And thus, the adventure begins for the heroes as they move forward through the desert, riding a camel because why not?
It's a desert, everybody rides on one.
Mary opens up the map, now pointing toward the edge at the right lower corner, "I believe Medb should be around here somewhere."
Ritsuka glares at her, "You are just pointing your hands on the random point on the map. How would you know where she is?"
"Because she would really love staying far away from our kingdom. She has been trying to hide herself out from the eyes of the police ever since arriving here."
"Why?"
"Because during Ramadhan, sexual interaction is banned."
Hmm… thinking about who Medb is, he can understand why she chose to rebel against the princess. The question is, how?
Suddenly, his wrist receives a call, notifying both him and his allied Servant of this world.
Pressing on the button, Mashu's face shows up, screaming at him angrily, "Senpai, where have you been!?"
"Er… I…"
The purple-haired girl takes a look at the environment around him and turns even angrier, "Senpai, are you on a desert? Is that a new singularity!?"
"Oops?"
"Senpai, it's dangerous to go there without me! Did you even bring any other Servants with you!?"
"No…"
Gudako pops up beside her, chuckling at him, "What were you thinking, going off all by yourself like that?"
"It's… it's an accident…" Ritsuka rolls his eyes in guilt, "I just thought to check the blue wall on the gate because I can hear voices coming from there, but then I ended up here."
The orange-haired girl laughs at him louder, muttering, "It seems you have found a limited-time event. Guess you have to finish that up no matter what."
"Yeah, I guess so…" the man simply shrugs, "Then, can you transport Mashu over here. We are supposed to be looking for someone here."
At that instant, Mashu shows up near the camel he rides, looking upward and toward him, "Senpai, you have an explanation to do."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
She is now riding on the same camel, holding onto his waist tight, "Senpai, if Medb is lustful as she sounds like in this world, is it really a good idea to face against her?"
"What do you mean by that?" Ritsuka stares at her face, confused by her words.
Mashu suddenly turns red, screaming at him, "I-I-I- I'm just saying that…"
Mary smiles at them as she quickly speaks up toward them both, "Queen Medb you two have known before may have been nicer to you, albeit a bit flirty, but since this place forbids sex during daylight, Medb carnal desire becomes uncontrollable that she starts to seduce and brainwashed other male Servants into her bidding."
"That sounds a bit bad," Ritsuka mutters as he gives it a thought, "She became an enemy Servant back in America's singularity, and the nicer one was the one summoned into our Chaldea. Now I was wondering which one is worse."
The tanned Servant responds to him, "Be careful not to get too close to her. Her seduction is a Noble Phantasm now."
"That… is… not good…"
"Senpai!" Mashu speaks up to her Master, "If she is around, stay behind me. My suit can functions the same as Galahad's shield; it can nullify any lower ranked poison, including any aphrodisiac she may throw at you."
"What if she didn't use aphrodisiac for that?"
The team now silences, pondering on what they hell they are going to do next.
Mary laughs out loud toward them, "I'm just kidding, silly! There is no way Medb, of all people, would have something like that. That sounds like something straight out of hentai. No way the author would write something like that into the story."
"What author?" Mashu glares at her, confused as she ignores her.

At the corner of the world, there is a huge castle with a huge statue of love on top of it.
Within the throne room, a man is seen running all over the place, stumbling onto the floor right before a female in a white mink fur, who is sitting on the only chair in the room.
"What is wrong with you!?" the female glares at the man, "Don't you see I am enjoying myself with this pleasurable pleasure device!?"
The female is actually playing a game of some sort on her tablet, where it seems she is supposed to be using three characters at once to defeat enemies by using commands in the form of three ca-hey, wait a minute!
The man, a soldier with his head covered in medieval costume, pulls his head up and looks straight toward her, "Your Majesty, Jeanne D'arc has been trying so hard breaking our impenetrable wall!"
"So!?" the female moves her eyes back toward her tablet, "It's not like that virgin hasn't been trying to attack us this whole time. What's the actual problem here?"
"The problem is she is getting louder and louder with that cannon of hers! It's bothering everyone, Your Majesty! None of us could get any of our beauty sleep!"
The queen chuckles before screaming in laughter, "You lots shouldn't even think about sleeping! All of you should only concentrate on making me feel good!"
The soldier stands up straight, glaring at him, "You kidding me?"
"I am Queen Medb, and I never kid!"
Another soldier runs into the room, also stumbles and falls flat onto the floor.
