After confirming that Cecilia had indeed experienced the same event, Einstein made a decision: to go directly to Jeanne after exiting the world portal and ask Cecilia what exactly happened during her previous time travel.
However, Einstein had no idea how long they would have to wander through this world's passage, and while Cecilia had experience, her amnesia meant she didn't know how long they would have to stay either.
"Um, I think we'll be out soon." Suddenly, a voice that was neither Cecilia nor Einstein interrupted Einstein's thoughts, and at the same time, it also interrupted Cecilia, who was lost in thought.
"Hey, you, you've woken up?" Cecilia was a little surprised to see the girl dressed in all black suddenly wake up. Of course, what surprised Cecilia even more was yet to come.
Not long after the girl dressed in black finished speaking, Cecilia, Einstein, and the other two girls arrived in a new world. If Cecilia considered the two things Jeanne had given her, she wouldn't think they had come to the wrong world. After all, the Lesser Grail's position relative to the Greater Grail was clear. Although Cecilia didn't know how Jeanne had set the Lesser Grail's position relative to the Greater Grail, she firmly believed that she had arrived in the world where Jeanne was, just like at the Joestar's house.
However, this world doesn't seem so friendly, after all, no one would think that a sky filled with blood-red clouds and scattered building ruins would be a friendly world.
Upon arriving in this world, the first thing Cecilia did was to observe everything around her.
One of the basic facts that Cecilia determined after observing the world was that its technological level was roughly the same as that of her previous world. At most, there might be a difference in the advanced aspects. However, considering that different worlds have different resources and certain special circumstances, the difference in development is not a problem. But when Cecilia thought of this, she suddenly became less confident in her previous judgment about this world, because she didn't know whether this world's technology tree had gone astray or not.
However, Cecilia hadn't thought about it for long before she saw something that looked rather troublesome.
What Cecilia saw were monsters made entirely of skeletons. These monsters had human limbs and, based on their skeletal structure, were virtually indistinguishable from humans. However, it was clear that these creatures were enemies.
“Dr. Einstein…” Cecilia whispered to Einstein, staring at the monsters. Einstein naturally understood what Cecilia meant, so he obediently stood behind her.
As for why he stood behind Cecilia, it was because Einstein was well aware of how weak his own combat power would be without Titan's help. Of course, although he stood behind Cecilia, Einstein didn't just watch her fight. He could also use this safe time to analyze the situation in the world and help Cecilia block attacks that might target the two girls.
"Go, big sister!" said the girl who had previously made the judgment that they were almost there. Although her expression now seemed to indicate that she was certain she wouldn't have to fight, of course, no world would send a girl who looked less than ten years old into battle. And Cecilia naturally wouldn't do what most worlds wouldn't do. By the way, the above statement doesn't apply in special circumstances. After all, if the racial war goes on to the end, who cares if you're a child? Because survival is the most important thing. If they can't survive, these children will suffer the same fate.
"..." As for the girl's emotionless cheering, Cecilia didn't say anything, her eyes still fixed on the monsters made of skeletons. But Cecilia's guess about this girl in all black was probably completely off track.
"Cecilia, don't get distracted, we're surrounded." Einstein reminded Cecilia, noticing that her focus wasn't quite on the right track. However, the predicament of being surrounded was resolved before the battle even began, thanks to Einstein's reminder.
"You guys, run!" A small pebble that suddenly appeared on the battlefield accompanied these words, giving Cecilia a chance to break through. However, if it were just an encirclement, Cecilia could handle it on her own. But if she tried to break through alone, Cecilia couldn't guarantee what would happen to the girls behind her. After all, it's a troublesome thing for one person to protect a group of people. Therefore, it was precisely because of this consideration that Cecilia thought that the small pebble was a good opportunity to break through.
Soon, the pebble that Cecilia considered her chance to break through exploded directly after hitting a monster made of skeletons. It was a moderate explosion, and upon seeing the explosion, Cecilia grabbed the white girl's hand that she had placed on the ground, put her on her back, and started running.
"Einstein!" Cecilia called out, and Einstein, of course, understood and ran in the direction Cecilia was heading, seeking an opportunity to break through without getting hurt.
