The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"She left earlier."

Ever since——

After Olga Marie's surprised "Ah?", Fujimaru Ritsuka was given the right to stay in Room 049 (Mordred did not need to report because he was a servant).

The originally quiet room suddenly became lively.

However, Mordred was not excited when he returned here, but became alert instead.

Because she knew that during the time she was taking care of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu was living with her father.

She rummaged through the drawers and boxes, as if trying to find some evidence.

As Morgan's biological daughter and Altria's adopted daughter, she wants to defend her father's physical innocence!

Ian was not nervous - because all the "evidence" had either been eaten by Matthew or hidden under her clothes.

No matter how hard Mordred looked, there was no trace of what he had done in this room.

But what the confident man didn't know was that a "secret" meeting was taking place.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was seen taking small steps like a crab, moving laterally to Mashu's side little by little.

She gently nudged the pink-haired girl next to her with her elbow, and then whispered:

"Matthew, I think it is necessary for us to stop fighting for a while."

"Stop, ceasefire?" Mashu turned around and looked a little puzzled.

"Yes."

Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded and his eyes fell on Mordred and Ian in front of him.

Mordred, who was tired of looking for evidence, just laid out on the bed with his tongue sticking out.

Ian touched her head with a smile in his eyes, looking very gentle.

"Don't you think... the relationship between Mordred and Ian is unusual?"

"It's more than just a simple Master and Servant, right?"

"Hey, this..."

After Fujimaru Ritsuka said this, Mashu realized that this seemed to be the case.

Although he usually called him "Master", Mordred's behavior had completely violated the contract.

Not only would she take Ian's hand actively, she would also often hug him without restraint.

This is indeed... not right!

Ritsuka Fujimaru put on a very serious expression as if he was going to fight.

"If this continues, perhaps Mordred will be the only one who can sleep next to Ian today."

"what?!"

If what happened before was just some fancy moves, Fujimaru Ritsuka's words at this moment were a blow that hit the vital point!

Is the opportunity to get close to seniors going to disappear?

No!

Absolutely not!

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

Mashu, who had previously been engaged in a "war for" power with Fujimaru Ritsuka in the restaurant, suddenly stood on the same front with her.

"Then...what should we do now?"

“We can only take necessary measures.”

Ritsuka Fujimaru acted like a commander, leaned close to the pink-haired girl's ear, and began to tell the story in detail.

"Mashu, my plan is this..."

"That's it, I understand."

A few minutes later.

After taking a bath, the girl sat on the bed.

Mordred looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and the cards in her hand, his expression somewhat puzzled.

"Ritsuka, you said you wanted to play a card game with me at this time?"

"This is not good... If the Master knew, he would think I am not doing my job properly!"

"No, no, no!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at Ian who was "restrained" by Mash on the other side, and waved his hand.

"He won't be angry."

"Because this time, there are three of us playing together."

"and--"

“This is not just a simple card game!”

"Ah?" Mordred scratched his face. "If it's not a card game, then what else could it be?"

“It’s a race for position.”

Ritsuka Fujimaru washed and cut the poker in his hand and explained to Mordred in front of him.

"Tonight, there are only two seats on the left and right of your Master, Ian, but there are three people here now."

"..."

Hearing this, Mordred suddenly came to his senses.

"Wait a moment!"

"Ritsuka, you mean... to decide who gets to sleep next to the Master tonight through a card game?!"

"Completely correct!"

There was a sly gleam in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes.

"You don't have to worry about not knowing how to play because the one we're playing this time is the same one we played in the ward before."

“Super easy!”

"..."

Mordred licked his lips and showed an interested expression.

The flames of battle burned in her eyes.

That's right.

This is something that should really be fought for.

Since my mother is not here──!

I will take her place by my father's side and protect her at all costs!

Watch, father!

I will definitely beat these two shameless bad women in the card game under your watchful eyes!

A few hours later.

"how so……"

Mordred looked at the paper with the score sheet and showed an expression of disbelief.

"I didn't win a single hand all night?!"

"How is this possible!"

"Maybe it's just bad luck~" Fujimaru Ritsuka shuffled the cards and then piled them into a stack.

"but--"

"It's over. I'm the first, Mash is the second, and you're the third, Mordred."

"Yes, yes, it's over."

Mashu followed Fujimaru Ritsuka's words and spoke.

However, her expression looked quite unnatural, even a little guilty, as if she was afraid of something.

Ian noticed this.

But he didn't say it, and chose to remain silent.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and looked at the man with a smile.

"The game is over."

"Ian, isn't it time for us to go to bed?"

"..."

Ian nodded.

"it is good."

The lights go out.

The room gradually became quiet.

Time passed slowly until late at night.

Fortunately, the beds provided by Chaldea for the masters are relatively large, so even if they are squeezed together like now, it is not completely impossible to sleep.

In bed, everyone looks a little different.

Mordred on the far right was sleeping soundly. She smacked her lips from time to time. She seemed to have a very good sleep quality and had completely forgotten the pain of losing the card game.

Ian closed his eyes and did not move, and he seemed to be asleep as well.

Only Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, who were on his left and right, were awake at this late hour.

Both of them took action at this time.

First up is Mashu on the left.

Her fingers, like a thief breaking into a house, moved slowly across the bed towards where Ian was.

bumped into.

The moment her hand touched Ian's, Matthew blushed - even though she knew he was sleeping.

I really like the feeling of holding hands with him.

On top of that, the feeling of having him touch my head is also pretty great.

and so--

In this late night, borrow his hand to recall.

It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Compared to Mashu's sneaky appearance, Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions are much bolder.

After all, after learning that Ian was single, her previous concerns completely disappeared.

He has no girlfriend;

I don’t have a boyfriend;

Isn't that a perfect match?!

Having a boyfriend who protects you like this is better than anything else.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't realize it.

Her behavior doesn't seem like she's looking for a boyfriend.

It would be more accurate to say that he was left with a psychological trauma due to the helicopter incident, and he urgently needed someone to accompany him who could guarantee that "no problem would occur as long as he was there."

but--

There is one thing that Fujimaru Ritsuka is very clear about.
