Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 141

“Senpai, stand behind me!!!” Mashu manifested her shield and instantly entered combat mode.

“Don’t come any closer, Beast VI!!!”

“Hmm, little girl, you dare to face me like this.”

Beast of Sodom smiled as he examined Mashu.

“But to be blocked by the same shield, even I am tired of it.”

“——————???”

Mashu completely didn’t understand what Beast of Sodom was saying.

“This is the end, Beast VI/S!”

Arthur, who appeared on the other side of the corridor at some point, had already drawn the Holy Sword, aiming at the smiling Beast of Sodom.

“Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet, you’re late.”

“Don’t make reckless moves. At this moment, you don’t have enough power to oppose me.”

“Oh? Is that what you really think?”

Beast of Sodom maintained an evil smile and raised the Holy Grail with one hand.

“Holy Grail?!”

Arthur was slightly surprised.

Shouldn’t the Holy Grail in her hand have already been destroyed by her Excalibur Proto? But this Magical Energy… it does feel like the real Holy Grail!!!

Not only did the enemy escape from the special cage, but they also regained the Holy Grail.

Arthur couldn’t help but tighten her grip on Excalibur Proto.

“Everyone, stop!!!”

Bai Qiu, holding his forehead in pain, stood up and walked in front of Beast of Sodom, blocking Arthur from drawing her sword.

“It’s okay, she’s not our enemy right now.”

“——————？！”

“Senpai——?!”

As expected, Bai Qiu’s words shocked both Mashu and Arthur.

“Senpai, it’s very dangerous over there, please come back!!!”

Mashu was about to rush forward and save Bai Qiu with her shield, but Beast of Sodom used his other hand to wrap around Bai Qiu’s body.

“Don’t make any more reckless moves, or the life of this human’s final Master will be in jeopardy.”

As if their throats were being restrained, Mashu and Arthur did not move forward anymore.

“Master!!!”

“Chirp chirp————————!!!”

Johanna, holding the silver cross-shaped staff, came running from a distance with Tonbi. Martha also came along.

When they saw Beast of Sodom holding Bai Qiu hostage, they were all taken aback.

“I didn’t expect this beast to really escape from the specially set Bounded Field?!”

“Be careful, Master is still in their hands!”

They only surrounded Beast of Sodom in the corridor, without making any reckless moves.

“Ahahaha, Heroic Spirits are indeed just a bunch of foolish fools. They were easily controlled by me, and yet they still think they can save Human Order. How laughable!!!”

Beast of Sodom burst into laughter, almost losing grip on the Holy Grail.

“Hoo… that’s about enough, right?”

Bai Qiu sighed and easily removed Beast of Sodom’s hold on their delicate arm.

“————?!”

Seeing Bai Qiu effortlessly escape, everyone had a puzzled look on their faces.

“You all can put down your weapons too, I’m fine.”

Although hesitant, everyone present followed Bai Qiu’s command and put away their weapons.

“Well, even the most exciting stage play can tire you out, and I am tired today.”

Beast of Sodom nodded in satisfaction.

“As agreed, I have brought you back, so now it’s time for you to fulfill your promise to me, right?”

“…I will handle it properly.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

Previously, trapped in that time rift, they had to agree to her demands in order to come back.

Anyway, let’s go see the doctor and explain what happened.

“Oh, by the way, I’ll allow you to call my true name.”

Beast of Sodom motioned for Bai Qiu to crouch down, then tiptoed and whispered in Bai Qiu’s ear:

“If you have a request for me, call my true name with a desire-filled tone—Draco. Then, I will fulfill your wish, because I am the beast that possesses the true Holy Grail.”

“————?!”

After speaking, the petite blonde girl walked towards the Servants with the Holy Grail in hand.

“Hey, you little girl trying to capture me, take me back to rest.”

“Huh?!”

Faced with Draco’s request, Johanna was clearly confused.

But after seeing Bai Qiu nod in agreement, she immediately agreed.

“I understand.”

She then led Draco towards the special room where she had been kept.

As she passed by Arthur, Draco turned her head and smiled at him, saying:

“Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet, your true target should be on the side of G, not me.”

“——————?!”

Arthur widened his eyes and immediately asked.

“Tell me, where is that beast?!”

But Draco just smiled and shook her head, not answering Arthur’s question further.

“So it’s on the side of G…”

Arthur unknowingly clenched his fist, recalling Merlin’s prophecy.

“When L and R are gathered together, S and G will also appear somewhere under the sky.”

“Now that S has appeared in this world, then G…”

At that moment, Bai Qiu, who was surrounded by the crowd, was immediately stopped by Mashu.

“Senpai, are you okay?! Did that beast do anything to Senpai?”

Then Mashu began to inspect Bai Qiu for any injuries.

“Wait… wait, Mashu, calm down first…”

With Bai Qiu’s intervention, Mashu managed to regain her composure.

“I’m sorry, Senpai, I couldn’t find you earlier, so I was worried…”

“Look, I’m fine.”

To reassure Mashu, Bai Qiu tried to smile.

“By the way, Senpai, let’s go to the infirmary first and have the doctor check you out!”

