"Director, I have an idea about how to handle this situation."

"idea?"

“Hmm.” Ian nodded.

"Director, since we don't know who did these things yet, I think it's necessary for us to establish a mechanism for communication."

"The mechanism of mutual connection?"

Olga Marie pondered Ian's words and suddenly understood.

"You mean, the Master candidates should communicate more with each other?"

"Yes."

Ian confirmed her statement.

"In this way, Director, you won't need to specially allocate manpower to ensure our safety, and you'll definitely have more resources to conduct the investigation."

"in addition--"

"You brought us to Chaldea, presumably for something you'll do later, right? Training people who are suitable to team up with in advance should be beneficial."

"Eh?"

Olga Marie showed a look of surprise after hearing Ian's words.

"Your idea is indeed feasible."

"Letting the Master candidates form their own teams can have some deterrent effect, and it can also save manpower."

"As expected of a Master who dares to stand up for his 'Servant'."

"Ian, I admire you!"

"Director, so you mean—"

"Do as you say."

Olga Marie was delighted to have found a suitable solution.

"Wait here for me."

"I'll draft a proposal now, and you can take a look and see if there are any problems!"

Without hesitation, Olga Marie immediately got to work.

She looked at the content on the computer and began to draft a suitable plan according to Ian's ideas.

Mashu quietly moved closer to Ian.

She asked softly:

"Senior, if I understood the plan just now correctly, it meant that the Master candidates should gather together to protect each other, right?"

"You can understand it that way too."

Ian looked at Mash.

"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

“No!” Mashu waved her hand. “I fully agree with the method you described, senior.”

"that is--"

Mashu looked troubled.

“I’m afraid that no one will be willing to do this with me when the time comes.”

"so……"

The pink-haired girl cautiously looked at the man in front of her.

"Senior, do you think I'm suitable?"

"..."

Ian smiled and reached out to stroke Mash's head.

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

"That's great, senior!"

Mashu's face lit up with joy upon receiving the promise.

She was completely unaware that she seemed to have misunderstood the concept of "gathering".

"Then I'll apply to the director later!"

"I'll move in with my senior tomorrow!"

"what?!"

164. Living with Mashu / Detective Fou! (4k)

"senior?"

Ian's reaction made Mash, who was already timid, tense up immediately.

Is it wrong to do it this way?

Looking at Mashu's expectant yet somewhat fearful eyes, Ian knew that if he rejected her on the spot, it would probably cause her a significant psychological blow.

He glanced at Olga Marie, who was still busy writing the Master-Master Mutual Protection Plan, thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"Mash, let's see if the director agrees first."

"Hey, okay."

Neither a refusal nor a promise, Mashu waited anxiously.

But Ian had a different thought in mind.

Chaldea... probably wouldn't allow men and women to live together, right?

After all, when she met Ophelia before, she had told her to be careful and not to be discovered by others.

Time slowly passed in this waiting.

Olga Marie, her eyes practically blazing with impatience, finally managed to draft a preliminary proposal.

"nailed it."

The young director stood up and handed the printed list of plans to Ian.

"Ian, can you take a look at this for me?"

obviously.

Thanks to Ian's constructive ideas, Olga Marie was relieved of two major problems (referring to the shortage of investigators and the contradiction of needing to add extra staff to take care of Master candidates).

At this moment, she had an unquestionable trust in the man in front of her.

While Ian was reviewing the plan, Mash, who had been waiting for a long time, mustered up her courage and asked a question.

"Chief, I have an idea!"

After saying that, Mashu realized that her tone was impolite, so she immediately apologized.

"Sorry, I think I got a little excited."

"It's alright," Olga Marie smiled slightly.

"You've brought over someone who can solve the problem for me, that's a great achievement."

"so--"

Olga Marie gently patted Mash on the shoulder.

"Mash, what are your thoughts? Tell me."

"..."

The director's actions greatly encouraged Mash.

She glanced at Ian beside her and spoke;

"Director, I'd like to live with Senior He!"

There was a snap.

Olga Marie's notebook fell to the ground.

"Mash, what do you want to do?"

"say it again?"

"me……"

Startled by this reaction, Mashu stammered for a while before managing to squeeze out her second sentence.

"I want to live with my senior!"

"..."

This time I didn't mishear.

Olga Marie bent down, picked up her notebook, and her expression became somewhat indescribable.

"Mash, are you serious?"

Mashu nodded.

"I was serious."

"..."

Olga Marie forced an awkward smile.

"Um, Mashu, wait a moment, I need to talk to Ian for a bit."

After saying this, the young director pulled Ian aside to the side of the office.

She spoke with a hint of reproach:

"Ian, what did you do to Mash?"
