The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Scathach's reaction was more straightforward.

She pointed her Gae Bolg Alternative directly at the man.

"so--"

"Do you say that to every girl you meet?"

"..."

Facing the gleaming gun pointed at him, Ian's expression remained calm.

He continued without changing his expression.

"Because I know that I can't do this kind of thing by myself."

"I need you, I need her, and I need many, many people to help."

"It's not about being philandering - I feel like I've acted with a clear conscience every step of the way."

"Of course... I don't expect, nor do I ask, that you understand this."

"But this is what I really mean."

"..."

Ian's simple words made Scathach hesitate.

She understood that what he expressed was indeed his inner thoughts, but whether she could accept it was another matter.

And at this moment——

Contact also came from Chaldea.

"Pig——"

"It's almost time to leave this singularity."

BB issued this "ultimatum" in the communicator.

719. New Members of Chaldea's Harem (4k)

BB's reminder came suddenly.

But Ian was not surprised.

after all--

If you take a full count, the time spent repairing this singularity has far exceeded that of the previous singularities.

To be more precise, it seems that with the implementation of singularity repair, the time required each time is much longer than before.

This might be...

Is this also an ominous sign?

"Okay, I understand." Ian briefly responded to BB's request.

"I'll be back as soon as possible."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the communicator at first, and then BB continued to add to the conversation.

"Pig, don't blame BB for not reminding you."

"Based on the results of the test just now, the singularity you are currently in may only exist for one day at most."

"As for the reason...if BB is not mistaken, is there another fight going on over there?"

"..."

As expected of a super AI that transcends its time, BB could probably guess the outcome of the battle between Athena and Indra even though he hadn't witnessed it.

Faced with her like this, Ian naturally no longer concealed anything.

"Well, that's true."

"We've dealt with the enemies here briefly—now, we should be able to head back directly."

"but……"

"BB, can you give me some time? There are some things I need to take care of."

"I knew you would say that."

BB seemed to have anticipated everything.

"BB has set a very tight time for the return trip—but BB still wants to remind you not to get stuck. No one knows what will happen if the singularity collapses!"

"Well, I see."

Ian smiled with satisfaction.

"When we get back, I'll reward you handsomely."

"Who, who wants to think of that as a reward? That's what BB deserves! You don't think BB will let you go after you come back, do you?!"

"Really……"

"that is!"

After a few simple jokes, Ian ended his contact with BB.

His gaze returned to Nero and Scathach in front of him.

The man had intentionally informed both of them of the content of his conversation with BB just now.

"You two, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand." Nero supported his hands on his hips and nodded, "But have you really finished everything you need to do before returning?"

“It’s done, but it’s also not done.”

"Eh?"

Nero looked confused at the man's answer.

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Well……"

Ian's gaze slowly moved from Nero to Scathach on the other side.

"Like the Holy Grail that led to this singularity, Ritsuka and Mashu actually found it long ago. We came here just to join them and deal with the remaining enemies."

"but……"

"Although the Holy Grail has been found, as for humans..."

Ian didn't say anything else.

But his meaning was quite clear - he wanted to know whether Scathach was willing to return to Chaldea with him.

Even Nero fully understood this.

At this time, the Roman emperor also looked at Scathach, who had just competed with him for her husband, following the man's gaze.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she took the initiative to speak:

"Although I still think you are my love rival——"

"but……"

The girl extended her hand as if handing over a ceasefire agreement.

"Since the Master said that he believes you can help him achieve his goal of saving the world, I will reluctantly accept your identity."

"after all--"

"I'm not a stingy person."

"..."

Facing the hand reaching out to her, Scathach's expression looked a little complicated.

Obviously, she still couldn't accept this kind of words that sounded like a ceasefire agreement.

only--

She didn't look like she wanted to refuse.

This made Nero a little anxious - she had finally made the preparations to bow her head, but this guy was so ungrateful?

"Hmm!"

"Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?! Then I have to tell you that I'm not a good-tempered person - don't make me unhappy!"

"That was not what I meant."

Scathach, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"I'm just curious about one thing."

"Curious about something?"

Nero frowned slightly, trying hard to suppress the anger burning in his heart.

"Tell me about it?"

"Rome is still very welcoming to people who love to learn."

"that is……"

Scathach looked at Ian on the side, and then saw his gentle eyes - that was enough to make her heart beat.

"You were obviously very angry with me—but you still gave in because of what Ian said."

"Did he...did he do anything important for you?"

"Eh?"

After being asked this question by Scathach, the unhappiness that had originally surrounded Nero disappeared completely.

Instead, it was the most normal reaction of a young girl when asked about her innermost thoughts.

"Why do you suddenly want to ask me such a thing?"

"I just want to know."

Scathach's reaction was as calm as ever.

This wasn't surprising—her emotions hadn't fluctuated in a long time.

"It's impossible that you would just compromise like that without any reason, right?"

"..."

Nero pursed his chin and thought seriously about the answer to this question.

Finally, she nodded and replied:

"Because the teacher is someone who has done a lot for Rome."

"He, like me, deeply loves Roma. In this case, I absolutely cannot let this feeling down."

"As the Roman Emperor, I will protect him for eternity."

"..."

The expression on Scathach's face became more complicated at that moment.

But soon, she seemed to have figured something out and smiled with relief.

"So--"

"Can I understand it this way?"

"He...is your and Rome's hero?"

"'Yu and the Heroes of Rome'?"

It was the first time that Nero heard such a name, and her slightly open lips showed her novelty at the moment.

"That sounds like a really nice name—I'll just reluctantly allow you to address my teacher in this way!"

"I see."
