Chapter 53 - BB: Today's Actions Are Merely a Stratagem!

Deep Sea Cyber Paradise (SE.RA.PH).

That Singularity, which Fujimaru Ritsuka had already experienced once, had descended upon Human History anew under the resurrection of the Demonic Bodhisattva.

In the original plot, during the first playthrough, Fujimaru Ritsuka encountered an Alter Ego named Meltryllis.

Master and Servant, the pair eliminated hundreds of "Sentinel" Servants, fought their way to the summit of the Singularity, and engaged in a decisive battle with the Demonic Bodhisattva, Sessyoin Kiara—and failed.

In order to save her Master, Meltryllis paid the price of sacrificing her own Spirit Origin. She used her Noble Phantasm, "Benzaiten's Five-String Biwa," to reverse time, returning to the moment she first met Fujimaru Ritsuka. In the second playthrough, she sacrificed herself to perish together with the Demonic Bodhisattva, a Beast.

This was the story Fujimaru Ritsuka had already lived through once.

When Suke asked Fujimaru Ritsuka about the specific details, this red-haired girl, who always appeared heartless and carefree, fell silent the instant she heard the name Meltryllis.

Although there was also a Servant named "Meltryllis" in her current Chaldea, she knew that that was not her at all. The girl who had accompanied her to defeat the Demonic Bodhisattva had long since slept eternally within the Deep Sea Cyber Paradise.

'Please, you must take me with you!'

'I know the current Sessyoin might be much, much stronger than before, but I beg you, Mr. Farmer, this is my only wish!'

The image of the red-haired girl kneeling before him, her face taut with pleading, still echoed in Suke's mind. Her expression had been so serious—not sorrowful, nor reminiscent. There was only the essence of "Fujimaru Ritsuka"—an obsession with the word "Save."

After informing Mabel of the abnormal situation in FGO and receiving her help, Fujimaru Ritsuka became a "temporary worker" on his farm. She could temporarily share the immortality attribute Suke possessed and was transported into the Singularity alongside him.

Don't ask Suke why he didn't make her a permanent employee; the seven worker slots on his farm were strictly one radish per pit. Granting this to Fujimaru Ritsuka in her "Savior" mode didn't matter now, but if she reverted to her Gudako mode after things were settled in the future, how would he survive the days ahead?

Since Mabel was able to arrange a temporary status for Fujimaru Ritsuka, Suke naturally felt that was for the best.

"Even though we prepared in advance, we still got separated after teleporting."

"She must have been transported to another location in the Singularity. Forget it, the current Gudako won't die anyway, so let her run wild."

Pulling his thoughts back, Suke began to size up the four Servants... or should he say three Servants and one AI surrounding him?

"Let me see who is present... Robin Hood, Elizabeth, Gawain, and one more..."

"BB?"

"Eh, isn't this BB-chan? haven't seen you in a few days, how did you get so washed up?"

Suke turned his head and, sure enough, saw the red-ribboned, purple-haired girl in a JK outfit lying near a pile of discarded data garbage, on the verge of death.

After confirming that the "contract" binding was on her, Suke took out a Magic Rock Candy from his chest pocket.

"You... what Servant are you?"

Farmer? BB had never heard of such a broken class existing in the Throne of Heroes.

"Uh, what are you going to do to BB-ch... Guh-woo!"

Under BB's stunned gaze, Suke squatted in front of her, grabbed her chin, and violently shoved the colorful popsicle down her throat. He would show no mercy to this kind of natural-born brat who responded to force rather than kindness!

"Woo—!"

"What is this thing? Why does BB-chan feel like she... Eh, my injuries are healed?"

The prismatic power melted from the popsicle into BB's current human body. It was magical energy beyond imagination—no, it was the very essence of life source. In just an instant, it completely healed the injuries inflicted on BB by the three Servants, and even made her feel full of strength, terrifyingly strong!

"Hehe, I didn't expect to summon a Servant by chance. It seems Heaven hasn't abandoned BB-chan yet!"

"Although he looks like a useless male Servant who's just eye candy, he surprisingly has some skills to be able to cure BB-chan~"

"What is your True Name? Let me, BB-chan, your Master, use my knowledge of the past and present to help you defeat the enemies before us☆!"

BB scanned the man in front of her. His face was quite good, her preferred type; she'd give him a 96. The remaining 4 points were deducted for his rustic, Farmer-like fashion sense.

That made sense. Since she was no longer in AI state but in a human state, it was only reasonable for her to seek a Servant to fight as a Master~!

"Servant this, Servant that. Do you have Command Spells? If you do, then you can call me a Servant."

"Hmm?" Hearing the words of the strangely dressed man before her, BB paused.