Of course, even as Einstein followed Cecilia, he never forgot to ponder why a seemingly ordinary pebble could cause such a moderately large explosion without any assistance.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Einstein still couldn't come to a conclusion. Therefore, Einstein could only consider the answer to this question as a special case in another world.
It's not surprising to think this way, since this is another world. And another world means that common sense used in the original world may not be applicable in this world.

We cannot ignore tomorrow's Earth (Part 1): Chapter Six - If that's the case, I can rest easy.
An emergency occurred: a fire broke out in the central power plant and the central control office. The central area isolation wall would be sealed off in 240 seconds, and staff were to evacuate quickly through the second gate. Such announcements echoed throughout Chaldea.
While listening to the broadcast, Miss Jeanne realized something, something very important.
"The director is inside. I'll go to the Central Control Office to make preparations, senior." The voice of that junior, so pure that it couldn't be tainted by the return to the city, still resonated in Miss Na's memories.
"Oh dear, this is really troublesome." Recalling those words, Miss Na realized that she had to do something: "Although I don't want to get involved in this troublesome matter, I have no choice but to let it go now. After all, who wants to see such a cute junior die?"
As she spoke, Miss Jeanne, who had originally intended to head towards the elevator, took a different path, the one that led to the central control room.
"Hey, you over there, what are you doing? Why aren't you following instructions and taking refuge in a safe place?" With one minute left on the time limit, Miss Jeanne arrived at the door of the central control room. Although someone was shouting behind her, Miss Jeanne appropriately ignored the person's voice.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I need to go inside to find someone. But don't worry, I won't die." Without turning around, Miss Jeanne answered the man's question with her back to him.
"No matter what, it won't work. It's too dangerous inside now!" His footsteps grew closer and closer, and Miss Jeanne naturally had no intention of staying put and waiting for him. Therefore, before he got close enough to pull her back, Miss Jeanne walked into the central control room.
Coincidentally, just seconds after Miss Jeanne entered the central control room, before he could even reach the door, the partition wall descended without warning, separating the two of them.
“Even in another world, you’re still as prone to worrying as ever.” Without turning to look at the falling barrier, Miss Jeanne spoke softly with her back to it, as if she were greeting a long-lost friend. Of course, this kind of greeting is usually used in front of graves, but for some reason, Miss Jeanne used this tone.
"Alright, the most urgent thing now is to find Mash. If we can't find Mash, things will get really troublesome." Miss Jeanne looked at the wreckage on the ground, then at the still unharmed Chaldea, and made a slight assessment of the situation: "So, the bomb did explode in the end. And considering Olga Marie's condition, it seems that the naive but dutiful director is probably dead."
It's understandable that Miss Jeanne would make such a judgment. After all, if someone were to actually make a move against Chaldea, it would be almost certain that the person in the director's position would be doomed. Other positions might not necessarily result in death, but the person in the director's position would most likely die.
Furthermore, the fact that Chaldea was not destroyed proves that the guy did not do this to destroy Chaldea or to steal from it.
Such actions are more like the acts of human destruction that Miss Na has heard of.
"Oh dear, burning down the human settlements sounds like such a hassle." Miss Jeanne complained as she looked at the ruins of the buildings. "If it were me, I would place the bomb on the top layer of the mountain. If it's properly placed, it can basically wipe out everyone inside, and it won't be easy to be discovered."
Then, he took the opportunity to criticize the unprofessionalism of the person who planted the bomb.
“However, given the current situation, we should still go find Mash…” Just as Miss Jeanne was about to say this, she heard a very interesting voice: “Hmm, I see. In other words, it doesn’t matter whether we go find Mash or not. After all, spirit particle transfer is an experiment that can only be performed on living people.”
What Miss Jeanne heard wasn't anything particularly noteworthy; it would be better to say it was the sound of a pre-programmed sequence starting up on its own.
“But, that’s what I say, but I should still decide what to do.” Jeanne, talking to herself, stepped over the wreckage, searching for Mash.
Thanks to her superhuman hearing, Jeanne heard Fou's voice, even though she didn't hear Mashu's. Judging from the source of the sound, Jeanne was pretty sure that Mashu was nearby, since wherever Fou was, Mashu was too.
