A hint of surprise at the reunion also appeared in those beautiful orange eyes.

"It's you—!"

"It's Gareth from the Singularity era!"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the singularity, Gareth immediately looked at his Master.

She squinted slightly, and then recognized Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Oooo!"

"It's you, Ritsuka who was with Mo back then!"

“That’s right~” Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, “It’s me~”

"Gareth...you still recognize me?"

“Of course I recognize you.” Gareth rubbed his nose. “Back then… Mo mentioned you several times!”

"How could I, her older sister, possibly forget you!"

"Wait a minute..." Gareth seemed to remember something, "Since you're here, does that mean my..."

Gareth remembered that his father was quite familiar with this girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka during the last singularity of the Hundred Years' War between England and France.

Since she's here, does that mean he also...?

The girl's premonition soon became a reality.

At this moment, Ian spoke up: "Gareth, it's been a long time."

"Huh?!" Upon hearing the familiar and unforgettable voice, Gareth looked incredulously to the other side, his green eyes filled with surprise.

"You were here after all!"

In front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Gareth lunged forward and hugged his father, Ian.

Although the latter felt that this behavior was slightly inappropriate, he still reached out and gently stroked her head.

Yes, I am here.

"Hmm...you're here!" Gareth gripped Ian's clothes tightly, not wanting to let go.

After lingering in this tender moment for a while, the British knight suddenly remembered her sister Mordred's instructions from the singularity.

"We absolutely cannot reveal Father's identity!"

She shuddered as if she had been electrocuted, and then turned around awkwardly.

"Master, um..."

Just when Gareth thought he wouldn't be able to explain himself, he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

"It's fine."

“I can understand… After all, we were forced to separate at that time, so it’s normal to be a little emotional.”

"You don't need to explain that to me."

"Eh……"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was so understanding, Gareth gradually felt relieved.

"Really...that's wonderful."

"I thought you would be very unhappy, Master."

"How could that be? I saw..."

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could finish speaking, she clutched her head, looking like she was in great pain.

Realizing something was wrong, Ian immediately rushed to her side.

"Ritsuka, what's wrong?"

"Yes, I feel a little dizzy." Fujimaru Ritsuka rubbed her forehead. "Let me rest for a bit..."

Before the girl could finish speaking, she collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Ian acted quickly enough to prevent her from lying on the ground.

"What's going on?" Gareth didn't know why this was happening, but she instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"I am not sure as well."

Anxious, Ian took out his phone and shouted into it.

"BB, are you there?!"

“Yes—!” bb responded instantly.

"You pig, what's wrong?!"

"BB, do you know how to use Chaldea's diagnostic equipment?"

"Probably—after all, it's essentially just a code tool. With a little analysis, BB should be able to understand it."

"Are you free to come help me now?"

"It should work—the girl you brought here just fainted from excitement again."

"Okay, thank you for your help, bb."

After receiving permission from BB, Ian began to direct his daughter.

"Gareth, help me move Ritsuka to the medical room."

"Tilted?"

Although he still didn't know what had happened, Gareth knew that following his father's orders was definitely the right thing to do.

"I see."

Ten minutes later.

The two people brought Fujimaru Ritsuka to the medical room in Chaldea and then placed her on the machine.

A green light swept across, and BB completed the analysis.

To her, as a super AI, the normal instruments in Chaldea are nothing more than toys that operate according to a program.

Essentially, it's no different from controlling a vibrating rod.

"Hey!" BB on the screen couldn't help but complain as he looked at the analysis results.

"You pig—you're doing something outrageous again, aren't you!"

"Shh." Ian gestured for silence to the girl on the screen.

"BB, tell me first, Ritsuka... what's going on?"

"..."

Realizing that reporting on Fujimaru Ritsuka's situation was indeed important, BB didn't say much about Ian's cat-keeping behavior.

She reported the information she had read.

"Upon testing, it was found that the quality and quantity of Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic circuits were relatively average, only slightly better than those of an ordinary person, making her barely qualified to be called a 'magician'."

"The excessive outflow of magic caused its 'source' to generate a large load, eventually leading to the overload of the magic circuit, exceeding the predetermined limit."

"The preliminary assessment indicates that the difference is more than two levels."

"Wait a moment!"

Ian stopped talking, his report sounding like an official document.

"Your explanation is too complicated—is there a simpler summary that can make the situation clear in a short time?"

"A simplified version, right?" The user on the screen put their hands on their hips. "Of course there is."

"You pig—if you don't understand what BB just said, just understand it simply as Fujimaru Ritsuka's magical power is not enough to support her being the Master of two Servants at the same time."

"Ah, this..."

To be honest, Ian had never considered this situation.

after all--

For someone who has mastered so much power, supplying magic to several Servants at the same time is not too difficult.

For example, now.

The man alone has to bear the burden of Mordred, Tamamo-no-Mae, and BB's magic consumption.

However, he did not feel any burden.

This may be the source of the problem at this moment—Fujimaru Ritsuka's current abilities are not sufficient to support her in doing such a thing.

Miscalculated.

Ian felt a pang of regret.

How could they not have thought of the burden that magic consumption would place on their bodies?!

Gareth saw his father's conflicted expression clearly.

She quickly moved closer and asked the girl on the phone screen.

"So what should we do now?"

"Please tell me... how can I save my Master!"

"..."

Although BB is sharp-tongued, she is actually very kind, having been born because of Sakura Tohsaka's wish.

She nodded in response to Gareth's plea.

"Of course BB will save her—otherwise, wouldn't a super AI be completely useless?"

"Thank you so much!" Gareth said repeatedly.

"Don't thank BB yet," the girl on the screen stopped the British knight from saying thank you.

"BB can only provide methods, but the final result is up to you."

"Look at ourselves?" Ian asked, puzzled. "BB, what do you mean by that?"
