"That……"

"Then I still can't agree to it."

Ophelia said cautiously.

"Scathach, I think this kind of thing, for me, actually..."

"I'll allow you to share Ian with me once this is done."

Scathach suddenly said this, interrupting Ophelia's speech.

The latter was stunned for a moment before realizing what kind of concession the legendary hero had just made.

"No, I'm not, this..."

"Don't think I don't know."

Scathach looked directly at Ophelia in front of her, and the wisdom of the magic world was fully demonstrated at this moment.

"You and Ian, privately, have a shameful relationship, right?"

"Even this room—"

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows swept her eyes across Ophelia's room from left to right, as if she saw through everything.

"This is also your 'secret base', right?"

"..."

Ophelia felt her heart beating rapidly.

That's right.

Although Scathach is a loner, she doesn't have many close friends in Chaldea and can even be described as a "loner."

but!

There is no way to change the fact that she is smart.

"So...are you using Ian as a 'chip'? Scathach."

"It's not a bargaining chip, but something that must be taken back."

"Ophelia."

Scathach stretched out her hand to the right, and the Gae Bolg Alternative, like a piece of iron and stone that had sensed magnetism, spun back into her hand.

"If you feel that this kind of bargaining chip is not enough to move your heart——"

"So……"

Scathach extended the Gae Bolg Alternative in her hand forward.

"If you succeed, I'll give you a gun like this, how about that?"

"..."

If sharing Ian with Scathach earlier was a statement of "great temptation, but almost zero execution", then this will run through the Gae Bolg Alternative and it will hit Ophelia's heart directly.

This is...

The real thing, something from legend.

Now, you want to give it to me?

"..."

Ophelia's throat moved slightly.

"Scathach, are you serious?"

"Are you really going to give me the Gae Bolg Alternative?"

"As long as you can win, I will definitely give it to you."

Scathach said without hesitation.

"I, as the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, swear an oath and will never break my promise."

"..."

Ophelia took a deep breath.

She felt that her brain had gradually regained its clear cognition.

That's right.

Even without Scathach's "invitation", he would have to get involved in that matter.

Secretary election...

Can't lose.

If he loses, his position in Chaldea will be in jeopardy.

"I see."

Ophelia held out her hand.

"Scathach, please let me be your most loyal and trustworthy partner."

"..."

"Ah."

Scathach nodded, and then held Ophelia's hand as if taking an oath.

"I hope you will do what you say."

at the same time--

Ian didn't know that Ophelia and Scathach had reached such an unknown "contract".

He just wanted to find BB and clarify something.

Three steps.

Ten steps.

The man's footsteps echoed clearly in the passage of Chaldea, like an unwavering machine.

but--

When he came to the management office where BB was (actually it was Mary's room, but now it has been renovated by her), he saw an unexpected person.

That's Helena.

She was talking about something with BB.

"..."

Ian didn't say anything at first, but listened silently to the conversation between the two.

Occasionally--

There are times when he wants to listen to their thoughts like this.

However, it seemed that he came at the wrong time, as the conversation between the two seemed to have come to an end.

"BB, do you think this is reasonable?"

"It's hard to say...it definitely feels a little off."

"what are you guys saying?"

A man's voice suddenly rang out, startling BB and Helena who were talking.

"Pig!"

The Super AI Girl stomped her foot.

"Don't come out so suddenly, it'll scare people to death!"

"Sorry sorry."

Ian apologized as he came up to the two of them.

"But what were you talking about?"

"..."

Ian's "questioning" made BB and Helena look at each other, and then both of them nodded.

This time, it was Helena who spoke first as a representative.

"Ian."

"This singularity should be very difficult to repair, right?"

"..."

"Yeah." Ian didn't try to cover it up lightly, because he knew that if Helena asked him this, something must have happened.

“It’s really difficult.”

"Honestly speaking, if there weren't enough coincidences this time, I don't think we would have been able to come back alive from Tiamat."

This is indeed true—

If Tiamat did not still have a trace of kindness in her heart and had not yet had enough attachment to Uruk.

So……

When the sea of life floods up, everything is doomed to end in destruction.

"That……"

"What about the singularity before this?"

"It's also difficult, right?"

"..."

Knowing that Helena was referring to the singularity of the holy city of Jerusalem where all the Knights of the Round Table of Britain were present, Ian nodded.

"Ah."

"Indeed it is."

"That's right."

Helena cleared her throat and then spoke in a tone worthy of her status:

"Ian."

"The singularity may be shrinking."

"shrink?"

"That's right!" Helena nodded, and then took out a small board that she might have brought with her, and started analyzing it as if she was giving a lecture.

There was already a map on it, and it seemed that the locations of various singularities were marked.

"I don't know what happened the previous times."

"but--"

Helena picked up a small stick and started "pointing" at it.

"Following the 'United Kingdom' we encountered, then the 'Holy City of Jerusalem', and now 'Uruk'."

"Their strength is increasing again and again—"

"And you said before that the birth of the singularity was caused by something like the Holy Grail, which is filled with magical power."

"So... something is affecting the Holy Grail."

"..."

Ian is not dull. It can even be said that after experiencing so many things, no one understands the changes in the singularity better than him.

"Are you trying to say that the repaired singularity didn't disappear, but merged into somewhere else?"

"You can't say that."