"Oh, god, another one," Medb rolls her eyes, uninterested.
The newcomer stands up, screaming in fear, "The princess has sent reinforcement!"
"Reinforcement!?" the queen now screams in fear, accidentally throwing her phone onto the ground, "How many!? Who lead them!? Have the crazy zealot princess finally decides to abuse her soldiers to fight with empty stomach!?"
"There are just three people joining us, Your Highness…"
Medb glares at him, unable to say anything before she screams in anger, "My husbando, Fergus, take them away into the dungeon!"
"NO! NOT THE DUNGEON!"
"With your pleasure, Your Majesty!"
With that, a burly man with drill sword in hand jumps from the ceiling onto the floor ninja-style and grabs the soldiers' faces, dragging them out from the room.
Medb turns back toward her tablet as she picks it ip.
Her face turns horrified, looking at the cracked screen as she screams, kneeling down, "NO! I JUST GOT MEDB'S WARDEN COSTUME!"

The three finally reaches the castle, as they stare toward the castle.
"Is that the place?" Ritsuka turns toward Mary.
The former assassin nods, muttering, "This may looks like a simple castle to you, but she somehow calls it her 'Pleasure Castle' so it is quite disconcerting, really."
"I don't think a castle with a love statue on top of it is that simple…"
Mashu spots something, calling out to him, "Senpai, I see someone near the wall."
From her point of view, she sees a female in blue kebaya is standing before the wall, constantly shooting it with something that looks like an old-fashioned cannon.
Mary quickly looks excited, calling out to her from afar, "Jeanne!"
The female turns toward them, showing her blonde, short hair with blue hair pins keeping her bangs together.
She seems shocked but she waves back at her, running close toward her, "Mary, what are you doing here? And who are these people?"
The dark-skinned girl jumps off the camel, greeting her with a handshake with both hands, "We finally have a Master by our side!"
"M-Master!?" the blonde female looks really happy, quickly turning toward the two guests of this world, "You two!?"
"It's just me…" Ritsuka pulls up his hand, "Mashu here is a Servant."
Mashu seems to be staring her ever since they reached here, "You are Jeanne D'arc, no?"
"Yes, I am. Is there something you need to know?"
"You are a Christian, right?"
"I am a devout Christian at heart."
The purple-haired junior keeps questioning her, "Are you fasting like all of them?"
"Of course I am!" Jeanne moves close to her suddenly before noticing something, "Ah, you must have confused why I am celebrating the month owned by Islam when I still believed in Holy Spirit and stuff, right?"
As she sees the girl nods, she becomes even more excited, "While I still believed in Christianity, I am still allowed to live a life of a Muslim. I do not pray on their god, but that does not mean I cannot fasting for a month as well. Truly, living like one makes me appreciate people of different religion. That is why I appear in this world willingly."
"That sounds reasonable enough," Ritsuka nods.
Jeanne quickly turns around, pulling their attention toward the castle, "Enough about me. Right now I am still trying to break through the wall of this castle, but one person really is not enough for this job."
"Wait, one person?" Mary looks at her, confused, "The first time you are here, you have a significant number of people following you from behind. Where have they gone to?"
She quickly points toward a camp nearby. There, they see various armored soldiers laying around the place, with some of them putting ice on their faces and fanning themselves with paper fans.
"Of course," Mashu concludes, "This place is a hot desert, and for all of you to come here, expecting to win against several Servants… that's a tall order."
"Yeah…" Jeanne scratches her head sheepishly, "I didn't actually think this through… But, in my defense, Medb keeps on taking males away left and right."
Mary turns toward her, "What about your Noble Phantasm?"
"My NP is Anti-Team, not Anti-Fortress. I could never do anything against these."
Mashu steps forward, changing her clothes to fit herself as a Cyber-class Servant, "Then, I shall be creating a path for all of you!"
"Mashu, that NP of yours will take most of your fighting capabilities away from you!" Ritsuka speaks up to her, concerned, "You won't be having enough mana for any fight next!"
"It's okay, Senpai! I can still replenish mana by consuming food."
Jeanne chuckles with a guilty look, "Sorry, but you really shouldn't be eating during the day."
Mashu becomes silent for a while, before pulling her head up, "It's okay! I can still rest!"
The parts on her hands are being pushed together, forming a long cannon with legs, setting it up before the wall.
MANA CHARGE: MAXIMUM!
"Interchangeable Weapon System: Mode Cannon; fire!"
