[color=fff79a]"...really, now?"[/color]

At Nakae's statement of resolution, the corners of Ruler's lips turned upwards slightly. Even with his sunglasses on, it was clear to tell that, despite the utter absurdity of what had just been said, he was impressed at some level. 

[color=fff79a]"You have one inactive Command Seal, no Servant, and from the look of you, you're not even a magus. Forget taking on a Servant, if you just plan on taking on an experienced Master, you'd die four times out of five. Even given all of that, though, you're still planning on fighting?"[/color]

The overseer shook his head slightly, a chuckle leaving him. [color=fff79a]"Well, it's not my place to stop you. As per your decision, you're henceforth a continued participant in the Holy Grail War. If not for my restraining of that freak, you'd already be dead, so you won't get any aid from me as per my neutrality. Similarly, you are not under my protection due to this decision. I can only hope you do not regret this choice. If your desire is strong enough though, then I'm sure a path will manage to appear."[/color]

Before he could go on, though, the comatose Master of the departed Boxzerker awoke. Ruler turned slightly to face her, coughing slightly at just how casually he was referred to as "the gaudy dude". At the girl's sudden outburst, though, he let out a slight sigh. [color=fff79a]"As the now-partnerless Master can attest, there is a Servant in this war who commands 'monsters'. In all likelihood, what had 'kidnapped' the magus was one such being. He has almost certainly been killed by that Servant."[/color] He explained with a tint of coldness, his mind going back to the thought of that freak. 

For something to be referred to as a monster, the most likely candidate was one of her demons. Granted, Ruler had no idea why the Boxzerker had said his Master was "kidnapped", but chalked it up to an eccentricy of that Servant. After all, he was hardly a normal one; in all likelihood, the Master was simply grabbed and then killed seconds later. The Berserker wasn't particularly powerful among Servants, so the idea of one of those demons being able to overpower him wasn't outside of the imagination. All in all-

[color=fff79a]"Hm?"[/color]

Ruler froze up slightly as a chill ran down his back. Something in a sense beyond the physical, not born of his own abilities but rather born of the container that the Holy Grail had assigned him, screamed into his head to the point of being deafening when his mind moved to dismiss the girl's claim. 

This was wrong. The same kind of wrong as when that Lancer died. The same kind of wrong that was why the Holy Grail had decided he was necessary. 

[color=fff79a]"...this monster, describe it to me."[/color]
