With Chiron's sensory ability, which was no different from a radar, Fiore successfully found Caules, who was squatting beside a vase in the corridor, chatting with Frankenstein about something unknown.
"Caules."
"Sister?" Seeing Fiore heading in his direction, Caules immediately stood up.
"We are going to Sighisoara tomorrow. Go back to your room and prepare as soon as possible."
"Sighisoara? Why are we going there at a time like this?" Caules asked, puzzled.
"Jack the Ripper has appeared there." Fiore replied, looking at her younger brother with a heavy expression.
There was no need to continue; Caules had already deduced the reason.
Meanwhile, in a hidden tomb chamber in the distance, Shishigou Kairi, who was temporarily staying there, also received a remote communication from Lord El-Melloi II. The destination was also Sighisoara.
"Hiss—!" Daniel, whose saliva was stringing from the spiciness, grabbed the milk nearby and gulped down a few glasses.
"Calculating the time, it should be about right." Daniel wiped his mouth and looked at Sanzang, who was beside him, discussing Buddhist scriptures with Kriemhild and urging her to stay away from worldly troubles.
"Hm? Why are you looking at me? What is 'about right'? Daniel, I warn you, don't you dare get any ideas about me!" Sanzang felt a bit creeped out by Daniel's stare.
"Sanzang, it is time for you to work." Daniel replied.
"My work? What is it? Are we going to fight someone again?" Sanzang asked with a reluctant expression.
"No, this time it's not to fight, but to do the job a monk is supposed to do," Daniel replied. "For example, chanting scriptures for a collection of grudges from a group of children who were tragically abandoned, murdered, and unwanted at birth, washing away their resentment and hatred, and giving them a chance to be reincarnated. Will you do this job?"
"I'll do it!" Sanzang was stunned for a moment, then a solemn expression appeared on her face. "Actually, this is what I do for a living!"
"Hm, is there anything you need to prepare?" Daniel asked, looking at Sanzang. "I could make use of my A-rank Golden Rule, which I haven't used yet, to go buy it."
"No need, I am enough." Sanzang shook her head and replied. "Doing this kind of thing relies on the heart; relying on external objects will only diminish the effect."
"...Are you referring to the Black Faction's Assassin?" Revelation gave Jeanne a premonition of the future again.
"Yes, Jack the Ripper. A little Servant who is currently dedicated to killing Magus, subjectively to continue her own existence, but objectively, is eliminating pests for the people." Daniel said with a slightly teasing tone.
"Alright, next is the grand reveal of Jack the Ripper's information!"
Her true form is the collective grudge of tens of thousands of abandoned children, possessing an inherent skill that can erase her information from the memories of witnesses and opponents at the end of a battle, as well as a Noble Phantasm that has a special attack against females.
"That makes my scalp tingle." Sanzang couldn't help but scratch her arm. "Human malice is sometimes so shocking that one doesn't even want to believe in its reality."
"Mm—" Jeanne also frowned and covered her mouth.
It wasn't that she couldn't handle such information, but mainly because Leticia was still a kind-hearted girl, and it was only natural for her to have an uncomfortable reaction upon hearing such information.
Albedo, on the other hand, remained indifferent, and even had the thought of recruiting Jack the Ripper to be her subordinate.
Not for anything else, but mainly because that ability of hers to erase her own information at the end of a battle was too valuable!
She was greedy for that skill.
"So, master, who are you sending to accompany Sanzang this time?" Kriemhild asked, looking at Daniel.
"No, besides Aura and Shalltear continuing their current work..." Daniel shook his head and replied, "Everyone else will be deployed collectively."
"Such a big move?"
"It can't be helped, because it's going to turn into a chaotic brawl sooner or later," Daniel replied with a shrug. "By the way, if we're lucky, we might even get to see Mordred, who was summoned in this Holy Grail War."
"Mordred? Come to think of it, I do miss that child a little." Artoria paused upon hearing this, even setting down the bread in her hand. "Mordred summoned in a normal Holy Grail War, huh? I'm actually looking forward to it."
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly; Artoria seemed to envision the scene of their 'fatherly love and filial piety.'
"Then, the question is, if Aura-chan is left behind, who among us can drive?" Sanzang asked, raising her hand.
"Ahem." Albedo stood up. "Excuse me, although I am slightly inferior to Aura when it comes to driving, I have studied it for some time."
"Then, should we say something to Fiore?" Jeanne asked, looking at Daniel.
"No need!" Daniel waved his hand and replied. "Since when does a Ruler need to report in when going out on official business?"
"I've already thought of the reason: Jack the Ripper's actions in the Holy Grail War have involved many unrelated people, which violates the policy that 'the Holy Grail War must be conducted in secret'! Therefore, the Ruler has been mobilized!"
Jeanne's face darkened instantly.
To what extent would these people ruin her reputation before they were satisfied!
"Hmm... that's very much in Daniel's style." Sanzang nodded, then looked at Jeanne with pitying eyes.
Consequently, after Fiore went to meet Darnic and then stopped by to discuss preparations with her brother, she came down to find that the huge camper van parked in the castle had disappeared.
"Where, where is the car that was parked here?" Fiore asked, turning her head with some anxiety to the homunculus who was originally responsible for guarding the interior of the castle.
"It just drove out." The homunculus pointed in the direction the camper van had left and replied. "Before leaving, master Lancer also said that they were going to work."
Fiore stared blankly in the direction where the car was long gone, her mouth opening and closing, but she couldn't utter a single word.
And this news had already made Darnic, who had been watching the whole thing with magic dolls, overjoyed.
Could it be that the Red Faction was up to some tricks again, causing the Ruler Faction to set out to suppress them?
After all, the Servants on his side were all staying safely in the castle... except for Assassin, who was stranded outside and had even started committing murder?
Wait!
Assassin!
Darnic's face changed drastically.
He had just received intelligence about Assassin, and not long after, the people of the Ruler Faction had set out to work.
Could it be that their target was also Assassin?