Miss Jeanne moved toward the source of the sound, and after crossing just a few minor obstacles, she found the person she had been searching for.
The innocent girl was pinned down by a huge rock, and if calculated based on the rock's volume, Miss Jeanne was almost certain that the rock weighed at least thirty tons.
But now is not the time for Jeanne to dwell on these things. What Jeanne needs to do now is help Mashu. Although as long as Mashu is still alive, the two of them will be taken away by the spirit transfer, Jeanne always feels that something is strange in her heart.
"Mash, wake up." After sitting down next to Mash, Jeanne called out to her, as if trying to rouse Mash from her unconsciousness.
"Sen...?" After hearing Jeanne's call, Mashu woke up not long after. Although her words were still a little broken, she was at least awake.
As for why Jeanne wanted Mash to wake up, it's because Jeanne wasn't sure if a comatose person could undergo spirit transfer. If it were possible, Jeanne wouldn't even wake Mash, since explaining things to her later would be quite troublesome.
"Senior, run! There's no time!" Mashu turned her head slightly and saw Jeanne sitting next to her. Although Mashu knew she was beyond saving, seeing Jeanne not moving made Mashu a little angry for some reason. But even though she was angry, Mashu still chose to let Jeanne leave.
"Alright, alright, there's not enough time for me to get out, and the oxygen here is being used up very quickly. We'll both die soon." Jeanne said, listening to Mashu's words, but in Mashu's eyes, there was still a slight smile on Jeanne's face.
Although she didn't know what Jeanne was laughing about, Mashu still shouted, hoping that Jeanne would escape: "Senpai, run!"
"But..." As Mashu's voice grew increasingly anxious as she urged her to leave, Jeanne's smile became more and more incomprehensible to Mashu.
"But?" Mashu repeated Jeanne's question in a weak voice, hoping to deduce what Jeanne was thinking.
“However, the spirit particle transfer system will be activated soon. If what you told me is correct, then we will both be teleported away by spirit particles before we run out of oxygen and before we die.” Miss Jeanne looked at Mash, who was becoming increasingly weak, and added after a moment’s thought, “Of course, I don’t know the conditions for spirit particle transfer, which is why I woke you up. If someone who is unconscious cannot undergo spirit particle transfer, we will be in trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Mashu realized that her senior seemed to have planned everything out in advance. However, Mashu then realized something else: "Senior, could you perform a spirit transfer?"
"Don't worry, if I hadn't been able to perform the spirit transfer, I wouldn't be called a special assignee of the Clock Tower, would I?" Jeanne answered Mashu's question in a very gentle voice.
"That puts my mind at ease."

We Cannot Ignore Tomorrow's Earth (Part 1): Chapter Seven - The Director's Bizarre Adventure
Singularity F was created based on the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City in 2004. If the original script had been followed, it should have ended with the victory of the Saber duo.
The current situation is that a past that cannot be observed in the future was born, which is the so-called Singularity F. Of course, such a thing cannot be ignored, because if this Singularity is ignored, human history will inevitably come to an end in 2016.
At least, that's Chaldea's assessment, but Olga Marie has absolutely no idea what the actual situation is.
Olga Marie is now wondering about something. Although she was prepared for it, she still can't be sure that she is dead.
However, putting aside whether she would die or not, there were still many things Olga Marie couldn't be sure of. But no matter how she thought about it, looking at the monsters made of skeletons around her, Olga Marie could clearly realize one thing: if she didn't escape, Olga Marie would die here.
"The situation is still the same as that unknown guy said." With that, Olga Marie picked up a few pebbles from the ground and started running. The reason Olga Marie picked up the pebbles was actually very simple. After all, Olga Marie still needed a little bit of spellcasting materials.
While running, Olga Marie figured out some things that were previously unclear. First, she realized whether she was still dead. Although this fact was a little cruel, Olga Marie had no choice but to accept it. If she didn't accept it, she wouldn't be able to think about what she should do after seeing Miss Jeanne again.
'First of all, I can confirm that I don't have the aptitude for spirit transfer, which means that if I were still human, or still alive, I would absolutely not be able to get here.' Thinking this, Olga Marie hid in a small alley, and luckily, she didn't see the monster that had discovered her earlier in the alley.