She hurriedly looked at the back of her hand, only to find nothing there. Instead, the man displayed the back of his hand, where three Command Spells were engraved.

BB: ?

BB's brain didn't process it for a moment. Although it was rare for her to be human, the resonance of a Servant contract couldn't be faked, right?

Wait, something's wrong!

———Could it be that she is the Servant?!!!

"Servant bro, don't treat us like we don't exist, hey!"

"Damn piglets, stop flirting in front of me!"

The Dragon Maiden Elizabeth and Robin Hood launched their attack first. They were wary of this male Servant whose background was completely indiscernible but who had instantly healed BB. However, rather than remaining in a stalemate, it was better to test him first. After all, they had three whole Servants on their side!

In a word, the advantage was his!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Hmph—!"

Facing the two wind-breaking arrows shot by Robin Hood and the long lance thrust by Elizabeth, Suke first turned and swung his sword to slice the two arrows apart. With his other hand, he smashed the Iridium Hoe down towards Elizabeth with a bang!

Thud!

"Urgh—!"

Because the Iridium Hoe came with extra attack range, accompanied by the muffled sound of metal colliding with a skull, Elizabeth immediately saw stars and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Gawain, attack together!"

Seeing this scene, Robin Hood immediately realized that the man before them was not one to be trifled with. He signaled Gawain to push forward while he immediately activated his Noble Phantasm:

[Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm · Yew Bow]

"Is that all a so-called Noble Phantasm is?"

Suke smiled faintly; a light swing of the Galaxy Sword blocked Robin Hood's Noble Phantasm. This so-called [Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm] hurt even less than a peck from a Slime.

"Impossible!"

Robin Hood was secretly alarmed. One had to know that ever since Suke appeared, he had never stopped releasing various toxins into the air. Deliberately letting Suke chat and interact with BB earlier was also to buy time for this.

Having stayed in the toxin-filled air for so long, combined with the activation of the toxins by his Noble Phantasm, even a first-rate Servant with ultra-strong Magic Resistance shouldn't be unscathed!

"You're just surprised because you haven't seen much."

Suke wasn't worried about BB, who had eaten the Magic Rock Candy. The Noble Phantasm hadn't targeted her, and with the body-strengthening effects of the Magic Rock Candy, that little bit of toxin was negligible.

In truth, as the King of May who roamed the forest, Robin Hood's Noble Phantasm [Yew Bow] was not weak. By stacking toxins and other negative statuses on an enemy Servant, and then instantly detonating them using the Noble Phantasm that symbolizes death in Celtic culture, it caused a terrifying, massive amount of damage.

———But unfortunately, in the rules of Stardew Valley, [Poisoning] does not exist!

This was one of the few areas where Suke felt it was better than the MC next door; in his digitized state, he was almost immune to any Debuffs!

"Now it's my turn!"

Putting away the Iridium Hoe and holding the Galaxy Sword, Suke wanted to test just how much of a gap there was between his current output and that of a Servant. After all, the Statue of Yoba had limited charge, and he couldn't waste it fighting these small fries.

Clang—!

He executed a sprinting jump-chop towards Robin Hood's location, which was, as expected, blocked by the Knight of the Round Table, Gawain.

Crack, crack—

"What?!"

Actually, blocking Suke's sword wasn't that difficult for Gawain, but that wasn't what shocked him. He actually saw that the sister sword to Excalibur in his hand, Excalibur Galatine, had developed cracks under that purple starlight longsword and looked as if it were about to shatter!

Could this man be a Saber?

And one of the extremely powerful kind? Gawain was inexplicably horrified. Having fought in countless battles for years, this was the first time he had seen such a miraculous sword. The opponent must be a great hero famous for using swords in mythology!

But, this outfit that looked like a farmer...

"Alright, I have a clue about my melee strength now. Thanks for the sparring."

To prevent his weapon, which he needed to release his Noble Phantasm, from shattering directly, Gawain hurriedly switched from blocking to a horizontal sweep. Suke also used the opponent's force to retreat backwards.

"Now, for the second form!"

After widening the distance, Suke naturally took out the "Shepherd's Crook" under the stunned gazes of Robin Hood and Gawain.

He first used Magic · [Brainwashing], and unsurprisingly found that he couldn't remove the killing intent planted by the Demonic Bodhisattva. There was no helping that.

Magic · [Levitation]!

"No, he is a Caster!"

"Wait, why is there not even a fluctuation of magical energy? You..."

Bang—!

"Ah—!"

Swinging the Shepherd's Crook up and then chopping down, Gawain and Robin Hood, who had lost gravity and floated up a moment ago, slammed head-first into the ground the next moment!

Bang!

Bang, bang!!

