"It's okay... I'm used to it."

“Then I’ll try it next time!”

The night spent together by the three of them was actually not as awkward as imagined.

The next day.

After what happened last night, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu completely opened their hearts to each other.

Mash soon found out that her Master wanted to learn magic.

"Hey." The pink-haired girl blinked her beautiful purple eyes.

"Ritsuka...are you planning on learning magic from your senior?"

"Yes!" Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded very seriously.

"Like I said before... I don't want to be a drag on the team anymore!"

"Well... you did say that."

Mashu recalled the past events in the singularity.

A bit of determination gradually appeared in her eyes.

"That--"

"In that case, Ritsuka, is there anything I can do to help you and Senpai?"

"If you ask that..."

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had just changed his clothes, looked at Ian standing beside him.

To be honest, she really didn't know what to do next.

The girl simply felt that it was her responsibility and started her actions directly.

Fortunately, Ritsuka Fujimaru is not alone.

Her mind wasn't clear, but that wasn't the case with Ian.

"Mashu, I do need your help with something."

Matthew was not a vague person. When she heard Ian say this, she immediately responded.

"Senior, what is it?"

"Oh... don't be too nervous."

The man gently stroked Mashu's head.

The more he looked at this kind of sensible girl, the more he liked her.

"Next, I might have to spend some time alone with Ritsuka."

"As for Xiao Mo, can you please accompany her for me?"

"Xiao, Xiao Mo?"

The corners of Mashu's mouth rose slightly.

Ian noticed this quickly.

"Hmm...what's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"No, no!" Mashu quickly waved her hand to deny it.

"It's just that I just happened to tell her that I wanted to be friends... I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to get to know her better so soon!"

"is it?"

Hearing this, Ian also became happy.

He was actually quite worried that his daughter Mordred would dislike these girlfriends - but if they could become close friends, the situation would be different.

"That means it was destined for you to become friends."

"Yeah~" Mashu smiled sweetly, "I think so too!"

"Then work hard." The man continued to encourage.

"I will!"

After making these arrangements, Mash temporarily left the two of them and went to the room where Mordred was.

She was very happy to do such a thing and even planned how to take care of the other person later.

This is not flattering.

But -

Mash sincerely wanted to be friends with Mordred.

Meanwhile, Ian was not idle either.

After arranging things for Mashu and Mordred, he grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.

"Ritsuka, let's go."

"Leave?" The red-haired girl seemed a little confused. "Where to?"

"Of course it is——"

The man turned around and looked at her behind him.

"Let's go to a place where we can learn magic."

Ten minutes later.

Ian and Fujimaru Ritsuka came to the door of a room.

"0...1...6..."

The girl read out the numbers on the house number.

But that didn't help her understand the situation.

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the man next to him, his eyes full of confusion.

"Where...is this?"

"..."

Looking at the extremely familiar doorplate, Ian's thoughts suddenly returned to the past.

Room 016 is not a stranger's room.

Its owner is Ophelia.

But at this moment, she has fallen into a deep sleep because of the explosion, and she doesn't know when she will wake up.

Ian couldn't help feeling a little sad.

His relationship with her did start out dirty, but it was more than just dirty.

The man's reaction was also seen by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

She asked:

"So Ian...what's going on here?"

"nothing."

Ian took a deep breath and threw away all the thoughts he had just had.

"Let's go in."

Although Ophelia no longer lives here, the room is still kept clean.

Ian couldn't help but admire Olga Marie's ability to manage Chaldea.

Even now when the number of staff has been drastically reduced, she is still trying her best to maintain the last dignity of the organization.

but--

Ian just sighed for a short while and then shifted his attention away from it.

The most urgent task is to meet Ritsuka Fujimaru's learning needs.

"Ritsuka."

"Come and help me move some stuff."

"Oh, okay~"

According to his memory, Ian and Fujimaru Ritsuka started to organize the things in the room together.

I don’t know whether to say it’s lucky or unlucky.

Because the explosion happened so suddenly, the furnishings in the room remained the same as before Ophelia left.

Ian quickly found the things she had used to teach him.

He was somewhat relieved:

“They’re all still here… That’s great.”

"Wha, what?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused.

Or rather, she was completely confused from the moment she came in.

"What did you find?"

"I'll teach you how to learn magic."

"Eh——?!" Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up.

"let me see!"

The red-haired girl said this, and then took the book that the man had just opened from his hands into her own.

however--

After watching for a while, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a puzzled expression.

She pointed at the contents of the book and said with a slightly aggrieved tone:

"What is written on it?"

"..."

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Ian still felt a headache when he faced Fujimaru Ritsuka's weak "skills".

It was just like when I first came to Chaldea in a daze.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also confused about how to learn and use magic.

She seemed to remember only superficial details.

If I encounter something a little more complicated, I will not understand it at all.

but--

Ian understood this, too.

He held Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand and said:

"fine."

"Little by little... you will definitely learn how to use magic."

"..."

Ian's words are Fujimaru Ritsuka's greatest courage.

She nodded and responded to the man's comfort: "Yeah!"

So the two of them stayed in Ophelia's room.

however--

The actual situation was more complicated than Ian had imagined.

Learning magic is something that requires a lot of talent.

Some people can master it just by looking at it without being taught.
