The Delinquent's Grand Order

Counterfeit Chaos

"This is going to be a common occurrence, isn't it?" Keiji asked Da Vinci, tapping his fingers impatiently while Da Vinci nodded.

"That's why you need to crush them even faster! Making copies, poor especially, of my work should be a crime! I'll have to get the Director to sort out a new law around here about that. You two aren't safe as well."

Mash nodded. "Understood, Da Vinci."

Hurrying to the Control Room, Romani was already there. "I wish a minute Singularity didn't appear so soon, but it looks like things never change, does it? From what I'm reading, there are several coordinates for you to bounce to."

"Doctor, are there any updates?"

Romani turned to the location points that were popping up. "I think you can see for yourselves, but we've got a ton of Servants to deal with. Luckily, this is still under Chaldea's control, you should be able to organise several Servants to each deal with them."

"Is there a way to pinpoint where the other Jeanne is? I just want to get this over and done with. We've still got two more Singularities to worry about," Keiji spoke.

"Well, we've got a good look at their magical energy, so it's definitely possible. However, with how Rayshifting can be, it could end up taking you elsewhere. Are you sure you still want to go through with it?" Romani asked, with Keiji nodding all the same.

Da Vinci looked around. "Looks like the Director is still tired after using her new body. Oh well, it doesn't matter. I'm sure you can do fine choosing which Servants you want to take with you. This has to be done."

'She's really serious about her artistic stuff.'

In her room, an exhausted, recovering Olga could only sigh and push her pillow harder into her ears. 'I was hoping this nonsense would end when I got my body back.'

Servants and Master set out with each other. With the amount of mana he could provide to his Servants, long-ranged support was easily viable. The ground they could cover were spread much easy as they continued on their travels.

"Looks like there is someone strong. Very well. I'll face them," Scathach spoke, brandishing her spear.

The bearded geezer from Greece sighed as he readied his spear. "This old man's only good skill is defence. Try not to ruin it too much."

A flash of red came that Hector could only block. Scathach nodding to herself. Even if it was a counterfeit, it still had real skill. That was enough for Scathach to aggressively move, yet there wasn't just wild flailing. Her skill was the real deal as the alternative Gae Bolg viciously sort out Hector's body.

Durindana moved back, then was suddenly pushed forward with great skill. Hector's ability to disengage then strike the opponent was fierce, but that had little effect on a warrior far more seasoned than Scathach. The perfect time to release her second Gae Bolg, blocking the attack in such a way that Scathach wasted no time disarming Hector literally.

An ice rune was used to freeze Hector in place while Scathach pinned him down. "Do you still have the pride not to answer or will you explain anything?" she asked, well aware if Hector would try anything with his legs.

Despite the loss of his arms, the counterfeit smiled all the same. "All this old man can say is that it's nice to act differently for a change. I suppose moving this old body for my Master wasn't so bad. She's a bit of a mess. The type that'll say she hates you, only to be ashamed of herself for letting herself go like that."

"I can't understand a person like that myself, but I will thank you for this knowledge. Perhaps I will have a chance to fight with you later," she told him, with Hector chuckling as he faded away. A shame he couldn't finish having another light.
