I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

"No, so the director is dead? But she's clearly alive, isn't she? Is she dead or alive? And why does the 'Savior' know the director?"

"We met in the future, right? The 'Savior' mentioned last time that he came to our world in 2026, while the Director's plan to save the world started in 2017."

"That doesn't make sense either. The director is dead, so is she really dead or not?"

While the people of Orario were discussing whether the Director was dead or not, the Director himself was also making sarcastic remarks.

"What are you laughing at? You were the one who was shouting, weren't you? What do you mean I died a terrible death! I'm alive and well, okay!"

Oh right, you're still alive and well.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded, expressing her understanding of Director Mary's confidence.

"Don't think that just because you agree, I'll let you off the hook!"

"Although you did save me just now, if you hadn't suddenly yelled like that, I wouldn't have fallen because I was distracted. Given time, I could easily take care of those skeleton soldiers!"

"Yes, yes, you're right, Director."

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not refute, but simply nodded repeatedly.

That's it! The director at the beginning is like this: on the surface, she puts on airs, acts superior, and even scolds people. She seems like a temperamental and even unreasonable noble lady, but in reality, she is a very responsible, self-demanding, and anxious young woman in the mainland.

However, who could have imagined that this proud and arrogant young lady would experience such a cruel tragedy?

Mary frowned as she watched Fujimaru Ritsuka nod with a grin.

"Why are you nodding like that? And what do you mean by that? Why are you calling me Director? I don't remember anyone like you at Chaldea. Which family's magician are you?"

Chaldea is a large organization that collaborates with many magician families. The 48 Masters in the Chaldea Project come from various families or wild magicians in the magic world. Among them are members of magician families who wanted to join Chaldea but were not selected.

Although she didn't know what had happened here or why she was there, Olga Marie thought that Fujimaru Ritsuka must be a magician who wanted to join Chaldea, which was why she called her director to get close to her.

When questioned, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer immediately. Instead, she listened intently to the approaching footsteps around her and only spoke when the footsteps were very close.

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, just an ordinary Master."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the red-haired girl who had just arrived at the scene made a questioning sound.

"Ugh?"

Volume 1: 109. Ritsuka, go and change your fate.

"You're also called Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

"That's right, my name is also Fujimaru Ritsuka."

The red-haired girl was quite surprised to discover that someone had the same name as her, and that the person was male.

Having never experienced anything magical before, and only recently come into contact with the magic world, Fujimaru Ritsuka, the only one among the 48 Masters who comes from an ordinary person in an ordinary world, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"What a coincidence!"

Compared to the girl's surprise, Fujimaru Ritsuka, being a man, was much more natural, looking at the girl with delight.

The young version of Fujimaru Ritsuka, also known as Gudako, is the infamous "Chaotic Evil"!

Compared to Fujimaru Ritsuka's delight, the director's expression was different. Although she also thought it was a coincidence that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Gudako shared the same name, now was not the time to focus on such a coincidence. As the director of Chaldea, she had more important things to do.

"Mashu, what exactly is going on?"

"This is Singularity F, Fuyuki City in 2004."

The pink-haired girl answered earnestly.

As for me...

"A Sub-Servant, right? Of course I know. What I want to ask is why it took so long to succeed?"

Upon encountering someone familiar, who turned out to be his subordinate, the director naturally became assertive, and Mashu, who was being questioned, lowered her head and began to explain.

Fujimaru Ritsuka watched the conversation between the director and Mashu and couldn't help but strike up a conversation with Gudako beside her.

"Does the director seem very fierce?"

"Um...yes, a little."

Gudazi answered very quietly, afraid that the director would hear him.

But what you fear most is what happens most often; the director in front suddenly turned his head to look at Gudazi.

"I can hear you!"

"what!"

Gudazi immediately stood up straight.

The experience of being slapped by the director and kicked out of the meeting room for dozing off had left a deep scar on her.

"Honestly, why did it have to be you, this half-baked guy, who became the Master?"

"Huh? Me?"

Gudazi pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered.

"If it's not you, then it should be him? I'd rather he were the Master; at least he's performed better than you."

The director looked helpless and turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"By the way, you're a Master too, where's your Servant?"

