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

"Thank you for your hard work in protecting humanity."

Although it sounded like words of thanks, the tone of voice seemed completely flat, as if he were talking about something mundane.

However, it was precisely this flat, monotone tone that made Rafe's eyes widen in surprise.

"How could someone speak like that, with that posture,..."

The visitor was none other than the famous King Solomon, who commanded the seventy-two demon gods and was known as the King of Magic!

The excessive shock caused him to completely stop controlling the director. The director, who was in mid-air, immediately began to retreat rapidly under the guidance of Fujimaru Ritsuka's Holy Grail, and retreated all the way to the Holy Grail above Fujimaru Ritsuka's head.

"I'm sorry, Director, but to prevent any accidents, please stay in my Holy Cup for a while."

Before the director could even reply, he was stuffed into the small trophy by Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was still wondering who the newcomer was.

Immediately afterwards, Fujimaru Ritsuka released the summoning of the Lesser Holy Grail, which then disappeared from above her head.

Fujimaru Ritsuka had used this trick before in the dungeon. On the 30th floor, he collected those soul fragments in the small chalice and stored them, then summoned them later to safely preserve the souls.

If the director had a physical body, Fujimaru Ritsuka wouldn't be able to do it, but since the director is currently in a soul state, it's the perfect place to store and protect him!

Having completed all of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally looked up at Rafe.

At that moment, Rafe glared angrily at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"How dare you fool me! And by using the image of a king to fool me! Fujimaru Ritsuka, you deserve to die!!"

Despite Rafe's rage, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not afraid; on the contrary, she felt relaxed.

He raised his hand and waved to King Solomon, who was not far away. King Solomon reached up and took off his head, revealing a black helmet in his hand. He then tossed the helmet to Fujimaru Ritsuka, and King Solomon transformed into Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance.

Not for personal glory

Lancelot's helmet can conceal his own attributes, and with enough magic power, he can transform into other people and even use their abilities in battle. However, due to his berserk state, he can only use it for disguise.

Using this Noble Phantasm, Fujimaru Ritsuka's clone transformed into the likeness of Solomon.

Although he didn't have Solomon's strength, his appearance alone was enough to briefly shock Rafe.

This brief shock was enough for Fujimaru Ritsuka to regain control of the department!

Fujimaru Ritsuka casually put away her helmet and looked up at Rafe again.

"You saw through it so easily? As expected of you, the sixty-fourth demon god in charge of information, 'Florus'!"

Leif Lenore Floros, on the surface, is the prodigy heir of a prestigious magic family. He even joined Chaldea to develop a telescope for observing the near-future observation lens, Sheba, which is used to observe the simulated Earth model "Chaldea".

But his true identity is Flauros, one of the seventy-two demons commanded by King Solomon.

His true purpose in infiltrating Chaldea was to scatter the Holy Grail throughout different eras, create singularities, and pull the final trigger on the plan to burn humanity.

At the same time, he is also a Grand Bomber. One bomb destroyed Chaldea's original plan and created the possibility for Gudako to save the world. At the same time, it was also this bomb that caused Director Olga Marie to experience an extremely painful life.

After watching the drama, whenever Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the main light in her bedroom, the thought would automatically pop into her head: Why did you put it backlit!

But that was something that was bound to happen!

Hassan the Hundred Faces card was replaced with Achilles, and the Black Cup Mystic Code was re-equipped.

In Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, the pristine lake reappeared, the tip of her sword pointing at Leif.

"I will not let those boring tragedies happen again!"

P.S.: This is the third update today! Looking for recommendations! Looking for hate mail! Looking for donations!

Volume 1: Chapter 122. Director: Chaldea needs talents like you.

"It's over!"

"I'm still thinking about watching another battle, that sixty-fourth demon god!"

"Indeed, the sixty-fourth demon god. Although it has the word 'demon' in its name, it is still a god. Demon god, demon god, it sounds very powerful."

"And he's the sixty-fourth, which means there are at least sixty-three more ahead of him! If they were to fight, it would be incredibly exciting."

"It's a pity that world was destroyed, otherwise we should have been able to witness the battle between that demon god and the [Savior]."