Saying that, Mashu pulled Bai Qiu towards the infirmary without any further discussion.

After speaking, the petite blonde girl walked towards the Servants with the Holy Grail in her hand.

“Hey, you little girl trying to capture me, take me back to rest.”

“Huh?!”

Faced with Draco’s request, Johanna seemed confused.

But after seeing Bai Qiu nod in agreement, she immediately agreed.

“I understand.”

She then led Draco towards the special room where she had been kept.

As she passed by Arthur, Draco turned her head and smiled at him, saying:

“Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet, your true target should be on the side of G, not me.”

“——————?!”

Arthur widened his eyes and immediately asked.

“Tell me, where is that beast?!”

But Draco just smiled and shook her head, choosing not to answer Arthur’s question.

“So it’s on the side of G…”

Arthur unknowingly clenched his fist, recalling Merlin’s prophecy.

“When L and R are gathered together, S and G will also appear somewhere beneath the sky.”

“Now that S has appeared in this world, then G…”

At that moment, Bai Qiu, who was surrounded by the crowd, was immediately stopped by Mashu.

“Senpai, are you okay?! Did that beast do anything to you, Senpai?”

Then Mashu began to inspect Bai Qiu for any injuries.

“Wait… wait, Mashu, calm down first…”

With Bai Qiu’s intervention, Mashu managed to regain her composure.

“I’m sorry, Senpai, I couldn’t find you earlier, so I was worried…”

“Look, I’m fine.”

To reassure Mashu, Bai Qiu tried to smile.

“By the way, Senpai, let’s go to the infirmary first and have the doctor check you out!”

Saying that, Mashu pulled Bai Qiu towards the infirmary without any further discussion.

…….

“Well, it seems like there’s nothing wrong, but there are some scratches on your body.”

Dr. Romani opened the disinfectant and prepared to clean the wounds on Bai Qiu’s shoulder and arm.

A stinging sensation began to radiate from the wounds.

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts————————!!!”

Bai Qiu couldn’t help but cry out.

“Alright, as long as you change the bandage regularly, it will be fine.”

After disinfecting, Dr. Romani quickly bandaged Bai Qiu’s wounds with gauze.

“But this wound doesn’t seem like it was caused within Chaldea. Mashu told me earlier that you seemed to have disappeared, and even Beast VI disappeared under surveillance. Is there a connection between your disappearance?”

After finishing the treatment, Dr. Romani looked at Bai Qiu with a puzzled expression.

“Well… how should I put it…”

Bai Qiu scratched her head and organized her thoughts.

“Before, Doctor, didn’t you call me to the control room? I just took a detour from the warehouse, and accidentally ended up in the previous Fuyuki Singularity.”

“Ended up in the Fuyuki Singularity?!”

Dr. Romani and Mashu were both taken aback.

“Even with Rayshift, you can’t return to a Singularity that has already disappeared. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“Yes, I’m very sure it was the Singularity that I and Mashu repaired before.”

Bai Qiu nodded firmly, confirming this.

“That Fuyuki Singularity wasn’t eradicated, and I met a Heroic Spirit there. He saved me.”

“He saved you? It seems like a Heroic Spirit from pan-human history.”

Dr. Romani quickly made a reasonable guess.

“Do you know the name of that Heroic Spirit? Or did he tell you?”

“Well, it seems like there’s nothing wrong, but there are some scratches on your body.”

Dr. Romani opened the disinfectant and prepared to clean the wounds on Bai Qiu’s shoulder and arm.

A stinging sensation began to emanate from the wounds.

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts————————!!!”

Bai Qiu couldn’t help but cry out.

“Alright, as long as you change the bandage regularly, everything will be fine.”

After disinfecting, Dr. Romani quickly bandaged Bai Qiu’s wounds with gauze.

“But this wound doesn’t seem like it was caused within Chaldea. Mashu told me earlier that you seemed to have disappeared, and even Beast VI inexplicably vanished under surveillance. Is there a connection between your disappearances?”

After finishing the treatment, Dr. Romani looked at Bai Qiu with a puzzled expression.

“Well… how should I explain it…”

Bai Qiu scratched her head and gathered her thoughts.

“Before, Doctor, didn’t you call me to the control room? I just took a detour from the warehouse and accidentally ended up in the previous Fuyuki Singularity.”

“Ended up in the Fuyuki Singularity?!”

Dr. Romani and Mashu were both taken aback.

“Even with Rayshift, you can’t return to a Singularity that has already disappeared. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

“Yes, I’m very sure it was the Singularity that I and Mashu repaired before.”

Bai Qiu nodded firmly, confirming this.

“That Fuyuki Singularity wasn’t eradicated, and I encountered a Heroic Spirit there. He saved me.”

“He saved you? It seems like a Heroic Spirit from pan-human history.”

Dr. Romani quickly made a reasonable guess.

“Do you know the name of that Heroic Spirit? Or did he tell you?”

“……”

Bai Qiu looked at Mashu, who was also looking at her, and after some thought, she shook her head directly.

“No, I don’t know.”

