In other words, if she could utilize this guy's power, she could even make Ritsuka her prince or knight.
"Hehe...I see...This is getting interesting."
The girl's bleak life gradually gained many colors she had never experienced before.
This is a very strange magic book.
The colorful pattern resembles the cover of some kind of fairy tale book.
However, if you underestimate it because of this, you will suffer a great loss.
This Servant can be considered a Reality Marble in itself.
[Grief-stricken readers resist reality]
[Hoping to find my original self]
But in this endless cycle of reincarnation...
[Unable to reach the true other shore]
"This Servant is the embodiment of a concept from a British fairy tale. Theoretically, it should take form and gain a sense of existence because of its Master's presence."
Hans Christian Andersen explained, “But in this situation, she has no Master. Without a Master, she cannot exist stably, which causes the entire SoHo district to fall into a prolonged sleep.”
"Although sleep itself is harmless, humans will still die if they sleep for too long without eating or drinking."
However, dying in one's sleep... dying unconsciously, or rather, in a dream, might also be a kind of happiness and liberation.
"I can't control that much."
Fujimaru Ritsuka could not ignore the people who were gradually heading towards death.
"Mash, attack with full power!"
"Yes, Mash Kyrielight, charge forward with all your might! Hah!"
Mash felt her entire body brimming with power, her strength surging so much that she wouldn't even lose to the old Hercules!
She thrust the shield forward and slammed it down—
Boom!
A terrifyingly loud bang was heard!
The house collapsed!
"Idiot! What are you talking about!"
Hans Christian Andersen cursed, "It's been overpowered! Even its simple attack surpasses the Noble Phantasms of ordinary Servants! You, as its Master, are entirely responsible!"
The roof beams collapsed, and the foundation shook.
Hans Christian Andersen let out a desperate scream and was then buried alive in the entire bookstore.
Because he followed them up to the second floor and did not anticipate the sudden turn of events, he first fell and was tragically buried alive.
"Tch, what a weakling, hahaha~~"
Mordred pulled him out of the rubble.
She swiftly chopped the house in two, then stood guard in front of her father and used her crimson lightning to clear a clear space.
""
Hans Christian Andersen's face turned very pale.
This master-servant relationship is truly outrageous.
Why do you have to increase your attack power so much if you're using a shield?!
Although Servants like the Magic Book, which have almost no physical form, are very troublesome, they can still be hit if the "guaranteed hit" effect is added.
If you hit it, things will be much easier.
Is it necessary to upgrade Mashu into a monster?
Could it be that every single member of the Chaldea organization has problems?
However... their combat prowess is commendable, especially that Master named Fujimaru Ritsuka, who gives him a very unfathomable feeling.
However, what I find most incomprehensible is still...
Hans Christian Andersen glanced at a pale blonde girl whose fingers were crossed, her face flushed, and whose gaze was fixed on Fujimaru Ritsuka.
—You're blushing like a teapot!
"Come on, don't worry about so many details. You're just too serious. Don't be so rigid, relax a little, okay?"
Mordred chuckled, feeling inexplicably pleased as he watched Andersen, that little devil, get his comeuppance.
"I just don't want to be talked about like that by you."
Hans Christian Andersen shook his hand and then gently wiped the almost smoking brush.
"But speaking of which, Mashu has suddenly become much stronger. Is that also your ability?"
"The whole house is ruined, what a pity. It seems that being too strong isn't always a good thing."
He then looked in Mash's direction.
boom--!
The girl wielding the shield charged out, the shield transforming into a streak of light as she slammed it against the gaudy magic book.
The speed was incredible, and the force was devastating.
Beyond imagination!
"Wow!"
Hua la la la~~
The magic book was struck head-on by the shield, its pages flipping rapidly before it fell to the ground with a thud.
The magic book emitted the screams of a little girl.
Then, the pattern on the book's cover disappeared.
Mash's shield could no longer be used to strike.
The figure shown is a young girl, a very ordinary yet adorable girl.
