"It's a self-enforced contract. If you betray me, you will die." Caster repeated. She paused and then said, "Not really. As long as I can recite the spell, I am quite confident in my magic. But there is one thing I did not lie about - I will bite my tongue if I recite the spell too fast."
Ritsuka Fujimaru opened her mouth wide, her eyes half-closed in discomfort. Seeing Caster like that, she wanted to tell him everything about Menachel and Saber!
Caster's eyes suddenly became serious as if he saw through her horrible thoughts, and he ended the conversation by taking the initiative to extinguish Fujimaru Ritsuka's dangerous thoughts: "Aren't you going to sleep yet? The war will officially start tomorrow. The next period of time will be very busy. If you don't rest well, you will definitely die suddenly."
Caster half closed her eyes as she said this and drove Fujimaru Ritsuka to the only bed in the house like a child. She then covered the girl with a blanket and chanted magic in a low voice to give her the attribute of [keeping warm].
"Go to sleep quickly."
Caster said as he put out the fire. In the suddenly darkened room, Caster's figure could only be barely seen.
"Then Minachell... um." Feeling a little awkward, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued, "You should also go to bed early."
"I'm a Servant, I don't need to rest." Caster said calmly: "I will keep watch."
After saying this, Caster did not speak again. Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had been forcing herself to stay awake, was quickly swallowed by sleepiness while lying on the bed. She slowly closed her eyes.
Gradually, the girl's breathing became long and steady. Caster waved her hand in front of the girl, and after confirming that Fujimaru Ritsuka had no reaction, her palm condensed into blue magic power again. The blue light covered Fujimaru Ritsuka's forehead without any movement.
——This will at least allow the child to sleep until tomorrow morning.
Caster lifted her hood, revealing two elf-like pointed ears hidden under her silver hair. She reached out her hand to examine the spell on Fujimaru Ritsuka's body, and only after confirming that there were no loopholes did Caster breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the peaceful sleeping face of the girl, Caster lowered his eyebrows slightly. The girl at this moment showed the same peacefulness as she did at the beginning, like a well-behaved sheep.
"Just continue to remain ignorant, Chaldea. This is also a kind of happiness for you."
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, Caster's eyes suddenly turned cold. She turned towards the cellar, her different-colored pupils, one blue and one gold, emitting a faint fluorescence in the darkness. She had to take this opportunity to clean up the tail that she had not had time to clean up before.
The first few chapters are mainly to provide clues and support the subsequent plot.
I have an exam tomorrow, so I sent it out today.

Chapter 208 The Beginning of the Fifth Parade
2023-07-29
[…Master]
[Don't leave Caster, you are safe until you see me]
【…】
[When we meet again, don't touch the Holy Grail, don't light up the stars, don't complete the tour, please leave the dream and don't come back]
[I’m sorry… Master, I’m sorry that I have to do this. I’ve already fallen into a dream and I can’t save you.]
Unable to remember the specific plot of the dream, nor what she saw, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly opened her eyes and saw a wooden house covered with a layer of golden light in the daylight.
The sunlight sprinkled on the green plants growing wildly on the wooden window frame. The tiny dust particles floated in the air under the sunlight, and then gently floated to her. She was stunned by such a scene and could not come back to her senses for a long time.
"Fujimaru, you're awake."
She heard Caster's voice coming from outside the house. The girl stood up from the ground, touching the cold wall. The pain in her body had obviously improved. When she walked outside, the first thing she saw was a dense forest, and the wooden house stood in the center of the dense forest. But looking further away, the farther part of the dense forest was wrapped in a layer of hazy white mist. The white dots were like a dream, making it impossible to distinguish the sky in the distance, and the sun was hanging on the edge of such a boundary.
She originally thought that the unclear vision was caused by the heavy rain yesterday which obscured her view, but today she found that this was not the case.
"Did you notice? The strange phenomenon here."
Hearing the voice again, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head slightly and saw a girl in a light gray robe. There was a little dust on the girl's body, making the already gloomy tone even darker.
"what is that."
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked.
That is obviously not something that should appear in the normal world.
"I don't know. There has never been such anomalies in the era I have lived in." Caster's answer was very decisive. She looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said calmly: "This is the anomaly that you and I need to solve."
"I sent my familiar out to investigate last night, but it lost touch with my perception for a moment when it passed through the thick white fog."
"The familiar disappeared?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru guessed the possible results and considered the possibility that the Demon Pillar was outside the white fog.
Caster glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and shook his head in denial, "No, the next time I sensed it, it appeared over Lihe City, a Camelot away from here. In order to prevent being tracked back, I immediately let the familiar self-destruct."
