Ian took Matthew's hand and asked her to sit next to him.

"I, actually, have always wanted to see Mashu again."

"..."

Mashu didn't respond directly to Ian's words, but nodded shyly.

"Well...I see."

If I had to give a comment, Ian felt that Mary's personality was better able to perform when getting along with others.

But personally, Mashu's shy style has a unique flavor that is worth savoring.

The former is like unruly waves;

The latter has more of a trickle experience.

of course.

There is definitely no difference between the two.

The only difference is probably the expression of the two during the process.

but……

Ian looked at his phone, which was playing the video of what had just happened. Looking at Mashu, who looked shy but still very serious, his expression became a little subtle.

"Mashu, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure..." Mashu answered cautiously, but her expression looked very happy.

"What's the problem?"

"Who told you to let me record the video at a time like this—" Ian's hand gently stroked Mashu's head.

"It doesn't seem to me like something you would do on your own initiative."

"Eh……"

Mashu, who was being patted on the head, showed a surprised expression.

That's the reaction you'll have when your true thoughts are seen through.

"Senior, how did you know?"

"Because Mashu wouldn't take the initiative to cross the line like this—" Ian pinched Mashu's nose and then wiped it gently.

"If I'm not mistaken, the director taught you that, right?"

"..."

Although she couldn't respond directly, Mashu's eyes said it all.

"As expected..."

Ian sighed after getting the answer.

"Mashu, haven't you ever suspected that the director was using you to test the results of this? She hasn't tried it herself, so she came to you to try her luck."

"I know……"

Mashu licked the corner of her mouth.

"But I'm willing to do it."

"After all—if the senior really likes you, then the director can have another way to get along with you; if the senior doesn't like you, then the director can avoid a way that is not suitable for getting along with you."

"Hmm... no matter how you think about it, this is a very good result!"

"..."

Ian hadn't thought of what Matthew had thought of.

He couldn't help but feel more distressed for this considerate girl.

"Then it seems like we'll have to ask Mashu to film something more interesting next time."

"No problem—as long as Senior likes it, I'm fine with it!"

After saying this, Mashu realized that this seemed a bit too exaggerated (actually it wasn't an exaggeration at all), so she quickly added a sentence.

"What I mean is... I only shoot when Senior tells me to, not at other times."

"Ah."

Ian nodded to show his approval of Mashu's words.

He placed his hand on her head, feeling the rush of heat that came from expressing his devotion.

After Mashu narrowed her eyes slightly, the man continued to ask:

"Mashu, are you still investigating the Noble Phantasm?"

"If so, answer me, please?"

"some."

Mashu nodded without hesitation.

This was not a surprising answer - although she said that she didn't want to trouble everyone anymore, she still wanted to find out the truth in her heart.

After all, knowing the true name of the Noble Phantasm and not knowing the true name of the Noble Phantasm will result in completely different combat power.

Speaking of which——

It seems that the director has named such a treasure before.

"Pseudo-Expansion of the Hypothetical Noble Phantasm/The Foundation of Humanity (Lord Chaldea)"

But Mashu seems to rarely touch upon this name.

Perhaps for her, it also means her own shortcomings to some extent.

We need to make it clearer.

Ian looked at her in front of him and continued to ask:

"So, what progress have you made now?"

Mashu's throat moved slightly, but she finally shook her head.

There was a hint of loss in her eyes.

“Almost nothing…”

"..."

Ian was also not surprised by this answer.

After all, although he and Merry spent a relatively long life in Britain, Mashu did not.

In that case...

Could it be that everything Mashu and I did during that time actually had no effect at all?

No.

That shouldn't be possible.

Although it does continue along the original world line, it does not mean that the situation is exactly the same as before.

Men still remember...

Meli said these words to Galahad when he was about to be washed away by the river.

"A spell has been cast upon this child."

"So, no matter what, it must be able to drift to France."

This certainly could not have been Galahad's original experience.

So that means...

The world is quietly changing.

Wait a moment……

Ian suddenly realized something.

If Mary had left such magic on Gaharad back then, then isn't there a possibility that such magic has not changed with the times?

In other words...

Ian looked at Mashu, who was extremely loyal to him.

Since she had indeed had contact with the child named Gaharad, and because of him she had obtained the giant shield that was extremely similar to the Round Table.

Wouldn't that make magic like this flow back?

Thinking of this, Ian immediately had a corresponding idea.

He had to understand all this for Mashu!

The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield stopped in an instant.

Instead, it was the man's "order" to Mashu.

"Mashu, show me the real you."

"..."

Mashu's breathing quickened slightly, but she still did what she was supposed to do according to Ian's instructions.

She was brought to the mirror by the man.

Between the shadow and reality, the pink-haired girl saw his gaze fixed on her.

She blushed, but her consciousness became more cooperative.

"Senior... I'm ready."

Everything goes smoothly——

When Ian checked a certain place along Mary's previous magic clue, he was stunned for a moment.

because……

Mashu really had that kind of reaction!

761. The Use of Mashu/Merry's Twintails in the Mirror (4k)

"..."

After confirming this fact, Ian felt his head buzzing.

The magic that was supposed to be on Galahad now actually happened to Mashu.

How could this be?

Ian felt that things might be more complicated than he thought.

However, what he didn't know was that this brief silence caused by thinking was soon misunderstood by Mashu as dissatisfaction with himself.

"Senior..."

"Did I do something wrong? Why didn't you say anything?"

"..."

Looking at the worried pink-haired girl in the mirror, Ian suddenly realized that it was not the time for him to say all this.

At least……

Now is not the time to do that.

Let's just let her be happy for a while.

"It's a bit bad indeed." Ian whispered sweet nothings in Mashu's ear, causing the girl to blush. "Why don't you say you love me at all? Is it impossible to make Mashu happy like this?"

"Nothing!"

Mashu shook her head repeatedly, and it was obvious that she was really afraid of being regarded as such by Ian.

"I'm just worried that if I don't obey Senior's orders, it will cause trouble for Senior. If others get angry with Senior because of it, it will be even more troublesome."

"That's why... I didn't dare to take any action."
