Time to Roll for Gacha (Continued)
He just doesn't know when this will all be resolved; he really wants to retire now.
"Hello, Director Roman."
Just as Dr. Roman was lost in thought, a melodious female voice suddenly rang out.
Soon, a purple-haired girl wearing a purple beret and Tesla outfit appeared at the door of the command room.
At this moment, Dr. Roman and the portly director are dealing with the pile of official business on the table.
Dr. Roman heard the sound and raised his head. He looked towards the door and saw a lovely purple-haired girl. Judging from her clothes, Dr. Roman knew that she Magus from the Atlas Institute.
Although the other person looked very young and lacked the obsessiveness and world-weariness often associated with mad scientists, the well-informed Dr. Roman did not underestimate her. Instead, he stood up and formally greeted her, then gently inquired:
"Looks like you're Magus sent by Tesla Academy, right? What are you doing here? Didn't you go to the accommodations I arranged for you? Or... are you lost?"
It was so late, and Dr. Roman couldn't understand why the other person was here.
The command center and the dormitory are quite a distance apart; it's impossible to go to the wrong place.
Moreover, the plan for today was to let them rest first, and only after the head of Tesla Institute arrived could the crucial demolition plan begin.
So he didn't understand why this purple-haired girl was here.
"I'm not lost, I came here specifically to find you, Dr. Roman."
Upon hearing Dr. Roman's words, the seemingly intellectual and wise purple-haired woman gently shook her head. Then, she raised her hand to push up her black glasses and gave Dr. Roman a smile.
Are you looking for me?
Dr. Roman was somewhat surprised by the other party's answer.
"Yes, I am the team leader of the Atlas Institute this time. My name is Sion, and I am the director of the Atlas Institute. Tzvia is my father, and I will be assisting in the demolition work of Chaldeas."
The girl named Sion said with a smile.
"Huh? You're actually in charge?"
Upon hearing his answer, a hint of surprise flashed in Dr. Roman's eyes.
The reason is simple: Sion is far too young, looking almost like a child the same age as Ritsuka. How could such a young child be entrusted with the next task?
However, this doubt vanished almost immediately after it arose.
After all, Dr. Roman knew very well that the Atlas Institute, known for its rationality and scientific research, would not act recklessly. Since they had sent Sion, a young girl, it meant that she had sufficient ability, and he, an outsider, naturally had to trust her.
"Yes, these are my documents. Please take a look."
Sion nodded, then handed the prepared documents to Dr. Roman.
After seeing that document, Dr. Roman's doubts were completely dispelled.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work."
He smiled and nodded, then expressed his gratitude to Sion.
"I have received the document, but it's getting late. Please go and rest. The specific details will need to be discussed before a decision can be made."
He then glanced at the time and realized it was so late; he still had work to do and didn't have time to entertain Sion, so he politely asked her to go home.
However, Sion did not return. Instead, her bright, amethyst-like eyes began to dart around the command room, as if searching for something.
Seeing this, Dr. Roman asked curiously, "Is there anything else, Miss Sion?"
"Yes, I'm looking for someone."
Sion didn't hide anything and answered Dr. Roman's question directly.
Looking for someone?
Upon hearing this, Dr. Roman's expression became curious.
Who are you looking for?
He asked.
"I'm searching for that mysterious Master, that Alien Star Descent, or that Magus from the realm of gods."
Sion didn't hide anything and answered Dr. Roman's question directly.
As a researcher, her curiosity and thirst for knowledge in pursuit of Mari are naturally incredibly strong. Part of the reason she came out to lead the team this time was because she was capable enough, but another part was that she volunteered to come.
For so many years, she had been confined to a place like the Atlas Institute, working behind closed doors to research formal attire, and she was almost suffocating. But because of the institute's rules and her responsibility to observe the future of humanity and provide protection and assistance, she had no choice but to stay there.
Although Tesla Institute detected the changes in its own World Line from the beginning, it couldn't find the cause or a solution. However, through continuous speculation, it was discovered that the Humanity Incineration the end, and a new crisis was about to arrive. Compared to Atlas Institute, the Wandering Sea was a more suitable area for support. Therefore, it prepared to bring some useful equipment to the Wandering Sea in advance.
