The Clock Tower Inspection Team

The day after the Grand Order ends.

The sun rose overhead as usual, marking the start of a new day.

Normally, after each Singularity repair is completed, there is a short break and some minor incidents occur.

But Ritsuka got up very early today and didn't have a moment to rest, let alone time for a vacation.

Because a new job came along.

That was to deal with the inspection team coming from the Clock Tower.

Now that the Humanity Incineration has ended and the world has returned to normal, gaps and troubles are on the horizon. As the only ones who know the whole story, Chaldea should report everything and is highly valued by the ambitious members of the Mage's Association.

The first expedition team sent was naturally from the Clock Tower. According to the notification, they would arrive at the snow mountain helipad of Chaldea around noon and then begin their investigation.

Logically speaking, Chaldea should not be able to withstand an investigation by the Mage's Association.

In order to restore Human Order, Chaldea had to resort to many emergency measures, such as: using Rayshift and the Heroic Spirit Summoning System without permission; handling the tragic case in which two hundred elite scientists died due to negligence in supervision; freezing the accounts of forty-nine Magecraft geniuses selected from all over the world; and cutting off the reasons for various families and factions to get a share of the spoils.

And because Lev has become Flauros, Chaldea has to take the blame and will find it difficult to shake off the suspicion.

The above are relatively minor issues. The biggest problem is that the explosion at Chaldea severed the tentacles of all the Lord factions and Magus families. In addition, the deaths of the two heads of the Department of Astromancy Lord left them completely without support. As a result, only Chaldea can claim the credit for saving the world, while the other Magecraft families will not get any benefit. Therefore, they believe that this is very likely a self-directed act by Chaldea, and they are preparing to use it to attack Chaldea.

Although Rovey told her to continue eating and drinking as usual and not to worry about such trivial matters, he would handle everything. Moreover, Ritsuka Fujimaru would still receive her due recognition and rewards, and might even be given a prestigious Grand Rank such as "[Orange of Salvation]".

However, Ritsuka only took Rovey's words as a joke. After all, she knew about the title of Grand Rank. Even in the entire history of the Mage's Association, very few people could achieve it. How could a third-rate Magus like her, who only knew the simplest Magecraft, be worthy of the title of Grand Rank?

Only senior Rovey deserves that title.

However, Ritsuka suddenly remembered that Senior Rovey seemed to be a legitimate Magus of the Mage's Association as well. So what was his rank?

He must have been a figure of great importance, comparable to those Lords, right?

Although this was Ritsuka's best imagination, if Rovey knew that Gudako was placing him on the same level as those insects, he still couldn't help but laugh. Now, he should at least be comparing himself to someone of exceptional caliber, like Aoko Aozaki, the Jewel Magician, or the Clock Tower Dean.

Moreover, there are things that are even more shocking to Chaldea today than these.

Just last night, while everyone was holding a victory celebration banquet outside, Pharaoh Rameses II of Egypt, seeing that the table wasn't big enough and that holding a victory celebration in such a place was too meager, directly made a pact with Rovey while drunk. He then used Lovi's magic to create a complex of buildings next to Chaldea that could cover more than a dozen Chaldea. This caused the surrounding snow-capped mountains to turn into desert, just like in the Sixth Singularity, and about three kilometers of land to revert to the Age of Gods. This also resulted in the surrounding snow-capped mountains being covered and many large holes being punched into them.

Later, because she wanted to drink all night with Rovey inside the pyramid, she got into an argument with Artoria was planning to take Rovey back to her dormitory to rest.

One arrogantly declared, "How could such a shabby dorm be worthy of Yu and my best friend?! Tonight, Yu and my best friend are going to have a long talk and drinks all night long, and women shouldn't get in the way!"

The other two Artoria told him to stay out of the way, that he was the one who was out of place, and so things developed from there.

Rameses II vs. The Lion King, Artoria's situation.

Inside the pyramid Rameses II, fueled by alcohol and a buff, fought Artoria to a standstill. Later, he even activated the pyramid's defense mechanism, suppressing the two Holy Lance Goddesses who weren't using their full strength.

Because they were so enraged, the two goddesses behind them, each wielding Holy Lance, even erected the Tower of the End and fired wildly at the pyramid's solemn defenses. The scene was more spectacular than a fireworks display.

Then came the after-dinner performance: the Knights of the Round Table versus the Sphinx Beast team.

In the end, it was thanks to Rovey saying that he had to go and set up some things and wouldn't sleep that night, and that he sneaked away, that the situation calmed down.

As a result, Chaldea appeared in just one night.

To the east is a cluster of pyramid structures.

Two Tower of the End of the road on the west side.

A group of Sphinx, carrying snow blocks from elsewhere, are filling the snow-covered mountain.

And the King's Cannon, which Rovey had meticulously arranged last night, are scattered around Chaldea.

And then--

Holy Lance God.

Several Servant.

Many Holy Grail.

