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

"Then you don't need to worry anymore, right?"

"I...I'm back safe and sound."

"Ok!"

Mordred lowered her head and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have found an answer to the question she had just asked.

After a long while, Mordred finally calmed down.

She looked up at Ian, her eyes filled with endless questions.

"Why did such a serious explosion happen?"

"Is there a problem with that thing called 'spiritual particle transfer'?"

“No, that’s not it.” Ian shook his head.

"It's a bit long to explain."

"To put it simply, there is a traitor among us."

"Mordred, where are the others? I want to see them."

"In the lobby!"

“Master!” Mordred grasped Ian’s hand. “I will lead the way!”

With Mordred's help, Ian and Fujimaru Ritsuka bypassed the ruins of Chaldea after the explosion and arrived at the other side.

A man with orange hair and green eyes, dressed in a white coat, was giving instructions.

Beside him stood a mature, black-haired woman in a red, blue, and white dress. She was scrutinizing everything with her azure eyes, occasionally exchanging a few words with the man.

Mash, who had already become a Servant, gripped her shield and stayed close to them.

“Mashu,” Ian called softly.

Hearing the familiar voice, Mashu turned around.

"Eh?!"

"Senior, you're awake!"

Saying this, the pink-haired girl jogged up to him.

Ian naturally understood Mashu's feelings, and he reached out and gently patted her head.

"I'm sorry it took you so long to wake up, I made you worry."

"Speaking of which-"

Ian looked at the man and woman not far away.

"they are……"

"Oh! You haven't met them before, have you?"

Mash took the initiative to introduce the two people that Ian didn't know.

"This is Dr. Romani Archman, the one who teleported us back from Singularity F!"

"Just call me Roman," the man said with a gentle smile.

"If the name is too long, it will be easily forgotten."

"This is Leonardo da Vinci, um... like Mordred, she is a Servant!"

"Hello~"

Leonardo da Vinci smiled and waved.

"Like Dr. Roman, you can simply call me Leonardo da Vinci."

"or--"

"You can call him Da Vinci, that's fine too~ I don't mind~"

Fortunately.

Neither Roman nor Leonardo da Vinci seemed to be difficult people to get along with.

This put Ian at ease a little.

However, he was not happy about it.

Because everything he saw along the way silently told the man the same thing: the current situation was not optimistic.

But avoidance is not an option; facing it head-on is the right way.

"So--"

"Dr. Roman, Leonardo da Vinci, how is Chaldea doing now?"

"..."

"..."

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

After a long silence, Dr. Roman finally broke it.

"It's a bad situation."

"The explosion caused by Leif killed more than 70% of the Chaldea staff, and now there are fewer than 20 people left."

"Although emergency repairs have been carried out on areas such as the central control room, the number of personnel available is simply too small, so the results are not ideal, and it is currently only barely usable."

"Chaldea is probably in a state of semi-abandonment."

"..."

Although Ian knew the situation must be terrible, he still couldn't help but gasp when he heard the actual facts.

Although Rafe never actually completed any of the missions, these "half-finished products" were already quite destructive.

"That--"

Ian is likely to have calmed down.

"What happened to the group of people originally planned to be sent to Singularity F?"

Ian certainly doesn't care about everyone.

He wasn't that compassionate.

What he cared about were Ophelia, with whom he had been intimate many times, and Hinako Akuta, whose true identity was unknown.

Faced with this question, Dr. Roman sighed.

"Alas, we have already protected them from their slumber."

"but--"

"Given Chaldea's current situation, there's no way to awaken them yet, so we can only maintain this state for now."

At this point, Dr. Roman seemed somewhat guilty.

"If it were the director... he would definitely have a better solution."

"This is all I can do."

Seeing Dr. Roman's self-reproach, Ian gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself."

"No one would have thought that bastard Rafe would be a traitor. Dr. Roman, you were able to react quickly and arrange the operation, which is already very impressive."

"If it weren't for you, Mashu, Ritsuka, and I would probably have died at Singularity F long ago."

"Besides -"

Ian gave a sly smile.

"The director hasn't left us."

"Eh?!"

Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman looked puzzled.

"what do you mean?"

"If she hadn't left us... then where is she now?"

"At this."

Ian pointed to his head.

"She is in my mind right now."

"what?!"

This explosive news surprised everyone present.

Ian took this opportunity to tell everyone the general outline of what had happened.

of course.

To save Olga Marie's face, he selectively omitted anything too embarrassing, such as crying.

He didn't mention a word about the source of his abilities.

"So, do you have a way to create a body for the director?"

Ian looked at everyone present and asked this question.

To be honest, he wasn't very confident.

after all--

This is for creating bodies.

However, the result was completely unexpected by Ian.
