"It's nothing, you stay here, I'm leaving," said Ryougi Shiki, planning to leave again.
"Then I'll leave with you," said Kokutou Mikiya, "I came here to see you, not to live here."
"Then why did you follow me all the way here?" Ryougi Shiki was showing more and more obvious changes in emotion.
"That's because..." Kokutou Mikiya scratched his head, "You're very famous... I want to talk to you more."
Kokutou Mikiya was bold enough to say that.
Ryougi Shiki rolled her eyes and ignored Kokutou Mikiya, walking back on her own.
Kokutou Mikiya immediately followed.
Even Tia was starting to think that Kokutou Mikiya's behavior was too much. If it had been the original Ryougi Shiki, she would have ignored him long ago. It was only because the current Ryougi Shiki's personality had become kinder that she had tolerated Kokutou Mikiya for so long.
But even so, she was starting to get impatient.
"Master, Kokutou Mikiya's plan is good. Using this persistent method to stimulate the outburst of Ryougi Shiki's negative emotions may eventually achieve the effect we want," Lancelot said to Tia in her mind.
However, Tia didn't fully understand Lancelot's idea. After hearing Lancelot's words and looking at Kokutou Mikiya and Ryougi Shiki, she immediately noticed that Ryougi Shiki had started to speak less and less, and the expression on her face had gradually changed from always smiling to being expressionless.
Tia suddenly realized.
So Kokutou Mikiya was doing it on purpose.
Tia immediately followed again, and the people around were still coming and going, with people greeting Ryougi Shiki from time to time.
But now Ryougi Shiki wasn't responding to anyone at all. Tia thought that Ryougi Shiki might really have returned to her normal personality from the past.
Just then, a woman completely covered in a cloak walked towards them.
Tia glanced at her and didn't pay attention, but she felt a strange sense of disharmony in her heart, as if something was missing from her.
"Master, be careful. This woman gives me a very dangerous feeling, and I can't feel her presence at all. If she hadn't just passed by me, I would have even thought she was a non-existent phantom," Lancelot said in a serious tone, "But at that moment, I also felt it. She has the unique aura of a Servant."
"What? Servant? Lancelot, are you sure you're not mistaken? Why can't I feel anything?" Tia was surprised.
"That's because she's probably an Assassin, with a very strong ability to hide her presence. Master naturally can't feel it. I can feel her presence because of my intuition," Lancelot said.
"Is that so... the same inherited intuition as King Arthur," Tia muttered.
"No... not even close..."
But in reality, the skill effects are the same.
Tia muttered in her heart again, but in reality, she was just talking to Lancelot in her mind, so of course he heard it.
"Is that so? Does Master think they are the same?" Lancelot said in a somewhat downcast tone but then left Tia's side, "Master, I'll follow that unknown Assassin to see what her origins are."
Lancelot said and left. Of course, Lancelot had always been in spirit form.
Tia here followed Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Mikiya to the outside of the mansion. Ryougi Shiki was still standing at the door as before, but the smile on her face had long disappeared, replaced by an expressionless face and a mouth that didn't say a word.
"Shiki, why aren't you talking to me?" Kokutou Mikiya said again.
"Shut up!" Ryougi Shiki finally got angry at Kokutou Mikiya, "Leave here, don't let me see you again!"
"Uh~~~" Kokutou Mikiya scratched his head and smiled awkwardly after hearing Ryougi Shiki's reaction, "Looks like I went a little too far."
At this time, Tia just pulled her attention back from Lancelot and also looked at Kokutou Mikiya and Ryougi Shiki. Seeing the reaction of these two, she couldn't help but curl her lips.
At this time, the crowd outside was still coming and going, with people constantly going in and out, and the only change was that Ryougi Shiki simply left.
Tia and Kokutou Mikiya looked at each other, not knowing what to say as they watched Ryougi Shiki leave on her own.
"It seems like things can only be like this. I'll go home first and come back tomorrow. I've completely upset her today," Kokutou Mikiya smiled apologetically, "Ah~~ it seems I have to apologize to her tomorrow, otherwise if she continues to be angry with me, our matter will not be able to be completed."
Tia heard that Kokutou Mikiya was planning to go back now and naturally planned to send him home, so she called out to Lancelot in her mind.
"I'll be right back," Lancelot replied to Tia in her mind.
"No need, Tia, I can just take a taxi back myself," Kokutou Mikiya said.
But Tia wasn't at ease because an unknown Servant had appeared here, and it was hard to guarantee that Kokutou Mikiya, this special existence, wouldn't be noticed, and she didn't know if there were any other unknown Servants.
"I should send you back myself, otherwise it's not safe on the road," Tia said.
"Not safe? How is that possible? Although this world has become so strange, thanks to that, there is now absolutely no life-threatening danger," Kokutou Mikiya said.
Tia shook her head: "That's just because you don't know. Only humans have been affected. Non-humans have not been affected."
"Non... humans?" Kokutou Mikiya said in surprise, "Could that driver be a non-human? But he looks like a human to me?"
"He was indeed a human in his lifetime, but now he is a Servant, a famous hero recorded in history."
Tia had to explain the current situation to Kokutou Mikiya now, otherwise Kokutou Mikiya wouldn't know the current environment. After all, Tia still had to rely on Kokutou Mikiya at the moment, and if Kokutou Mikiya stayed by her side for too long, he would eventually reveal the identity of the Servant.
"Servant? The soul of a hero? Are you saying that the driver, that is, the spirit of your sword, is actually a hero who existed in history? Who is he?" Kokutou Mikiya became interested again.
"The Knight of the Lake, Lancelot."
"What! The most famous Knight of the Lake, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table!" Kokutou Mikiya couldn't help but exclaim.
If this had happened in the past world, it would have attracted the attention of the surrounding people, but now no one stopped to watch. People were clear in their hearts that this would bring psychological pressure to others and was not a good behavior, so they just casually muttered a few words as they passed by, or even simply pretended not to hear it.