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Just like that, they were smashed up and down for who knows how many rounds. Gawain and Robin Hood, unable to even use their Noble Phantasms due to the lack of leverage points, soon went silent.

They were simply smashed by Suke until they lost the ability to move.

"Done and dusted!"

Putting away the Shepherd's Crook, Suke felt like he had experienced the thrill of a certain skeleton named Sans. If Little Yuki knew gravity magic, it would definitely be even more thrilling to have her change the direction of gravity and smash people around!

What Suke didn't know was that while he was dealing with these three Servants, BB's eyes, watching from the side, had gone straight.

Who on earth was this guy?

He could use martial arts and magic, and was very handsome. He held a divine sword capable of breaking Excalibur Galatine, yet could use gravity magecraft that even Saber Gawain, with his high Magic Resistance, couldn't resist. And his fashion sense was super tacky!

BB searched through all the memories in her super AI brain, but couldn't find a corresponding character in Human History. Let alone a match, there wasn't even a suspect!

And that popsicle he shoved into her mouth just now, what kind of rare gadget was that?

"What are you doing?"

"What are you looking at? If you want to look, I'll let you look your fill!"

Sensing BB's gaze sizing him up and down like he was a freak, Suke directly conjured a lounge chair from the Furniture Catalogue, lay down leisurely, and waved at her:

"Come, give your Master a back massage!"

"Swinging the staff just now nearly flared up my frozen shoulder. A useless, trashy kouhai-type Servant like you can only do menial tasks like serving tea and water for people."

"Oh, I remember you were originally a health management AI that took care of people, right?"

"Consider it returning to your original job!"

BB: ...

Why does this man know so much about her! And his personality is incredibly nasty, simply on par with hers!

No, endure it, BB-chan!

Before figuring out the situation, she would tentatively submit to this man for now. Considering he saved her and was quite good-looking, she would barely...

[Gudako: Boss save me! I'm being hunted down!]

[Gudako: It's too painful, it's too painful——————]

[Gudako: Why is this happening?]

However, before Suke could enjoy BB's back-massaging service, a message suddenly came from Fujimaru Ritsuka on the Farm Public Channel in the lower left corner.

[Conscience Farmer: ?]

Seeing the message she sent, Suke knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka's Savior mode hadn't lasted past three seconds of coolness.

[Conscience Farmer: It's just a pursuit. You won't die anyway, just let the other party kill you once.]

Calling everyone out just for this; making a fuss about nothing.

[Gudako: It's different!]

[Gudako: If I get killed by her, I don't know if I can find her again when I randomly teleport back next time!]

[Gudako: The one chasing me is Meltryllis!]

Meltryllis?

Suke thoughtfully glanced at BB, who had become as well-behaved as an ordinary girl beside him.

His gaze made BB somewhat uncomfortable; she subconsciously covered her voluptuous figure, which looked ready to burst out from under her tattered clothes, revealing a look of disgust as if looking at a pervert.

Of course, Suke wasn't looking at that, although it was indeed very nice to look at. After all, she was more than two sizes bigger than Miss Pink Elf.

He was looking at the power belonging to the Demonic Bodhisattva remaining on BB, inferring that BB's current wretched appearance was inseparable from it.

Indeed. If BB was like this, the other Sakura Five probably weren't doing much better.

[Gudako: Please, Boss, help me subdue her! I will repay your kindness with my whole life afterwards!]

[Gudako: [Image]]

[Gudako: I have a hunch, she is definitely that Lili who sacrificed herself before!]

[Gudako: As long as we subdue her, maybe we can find out how Sessyoin came back to life!]

Fujimaru Ritsuka sent an image. Behind her was a petite blue-haired girl chasing after her, stepping on high heels cast from sharp blades as if dancing ballet. The girl's facial features were seventy percent similar to BB's, except for the hair color and ribbons.

Of course, to avoid being caught, Fujimaru Ritsuka was currently displaying professional escape qualities that even the ancient Greek hero Heracles couldn't catch up with. As expected of Fujimaru the Runner, there's no denying that.

"Let's go, useless kouhai. You can do the service work after we're done."

BB: ?!

Taking out a Triple Shot Espresso and drinking it in one gulp, Suke wrapped his arm around the girl's slender waist. Disregarding BB's fierce struggles, Suke clamped her figure—which looked voluptuous but was actually quite petite—under his shoulder like luggage.

It wasn't that he was intentionally tormenting BB; it was simply convenient for traveling using [Monstrous Strength] plus [Levitation] this way.

He couldn't exactly carry her in a princess carry, right? He didn't want to be seen by Gudako upon arrival and have her run off to snitch to someone later.

BB: Wait, what is this situation...!

"We're setting off—!"
