"Oh? Don't you remember Mash? Why don't you remember other things?" Katsushika Hokusai immediately became curious.
"Did Master tell me?" Lancelot looked at Tia.
"Master?" Katsushika Hokusai also looked at Tia. "Shouldn't he be Emiya Shirou from this Lostbelt? How is he your Master?"
At this point, Tia's mind was completely blown.
The development of this world had completely gone beyond what Tia thought it would be, to the point that Tia didn't know how to talk to her now.
"Master, he is..." Lancelot almost said the thing about being a Reincarnated Person, but stopped himself at the last second, then quickly changed his explanation: "He saw future things with Clairvoyance. Like how I'll have a daughter named Mash in the future..."
"Huh?" Now it was Katsushika Hokusai's turn to be confused. "Does Emiya Shirou have Clairvoyance? Hmm~~ It seems like he does, the Archer-class Servant Emiya does have Clairvoyance, but it doesn't seem like he can see the future." Katsushika Hokusai mumbled to herself, "This is bad, I thought I had already heard about the Fourth Holy Grail War and related time points from people at Chaldea, but things have still gone beyond my understanding. The Knight of the Lake has become Emiya Shirou's Servant, and this Emiya Shirou can even see the future with Clairvoyance. And the most important thing is that a Chaldea will actually be born in the future of this Lostbelt. What should I do? Won't Chaldea's plans be known by him? If Da Vinci was here..."
Tia, still confused, suddenly heard Katsushika Hokusai's mumbling and instantly realized she had misunderstood, and then came back to her senses. She was just very concerned about Chaldea's plans.
"Um... actually, Master's Clairvoyance doesn't work anymore. He abused it in the past, which caused it to lose its function. Now it's just normal eyes," Lancelot said just in time, seeing Katsushika Hokusai looking troubled.
"Really! That's great~~" Katsushika Hokusai immediately felt relieved. "Oh right, the Holy Grail War hasn't ended yet, right? The big octopus that Gilles de Rais, who was killed in the Fourth Holy Grail War, summoned to cause trouble has run over here. I'm here specifically to take him back."
"Huh?" Lancelot was confused again. "Hasn't it ended already? That big octopus was already eliminated once by the King's Holy Sword. When the big octopus came, the world detected a threat and sent the God-Slayer Senji Muramasa to come into Master's body. The King's Holy Sword, as a star-type Holy Sword, unlocked eight of the twelve seals when the big octopus came, killing the big octopus once. Then, Senji Muramasa used his Spirit Core to help Master forge a new Holy Sword while the King was releasing the Holy Sword, and he bound me and the Holy Sword to become sword spirits of the Holy Sword to bring out the Holy Sword's full power. Then I used the new Holy Sword to completely eliminate the big octopus, but I didn't expect him to appear here again."
"Oh? Grandpa Muramasa? I didn't expect him to do something like that again," Katsushika Hokusai said very naturally, but then mumbled to herself again, "It's actually developed into this... Wasn't this Lostbelt supposed to be a world where evil thoughts were just erased? The direction of this world feels like it's going out of control..."
But Tia couldn't understand what was going on with Chaldea now.
Why was she an Assassin? Why could she cut off her presence to this extent? What was the deal with her cloak? How many people had Chaldea sent? How was this Lostbelt classified by Chaldea? How was it born? How was it discovered? How many Lostbelts has Chaldea cleared? What point in time are they at?
"Again? Has Senji Muramasa done the same thing before?" Lancelot became curious again.
"Ahaha~~ Of course!"
When Tia heard Katsushika Hokusai's words, she instantly understood that Chaldea had at least passed the Sixth Lostbelt.
"Speaking of, Miss Katsushika Hokusai, why did you become an Assassin?" Lancelot asked the question that was in Tia's heart.
"That's right~~ Right, it's my dad who's Katsushika Hokusai. I'm Katsushika Oi! You can call me Oei," the Katsushika Hokusai in front of her pointed to a ball of black mist beside her. "You've seen it too, my dad has become like this, and my original class was a Foreigner. Ever since the evil god ran away, my class has become a Caster. I came here to help my dad recover. I actually got Skadi to help me change my class to hide my identity here as much as possible, so that the evil god doesn't run away again. I borrowed this cloak from Grandpa. It's a great mystic code, right!"
"Grandpa? Miss Oei, I... don't quite understand..." Lancelot was confused again.
Grandpa? Does she mean King Hassan? The only person at Chaldea who is called Grandpa is King Hassan.
"King Hassan? The King of the Old Man of the Mountain?" Lancelot wondered again, and subconsciously said it, after all, Lancelot didn't know and could only understand it literally.
"Oh? You do know, don't you?" Katsushika Hokusai didn't know about the spirit talk between Lancelot and Tia.
"Not really... I just know about this Servant," Lancelot said hesitantly, feeling like he was about to lose his explanation completely.
"But only people at Chaldea know that King Hassan is called Grandpa, right? So you do know! Or does this Emiya Shirou's Clairvoyance even see these futures?" Katsushika Hokusai asked curiously again.
Tia nodded.
"Is that so? What amazing Clairvoyance!" Katsushika Hokusai said, "Okay, let's stop chattering here. The reason I exposed my identity to you this time is because of the big octopus. I actually only came here recently, and because I came alone, I didn't check the situation with Da Vinci and the others, so I don't know what this Lostbelt has developed into. Knight of the Lake, you definitely know about it, right? What's the current situation with that big octopus?"
"I don't know what the current situation is. I only know that he should have been destroyed before, but because of his special existence, he didn't die completely. I don't know why he came here now," Lancelot explained.
Tia listened to their conversation and gradually fell into thought.
Why did the big octopus Cthulhu come here? You have to think about what important people or things are here that can affect him.
