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

"Director, what my father refers to is..."

“Marisbury Animusfia,” Olga Marie answered Ian’s question, “the previous director of Chaldea, and also my father.”

“He committed suicide three years ago in this chair I was sitting in.”

“After that… I inherited Chaldea.”

Although Olga Marie spoke calmly, Ian knew this was not something he should bring up.

He let go of her hand.

"I'm sorry, Director."

"I shouldn't have asked that kind of question."

“It’s nothing.” Olga Marie forced a bitter smile. “My father has been gone for so long, I don’t feel any pain when I think about him now.”

"..."

With this connection, Ian could understand Olga Marie's decision.

Because Chaldea was inherited from their father.

Therefore, she didn't want to be looked down upon by anyone.

Even if it's something you have no clue how to solve, you still have to handle it neatly and efficiently on the surface.

but--

Ian looked at Olga Marie in front of him.

"Director."

"I can understand your difficulties."

"But if we just deal with it like this, the seeds of trouble will still remain buried inside Chaldea, won't they?"

"What if something else goes wrong later?"

Ian's words make sense.

Olga Marie sighed.

At this moment, she had completely lost her usual sharpness and irritability.

"Of course I know."

"I care about Chaldea more than anyone else... and I don't want anyone who comes to Chaldea to be harmed."

"But--"

"If Chaldea continues to stagnate like this, it will be suspected of using research as a pretext to recruit other entities."

“Once we lose external trust, we won’t be able to continue operating in the current model.”

"Chaldea will disintegrate and then be destroyed—I don't want to see that happen."

"For this, I have to make some concessions."

"..."

Seeing that Ian did not respond, Olga Marie continued.

“I know what you’re worried about—what if something else happens later?”

"Therefore, I have already urgently recruited security personnel. I will definitely gather enough strength to protect the entire Chaldea in a short period of time."

"Besides -"

"There haven't been any accidents for a whole month now. Although this may be largely related to your 'Master Watch Plan,' in a sense, it's also proof that Chaldea is currently safe enough."

"Professor Rafe, he also thinks..."

Olga Marie fell silent halfway through her sentence.

This reason was incredibly difficult even for her to convince herself, let alone for the man in front of her.

"Ian, I really am useless, aren't I..."

"..."

Silence is more like the standard answer than a response.

Olga Marie closed her eyes.

She didn't know what to do anymore.

But at this moment——

A hand rested on her head.

"No, you are very useful."

"And this is truly the only option left—you don't need to blame yourself for it."

"Eh?"

Olga Marie looked up and saw the man staring directly at her.

"what do you mean……"

Ian smiled.

"Director, I agree with your choice."

"If continuing like this will cause the entire Chaldea to disintegrate, then changes should indeed be made."

"Besides—I genuinely think you're amazing. To be able to carry Chaldea forward for three years at your age is already far beyond what most people can achieve."

"..."

Olga Marie blushed.

"Ian, are you acknowledging that I am an excellent director?"

“Hmm.” Ian nodded with a smile.

"I admit."

Upon hearing this, Olga Marie immediately perked up.

Ignoring the mess on her body, she stood up abruptly.

"Say it again, okay?"

“I acknowledge that you are an excellent director,” Ian replied without hesitation.

"Say it again!"

"I acknowledge that you are an excellent director."

"Again!"

"..."

Olga Marie was finally satisfied after Ian had said the same compliments countless times.

Once she was back to her usual self, she dressed contentedly and then began cleaning up the marks.

While cleaning, she also "threatened" Ian.

"Ian, don't you dare tell anyone about what happened today!"

"Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Ian gave an awkward laugh: "Teaching the warden to use 'jumping ○' or something, nobody would believe me if I told them, right?"

"hope so."

After Olga Marie finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something.

"correct."

"Since you're here... I'll tell you something while I'm at it."

"What is it?" Ian asked.

"This is the mission we're talking about."

Olga Marie looked at the man who had just helped her resolve her inner conflict.

"Ian."

"I hope you can travel to Singularity F via the Spirit Particle Transfer System!"

179. Farewell / A Rendezvous with Ophelia / Mashu's Problem / Explosion (4k)

"Singularity?"

Ian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled by the name he had never heard of before.

"Chief, what... what is this?"

"Oh, you haven't heard of it yet."

Olga Marie, back to work, became serious again.

"Hmm...it's a bit complicated to explain, and not easy to understand either."

“Ian, just think of it as Chaldea observing a very special point and urgently needing to teleport you there to explore it.”

"This was something that should have been done a month ago, but it was postponed until now due to many unexpected events."

Actually, it's mainly about the Master Watch Project.

During this period, Olga Marie did almost no large-scale operations.

“I see.” Ian nodded. “I will accept the arrangements.”

"..."

Olga Marie paused for a moment, then spoke again.

"Ian, you've agreed to it just like that?"

Aren't you going to ask me what you want to know?
