1. Before the battle
59 linesYou've reached the leyline! Finalizing coordinates! Dropping magecraft anchor!
Leyline corruption measurements complete! Curse separation and latent ritual coefficient are both holding steady under four percent!
Mystic Code and spell sync authentication complete!
Activating Spring of Arcana Mystic Code spell!
Good, the leyline's purified. Not bad for a quick fix.
I'm impressed!
Uh, thanks, but that was all Chaldea.
？！
Hahaha, don't be silly! I'm talking about your leadership!
You may not be a match for an opponent yourself, but being able to use multiple Servants simultaneously is a rare and valuable skill.
You may still be developing your eye for strategy, but it's clear from the way they move that your summoned Heroic Spirits trust you implicitly.
I couldn't have done anything without them.
It IS possible to be too modest. Trust me, I don't often say something is rare and valuable.
Well, we have been fighting together for a long time.
I see. Time alone isn't enough to foster good relationships, so you must have spent your time with them well indeed.
？！
All right, I've made up my mind. Let's form a temporary contract.
Are you sure?
Don't you need some time to think about it?
？！
I am a Servant, and so can tell that humanity is in crisis. I also learned of the connection between Singularities and Holy Grails when I materialized in this world.
So now that I also know you're a skilled Master, I don't see any reason not to form a contract.
Mo, mo, mo. (Happy, probably)
Now go on. Hold out your hand.
There. Contract formed. Hmm. I can feel your magical energy flowing into me.
Singularities and Holy Grails, hm? I see this world still has a great many mysteries yet to solve.
I've no doubt that Iskandar boy wouldn't be able to contain himself if he heard about this.
I wouldn't put it past him to demand the Holy Grail just so he could fill it with wine.
Now that you mention it...
Yeah. I could DEFINITELY see him saying that...
？！
Anyway.
In the case of this Singularity, it couldn't be clearer where the Holy Grail is located. I'm sure you've figured it out, too.
You mean, inside this castle?
Is that why those knights were trying to stop us?
？！
That's right. I can practically guarantee we'll find the Holy Grail inside this castle, and that those knights are here to protect it.
They may not be too tough on their own, but they're rather more dangerous in groups.
And since I had to stop them from making off with the Holy Grail, there was nothing more I could do on my own.
But now that you're here, things are going to be different.
Oh, now I get it.
So that's why you rushed to form a temporary contract.
？！
Hahaha. That's right, Master, you're going to help me. I simply can't sit back and twiddle my thumbs when there's treasure waiting to be claimed.
Of course, you're free to use me how you see fit as well. A good alliance must be mutually beneficial, after all.
Hmm. He's not wrong...
Since we still have no idea what happened to Taigong Wang, working with a Servant on-site should be a huge help to our mission.
And since there doesn't seem to be any problem with Ptolemaîos's personality, I don't see a reason to refuse.
Okay, it's a deal.
All right. But go easy on me.
？！
Outstanding! Now our alliance is official in name and deed! I'll be counting on you from now on, Master!
Whoa there.
Be careful, Master. I think you're more tired than you realize.
You should get some rest. You can power through physical exhaustion, but recuperation is essential for the mind. Give my regards to my other self when you wake up.
When I wake up?
Your other self?
？！
That's right. You'll see what I mean soon enough.
