The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Only the traces of the spells on it...

Can't go wrong.

This is something from the same school as Mary's.

Someone left such a thing here!

Could it be Merlin?

No.

This kind of thing shouldn't be possible.

After all, Mary said that in order to come to his side, she directly "swapped" with the original terrible magician.

Wherever she is, it is difficult to see his presence.

This was confirmed by Mary herself - Ian believed she would not lie about such a thing.

So……

Is it a third party?

Is it a third party that you don’t know about?

Ian felt that things were getting closer and closer to the truth.

only--

At this time, the man calmed down.

very dangerous.

Then it is obviously the most reasonable thing to face it alone.

"Ritsuka, go back."

"Return to them immediately."

"Why?" the girl asked in confusion.

"Because I'm going to try to open this—"

Ian looked at the wall in front of him.

“I don’t know what will happen next.”

"..."

These were obviously words spoken by Ian to protect Ritsuka Fujimaru.

But the latter shook his head at this time.

"No."

"I'm not going back—"

"why?"

Ian turned around and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who rarely disobeyed his orders.

"Why are you throwing a tantrum at this hour?"

"You're the one throwing a tantrum!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka supported his waist with his hands, showing unprecedented seriousness.

"Ian!"

"Have you forgotten what we said to those guys in Chaldea when we started these repairs?"

"I!"

The girl pointed at herself.

"you!"

The girl pointed at the man.

"We are the savior partners recognized by the entire Chaldea."

"Now you want me to go back alone and leave you here?"

"That won't work!"

"That's absolutely not okay!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru took a few steps forward and came in front of the man, showing a rare tough attitude.

"You either come back with me in absolute safety and report this information to everyone."

"Or let me start this thing with you."

"You're leaving me here alone and asking me to go back to work? Forget it!"

"I also want to protect you!"

"..."

Ian was stunned by Ritsuka Fujimaru's sudden shout.

Then he laughed.

"Hahaha."

"What are you laughing at!" Fujimaru Ritsuka protested, "I'm saying this very seriously, don't think I'm..."

Before the girl could finish her words, the man kissed her on the lips.

"Well……"

Ritsuka Fujimaru's hands were beating Ian's body weakly, but his movements became more coordinated.

She didn't expect to receive a kiss from a man at this time, but she was also happy about it.

I was thinking about how to make him take the initiative...

It doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Just standing in front of him is enough!

Ended with a kiss.

Ian took Ritsuka Fujimaru's hand.

At this moment, he had a completely new understanding of his partner - her character was not as soft as he had imagined.

This is...

A total tomboy!

But there's nothing wrong with this kind of personality - at least that's the kind of Master Mashu needs.

"Ritsuka, if you see something you shouldn't, don't scream."

"I'm not calling—" Fujimaru Ritsuka tightened his grip on Ian's hand.

"I'm not the same person I used to be!"

No more words.

Ian no longer hesitated. He directly relied on the process in his memory to start the spell in front of him.

Time waits for no one, he has to figure everything out as soon as possible.

It was expected, but it could also be said to be unexpected.

The moment the man "started", the ground began to shake violently.

That familiar feeling instantly reminded Fujimaru Ritsuka of the previous scene.

“Ian——!”

“That’s how we were back then!”

"..."

Ian remained silent.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's words made Ian realize the nature of the earthquake that destroyed their continued exploration of the Round Table Fortress.

That's right.

There is someone like himself who "activates" these spells hidden deep in the Round Table Fortress.

Then the "reason" for preserving this place is obvious - if even the place where it is activated collapses, then this fortress will be completely "out of control".

Everything is arranged...

It's not a surprise at all.

When a man fully realizes this, the situation has become less controllable.

Amidst the violent vibrations, the Round Table Fortress also began to "change".

“Hey, this!”

If it was an enemy, Fujimaru Ritsuka knew what to do.

But now it’s an “attack” from the ground, so it’s not clear anymore!

Fortunately-

She had Ian by her side.

The man's mind is exceptionally clear at this time.

"Ritsuka, hold me tight!"

"Hey, okay!"

The savior partners hugged each other.

As the vibrations grew, the ground opened its mouth like a wild beast, and "swallowed" Ian and Fujimaru Ritsuka bloodily.

"Ahhhh-"

The girl's scream echoed in the passage that was descending at the speed of light.

But she herself was not hurt.

Because Ian completely protected her - she wanted to protect him, and so did he.

Fortunately, this rapid fall did not last long.

The two of them soon stopped.

"Ian, are you okay?"

After Fujimaru Ritsuka "landed", the first thing he did was to ask the man next to him.

"What can I do?"

"As long as you're okay."

"..."

"I'm sorry." Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his face a little embarrassedly, "I clearly said I would protect you, but in the end it ended up like this..."

"It's amazing that you can come in here."

Ian rubbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's forehead.

"If you must apologize—"

"How about you compensate me with your body next time?"

"..."

"I knew you would say that." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the man in front of him, "But - it's totally fine!"

"I'm not that easy to mess with!"

"but……"

"Before, I think there is one thing that needs to be resolved,"

"What's the matter?" the man asked in confusion.
