Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

"So that's how it is." After understanding, Ritsuka, Mashu, and Nencho all felt ashamed. "We're sorry, it was our fault."

"It's alright, you are auspicious signs!" Drake patted Mash and Nianzhuo's shoulders hard, as if speaking to himself, and then tapped Mash's shield.

"From what I've observed, you can withstand one or two shells, right?" Drake's gaze was somewhat amused as he observed Mash.

“…Wait, I have a question.” Mashu interrupted her.

The dark clouds have not yet dispersed.

"...Um, since you already knew, why did you still attack us?" Mash stared at Drake's nonchalant expression, her curiosity piqued.

"Haha! Need I say more?!" Drake downed the liquor from his bottle, wiped the remaining liquid from his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "It's because you guys look so interesting!"

“...Just for that reason?” Mashu turned her head away, somewhat bewildered.

"Hey—" Ignoring Mash's reaction, Drake looked at the bewildered Ritsuka. "Um—you're called Fujimaru Ritsuka, right? I heard you giving orders over there just now, are you—a captain or something?"

“Hmm…” Nencho, who was standing in front of Ritsuka, nodded. “It should be considered a similar existence.”

"Heh heh heh, since that's how it is." Drake chuckled and suddenly rushed over, grabbing a bottle full of wine from the ground. "Since that's how it is—come on! Drink up." A strange magical fluctuation appeared on Drake's body.

"As fellow captains, let's get along well!"

"Fou, Fou!? Fou!!?" Seeing Fou's reaction on Nianzhuo's shoulder, Mash confirmed that the strange light on Drake's chest was not an illusion.

“………………Huh?” He uttered a single-syllable word as if he were in a daze.

"Oh, oh! That was really refreshing!" The strange light on Drake's chest reappeared.

“I…I said…Mr. Nianzhuo…?” Mashu stepped back slightly and moved closer to Nianzhuo.

"Hmm... What's wrong, Mashu?" Ritsuka, who noticed that Mashu had moved a little further away from her without her noticing, also looked in Nencho's direction.

However, Nian Zhuo's expression was somewhat strange, because he had also seen that strange light, which was on Drake.

I think anyone who has experienced both singularities will be able to recognize what they are.

—The Holy Grail.

“The Holy Grail…” Mash was completely stunned, her finger trembling as she pointed at Drake’s chest.

"Fu!" Fufu anxiously jumped back and forth on Nianzhuo's shoulder.

"I know, right?" Ritsuka, on the other hand, looked at the light calmly, but a charming blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Mr. Nianzhuo, and senior! The Holy Grail—!" Mash, who had just realized what was happening, widened her eyes.

"We will definitely get it." Ritsuka felt her eyelids drooping and her head spinning.

“No, that’s not what I meant. I meant the Holy Grail…” Mash pointed to the golden cup in Drake’s hand.

"This is also for all the comrades who have fought alongside us so far!" Ritsuka raised her hand, her eyes almost turning into circles.

"Ah, um." Mashu nodded and smiled in response, but then her expression fell again. "...That's not what I meant, senpai!"

"Let's do our best together, Mashu!" Ritsuka wobbled to her feet, approaching him like a ripe fruit.

"Sigh..." Nianzhuo could only shake his head helplessly and walked up to Ritsuka. "Listen carefully, Ritsuka." Nianzhuo held out a palm in front of her. "Now, how many fingers can you see?"

"Ah, there are two Nencho-sensei..." Ritsuka answered in a daze, practically pressing her entire body against Nencho.

"Aaaaaah--!" Mashu ran over for Nencho's safety (?) and grabbed Ritsuka's shoulders. "Please cheer up, Senpai! The Holy Grail! Right now! Right in front of you!" She shook Ritsuka's shoulders vigorously.

"Hmm, why are you all staring at my face all of a sudden?" Drake, who was drinking leisurely, finally noticed the unusual gazes and looked at Nian Zhuo and the others. "Are you thinking of some acquaintance who looks a lot like me?" he asked, shaking the glass of wine in his hand at the three of them.

"No, no...! I was looking at that!" Mash protested, pointing to the golden cup in Drake's hand. "The cup the captain is holding!"

