Seeing that Andersen had nothing more to say, Jekyll could not help but say:
"what about me?"
"you?"
Andersen looked at Jekyll, who was staring at him eagerly, and said without hesitation:
"Our team is already full, and adding you would make it a bit bloated."
"Besides, you are not as good as Sir Mordred in terms of combat ability, and you are not even as good as Shakespeare and me in terms of support ability. It is only a matter of time before you are optimized out. Just get used to it."
Andersen raised his hand and patted Jekyll's shoulder comfortingly.
It's the height difference that makes this interaction a little funny.
"Hahaha, indeed, you look gentle and refined, and it seems that you are not even as good at fighting as the Master. Just stay here and wait for our good news!"
Mordred couldn't help laughing.
Jekyll: "..."
So if there is no room for me to participate, why do you want me to know so much? !

evening.
Lin Qi walked carefully on the street holding the holy flag.
The way he peeks out gives off a sneaky vibe.
suddenly.
A petite figure appeared behind Lin Qi, with a sharp and cold light flashing on the dagger in her hand.
"Qiang!"
The dagger that Jack the Ripper stabbed at Lin Qi's back was blocked by a golden light.
This is the light of the Noble Phantasm.
After realizing something was wrong, Lin Qi decisively activated his treasure to protect his entire body.
"Eh? Why did Big Brother block my attack differently this time?"
Jack the Ripper took a few steps back, his face full of curiosity.
Lin Qi still didn't answer. He turned around quickly and looked at her vigilantly while slowly moving backwards.
"Alas, big brother is still so boring~"
After waiting for a while, Jack the Ripper sighed when Lin Qi didn't speak.
"But - this time, 'we' won't just fight and leave like before!"
After saying this, the expression on her face suddenly became cruel.
Holding the dagger again, as before, against the backdrop of the thick fog, he transformed into a swift black shadow and continued to attack Lin Qi.
The two daggers in her hands were like flying murderous butterflies, both gorgeous and dangerous. Combined with Jack's petite body and the constantly fired flying knives, in this not-so-empty alley, she continuously launched attacks from all directions, including left, right, front, back, up, and down, making it hard to defend against.
Faced with such a rapid attack, Lin Qi, whose agility attribute was weakened, would block it if he could, and use his treasure to deal with it if he couldn't.
Compared to Hector's output, Jack's attack under normal circumstances is obviously limited, and it is not easy to deal with him.
The sound of blacksmithing continued to ring out, and the sparks produced by the collision of iron tools kept lighting up. Lin Qi, who was in a panic, was still fighting and retreating.
Lin Qi, who was somewhat exhausted from dealing with the situation, couldn't help but look behind him and found that the corner of the alley was not far away.
He gritted his teeth, quickly quickened his pace, and retreated towards the corner.
Humph, you want to escape?
Jack the Ripper gave an evil smile and quickened his pace before rushing over.
Relying on her speed, she even wanted to run over there first and wait, then force Lin Qi back.
Unfortunately, she was so excited that she didn't notice the pitying look in Lin Qi's eyes after he noticed her gaze.
Like a husky that has broken free from its reins, Jack used the wall for a little leverage, flipped his lithe body in the air, and landed steadily at the corner, stirring up a barely perceptible cloud of dust.
The cat-playing-with-a-mouse look then turned to Lin Qi, who was still several steps away.
Before she could crouch down, he got into an attacking stance again.
"call--!"
A large hand wrapped in heavy armor suddenly broke through the mist at the corner and grabbed her neck.
“——Huh?”
Jack, who was obviously not expecting this, was completely stunned.
'Why didn't I notice her presence...?'
With such doubts in mind, she only had time to utter one syllable before her slender neck was grabbed.
Under Mordred's powerful strength, the bones made a harsh friction sound, and if you listened carefully, you could even hear the sound of bones breaking.
Jack's voice suddenly stopped, leaving only a meaningless "ho ho" sound.
The pupils also showed signs of turning upwards, and the eye sockets were filled with whites.
"Swipe!"
The two daggers in her hands turned upwards and stabbed at Mordred's arm without hesitation.
"Ah!"
Mordred looked at Jack's broken scalpel with disdain. Such a weapon couldn't even break her armor!
Without any intention of defending, Mordred wielded the royal sword Clarent in his other hand and stabbed Jack's heart with all his strength.
"Qiang!"
"Pfft!"
As expected, Jack's scalpel was deflected by Mordred's arm armor, and Clarent completely penetrated Jack's body, with the silver sword protruding from behind him.
