Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

"Mash?! Why are you wearing clothes like that?"

The black armor clung tightly to Mashu's fair and beautiful body, perfectly outlining her exquisite figure, especially the curves of her chest, which, even when covered by armor, still revealed her beauty.

The dark purple leather armor on her legs reached just to her knees, creating a stark contrast with her snow-white thighs. At the slits in the armor, subtle indentations of the skin were faintly visible, and the soft flesh of her buttocks could be seen being slightly constricted by the tightly bound soft armor.

Fujimaru Ritsuka only had one sentence to describe this.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Seemingly sensing Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze, Mashu's face flushed with a captivating blush, and her half-dead apostle form added a touch of allure to her girlish charm, making her even more irresistible.

"I don't know... I don't know why this happened... I just came to my senses in a daze and it had already turned out like this."

Mashu quickly explained.

Her flustered and nervous demeanor made her even more adorable.

Kawaii, Mashu.

"Okay, it suits you perfectly, Mash."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's compliment made the girl blush slightly with embarrassment.

Thank you so much!

"Don't be so formal, Mashu. Aren't we comrades? Since we're comrades, there's no need for thanks right now, is there?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mash with her blood-red eyes. Her gentle smile made Mash feel an unprecedented warmth and tremor in her heart.

"Yes, I understand. But, since it's the first time..."

what?

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused slightly.

Girl, do you really know what awful lines you're saying?!

"The first time I've had my blood drained by a senior, the first time I've been praised by a senior... and the first time I've become a senior's servant. These are incredible feelings that I've never experienced before in my life."

Mashu looked intently at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"It's warm here." Mashu clutched her chest.

The girl's words made Fujimaru Ritsuka feel somewhat heavy-hearted for a moment.

However, there seems to be a rumor about the concept of "first embrace," could it be that I really did take Mashu's virginity?!

No way, does that mean I've become Mashu's mother, and Princess Mashu has become my mother?

"Oh, you idiot." The princess's voice echoed in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, her voice seemingly tinged with helplessness and a sigh.

"Ah, this..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stuck out her tongue.

You should understand the situation now, Ritsuka. This isn't the time for idle thoughts. Although your current predicament has nothing to do with me, look around... Is there any semblance of human society left here?

The princess warned.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around; the despairing scene was chilling.

She understood that, although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she still needed to do some preparation.

There were many things she didn't understand, but she still remembered the term "singularity."

This is Fuyuki City, Japan, in 2004.

"call..."

The polluted air and scorching heat transformed the entire world into a gloomy gray. Before Fujimaru Ritsuka lay a world of darkness, despair, and bloodshed.

"The situation is not optimistic, Mashu. We seem to have been caught up in the spirit particle transfer."

“Yes. It should be Fuyuki in 2004. It’s said that a secret Holy Grail War took place here.” Mash nodded.

"Secret?"

That's really well hidden.

Fujimaru Ritsuka has yet to see a single living person.

It seems this war is a faithful practitioner of secrecy; as long as everyone is killed, no one will know what happened.

War is truly a cruel thing.

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Soon, Fujimaru Ritsuka heard the sound of bones twisting and cracking.

Subsequently, a large number of skeleton soldiers, with no flesh on their bodies and extremely skeletal, surrounded and gathered around Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka like a tidal wave.

"Mash, it looks like we're surrounded."

"That's true, senior."

Mashu materialized a black shield, her gaze resolute, ready for battle, her attitude as serious as an eggplant.

Gaa gaa gaa gaa~~

The skeleton soldiers' upper and lower jaws clanged together, seemingly preparing to charge.

Soon, these monsters, resembling dungeon minions, emerged from abandoned buildings, wrecked vehicles, and even boiling rivers.

"Master, leave it to me!"

Mash swung her shield in a spiral, her entire body brimming with power.

"Mash Kyrielight! First strike!"

Whether it was because the power split from the True Ancestor contained violent genes, or because Mashu's personality was inherently like this, Mashu, wielding her shield, instantly became like a cannonball, preparing to use the Holy Cross Shield to cleave through the skeleton minions.

Instead, they used patting and fanning techniques!

"Hahhhhhh!" Mashu roared in battle.

boom!

The ground shattered and flying rocks flew everywhere. In an instant, all the skeleton soldiers in front of Mashu were blasted into spiritual dust by the heavy blow!