"Oh my, since you've set your sights on this, you certainly have excellent taste." Drake, looking at Mashu with newfound respect, raised the golden goblet in his hand. "While pure gold goblets are generally tasteless, this is a different story. Not only is the wine (or drink) inside in this goblet inexhaustible, but simply placing it on the table has unexpected effects!"

As if demonstrating something, Drake placed the golden cup in his hand on the ground.

Before long, cooked meat and fish slowly appeared out of thin air from all around.

“Look, like this.” Drake picked up the cooked meat from the ground and chewed it heartily. “Fish and meat will keep popping out.” He picked it up from the ground and downed the full glass of wine in one gulp. “I found this by chance, and I don’t think there’s anything more delightful than this.”

"Boss, what are you talking about?!" The henchmen shouted, raising their bottles. "That wasn't a coincidence, it was a grand adventure!"

"Seven eternal nights without dawn, a massive, destructive vortex covered the entire sea surface!"

"Then emerged from the enormous vortex the sunken dream city of Atlantis!" the pirate shouted, mimicking the tone of the voice. "The time has come! In the name of the twelve Olympians, I once again unleash a mighty flood to sweep away civilization...!" The boss lady, who had been arguing with the burly man shouting these words and then snatching his treasure, was simply... well, let's just say she was... well, let's just say she was... well, she was just ...

"Although there was definitely a mistake somewhere, isn't this exactly the heroic figure who saved the world?!"

"Ahhh~!?" Drake scratched his ear, starting to recall, "Was that really that exaggerated? Well, I only bothered him because I didn't like him. That big guy actually called himself the sea god Poseidon, and as a sailor, I can't let him get away with that!" He tapped the table next to him, looking like a little girl who had just pulled off a prank.

"So I stirred up trouble and stole the treasure. In the end, I even sank the entire city into the vortex. It was so awesome!"

Bombey, standing to the side, was also loudly echoing his sentiments.

"Hahahaha! As expected of the boss! A woman who only seems to have good luck and bad luck!" Emboldened by alcohol, Bangbei hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation. "Looks like the boss is destined to be single forever! By the way, boss, you're actually a man, aren't you?!"

"Oh, how delightful! I've made new friends, and the wine is delicious!" Drake patted Bombey on the shoulder, his smile dazzling. "But Bombey's about to be shoved into a barrel for diving!" He waved to the crew around him.

"Come on, come on! Sing! You fools! Golden Deer, crew, sing the ship's song!"

Try to talk to another version of yourself

"Seize the prey~ Drink the fine wine~" A series of strange songs came from the mouths of the pirates who were arm in arm.

"Fou...Fou--woo!!" Fou gave up struggling and jumped into the storage room of the shield in Mashu's hand, refusing to come out.

"Aaaaaah... Aaaaaah...!" Mashu listened with wide eyes to Mary's analysis from Chaldea. "Unbelievable... These people aren't lying!"

Similarly, Nencho and Ritsuka, who were beside them, were also completely shocked by this fact.

“Mr. Nianzhuo, and senior,” Mashu still couldn’t remain calm. “Before we arrived here, the foundation stone of humanity in this era was almost destroyed!”

Mashu then turned her gaze back to Captain Drake, who was drinking and singing a ship's song.

"However, it was... but Captain Drake, who was completely unaware of the situation, decided to resolve it on a whim. As a result, uh—" The gaze shifted downwards, landing on the golden cup in Captain Drake's hand.

However, the golden cup that was just in the captain's hand suddenly emitted a bright light and then disappeared into Captain Drake's enormous, full body.

"Oops." Drake looked at her with a familiar expression, it seemed this wasn't the first time she'd encountered this. "It's crawled into my body again. To be honest, this is the one thing I really can't get used to. Although it's true that with this treasure, I can inflict damage on those invincible guys..." Drake tapped her chest, and after confirming that her heart was still beating, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I really don't know why it has to go in and out of my body, it's really unpleasant."

