The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

As if he saw through BB's thoughts, Marisbilly quickly continued.

"No doubt—"

"You're right." Marisbury pointed at himself with a smile on his face. "The real me is indeed dead."

"I am just the one who stayed and made a data backup in advance."

"..."

Ian felt a shock in his heart.

Then, he whispered to Mary:

"Ask—"

"What exactly happened with that death?"

Olga Marie didn't know why her father committed suicide. This was an eternal mystery in Chaldea and a constant pain in her heart.

If I could get some answers from him in front of me, I would probably understand the cause and effect logic of everything, right?

"..."

Instead of answering Ian, Mary took action directly.

And listening to the other party's words, Marisbury quickly responded.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that—"

"My backup time is not the moment of my death."

"So, even if I really want to answer you, I can't do it."

"..."

This is indeed the case.

It is impossible for people to know when they will die, and backups like this can only be made during one's lifetime.

But...why do this?

Before the man could figure out what was going on, Marisbilly spoke first.

"I said--"

"Could the third of you please stop hiding?"

"I think if there's anything, we should talk about it alone."

"..."

Ian never expected that his existence would be discovered by Marisbury.

only……

He could feel that the other party did not say this with malicious intent.

No.

It should be said that he seemed to want a chance to communicate with himself alone.

"Merry, is there any way to get my image in there?"

"Have."

The Flower Magician quickly gave an affirmative answer.

"only……"

"If that happens, I might have to disappear for a while."

"It's not easy to maintain a person in this kind of space."

"..."

"..."

"I understand." Mary completely understood what Ian meant. "I'll start now."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of "Magical Girl Mary" disappeared in the space, and was replaced by Ian.

"..."

"You actually figured it out, Marisbury. It's not easy..."

"That's natural."

Marisbilly smiled slightly, looking as if he didn't mind Ian's sudden appearance at all.

"If that's possible—"

"Can we talk alone?"

"..."

The answer was not surprising, and it could even be said that it had been predicted long ago.

Ian took a deep breath and nodded.

He didn't know why he had such trust in the other party, but...

Now is definitely the time to try.

"..."

"BB got it." The super AI girl said bluntly, "BB will be waiting for you outside—"

After BB said this, he looked at Marisbilly meaningfully and said it was very possible.

"If there's anything, just shout."

"BB...has always been here."

Obviously, this is a warning from BB - meaning that if you dare to do something, she will come in immediately.

only……

Faced with such a warning, Marisbury did not show much disgust, but still looked calm.

"Well, don't worry."

pat-

The door is closed.

Ian and Marisbilly were the only ones left in the director's office.

Just as the man was about to speak, Marisbilly spoke first.

"Ian Pendragon, long time no see."

"..."

Ian was a little surprised.

After all, from the beginning until now, only BB and Mary have introduced themselves. As the "third party", I haven't said a word.

"No surprise."

Marisbury stood up, walked towards Ian and patted him on the shoulder in a very friendly manner.

"I must know your name."

"Because it was my arrangement that you came to Chaldea."

"Or should I say...my original plan."

"Wha, what?"

Ian suddenly recalled his arrival in Chaldea.

Wait a moment……

seem……

is blank?

Although he is a time traveler... there is no specific information at all, only a vague impression.

"It's normal to be surprised."

Marisbilly looked straight at Ian in front of him.

"Because... that's just one of the 'possibility' that exists among the many you."

"..."

"What did you do, Marisbury?" Ian pushed the other person's hand away from his shoulder and continued, "If you want to have a good chat, you should show some sincerity, right?"

"That's indeed what happened."

Marisbilly touched his hand that Ian had pushed away and said with a smile.

This man never seems to feel sad or unhappy, as if his heart cannot be affected by anyone.

"So, have you ever thought about what your abilities are?"

"..."

"Don't doubt me with that look. I know what you're up to."

Marisbury still had a smiling face, which made people wonder if he looked like this before his death.

"so……"

"Are you going to expose my secrets?"

Ian asked.

"Do not."

Marisbury shook his head.

"I should have told this to Mary, but now that I've met you in person, it can be considered a kind of fate."

"Ian Pendragon."

"Do not."

Marisbury shook his head.

"I'd rather call you a visitor from outer space."

"That should be more suitable for our first meeting."

"..."

"Our first meeting..." Ian heard an unfamiliar event. "Have we met before?"

"Ah, if you mean the first time, you probably didn't recognize me."

Marisbilly said with a smile.

"After all, you had been sleeping in the Aegean Sea for who knows how long."

"Hmm—the gods in mythology are actually machines from outer space. It's really interesting to think about it."

"..."

Ian knew that this was referring to the existence of the name "Pegasus".

"How do you know all this?"

"Marisbury, you shouldn't understand these things—"

"According to common sense, that's true." Marisbury sat back in his chair, "But the problem is, everything I encountered was not common sense."

"what do you mean?"

Ian gave chase.

"Aren't you still keeping us in suspense?"

"That's not true." Marisberry shrugged. "Ian Pendragon, you should know that I have appeared in many eras and met many people. This journey eventually led me to Chaldea."

"Don't you think this is a blessing?"

"maybe."
