Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 90

“Senpai, Senpai!!!”

Someone was calling out to Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu slowly opened his eyes.

Before him was a vast sky, maintaining its original blue color in this era, with a huge ring still hanging in the sky.

“Thank goodness, Senpai, you finally woke up.”

Mashu let out a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she relaxed, Bai Qiu’s vision was filled with two massive shadows.

A soft touch then came from behind his head.

This perspective, this sensation!!!

There was no mistake, it must be that furry little Fourth Beast again!

If he turned his head, he would definitely hear the little creature laughing and shouting, “You thought it was Mashu’s lap pillow, but no, it’s me, Fou-da!!!”

With that in mind, Bai Qiu suddenly sat up.

“Senpai, are you really okay? Shouldn’t you continue lying down?”

Mashu asked with concern.

“No, lying down will only make me feel more and more empty inside.”

“Hmm, why?”

“Fou…?”

Suddenly, Fou on Mashu’s shoulder showed a strange expression, just like Mashu herself.

???

Bai Qiu froze.

Fou, why are you here?

It’s not important where Fou is, what’s important is… Could it be that I just leaned on…

“Alright, Senpai, let’s go!”

Mashu stood up and picked up the shield that was lying aside.

“What’s wrong, Senpai? You seem unhappy.”

“No, it’s nothing…”

Bai Qiu tried hard to remember the sensation he just felt, but for some reason, he couldn’t recall it.

A gentle breeze blew by.

The wind in Rome is so noisy today.

“Bai Qiu, Mashu, can you hear me?”

Dr. Romani’s voice came from Mashu’s wristband.

“We can hear you, Doctor!”

“That’s great, communication is indeed restored.”

Dr. Romani sounded pleasantly surprised.

“Thanks to Da Vinci’s suggestion, we have converted Chaldea’s electricity into Magical Energy as a stable means of communication. However, we can’t transmit much Magical Energy to you.”

Although they didn’t use much of Chaldea’s Magical Energy before, now they have one less option, but there’s nothing they can do about it.

“Now, it’s the era ruled by the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius. You should be near the capital of Rome. Look around and see if there are any bustling metropolises nearby.”

“Doctor, it seems there are only hills here, nothing else.”

Mashu confirmed left and right.

“By the way, you better not start conflicts with the locals right away. Your mission is to correct the distortions of this era. Use force only as a last resort.”

Dr. Romani advised immediately.

“Yes, Doctor, I also think so.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

“Oh, Mashu, where are the other two?”

Why haven’t I seen Jeanne Alter and Mordred?

“Jeanne Alter-san and Mordred went out early to scout. They should have results soon.”

“What?!”

Bai Qiu was taken aback.

“Boom——————————!!!”

“Roar——————————!!!”

From the top of a distant hill, there came a series of intense explosions.

“Senpai, there seems to be a battle reaction not far from here.”

Mashu immediately looked towards that direction with vigilance.

“It seems like Mordred and Jeanne Alter-san are engaged in battle with the enemy!!!”

“…………”

“…………”

Bai Qiu and Dr. Romani looked at each other.

“Doctor, it seems we have no choice but to do this…”

“Well, I also know that what I said earlier was a bit too demanding.”

Indeed, the moment they brought Mordred and Jeanne Alter, they had already destined themselves to take a more conspicuous route.

“Mashu, let’s go and see quickly.”

“Understood!”

“Fou!!!”

The two of them, along with Fou, ran towards the direction where the sound was coming from, following the hills.

——–

“Sorry, but you can’t continue forward, unidentified soldiers!”

After hearing the warning, Mordred grumpily lifted Clarent and looked around.

Surrounding her were soldiers with raised shields, seemingly trying to trap her.

“Seriously, all I did was ask for directions, how did it turn out like this? Oh well, never mind.”

In an instant, Mordred released magical energy from Clarent.

“Crimson Thunder!!!”

“Boom——————————!!!”

A bolt of crimson lightning descended from the sky!!!

Mordred, at the center of the lightning, remained unscathed, but all the soldiers around her, holding shields, were knocked away by the lightning!

“Mon… monsters!!!”

The soldiers, terrified, dropped their shields and ran backwards.

“Hey, who are you calling a monster?!”

Suddenly, laughter came from not far away.

“Ahahaha, hahaha————————!!!”

The woman in black armor released black flames playfully, scaring the soldiers away.

“Compared to me, that woman over there looks more like a monster, right?”

Mordred grumbled discontentedly.

“Hiss————————!!!”

Suddenly, the sound of a horse neigh approached quickly, followed by a flash of sword light!

“Clang——————————!!!”

Mordred instinctively blocked the strike with her longsword.

After the opponent charged to a nearby distance, their true form was revealed.

A red-haired, gallant young man was riding on a black steed. It was him who had just fought Mordred.

“Just as my teacher said, an unstable factor has appeared.”

He looked down at Mordred with clear eyes.

“You’re also a Servant, right? Do you not have a Master? Would you like to join my side? I can share the wealth I possess with you.”

“Such audacity…”

Mordred’s face twisted into a terrifying smile.

“Sorry, but I have a great Master, and your proposition is just too vulgar.”

She raised Clarent and pointed it at the opponent.

“Our goal, my Master’s and mine, is not something so insignificant!!!”

Mordred swung her sword forward with both hands, but the opponent maneuvered the black steed to dodge the strike.

“Oh dear, didn’t expect my teacher to be right again. Servants are not easily subdued.”

The red-haired youth said calmly.

Mordred swung her sword again, but the opponent still showed no intention of fighting, swiftly evading the attack.

“Hey, are you going to fight or not?”

“I would love to have a fight with a strong warrior like you, but my teacher told me that when encountering a powerful Servant, I should find a way to stall them so that his plan can unfold.”

The youth tightly held the reins and looked at Mordred ahead.

“It seems your teacher is quite arrogant. I despise being manipulated!!!”

Red lightning began to surge on Mordred’s entire armor!

“Come on, Clarent!!!”