"ended."
Jack the Ripper's pupils became dilated, his struggling body gradually lost strength, and the two scalpels slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground.
With a crisp sound, Mordred threw it aside.
Golden dots of light spread over the already motionless figure.
I can only say that this is what happens when a fragile assassin like this is grabbed by a heavily armored warrior.
Jack the Ripper - Out!

Chapter 84 Mephisto—Exit.
"Shh! Come back soon, there's more!"
Andersen, who was also hiding in the corner, put his finger in front of his lips and waved frantically with his other hand, signaling Mordred to come back quickly.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Now is the time for you to take action, be quick!"
Seeing that Mordred retreated obediently, Andersen continued to speak to Shakespeare behind him.
"[The show is about to start. There should be thunderous applause here]!"
Shakespeare did not hesitate and activated his own treasure as planned.
……
……
“Yohoho——!”
A clown in a blue tights broke away from his spiritual body and stood in the corner, grinning as he watched Lin Qi and "Jack the Ripper" fighting in front of him.
Mephistopheles is a demon who tempts people's hearts in Goethe's masterpiece "Faust". Mephistopheles made a bet with God on whether Dr. Faust would fall, and tried to lead the doctor into the abyss of evil.
But to be honest, for Lin Qi, this person's presence is really too low. Lin Qi had never heard of the work "Faust" before he looked up information in Chaldea.
——To be precise, Lin Qi has no interest in drama. If Shakespeare wasn’t so famous, he wouldn’t even know anything about Shakespeare.
Therefore, Lin Qi's only impression of this clown is that his CV is Zi'an and he is a big asshole.
Mephisto kept his smile on his face, and stroked his chin with his slender fingers.
"Oh, how should I start the battle? Plant a bomb on him with my Noble Phantasm and explode one first? Then, show the bombs and force him to tell a joke to eliminate one. When all the bombs are eliminated, laugh sarcastically and show the last bomb in reverse - hehehehehe! "
Mephisto imagined a beautiful picture, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to his ears.
He acted together with Jack the Ripper. After Jack the Ripper found that Lin Qi was the only one wandering around, the two of them finalized their plan.
Jack the Ripper went first to hold Lin Qi back, and they would then take care of the Master together after he arrived.
The plan is indeed simple, but as long as it's a two-on-one situation, there's no way they can lose, right?
"Now, let's go over and say hello~"
Mephisto took out his big scissors and walked carefully towards the place where the "two people" were fighting.
As if by coincidence, a familiar corner was waiting ahead on the road he was traveling.
"Hey, dear little Master, I'll be there soon—"
“Ah, Red Thunder——!”
A powerful voice sounded beside my ears, a majestic aura of magic swept through my body, and the corner of my eye reflected the red thunder.
"Buhao, there is a trick!!!"
Mephisto was horrified, and the smile on his face instantly distorted. He was like a cat frightened by a mouse, and he wanted to jump away from where he was.
"call!"
He had just jumped when he saw Lin Qi, who had been fighting just now, appear on the other side of him in the blink of an eye, and the flag in his hand smashed down on his waist like a stick.
“It’s over—”
Feeling the irresistible force coming from his waist and abdomen, the smile on Mephisto's face toggled several times before finally settling on misery.
"Die to me!"
Mordred said fiercely, and with a blow of [Magic Release], he chopped down Mephisto's head.
The red thunder briefly dispersed the surrounding fog, and the floor tiles in front were also blasted into a "straight line", with gravel and dust flying everywhere.
Mephisto - Exit!
"Huh! It's over! I didn't expect that I could kill two servants with just two strikes of the sword. It was really satisfying, but also a bit boring."
Mordred gathered his magic power, patted the sword in his hand, and his face showed a slightly melancholy expression.
"Be happy, Sir Mordred. Not every battle can be resolved so easily."
Andersen walked out from the corner comfortably, holding his book treasure.
"Alright, alright, stop showing off."
"I admit that you are quite capable, but I don't quite understand why it is so smooth."
Mordred shook his hands speechlessly, then asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Isn't this plan something we came up with on the spur of the moment? Especially that Jack the Ripper, how come he didn't find us?"
"It's The Emperor's New Clothes, Mordred. I can see you don't usually pay attention in class."
Andersen looked at Mordred as if he were his husband.
Indeed, the plan was improvised.
Their original plan was just to defeat them one by one, but when Lin Qi's [Revelation] discovered that Jack the Ripper and Mephisto seemed to be together.
Andersen then made this plan in reverse.
