Chapter 587

["You and I both look up to the same Lord, so let us each do our best."]

[Hassan of Serenity stands in the shadows of the city, ruminating on this sentence.]

[Caster’s words would likely make an ordinary person who correctly hears their meaning frown and judge them as content to be despised. However, she has no such feeling.]

[She has received the Lord's command. Then, the next step is just to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take action.]

["Lady Manaka. My Lord—"]

[Her black clothing and brown skin almost blend into the night; to others, she likely looks like the Grim Reaper in Western European legends.]

[Actually, it is about the same; on the fourteenth day of manifestation, the "11 PM Death Mary" rumored in the late-night broadcast finally became reality.]

[It started the day before yesterday. How many has it reached now?]

["No matter how many, I will offer them. For the sake of you, who are more noble than the night moon."]

Waver: "What are they going to do?"

Death Mary? Is it the rumor of Death Mary mentioned in yesterday's video?

Sure enough, being able to appear in the video means there is no useless information.

It seems that the so-called Death Mary is Hassan of Serenity, and she is clearly acting under the orders of Manaka Sajyou.

Suddenly, a bad guess arose in Waver's heart.

Not just him, but those in the group who are slightly smarter all have this feeling.

[It is already past two in the morning. If it were for the sake of magical energy supply and soul-harvesting to hunt humans, this time period should be avoided. However, as a Grim Reaper, it doesn't matter.]

[In a dark alley, five men are surrounding a young woman and preparing to do some things that people love to see.]

["Please don't Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take my things."]

[Hassan of Serenity appears behind them and declares so.]

[Whether in the past or present, the creature known as human really hasn't changed at all.]

[Is it just because she is a young woman that they would lower their guard to this extent?]

[A moment later, the only ones left alive were Hassan of Serenity and that woman.]

[Of course, the other party had already fainted.]

[Feeling a drop of blood that splashed back onto her skull mask, Hassan of Serenity was very agitated.]

[Clearly, she still has to return to her master; this won't do, she must clean it.]

["Lady Manaka is not looking at you—"]

[The voice sounded in her head; it was Caster’s long-distance communication magic.]

["Of course, she is not looking at me either. Past, present, future, that person’s clear eyes will only gaze at one person. You know that very well, too."]

["..."]

[Restraining herself from saying a word, Hassan of Serenity did not make any answer.]

[That Heroic Spirit talks to her whenever he has a chance, and she must never react.]

[Because she herself had long understood.]

[Both she and Caster are nothing more than tools. They are one-sixth of the six riders who will fill the Grail.]

[The girl at the pinnacle seeks only one person.]

Hassan of the Hundred Faces: "Serenity, are you an idiot!"

Hassan of the Hundred Faces: "It's just someone who isn't afraid of your poison; is it worth being so obsessed!"

Hassan of Serenity: "I..."

[When the girl woke up, there was only pitch-black darkness all around.]

[Although she couldn't see clearly, there seemed to be many people around.]

[About how many people... ten? It should be possible that there are even more.]

[The only thing that can be certain is that these should all be girls.]

[After all, the news of women constantly going missing over the past two days has been making a huge fuss.]

[A bad premonition arose, the girl wanted to run away, and then, she appeared.]

["Hello, my name is Manaka."]

[The figure appeared just like a doll, shining like a fairy.]

["Do you have any talent? Or patience? You were hit by the diluted nerve poison of Assassin, and you can still move."]

[The girl didn't understand what the other party was saying at all.]

["Ordinary people would become like this."]

[Manaka Sajyou pointed to the sleeping girls, and then pointed to the deeper part of the darkness: "Then, become like that."]

[The darkness that should have been invisible suddenly lit up in the girl’s eyes.]

[She saw countless girls walking like puppets, not tied up, and not being watched.]

["Every single person over there is an important living sacrifice."]

Waver: "Sure enough..."

Rin Tohsaka: "Is she really planning to use human souls to replace King Arthur! And looking at the situation, she started preparing long ago!"

Seigiro Shishigo: "Seemingly innocent and pure, yet treating human life like grass, just like..."

Fiore: "Just like a god, right."

Seigiro Shishigo: "Yeah..."

Caules: "Manaka Sajyou, what kind of person is she—"

[Since things have been said to this point, if the girl still doesn't understand what this means, she would truly be an idiot.]

["That one over there too, and you too. Your lives will become nutrients for that child. Be happy! What a wonderful thing!"]

[Is she happy? To what extent would one have to be happy to show such a bright expression...]

[She is serious. She intends to kill them all.]

[The girl wanted to pray, but her tongue felt as if it were paralyzed, and she couldn't move at all.]

[It seems, she is really going to die—]

[No, she survived!]

[Someone helped her.]

[A boy suddenly popped out, and she didn't know where he had been staying before.]

[Probably a high school student. She couldn't see his face clearly. Because it was very dark.]

["Ta, tsu, mi..."]

[Tatsumi?]

[It must be someone's name.]

[Maybe he came to save his lover or family.]

[The voice was a bit muffled, more like a cry than speaking, but the boy kept saying "Tatsumi" and inserted himself between me and that guy.]

[Very cool.]

Jekyll: "Tatsumi..."

The boy in the video is his Master—Tatsumi Kitano.

He clearly remembers that after Tatsumi Kitano died, he buried the body; it is impossible for him to be resurrected.

So, is it a puppet...

There is only one person who can do such a thing—

Jekyll: "Caster, you bastard!"

Paracelsus: "(Indifferent faint smile)"

Hassan of Serenity: "..."

["Eh? I did hear that Assassin brought a little pet. But... hehe, does the pet's pet intend to bite people?"]

[That guy was about to do something to the boy; the girl wearing the mask, just like when she was cleaning up thugs in the alley in Ikebukuro, 'whooshed' out and blocked in front of the boy.]

[The boy was protecting me, and the masked girl was protecting the boy. It became this state.]

["Please have mercy... My Lord..."]

[The masked girl seemed to be talking to herself: "I... I... am... seeking... why... to the Holy Grail..."]

Jekyll: "Pet! It wasn't enough that you killed Tatsumi, you still want to humiliate him like this!"

Hassan of Serenity: "No... I..."