There was also a great deal of classified information about the Clock Tower that Holmes brought back from the Fourth Singularity.

And Rovey, this visitor from another world...

Any one of these things, taken out of context, could cause a huge uproar in the mystical world, attracting countless eyes and covetous eyes, and even the greedy to the point of silencing them.

However, by sheer coincidence, these things were all gathered together by Chaldea.

Roman also wanted to say, "Everyone, relax. We at Chaldea haven't broken any rules or done anything wrong. Don't be nervous."

But even seeing so many shocking scenes, he was still sweating profusely.

Even knowing that the Clock Tower's expedition team would be arriving soon, Rovey was still using the Rayshift System to try to synchronize the Heroic Spirit Summoning with the timeline of the Seventh Singularity, completely disregarding the Magus from the Clock Tower.

Roman had initially wanted to hide it, but he directly rejected that idea.

Rovey's meaning was very clear—what are you worried about with a bunch of Clock Tower idiots? Are they more terrifying than Goetia? If they really want to cause trouble, then let those idiots come to me, or I will personally go and have a chat with the Dean of this world and Barthomeloi.

These words left Roman completely speechless.

He could tell, of course, that Rovey was serious. He didn't take the Clock Tower or the Mage's Association seriously at all. If he really angered Lowe, this guy might actually go and visit the Clock Tower.

At this point, Roman's concern was no longer Chaldea; he only hoped that the Clock Tower wouldn't provoke Rovey, the one who had dealt with the two Beast of Calamity, otherwise things would get very difficult to handle.

More importantly, he heard that members of the Church would accompany him on the visit in the following days.

It's important to know that Jeanne of Arc, Saint George, and Martha all consider Rovey to be the Savior's representative. Although Rovey says he has severed ties with his adoptive father, these Saint-lineage Servant still believe it's just a trial.

Therefore, it's possible that Rovey might actually represent that person's will. If the church finds out, it will be a very troublesome matter.

It might even involve religious issues.

However, when Roman was having a headache, there were still people who came to his aid.

"Alright, Romani, the first group of explorers must have been a bunch of incompetent fools with no vision. Just put away the more conspicuous things, and things won't get any worse."

Da Vinci smiled and said to Roman.

"I hope so."

Finally, Roman could only rub his forehead and agree.

"I'll go and ask Rameses II and Miss Artoria to put away their Noble Phantasm right now. Holmes is also in the archives organizing the data about the Mage's Association."

Roman then went around asking people for help.

Although Rovey felt it was unnecessary and that these guys were worrying too much, he only fired some King's Cannon because he was worried that the Alien God might suddenly attack Chaldea, so he left some defensive measures.

Although Gilgamesh had few genuine artifacts left in the Babylonian treasury, he quickly devised a new method after some adjustments.

The principle behind the King's Cannon is simply the Broken Phantasm. It's a way to unleash powerful energy by destroying treasures. Since the ammunition is empty, we just need to find a way to replenish it.

The most correct way to make up for it is naturally to collect the treasures again, but Rovey doesn't have the Golden Rule, and the difference in quantity cannot be solved by the Golden Rule. Unless thousands of Gilgamesh together, or several divine realms are bundled together, it is impossible to make up for it. So he thought of the method of re-manufacturing.

When asked about methods for creating Noble Phantasm out of thin air in the Type-Moon World, Rovey immediately thought of the Marble Phantasm. This method could recreate the exact same Noble Phantasm, making it the fastest and most effective. However, unfortunately, apart from the Moon Cell and the White Princess, only one of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors possessed this ability. Not only could he not find them now, but even if he did, they might not obediently help him. They were all troublesome individuals.

So he quickly came up with another way to manufacture ammunition.

Last night, Emiya, who had cooked hundreds of dishes and was almost completely exhausted, was about to pack up and return to the Throne of Heroes Emiya Heroic Spirit was captured by Rovey, who then gave him the perfect task: to continuously produce counterfeit Noble Phantasm.

Rovey's solution was to refill the treasury with fakes and then fill the King's Cannon with them.

If we really can't get one, then a fake one will do, won't it?

Although its power is a bit weak, the good thing is that it's free, and it's a continuous source of energy without causing any financial strain, so its battery life is an advantage.

So last night, after Rovey reasoned with him and appealed to his emotions, he and Red Archer spent almost the entire night in Unlimited Blade Works Red Archer. They couldn't find Rameses II, or the Artoria. It wasn't until this morning that they emerged looking refreshed, with Archer having filled almost a third of the treasure vault and looking completely drained.

Red Archer now wants to return to the Throne of Heroes. Compared to being a heartless cooking robot and Noble Phantasm, he suddenly feels that working for Alaya isn't so bad, since neither side treats him like a human being.

