea to choose a style that suited her.

However, to Fujimaru Ritsuka's surprise, when they arrived at the shopping street, they encountered another group of people who had also just arrived at the shopping street.

Long white hair, blood-red eyes, an innocent smile, and a blonde girl in a men's suit beside her.

This team was all too familiar to Fujimaru Ritsuka; it consisted of Alice Phil and Saber, who were participating in this Holy Grail War.

"Alice, be careful, he is a master participating in the Holy Grail War."

Saber, the knight, stood in front of Irisviel, warily watching the air behind Fujimaru Ritsuka. Although the Berserker was not visible, her Servant's perception allowed her to clearly sense the magical power contained in the air.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka, the three Command Seals on the back of his left hand, which were not concealed at all, directly revealed his identity.

Despite Saber and Alice Phil's wariness, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed no hostility and instead spoke with a smile.

“Sassiburidana, Artoria.”

"Nani!"

Saber and Alice Phil both stared in surprise at Fujimaru Ritsuka. They hadn't expected her to directly use Saber's real name, and the way she greeted her sounded so familiar.

"Who are you? Why do you know my name? I'm sure I don't remember ever seeing you before."

Saber clenched her fist loosely, as if she was about to swing her sword and attack at the slightest provocation.

"We may not have met before, but that doesn't mean we won't meet in the future."

"future?"

Saber had a serious expression.

"Impossible. If that were the case, wouldn't it mean you've transcended time, something like that?"

"It's not that it's impossible, is it? After all, your wish is to return to Great Britain, change history, and save your country. If you can't travel through time, how will you go back to the past?"

This completely shocked Saber.

"How could this be...?"

She has only told Alice Phil this wish so far, and even Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't know about it! She has never told anyone else, but they know about it, and they recognized her as soon as they met.

"Are you saying you're my future master?"

"That's right!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded affirmatively.

In the game, a master is still a master!

Which FGO player doesn't have a few Saber characters? Let alone Saber, even just Artoria alone has enough of each class to fight a Holy Grail War on her own, and there are so many that they overflow and can't even fit them all in one Holy Grail War!

Unfortunately, he doesn't have a single Saber King in his possession right now.

It's worth noting that Saber, the Queen of the Sands, has an incredibly powerful passive ability: Heart of the Dragon.

In the game, this skill is very powerful. It strengthens red cards and Noble Phantasms, and turns all cards into red cards, making Saber a super red card attacker with all red cards. Her burst damage is directly elevated to a higher level. In reality, this passive is also very powerful. The Dragon Heart allows Saber to generate magic power just by breathing!

If Fujimaru Ritsuka has Saber's card, setting aside the combat power brought by Saber's card, the mana regeneration alone makes Fujimaru Ritsuka's mana sustain incredibly strong!

Unfortunately, he didn't.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Saber with a hint of longing in her eyes.

Don't get me wrong, he's not after Saber's body, he just wants Saber's card!

Artoria looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her, especially at the longing in his eyes, and her expression became somewhat disappointed.

If the person in front of me is indeed the future Master, then it means that she participated in another Holy Grail War in the future, which means that she lost this Holy Grail War?

“Saber!”

Alice Phil was a little slow to react and hadn't quite figured out what was going on. Seeing the disappointed look on Saber's face, she couldn't help but ask.

Are you alright?

"Alice".

Saber looked at Alice Phil in front of her, wondering what would happen to her if she failed.

She forced a smile onto her face.

"I'm sorry, I'm fine. I made you worry."

After comforting Alice Phil, Saber looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka again.

"Since you say you came from the future, something must have happened in the future, right? And judging from your current appearance, you probably want to communicate with us. Can you tell me about it in detail?"

"no problem."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the shopping mall next door.

"You must be here to shop, right? We're here to shop too. Let's talk as we shop."

Volume 1: Chapter 55. The Master from the Future

Inside the mall, because it was still early, there weren't many clothing stores open, only a handful, but this didn't dampen Alice Phil and Astrea's enthusiasm for picking out clothes at all.

One is an artificial human who, although he has given birth, is actually only a few years old and has lived in a castle since childhood. He has little knowledge of the outside world and is curious about everything.

One is a deity who, although she has lived for hundreds of millions of years, has always been in the celestial realm. After finally descending to the human world, she has been living in a feudal slave world and has no understanding of this new world. However, she can become the mother of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The two mothers, like old acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for years, instantly became best friends after just a few words and started picking out clothes together in the store.

As it turns out, neither androids nor goddesses can escape the fate of enjoying shopping.

Even Alice Phil and Astrea's enthusiasm infected Kariya Matou, and he also went to pick out clothes, except that he wasn't buying clothes for himself, but for Sakura.

The Matou family's ancestral home was bombed, and when he came out, all he had was the same set of clothes he was wearing. Since the two of them would have to rely on each other from now on, and they had nothing but money, they naturally had to get everything else sorted out.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka and Saber, they were in a corner of the store, watching the two mother-like characters pick out clothes while exchanging whispers.

"In short, there were no victors in this Holy Grail War, and the Holy Grail cannot be used to fulfill anyone's wishes."

Fujimaru Ritsuka made no attempt to conceal anything, revealing everything about the Holy Grail War, including all the masters and servants involved, and even the pace of the battles.

This Holy Grail War will be easy for Fujimaru Ritsuka to overcome, because the only threat is Gilgamesh. This guy is not the old Gilgamesh from Demonic Front: Beasts, but the young, chuunibyou Gilgamesh. It is impossible to persuade him with words.

The only way to deal with him is to fight him and eliminate him completely.

Of course, you can also kill his Master to cut off his mana supply and send him back.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a member of the righteous faction. Although Tohsaka Tokiomi has made mistakes, they do not deserve to die. Moreover, Tohsaka Tokiomi is a very proud person who believes that everything is under his control. Persuading him or killing him is not Fujimaru Ritsuka's choice.

Moreover, even if he defeats Tokiomi Tohsaka, given Gilgamesh's personality, he will find another person to be his Master. The Archer class's inherent ability to act independently allows him to remain active for a period of time even without a Master.

Therefore, taking down Gilgamesh is the most direct option.

The most direct way to take down Gilgamesh is to catch him off guard and kill him instantly!

Although it's a bit cruel to Gilgamesh, Fujimaru Ritsuka said that in order to prevent Gilgamesh from becoming a menace in this timeline, it would be better for him to take action and get rid of him. If all else fails, he can just apologize to the older Gilgamesh when he gets an older version of him.

If they can't defeat her instantly, then they'll have to fight a protracted battle. They'll need someone to help wear her down, and Saber is the most suitable candidate. Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka needs to make arrangements with Saber first.
