"No matter what kind of enemy it is, this victory will surely be seized by me and offered to my Master."
Master placed too much emphasis on the enemy, which made Esdeath a little displeased. She took a step forward, just about to make this guarantee to her Master, when another matter suddenly came to mind.
Esdeath pondered again, uncertainly.
Esdeath: "..."
Finally, even her cold and arrogant demeanor gave way to embarrassment, and a blush appeared on her face.
With a strange tone, Esdeath parted her lips and said, feigning calmness, "The last Heroic Spirit, I think I've encountered him before?"
As Esdeath's words fell, everyone looked at Esdeath with question marks appearing above their heads.
We were all wondering who Archer would be, and it turns out you've already met him?
Facing everyone, especially Medea's questioning gaze, Esdeath stared back unceremoniously, but she was truly in the wrong about this matter, completely lacking the capital to resist, and her words softened slightly.
Esdeath actively explained, "Because too many things happened yesterday, I kept forgetting about this matter and didn't think of it at all."
In fact, it was true. Esdeath had been thinking all day yesterday about how to overthrow the small groups of Medea, Lily, and Medusa, and then ascend to become the true main wife.
"Anyway, it's only been one day. First, tell us what's going on with that Archer."
Kisaragi Rin didn't feel there was any problem. According to yesterday's situation, even if they knew who Archer was, it was unlikely that any battle would break out.
Esdeath nodded and began to recount her experience of meeting that Heroic Spirit.
"Before fighting with Master at Homurahara Academy, Ito Makoto and I also experienced another battle, and the enemy Heroic Spirit in that battle was not one of the six classes we currently know."
"As for his characteristics, he was male, capable of pulling me into a special space where there were many strange warriors, and they couldn't be killed no matter how many times I tried…"
Esdeath recounted the information she saw one by one. Since she was still in the Berserker class's madness at the time, Esdeath didn't observe carefully and could only recall the scene now.
Lily listened intently to the information, but found that Kisaragi Rin's originally serious expression gradually changed, revealing a hint of confusion.
"Was that Heroic Spirit red-haired, and was the space covered in yellow sand and sunlight?"
Interrupting Esdeath's narration, Kisaragi Rin pressed with the answer already in mind.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Esdeath asked back.
Kisaragi Rin: "..."
The problem was indeed too big. According to the description, this Heroic Spirit was undoubtedly Alexander the Great—Iskandar, but this Iskandar was a Rider class, not the last remaining Archer!
With a feeling of frustration, Kisaragi Rin helplessly told them, "This Heroic Spirit's true name is Iskandar, and his strength is quite good, but I remember there's no case of him appearing as an Archer class."
This case, of course, came from Fate anime and games. Kisaragi Rin confirmed that this guy's card should only have the Rider class.
"If Iskandar is confirmed to be a Rider, adding Miss Medusa, then… there will be two Riders in this Holy Grail War."
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Medusa and exchanged glances with Kisaragi Rin, also realizing the true nature of the problem.
"Is there a problem?"
Esdeath asked strangely. She was not a native Fate Heroic Spirit and didn't understand these things very well.
Medea glanced at her and explained, "Medusa was summoned by the Dragon Balls as a Rider class, and this Iskandar is also a Rider class. According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, it's impossible for two Heroic Spirits of the same class to appear."
"Now there are only two possibilities. One is that this Rider was created by other players, just like the relationship between Lily and me."
"However, this situation is highly unlikely, because this is not a normal Fuyuki City. It's too difficult to pull another Heroic Spirit from the Throne of Heroes unconventionally. Even I, as a Caster, find it very difficult, let alone other players' Heroic Spirits."
"And the second possibility is that, besides the players, this Fuyuki City, where the supernatural has receded, still hides some existence."
"The appearance of the second Rider, the real problem it represents, is whether this Fuyuki City still hides more Heroic Spirits…"
The rest, Medea didn't need to say more; Esdeath already understood.
The original Holy Grail War took place among eight players and the summoned Heroic Spirits, but now this game suddenly had hidden "guests."
This game was originally a werewolf game, and now even the number of wolves could not be determined.
"Do the other players know about this information?"
Yukinoshita Yukino asked Esdeath.
Esdeath shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. This information was something she and Ito Makoto experienced together, but Esdeath was in a state of madness, so she naturally didn't know whether Ito Makoto had reported it to the enemy at the time.
Moreover, Ito Makoto had disappeared now, and it was unknown whether he had exited the game after completing his mission or was hiding in some corner of Fuyuki City.
With too few clues, Saber looked around and found that everyone had no definite judgment on this matter. Relying on her stereotype, Saber chose to look at her Round Table Knight.
"Does Kisaragi have any clues?"
Hmm… Saber's stereotype of Kisaragi Rin was: Kisaragi Rin is invincible in terms of intelligence!
Her stereotype was indeed correct. Kisaragi Rin did have some conjectures, but conjectures were just conjectures and still needed to be verified for their authenticity.
[Information 1: The Holy Grail War has a referee, and this referee is not fair]
[Information 2: As is well known, a Holy Grail War with seven participants will always have an eighth Servant]
[Subsidy 1 - Information: The opponent has joined this Holy Grail War]
Kisaragi Rin looked again at the message records stored in the paradise bracelet.
Three pieces of information, the first two were exchanged by Kisaragi Rin's A-level sequence, and the third was an information subsidy given by Paradise because of the existence of a pursuer.
Seeing hidden information 2, Kisaragi Rin initially thought that the eighth Servant referred to by Paradise was a Servant like Steve Rogers who appeared additionally through the eighth class.
But when the second Rider appeared, looking at this information again, the facts seemed not to be so.
If the eighth Servant in information 2 referred to Steve Rogers summoned by Soichiro Kuzuki through the eighth class, then why would Paradise additionally give information about the pursuer joining the Holy Grail War?
Since it was a subsidy, why would it give information that was already known?
