"Well, didn't I say they were husband and wife?"
"Yes, the love between them is deeper than I thought. They actually broke through the Lostbelt's cleansing of bad feelings, allowing Ryougi Shiki to gradually recover her original complete self. Plus, Kokutou Mikiya's existence itself is very special. This is really amazing," Lancelot said with emotion. "But doesn't this just put things back to square one? Master, it seems we can only go look for that unknown Assassin."
"Lancelot, did you find out anything before?" Tia asked immediately when the unknown Assassin was mentioned.
"I only found out where she lives," Lancelot said. "Let's go, Master, I'll take you there."
"Okay," Tia nodded. Then, still wearing her cloak of invisibility and standing on the Holy Sword, she flew towards the unknown Assassin's location.
In a very ordinary room, the cloaked unknown Assassin sat quietly. Tia and Lancelot had already flown to the door and were quietly sensing the movements inside.
Just then.
"Come in," a voice came from inside the room.
Tia was surprised and thought to herself, "I knew it, she found us out. I thought it was obvious that if we were so openly investigating her, she couldn't possibly not notice."
"I always thought that unknown Assassin was intentionally letting us notice her. After all, if she hadn't deliberately passed by us, we wouldn't have been able to find her," Lancelot also said.
As he spoke, Tia pushed open the door and flew in, still standing on the Holy Sword, then closed the door behind her.
In the room, the cloaked mysterious Assassin still sat quietly. Tia landed on the ground, took off her cloak of invisibility with a wave, and the cloak disappeared.
Then, the Holy Sword swept in an arc and landed directly in the hands of Lancelot, who had now appeared.
"Holy Sword? How did King Arthur's Holy Sword end up in the hands of Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake? What about your Arondight?" The unknown Assassin was clearly very familiar with Lancelot and called him out immediately.
Tia and Lancelot looked at each other, then Lancelot asked, "Who exactly are you! Why did you deliberately lead us here!"
That's right, now Tia and Lancelot both understood that this mysterious Assassin had deliberately led them there.
"See who I am!" The unknown Assassin said, standing up and throwing off the cloak. At the moment the cloak was thrown off, Tia clearly saw the clothes underneath flash for a moment, revealing a very familiar black kimono with red and white patterns. Her gold belt had huge red flowers on it, and there were also two huge red flower ornaments and other ornaments on her head. With a wave of her hand, a paintbrush as tall as she was appeared, and a cloud of black mist swirled around her.
"Hokusai!" Tia was stunned for a moment, then immediately called out her name. "Why are you here? Why has your class changed to Assassin? You still look like a Foreigner!"
As Tia spoke, she thought to herself that it was no wonder her voice sounded a bit familiar, it was A-E.
"Oh, he came over, so naturally I had to come too. As for why I'm an Assassin now and not a Foreigner, that's why I came here," Hokusai said matter-of-factly. "Didn't you see that Daddy, who should have been floating beside me, has turned into this shape~~"
As Hokusai spoke, she pointed to the cloud of black mist beside her.
He?
Tia didn't quite understand who she was referring to, but after seeing the black mist, Tia suddenly realized something.
The Servant Hokusai is actually a complete Foreigner, consisting of the painter Katsushika Hokusai + Hokusai's daughter Katsushika Oi (nickname A-E), plus that Outer God (Elder God) Cthulhu.
Hokusai was noticed by Cthulhu, who wanted to use the body of the painter Hokusai to come to the world. But Hokusai didn't want to be used by Cthulhu unilaterally, so she rejected Cthulhu's temptation and used the existence of her daughter Katsushika Oi to keep Cthulhu in her body, causing Hokusai herself to become an octopus, and Katsushika Oi to descend as the main body of the Servant concept of Hokusai.
But now the octopus Daddy, who should have been beside the Servant Hokusai, was gone and had turned into a cloud of black mist, and the class had also changed to Assassin. Plus, the Cthulhu summoned by Gilles de Rais before...
So that's how it is. Cthulhu left Hokusai's body, causing the concept of the Foreigner Hokusai to no longer exist, and thus she became an Assassin?
So you can play like that?
But is the painter Hokusai originally an Assassin after becoming a Servant? Shouldn't she be a Saber or a Caster?
Tia said that she had learned something new again, and had actually seen such a bizarre situation.
Lancelot listened to Tia muttering to herself the whole time, and couldn't help but ask directly, "Could it be that the Great Octopus God summoned by Gilles de Rais that we killed before was the Outer God Cthulhu from the Foreigner Hokusai?"
"That's right! So it seems the Knight of the Lake still remembers my matter. Didn't you say that all the Servants who were originally summoned from Chaldea to this Lostbelt to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War would have their memories erased by the Lostbelt itself?" Hokusai casually said an extremely important thing.
Lancelot naturally didn't understand what was going on.
But Tia was instantly dumbfounded.
Just now... what did she say?
All the Servants originally summoned from Chaldea to this Lostbelt to participate in the Fourth Holy Grail War will have their memories erased by the Lostbelt itself?
What the hell!
This Lostbelt has already been explored by Chaldea! And there are already Servants sent from Chaldea to prepare to destroy this Lostbelt! Even Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash might have already arrived!
But if that's the case, then what am I?
"Mash is here?" Lancelot only heard that sentence, and didn't understand what Tia was saying.
"Yes, Mash is here too! So you do remember! Knight of the Lake! Can you tell me how you avoided having your memories erased by the Lostbelt?"
"Huh?" Lancelot was a bit confused when he heard Hokusai's words. "Were my memories erased? I don't know anything about that."