"But that demigod hero from before was really something else. Twelve lives!"

"That's not right. I only saw the Savior kill him seven times, and then he was gone."

"Oh yeah, he suddenly lost six lives back then. Is there something wrong with that?"

"Perhaps it's because of the sword of the Savior. That sword is pitch black and doesn't look like a good sword. Moreover, the Savior said that it was his last Noble Phantasm. Could it be that the sword has some special ability that killed that demigod with six lives in one go, so he used it as his last Noble Phantasm?"

"Yes, yes, very likely!"

"And that green light, what's with that speed? My eyes can't even keep up! It's too fast!"

"Yes, yes, that's right too! The Savior has hidden so many abilities! We had no idea!"

At the outdoor tables outside the various taverns in Orario, adventurers gazed at the darkening sky and engaged in passionate discussions.

The live broadcast from the Sky Screen had ended, and the final battle did not take place. Although Lef was furious that Fujimaru Ritsuka was impersonating Solomon, the Singularity could no longer be maintained, so Lef could only leave the Fuyuki Singularity in anger. Gudako and Mashu were also transferred back to Chaldea.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka and Astrea, they naturally left with Astrea after the singularity disappeared.

While the people inside the tavern were discussing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka had already brought Astrea back to the clan's settlement.

Just like last time, Fujimaru Ritsuka carried Astrea back to their room, and the other members of the Familia outside immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.

"You're back!"

Ryu rushed to the front, and one by one, the original members appeared on her body, looking curiously at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Astrea.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone travel to another world to complete a great upgrade. They were filled with questions and wanted to get more details from Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Yes, we're back."

Fujimaru Ritsuka put Astrea down from his arms and nodded to the members of the Familia.

"This time it took much faster than last time."

Daphne, standing nearby, was curious. The last time she saw the sky, she was still with the Apollo Familia.

"I remember that not long after you went in, you said that this time it would only take half a day, and it really did end in half a day. So, this time, like last time, it's all the past that you already know?"

"Those who have seen the Sky Curtain should know about this, since I already told Astrea over there."

Daphne nodded in agreement at Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

"Although you mentioned it, you didn't reveal many details this time compared to last time. Everyone knows about the Holy Grail War because of the celestial barrier last time, but this Holy Grail War is completely different. We are still very curious about many hidden details."

"Are you curious? Let's talk about it together."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke, she switched cards on her system interface, removed the Black Cup, and then equipped Alice Phil's card.

"Let me release the other person who needs to know first."

With her arms outstretched, Fujimaru Ritsuka reactivated Alice Phil's Noble Phantasm.

"Begin chanting, White Cup!"

The Holy Grail reappeared above Fujimaru Ritsuka's head, accompanied by a white light. Olga Marie's soul, stored within the Holy Grail, then appeared.

After being released, Director Olga Marie stood on the ground with her eyes closed. After swaying slightly, she opened her eyes and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately questioned her.

"Hey, Fujimaru Ritsuka, what did you just put inside me?! As soon as I went in..."

Halfway through her questioning, the director stopped, turned her head and looked around at the Astrea Familia members surrounding her, only to find that she didn't recognize any of them.

Looking around again, she realized that this was neither Chaldea nor any familiar environment she knew.

She was taken to a completely unfamiliar place by this man, who was also named Fujimaru Ritsuka!

In her memory, she was just being thrown into Chaldea by Leif, facing the threat of death. Although she has been rescued by Fujimaru Ritsuka, the unfamiliar environment still makes her feel a little scared.

Olga Marie, who usually acts arrogantly, lowered her voice when facing this group of strangers.

"Ahem, first of all, I am very grateful to you for saving me from Leif, but as the director of Chaldea, I need to rush back to Chaldea to take charge of affairs. Without me in charge, Chaldea will be in complete chaos."

After saying that, Olga Marie looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and, seeing that he did not object, immediately continued speaking.

"Don't worry, as the head of a prestigious magic family, I will reward you handsomely. You kept calling me 'Director,' which means you want to join Chaldea, right? Although I don't know who was in charge of selecting Masters before, it is indeed his incompetence to overlook such an excellent Master as you."

