A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

Chapter 12 - The next Singularity

"You..." In front of him was the same Saber they fought in Fuyuki, and by the hate at first sight. Different from EMIYA, she was the same as the one in that Singularity. However, she was wearing casual clothes this time. Black mini short, a camisole with a jacket over it and stockings with the same color. 'She really likes black, huh?'

Why was she here?...don't tell me— "You were summoned here too?!" Seth asked, not wanting to believe it one bit.

"Did you get hit in your head that you became dumb, why else would I be here?" Saber retorted.

"You don't have a filter, do you? Well. What could I expect from a brute woman?" Seth said, causing Saber to grab his collar and slam him into the wall next to the door.

"What did you say?" She was not happy with his words, that much he noticed.

'I can play that game too, you know?' He raised his hands and touched her cheek, leaning his face closer to hers till their noses almost touched, he whispered. "This position is a little ambiguous, don't you think?"

Saber's eyes widened. Quickly releasing him, she raised her voice. "What's your plan, bastard?!"

Hearing the commotion, Archer came to see what was the problem. However, when she saw who was causing it, his tan skin became white again. Turning around, he escaped as fast as possible. Sadly, this time it didn't go his way

Saber noticed Archer approaching and her expression became...exited? Seeing that expression the dread in EMIYA's face became more apparent. "Archer, make me ten—no, twenty hamburgers. That should calm my hunter a little."

'A little?' The corner of Seth's mouth twitched. Forget it, better not get involved. He silently left the cafeteria. Not knowing what to do, he kept walking in the hallway waiting to find someone who could tell him where is the Command Room where Romani is located.

'Again that pain...' Looking at this hand, there was a little redness that wasn't there before. It seemed like whatever was happening right now, it wouldn't be long for it to complete. Shaking his head he resumed his search.

He didn't manage to find anyone sadly. With how big Chaldea was and how little staff they had, it wasn't strange. Fortunately, opening random doors he got the right one at the 34th try. Not something to be proud of, though.

From the door, he could see Dr. Roman together with Mash and Fujimaru, there were also three other staff members working and monitoring data in the computers.

As he approached, the group of people noticed him. Romani was the first to greet him. "Hi again, how was your lunch?"

"It was good, I didn't expect a crazy Saber in my menu, though" Seth replied, making Fujimaru scratch his head in embarrassment.

"Sorry about that, Kuro-san. I'm not that good of a Master yet to keep Saber in check." He said, making Seth almost fall to the ground. "Sorry? I didn't hear you well, what did you call me?" Seth wanted to make sure he didn't go deaf with all of Saber's shouting.

"Ahh...sorry. It's just that you told us the name you were using was fake so Mash and I decided to come up with a new one. We thought it was suitable as you are wearing all black." Fujimaru explained. Mash on the side nodded at her senpai words.

"Whatever, do what you want." He is not that young to care about how people called him. Facing Romani this time, he asked. "So? Any news on the next Singularity?"

"Not yet, we were planning to summon another Servant before getting to it." Romani said.

"Another one? How many do you plan to summon?" Seth asked. it couldn't be that good to summon that many servants. Fujimaru was practically dying having to supply mana for two servants back in Fuyuki after all.

Seeing through his worries he responded, "Just one but don't worry. CHALDEAS provides magical energy here so Servants can stay manifested. Fujimaru only needs to supply with mana the Servants he brings with him to the Singularities."

Seth nodded at his explanation before further asking, "How is that you summon Servants?"

Romani took a weird multicolored stone, showing it to him. "With this." Saying till there, he went to something that looked like a mini altar with Mash's shield on top of it. Putting the weird stone in a slot that was around the shield, he returned to his original position.

Looking at the staff, he gave them a nod, which they returned. Suddenly, the slots around the shield started to spin in white light, white lightning also came out from the shield.

While this was happening, the pain returned to Seth's hand. But this time, red markings were forming on his skin. They started becoming more visible with each passing second.