After a pause, Caster looked into Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes and continued, "The only way I can think of that is a teleportation method beyond my understanding is the scene when I first returned from the Fairyland. I clearly entered from the forest of Wangling, but when I came out, I found myself in another country."
Following Caster's train of thought, an absurd idea came into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind. She couldn't help but ask her only companion beside her for confirmation: "Could it be that outside, outside the white fog, is already the fairyland?"
"Perhaps this is the only way to explain why fairies appear in the human world." Caster lowered her eyes and confirmed Fujimaru Ritsuka's guess. She reached out her hand from under her robe and handed a bright silver pentagram in her palm to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"This is the gift I made last night. It can help me locate you." She placed the silver star on Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand and looked at the girl deeply. "Don't let yourself be captured by unknown fairies. I may not be able to take care of your situation while dealing with them."
Recalling the images of goblins in the picture album and Sese's comics, Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully put the silver star into his arms while assuring him, "If I encounter a goblin, I will definitely ask you for help."
"Not just goblins." Caster tucked himself back into his robes.
"So are we going to go check out the outside?"
"It can be seen that you are well protected." Caster gave her a mocking look: "You act rashly before understanding the situation. Aren't you afraid of dying outside?"
Knowing that he had asked the wrong question, Fujimaru Ritsuka shrank his head and accepted Caster's ridicule.
"Your outfit is too eye-catching." Caster threw a robe of the same style as hers to Fujimaru Ritsuka. She turned around with her eyes drooping, but her voice was still cold: "The Fairyland is just my guess after all. I plan to go to Satogawa Castle where the familiar appears again."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, her "Master", really seems to know nothing about the occult.
……
It is Britain and it is not Britain.
Even the illusion that was like a barrier that isolated the area could not separate it.
This is the back side of the world, where fairies live.
On a tree vine covered with strange branches and leaves lay the body of a woman with pink and white hair. Fairies, as small as palms, were hovering around the woman, calling out to her anxiously. A bright green light was flowing over her body.
At one moment the woman's fingers trembled, and the next moment her eyes suddenly opened.
The little fairies quickly noticed this scene. They danced around the woman with joy and made strange syllables. This was a language unique to fairies, but she, who had nightmare blood flowing in her veins, could easily understand the fairies' words.
"Great, he's awake, Merlin is awake, great."
Merlin did not rush to sit up. She remained in a prone position and carefully observed her surroundings. She heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that there was no silver-haired loli who was out to betray her teacher and ancestors.
——Both of her disciples really didn’t hold back at all!
If Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't woken up at that moment, and if she hadn't successfully delayed until night, she really wouldn't have been able to escape into the fairy realm.
"Lancelot is coming, Lancelot is coming."
The goblins around them were still chirping and chattering, but Merlin was stunned by the all too familiar name.
Come to think of it, I have never seen the Lancelot of this era - is he still in the utopia?
There were footsteps in his ears, and then a steady and powerful male voice sounded in Merlin's ears:
"Strange goblin, you seem to be seriously injured."
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Merlin smiled gently. When she lowered her eyebrows and was thinking about how to persuade Lancelot to help her, she heard Lancelot's slightly embarrassed voice: "I heard from the goblins here that you came from Camelot. Can you tell me how you got there?"
Merlin blinked, and she quickly figured out the cause and effect - so that's why Lancelot stayed in Utopia because he couldn't enter Camelot.
At this time, Lancelot continued:
"I have been commissioned by the Mirror Fairy to bring back the human who killed her companion."
"I can take you there," Merlin said with a smile, and she sat up eagerly, "I also know who the person you are looking for is."
Looking at Merlin's attentive smile, Lancelot instinctively felt a little uneasy, but he still thanked him politely: "Then, thank you for your help."
I can only say that the message on the title page of each volume is a very important hint.

Chapter 209 Act Maximizing Losses
2023-07-29
The night gradually darkened, but there was nothing around except endless wilderness.
"Menechel, where are we?"
Caster remained silent for a long time in response to Fujimaru Ritsuka's words. A bad feeling suddenly emerged in her heart, and she asked nervously, "You should know the way, right?"
"Of course, this is my hometown where I grew up."
Listening to Caster's affirmative words, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt more and more uneasy. Caster seemed to have never thought that the alienated Britain might be different from the homeland in her memory. She was about to open her mouth to remind him when she saw Caster, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.
Caster took off his hood, revealing his two different colored pupils, one blue and one gold, emitting a faint fluorescence in the dark night. This brief and weak light illuminated the surrounding darkness.
"Something's coming out."
She looked at the darkness not far away, and it seemed that some shadows were moving in the night. Suddenly, a pair of blood-red eyes lit up in the darkness. Amid the rustling footsteps, there was a faint sound similar to the howling of a pig.
