"Eh?"

Tamamo-no-Mae was already somewhat puzzled, and after Olga Marie emphasized it several times, she became even more confused.

"Accident?"

Why is it called an accident?

"May I know the reason?"

It wasn't something that couldn't be brought up, Ian said, taking Tamamo-no-Mae's hand and explaining to her as she looked on in confusion.

"Put it simply."

"The director and I... had to do this for certain reasons."

"this?"

Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Ian and blinked her beautiful golden eyes.

"Master... what do you mean by this?"

"Shouldn't being by each other's side like this be something we both want to do?"

How did it become a situation that had to be avoided?

“Hmm.” Ian glanced at Olga Marie, who was already incredibly embarrassed, “Generally speaking, that’s true.”

"but--"

"Something's not right this time."

"Something's not right?" Tamamo-no-Mae's two fox ears twitched slightly, making her look quite adorable.

"Could it be... that something terrible has happened again?"

"more or less"

Ian pointed to the computer not far away and continued to explain the situation to Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Just now--"

"There was a notification that looked like a prank."

"A prank-like hint?"

Tamamo-no-Mae took Ian's hand and led him to the computer.

"But right now we have nothing, don't we?"

“Yes.” Ian nodded. “So it only applies to just now.”

“A voice claiming to be BB told me and the director that if we didn’t do something here, we would never be able to get out.”

"In fact... that is indeed the case."

"Eh--!"

Tamamo-no-Mae's face flushed slightly.

She realized how awkward this situation was.

"So, that's why Master has to stay here with Mary at the same time?"

The fox demon had just finished speaking when she realized something.

"Wait a minute, if it were just that simple... it wouldn't have led to the scene we just witnessed, would it?!"

"..."

Sometimes, Ian felt that Tamamo-no-Mae was too meticulous, which made many things difficult to handle.

But to save Olga Marie's face, the man decided to take the blame a little.

"It was my request."

"After all... I had never tried interacting with the director like this before—the result is not bad now."

"..."

Olga Marie paused for a moment.

She wasn't surprised that Ian said such a thing, but rather that he had reversed the "active and passive" relationship for her.

I was the one who made the request... but now he's acting like a scoundrel, touching me inappropriately.

Won't Tamamo-no-Mae misunderstand him?

Olga Marie felt a little nervous.

After all, if that were the case, she would truly become a burden to him.

However, things were not as bad as Olga Marie had imagined.

After hearing Ian finish explaining his reasons, Tamamo-no-Mae was not surprised at all; instead, she obediently accepted his bizarre statement.

Moreover, the focus of her conversation quickly shifted from "why Ogarmali acted like that" to "what's wrong with the computer?"

"That--"

"Master, have you figured out what this being called BB is all about?"

“No.” Ian shook his head.

"We just got rid of this restriction—and then we met you, Xiaoyu."

"anyway."

The man's gaze fell on Tamamo-no-Mae.

She remained as charming as ever, her every word and action exuding irresistible allure.

"Xiaoyu."

"And how did you get here—didn't I lose contact with you?"

“No.” Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head.

"I just heard Master calling me, and it was a very urgent call."

That's why we rushed over.

"..."

The fox demon's words made Ian fall into thought.

He realized that BB had not severed his connection with Tamamo-no-Mae, but rather significantly slowed down the speed at which that connection was established.

So, immediately after her relationship with Olga Marie ended, Tamamo-no-Mae felt this call.

In that case—

Ian took out his phone.

Sure enough, there were several missed calls.

They all originated from Mash, the person Ian had just sought help from—the best person Ian could think of in his desperation, someone who could find Da Vinci and his group immediately.

"It's alright, don't worry."

"Mash, remember to wake Ritsuka up."

Ian typed a few lines on his phone and sent them, then fell into thought again.

There was absolutely no BB in Chaldea before.

This situation only occurred after I acquired that memory.

So... could it be that there's something wrong with that memory?

Or perhaps... it contains the possibility of a baby being born?

Seeing that Ian was deep in thought, Tamamo-no-Mae temporarily released his hand and then quietly walked to Olgazuka Mary's side.

"Little Mary".

"I have something to ask you."

"Eh?"

Although Olga Marie felt a little strange about being called "Little Marie" by Tamamo-no-Mae, she knew now was not the time to dwell on such things.

"What, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, you don't need to be nervous," Tamamo-no-Mae gently reassured Olga Marie.

"I just want to know... whether it was you who took the initiative to make this request, or Master?"

"..."

Olga Marie then realized that Tamamo-no-Mae hadn't really accepted Ian's answer; she just didn't want to put him in a difficult position.

Even knowing that the fox spirit meant well, the girl found it difficult to respond.

"This one……"

Seeing Olga Marie's hesitant manner, Tamamo-no-Mae continued;

"it does not matter."

“Little Mary, please speak freely… whatever the actual situation may be, I will absolutely not have any complaints.”

"..."

Although Tamamo-no-Mae's tone was full of flirtatiousness, it sounded quite sincere to Olga Marie at this moment.

More importantly, the girl really didn't want Ian to take the blame for her.

after all--

It was after she saw the mysterious message from BB on the screen that she decided to take the initiative to ask Ian to take action.

"Ok."

Olga Marie's voice softened.

"I admit it."

“I asked Ian to do this with me…and I really enjoy it.”
