"-Phew" Marie Antoinette wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Alll right, are we safe now?"

"Doctor" Mash asked the head of the Medical Department.

"Yes. I'm not detecting them anymore" he said. "While we're at it, I'm picking up leyline readings from that nearby forest."

"Well that's a relief" Jeanne sighed.

"But Berserk Rider is still after them remember" Shinji said.

"Try not to spoil the mood Shinji" Shirou stated casually.

"Very well" Mash said before checking on their newfound allies. "Jeanne? And... Marie?"

"Marie, did you say" Marie Antoinette asked in confusion.

"F-Forgive me" Mash quickly apologized as she just recalled that the Rider was a queen. "Um-"

"You weren't being rude" the Queen of Lilies reassured her. "You made me so happy! The way you addressed me was so adorable! Please, splendid foreigner! Would you mind calling me that from now on?"

"Wow, this is new" Artoria stated bewilderedly.

"No kidding, I know Marie Antoinette was laid back but I didn't think that it was this much" EMIYA agreed.

"Uh, yes..." Mash was not sure how to answer it. "Miss Marie, or Mademoiselle Marie, perhaps?"

"Nope, that won't work at all" she shouted. "Just Marie! Like the sheep!"

"Nice to meet you, Marie" Ritsuka smiled.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes" she smiled once more at his greetings. "Nice to meet you! I'm Marie! I love understanding ladies. Let me guess. You're very popular with the opposite sex, right?"

"So in truth he is also a Harem Anime Protagonist right" Angra blankly stated without having much care with everyone staring at him in disbelief.

"Damn kiddo, he must have inherited your charm" Cu whistled while commenting Shirou.

"THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS NOR I DON'T THINK SO" he refuted loudly.

"...Marie, may I speak" Mash asked the queen of France.

"Oh, my apologies" she stated. "I got excited for a minute. How rude of me. So, how may I be of service?"

"A strong leyline was detected in a nearby forest" Mash explained. "I'd like to head there and make camp... Is that all right, everyone?"

"Of course, that's fine" Marie answered with a happy smile. "Is that all right with you, Amadeus?"

"There's no point in asking for my opinion" he smiled. "Do what you want, Maria."

"All right" Jeanne said. "It should be fine, I think."

"Let's go there and rest, and then we can talk about our next move" Mash stated as everyone begin to walk towards the forest.

As soon as they reached the leyline, they saw monsters roaming around it as if they were guarding it.

"...Looks like some monsters have found the leyline too" Mash analyzed. "Let's get rid of them!"

"Ah shoot, here we go again" Astolfo said.

"Why are there so many monsters" Illya shouted.

"It's a byproduct whenever a Singularity appears" Zelretch answered. "Some of them can be utterly ridiculous."
