"you……"

"What!" Cú Chulainn interrupted Ian.

"Are you impotent?"

"of course not!"

"Then take responsibility for it!"

"I don't want the opponent I finally found to be an incompetent and unfaithful man."

"Otherwise, I'll just find you disgusting next time we meet."

"next time?"

Ian muttered the word and suddenly smiled.

"That's right... there will be a next time."

“Cú Chulainn, I understand.”

"I... will do as you say."

"That's more like it!" Cú Chulainn gave the approving smile he had when he first tied with Ian.

"gone."

Like parting with a friend, Cú Chulainn turned around, waved, and disappeared from Ian's sight.

Mashu successfully retrieved the Holy Grail.

"Senior~ I've got it done!"

“Mm.” Ian nodded. “Thank you for your hard work, Mash.”

"No, that's not true, I..."

Mashu was about to say something when she felt a warm sensation on her lips.

It took her a while to realize that it was Ian who had kissed her.

The lips parted.

"Senior, what are you..."

Mashu covered her mouth, her face flushed with embarrassment.

“It’s nothing.” Ian smiled slightly. “I just wanted to say that you don’t need to be my ‘tool’ anymore.”

"Eh?!"

Mashu immediately became excited.

"Senior, don't you want me anymore?!"

"Is it because my contract with Ritsuka upset you?! I... I'll find a way to break it!"

“That’s not true.” Ian shook his head.

"I just want to give you a different identity."

"Change your identity?"

"Ah."

Ian leaned close to Mash's ear and spoke gently.

How's your girlfriend?

"Eh--?!"

Mashu couldn't believe her words at all.

"Can I...be my senior's girlfriend?"

"Mmm." Ian patted Mash's head.

"but--"

"I might not have only one girlfriend, Mashu, can you accept that?"

"..."

Mashu remained silent for a moment, then nodded, her face flushed.

"Hmm...that's fine."

"Being able to be with my seniors is enough."

"That--"

Ian looked at the Holy Grail, his eyes filled with determination.

"Let's go back and find the director."

"Then... let's leave Singularity F together!"

184. My Director Said She Didn't Want to Die / The Mastermind / The Truth Behind the Explosion (4k)

On the ruins of Fuyuki City in Singularity F.

Ian and his group gathered on a collapsed stone slab.

"Is this the Holy Grail?"

Having recovered, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the huge, glittering golden cup in front of her, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"This looks really expensive... No wonder Artoria never lets anyone else touch it!"

"...If you interpret it that way, then there might be a slight discrepancy."

Ian tactfully refuted Fujimaru Ritsuka's statement, while taking Mash's hand.

"Also, this time it was Mashu who bravely went to retrieve it."

"We should thank her."

Although she is no longer as timid as before, Mashu still feels embarrassed when faced with praise from her crush.

"Nothing."

"It was because you 'dealt' with Artoria that I had the opportunity to retrieve the Holy Grail!"

"If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be you, senior!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to suddenly remember something.

She sat down next to Ian, looked up at the man who was much taller than her, and her orange eyes showed a hint of concern.

"Speaking of which-"

"Why did you hug Artoria back then?"

Upon hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, Mash also began to take them to heart.

She already felt something was off, and now that she was being tortured, it felt even stranger.

Ian Pendragon.

It is indeed a name that is in the same vein as Artoria Pendragon.

There is absolutely no problem in taking them for granted as ancestors and descendants.

but--

At that time, their hugging behavior completely lacked the appropriate boundaries that should exist in their relationship.

If I had to describe it, it's more like a couple who haven't seen each other in a long time!

And it seems they even kissed at the end, right?!

That's...strange!

"Uh, this..."

Ian didn't really know how to answer that question right away.

He couldn't very well explain to the two people in front of him that "that was my lover from long ago in Britain," could he?

The consequences of saying that are terrifying to even a child's eye.

Ian's stammering manner made Fujimaru Ritsuka increasingly suspicious, and Mash followed suit, pressing him closer and closer.

The newly formed Master-Servant duo grew closer and closer, practically pinning the man to the ground for "torture."

And then, something Ian never expected happened.

"Enough, you two!"

Olga Marie placed her hands on her hips, striking a majestic pose.

"Honestly, why do you care what method Ian uses?"

"In that situation, as long as he can get rid of Artoria, that's enough, isn't it?"

"..."

"..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged glances, neither of them having any reason to refute the statement.

after all--

If Ian hadn't "dealt with" Artoria, Singularity F would still be a dead end for humanity at this point.

After thanking Olga Marie with his eyes, Ian quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which... Mashu, how did you end up like this?"

"What exactly is the contract you signed with Ritsuka?"

"This one……"

Mash hugged her shield, looking somewhat embarrassed.