"Adding to the information we obtained from that unidentified fellow, it's almost certain that someone has attacked Chaldea. However, considering the unique nature of Chaldea's construction and the situation with the national institutions and the Clock Tower, it's unlikely that anyone here would want to attack us. Yet, right now, someone has indeed launched an attack." Olga Marie peeked out from around the corner of the alley, observing whether there were any monsters made of skeletons on the paths she might use next.
Similarly, the signs of human civilization that we could previously observe in Chaldea began to gradually diminish, and a few days ago, they completely disappeared. Immediately after their disappearance, we observed Singularity F. Considering the enemy's situation, it's possible to confirm that they have been targeting certain historically significant locations for humankind.
Thinking of this, Olga Marie, who was sitting on the ground enchanting those pebbles, trembled slightly, causing the pebble in her hand to temporarily become unusable for further preparation.
However, it is normal for such a situation to occur. After all, if Olga Marie's guess is correct, perhaps Chaldea is the last spark of human civilization. Of course, if those historical events that are extremely important to human history can be restored, Chaldea will no longer be a spark, or at least it will not be a lonely spark... probably.
"Alright, calm down first. Overthinking won't help. Besides, if I were really dead, this wouldn't be a question I should be thinking about." Knowing that further speculation would be pointless, Olga Marie patted her cheeks slightly and picked up the pebbles from the ground to prepare for the next step.
Of course, whenever she had to use her hands to enchant, Olga Marie would start to wonder why she hadn't brought her Mystic Code. But rather than saying she hadn't brought it, it was more accurate to say that the chances of those things surviving such an explosion were extremely slim.
However, before she could finish preparing the next stone, Olga Marie heard a slight noise. Upon hearing this, Olga Marie immediately turned her work towards the source of the sound.
When Olga Marie turned her head, she saw a monster made of bones, and the monster was looking at Olga Marie.
Without much hesitation, Olga Marie grabbed the three stones she had prepared beforehand and ran off along the path she had been observing.
Only after Olga Marie's actions did the monster realize that it should have gone to capture Olga Marie.
"Damn it, why are there these things everywhere here?" Olga Marie complained as she ran. However, Olga Marie's complaint was actually quite accurate. After all, although singularities are not observed by Chaldea, there shouldn't be so many monsters here.
After realizing this, Olga Marie understood that these magical creations that had been following her around were definitely not creatures belonging to the Singularity itself. In fact, the Singularity itself was illogical, because although Olga Marie had never been to a Singularity, in her mind, a Singularity should not deviate too much from the places she had observed before.
After getting rid of the skeletons, Olga Marie realized that there were enemies here. However, rather than realizing it, Olga Marie was forced to realize it.
“Although those things seem to be very harmful to people, their target acquisition mode should be patrolling plus automatic target acquisition, and these things are not fast enough.” Olga Marie confirmed the situation, and just as she guessed, the skeletal monsters seemed to disappear after failing to catch up with Olga Marie for a long time.
"The targeting mechanism is still unclear, but it's basically certain that these things will stop targeting the person they were looking for after a certain period of time." Recalling the situation with the monsters before, Olga Marie made a guess that she wasn't sure if it was correct. After all, Olga Marie didn't know if it was manually controlled or just automatically observed.
"Damn it, my feet hurt so much. I should have worn flat shoes." After finishing her analysis, Olga Marie squatted down slightly and rubbed her feet. Although walking in high heels was a normal thing for Olga Marie, she had already run at least a kilometer. Even with the help of magic, Olga Marie still felt discomfort in her feet.
However, Olga Marie hadn't been rubbing for long when she heard another sound. That sound was different from the others. Olga Marie could say with certainty that the sound was not something that these skeletons could make.
Avoiding the gaze of the skeletal monster, Olga Marie slowly made her way to the location from which the sound had come.
Upon arriving there, Olga Marie found herself surrounded by four women encircled by monsters made of bones, one of whom was unconscious.
'What should I do? Should I save them? I don't know their situation, but they look like they need help.' Olga Marie stared at the four people surrounded by those things, weighing the pros and cons of saving them.
