Chapter 188

(Jack the Ripper)

[Yggdmillennia Castle.]

["The Red faction will know sooner or later that we lost Saber."]

[The Count looked out the window and said slowly.]

["But they also lost Spartacus; we can't miss this good opportunity for a counterattack."]

[Darnic fiddled with the seven silver chess pieces, his face full of confidence.]

[The Count: "Sure enough, we still need Caster's Noble Phantasm."]

[Darnic: "Because of this, it's a pity to give up that homunculus."]

["Don't be pedantic about small things, Darnic."]

[The Count said coldly: "If we use a first-class magus as a sacrifice, we won't need a homunculus, right?"]

["That's right; Avicebron's Noble Phantasm will directly reflect the performance of the furnace core."]

[Darnic also understood the Count's meaning and said lightly: "Then, among my clan, if we talk about who has such magic circuits, realistically, it can only be that idiot."]

[The scene shifted to Gordes; he had completely given up on himself and was spending his days drinking in his room.]

Gordes: "!!!"

Darnic: "Don't overthink it, Gordes; for the sake of victory, this is a necessary sacrifice."]

Darnic: "You, having lost your Servant, wouldn't want to be treated as a useless piece of trash by others, would you?"]

Gordes: "Ugh..."

[The scene came to Caules's room; he was checking the news about the serial killings on his computer.]

["Then, Berserker, sorry, trouble you to watch the house."]

[Understanding the task for this trip, Caules immediately dressed neatly and prepared to go out.]

[However, he didn't intend to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Frankenstein with him.]

["Hmm?"]

[Frankenstein tilted her head in a dazed, cute way.]

["It's nothing; I'm just going to help my sister."]

[Caules smiled, waved his hand, took his luggage, and went out.]

[And Frankenstein unplugged the computer and nodded with satisfaction.]

Wife: "This is the legendary Frankenstein's monster? She looks very cute."]

Illya: "Yeah, she looks very dazed and cute."]

Frankenstein: "Mm-hmm..."

[At dusk, Sighișoara.]

["What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."]

[Shishigou, who had gone to investigate, found Mordred and smiled as he looked at her.]

["Of course. I thought I could come here to play, but there are no high-rise buildings or amusement parks at all."]

[Mordred said with dissatisfaction while eating snacks: "Has it really been a thousand years since my era?"]

["Because the selling point here is retro."]

[Shishigou complained: "By the way, you can really eat."]

["My current interest is eating; it's not easy to have a body."]

[Mordred finished the snacks in one breath and said: "But interest is interest; I won't stop without making a big scene."]

Wife: "As expected of Saber's daughter; even the fact that she likes to eat is very similar."]

Knight of Rebellion: "Hmph, don't call me a woman."]

[Although she said that, Mordred was still a little happy inside.]

[Finally, someone admitted that she was very similar to her Father King.]

[It's a pity that her appetite is still too far behind her Father King's.]

[No, she must work hard to increase her appetite so that the gap between her and her Father King gets smaller and smaller.]

[Shishigou: "The corpses found by Morgan all had signs of resistance, but they were dismembered and their hearts were dug out; it was truly too miserable to look at."]

[Mordred: "Hearts?"]

[Shishigou: "For Servants, that's the location of the spirit core; for humans, it's the source of life. Eating the heart gains mana."]

[Mordred: "How terrifying, but I'm looking forward to this Servant."]

[Shishigou: "At first it was just thugs, but after magi intervened, it only targeted magi."]

[Mordred: "There is only one magus left in this town now."]

["Fortunately, the matter of the serial killer has caused a huge stir, so no one will come out at night."]

[Shishigou stood up and said: "Let's go, Saber."]

[In a small inn in Sighișoara.]

["It's about time to move."]

[Rika Sei looked through the curtains at the town that had fallen into darkness and said with a smile.]

["But it seems another magus has come."]

[A white-haired loli wearing a white dress said.]

[Anyone would probably never guess at first glance that this little girl was the legendary Jack the Ripper.]

Atalanta: "This is Jack the Ripper!"]

Achilles: "A serial killer with such cruel methods is actually such a little girl?"]

Darnic: "This is truly unexpected."]

[After all, the impression modern people have of Jack the Ripper is almost entirely of an adult male.]

[Rika Sei: "Do you want to have one last meal in Sighișoara?"]

[Jack: "Mm, but Mommy, you can't follow me tonight; it seems a Servant has come."]

[Rika Sei: "I understand; I will make hamburger steak and wait for you."]

["Mm."]

[Jack jumped out of the window, changed her outfit, and set off.]

[Video paused.]

[Question: Who is Jack's first target?]

"Who is it? Isn't it Shishigou?"

Darnic was about to buzz in, but suddenly felt something was wrong.]

[Could this question be this simple?]

[Shishigou said there was only one magus in Sighișoara because he didn't know that their Black faction had also sent people.]

[Besides Shishigou, there were also Fiore and Caules.]

[So is this question actually a choice of one out of three?]

[Not only Darnic, but Kayneth, Emiya Emiya Shirou Kotomine, and others also thought of this point.]

[Then...]

Feng Xi: "Shishigou Kairi."]

[Ding! Congratulations to Feng Xi for answering this question correctly; he receives 3 Saint Quartz.]

Everyone: "!!!"

Knight of Rebellion: "I told you it was you; what were you hesitating about there?"]

Shishigou Kairi: "...Sorry, I thought this question wouldn't be this simple."]

Kayneth: "Tricked again; a very simple question was overthought by us."]

Caules: "I didn't expect there to be this kind of gameplay."]

Darnic: "Cleverness is undone by cleverness; this question was deliberately meant to make us overthink."]

[Video continues.]

[In a small alley, Shishigou, who was patrolling, met a patrolling policeman and cast a spell to make him go home quickly.]

["There's no point in talking about secrecy like this."]

[Just as Shishigou was complaining, a thick fog rose up around them from nowhere.]

["This fog is... cough, cough..."]
