Chapter 1354: Preparation (1/2)
Haru didn't expect the next quest to be in the world of Fate/Apocrypha since there were a lot of series from Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Zero, Tsukihime, Fate/Grand Order, and even Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya.
However, it didn't really matter which series it was, the only problem that Shinobu would let her body be possessed by the Ruler which made him felt a bit complicated.
Fortunately, Haru knew the one who possessed Shinobu's body would be Jeanne D'Arc, but still, he needed to protect her no matter what when he came to the quest. He also needed to think about whether he should join Black Faction or Red Faction.
Unlike the usual Holy Grail War, in the Fate/Apocrypha, there were two factions that fought to each other to get the right to use the Holy Grail and those factions were Black Faction and Red Faction.
The Black Faction is made up of members of Yggdmillennia and The Red Faction consists of people selected by the Clock Tower specifically for the purpose of retrieving the Greater Grail and stopping Yggdmillennia's defection.
Haru tried to remember the story of Fate/Apocrypha and thought that it was better for him to join Black Faction rather than Red Faction.
It wasn't that the Black Faction was better or anything, but the people in Black Faction were much simpler than the people in Red Faction.
In Red Faction, this faction was being led by Amakusa Shirou who was also the Ruler within the Holy Grail War, but that wasn't the problem, the problem this guy dared to poison every master. in the Red Faction then made all the servants in Red Faction follow his words.
On the other hand, Black Faction wouldn't do such a trick since the being of the mage was a very prideful person and they hated such an underhanded attack.
If they wanted to kill him, then they would attack him from up-front rather than smiling saying that they were his friends and when they saw a chance, they would kill him without hesitation.
If he really joined the Red Faction, he wouldn't be able to sleep, especially when there was Semiramis, who was known as the Queen of Poison.
Haru knew very well what his weakness was and if possible, he wanted to stay away from that kind of dangerous woman. If he got close, he would be spirited and would try to conquer that woman. It was his bad habit, but it was very hard to stop it.
From the story, he knew that Semiramis didn't want to be treated like a trophy and wanted to work together, she even let Shirou Amakusa use her as his will to achieve his ambition.
Haru had to admit that Shirou Amakusa really had his own way with a woman since he also did the same with his woman.
Women weren't fragile, they were strong. If they weren't strong then it was impossible for them to hold a huge belly for nine months and hold a pain when they gave birth. When they loved someone, they wanted to help their man wholeheartedly, and that was why he let his women help him since he also needed their help.
However, because of that, he needed to treat them better, loved them more, wished to make them happy every day, and shouldn't betray them.
Anyway, let's return to the topic, that he and Shinobu would perform this quest together.
There were eight quests that he needed to complete in this world, and it should be possible for him to complete all of the quests, but then he was wondering who he should invite to the group chat for this quest.
Haru knew that he shouldn't invite Amakusa Shirou since Shirou's dream was just ridiculous.
'To make the world at peace.'
Haru knew that it was an impossible thing and once the world was at peace, there wouldn't be a competition and if there wasn't a competition, then the people in this world would be lazy and once that happened, before long, the world would be gone.
