Fate grand order: Epic of Remnant: The master who stands in for the orginal

Chapter 12

"...yosh, here we are. At the same time, the connection should also be reestablished." Holmes said as he and Red had arrived at the base, with Shadow going ahead of them and sneaking back into the base unnoticed

A few moments later, Salter and Jalter came rushing towards Red.

"Are you alright, Master?!" Salter asked as she checked Red's body

"Hey you, are you alright?!" Jalter asked as she grabbed Red's faced and examined it

Just like Holmes had predicted. the connection with Chaldea was reestablished and Mashu's image appeared.

"Master!! Thank goodness you're alright!" Mash cried out finally seeing Red "No, since we can observe your status through the monitor, I know that you're unharmed, but...! But the connection doesn't recover even after waiting a long time...!" She said super worried

"Yo, you alright? ...wait a sec, Sherlock Holmes?!" Da Vinci asked shocked to see Sherlock in the flesh again

"...ah! It's true, it's really Holmes-san!" Mash said excitedly

"It has been quite some time, hasn't it? Miss Kyrielight?" Holmes said excited as well

"Yes, Holmes-san seems healthy as well..." Mash said as she read Holmes vitals "W-Why is Holmes-san with Master?" She asked confused

"I was saved by him." Red admitted

Salter frowned.

"I see, that is good." Salter reluctantly said, "Basically, you returned here without contacting us even a single time?" She asked in a bit of an angry tone "Alongside this suspicious man, is it?" She looked at Holmes "...I see."

"Allow me to introduce myself once more." Holmes said gaining everyone's attention "My name is Sherlock Holmes. My class is Caster, but unfortunately, I will not be able to help you in combat. My apologies."

"Hmph, if you aren't useful, then I don't care. Well, I'll thank you for saving Master, though." Jalter says with her disgusted tone "Adieu."

"Unfortunately, I cannot leave yet. Now then... Shinjuku Archer, shouldn't you come out soon?" Holmes called out to Archer

Archer stepped out and with a clearly fake cheer of enthusiasm greeted Holmes.

"Hello, Holmes. It has been a very long time since I last met you, hasn't it? Un, well then, bye!" Archer blatantly says

Archer tried to walk away nonchalantly.

"What exactly do you think you're doing?" Holmes asked making Archer stop

"No well... at that time, I formed the best plan I could, but..." Archer says as if he was trying to hide something "Now that I think about it, even if the other party was 'myself', the fact that it was dangerous remained unchanged. I know that it wouldn't change that I scared you. I thought of apologizing quickly, but..." Archer contemplates for a bit "How to say this... sorry..." He apologizes bowing to Red

Seeing Archer apologizing, Red had a troubled expression.

"Even if you apologized..." Red said

"As I thought, this is Shinjuku, Tokyo, in other words, Japan. I have to follow the culture of this land..." Archer says as he spins around gesturing to all of Shinjuku "Harakiri! Is it harakiri?! I heard it's really painful!" He made a pained gesture of holding his heart in pain
