The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

It's panic.

It was the kind of panic that could not be concealed at all.

What is she worried about...

Could this really be happening?

Ophelia noticed this, but she suppressed her emotions and pretended nothing had happened.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Queen Scathach."

"Although……"

"You're a legendary hero, but you wouldn't point your Gae Bolg Alternative at a modern man, would you?"

"I think... that's behavior that would make me feel uneasy."

"At least, before you ask for help from others, you can show some kindness, right?"

"..."

Scathach was silent.

She looked as if she was thinking about Ophelia's words and evaluating her actions.

Soon, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom chose to follow the good advice.

She did indeed lower her Gae Bolg Alternative and briefly adopted a friendly stance.

"Well, you're right. I didn't think it through well."

"Ophelia, I'm here to apologize."

"..."

Ophelia didn't expect the other party to admit his mistake so cleanly.

However, this is a good thing that she has been looking forward to - after all, in this way, the communication between herself and the other party can be on a relatively "equal" level.

"It's okay, if you do that—"

Ophelia looked at the Gae Bolg Alternative that Scathach had placed aside.

"You must have your own considerations."

"In that case——"

Ophelia looked at both sides of the road, and the empty situation made her realize that Ian had indeed left.

"Queen Scathach." The girl used absolute respect. "Would you like to come in and rest for a while?"

"..."

Knowing that this was an "invitation" from the other party, Scathach smiled slightly and nodded.

"Right on my mind."

Ever since——

Just after seeing Ian off, Ophelia welcomed another guest.

To be honest, this was actually a bit flattering for her.

After all, in the past, no one would come to my room for a week - no one wants to communicate with a girl with a gloomy face and aggressive speech, right?

just now……

Instead, someone came to see him.

Ophelia was grateful for the little changes that Ian had brought to her and was happy about it.

"sit down."

Ophelia said so, and then called Scathach to sit down.

She herself went to deal with the things that she was supposed to prepare for Ian and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

only--

Just like Ian, Scathach quickly stopped her.

"No need to go to so much trouble."

"Ophelia, you should know that I am not here to drink tea or wine with you."

"That kind of thing should be removed from our conversation, shouldn't it?"

"Why are both of them like this..."

Ophelia lowered her voice, then sat back in her seat and answered politely.

"alright, I got it."

"But if that's the case..."

Ophelia changed her attitude quietly.

She asked cautiously, looking at the Gae Bolg Alternative that Scathach had placed next to her as a friendly gesture.

"Queen Scathach, shouldn't you explain your purpose a little?"

"No need to call me Queen Scathach."

"In Chaldea, we are all equals."

Scathach directly interrupted Ophelia's polite words that seemed to be a bit alienating.

"Call me Scathach, Ophelia, as I call you."

"..."

Ophelia nodded silently, then shifted her gaze from the Gae Bolg Alternative to Scathach.

Obviously, she still wanted to continue the previous topic in this polite way.

Of course, Scathach understood all this.

She spoke directly:

"Ophelia, do you know about my relationship with Ian?"

"Eh?"

Although she found the question a bit strange, Ophelia answered it without hesitation.

"It's 'Master' and 'Servant', right?"

"I am still clear about this."

however--

Ophelia quickly noticed that there was something wrong with Scathach's eyes.

That's right.

Her attitude meant that what she had just said was wrong.

"This……"

Ophelia was a little surprised.

After all, she knew very little about Scathach, and it could even be said that her knowledge of her came entirely from Celtic legends that had been passed down from an unknown era.

However, the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom seemed to fully understand this, or rather, she came to Ophelia with the intention of telling her everything.

"Just as you think, there is no true 'Master' and 'Servant' relationship between Ian and me."

"I won't die, so there's no possibility of me becoming a Servant."

"..."

Although she had expected this, Ophelia was still shocked when she heard Scathach confess the truth so frankly.

"Then you and him..."

"We are aware of each other's existence, we fully understand each other's existence, and we have lived together for decades."

"Can you understand what I mean?"

"..."

"Wait a moment!"

"You wait a minute!"

Ophelia barely managed to control her thoughts despite Scathach's words, which were filled with so much information that they were like a supernova explosion.

"So, according to you—"

"Ian, isn't it..."

"Ah."

Scathach nodded.

"As you think, and as you see, he is one with me. The years we've spent together are probably beyond your imagination and understanding, right?"

"Even I often wonder if I am the only one who has witnessed his complete life over these long years because of his unimaginable behavior."

"..."

Ophelia wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she found that she couldn't say a word.

If you think about it carefully, there are indeed many things that can support Scathach's words.

No.

It should be said that there is evidence everywhere.

Not to mention anything else, the unimaginable magic power released by Ian at the moment of fighting against the Bull of Sky is definitely not comparable to that of modern people.

Not to mention the legendary Athena, who would be extremely intimate and declare them as her "family";

The three Medusa sisters, who have become a strange legend, even used the nickname "Pegasus";

This also explains why I couldn't detect the magic circuit when we first met.

If……

If Ian had indeed lived an incredibly long life, then all this would be explained.

Because it is truly experienced, it leaves corresponding traces;

Because of the corresponding traces, I met different girls in different eras and had a tangled and growing fate.

Yes.

Scathach's words completely resolved the sense of disharmony that Ophelia had been feeling in her heart for a long time.

original……

He is such a person.

"Your eyes seem to be clearer, Ophelia."

Scathach said with a smile.

"This seems to be a very shocking thing for you."

"Isn't that natural?"

Ophelia's hands clenched into fists.

"Someone you know suddenly becomes a time traveler. No matter how you think about it, it's hard to accept that quickly, right?"

"But you didn't doubt me, did you?"

Scathach quickly grasped the attitude expressed in Ophelia's words and pointed it out directly.

"This shows that you actually had this feeling a long time ago."

"..."

Realizing that if she continued like this, Scathach would have complete control over the conversation, Ophelia quickly ended it all.

She didn't want to be led around by the other party like this.

"It's fine no matter how you look at it."
