Chapter 355

(Jack the Ripper)

【Yggdmillennia Castle.】

【"The Red faction will know sooner or later that we lost Saber."】

【The Count looks out the window and says slowly.】

【"But they also lost Spartacus, so we can't miss this good opportunity for a counterattack."】

【Darnic fiddles with the seven silver chess pieces, looking confident.】

【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 get hung up on trifles, Darnic."】

【The Count says coldly: "If we use a first-class mage 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 understands what the Count means and says lightly: "Then, among my clan, speaking of those who possess such Magic Circuits, realistically speaking, only that fool remains."】

【The scene shifts to Gordes, who has completely given up on himself and is 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, don't want to be treated as a useless piece of trash by others, do you?"

Gordes: "Ugh..."

【The scene shifts to Caules's room, where he is checking the news about the serial killings on his computer.】

【"Then, Berserker, sorry, I'll trouble you to watch the house."】

【Understanding the mission for this trip, Caules immediately dresses neatly and prepares to go out.】

【However, he doesn't intend to take Frankenstein with him.】

【"Hmm?"】

【Frankenstein tilts her head in a dazed, cute way.】

【"It's nothing, I'm just going to help my sister."】

【Caules waves his hand with a smile, picks up his luggage, and goes out.】

【And Frankenstein unplugs the computer's power and nods with satisfaction.】

Irisviel: "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."】

【Shirou Kotomine, who went to investigate, finds Mordred and smiles as he looks 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 says dissatisfied while eating snacks: "Has it really been a thousand years since my era?"】

【"Because the selling point here is retro."】

【Shirou Kotomine retorts: "Speaking of which, you can really eat."】

【"My current interest is eating, now that I finally have a body."】

【Mordred finishes the snacks in one breath and says: "But interest is interest; I won't stop until I cause a big scene."】

Irisviel: "As expected of Saber's daughter, even the love for eating is very similar."

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

Although she says that, Mordred is still a bit happy inside.

Finally, someone admitted that she is very similar to her father.

It's a pity that her appetite is still far behind her father's.

No, she must work hard to increase her appetite so that the gap between her and her father becomes smaller and smaller.

【Shirou Kotomine: "The corpses found by Morgan, the victims all resisted, but they were dismembered into pieces, and their hearts were all dug out. It's truly too tragic to look at."】

【Mordred: "Hearts?"】

【Shirou Kotomine: "Yes, for Servants, it's the location of the Spirit Core; for humans, it's the source of life. Eating the heart to gain magical energy."】

【Mordred: "That's truly terrifying, but I'll look forward to this Servant."】

【Shirou Kotomine: "At first it was just thugs, but after mages intervened, it only targeted mages."】

【Mordred: "There is only one mage left in this town now."】

【"Fortunately, the serial killer case is making a lot of noise, so no one will come out at night."】

【Shirou Kotomine stands up and says: "Let's go, Saber."】

【In a small inn in Sighișoara.】

【"It's about time to move."】

【Rika Sei looks through the curtains at the town that has fallen into darkness and says with a smile.】

【"But it seems another mage has come."】

【A white-haired loli wearing a white dress says.】

【No one would probably guess at first glance that this little girl is 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: "Shall we have one last meal in Sighișoara?"】

【Jack: "Yes, but Mommy, you can't follow tonight. It seems a Servant has come."】

【Rika Sei: "I understand. I will make hamburger steak and wait for you."】

【"Mm."】

【Jack jumps out of the window and changes her outfit to set out.】

【Video paused.】

【Question: Who is Jack's first target?】

"Who is it? Isn't it Shirou Kotomine?"

Darnic is about to buzz in, but suddenly feels something is wrong.

Can this question be this simple?

Shirou Kotomine said he was the only mage in Sighișoara because he didn't know that their Black faction had also sent people.

Besides Shirou Kotomine, there are also Fiore and Caules.

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

Not just Darnic, but Kayneth, Shirou Kotomine, and others also thought of this point.

Then...

Extra Feng Xi: "Shirou Kotomine."

【Ding! Congratulations to Extra Feng Xi for answering this question correctly, earning 3 Saint Quartz.】

Everyone: "!!!"

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

Shirou Kotomine: "... Sorry, I thought this question wouldn't be this simple."

Kayneth: "Tricked again. A very simple question was made complicated 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, Shirou Kotomine, who is patrolling, meets a patrolling policeman and casts a spell to make him go home quickly.】

【"There's no talk of secrecy like this."】

【Just as Shirou Kotomine is complaining, a thick fog rises from nowhere around him.】

【"This fog is... cough, cough..."】