"It just so happens that Chaldea is currently short of Masters to resolve Singularities. I can make an exception and let you join Chaldea as the first-priority Master, and together with that half-baked guy named Fujimaru Ritsuka, you can solve the troubles of other Singularities. How about it? This is a great achievement in saving humanity."

In response to the director's invitation, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hand and touched her chin, then asked a question in return.

"Director, do you really think I can save humanity?"

"Of course!"

Finally, the director heard a response from Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he was delighted. A response meant that they could discuss it, which was better than not saying a word at all.

"I am the director of Chaldea. My judgment is the most accurate. If I say you can do it, you definitely can!"

"In that case, let's go to the living room outside and discuss it first."

Volume 1: 123. A True Humanitarian Protection Plan

"Once upon a time, there was a magician named Marisbury Animusfia. He came from the prestigious Animusfia family of magicians and was skilled in celestial magic."

"The Animusfia family are descendants of King Solomon. For thousands of years, their sole mission has been to complete the celestial map, to reveal the objective workings of the universe!"

“Maris Billy, as the heir of the previous generation of the family, is also working hard to complete this task.”

In the living room of the family residence, there was also the spirit of the demon, who had moved out of the room, while Fujimaru Ritsuka stood alone on the outer perimeter, explaining the settings of the magic world to the people around her.

“I know that. I am the current heir of the Animusfia family, the one who inherited everything from the entire family.”

The director was very proud of the family settings that Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned, because it was her family's heritage, especially since Maris Billy, whom Fujimaru Ritsuka mentioned, was her most admired and proud father.

However, when faced with the proud director, Fujimaru Ritsuka only glanced at her with pity.

“Indeed, Director Olga Marie is the successor of this generation and an important part of Maris Billy’s completion of the astronomical map.”

"That's right, I am... wait, what did you say?"

The director looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise, wanting to correct her mistakes, but Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored him and continued her explanation.

"Most magicians place their hopes on the Root in order to fulfill their lifelong ideals, because the Root contains everything on Earth. So as long as they reach the Root, the magicians' ultimate ideals will basically be realized."

"But Maris Billy was different; he didn't pin his hopes on the root cause, but chose to take matters into his own hands!"

"He believes that human history is too fragile to cope with terrible dangers, such as alien threats, mysterious decline, and the tendency of humanity to self-destruct, and these are all uncontrollable."

"He deeply loves humanity, so he wants to protect humanity!"

"So he came up with an idea to make a model specimen of humanity along with human history! In this way, even if human history is destroyed, there will be specimens to ensure that human history exists."

"What did you say!"

Olga Marie opened her eyes wide.

“Your father doesn’t think like you!”

"Director, don't rush, listen to me slowly."

Fujimaru Ritsuka reached out and pressed down, signaling Olga Marie to calm down.

"Fine, I'd like to see what you can come up with."

"Using the funds accumulated by his family, and under the cover of offshore oil fields, he proved the existence of the Earth's soul by having the souls of 128 Masters resonate with the Earth. Then, using the data obtained, he created a simulated Earth environment model, Chaldea, which is the Chaldea that you Chaldea have observed."

"Then, by simulating the Root, a replica of the Root was created to serve as the core of Chaldea, a replica of the cosmological model Maris Chaldea."

"On the surface, these two items were created to simulate and observe the future of humanity, thereby ensuring that the future of humanity will not be destroyed."

"But in reality, both of these items were the ultimate tools that Marisby used to achieve his goals."

"He used his family's secret technique to summon Caster Solomon to participate in the Holy Grail War, and with Solomon's help, he won the Holy Grail War with overwhelming force, gaining the ability to make wishes on the Holy Grail. Director, guess what he wished for?"

"I have no idea."

Olga Marie shook her head.

"He did not believe in the mechanism of the Holy Grail, so he did not choose to reach the Root, but instead chose endless wealth. Then, relying on this wealth, he established Chaldea, an institution ostensibly used to protect human reason."

"And the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City was directly altered by him into a small Lostbelt."

"Wait, what's a Lostbelt? Isn't it a Singularity?"

Now, Astrea was also puzzled; this situation was different from what had been said before.
