The effect of the Command Seal activated, and the Hassans from various parts of Fuyuki City instantly appeared around Hayasaka Ai.
Among them, there was even one who had refined [Moment] to the eighth stage.
But at this moment, everything else was irrelevant.
With [Hound of Prediction] activated, Scáthach simply raised her Demonic Spear and thrust it to her side.
The Hassan who arrived there the next moment, intending to make a final stand, was pierced through the heart.
Then came Scáthach's slaughter.
There was no clash, only simple, direct thrusts, like an assembly line operation in a factory.
Watching this scene, both Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai felt a chill down their spines.
In just a moment, as Scáthach finished off the last Hassan, Bond, far away in the Einzbern Castle, received a synchronized notification from the Paradise.
[You have killed Assassin - Hassan of the Hundred Faces]
[You have obtained Hassan of the Hundred Faces's Treasure Chest]
"We've already taken one down."
Because he couldn't speak, and to avoid being discovered by Illya, Bond was hiding in the attic, wagging his tail. Upon receiving the Paradise's notification, Bond was still considering Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai's proposal.
Bond had never heard of the Shinomiya family, but since Shinomiya Kaguya dared to speak like that, she must genuinely possess strength.
The main reason was that Scáthach also didn't want to kill people casually, so Bond had no need to take such a risk.
Hayasaka Ai's Servant had already retreated, but she still had one Command Seal unused. Later, he could try to obtain that equipment item.
As for Shinomiya Kaguya, Scáthach was very eager to try the effect of Shinomiya Kaguya's Command Seal release.
Since Scáthach had already taken a step back and accepted his Command Seals, Bond no longer dared to say things like, "Let them both use up all their Command Seals."
"All the fighting is up to you, Scáthach."
"Do as you please!"
Bond, holding the treasure chest, conveyed.
"Understood, Master." Scáthach looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai beside her and commanded, "Take me to Gilgamesh."
—
Returning to the battlefield of Kisaragi Rin and Gilgamesh.
Just as Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino had confirmed their next strategy, and before they could act to lure the opposing Master in for the kill, he discovered that the situation was starting to go awry again.
Especially Gilgamesh's expression, it was exactly the same as Kisaragi Rin's after fighting Emiya Shirou and suddenly discovering a Gilgamesh had appeared.
Outside the Hospital at this time.
Based on the connection between Master and Servant, Scáthach had already found this place, bringing Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai with her.
However, this space was indeed very special; even Scáthach could not enter it freely.
But she had already foreseen this. Scáthach looked at Shinomiya Kaguya.
Without needing to say more, Shinomiya Kaguya understood her meaning and, quite unhappily, contacted her Servant.
"King, I've been captured by that purple-haired Servant. She wants to enter your space now."
Hmm… what she was unhappy about wasn't Scáthach, but her own Servant, Gilgamesh.
"..."
Gilgamesh didn't think much of it; after a moment of surprise, she knew that Scáthach was not the kind of person who would lay hands on her own subjects.
As for Hassan of the Hundred Faces, it didn't matter if that guy died; Gilgamesh didn't care about him at all.
And Scáthach wants to come in?
Gilgamesh looked at the number of enemies and thought that this might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Then the space was opened, and Scáthach descended onto the battlefield, bringing Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai!
"Medea, King Arthur, a strange Medusa, a strange unknown Servant…"
The moment she entered, Scáthach didn't look at Gilgamesh in the sky, but rather at the other enemies.
Scanning each Servant, Scáthach's purple eyes found the existence she could not foresee.
Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai also saw who Gilgamesh's enemies were.
Shinomiya Kaguya's gaze did not linger on the four Servants but locked onto Kisaragi Rin.
Astonishment, shame, incomprehension…
All sorts of emotions, like a tangled ball of yarn after a cat's play, swirled in Shinomiya Kaguya's mind. Finally, she calmed down and slowly, politely, greeted him.
"Long time no see."
"Kisaragi-san."
Behind those simple two sentences, Shinomiya Kaguya's thoughts had already exploded.
"Why is Kisaragi a player?!"
"How did he appear here, and who is that woman next to him, Hayasaka Ai, three seconds, I want all her information!"
"Wait a minute! I'm currently captured by a Servant, hasn't Kisaragi already seen my disgraceful appearance? It would have been better to die just now!"
"Damn it! The next time we met, I was supposed to beat him down, then walk past him mercilessly, while he lay sprawled on the ground, looking up at the sky, saying he was wrong and that he should be my dog!"
"It's over, everything is over…"
All sorts of thoughts sprouted like mushrooms after rain. Shinomiya Kaguya's expression turned serious, and she quickly stepped forward, breaking free from Scáthach's control, straightening her posture, and fixing her gaze on Kisaragi Rin, awaiting his response.
Then Shinomiya Kaguya saw Kisaragi Rin's gaze briefly touch her face, then move without lingering to the maid beside her, Hayasaka Ai.
"Yo, Hayasaka, long time no see."
Kisaragi Rin said, waving.
The combination of the Assassin and Archer Masters being two acquaintances made Kisaragi Rin a little surprised.
Hayasaka Ai naturally saw Kisaragi Rin, but the icy glare from Kaguya-sama beside her made her completely unwilling to respond.
"You know each other?"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked around and covertly asked Kisaragi Rin beside her.
Kisaragi Rin replied, "Elementary school classmates, plus a somewhat friendly relationship."
Hearing this reply, Shinomiya Kaguya was once again greatly struck and couldn't help but ask, "I say, why are you here?"
Then, before Kisaragi Rin could respond to her, Shinomiya Kaguya was interrupted once again.
"Your name is Kisaragi, isn't it? We can reminisce later; this is a battlefield now."
Saying this, Scáthach raised her Demonic Spear.
The situation was somewhat unfavorable, because Scáthach couldn't foresee Kisaragi Rin, she had no idea that the two of them already knew each other. This meant that the originally envisioned free-for-all would very likely turn into three Masters ganging up on her, not to mention these three Masters had five Servants at hand.
Especially that strange Medusa, the surging magical energy around her even created a vortex, and the spiritual core that made up the Servant felt fear under the pressure.
Just as she was about to activate [Hound of Prediction] to observe the battle situation indirectly through Shinomiya Kaguya, Scáthach saw Shinomiya Kaguya turn and look at her.
She rubbed her forehead, took a deep breath, and asked seriously, "Servant, shall we cooperate?"
