The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"If you have to say it..."

"I feel like he doesn't look like a human being!"

"what?!"

896. The Director's On-site Service/The Girl Who Returned to Her Hometown (4k)

Da Vinci's answer left Ian speechless for a moment.

“Not a human…?”

"Dear Da Vinci, what do you mean?"

"Hey, it seems you misunderstood me." Da Vinci smiled as he looked at Ian, whose expression seemed to become a little nervous because of his words.

"I mean...Roman, in every sense of the word, doesn't behave like an ordinary person."

"..."

Feeling that what Da Vinci wanted to express seemed to be slightly different from what he understood, Ian quickly asked further questions.

"What exactly does this unusual thing mean?"

"Well……"

Leonardo da Vinci put his fingers under his chin, looking as if he was thinking seriously.

“Come to think of it, there are actually several categories.”

"For example... I often find that he only needs a very short sleep to be as energetic as other people."

"This kind of thing isn't something that ordinary people can have, right?"

"..."

"Uh..." Ian's expression became a little embarrassed. "This shouldn't be considered as a basis for judging whether one is human or not, right?"

"Don't worry—"

Leonardo da Vinci continued calmly.

"Well, you showed up in Chaldea a little late, so you might not be aware of Roman's protests against Chaldea's Servant summoning."

"It seems...he doesn't really believe in 'Servants' or anything like that."

"In this respect, I think I'm different from most people in Chaldea. That's the real reason why I say this."

"..."

Ian pondered for a moment, then asked a new question.

"That--"

"If you put it that way, then he must hate you too—after all, you're a Servant too, right?"

"But your relationship seems pretty good."

"Eh, you think so too?" Da Vinci smiled. "That's probably because my performance really made him feel that there is hope for the 'Servant', right?"

"And for some reason, I always feel that his cognition is also changing - especially after you started implementing the singularity repair plan. This is even more so."

"..."

"This..." Ian didn't know what to say for a moment.

When Leonardo da Vinci saw him like this, he also smiled.

"It's okay, I just said it casually, you don't have to take it so seriously."

"Maybe it's all just my illusion, isn't it?"

"..."

Ian wanted to say something more, but at this moment, he heard the voices of Nero and Mordred.

The two of them poked their heads out from Athena's core (actually the chest) and waved their hands towards Ian.

"Hmm! Teacher! This place is really suitable to be Yu's stage!"

"Master! This place is so interesting!"

Apparently—

Athena, both inside and out, was exactly what these two people wanted.

"Okay~"

Da Vinci looked ahead.

"Anyway, right now, we need to figure out how to get Nero's performance off the ground. Otherwise, Chaldea will be 'destroyed'."

"……makes sense."

A few minutes later.

"Are you... serious? Pegasus."

"You...really wish I would do that."

"Yes." The man nodded. "Right now, you're the only one who can do this. No one else has the ability to do this."

“But I always feel that this is not a good thing.”

The Mecha Goddess said so.

"As a god, if I were to do this... I feel..."

"It's okay, Athena." Ian looked up at the giant mecha goddess. "Even in the past, gods had to consider what humans needed, right?"

"..."

"Forget it, whatever you say is what it is. Since one is your daughter and the other is your wife, as their elder sister, I have to help them at least."

As she said this, steam began to slowly emerge from behind Athena.

then……

His body began to emit a neon-like glow all over.

Yes.

That's why Athena resisted so much.

because--

Ian’s idea is to let this mecha goddess emit such light while becoming Nero’s “stage”!

"call……"

Seeing the light finally come on, Ian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Nero—”

"Go change your clothes!"

"Hmm! I understand!" Nero said so, and then took Mordred's hand, "Let's go--"

"Hey, what does this have to do with me?"

"If I say you have it, then you have it!"

"No! Hey!"

No matter how much Mordred called out, Nero never let go of her hand.

It seems that after Ian confirmed her identity as his "daughter", the Roman emperor had already regarded her as his "successor" - and a successor in every sense of the word.

This kind of opportunity to let others appreciate your fashion sense is naturally something you are unlikely to miss no matter what.

The scene suddenly became much quieter.

At this time, Da Vinci also spoke:

"All right."

"Since we're going to cooperate with Athena... then I'll go over and discuss it with her first—otherwise, there might really be a commotion later."

"Ah."

Ian nodded.

"please."

Suddenly, Ian's side became much quieter.

This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Sitting in a chair near the "performance venue", Ian thought about the information he had recently received.

Obviously.

Be it Mashu or Da Vinci, they both knew very little about Roman.

This person... although he looks very kind on the surface, he is actually much more mysterious than he imagined.

However, the possibility of it being an enemy should be very low.

After all, until now, Ian had never felt any hostility from him. On the contrary, he could only feel the other party's very kind feeling.

That is a scent that only friends can emit.

And if I really want to talk about it...

Ian always felt that he had seen Dr. Roman at some point, and there was even a possibility that he had had some conversation with him.

but……

When is it?

Ian fell into deep thought, thinking about the answer to this question.

This question may have been pondered for a long time, or it may have only occurred in a short while.

It was Olga Marie who pulled the man back from this vortex of thinking.

"Ian—"

"You, what are you doing sitting here alone?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ian looked up and saw Olga Marie walking over.

At this moment, her expression seemed a little surprised and a little unexpected.

If there was a surprise, it was naturally seeing Ian all alone at this time;

What she was looking forward to was an encounter like this - a chance to be alone with her beloved.

Unexpectedly, it was also at this time that Ian was seen alone.

This was the kind of encounter she feared.

When Ian is single, he is probably thinking about something.

"Director——"

"How did you come?"

"Hey, well..." Olga Marie brushed her hair and responded softly, "I actually come here all the time."

"..."

Although it was just a simple sentence, Ian understood Olga Marie's thoughts in an instant.

This is where Leif caused the explosion.

For Olga Marie, it is a place that bears witness to her own negligence and the consequences of over-trusting others.

Revisiting an old place not only keeps oneself alert, but also serves as a kind of nostalgia.

"I see." Ian, who understood all of this, naturally wouldn't bring up something irrelevant.

He patted the chair next to him and then spoke.

"Then Director, come and sit over here—"

"..."