"That is……"
Ritsuka Fujimaru subconsciously held her breath. With the faint fluorescence coming from Caster, she could barely make out a strange figure lurking in the darkness. It was a short creature with a dirty green body, only about as tall as Ritsuka Fujimaru's thigh, with only a few pieces of fur of an unknown creature hanging all over its body.
"They are goblins, and there are quite a lot of them...be prepared for a protracted war." Caster looked at the ugly green-skinned creatures that seemed to stretch to the horizon, and a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes - since fairies appeared here, she was not paying attention to this side.
Ritsuka Fujimaru couldn't help but wrap her clothes tighter. She subconsciously looked behind her, only to find that some creatures began to twist and jump in the shadows behind her.
"Menechel, we are surrounded."
Caster nodded in response without even turning her head. Her hands hidden under her robes made a grasping motion, but she did not take the next step.
——There is no need to waste those twelve positions for these inferior creatures.
Caster let go of her hand, her brows and eyes drooped slightly, she lowered her voice and started singing.
She heard the sound of air breaking behind her, and when she turned her head slightly, she caught a glimpse of the goblin flying towards her. Caster took a step to the side, ready to hide behind Fujimaru Ritsuka the moment the goblin pounced on her, but she bumped into someone's chest as soon as she took a step back.
The soft touch made Caster slightly stunned, and then she felt a hand around her shoulders, followed by a strong embrace.
The warm blood and Caster's brain floating in front of her eyes stopped instantly, and even the chanting stopped briefly. She stared blankly at the side of Fujimaru Ritsuka's face where the skin was scraped, and she was unable to recover for a moment.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's robe was torn to pieces by the goblin, but the standard magic ceremonial costume hidden under the robe instantly spread out a mysterious magical field in all directions, knocking away the goblin who was rushing towards him again wielding a bone knife.
"Keep chanting. Don't stop."
Caster heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice, and only then did she notice that she was actually being held in the other person's arms.
——Is this guy an idiot!
A goblin rushed up first, and then more and more goblins rushed in, and the green and ugly creatures greedily rushed towards the breath of the stranger.
Caster suppressed her nausea and pushed Fujimaru Ritsuka away. Her eyes quickly turned red and deep. At the same time, her robe fluttered in the wind, revealing her other hand that had been hidden under the robe and the small brown book in her hand.
Peng——!
There were continuous muffled sounds, and the goblins that were rushing forward stopped about five steps away from Fujimaru Ritsuka as if they had hit an invisible barrier.
"You actually used your treasure for these low-level fairies."
The airflow constructed by magic power blows the robe on Caster's body, and Caster maintains the movement of grasping the book with one hand and rests the other hand above the pages of the book.
The pattern of the blood-red magic circle that originally formed on the page quickly faded and gradually became blank. The pages flipped through several pages and finally stopped at a certain page.
Caster's eyes slightly raised, and a creepy smile appeared on his lips.
Vibrant white flames swept out from the pages of the book, swirling and quickly engulfing the surrounding green fields. The goblins that were affected immediately made strange squeaking sounds, but they could not even struggle before they turned into charred fragments.
When the flames completely dissipated, the goblins all over the place had completely turned into the nourishment of the world. She wanted to fake an evenly matched battle but was destroyed by Fujimaru Tateka.Her pupils shrank into a thin line and pulled up the somewhat dazed Fujimaru Tachika: "What are you doing!"
A feeling of being insulted surged into Caster's heart. Although she also planned to let Fujimaru Ritsuka block the knife for her, it was a different experience to take the initiative to pull someone in and be held in the arms of someone as if they were a poor and weak object.
She stood on tiptoe and glared at Fujimaru Ritsuka fiercely: "I am a Servant, I don't need your protection. Is the magic costume on you better than the one I wear on myself?"
"Sorry, I just subconsciously..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately bowed her head and admitted her mistake. When she saw the swarms of goblins, her mind was suddenly reminded of the unspeakable scenes in some books, and she only wanted to protect Caster and let the girl cast the spell quickly.
"you--"
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka bowing his head and apologizing, Caster felt even more angry and had no place to vent. She took a few deep breaths and then slammed the book shut with a "snap". The closed book immediately turned into magical fragments and dissipated in her palm.
"Because of your self-willed behavior, I used two trump cards that were used to fight against the Knights of the Round Table on these low-level goblins."
Her treasure, twelve magic notes made of dragon scales, each of which can seal a magic trick, just makes up for her lack of ability in encounter combat. But after using up the magic, she has to refill it. Now that time is running out, one less precious killing move will be lost, so she is extremely angry.
