The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"Nero, don't do this."

"That won't do." The young emperor was a little unconvinced, "Teacher, the other party really used weapons."

"If I don't fight back, it would seem that I am foolishly kind, right?"

"But--"

Ian's eyes fell on Drake in front of him.

"She... is also a Servant."

"what?!"

A few minutes later.

A group of people sat on the deck of the warship. The man and they formed a circle, each with a complicated expression.

The pirates who had been taught a lesson by Nero before had now completely disappeared, as if they had never appeared on this ship.

A meeting to resolve past grievances is about to begin.

"so--"

"Actually, is this ship your treasure, Miss Drake?" Mash was the first to ask.

"Hahahahaha, yes!" Captain Drake laughed. "Its name is the Golden Deer."

"How about it?"

“Looks impressive, doesn’t it?!”

"Yes, yes..." Mash nodded, "The structure of this ship is so perfect - so perfect that I didn't even realize it was your Noble Phantasm."

"Of course. This is a ship that can completely suppress the same level of ships in terms of firepower."

Drake's fingers gently stroked the deck, his blue eyes, full of vicissitudes, revealed infinite nostalgia for the past.

"I have ridden it through countless storms."

"So even the souls of those crew members were melted into part of the Noble Phantasm?"

Nero frowned slightly, looking a little unhappy about this.

This seemed to remind her of the Golden Theater that she had taken so much pains to build.

"It's really cruel..."

These words were spoken to Drake, but also to Nero himself.

"This is not a smelting."

Drake rejected Nero's opinion without hesitation.

"Those are my family members - they volunteered to become part of my Noble Phantasm."

"I tried to let them leave as they wished, but the only answer I got was 'wherever the eldest sister goes, we go'."

At this point, Drake paused.

“Haha, does this sound like I’m talking nonsense?”

"Not really." Atalanta looked at the laughing female captain and her tone became more serious.

It can be seen that she is indeed listening carefully.

"Since when Nero first came here, they were willing to pounce on her and fight her to the death like this."

"I think--"

"At least it shows that they really have feelings for the 'Golden Deer', right?"

"Your idea does make sense."

Drake looked toward Atalanta.

"No wonder the cat can become a spirit."

"What, what?" Atalanta was a little unhappy when she was mentioned as a cat again.

She actually doesn't like being treated as a cat or something - that would make her look weak.

Except Ian, of course.

Turning into a cat in front of him and then being forcibly pushed down would not be something difficult to accept.

"It seems that you don't like to mention this kind of thing, so let's not talk about it."

Drake's gaze quickly shifted to Ian, who had remained silent.

To be more precise, it should have moved to the sword of promised victory (Excalibur) that he projected.

This seemed to be what she really cared about.

"I always feel that your weapon looks strangely familiar."

"Is it the one that the legendary King Arthur held?"

"By the way, your name seems to be Ian Pendragon. Hmmmm--could it really be that weapon?!"

"The King of Storms, that's a very important identity!"

"..."

Realizing that Drake seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with King Arthur, Ian quickly made the projected sword Excalibur disappear from her sight.

"No." The man shook his head.

"This isn't her weapon—I just copied it."

"..."

Drake frowned slightly, then curled his lips.

"Really? I was so happy for nothing."

"But you are quite capable. Not only can you imitate such a weapon, but you can even block my musket."

"You should know that at a distance of seven steps, the gun is fast, and within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate."

“It’s just practice.”

Ian replied with a smile.

"anyway--"

"Drake, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course." The female captain shrugged, "But let me make this clear first--"

"I'm not an encyclopedia, so the questions you answer may not be answered by me as you wish."

"Don't worry." Ian smiled calmly, "I'm sure you can answer this question of mine."

"Really? Then tell me."

"That--"

Ian's eyes fell on the golden cup placed in front of everyone.

The man did that on purpose, just to ask the question at hand.

"You said you used this thing to drink, didn't you?"

"Yes." Derek answered without hesitation. In her opinion, this was not an issue that needed to be concealed.

“I started doing this a long time ago.”

"..."

"..."

Ian and Matthew looked at each other and fell silent.

The two people who had participated in the operation to repair the singularity now had a vague common understanding in their hearts.

"so--"

"This is a cup you've had for a long time, not one that was handed to you by someone, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Ian's heart sank at Derek's answer.

He has realized that the Holy Grail is not the culprit that caused the singularity, but is merely Drake's collection in a sense.

In other words: the Holy Grail that causes the singularity to appear is something else.

This is also consistent with the message that Fujimaru Ritsuka left for Olga Marie before he lost contact.

Ian took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing.

"Drake, have you ever seen a girl named 'Fujimaru Ritsuka'?"

Men don't actually hold out much hope for this problem.

After all, Oceanus is so vast, and he doesn't think that Fujimaru Ritsuka will happen to meet such a generous female captain.

however--

Just like Ian naturally knows how to attract girls, Ritsuka Fujimaru's actions always seem to be favored by fate.

The moment he heard the name, Drake shouted out almost instantly.

"I remember!"

"Is she the girl with two good friends and a particularly good personality?"

"Eh?"

Ian perked up now.

"You actually know?"

"Of course!" Drake looked at the Holy Grail in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he was recalling the past.

"These three people have been drinking with me before!"

"That guy named Mordred started talking nonsense after drinking, saying things like 'My father is the best in the world' and 'My father is the hero in the eyes of my aunt and stepmother'."

"The girl named Gareth was trying to cover her mouth all night."

As Drake spoke these words, he became more and more happy, looking as if he had tasted fine wine.

But Ian's expression became more complicated.

In addition to Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mordred and Gareth also accompanied her to this singularity.

These two are servants that Ian trusts very much, but now...

Just when the man was feeling sad about this, he felt a warm touch on his left and right hands.

Ian looked and found that Mashu and Nero held his hands almost at the same time.

Although the two people's eyes showed their own differences, they also had a unanimous recognition.

"Don't worry, you'll find it."

Yes.

Of course you can find it. Isn't the reason you came here to do this?

Ian adjusted his mindset once again, and then asked:

"In that case—"

"Captain Drake, do you know where they went?"

"I don't know about that." Drake shrugged and put the holy grail, which she regarded as a drinking utensil, back into everyone's sight.

"Ian Pendragon."

"After they knew this was not the Holy Grail of the singularity, they thanked me politely, borrowed a boat and left."

"..."

Not an unexpected action.

Ian knew that if he was the one facing this situation at that time, he would definitely take almost the same actions.
