Hachiman Hikigaya was sitting on Astolfo's eagle, far from the coast, and did not receive orders from the rear immediately.

It has to be said that, so far, Hachiman Hikigaya is the Master most envied by everyone, because he has two Servants! It is said that beauty cannot compare to cuteness, and cuteness cannot compare to sexiness, but Hachiman Hikigaya's two Servants are one cute and one sexy.

No wonder everyone is envious and jealous. Of course, the man named Yu Ishigami has also aroused everyone's resentment. He is a cat wearing a naked apron, and he is also the tail of the peerless beauty Tamamo-no-Mae—the air is filled with the scent of lemons.

"Sister Scáthach, how much longer do we need to patrol?"

For the safety of others, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't feel it was hard work, but he did feel it was too crowded!

Just think about it, there's only so much space on the eagle's back, and Scáthach took up half of it, leaving even its owner, Astolfo, angry but unable to say anything.

So, whenever Hachiman Hikigaya and Astolfo were huddled together, Hachiman practically had to hold Astolfo to keep them from falling.

Although it's quite nice... this action is really strenuous!

Feeling Astolfo moving around in his arms, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed, "What a sweet burden."

“After we encounter the enemy,” Scáthach replied coldly, a hint of displeasure in her crimson eyes. “Understanding the details of the battlefield is not a detour, but a shortcut.”

"I need to assess the strength of my opponents myself."

"Haha." Hachiman Hikigaya chuckled dryly. He didn't know if it was just bad luck, but they had been circling the vast sea for several days without encountering a single Lahm.

Is this due to luck? After all, Scáthach has a D-level luck, but Astolfo has an A+ level!

However, Hachiman Hikigaya certainly didn't dare to say it out loud. He had already experienced Scáthach's Spartan behavior firsthand. If he dared to speak recklessly, he would really be in big trouble—like that big dog that was beaten up and seriously injured.

Hachiman Hikigaya's attention returned to his surroundings. Under the dim sky, the ocean presented a sense of danger and tranquility. The dark sea swayed slightly in the wind, rippling with light, creating a strange and beautiful scene.

But even the best scenery gets boring after a few days, let alone when the weather is terrible and there's never any sunshine.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya was still relieved.

He is a rare Master who can act alongside his Servants. This has little to do with how strong he is; it's simply because firstly, he has two Servants, and secondly, Astolfo's eagle can perform dimensional jumps, so safety is guaranteed, if nothing else.

The black-haired boy's eyes darkened slightly; at least until the final farewell arrived, he could maintain the status quo.

"What is Hachiman thinking about?" Hachiman was startled when Astolfo noticed his distraction after only a moment. He met Astolfo's beautiful, amethyst-like eyes.

“I’m thinking about those tragedies reported in the news,” Hachiman Hikigaya sighed. “If only we could encounter more enemies, at least we could prevent them from harming others.”

Although he complained about patrolling every day and how he would definitely get sunburned without Scáthach's rune magic, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't mind doing it. He thought that if he could patrol more areas, he could prevent more injuries.

“Yes, I can understand Hachiman’s feelings.” Astolfo nodded repeatedly. “The sadness of others also makes me very sad, so as a hero and as a knight, I cannot ignore those who ask for help.”

“Hachiman, didn’t you come with us?” Astolfo smiled. “So Hachiman is a very gentle person.”

"I'm not that good." Hachiman Hikigaya didn't think he had anything good about him. "Actually, I'm just a burden. It's you guys who are fighting." He was very self-aware.

“Strength is only one aspect.” Occasionally, Astolfo would utter some philosophical remarks. In a way, even if his rationality evaporated, he would still be the most reliable of the twelve paladins.

"Having the courage to step onto the battlefield is already quite remarkable."

Hachiman Hikigaya blushed furiously; if anyone praised him again, he'd want to jump off the hawk!

So he changed the subject: "Where's Scáthach? Why are you so enthusiastic?"

"Enjoy fighting, crave death, anything... Ha, just kidding, I won't let my personal desires affect the whole world."

Scáthach chuckled when she saw Hachiman Hikigaya's awkward expression.

"Since we responded as Servants, we were already prepared. We were summoned for this battle."

"Even if I crave to reclaim death, this time, I must win."

"Therefore, obtaining some information in advance is also crucial; I won't completely trust those magicians."

After all, Scáthach's own magical skills surpass those of most Servants of the Mage class.

“Hachiman.” Scáthach turned her head, her crimson eyes reflecting his face. “Don’t hesitate, don’t be afraid. We are your Servants, and that will not change as long as the contract remains in effect.”

"Do what you want to do, and don't leave any regrets."

Scáthach unusually displayed a mild attitude.

Hachiman Hikigaya felt a warmth in his heart: "I know, Scáthach-sensei."

This is why Hachiman Hikigaya didn't feel disgusted by Scáthach and Hiratsuka's violence; they were his true teachers and wanted him to become better.

"Hey, Hachiman."

Astolfo's voice faded in the sea breeze: "What is that?"