"Ah-le-le..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the scarlet Command Seal on the back of her hand, the proof of her status as a Master radiating a dazzling scarlet light.

"I remember, this should be the power of the Master and the Servant..."

Because of the tight schedule, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't learn much, only the basics. After all, she wasn't a magician and was just an ordinary person not long ago.

That power, so that's how it is, it's a spiritual entity etched in the historical records of intelligent life... but it actually manifests in a human—this is not something that can be easily accomplished, so what is it...?

"Princess?"

It's nothing, I just feel that the child is a bit special.

"special?"

Dead Apostles, Servants, and Humans... these three concepts cannot be reconciled or interchanged. However, the situation seems to be somewhat different now. Although the three powers are completely different and even conflict to some extent—both are the power of Heroic Spirits and the power of Dead Apostles—she, as a human, has balanced them in an extremely subtle way. She is simply a natural-born vessel.

A natural carrier?

"I see, it's similar to the Jinchuriki in Naruto, right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized.

These are completely different concepts; don't bring anime concepts into reality. That child is human, a Dead Apostle, and a Servant all at the same time, with each power roughly accounting for one-third of their power, thus achieving a balance. If it were an ordinary person, just contact with the power of a Heroic Spirit would probably cause them to explode and die.

Got it, triangles are stable, right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka slammed her fist down.

But as expected of Mashu! I never expected her to be able to balance three powers. That's so cool.

"but..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly asked, "Why do you seem so familiar with this?"

Familiar with what?

"Things like Jinchuriki and anime are things you shouldn't know, right?"

Ah...

Do you think I would like your shoddy human creations? I'm just learning about human culture through your memories, so this is part of the learning process.

"No, I've never thought that way, nor have I ever denied it," Fujimaru Ritsuka said blankly.

That's good. Are there any other questions?

There's nothing wrong with it.

I just hope this princess doesn't go from being a sheltered young lady to a reclusive shut-in.

I hope that the great minds of the Earth won't degenerate into those shut-in girls who only know how to surf the internet and watch anime.

Chapter 6: Commit suicide, archers!

A shield is a defensive weapon, a protective weapon.

However, this does not mean that it is impossible to attack; it mainly depends on the user's fighting style.

The charge, the whirlwind slash, and the sudden slam—all executed in one fluid motion. In an instant, Mashu cleared a path like a war chariot, crushing all the dragon-tooth soldiers blocking her way.

Dealing with these grunts didn't take much effort; Mashu fought her way in and out seven times.

The scattered crimson broken bones on the ground made the surroundings look like hell, and Mash, who fought her way out of it, looked like a god of war.

"As expected of Mashu, she did it so easily..."

"Attack! Ritsuka, someone's targeting you."

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could react, the princess's voice had already rang in her mind.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't ask why.

She chose to believe the princess unconditionally.

"Mash—!"

"Yes, senior!"

With the contract between Master and Servant, plus the relationship between True Ancestor and Familia, Mash understood everything with just a glance or a word from Fujimaru Ritsuka.

In that instant, just as the princess had just said...

The crimson arrow pierced the silence of the night sky with a sharp thunderous roar. Before I knew it, the arrow was upon me!

This is the power of heroic spirits etched in human history, launching attacks from kilometers away, beyond the reach of sight.

However, even so, Mash and Ritsuka, who had anticipated this, blocked it.

But how exactly did the princess find out?

It's just reading information from Earth, nothing more. If you want to learn, I can teach you.

"Can I do that too?"

Of course, you and I are of one mind. Although you can only exert less than 10% of my power right now—the power of the Star Brain—reading information from singularities is a piece of cake for you.

"Teach me, Princess Sensei! Please!"

No need to be so enthusiastic, I'm not used to it.

Reading information, whether it's Arcueid in Tsukihime or Tanaka-san in Magical Girl Illya, they all rely on their own characteristics to analyze and extract the content of the current world as if recording it, and find the information they want.

Sinking consciousness...

Almost instantly.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt as if she had entered a pitch-black world.

Countless wispy threads surrounded it, as if the trajectories of stars were intertwining.

"Well, I'll teach you how to read Earth's intelligence."

In a daze, the princess changed into a smart black office lady outfit and put on quiet glasses.

Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to complain.

What's going on here? Why did she suddenly change into a professional female teacher's uniform?

"Don't be surprised, I just changed into your human teacher's uniform. Well, because that's what teachers in your human society wear, right?"
