The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

The weather is pretty good today, and there are no clouds in the sky over Oceanus.

"Did someone bring down such a thing?"

"..."

"..."

【This is the fact you thought about but didn’t say. 】

【It’s actually not that hard to understand. 】

[It is absolutely impossible for such a huge machine to fall from such a height for no reason.]

【But--】

[If we really have the ability to bring down such a huge machine...]

【What kind of existence would that be? 】

[You can no longer think of the answer. ]

[You know that Stheno and Euryale must also want this. ]

[It's just that you tacitly agreed not to delve into this matter. ]

"It seems that we have encountered something extraordinary this time." Stheno ended the speculation as if jokingly.

"Anyway, let me study this for a while longer."

"It has just been salvaged, so we can't jump to conclusions right away."

"Yes." Yurielle also nodded. "Maybe our guess is wrong. There should be many ways to cause that kind of damage."

In response to the two sisters' words, Ian didn't say anything more.

after all--

Even if he understood this, there was actually no better solution.

I am just a mortal and I don't have the power to change the situation.

"I understand, my two masters." Ian responded calmly, "Then I will go and see what's going on with Master Medusa."

"Okay./Yeah."

After the two nodded, Ian turned and walked towards where Medusa was.

Looking at Ian's back, Stheno and Euryale both looked a little uncomfortable.

They knew that his mind had always been on Medusa.

[Unlike Stheno who made the fishing net and Euryale who gathered the people, Medusa did not have such powerful means as her two sisters. ]

【so--】

[Her approach was to lead by example.]

[Medusa, who was at the front of the team, naturally became one of the people who directly witnessed the true appearance of the huge machine. ]

[However, this seems to have had some impact on her. ]

"Medusa."

Hearing the familiar voice, the girl quickly turned around and saw the man she cared about.

"Pegasus, you are here."

"Yeah." Ian nodded and walked to her side.

The two of them observed the huge machine closely in the darkness cast by the sunlight.

"This thing is much bigger than it looked to us back then..."

Ian wasn't kidding.

Compared to the previous situation of watching it fall into the Oceanus Sea from the horizon, the shock brought by this close-up visual experience is indeed much greater.

"Yes, it is……"

Medusa covered her chest with her hands, and her beautiful purple eyes revealed a hint of worry.

Ian quickly noticed her change in mood.

He did not hesitate and asked directly:

"Medusa, what's wrong with you?"

"Your expression... looks a little off."

"..."

Perhaps knowing that the man next to her was worthy of her confession, Medusa only hesitated for a short while before she responded directly:

"that--"

"Pegasus... I seemed to be illuminated by the light of this machine just now."

"what?!"

【This is a very remarkable thing.】

[You know, neither Stheno nor Euryale has figured out what this machine is. ]

[And in this case──]

【Medusa felt like she was being illuminated by this machine.】

[This is obviously not a good thing.]

You know you have to do something.

"Then I'll go tell your sister right now!"

After saying this, Ian, who had just arrived here, wanted to leave Medusa, then return to her two sisters and explain everything that was happening now.

But before he could take two steps, he felt his hand being grabbed.

The man looked back and saw Medusa, with a blushing face, pulling him, with the word nervous written all over her face.

After noticing that the other person turned around, the shy girl immediately let go of her hand and expressed her inner thoughts:

"Um, Pegasus, can you please not tell my sisters yet?"

"why?"

Ian looked at the girl in confusion.

"Shouldn't we tell them about this kind of thing as soon as possible?"

"This is... radiation from an unknown machine, right?"

"I know." Medusa touched her forehead. It looked like that was the place that was irradiated by the machine.

“But I don’t feel anything is wrong now.”

"and--"

Medusa looked towards where Stheno and Euryale were.

Her two sisters started chatting again at this moment, and it seemed that they were discussing something related to the machine.

"I can't help at all, but now I have to add to this mess. It will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to my sisters."

"..."

【You completely understand Medusa's thoughts. 】

[As the third sister of the Gorgon, she was born slightly different from her sisters.]

[They have "demon bodies" and are more powerful than Medusa. 】

[Although on weekdays, neither Stheno nor Euryale would ever mention this difference - they still love their sister very much.]

[But Medusa, who is sensitive at heart, is particularly concerned about this kind of thing. ]

[But she also didn't want her sisters to worry about this. ]

【So——】

[The situation then evolved into a cycle of "they never mentioned it because they didn't want her to worry" and "she pretended not to know about it so as not to make them worry" . ]

【As a bystander, you understand this clearly. 】

[But there's nothing wrong with this - it's better to be considerate of each other than to hate each other. ]

"I understand."

Ian relented.

"Then don't tell them yet."

"but--"

"Medusa, you have to promise me something."

"Promise you something?" Medusa looked at the man beside her, her tone becoming more and more nervous.

"What's up?

"That means you must not leave my sight for the next few days. If there is any problem, I will not be able to keep my promise to you. I must tell them immediately."

"Eh……"

Hearing this, Medusa felt a warm feeling in her heart.

She knew that this was a compromise from him, but also a sign of his concern.

"okay, I get it."

[For the next few days, your attention is completely focused on Medusa.]

[But just as she said, the light emitted by the huge machine did not affect anything.]

[Medusa's life is still the same as before - except that her sisters are working together to study the huge machine.]

[You feel a little relieved, but also a little scared. ]

【after all--】

[If something really happened to Medusa, it might be too late to tell her sisters by then.]

[“I must not do this again next time”—you warn yourself in your heart.]

[Different from your worries, what Medusa cares about is your care during this period of time. ]

In Medusa's room.

"Thank you, Pegasus." The girl on the bed expressed her gratitude to the man who had been with her all the time these days.

"I didn't expect your care would go to this extent."

"This is what I should do as a servant," Ian replied quickly.

"No." Medusa shook her head. "If you are just a servant, you can just watch from a distance. You are obviously more meticulous than this, aren't you?"

"I am... very touched."

After saying this, Medusa lowered her head.

It can be seen that it is a little bit difficult for her to make such remarks.

Fortunately, Ian is not a slow person.

He felt that the girl mustered up the courage to say these words to him.

"Well, because I care about Medusa a lot, I'm especially worried that something might happen, so I'm doing it more seriously than usual."

"Eh?"

Hearing this, Medusa raised her head and looked at him with a little disbelief.

This is... the first time he said this.

"That--"

"I have to do something too... Pegasus, can you come sit over here?"

"it is good."
