In the world of Type-Moon, it all begins with becoming Morgan's husband!

She nodded, but then quickly realized something.

"What about you?"

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

Ian picked up another pair of stockings.

"Just mind your own business."

"Okay." Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded. "I'll find a way to protect myself as soon as possible, and I won't keep bothering you!"

"but--"

"May I make one more small request?"

"What are your requirements?" Ian looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. "Even though it's a collaboration, don't push your luck."

"Don't push your luck!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka covered her fairly well-developed chest with one hand and handed something to Ian in front of her with the other.

"Could you help me put this on? It's such a hassle to do it all by myself..."

"You've got some nerve asking me to do this kind of thing... You're really something else."

Ian took the things from the girl's hands.

"Time is running out, turn around, I still have to see the director later."

"Roger that!"

163. Olga Marie: Ian, I admire you! (4k)

On the Chaldean corridor.

Ian and Mash were walking side by side, looking very close.

Their target was the room where Olga Marie Animusfia, the current director of Chaldea, was located.

“Mashu,” Ian broke the silence.

“Yes, senpai,” Mash replied immediately.

"Chief, what kind of person is she?"

"Hey, this..."

Mashu lowered her head and began to seriously consider the question Ian had raised.

After a long while, she finally spoke:

"If you're going to ask this, senior—"

"I think the director is probably like 'The Crucible'."

"furnace?"

This is the first time Ian has used this word to describe someone.

He couldn't help but feel more curious about the director of Chaldea.

"Mash, what do you mean by this?"

"Senior, please think about it."

Mashu gestured a square shape with her hands.

"The director is a man with a bad temper, just like a crackling flame."

"In that case, why not just call her 'Blazing Fire'?"

"No, no, no!" Mashu waved her hands repeatedly. "Although the director has a bad temper, I can completely understand her situation."

"Because they are still young and could be enjoying their youth, but now they have to work in a place like Chaldea."

"A short temper and irritability are perfectly reasonable developments."

"but--"

“She was quite restrained, so I think the most appropriate word to describe her is ‘furnace’—a kind of fire that is restrained but also very effective.”

Suddenly realizing something, Mashu stopped.

She looked at Ian somewhat shyly and asked in a low voice:

"Senior, will you be offended if I presume to comment on others like this?"

Ian shook his head.

"Nothing."

"Or rather, Mashu, you've actually been quietly observing others all along, haven't you?"

"Hmm..." Mashu nodded, her face flushed.

"After all, if it's just observation, there's no need to go up and chat with others directly."

“That’s right—!”

Mashu looked up at the man beside her who was much taller than her.

"Senior, may I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"That's right……"

Mashu's mind was filled with the images from the medical room.

"Senior, what did you say to Fujimaru Ritsuka afterwards?"

"I'm curious."

"..."

Seeing that Ian remained silent, Mashu quickly added:

"I was just asking out of curiosity!"

"If you have nothing more to say, then just pretend I didn't bring it up!"

"She was very scared."

"Eh?"

Mashu paused for a moment.

“Oh… I mean, that’s what Ritsuka just said,” Ian explained with a smile.

"Because of the helicopter incident, she was worried that something might happen to her after she arrived in Chaldea."

"after all--"

"After experiencing something like that, you'll inevitably feel some fear."

"Oh!" Mashu exclaimed in sudden realization.

"So that's why you kept Mordred by your side, senior?"

“Hmm.” Ian nodded.

"Now that you've said that, Mash, you won't be jealous of her anymore, right?"

"I'm not eating it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Mashu realized that she had been led by Ian to say some very shameless things.

She stamped her feet, her face flushed with embarrassment, and cried out:

"Senior! Please don't embarrass me like this!"

"Good good."

You're still smiling!

After making a racket through several corridors, the two stopped in front of a room.

The sign on the door clearly read Olga Marie Animusfia.

This must be her office.

Ian's expression darkened—because he remembered Mordred being reprimanded.

Mashu cleared her throat and then gently knocked on the door.

"Director, I am Mash Kyrielight."

"I've brought the person you wanted to see."

As soon as Mashu finished speaking, the door in front of her opened automatically.

Then a voice floated out from inside: "Come in."

"Senior, let's go inside~"

So Ian and Mashu entered the room one after the other.

The man was also able to see the true appearance of the Chaldea director at this moment.

It was a silver-haired girl.

Her long, smooth hair was braided into an extremely complicated braid, with a single strand sticking up at the front.

Her amber eyes revealed a sharpness that seemed out of place for her age.

Her orange dress, adorned with elaborate aristocratic patterns, paired with an overcoat, made her appear much more mature.

Beneath the white dress were a pair of slender legs encased in red stockings.

This is Olga Marie Animusfia, the current director of Chaldea.

"Mash, you brought them here so quickly?"

"Yes."