Romani who was gazing at the shining shield noticed Seth looking at this hand, following his line of sight his eyes widened. Weren't those command spells?!

As the markings were finally completed, Seth could see the shape they formed. In the middle, there was the head of a horned serpent, including part of its neck. On both sides of the head were wings that looked broken, like they were pierced and burned. (A/N: CHALDEAS will link the Servant to the Master who is closer to the summoning circle. Meaning that if Fujimaru is closer, the Servant will form a contract with him, and vice-versa. I just wanted to avoid confusion in the future.)

'Isn't this...?!' Seth was brought back from his reverie by a familiar voice.

"Oops! I guess this time I am materialized as a Caster? Oh, it's you guys! We met before right?" The voice of Caster was heard from the summoning circle.

Looking up, he met Caster's gaze. "So you are here too, huh? Man, I didn't know we would meet again so soon" Caster smiled at Seth.

Seth nodded, a smile forming on his face. "It's good to see you again too, Cu."

The Sage of the Forest descended from the altar before putting his arm around Seth's shoulders. "I tell you, you should show some enthusiasm. It's a big reunion, y'know?"

'You know who I'm, what enthusiasm do you expect from me?' He rolled his eyes at Cu's antics. However, he couldn't say he didn't miss them.

Turning to the Master, Cu hit Fujimaru's head with his staff. "I told you to summon me as a lancer kid, what are you even doing?" Although he sounded angry, he was just messing with the poor guy.

As they were bickering, Romani approached Seth. "Hey, aren't those command spells...?"

Looking at Romani before turning his gaze back to his hand he responded, "It looks that way" 'So this was the pain I was feeling...does that mean that person I met in my dream was a Heroic Spirit?'

Returning from his moment of shock, Dr. Roman showed a happy smile. "This is great, now our fighting potential has increased. Now resolving the Singularities will be easier if only a little."

"So? What do we do now? Summon another Servant?" Seth asked, to what Romani shook his head.

"Unfortunately we don't have any more Saint Quartz. CHALDEAS generates a couple of them per week, that was the last one." (A/N: The life of a f2p. I'm making it so CHALDEAS actually makes SQ, because there isn't a "lore" version of them. It's just in-game currency.)

Seth nodded in understanding. The voice of Cu was then heard, "So you ended up becoming a Master? I knew you had it on ya!" He said, approaching with Fujimaru and Mash in tow.

"You are Master too, Kuro-san? That's great! Let's work hard together from now on!" Fujimaru said as he extended his hand with a radiant smile.

Seth looked at Fujimaru's hand for a second before extending his own, shaking it. "Mhm."

Suddenly, a staff shouted making everyone present look at him. "Dr. Roman, we found the next Singularity!"

"Really?! Where is it located?" Romani asked, urging the staff to continue.

"Yes! Please wait a minute..." The staff said as he processed all the information.

"Singularity location confirmed to be in France, judging by the time period it is in the middle of the Hundred Years War!" The staff continued.

"Great, now we know where to go." Romani said before turning towards Seth and the rest.

"I will repeat it again. Our objective is the protection and recovery of human history. Our search target will be each era's relic and Grail. Many heroes of legends will stand against us but we must face them if we want to have a future. As proof of our determination, we will abandon the name of the first mission, First Order. From now on, this mission will be called The Grand Order" Roman said while looking at them.

"Go rest in the meantime while we prepare the Rayshift. We will meet again here in two hours." The group nodded at Romani's words.

Seth decided to show Cu around, even if he just knew where the infirmary and the kitchen were. Mash and Fujimaru went somewhere else.

"I didn't expect to see you here, what happened after I disappeared?" Cu asked Seth as they were walking on the hallways.

