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

"That's not what I meant!"

"Then what do you mean?!" Mordred was very agitated.

"..."

After a long silence, Olga Marie spoke up once again.

"Mordred."

“I think… what Mash meant was that if we had trusted Ian from the beginning, we wouldn’t have needed to spend all this time searching for him.”

"Is that so?" Olga Marie looked at the pink-haired girl.

“Yes, yes!” Mashu nodded repeatedly. “Director, you’re right!”

"This……"

Mordred, having understood Mash's true meaning, quieted down.

But after scratching her face, she continued to ask.

"But even if I didn't go to see my Master... I can't use this time to do anything else."

"..."

"..."

Mordred's words were clearly a matter of concern for everyone, and all the girls' eyes returned to Ian.

He brought up the topic, so naturally he should be the one to give an answer.

“Ian,” Olga Marie began, “isn’t it your turn to share your thoughts?”

Upon hearing this, the man smiled calmly and began to summarize.

"It seems that everyone has thought about this issue to some extent."

"Right now, there are still many anomalies that need to be repaired."

"If we continue to act in a way that distrusts each other, it could take even longer."

"Of course—I think there are no trust issues in Chaldea at this point."

"But we still need to find a way to speed things up."

Ian's gaze swept over everyone present, and he voiced his thoughts.

"For example -"

"Simultaneously repair multiple singularities."

"This...?" Olga Marie could hardly believe what she was hearing. "How are you going to repair them all at once?"

"The logic is actually very simple."

Ian looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Chaldea used the 'Spirit Particle Teleportation System' to teleport Ritsuka and me to different singularities."

"This way, repairs can be carried out simultaneously."

“No!” Olga Marie interrupted Ian.

"Wasn't it mentioned before that we would teleport separately?"

"The biggest problem with doing this is that Ritsuka might be in danger, right?"

“That was certainly the case at the beginning.”

"but--"

Ian looked at Mordred and Mash, who were standing together.

"I think it would be much safer if two Servants could accompany her to that era, right?"

"..."

Olga Marie completely understood Ian's thoughts.

He already had two Servants before and after summoning Tamamo.

If Mordred were "assigned" to Fujimaru Ritsuka, she could protect Fujimaru Ritsuka together with Mash.

And this is also feasible in terms of underlying logic.

Chaldea already has a precedent of successfully transferring two Masters and two Servants, so the situation of one Master and two Servants is obviously much simpler!

However, this might place an unimaginable burden on Ian's magical abilities.

after all--

This is a demon-summoning ritual that transcends time...

Unlike Olga Marie's concerns, Mordred was concerned about being "assigned" to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.

"Master!"

"Why do I have to follow Ritsuka? Can't Tamamo-no-Mae do it?!"

“Because I trust you.” The man looked at Mordred very seriously.

"I witnessed your strike that cleaved the iceberg of Chaldea."

"I have also witnessed your unwavering determination to attack another Joan of Arc, regardless of the consequences."

"So, Mo, I know you can definitely protect Ritsuka for me."

"As for Xiaoyu... this is a good opportunity to test her strength."

"..."

Mordred remained silent.

She knew that her father wasn't just placating her; he genuinely believed she could do it.

She didn't object anymore, which meant she tacitly accepted the arrangement.

"Alright." The man waved his hand.

"This is just a temporary idea... We still need to study it further to figure out the final plan."

"That's it for today."

"Meeting dismissed."

After saying this, Ian came to Tamamo-no-Mae's ear and whispered a few words.

then.

As the girls gradually left the meeting room, the fox spirit approached Olga Marie, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Mashu.

She left them with the same message.

"My Master—"

"I hope you can come to the director's office tonight."

263. Office party/prop competition/plans changed (4k)

at night.

The entrance to the Chaldea Director's office.

Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Olga Marie looked at each other, who had arrived at almost the same time, and were all somewhat at a loss.

"Lixiang, Director."

Mashu looked at the other two girls with a nervous expression, her brows furrowed with surprise.

"What are you all doing here?"

Mashu's reaction was the easiest to understand—the girl never expected to see them at this moment.

She had assumed that Tamamo-no-Mae's words were something Ian had reserved for her alone.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mashu in front of her with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Don't you... need to take care of Xiao Mo?"

“We were going to go at first.” Mashu rubbed her fingers together.

"But Miss Xiaoyu told me... I can rest assured that I can leave Xiao Mo in her care tonight."

"so--"

"I came here as she instructed."

"Oh, is that so..."

Listening to Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka's conversation, Olga Marie suddenly understood.

At first, she also thought that Ian had only called her.

after all--

In the morning, I was somewhat deceived by him.

But the current situation seems to be completely different.

Besides--

Olga Marie looked at the director's office in front of her and couldn't help but shudder.

This place is more than just an office.

I'm right here...

"Director!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice rang in the silver-haired girl's ears, pulling her back from that extremely shameful memory.

"Do you know what happened?!"

"Uh……"
