In conclusion, due to misidentified location information, we ended up flying to Bucharest, Romania, after coming to France.
It seems it was set to France from Jeanne d'Arc's Ruler point of view.
In the process, we played around a bit before setting off again, but everyone looked at me with disbelief, and we ended up participating in the next Holy Grail War.
"There are times when you get it wrong."
"That aside, what information did you use to go there, Akira?"
To be honest, sorry to say…. While part of it was based on Fate/Grand Order, the downside was that I was so sure it was France because Jeanne d'Arc appears.

=============
Ruler=Jeanne d'Arc=Laeticia
Anyway, I could confirm that Apocrypha remained the same.
If the Servants had changed, there would have been considerable variables, but well, it wasn't strange for the location to be off.
The problem was that the word 'France' didn't disappear….
I don't know if it's because the Ruler is Jeanne d'Arc, but after tracking the location and confirming Bucharest, Romania, we could board the plane again.
I made one mistake, but I had no intention of misidentifying the location twice.
To repeat who participated this time: Artoria (Saber), Gawain (Saber), Emiya Shirou (Caster/Archer+Butler), Cú Chulainn (Lancer, probably), and Tamamo (pet) participated.
One of them is Bazett.
Bazett, who took on a role closer to surveillance and observer, was stationed to monitor me.
While Shirou and Rin have become such formidable figures that they wouldn't care about a Sealing Designation, the bigger problem is that they are considered dangerous targets because an individual possesses the Holy Grail.
Avalon and the Grail are in my heart, and using them is up to me, but this time I'm summoning seven Servants personally, and the mana from Tiamat contained in the Grail provides 99% backup.
Since it's not a Grail for wishing, but a Grail almost remodeled for summoning Servants, there was no need to worry about mana backup.
It contains enough mana to maintain even if Noble Phantasms are used daily for about 30 days, but in the process, Tiamat entered sleep mode.
That's why Tiamat wasn't on this journey.
In Fate/Zero, we won with Tiamat's backup and combat, but considering there's no support afterwards, it might be quite dangerous.
Well, even if 14 Servants come at us, the incarnated Servants are also filled with top-tier powerhouses, so I don't think we'll lose.
There's the Butler who uses Noble Phantasms like consumables, and I'm just trusting the Butler who can counter enemy Servants.
In conclusion, it might be better to just use the name Emiya rather than Shirou.
If Shirou came here, he might have danced with swords.
In essence, it might feel like Muramasa, but Shirou precisely has a battle maniac constitution.
Well, the reason he only makes swords is due to trauma about cross-dressing, and learning kendo falls into the category of wanting to beat opponents like heroic spirits.
In the process, Emiya experienced it, and from Emiya's perspective—who proved he's not the Shirou we know—his pride might be hurt.
Well, even if Heracles appeared, Shirou might not run away but fight prepared with weapons, and if he succeeded in compressing a Reality Marble like Muramasa's into a sword and slicing with a single blade, it might be an overkill.
Well, it's just a possibility, but if he made a sword that compressed Noble Phantasms into one, it would be a disaster.
If you compressed the effects of Noble Phantasms like Excalibur + Arondight + Excalibur Galatine + Noble Phantasm abilities made by Shirou + Rule Breaker, etc., what would happen?
First of all, Excalibur could be applied like Arondight, not emitting light, and if Excalibur Galatine was applied to the sword's blade, he would become a cheat character. But at that level, he might become a terrifying figure—whether a magus or a swordsman—who could easily take down even a Root-reacher.
Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms might just be sliced like butter. That's a possibility I hold.
Well, anyway, we arrived in Bucharest and moved towards the location they were marked.
The Servants and Bazett also had complaints and grievances, but what could I do?
Even if I wanted to find the exact place, I was a person who didn't know foreign countries well, so finding it wasn't easy.
It was fortunate that Fuyuki's map structure was small, but now it was just moving in the direction the map indicated, even taking a plane to a place I didn't know.
And so, after walking for about 2 hours, I took out the Grail and prepared to summon the heroic spirits.
The seven Servants are:
Saber = Benienma
Lancer = Hector
Archer = Arjuna
Rider = Georgius
Caster = Xuanzang Sanzang
Assassin = Li Shuwen
Berserker = Penthesilea
That was the decision.
There was also the intent to target Achilles, and I know about the relationship between Achilles and Medea, but since we had Tamamo for Onmyoudou-related matters, I didn't bring Medea. She became the magecraft instructor for Shirou, Rin, and Ruby.
Now, a large summoning circle was drawn, and in its center lay the Grail.
The number of Servants to be summoned simultaneously was seven.
The Grail's mana was so full it was almost overflowing, and since it was a Grail for maintaining Servants…
“Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill.
Repeat each five times. Just shatter the filled time.
I declare.
Your body shall be under my command, my fate shall be with your sword.
If you follow the will of the Holy Grail and obey this feeling, this reason, then answer.
Swear here.
I am the one who shall become all the good of the world, I am the one who shall lay out all the evil of the world.
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power,
Come forth from the ring of restraint, guardian of the scales!”