Gudako looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"You're a Master too?"

"That's right, I'm a Master too."

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her left hand, and the Command Seals on the back of her hand, identical to those on Gudako's, were clearly visible.

"well!?"

The girl was even more surprised. Not only did the other person have the same name as her, but they were also the same Master, and even the Command Seals on their bodies and the backs of their hands looked exactly the same.

This is no ordinary coincidence. Apart from the difference in gender, it's practically another version of myself.

To his surprise, a call came from Gudazi's bracelet. Upon opening the bracelet, a projection of an orange-haired man in a white lab coat appeared on the screen.

"We've finally made contact."

"Hey, can you hear me?"

The treacherous warriors from Chaldea began exchanging information.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood on the outer perimeter, looking at one or two familiar people, and couldn't help but smile again.

"Ritsuka, you seem very happy."

Astrea walked up to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Is it obvious?

"Yes, it's very obvious."

Astrea nodded affirmatively.

"Ever since you saw that director, you've been so excited you haven't said a single word to me."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was taken aback for a moment, then immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Astrea, I was indeed a little too excited."

"It's okay. If it were me, I would probably be so happy to see an old friend I haven't seen in a long time that I would ignore everything else, just like I was back in the clan."

Astrea was overjoyed when the souls of the first generation of her clan members were resurrected.

"Asteria, you are so considerate! You truly are my beloved wife!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Astrea a thumbs-up.

"Don't say strange things!"

Astrea quickly nudged Fujimaru Ritsuka with her elbow, her face slightly flushed.

It's one thing to say this in my room, but do you know how many people are watching us right now?!

"Sorry sorry."

Fujimaru Ritsuka pretended to be in pain from the elbow, rubbing her lower back while apologizing.

Astrea rolled her eyes at Fujimaru Ritsuka, then looked at the bloody scene at Chaldea with her.

"That girl, she must be humanity's last Master."

"Yes, she is humanity's last hope."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

"Her name is also Fujimaru Ritsuka, what a coincidence."

"Yes, it's really a coincidence."

"Then..."

Astrea smiled and then looked at the others around Gudako.

"Did those people around her sacrifice themselves for the future of humanity?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Astrea in surprise.

Why do you think that?

"Don't underestimate the goddess, I can still see through this."

"The look in your eyes when you see them is not just the joy of meeting acquaintances, but also nostalgia, a nostalgia tinged with sadness."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Astrea a thumbs-up again.

"Asteria, you're really amazing, no wonder you're my most... beloved..."

Astrea withdrew her elbow and rolled her eyes, looking at the Chaldean monster with admiration.

"They sacrificed themselves for humanity; they are heroes."

Heroes... one chose to sacrifice himself for the future of humanity, while the other, after experiencing an incredibly cruel tragedy, also chose to sacrifice himself. They are indeed heroes.

Although they were all heroes, they were also all tragedies.

"Actually, I'd rather they didn't become heroes, but unfortunately, Mushroom Old Master tricked us into paying taxes!"

"Mushroom Old Man Jun"

Astrea looked puzzled upon hearing her new name.

"It's alright, you don't need to worry about the name, it's not anything important anyway."

That should be a person, right? Did you just turn it into something in your mouth?

Although puzzled, Astrea obediently did not press the matter.

"So, Ritsuka, you want to change their fate?"

Her gaze fell on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Last time, you changed the fate of those participants in the Holy Grail War; this time, you will change their fate too!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I will change their fate. It's this kind of malicious tragedy that's so cruel."

What's the point of this world if you don't change your fate? Especially since Fujimaru Ritsuka happens to have the power to change her fate.

The doctor's sacrifice is still far off, but the director's tragedy can be prevented at this anomaly!

Astrea was very satisfied with Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer.

"In that case, let's do our best! I'll be there to witness in the name of the goddess!"

During the conversation, the Chaldeans, with their clamor and a sense of unease, immediately decided to evacuate quickly.

Before leaving, the director addressed Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Hey, Fujimaru Ritsuka over there, we're leaving. What are you going to do?"

"Of course I'll be with you guys!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved the lamppost in her hand.
