"Help the Assassin?"

Haru raised his eyebrow when he heard Darnic's request. He looked around and said, "Now, that you mention it, I haven't seen both Assassin and the master of this servant."

Darnic nodded, hearing Haru's statement.

"Kasugano-kun, you might be wondering why Assasin's master and the servant haven't appeared, right? It is because before the Holy Grail starts, the master who is responsible to summon Assassin leaves Romania to Japan to summon Assassin."

Darnic looked at Haru, but he knew that Japan was so big and there was no way for both Haru and the master that he had sent to summon Assassin to meet each other.

"Eh? Really?"

Haru showed a surprised expression.

Everyone wasn't surprised by Haru's reaction since they knew very well that he was coming from Japan so it must have surprised him when he heard that the master that was supposed to summon the Assassin would come to Japan.

Usually, if someone summoned an Assassin type of servant in this war, they would usually summon Hassan-i Sabbah.

After all, the origin of the name of the assassin is coming from the organization that was made by Hassan-i Sabbah in the past.

Historically, the one who became the leader of this organization would inherit the name of Hassan-i Sabbah which was why there was a lot of Hassan-i Sabbah in history since it wasn't only the name of one person or rather a lot of people.

It was also the reason why when someone tried to summon an Assassin type of servant, they would usually summon Hassan-i Sabbah since the name of "assassin " itself was a catalyst to summon Assassin type of servant.

"Because of the previous Holy Grail, there are a lot of people who have investigated and sought the countermeasure of Hassan-i Sabbah which is why if we summon this servant, the enemy can easily defeat this servant," Darnic said.

Haru nodded and understood unless the master of Assassin summoned the first "Hassan-i Sabbah" or "Old Man of the Mountain" which had never been happening before since someone had never done so, then the result of the master of Assassin was only a defeat.

"So that's why we have thought that to send the master of Assassin to Japan to summon another Assassin type of servant since we judged that doing so would be disadvantageous under the current conditions where a certain amount of countermeasures against all nineteen different Hassans have been created over the many repetitions of subspecies Holy Grail Wars. Based on the shallowness of his own history as well, he tried to secure victory with a modern Heroic Spirit."

That was the plan and Darnic also gave permission for the master of Assassin to go to Japan since he could summon the modern Heroic Spirit, however...

"The person that we have sent to summon the Assassin type of servant hasn't come back." Darnic let out a long sigh and said, "We don't know the problem whether there is a problem with the summoning process or he has been attacked by the Red Faction, no one knows what is happening to him."

No one was thinking that Haru had attacked this master of Assassin since he only summoned his servant in Yggdmillennia Fortress and he didn't even know the identity of this master.

Personally, Haru didn't know much about the Master of Assassin that was sent by Yggdmillennia, but he knew who was the current master of Yggdmillennia.

Darnic was of course worried since, without the Assassin, the situation of Black Faction was at a disadvantage. He was worried that the Red Faction had caught the master of Assassin and made an ambush for his group.

Out of all of the people in Black Faction, Darnic felt that no one was better than Haru. The current identity of Haru was his admirer and he couldn't see the lie in his eyes. He wanted to believe in Haru and this request was his test so he could believe in Haru fully.

If Haru decided to go without hesitation then Darnic would erase the worry on his heart and then he glanced at Fiore.

"Of course, I won't let you do this mission alone." Darnic looked at Fiore and said, "Fiore, you should also go with Kasugano-kun." He knew that Fiore also needed a partner to marry and he felt that Haru was suitable to marry the successor of Yggdmillennia. If this went well, the relationship between the two of them might be even closer after the mission.

"Me?" Fiore was surprised at first, and after a moment of hesitation, she nodded and earnestly said, "Yes, grandfather." She looked at Haru and then noticed Berserker who had been glaring at her which made her uncomfortable. However, she looked at him straight and said, "Please take care of me, Kasugano-kun."

"This insect!"

Raikou was furious and her aura was fully released which caused all the people in this place to be tense. When she thought that there wouldn't be any more insects, she thought that she could monopolize him, then there was another one who was coming.

Haru's reaction was very fast and he directly carried Raikou in his arms.

"Dear!"

Raikou was startled when she was being carried in bridal carry style.

'Dear?'

Everyone was confused at that moment.

"Yes, Mr. Darnic. You don't need to worry." Haru nodded at Darnic then looked at Fiore. He bowed his head slightly and said, "Please take care of us too."

Raikou didn't care anymore and hugged his neck at that moment, ignoring everyone's gaze.

"Then I will return first since she might lose control if I let her be here for a long time." Haru let out a long sigh when he said those words.

"Un. You can go back now," Darnic said, and also felt a bit sorry for Haru somehow who had summoned a Berserker, however, when he watched the back of Haru and Berserker, he felt that there was something wrong with their relationship.

Darnic then shook his head and didn't care too much since his purpose was to win the Holy Grail and created a new organization to fight the Clock Tower.

On the other hand, Fiore was slightly lost since she wanted to talk with him before the mission started.

When the meeting ended, Fiore and Archer returned to their room.

"Chiron, who do you think is the True Name of Berserker? And why is she so hostile toward me?" Fiore confused the hostility that was released by Berserker.

"Master, you don't need to worry about Berserker. You should know how "Mad Enhancement" on Berserker affects her mind," Chiron said.

That's right, the True Name of Archer in Black was Chiron, a centaur, half man and half horse, who was known as a great sage among his kind in Greek mythology.

In this Holy Grail, Chiron was summoned by Fiore as her servant.

"But...."

Fiore didn't feel comfortable by Berserker's gaze.

Looking at his master, Chiron really felt that Fiore wasn't suitable as a Magus, but he was glad to have her as his master.

"Master, I might not know Berserker's True Name, but I can feel the aura of divinity on her body, and from her strength alone, I can say that she might be comparable to Heracles or my disciple, Achilles," Chiron said.

"I see...."

Fiore nodded.

"Master, I wonder whether you're worried about Berserker or you want to talk with her master more?" Chiron asked with a smile.

"Wh... What are you talking about, Chiron?!" Fiore was startled by Chiron's question which caused her to blush.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Chiron smiled and said with a tone of an elderly person, telling Fiore that falling in love was a normal thing. "It is normal for a woman to fall in love with someone as fun as him, even I want to talk with him since he knows a lot of interesting things in this world."

"Is... Is that so?"

Fiore was quite curious about Haru and wanted to talk with him more. She closed her eyes and thought about how they had talked to each other on the dining table before and somehow it was very fun when they ate and talked to each other without worrying about anything. and only enjoying the food on the table.

"Well, for tomorrow's mission, you can talk to him and if you really like him, you should tell your real feeling and push him to the bed directly since ancient times love is also one form of war," Chiron said in a tone of sage.

"CHIRON!!!"

Fiore felt that her face was burning at this moment and pouted because she was being teased.

Chiron only smiled and thought that it was a good day somehow, but at the same time, he had a feeling in this war, he would meet someone unexpected.
