Mary took the slap from Ian without dodging, and even seemed to want to respond proactively.

"Because your magic power is of high quality—I'm afraid even Altria doesn't have magic power of this level."

"and……"

"And what?"

“And it’s really good…”

"Stop, I know what you're trying to say."

Having said that, what else can Ian say?

He could only try his best to make this girl, who was praising him without reservation, understand what it meant to be worthy of the reputation.

In the ambiguity, the microphone on the ground was touched by Mary's shaking feet, and then rolled straight forward.

Mary, really realized her dream of becoming Ian's cat.

But just as he was exchanging equals with the Flower Magician once again, Ian suddenly heard her say:

"Speaking of which-"

"I actually have some thoughts about what you just mentioned."

"What did I just mention?"

"Yeah." Merry nodded, who was at a disadvantage. "About Galahad becoming a Servant."

"..."

Ian paused for a moment, then paid serious attention to the topic.

"Merry, what do you mean?"

"I was thinking..." Mary glanced at the door not far away. After Ian came in, it was completely closed.

"Chaldea, isn't there a precedent for summoning servants?"

"I mean... there should be a summon before you, right?"

"..."

Mary's words made Ian fall into deep thought.

"The summons before this..."

Ian soon had the corresponding answer as to who was actually in charge of Chaldea.

"Indeed."

"da Vinci."

Yes.

As someone who uses his Noble Phantasm, Uomo Universale, to repair Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci is not a living human being.

Leonardo da Vinci, in contrast, was a Servant.

This is exactly what Mary said.

“Indeed, there is.”

Mellie put her arms around Ian's neck.

Although he looked like he was being played around, the man actually felt that the Flower Magician in front of him was completely on top of his mind and logic.

And this is indeed the case.

Meili quickly continued:

"So--"

"If a Servant like Leonardo da Vinci really existed, would there be a second, a third? Or even someone before her?"

"..."

Ian suddenly understood.

"You mean... there are Servants inside Chaldea that we don't know about?"

"You could say that—but whether it's true or not is hard to say."

"Ian...you know what to do, right?"

"..."

The originally somewhat confusing clues were sorted out in an instant, and Ian gave his answer almost instantly.

"Go find the director and ask him clearly, right?"

"correct."

"Then Meili, you..."

"It's already great—" Mary licked her lips, "I didn't expect to see you today, but now this is a good deal."

"Besides..."

Mellie sipped gently on Ian's neck.

"If I don't let you go, you'll hate me, right?"

"..."

"You really do understand completely."

"Well, of course I understand."

Ever since——

After a brief moment of tenderness, Ian put Mary down and let her return to her anchor chair.

"Well, Mellie, I'm going."

"Well—I'm just about to start broadcasting."

"it is good."

With a click, the door opened and then closed again.

Mary was the only one left in the room.

But no one expected that she, who was calm just now, would start to change after Ian left.

"So happy... so happy... I was bullied by him so rudely again today... I'm really happy..."

Mary licked her hand that Ian had held, like a kitten finding delicious dried fish.

"So this is what it feels like to be 'loved'?"

With a buzzing sound——

The microphone in the live broadcast room was turned on, and the screen became brighter than before.

"Everyone——"

"How are you doing today?"

"I, Magical Girl☆Merry, am living a very good life—"

Ian had no idea what Mary had done after he left.

His attention was completely locked on the possibility that Mary had just mentioned.

If a Servant like Leonardo da Vinci exists, then perhaps there are other parts that have yet to be discovered!

if……

If we could figure out all of this, maybe we could understand the relationship between Galahad and Mash, and sort out the reason for his hatred for Mordred!

Ian felt that the key to unlocking everything seemed to be in his hands!

however--

Things are never that easy, just like Ian's extremely complicated fate.

"Hey, Ian, why are you looking for me at this time?"

"It's urgent—Where are you, Director? I need to talk to you in person."

"I'm here at Da Vinci's, um... I'm discussing some magic questions with her."

"Wait for me there, I'll be right there."

"……it is good."

After a while, according to the location revealed by Olga Marie during the conversation, Ian arrived at the place where she and Da Vinci were neatly.

As soon as he saw Ian, it was as if a switch was touched for Da Vinci.

"Dear Ian, long time no see!"

"Dear Leonardo da Vinci." Ian imitated the other person's tone and started a friendly conversation. "Isn't this what we talk about every day in meetings? We just haven't met in person."

"You can't say that. If you only listen to the sound..."

Leonardo da Vinci glanced at Olga Marie beside him.

"It still feels lonely, doesn't it?"

"you!"

Olga Marie blushed.

"Leonardo da Vinci! Stop looking at me with those weird eyes!"

"Hahaha." Da Vinci laughed, "As expected, the young director immediately blushes when Ian is mentioned."

"Hmm...it's just like a fiancée meeting her fiancée."

"you!"

Olga Marie turned her face away.

"I've already been married—what's the point of having a fiancé or fiancée..."

"what?"

Da Vinci blinked his eyes and covered his mouth.

She felt as if she had just heard something extraordinary.

"nothing!"

Olga Marie ended the subject very decisively.

"Ian, so what exactly is the important matter you're talking about—now that we've come to this point, can you tell us?"

"..."

Leonardo da Vinci's gaze also followed.

Although she likes to joke, she also has a serious side - otherwise, she would not have played so many crucial roles in these repairs.

"..."

Ian glanced at Da Vinci, then at Olga Marie, and quickly spoke:

"It's actually not a big problem."

"I just want to know—"

"Before Da Vinci was summoned, did Chaldea summon any other Servants?"

"Eh?"

Before Olga Marie could speak, Leonardo da Vinci was surprised.

"I haven't heard this question for a long time—"

"Little Director, what do you think?"

"This……"

Olga Marie's expression suddenly became complicated, and it seemed as if she had something to hide.

"Ian, why do you ask this question?"