A huge purple beam is shot straight toward the wall, penetrating it straight onto the castle, burning some of them into a huge hole.
All soldiers run out of the camp and castle, looking at the place.
Medb is seen on the throne room, completely exposed as she turns to see the team.
Dropping her tablet, she screams at them, "What have you done to my sanctuary!?"
"Medb!" Jeanne screams at her, "You are under arrest for attempting to violate one of Eid Fitr's most important law; NO COPULATION DURING RAMADHAN'S DAYLIGHT!"
The queen looks very pissed as she now screams out, pointing toward her, "Fergus, kill that virgin!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Fergus jumps out of the ceiling, pulling his sword and pointing straight toward them, falling down onto them. At the same time, all soldiers running out of the castle are also preparing themselves to attack them.
"ENOUGH!"
Jeanne pulls out tons of bamboo cannons, lining them up one by one as she lights them up with a stick of flame.
"Over Excessive Celebration Over Syawal: MERIAM BULUH!"
BOMMMM!
All of them shot flames straight toward Fergus and the soldiers, and quickly obliterate them as only Fergus are being thrown off back into the castle.
Both Ritsuka and Mashu stare at her, jaw dropping as they are unable to comprehend what just happened, especially when Jeanne turns toward them, winking and happily fist pumping herself, as if she has been waiting for that moment to happen.
The soldiers on their side shrug, knowing that they already won this fight. They simply walk into the castle, as one of them speaks up to her, "Lady Jeanne, we are going to release all of the prisoners taken in by Medb."
"Hold on!"
Medb jumps down onto the ground, screaming and throwing her stick around, "Who do you think you are trying to stop me having fun!? All I want is to have food and sex all day long!"
"Then, why are you here in the first place?" Mary calls her out, "Participating in Ramadhan and Eid Fitr is not mandatory. Princess Hasanah has created a free zone at the end of the south of this place for all of you to stay in there, not tied up with the rules of this world."
"What south!?" Medb looks really pissed, "I have ventured there, and I see nothing! NOTHING!"
"Nothing!?" Mary looks shocked, "But… Princess Hasanah has built a kingdom complete with everything just for all of you to stay in there."
"Enough with the lies!" Medb now rides on a chariot, ramming straight toward the team, "Chariot My Love!"
Quickly, the three dodge the attack away from her, as she starts turning back toward them, more specifically toward Ritsuka.
"Wait, why is she coming straight toward me!?"
"Senpai, be careful!" Mashu tries to shoot her, but she ran out of mana.
Mary quickly jumps off onto Mashu's shoulder and jumps once more, this time throwing knives several time right onto the queen's body.
The chariot slows its movement, and disappears as soon as it stops right before her. She then falls before him.
"Wha- what just…"
"My NP," Mary smiles at him, "I can either paralyze them or outright kill them with my knives, though it is usually the former."
"Let me go!" Medb screams at them, "Why wouldn't you just let me do what I want!"
"We would," Mary mutters, "But you started kidnap other males into your castle."
"I was trying to make a place for people like me; people who doesn't want to stay the whole day not eating," the queen frowns at them, "I don't just have males in there, but females as well."
Mashu stares at her, "You are not trying to sleep with any of them?"
"No!" she screams toward her, "Where did you get that idea? Is it my NP!? Is it from my history!? Or do you still have a beef with me back in America?"
Ritsuka sighs, now moving his head up as he sees people walking out of there, looking confused while holding food in their hands.
"Jeanne!" a man with bulging eyes jumping out into the open, holding onto a tray of fruits, "Jeanne, have you changed your mind? Come, eat with us! It is lunch time, after all! This place is indeed SAIKOU NO COOOOLU!"
Jeanne seems really pissed as she smashes her two fingers right onto the man's eyes, "I've said before, Gilles, I AM FASTING!"
She suddenly takes notice of a man with silver hair walking out of the castle, munching onto a steak.
"Jeanne, is that you?"
"NOT YOU TOO, SIEG!?"
Another pair of eyes being sacrificed by Jeanne's ultimate scissors fingers, as both men are screaming and rolling all over the ground.
She stomps her way out of there, clearly not happy as she speaks up toward Mary, "I'll be reporting to the princess about this."
Mary simply nods at her before turning toward Ritsuka and Mashu, "Where are we going next?"
The Master thinks for a moment before speaking up, "How about the Nobunagas?"
End chapter.
Yes, this is going to be the tone for the rest of the story.
