"That--"

Ian looked at Mash.

Is there a way to restore the Command Seals?

"Well..." Mash pondered again, "It's said that Chaldea itself can restore one Command Seal for Masters every day, but I can't be sure if that's true."

"After all, so far—"

Mash looked at Mordred beside Ian.

"You seem to be the only one among all the Master candidates who has already summoned a 'Servant'."

Mashu doesn't lie to herself.

After a moment's thought, Ian smiled and replied:

"Okay, it doesn't matter."

The man reached out and placed his hand on Mordred's head.

“I believe that even without the Command Spell, she would not disobey my orders.”

"Isn't that natural?"

"You're mine..."

Mordred swallowed his words halfway through, his head being pressed down.

She remembered Ian saying not to reveal her relationship with him to others.

So--

Mordred glared at Mash.

This guy should also be considered an "outsider," right?

I can't tell her.

“This is my Master,” Mordred changed her tune. “Isn’t it only natural to act according to one’s Master’s orders?”

"Yes, that's right."

Mashu gave an awkward smile.

She was very nervous, completely unaware of Mordred and Ian's relationship.

But at the same time, she was also somewhat relieved.

After all, Mordred is a "Servant," not a Master candidate like Ophelia was before her.

Would a Servant fall in love with the Master who summoned them?

There probably aren't any "Servants" who come specifically to see their Master, right?

Their meeting must have been purely accidental.

Mashu comforted herself with these words, and felt a little better.

"Matthew."

Ian's voice brought the girl back to reality.

"W-what's wrong, senior?"

"Oh...don't be nervous."

"I just want to know—"

Ian looked at the shimmering white "battlefield" before him.

Has the simulation system returned to normal?

"Now that Artoria Pendragon (Saber)'s data has returned to normal, the corresponding simulation battle anomalies should also have been resolved, right?"

"I'll start the examination right now!"

After Mashu finished speaking, she immediately took control of the simulation battle panel.

The results were as expected.

The simulation battle went perfectly, as if nothing had ever happened.

"Mash, it seems we don't need to hide it anymore."

"Yes, it is!"

As Mashu answered, she still felt a sense of magic within her.

"anyway--"

The girl looked at Ian and Mordred.

"Senior, although I won't report your situation... it would be quite eye-catching if you had a 'Servant' by your side, wouldn't it?"

Before Ian could answer, Mordred spoke up first.

"You don't need to worry about that."

"If I wanted to—"

After the blonde girl finished speaking, Mashu suddenly trembled.

Ian was a little worried and immediately asked:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, it's nothing."

Mashu looked at Mordred in front of her.

"I just suddenly felt that her presence was very reasonable... like someone of great status had come here."

"This……"

Ian looked at Mordred beside him.

The latter wiped his nose and said with a proud look.

"This is something the king left me~"

"With it, wherever I go, Camelot will grant me a noble status!"

Is it a "treasure" similar to a blessing?

It must have been a magic trick Morgan left for her before that.

Ian sighed with emotion—she really doted on her youngest daughter.

But in any case, at least for now, the issue of identity has been barely resolved.

There's no need to stay here any longer in the simulation battle.

I can't just stop like this.

The road ahead is still waiting for us to extend it infinitely.

"Mash, Mordred, let's go out."

"Okay, senior. / Got it!"

Ian took one last look at the pillar of light where Artoria was, his expression somewhat complicated.

Emerging from the simulated battle space, Ian planned to let Mordred tour Chaldea further and ask Mash some questions about the Holy Grail War.

Actually, this was something that Ophelia would have been better suited to do.

But seeing how obsessed she was with the silver sword, Ian felt it wouldn't be right to just abruptly stop her—although she certainly wouldn't dare disobey him.

Besides, Mashu wasn't unprepared.

When faced with a situation that offers the best of both worlds, there's no choice but to opt for it.

but--

Just as Ian was thinking this.

As soon as he came out, he saw Fufu standing there.

It seems a little angry.

"Foufou, foufou (You knew I wouldn't come in, so you dragged Mashu in again, right?)?"

In this situation, Ian had to tease it a little.

"Hey, you little rascal, you actually guessed right."

However, what he didn't know was that while he was teasing the "cat"...

Mordred quietly moved closer to Mash.

She spoke in a cold tone:

“I said, Mashu.”

"You wouldn't—"

"You like my Master, don't you?"

[It's recommended to take a look back at Mordred's character card after this chapter.]

104. Mordred: Is she trying to become my mother?! (4,000-word chapter)

"Eh?!"

Suddenly having her secrets exposed by Mordred, Mash tensed up like a frightened kitten.

She subconsciously began to deny this claim.

"No, it's nothing!"

"It's not that I like Mr. Ian!"

As soon as Mashu said those words, she regretted it a little.

Because she suddenly realized a problem.
