章 145: Extra Berserk
The fake berserk then spoke. Would like some tea, there is a new tea shop that has opened by a woman.
Kadoc just looked at him. Why not, I am kinda trusty.
Anastasia spoke in his mind. What kind of Trusty my dear.
Kadoc spoke back. I need water, I am not horny my ice queen
As the walked to the tea shop, as they did they saw a woman was running as she was working on making tea in a wabi-Cha style, The woman has white hair and becomes black, pupils as black as void, wearing a red Kimono, as she looked at them.
The woman looked at them. May I help you.
Kadoc just looked at her eyes which sent a chill donw his spine. Yes we would like some tea.
The woman looked at him and nodded. Alright then you can wait.
Anastasia then spoke. Can we know your name miss.
The woman spoke. Sen No Rikyū
The trio took there seat as Kadoc once again started the mental conversation with Anastasia.
Kadoc just looked at Anastasia before he started to speak. Will that was easy to find the extra Beseker. Kadoc mentally said looking at Sen No Rikyū
Kadoc and Anastasia took their seats, the atmosphere in the tea shop serene and inviting despite the unsettling presence of Sen No Rikyū. The woman began preparing the tea with a practiced grace, her movements fluid and almost hypnotic.
Kadoc continued the mental conversation with Anastasia, his thoughts laced with curiosity and caution. *"Finding the Berserker was easier than expected, but there's something unsettling about Sen No Rikyū. Her demeanor seems too calm for the circumstances. We need to tread carefully."*
Anastasia responded mentally, *"Agreed. Her presence here and her seemingly effortless approach to tea preparation could be a façade. She might be hiding something. Let's keep a close watch on her while we converse with the Berserker."*
As Sen No Rikyū served the tea, the trio took sips, appreciating the intricate flavors. The tea was exquisite, a blend of subtle yet rich notes that spoke of years of mastery.
The Berserker, still seated in a corner of the shop, observed them with interest. His expression was inscrutable, but there was an underlying tension in his posture. Kadoc decided to initiate a conversation, hoping to discern the Berserker's true nature.
Kadoc leaned forward slightly, maintaining a casual tone. "So, Berserker, what brings you to this tea shop? It's quite an unusual place for someone of your... reputation."
The Berserker looked up, his eyes reflecting a mixture of amusement and wariness. "Sometimes, even those bound by battle seek solace in simple pleasures. The tea here is renowned, and I find it... calming."
Anastasia, curious about the Berserker's words, interjected. "You speak as if you're more than just a fighter. Do you have any particular allegiance or purpose here?"
The Berserker's gaze shifted to her, and he seemed to weigh his words carefully. "I am here because my path led me to this place. I have no particular allegiance to any side in this Lostbelt. I seek only to understand the nature of this world and my place within it."
Kadoc raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the Berserker's response. "You're saying you're not tied to any faction? That's unusual for a Berserker. Are you saying you're not part of the conflict?"
The Berserker shook his head slowly. "Not directly. I am a participant by circumstance, not by choice. My actions are guided by my own quest for clarity."
As the conversation continued, Sen No Rikyū served more tea, her presence seeming to loom over the discussion. Kadoc and Anastasia kept their focus on the Berserker, trying to gauge his sincerity.
Finally, Kadoc spoke up. "If you're not aligned with any particular side, then perhaps there's a way we can work together. We're in a delicate situation, and any information or assistance you can offer might be valuable."
The Berserker considered this, then nodded. "I am open to cooperation if it aligns with my goals. However, be aware that I do not act without cause. You will need to prove your intentions and purpose."
Anastasia leaned in, her expression serious. "Understood. We'll share our goals and see if there's a mutual benefit in our collaboration. But remember, trust is earned, not given freely."
Sen No Rikyū, having completed her task, quietly observed the interaction, her expression unreadable. The atmosphere in the tea shop remained calm, but an undercurrent of tension persisted as the group continued their discussion.
Kadoc then looked at Sen Bi Rikyū before he speak in his mind to Anastasia. Securely what is almost all Historical Male figure are actually woman.
