The Delinquent's Grand Order

Dragon's Zero Accel

"Sorry to call you both back so soon, but it looks like another Singularity has popped up this time."

"What's new?" Keiji asked, a chuckle as he rolled his eyes but had come to accept that these types of things were bound to happen. They were dealing with the King of Mages, who knew what shenanigans he was probably doing. Then again, it may very well have not been him who was responsible.

Romani typed up the coordinates. "The strange thing about this Singularity is where it's manifested."

Mash perked up. "Doctor, aren't these similar to the coordinates of Singularity F?"

Romani nods. "That's right. What really gets me confused is that its temporal axis corresponds to a decade earlier. I can't say for sure if there is a Holy Grail in there, but the response isn't too different. I can't explain if it's possible for a Grail to manifest frequently at this point. Human history as we know it has been incinerated, so there is very much the possibility that many different possibilities have been mixed in with Chaldea's observational results. I can't tell if that means that this Singularity is closely tied to our history as we know it. It might be different but similar."

"This is a lot to digest, Romani," Keiji cut him off.

The Doctor rubbed his head sheepishly. "Sorry about that. Anyway, Primary Branch theory aside, the main point is that we have to clear out this Singularity. We can't Rayshift many people this time, but I figured it would be good if you could bond well with our latest Servant you summoned as she only really exists in Chaldea's records."

"Geh, going on a mission already. Well, I did say I'd lend you my power and I've got an itch to scratch. Don't go holding back on the mana support, Master!"

"Good luck, other me! You'll do great!" the other, true self called out.

Jeanne Alter's face scarred in disgust. "Grrgh, get the hell away, you saint! I can't stand you! Shoo! Off you go!" she shouted back.

"Am I not going as well?" Yu asked.

Romani gulped. "You are... very surprisingly eager to go. However, I don't want to release you just yet. We still have no clue what we are dealing with in this Singularity. I don't want to

Finding themselves in the chilly air of Fuyuki, Keiji's body already put warning arounds him. His hand stretching out as she stopped them from going further. "Jeanne, Mash, can you feel that?" Keiji asked them.

"Is there an enemy?" Mash asked.

"Don't ask that out the blue, although I can't feel anything."

Keiji shook his head. "It's not an enemy, exactly. I just feel there is something corrupted about this Fuyuki, I can't explain it. It was present when we were in Singularity F but it's more defined and dense here. Putrid malevolence seems like the only way to explain it, yet I can't put my finger on it," Keiji explained.

Deep within the Boosted Gear, Ddraig was able to feel the source of the corruption stronger. Unaware of as to why, the corruption that spewed through the air resonated with his Sephiroth Graal. Both were powerful artefacts that knew very well about life and death; along with the Sephiroth Graal working as a lesser terminal; the uncomfortable feeling was all the more clearer to the two of them.

"I can't put a finger to it, but yeah, it really feels like the Holy Grail here or whatever system they have in place isn't going to be a fun thing."

Before they could get much further, Keiji stopped again. Jeanne Alter rolling her eyes. "Do we have to stop every 10 seconds? Why don't you hurry up and tell us what you are doing it for?!" she complained, itching to do something. The empty streets of Fuyuki were annoying her, heat already rising in her palms.
