"..."
The people present were a little surprised by Nightingale's reaction - shouldn't she be happy to see her boyfriend?
But Ian didn't hesitate.
He said directly:
"Everyone, just keep doing what you need to do—she's just shy."
"Oh...I see."
"No wonder he ran away."
Seeing the injured people nodding repeatedly, Ian didn't bother to say anything else and ran directly towards where Nightingale left, looking like a husband eager to chase his wife.
After following for a while, the two finally stopped on the rooftop of the hospital.
Here, is a place where only each other exists.
"..."
Looking at Nightingale leaning against the barbed wire, Ian sighed.
"Nightingale, why are you hiding from me?"
"Did I...do something to upset you?"
"Ian!"
Nightingale shouted as she looked at the man walking towards her.
"do not come!"
"..."
However, the man had no intention of stopping and just walked straight in front of her.
"What happened to you?"
"Just one night, do you hate me so much?"
"Could it be that I am too fickle?"
"I……"
Nightingale turned her head away, and it was obvious that she was unable to respond to the man's words.
When Ian saw her like this, he was not too anxious. Instead, he followed her example and leaned against the wire mesh.
"Ok."
"Since you don't want to talk about it, just stay with me for these last few hours."
"The last few hours?"
Nightingale seemed to realize something.
"Ian, what do you mean?"
"Well... you don't know yet." Ian looked at the sky above his head and said calmly, "This singularity is about to collapse - it will probably disappear in a few hours."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Since you hate me so much, Nightingale...it's not impossible to die here."
"you!"
Hearing this, Nightingale immediately became anxious.
"Why don't you leave here right now? That organization called Chaldea can't do without you!"
"Is it really because of them?"
Ian took Nightingale's hand and asked very seriously.
"Nightingale, tell me—who is it that you hate so much?"
"Is it because Shuten called you a cow monster?"
"Don't worry, she doesn't mean any harm. She just said that because her breasts are too small."
"If you don't like it... I will correct her immediately - but I hope you know that they are not bad people, they just... care about me too much."
"You and I……"
Nightingale's expression became quite complicated.
"No—I don't mind what she calls me. It's just a code name. At worst, I can just call her back to work on the wood."
"If that's not it, then what is it?"
Ian didn't want to give Nightingale any chance to hesitate.
No.
It should be said that it cannot be given.
After all, he doesn't want any girl to be wronged by him.
"Whatever it is, Nightingale, tell me your idea."
"We...said we would face this together, didn't we?"
"..."
Nightingale's pupils dilated slightly.
That's the reaction when your soul is touched.
"'Face it together...'" The nurse repeated what Ian had just said, looking somewhat lost. "Can I...really do this?"
"How can you not do it?"
Ian lifted Nightingale's chin, forbidding her to avoid his gaze.
"Didn't you agree to save all the injured patients?"
"But that kind of thing can't be done, right?"
Nightingale looked at him in front of her, and her tone began to become a little sad.
"The experiences Gareth talked about are simply not something someone like me can endure."
"Ian... I can't. I can't do it—I'm not the one who can do all this with you."
"..."
At this moment, Ian finally understood why Nightingale left.
She may have initially just wanted to know more about herself, but accidentally learned about her past experiences from Gareth.
And those experiences involving the safety of the world made this angel in white realize his limitations.
and then--
A kind of escape called "inferiority complex" was born.
Ian could understand that feeling.
Wasn't it the same with Fujimaru Ritsuka once upon a time?
"I see."
"You really can't—"
Ian's words made Nightingale even more uncomfortable.
But his next words made her eyes suddenly red.
"But do you think you'll never be able to do it?"
"Nightingale, are you really willing to watch the world clearly fall apart, yet still be unable to save it?"
"I don't believe you're that kind of person—not at any time."
"You are my important other half, so you must do it, understand?"
"I have to be able to do this?"
Nightingale looked at the man's serious gaze that brooked no room for rebuttal, and her voice trembled.
"Can I really?"
"Whether it's possible or not, that's something you can only judge after you've done it. Wouldn't you rather do nothing than give yourself a chance?"
Ian put his hands on Nightingale's ears and pushed her against the wire fence on the hospital rooftop.
"You are the one I like."
“So you absolutely can’t run away from this kind of thing.”
"I……"
"Don't hesitate, I just want to hear you say 'yes'."
"..."
"Say!"
"I can!"
"now it's right!"
Ian lowered his head and kissed the nurse in front of him. After she completely subsided, he continued.
"Come back to Chaldea with me."
"……Um."
Nightingale, who had regained her confidence, nodded.
"But before that, you have to answer me a question."
"what is the problem?"
"How many wives and girlfriends do you have?"
“Hey… this…”
"Say!"
“I haven’t counted them!”
"You really are a playboy..."
Nightingale said this, but she took the initiative to hug him and pressed her whole body against him.
"This is a very serious disease. I have to treat it..."
722. The Summoning Token is Actually...? (4k)
"Has Gray gone back early?"
"Okay, this way I don't have to worry."
Ian nodded while responding to the BB inside the communication.
"I'll be right back, don't worry—yes, yes, yes, I got it and won't put it off any longer."
There are only twenty minutes left until the singularity collapses.
Ian is making the final arrangements.
"Although this may offend you a little, it's unlikely that we'll be teleported back to Chaldea together. After all, you haven't logged in there yet."
"But that's okay."
The man's realization swept over the women present.
"As long as you leave something for me, I should be able to make you appear there."
"..."
"..."
After Ian said this, the girls who had never been to Chaldea looked at each other.