The girl, wearing a small beret, was curled up, her big, bright eyes looking at Mashu.
How should I put it? This completely killed any desire to fight.
Mash is a guardian spirit, and she should fight without hesitation against any Servant, but there's just no way to bring herself to attack such a frail girl.
"Alice..."
"Huh?" Mashu was slightly taken aback. "Alice refers to..."
"Where is Alice? Is she going to disappear... Dream, will you wake up next time?"
"Your Master isn't here, really... I see. Although I know you don't want to hurt such a young child, you'd better defeat her quickly. Otherwise, this situation will be torture for her."
Although the people of this world do not know...
However, as a fellow Servant in the Cyber Holy Grail War, Andersen had a rather profound impression of him.
The image of Alice, or rather the image of nursery rhymes today, is actually that of a young girl during World War II.
He was doomed due to German air raids.
Her magic circuits were discovered by an army doctor, and her life was extended for research purposes, enduring pain that a child should not have to bear.
The pain of blood draws and surgeries tormented her day and night.
But sacrificing a little girl, if it benefits the war, is a worthwhile deal for those people.
Ultimately, the little girl died and became an electronic ghost. During the Holy Grail War, she made a contract with Nursery Rhyme, who was also influenced by her Master and inherited the will of her Master, Alice.

"Mash, step back."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said.
"senior?"
"give it to me."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gently raised her hand.
"Utopia materialized·Chaldea."
The spreading star breath transformed into a rotating halo, causing a slight distortion in the entire space. As Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic spread, the illusory shadow of the Chalk Fortress slowly appeared on this land.
"What is that? And how did a Servant appear out of there?" Andersen was full of questions.
"Ah, this is your ability, senior. You can manifest a field that is almost identical to Chaldea."
Hans Christian Andersen fell into thought: "This is... a Reality Marble? No, it seems a little different..."
It's hard to believe, could he be the most powerful one...?
Unlikely?
This girl seems to have the power to instantly kill me?
Mashu suddenly realized: "Senior is going to take this book in!"
Just then, she saw a lovely girl, as beautiful as a lily, blooming brilliantly.
"Queen Mary".
During the Second Singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka used the power of Imaginary Manifestation: Heroic Spirit Summoning to summon Queen Marie Antoinette.
She is currently living a life of leisure, lost in daydreams about Chaldea.
Sometimes I'll complain about being bored or something.
So Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to find her something to do.
"Oh dear! Master actually thought of coming to see me? I've been all alone in my room for so long..."
Mashu was slightly taken aback: "Miss Mary, what brings you here?"
"Little Mashu's here too! And who exactly is this child...?"
Queen Mary remained as cheerful and optimistic as ever.
As the number of Chaldea's Servants gradually increases, Queen Marie will become increasingly happier.
Once the Fate system is repaired, the number of Servants will increase.
Sooner or later, Chaldea will be overcrowded, and Olga Marie is currently worried about that.
However, it seems she has gone to the infirmary to rest for the time being.
The destruction of the clock tower probably dealt her a blow.
"Could you please look after this child for me?" Fujimaru Ritsuka said, clasping her hands together. "She is somewhat emotionally unstable, so she needs a gentle woman like Queen Mary to take care of her."
“Sure,” Queen Mary nodded. “Of course I have no problem with that. I’m quite free lately, and I’m not needed in battle. If there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know.”
"Then please."
"It's okay! Because I, Mary, love everyone the most!"
By the way, this was for saving lives.
It was definitely not child trafficking.
After returning to Jekyll's mansion, they continued to exchange some information.
Hans Christian Andersen and Jekyll both discovered a very serious and bizarre problem.
That is, Scotland Yard, as London's highest police authority, should have used this time to calm public sentiment, control public opinion, and then send investigators to investigate.
Unfortunately.
Scotland Yard has not released any information to the public for quite some time.
This is very unusual for a part of the government.
So the conclusion is quite clear: something happened at Scotland Yard.
