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

“However…” Mash held up one finger.

"May I ask you a question, senior?"

"of course."

"That--"

Mashu looked around to make sure no one was watching her, then leaned close to Ian and whispered in his ear.

"I want to ask."

"Have my lips... ever made you feel good, senior?"

After saying this, Mashu lowered her head.

Obviously.

This behavior was quite shameful for her.

But she also hoped to gain some affirmation from the other party through this method.

"..."

Ian knew the simplest way to handle this kind of thing.

He took Mash's hand and pressed it between his legs.

"Is there even a need to ask this?"

"Did I ejaculate properly inside Mashu's mouth every time?"

"It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future."

"When I return this time—please continue to serve me."

"……Um."

"You don't need to come back, you can come now."

Although it was a very shameful act, Mashu was happier than ever.

She pretended to be asleep, but actually buried her head between the man's legs and then used her throat to perfectly conceal the enormous object.

There are those like Mashu who don't want to go but have to, and naturally there are those who want to go but can't.

That was Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Why can't I go?!"

The red-haired girl in room 49 looked utterly devastated.

"I'm clearly a Master candidate too, aren't I?!"

"Singularities and stuff like that, they sound like places I have to visit!"

"..."

With just that one sentence, Ian could understand why Fujimaru Ritsuka was rejected by Olga Marie.

This demonstrates a lack of attention to the difficulty of the task.

If something unexpected really happens, such carefree girls are often in very dangerous situations.

However, Ian certainly couldn't just say it outright—that would be too hurtful.

"We probably have enough manpower."

"It's also possible that the director has other plans."

"Even if you say that, it's still hard to accept," Fujimaru Ritsuka pouted.

"There's always this feeling of being excluded, like 'There's only one person missing, guess who it is!'"

"It's not just you who can't go, is it?"

Ian looked at Mordred, who was still fiddling with something in a corner of the room.

And Mashu shouting "Go for it!" with a ">-<" expression.

"Mordred can't come with me this time either."

It seems that due to the unconventional summoning, the current spirit transfer system is unable to recognize Mordred.

Therefore, she was unable to join this expedition to explore the singularity.

"Of course I know."

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood with her hands behind her back, her toes circling the ground.

"I just wanted to spend more time with you... I find it very interesting to be around you."

"..."

Ian smiled.

"It's okay, we'll definitely have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

"really?"

"Really, I promise you."

As soon as Ian finished speaking, Mordred on the other side shouted excitedly.

"Finally done!"

Ian and Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were simultaneously drawn to it.

Mordred ran up to the man with a small bottle in her hand.

"Master, this is for you!"

"Ok?"

Ian took the bottle and saw that it was filled with powder.

"Xiao Mo, what is this?"

"Hehe~" Mordred grinned, "It's apple core powder!"

"Powdered apple cores?"

“Yes, yes.” Mordred nodded. “This is my foster mother…”

The brat stopped halfway through his sentence.

She realized that this was something she couldn't just say casually.

However, Ian had already fully understood what she meant.

This is something she subconsciously learned while she was with Artoria.

"So what are its effects?" Ian asked with interest.

"It can bring you incredible good luck!"

Mordred rubbed his nose.

"Since I can't go to that place called 'Singularity' with my Master this time... I can only offer my help in this way."

"Hopefully...it will work!"

"..."

Ian hugged Mordred and gently kissed her forehead.

"Yes, it will definitely happen."

Mordred was overjoyed by the contact from her father.

Mashu immediately became anxious.

"Senior! I also have something to give you!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was slow to realize what was happening, but she did eventually understand.

"Huh?! I want to deliver one too!"

Time flew by, and soon the day of departure chosen by Olga Marie arrived.

Following the instructions broadcast, Ian arrived at the central control room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Hinako Akuta.

The two exchanged a glance but didn't say anything more.

Or rather—there's simply no way to talk about anything.

After that failed summons, he never contacted her again.

This is not surprising.

After all, Ophelia had made a promise first and was also in charge of the summoning.

No matter how many times Hinako Akuta tries to contact him, she will eventually end up contacting Ophelia instead—it would be better to contact her from the beginning.

However, their relationship did not remain unchanged.

Before entering the spirit particle transfer device, Hinako Akuta glanced at Ian and smiled slightly:

May we both have a safe journey.

"Let's have a cup of tea together next time we have the chance."

"it is good."

As Ian watched Hinako Akuta enter the device, he began to notice Mash's figure.

She came out of her room earlier than me, so why isn't she here yet?

Ian glanced at the time and realized there was still a short time before the teleportation would begin.

"Could it be that they've given up at the last minute?"

The more I think about it, the worse it feels.

Ian came straight out of the central control room and went outside to look for Mash.

Fortunately, Mashu did not choose to give up as the man had expected.