Anastasia spoke back using there mental connections. Remember what Artoria told, 'you find that History likes to portrayed Historical Figures as 30th something white dudes', or she could be a pasduo servant, or is using a female vessel, or she is from a different timline like Musashi, ok why is there so many options

Kadoc and Anastasia continued their mental conversation as Sen No Rikyū prepared more tea, the atmosphere of the tea shop remaining calm yet charged with the weight of their discussion.
Kadoc spoke mentally, "It's striking how many historical figures are portrayed differently from their true nature. Is it possible that Sen No Rikyū is a female Servant in a male historical context, or is she using a vessel or is she from a different timeline like Musashi? This situation feels more complicated than it seems."
Anastasia replied mentally, "Exactly. The nature of historical figures and their portrayal can be influenced by various factors. She could be a Servant using a female vessel, or perhaps she exists in this timeline differently from how history records. It's crucial to keep an open mind and gather more information. The multiple possibilities you mentioned just add layers to the mystery."
Kadoc glanced at Sen No Rikyū, noting her composed demeanor and the enigmatic quality she exuded. "We need to tread carefully. If Sen No Rikyū is indeed a Berserker and not aligned with any specific faction, her role and true nature could significantly impact our strategy. Our approach should be diplomatic and strategic until we understand more."
Anastasia mentally agreed. "Agreed. We should be observant and cautious. Our priority is to secure the cooperation of the Berserker and ensure our own objectives are met. Let's proceed with that in mind, and keep our guard up."
As they concluded their mental exchange, Sen No Rikyū approached their table with a fresh pot of tea, her gaze steady and her demeanor calm. The trio prepared to delve further into their conversation, mindful of the complexities surrounding their situation.
Sen No Rikyū then looked at both of them. So mind telling me why a master and his servant are here, you two are not part of the 7 master.
Kadoc just looked at her. You knew, actually fuck that Le Loi told.
Sen No Rikyū just looked at him. So he told you the gathe the extra servant even do all of us agreed we will not get involved in this was unless necessary
Sen No Rikyū's gaze remained steady, her eyes reflecting a depth of knowledge that hinted at her awareness of the Holy Grail War's intricacies. Kadoc and Anastasia exchanged a glance before Kadoc spoke up.
Kadoc responded, "Le Loi did inform us about the need to gather the extra Servants, but he also mentioned that this was to ensure we had a full picture of the participants. We're aware that this was a delicate matter and not everyone is keen on getting involved directly."
Sen No Rikyū nodded slightly, her expression thoughtful. "Indeed, not all Servants or Masters wish to be drawn into the chaos of the Holy Grail War unless their involvement is absolutely necessary. It's understandable why you might be cautious about this."
Anastasia, still communicating mentally with Kadoc, reflected, *"It seems that Sen No Rikyū is cautious but not outright hostile. This is a good sign. If we play our cards right, we might gain her cooperation without unnecessary conflict."*
Kadoc continued, "We're not looking to disrupt the status quo. We merely seek to understand the lay of the land and ensure that any potential threats or allies are identified. If there's any way we can facilitate a peaceful resolution or provide assistance, we're open to it."
Sen No Rikyū considered this, her expression softening. "I see. If your intent is to maintain balance and peace, then I suppose we can discuss this further. However, I must emphasize that we are bound by certain principles, and any involvement must be carefully measured."
Anastasia, breaking from her mental dialogue, added, "Precisely. We're not here to cause trouble but to gather information and ensure that the conflict does not escalate beyond control."
Sen No Rikyū gestured for them to continue, her tone a mix of curiosity and reservation. "Very well. If you wish to proceed, I'd like to understand more about your objectives and how they align with the overall goals of the Holy Grail War. What exactly are you hoping to achieve by seeking out the extra Servants?"
Kadoc took a moment before responding. "Our goal is to ensure that we're not blindsided by any unforeseen factors. By understanding the roles and alignments of all participants, we can better navigate the complexities of this war and potentially mitigate any risks. We also want to ensure that any decisions made will have minimal impact on the current balance."
Sen No Rikyū seemed to ponder this for a moment, her gaze thoughtful. "Your approach is reasonable. However, bear in mind that the Holy Grail War is inherently unpredictable. Even with the best intentions, outcomes can vary widely."