"I didn't either, this is as much as a surprise to me as it is to you." He said before proceeding to tell him about the events that happened after Cu was returned to the throne. About that guy Lev, how they fell into the darkness after the Singularity collapsed and how he woke up after a week in the infirmary. He also told him about the strange dream he had, Seth needed an "expert" on the matter to know exactly what was going on.

Listening to his story, Cu whistle. "Man you sure had it rough. About your dream, it certainly is strange. The usual is for a Master to have dreams about a Servant's past and vice-versa, we call this the dream cycle. I've never heard of a Master dreaming about someone who he doesn't have a contract with."

"So no leads, huh?" Seth sighed.

Slapping his back a couple of times, Cu said, "Cheer up! I'm sure you will eventually find more about it. Maybe when you make a pact with a Servant more information will be revealed. I'm a genius, I tell ya!"

'Are you trying to cheer me up or flatter yourself? And stop with hitting my back!' They keep talking until they were in front of the kitchen.

"This is where the kitchen is, it seems Archer was summoned and is now working here as a chef." He said making Cu's eyes open wide like sausages.

"You kidding right? That damn Archer here as a chef?! It would be good enough if he didn't poison my food!" The world was giving him injustices after injustices!

"What are you worried about? You are a Servant, you don't need food. If you don't want to eat, don't eat." Seth retorted to Cu's complains.

Eyeing him like he just had been betrayed, Caster spoke. "You don't understand! It's true that we don't need food, but eating something delicious once in a while is the key. A full stomach makes for a happy heart!"

Rolling his eyes he decided to ignore him and enter the kitchen. However, once he was inside what greeted him was an Archer that looked like his soul was drained from him. Looking closer you could see a little ghost coming from his mouth.

Caster who was behind also saw this. "What happened to him?"

"He met his nemesis." Seth cryptically replied. Setting his gaze to the counter, he could see the old lady was fine and still working. He guided Cu to her and asked if she could prepare food for him. Sitting in one of the hundreds of empty tables, they talked about many things before it was time to assemble in the Control Room once more to start their mission.

Reaching the door he noticed that Caster wasn't following him. "You are not coming?" Seth asked to which Cu just shook his head.

"Nah, this time I will pass. I want to explore Chaldea. Be sure to have fun!" Cu waved his hands.

'Fun? if you are not going and EMIYA looks dead, who do you think will have to go with us?!' This guy was unreliable as always.

Without saying anything more, Seth parted to the Control Room. Once he was inside, he could see that Mash and Fujimaru were already there with Romani and the devil herself.

Seeing him coming alone, Romani asked, "Isn't Caster with you? and where is Archer?"

Shaking his head, he replied, "Cu said he was going to look around Chaldea, while Archer..." He said before shooting a venomous look at Saber who just avoided his gaze. "...is resting due to overworking himself."

"Oh...I see. Then it will be you four this time." Romani said before continuing, "I want you to do something after you arrive there. I want you to find a Leyline and make a summoning circle. That way we would be able to send supplies to you should you need them."

They nodded in understanding.

"How long are you gonna keep me waiting?" A voice came from behind them. Seth recognized her as the woman he met when he woke up, Leonardo Da Vinci.

"You were silent so I forgot you were there. Fujimaru, let me introduce him...no, her...er, it? Um, who?" Coughing awkwardly, Romani continued, "Standing here is Chaldea's pride and joy, the head of our Engineering department, Leonardo."

Mash instantly recognized her as a Servant.

"You can just call me Da Vinci-chan. You don't get to see many pretty ladies like myself around here right?" She said.

'Are you really calling yourself a pretty lady...'

After they discussed Da Vinci's gender, a thing he and Saber by the look of it was not interested in, they decided to start the Rayshift.

Looking at both Fujimaru and Seth, Romani spoke. "We have a coffin ready for you two this time. The Rayshift will be safe and quickly. Remember to establish communication with us as fast as possible. That's all, good luck."

With Romani's words, both Masters entered the coffins. In regard to the Servants, they would be automatically summoned once they reach the Singularity.