However, Rovey would certainly not allow him to leave like that. The treasury was only one-third full, and he would have to wait until it was full before he could play around like Gilgamesh. Although everything inside was a fake and should have disappeared quickly, he had taken a Holy Grail from Chaldea and used it as a source of magical energy to maintain all the Noble Phantasm for a long time. So as long as he didn't leave the treasury, he would be fine.

Although he can also use Projection Magecraft, his speed is too slow compared to Unlimited Blade Works, so Red Archer needs to work harder.

Upon hearing Roman's request, he immediately cast an illusion spell on the outer pyramids, the Tower of the End, and dozens of cannons. Unless one uses the Mystic Eyes to specifically investigate, no flaws will be visible.

That should be about right.

As for putting it away? That would take too much time. I spent so much effort setting it up last night, how could I put it away because of something like this?

After doing all this, he prepared to go back and continue working with Da Vinci to create the physical bodies for the gods.

Just as he was about to visit the unscrupulous merchant's workshop, he encountered Nitocris, or rather, she happened to be there.

Pushing open the door, a familiar figure appeared before me.

"Rovey Lovi!"

Upon seeing Rovey arrive, Nitocris was like a child seeing a cherished possession; she rose from the seat Da Vinci had arranged for her, her face beaming with joy.

Immediately afterwards, the white-haired beauty ran happily to Rovey's side and hugged Rovey arm like a child, rubbing against him.

Without realizing it, she also squeezed Rovey's arm between her two soft, snow-white breasts.

"Rovey Lowe, where have you been all this time? I haven't been able to find you."

She asked, somewhat reproachfully.

"I'm just going to finish some work, what's the matter... Hmm? Your body isn't in Servant form anymore?"

Just as he was about to casually answer Nitocris's question, Rovey immediately realized something was wrong when he felt the sensation coming from his arm.

He stared at Nitocris's face with some curiosity, then reached out and pinched her ear, which instantly turned red.

"So you did find it, Rovey Lowe."

Upon seeing that Rovey had spotted her immediately, Nitocris smiled and explained, "It was Lady Da Vinci who made this body for me. She said she wanted to test a template for Divine Spirit Possession, and it would also give me a body. That way, I won't need you to constantly supply me with magic, and I can stay by your side with a human body."

As she spoke, an uncontainable joy shone on her face.

Although no one would say anything, Nitocris couldn't help but feel a little lost when she thought that Artoria and the others were all physical beings while she was just Servant. She was an extremely sensitive person, and she wanted to be by the side of Rovey in the same way. That's why she sought out Da Vinci when she heard that he could create human bodies for gods to possess, and hoped that he could make one for her as well.

"Oh, I see..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Rovey immediately understood.

He was a little surprised that Nitocris had suddenly Incarnation, since there is a fundamental difference between a human body and Servant's body, which he could see at a glance.

"How about it?"

"How about what?"

Nitocris asked somewhat nervously, "Will Lord Rovey still like me like this?"

"You..."

Hearing this question, Rovey helplessly patted her head, immediately understanding Nitocris's thoughts, and said gently, "How could I possibly dislike you just because you changed forms? I'll love you no matter which form you're in; we're lovers."

"Um."

Upon hearing this answer, Nitocris immediately perked up her ears and nodded happily. Then, as if relieved, she said softly, "I've been looking for you since last night, but I haven't been able to find you. And we haven't done what lovers do for so long; I was worried that you might be getting tired of me..."

"Huh? Um... what are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Rovey was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh. He understood what had happened, and could only gently hug her, whispering, "How could I possibly dislike you? Nitocris is so smart and capable, I like her more than anything. I'm sorry, because so much has happened lately, I've neglected everyone and didn't even notice your feelings, it's my fault... But please rest assured, I will never dislike you, I promise."

"Um."

Nitocris felt a warmth in her heart, then nodded gently, a smile appearing on her face.

Seeing Nitocris smile, Rovey breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he realized that he had been so engrossed in his work that he had neglected the person in front of him.

He thought to himself, "I should talk to Lily and the others about it later. I really went too far these past few days."

Just as Rovey was about to ask Nitocris what Artoria was doing in this era, the owner of the workshop happened to return.

Before Da Vinci even entered the room, he said to Nitocris:

"How are things, Miss Nitocris? Any adverse reactions to your new body, hmm?"

She was halfway through her sentence when she saw Rovey standing with Nitocris, and a smile appeared on her face.

"You two... you're so affectionate! Showing off your love in broad daylight? But even if you're very affectionate, don't rush things. Nitocris has only just started using a normal human body; too much strenuous exercise would be bad for her~"

As she spoke, she gave a teasing look.

"--?!"

When Da Vinci teased her like that, Nitocris's face suddenly turned red, and it seemed as if a thick layer of steam was rising from her head.

Upon seeing this, Da Vinci smiled even more broadly.

However, she wasn't lying. At this time, Nitocris had just switched bodies, and their wavelengths weren't fully aligned, so they naturally couldn't do what lovers usually do, otherwise, something unexpected might really happen.