Now is not the time to tell Kouhai Galahad. In order to use Galahad’s full power, Kouhai must accumulate more battle experience.

If the true name is revealed rashly, unforeseen situations may arise.

“I understand. Anyway, you were saved by a Heroic Spirit from pan-human history, and then did you successfully repair the Singularity and return?”

Dr. Romani fell into deep thought.

“No, if that Singularity indeed existed, it could only have come from another temporal rift.”

“Doctor, what is a temporal rift?”

Mashu looked at Dr. Romani with confusion.

“It’s like fragments of history. Because human history is not a straight line, many illogical worldlines have been abandoned, and the cut-off parts can form temporal rifts.”

Dr. Romani explained, lost in his own thoughts.

“Temporal rifts interact with reality at extremely specific times and places, and even the method of entry is unknown, let alone the means of escape.”

Dr. Romani then looked at Bai Qiu with a puzzled gaze.

“Bai Qiu, if you really entered that temporal rift, how did you come back?”

“Well, actually, I was brought back by the Beast of Sodom.”

Bai Qiu scratched her head awkwardly and explained.

“Ha?!”

“?!?!”

Dr. Romani and Mashu both widened their eyes in astonishment.

“No, no, no, Bai Qiu, are you joking? That’s Beast VI! Even if she changed her Saint Graph, she’s still the Evils of Humanity – Beast VI/S! Haven’t you forgotten that we barely defeated her in the Rome Singularity by summoning Grand Lancer?!”

“Yeah, Senpai, she was the one who was hell-bent on killing us!!!”

Faced with Dr. Romani and Mashu’s questioning, Bai Qiu could only continue to explain.

“Well, I thought the same at first, but it was indeed the Beast of Sodom who found me and saved me in time.”

“Indeed, with the abilities of Beast VI, she can traverse multiple worlds and freely move within temporal rifts. But it’s unbelievable that a being that is an enemy of humanity would save Chaldea’s Master…”

Dr. Romani was shaken to the core for the whole year.

Then Dr. Romani looked at Mashu, who was equally shocked.

“Mashu, you must be thinking the same thing. The Evils of Humanity actually helped Chaldea!”

“…I was wrong about her earlier. I must find a chance to apologize to her.”

Mashu lowered her head, seemingly feeling guilty.

“Mashu, what strange things are you saying? Why are you not acting like yourself?!”

Dr. Romani was too exhausted to comment any further.

“By the way, Doctor.”

Bai Qiu suddenly remembered what Galahad had said to him.

“Do you think the Human Order might have so-called ‘save points’?”

“‘Save points’?” Dr. Romani looked at Bai Qiu in confusion.

“It means creating a tiny Singularity and then returning to that Singularity when the Human Order faces a crisis, starting a new history.”

After hearing Bai Qiu’s words, Dr. Romani fell into deep thought and then said:

“If we want to achieve this to the minimum extent, we must ensure that the Singularity has enough Magical Energy. In other words, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki must continue endlessly. Because once the Holy Grail War ends, this era will automatically move forward.”

“What if we gather ‘drifters’ from different worlds, just like before?”

“No, simply joining drifters won’t sustain the operation of this world. We need something more stable… like the concept of continuous resurrection and rebirth.”

Thinking about this, Dr. Romani shook his head.

“Sorry, your idea is too far-fetched, but…”

Sitting in his chair, Dr. Romani looked at Bai Qiu.

“Even if such a possibility exists, we must correct that so-called ‘save point.’ Because the future of humanity can’t go backward, we can only keep moving forward.”

“…I understand, Doctor.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

Indeed, as the doctor said, human history cannot be reversed. As humans living in the present, all we can do is continue on this path.

“Hey, Romani, how are things going on your end?”

Da Vinci’s face appeared on the screen in the medical room.

“I’ve handled everything here, Bai Qiu is fine. How about your side?”

“Bai Qiu is just in time. Hey, hurry back and deal with those guys!”

“Huh? What guys???”

Da Vinci’s sudden words left Bai Qiu confused.

“I mean those Servants you organized! I’ve received nearly a hundred complaints already! Alright, I have other things to attend to.”

Then, Da Vinci ended the communication.

“…By the way, Mashu, how long have you been out of that room?”

Bai Qiu suddenly remembered something and looked at Mashu.

“I came out to find Senpai because I couldn’t stop Mordred. But then I realized Senpai was gone, and…”

Mashu’s face turned pale all of a sudden.

Oh no!!!

They’re still watching movies over there!

Bai Qiu quickly pushed open the door and ran outside the medical room.

“Remember to come for your medication on time!!!”

“Doctor, I’ll take my leave as well!”

Mashu bowed to Dr. Romani and hurriedly followed Bai Qiu towards the screening room.

Bai Qiu swiftly passed through the corridor and arrived in the area where the room was located. Before they could even enter, angry shouts could be heard from inside.

“How dare you speak of my king like that! I can’t stand it anymore! Conqueror King!!!”

“Feel the Seething Rage of This Planet, Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father! (Clarent Blood Arthur)!!!”

Then, a loud crash.

“Boom————————————!!!”
