The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Some people, no matter how they are taught, find it difficult to understand what they should do.

Obviously.

Ian is the former, but Ritsuka Fujimaru is not.

This is not because the girl didn't try hard.

On the contrary, in order to perform well in front of Ian, Fujimaru Ritsuka changed his previous attitude and showed his utmost concentration.

But the result was far from what she had imagined.

After a few days, her learning progress was either stagnant or going in circles.

Ian saw it and was worried.

But he knew that he could only continue teaching her patiently - and absolutely not put pressure on her.

That would cause problems.

at night.

Ian, who had trouble falling asleep, woke up - he was still thinking about Fujimaru Ritsuka.

And at this moment, the man heard a sob.

He turned around and saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka had sat up, covering his mouth with his hands and sobbing.

"Ritsuka...what's wrong with you?"

"Eh?!"

The girl didn't expect Ian to wake up at this time.

She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and pushed the man next to her.

"What are you doing...go to sleep!"

"I'm going to take a shower!"

After saying this, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly got up and ran into the bathroom of room 016.

She closed the door, then stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself, and muttered to herself:

"Why am I so stupid?"

"I can't learn anything."

"Yeah, that's pretty stupid indeed."

The bathroom door was opened again, and Ian appeared there.

"but--"

"This is no reason to hide in the bathroom and cry."

"you……"

Looking at Ian who appeared at the door, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little at a loss.

"Didn't I say I wanted to take a shower?"

"Why did you come in again?!"

"I know you're taking a shower." Ian smiled as if he was in control.

“But I want to wash, too.”

"Wouldn't it save more time if we were together?"

"..."

Ritsuka Fujimaru did not refute Ian's words.

Or rather, she was so sad that she couldn't refute it anymore.

Warm mist filled the bathroom.

In front of the slightly damp mirror, Ian hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka and comforted her softly:

"You feel...uncomfortable, right?"

"...Hmm." Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed, "Ian, why can't I learn it?"

"Silly, it's just that the time is too short."

Ian stroked Fujimaru Ritsuka's already wet red hair.

"It's only been a few days. How can it be so easy to learn?"

"...Are you trying to comfort me?" the girl asked.

"I am indeed trying to comfort you." Ian did not hide his purpose, "but I am also telling the truth."

"I know you want to get stronger quickly."

"but--"

"Some things can't be rushed...you have to calm down."

"I believe you can do it, it's just a matter of time."

"Really?" The encouragement from Ian gave Fujimaru Ritsuka some confidence.

"of course it's true."

There was a hint of tenderness in the man's tone - that was his most sincere confession.

"You...are the one I chose as my savior partner. Have you forgotten all this?"

"You actually still remember this!"

"Of course I remember."

Ian smiled slightly and lowered his head to kiss the girl's soft lips.

"so--"

"Don't think too much about it now...just relax a little."

Naturally, Fujimaru Ritsuka would not resist what Ian said.

She also needs some time to forget things that are too painful.

however--

What the two didn't know was.

As they allowed each other to relax and get some relief from the pain, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Hey, why don't you lock the door?"

Olga Marie, who said this, appeared there!

252. The Director's Feelings/Resonance Outside the Bathroom/The Problem (4k)

Although she had voluntarily requested to be demoted to the position of the director's secretary, in reality, Olga Marie's workload did not decrease much.

Ultimately, she wanted to ensure that the huge organization left by her father could continue to operate.

of course.

It's not easy to do this.

At least... it's not easy right now.

Whenever she saw the death list filled with the names of her former colleagues, Olga Marie felt a pang of pain in her heart.

She regretted very much why she trusted Rafe so much and made such a terrible mistake.

However -

Although she regretted it, after being enlightened by Ian, Olga Marie realized that it was useless to just feel sorry for herself.

She had to find a way to make up for it all and fill the big hole she had dug.

Because of this, it was several days later when she, exhausted, learned that Fujimaru Ritsuka was learning magic from Ian.

Under such circumstances, Olga Marie went through a lot of trouble before she found Room 016 where the two of them were.

Even though it was already night.

But Olga Marie was too eager to find the two men to care about that - she didn't even notice who the room originally belonged to.

But something unexpected also happened at this time.

She was about to knock on the door, but found it was not locked.

"What are you doing... You don't even lock the door at night, aren't you afraid of something happening?"

Olga Marie had just made such a complaint when she realized something.

like……

There's no way anything could go wrong.

At this moment, the only people left in the world are the people of Chaldea.

With a shortage of staff now, let alone unlocking the door, it would be impossible for anyone else to come here even if the door was wide open.

Thinking of this, Olga Marie couldn't help but feel a little sad.

But the director realized that this was not going to work, so he shook his head and threw away all his previous thoughts.

"excuse me."

She gently pushed the door open and walked into room 016.

She knew this was Ophelia's room—but she had fallen into a deep sleep that she didn't know when it would end.

But what Olga Marie didn't expect was.

At this moment, there was no one in the room.

Instead, the light was on in the bathroom, and there were bursts of noises coming out that sounded a little strange.

So familiar——

Olga Marie closed her eyes and listened carefully to the sound coming from the bathroom.

and many more!

this is not……

It's not just at that time...

The girl wasn't just speaking casually.

It was because she had personally experienced things similar to the current situation - for example, when she helped test the props in front of Ian.

It occurred to me that Ian didn't live here alone.

Olga Marie suddenly realized something.

She opened her eyes and tiptoed to the bathroom door.

The bathroom door of Chaldea is not designed to completely separate the inside and the outside, but is frosted glass that allows a vague glimpse of the inside.

and so--

Even from outside, Olga Marie could vaguely see some of the scenes in the bathroom.

The door was wet.

This means someone must be taking a shower in there.

But that didn't make much sense - after all, just seeing the lights on could confirm this as well.

The truly crucial information is the image projected on the frosted glass.

What is this doing...

Olga Marie blushed as she watched these scenes.

But she soon discovered that although she felt this situation was extremely shameful, her body was unable to move forward.

She inched forward until her ear was pressed against the bathroom door.