Kadoc nodded in agreement. "We understand the risks. Our aim is to act with caution and consideration, hoping to contribute to a favorable outcome for all parties involved."
As the conversation continued, Sen No Rikyū's demeanor became more open, though she still maintained an air of cautious optimism. The trio continued their discussion, each weighing their words carefully to build a foundation of trust and cooperation.
Meanwhile in a different place, Morgan and Mash approached the Extra Archer in the Chinese section. Zhou Yu, the renowned strategist from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, stood before them. His silver hair was tied in a ponytail, and his golden eyes shone with a mix of wisdom and determination. His battle armor was intricate, reflecting both his historical and legendary status.
Morgan, with a hint of intrigue in her voice, began, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Archer. I understand you've been involved in this war. Can you tell us more about your intentions and how you fit into this conflict?"
Zhou Yu nodded respectfully, his demeanor calm yet commanding. "Indeed, I am Zhou Yu, and I have been summoned to this war by forces beyond my control. My goal is to navigate this conflict with the same strategic prowess I used in my previous life. I seek to understand the landscape and find the most advantageous position for my allies."
Mash, observing Zhou Yu closely, added, "We've been trying to piece together the roles of all the Servants in this war. It's clear that each of you has a unique place and purpose. How do you see your role influencing the outcome of this conflict?"
Zhou Yu's expression remained composed. "In this war, my role is to strategize and provide insight. I have always believed that battles are won not just through brute force but through careful planning and understanding of one's enemies. My goal is to use my skills to steer the situation towards a resolution that benefits all parties, if possible."
Morgan, intrigued by his response, inquired further, "And what of the other Extra Servants? How do you view them, and how do you plan to interact with them during this war?"
Zhou Yu's eyes gleamed with thoughtfulness. "Each Servant, whether an ally or an adversary, has their own strengths and motivations. Understanding them and their strategies will be crucial. My intention is to approach each with a balance of respect and caution, seeking to form alliances where possible and navigate conflicts with minimal friction."
Mash, noting his strategic outlook, asked, "Are you aware of the other Extra Servants' identities and their possible affiliations?"
Zhou Yu shook his head slightly. "While I have some knowledge of their presence, I do not have detailed information about their allegiances or personal goals. My focus remains on my own strategies and ensuring that I can adapt to whatever challenges arise."
Morgan and Mash exchanged glances, appreciating Zhou Yu's perspective. Morgan then said, "It seems you have a clear understanding of your role. We'll do our best to ensure that this war remains manageable and that all participants have a fair chance."
Zhou Yu bowed his head slightly in acknowledgment. "Thank you. I hope our paths will cross in a manner that leads to mutual benefit. If there are any further discussions or alliances to be made, I am open to exploring them."
As the conversation concluded, Morgan and Mash prepared to leave, with a better understanding of Zhou Yu's position in the Holy Grail War. They were now one step closer to understanding the full scope of the conflict and the roles played by each Servant.
Mash just looked at him. By any chance why did you come to this section, seeing that That the main Archer Hou Yi is here.
Morgan just looked at Mash. There was never a rule that the extra servant can be the same section as the Main servant with the same class
Zhou Yu's gaze remained steady as he answered Mash's question. "Indeed, there is no rule preventing Extra Servants from being in the same section as their Main class counterparts. My presence here is simply a matter of where I was summoned. I haven't had the opportunity to meet Hou Yi personally, but I am aware of his status as the Main Archer."
Mash nodded thoughtfully. "I suppose that makes sense. Given the complexities of this war, it's not unusual for multiple Servants of the same class to be involved, each with their own roles and strategies."
Zhou Yu added, "Precisely. The dynamics of this war are multifaceted, and each Servant's presence adds to the overall complexity. My focus remains on fulfilling my role to the best of my ability, regardless of the presence of others with similar class designations."
Morgan, appreciating his clarity, said, "It's good to know that you're aware of the situation and ready to adapt. We'll continue to navigate this conflict carefully and ensure that all Servants can pursue their goals effectively."
As they prepared to leave, Zhou Yu's calm demeanor suggested a readiness to face whatever challenges the Holy Grail War might present. Morgan and Mash departed, now more informed about the role and perspective of the Extra Archer in this intricate battle.