“It’s that Holy Grail!!” Mash tightened her grip on the shield. “Captain Drake is the holder of the Holy Grail in this era…” Then, as if she felt that she hadn’t said it accurately enough, Mash thought for a moment and then corrected herself, “No, she is the true holder of the Holy Grail, chosen by the Holy Grail because she saved this era…!” She patted the communication device on her wrist.

"Director Mary, Director Mary?"

"Yes, yes. I'm here, so what's up?" A busy voice came from the other end of the communication device, along with the rustling sound of Mary flipping through the documents that were handed to her. "Excuse me, could we talk later? The detection program seems to have a problem. I don't know why, but the program shows that the Holy Grail is right in front of you."

“That’s right! The Holy Grail! It’s right in front of us!” Mash patted the communication device on her wrist.

"..." Mary was silent for a few seconds on the other end, then Mashu subconsciously moved away from the communication device in her hand.

Sure enough, the next moment, Mary's scream came from the communication device.

"What did you say!??"

"Fu!" Fufu pressed her two rabbit-like animal ears tightly against her body, trying to block out the sharp sound.

"Yay!" Ritsuka, who was quite drunk, raised her hands excitedly. "The matter is resolved! That's great! Hooray!"

"Eh..." Mary, far away in Chaldea, hesitated for a second after hearing Ritsuka's voice. "Ritsuka over there, why does she sound unusually cheerful?!"

However, Ritsuka wasn't the only one who got drunk.

"Ouch!" One pirate rubbed his foot where he'd been stepped on, and angrily shoved another pirate in front of him. "Hey, you bastard! What are you doing?!"

"Aaaah!" The pirate in front, naturally unwilling to admit defeat, grabbed a bottle from the ground and yelled, "Hey, you bastard, why are you always picking fights?!"

"Huh?" The pirate's eyes widened as he approached the other person.

"Huh?" The other one, naturally not to be outdone, also leaned over.

The two heads collided, and neither was willing to give in, so they began to struggle.

"Ah, they've started arguing." Drake reluctantly put down his bottle, ruffled his rouge-colored hair, and grabbed the flintlock pistol beside him. "No choice, I guess I'll have to go break them up!"

"Mediation... in a fight...?" Nian Zhuo stared blankly at the flintlock pistol in Drake's hand, as if he understood something.

(Oh right, so if both of them are gone, they won't be able to argue anymore~)

"This is too reckless..." Shaking her head, Mash still gripped her shield tightly and walked over.

However, it would be fine if those two were just fighting, but they were holding alcohol!

They fought hand-to-hand while brandishing the wine bottle in their hands.

Brown liquor kept splashing onto the heads of those around them, which immediately attracted more pirates to join the melee.

"Ouch!" One pirate tried to hit the pirate next to him, but accidentally hit the pirate in front of him on the back of the head.

"Hey! What are you trying to do now?!" Enraged, the pirate punched the other pirate in the nose without saying a word.

The cries of pain and the muttering of the pirates grew louder and louder, like a heated gladiatorial arena.

However, the arrival of these three people suddenly reversed the situation in this arena.

A captain with crimson hair who could knock a pirate unconscious with a single kick.

The casual gesture of the two pirates bumping their heads together was called Nian Zhuo.

And Mash, who, despite holding a shield, insisted on using the back of the shield to attack.

At first, Hai could only hear the pirates muttering to themselves, but now all he can hear is the three men reprimanding the pirates.

—It looks particularly frightening.

However, there were too many pirates. Even if the three of them exchanged a punch or a kick, it would still take a toll on their strength. At the same time, they had to control their strength to avoid killing anyone.

It can only be said that, apart from Drake and Mash who had already gotten used to it, Nenju was the one who suffered the most.

Every now and then, a pirate who hadn't yet fainted would try to attack him, only to be knocked down by his punch.

Unexpectedly, one of the pirates that Nian Zhuo had just knocked out crawled out shakily, clutching a wine bottle tightly in his hand.

Nian Zhuo's actions were a bit too severe, causing this guy to wake up as soon as he lay down.

My son, Nian Zhuo 2, was completely unaware of the threat coming from behind, as he was focused on dealing with the pirates in front of him.

As the pirates behind him drew closer and closer to Nianzhuo, they raised the broken wine bottle toward the back of Nianzhuo's head.