"Servant Saber. The tongueless sparrow Benienma, I have come here to serve. I look forward to working with you."
"Uhe~ This old man is Lancer, True Name is Hector. Well, nice to meet you."
"Servant, Archer. I am Arjuna. Master."
"Rider, Georgius. I have come in response to the summoning."
“I am Xuanzang Sanzang! I have materialized here by the guidance of the Holy Grail! This must also be the Buddha's guidance! Class is Caster!”
"My name is Li Shuwen. I am but an old man, without even a spear……."
"But, protecting your body to that extent should be no problem. I'll be in your care, Master."
"Queen of the Amazons, Penthesilea. I have appeared in response to the summoning. … Achilles!!!!!? Huh? Hector? You…, you reek of Achilles."
“Oho? Penthesilea? Haa, this old man was so obsessed with that he was loved by Achilles. I lost in the end, but who would have thought I'd come prepared with a Noble Phantasm to duel again?”
“Is that so…, I shouldn't judge by smell. I almost went for Hector by mistake….”
“I'd like to decline that? If I'm treated like Achilles, this old man's heart might be hurt too."
“That aside, something is strange about this Holy Grail War. Are you the Master?”
“Uhe~ It seems I have only one Master too, and the people behind are Servants, but they feel incarnated?”
“Huh? I don't mind~”
“Seven Servants…, to call it a Holy Grail War with only one Master…. It's strange.”
U21nUVJBTjFlUlpoZWdhS1l5Q1pTYzhPcFUvVEZqWVAwUlFyRkc3Ylc5NHFVMXpaZmJXVFVoSWRaQVhwLzhxcA
“I don't mind. As your Master, I will uphold the old way of thinking: when the servant dies, save the master; when the master dies, die together.”
“Hmm… I don't really know why I was summoned, but I'm sure there's a reason.”
“Hmm, why was I summoned?”
Some Servants have questions, and some are suspicious.
And then I clapped to draw the Servants' attention.
“Now, now, first…. Where should I start? The reason I summoned seven Servants is to conclude the 7vs7 Holy Grail War and retrieve the Grail, but also because if the Grail activates the Third Magic for all humanity, it's better to destroy it.
First, Saber Benienma…. Regardless of the Holy Grail War, I wanted to summon a cook. (Chirp!?)
I summoned Hector and Penthesilea as a combination to torment Achilles. (Achilles is here! Master!!!!!/ Hey, calm down, Penthesilea.)
Arjuna, handle Karna. (Is that so…, this time for sure….) Well, there's no guarantee of a 1vs1, but to get an angle, you'll have to fight at the right timing. I wonder if you can have the patience for that…, (It's fine. If I can fight Karna with all my might, I don't mind.)
Well, Georgius, Xuanzang Sanzang, Li Shuwen—I summoned them without much thought, but for Georgius, there's one Ruler summoned in this war and one incarnated Ruler who will appear.
(I see….)
(Then, what about me?)
Xuanzang Sanzang, well…, even if you get eliminated on this journey, I don't particularly mind, but if you want to incarnate, you can do so anytime.
(Heh? Did you summon me randomly with no purpose?)
Not exactly, I also wanted to see a physical Caster…. Isn't that a big enough reason?
(It's just like babysitting!)
Uh…, well, I guess so. Anyway, Li Shuwen…. He feels more like a martial artist or warrior than an Assassin, but anyway, summoning Hassan wouldn't be bad either, but I summoned him trusting in Li Shuwen's skill. Well… anyway, in this Great Holy Grail War, fight however you want. I don't plan to command, but Hector and Penthesilea, torment Achilles until his blood pressure kills him (That's right, I'll kill him slowly./ Heh~ this is getting interesting?),
Arjuna, handle Karna. (As you command)
Georgius, make contact with Jeanne d'Arc. Accompany Jeanne d'Arc. (One of the Rulers is Jeanne d'Arc, I see…. Very well. This journey will be long.)
The Servants I haven't specified will either act with me or be commanded. Maybe? (That's too uncertain!? Chirp chirp!)”
And then the incarnated Servants replied.
“Akira, isn't our military strength insufficient like this? If we go like this, there will be casualties….”
“I've already prepared for that. Expecting otherwise in a great war is foolish, but I think a tragedy without regrets is better than one filled with regrets.”
At those words, Artoria smiled and said.
“I see.”
Seeing that, Gawain, beyond a surprised expression, smiled and nodded, and Emiya just nodded with an expression that said, 'There really are people like this.'
Meanwhile, Bazett and Cú Chulainn spoke.
“Then, this Holy Grail War will be a big one.”
“Haa, I guess I'll have to prepare seriously. Just a spear won't be enough to be satisfied against so many great heroes.”
“I would like to participate too, but… a Holy Grail War that interferes with a 7vs7 would be truly dangerous. I'll just stand by.”
And so, Bazett withdrew from this war, giving Cú Chulainn her last words.
“Cú Chulainn, come back alive.”
“Yeah, I'll come back with warrior-like wounds!”
Cú Chulainn said playfully with a smile, but it's said he was hit by Bazett and knocked down.
The Servants watching felt a sense of 'youth' from the scene.
