Definitely. I think someone said it last update, but this also possibly explains people going missing. If Archer had to consume people, or make them consume mermaid flesh to enable this Noble Phantasm, then they probably aren't able to return to normal life afterward.
I'm pretty sure that was me too...
I just want to make sure that everyone notices.

More importantly we can get more command seals from the church for beating archer.

We could probably make a pretty good case of it, but without definitive evidence, any rewards would likely have to wait until Caren and the rest of the church can confirm it for themselves.

The seals would still likely be given, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bit of a waiting period first. This isn't like F/Z where Risei already knew Caster was the culprit, anyone could be guilty. With how masters would have a vested interest in the seals, making false accusations a distinct possibility, anyone trying to collect the bounty would need to back up their claim or let the Church double-check their findings.

That makes sense, but I wouldn't say it could be anyone right now I think the likelihood is Archer > Manaka > Sakura

Manaka already told us it wasn't her and I'm inclined to believe here. (unless you mean from the perspective of the church in which case you're probably right)

Pretty much this. We have a ton of evidence pointing at Archer doing it, and Manaka is ruled out for the reasons you mentioned, but they wouldn't know that. I was mainly commenting on how we probably shouldn't make any plans that hinge on the extra seal in the near future when it seems probable the overseers will want to double-check, assuming they haven't found any leads that point them at Archer.

On a side-note, is anyone else worried that Archer's master is explicitly looking to capture Manaka? Either it's something with her host or they have a plan for the god-loli but neither possibility strikes me as a good thing.

I feel like the metaphorical mountain of corpses would be pretty damming evidence in the eyes of the church, unless Archer cleans up after herself.

Archer looking to kidnap Manaka is
A: easier said than done especially with the blackened servants she pulls up and

B: only a problem if she succeeds and Manaka decides to turn on us.
 
[x] "You talk too much. Why don't you try and kill me first, you hag?"
 
Opening
[] "You talk too much. Why don't you try and kill me first, you hag?



"You talk too much. Why don't you try and kill me first, you hag?" Assassin growled as she bared her swords.

Archer smiled and raised her hand to let loose her undead. Assassin felt her blood grow cold as she killed off her hesitation and emotion. The only things that mattered was cutting down those that stood in her way.

Turning her sword, she dashed forward and slashed. Slicing off the arm of one undead, she jumped to drive a kunai into the neck of another before turning to chop off the leg of the next.

One loomed over her and swiped down but she cut through his hand and grabbed him by his clothes, lifting him up before throwing him into a group of corpses. Assassin tensed and dodged a powerful shot by Archer.

So that was her plan.

Assassin moved as she cut and sliced through bodies, ripping through then before grabbing one to use as a shield. However Archer's shots were powerful enough to blow through each person as if they were set paper.

Grabbing the arm of the torn person, Assassin let out a breath and threw the corpse through the battlefield towards Archer. It was blown apart just as a bomb was tossed into the air. It exploded and smoke filled the area, swallowing the many undead whole and allowing Assassin to sink her blades into them one by one.

She cut through them and kicked one onto the smoke, allowing Archer to shoot it as she jumped over the body. Darting forward, Assassin flew and smashed against Archer.

" Crescent Kick(Water Arts)," Assassin turned and spun in the air to sweep her heel over Archer's head.

Landing on the ground, she dragged her blade along the waters and cut up, splashing the air and hitting Archer with her blade. With the water splashed first, Archer dodged the splash but not the blade itself, causing a hot pain to erupt on her neck.

"Too shallow, Shinobi," Archer smirked as she dashed back to draw her naginata. She slashed but Chiyome had jumped and thrown kunai to keep up the pressure, forcing Archer to block. This allowed Assassin to knocked down the naginata and step on it.

Assassin cut and she passed through Arched and slid back. Looking up a chunk of Archer's neck had been severed but the woman still stood. She smiled as she held out her prayer beads.

"Ah... May the Buddha forgive me for this," she whispered as she faced Assassin with a smirk.

You clashed with Minerva again as she pointed her gun at you. She fired and her bullet was caught by your rune. You were kicked back and you rolled on the ground, only for you to look up as Minerva smashed down her fist on you.

Dodging back, you saw an opening and thrust your sword into her eye. Minerva used her gun to parry the blow, sparks flying between the two of you before you bounced off one another.

You inscribed a rune from a distance, "Ansuz!"

Minerva felt her hand grow hot as her gun was set on fire. You then splashed the ground, freezing the droplets and launching them at her. Minerva clenched her left fist and smashed each one out of the air before shooting towards you.

"Emergency Mode Activate," Minerva laughed as she got close enough to punch you.

"Aegis!" you snapped as you caught her fist with your shield of light.

Minerva smirked as she spoke, "You're not the only one. Aegis!"

A shield of light expanded right in front of your own. The two shields interacted and promptly shattered, giving you and Minerva the chance to meet and clash.

"That broken body can only hold out for so long.... And you chose to fight now?" Minerva giggled as she shook her head, "We'll fulfill your dream for you, Brother. So why don't you just give up? We'll make a new Celine, stronger, better than the last one-"

"Shut up!" You snapped as you stepped forward and pressed your sword against her glove, "I won't have you monsters speak her name. Not after everything you've done to her!"

"But aren't you a monster too?" Minerva asked with an amused look.

You smiled and replied, "Yeah. That's why I'll drag you all to hell with me!"

You turned your sword and imbued it with magical energy. Minerva blinked as you cut through her glove and sliced off her fingers in turn.

Blood danced between you two as she smiled and made a fist with her injured hand and threw a punch. You weaved past it and cut her side as you turned and slid back.

"I see. Then let's dance our way to hell together, Brother!" Minerva said as she spread her arms.

.....
....
...

Manaka felt pain in her chest. She gasped in surprise and fell on her knees. The pain began to deal heavy blows to her mind.

"No. Not yet," Manaka grit her teeth as she struggled to stay up. Hyde continued to slaughter the undead away from her allies but she could feel him relish the fighting more.

She hasn't fully recovered from her battle with Ophelia Phamrsolone. That eye, it turned her connection brittle with this body.

At this rate, the Blackened will lose control.

"Hans... Can you hear me?" She whispered as she looked at the man fighting ahead.

.....
....
...

You slid back from being kicked by Minerva. She moved in and turned, her foot going by fast as you stood up. The two of you glared at one another just as Black Boxes appeared on both of your shoulders.

"Hans... Can you hear me?"

Manaka?

"I don't have much time left. Sorry... At least, I can leave you with something."

You turned her way as she held something before her hands.

Minerva noticed where you were looking and directed her Black Box towards Manaka.

"I'll be... Going to sleep for a little bit."

"Let Calamity dance! Surge and infect, Curses of the World!" Minerva roared as she opened the box of Curses, " Black Box of Calamities(Faux Pandora)."

"Manaka!" You yelled out loud.

Gah! Just binged and caught up. I desire MOAR.

Also, Minerva is quite a bit more emotional than last time it seems.

Well if we go with this the manaka problem will solve itself