But suddenly the World Line changed again, and this time humanity's future, which was originally destined for extinction, became unpredictable, and the crisis that the Atlas Institute had foreseen had disappeared.
This surprised Tesla, but also aroused his curiosity.
That's why, upon arriving in Chaldea, she immediately sought out Dr. Roman, wanting to meet those connected to so many events.
Living alien beings.
There are also real modern gods.
As researchers and scholars of the mystical, how could one possibly remain calm when faced with the thought that these things reside in the same area as oneself?
She absolutely had to witness it with her own eyes.
Ideally, we could get some data from them; that would be a huge discovery.
Are you here to see them?
Seeing the undisguised curiosity in Sion's eyes, Dr. Roman frowned.
Although the other party had the demeanor of a mad scientist, he did not sense any ill will or malice from Sion.
So he didn't hide anything and simply answered Sion's question.
"Ritsuka is sleeping right now, you probably can't find her. Daybit is still in the interrogation room and hasn't been released; you can't see him without special access. As for Rovey, he should be with Da Vinci, probably in the summoning room right now. You can—"
"In the summoning room? I understand! Thank you, Director Roman!"
She wasn't disappointed at all that she couldn't see the first two; her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that Rovey was in the summoning room.
Then, Sion, who was standing at the door, immediately stood up, turned around, and rushed out the door. She was very fast and her movements were swift and efficient. She was gone before Dr. Roman could finish speaking.
Roman: "Wow, you run so fast!"

In the summoning room on the other side.
Rovey and Da Vinci stood side by side, gazing together at the specially made summoning ritual array before them.
At this moment, their eyes were filled with undisguised joy and happiness.
"Magic flow is normal."
"Spatiotemporal wavelength matches."
"Stable by relying on the original body."
"There are no problems with the ritual formation."
"In short, everything has been confirmed to be normal."
Standing on the left, Da Vinci held his counting tablet, looking at the rows of data displayed on it, and said earnestly.
On the other side, Rovey was also constantly placing various props on the ritual array in front of him, continuing to refine and adjust the spell.
With their combined efforts, this special Magecraft ritual, capable of transcending several years and directly targeting the summoning of Servant, was finally completed.
"Very good, prepare to summon."
"Okay, I'm going to start."
After confirming that there were no problems, Rovey did not hesitate and immediately began his summoning.
However, before he could chant the incantation or use the Sacred Relic or established affinity to perform a targeted summoning, the previously dim ritual circle in front of him suddenly emitted a bright light.
This scene caused Da Vinci and Rovey to both adopt strange expressions.
Clearly, they hadn't anticipated this unexpected situation.
The two hadn't had time to check or deal with the situation.
Suddenly--
"I'm asking you, are you my Master?!"
A terrifying sound emanated from within the light.
"--"
Sometimes, the worst thing is when the atmosphere suddenly goes quiet.
"--"
This is the quietest moment.
Rovey and Da Vinci stared at the horse-face that suddenly emerged from the summoning circle; that was the source of the deep, magnetic voice.
Yes, I'll emphasize it again.
It has a horse's face, but doesn't actually look like a horse's face.
Even the well-traveled Da Vinci was stunned when such a thing suddenly appeared in his body.
Centaur Servant?
Could it be Charon?
Wait a minute, Teacher Ma, she's met her before.
And I'm not even a centaur anymore, I'm practically a full-fledged centaur, no, a centaur.
"What's wrong? Are you two afraid of my bravery and domineering presence?"
The crimson horse-faced man chuckled strangely, creating an indescribably bizarre scene.
"Waaaaaahh..."
Immediately, an awe-inspiring, even magnetic and sexy male voice emanated from the summoning circle, but the next second, Rovey immediately took action, reaching out to try and shove the guy who had poked his head out of the summoning circle back in, forcibly returning him.
"Huh!? What are you doing? I am the unparalleled Lu Bu! -- Neigh!"
"Lu Bu, where's your horse?! You've got the wrong person!!"
Rovey was terrified, especially when he realized that this guy was going to take over the body he had made for Tiamat. He was so nervous when he came out that he personally stuffed the guy with the distinctive horse face, who called himself Lu Bu and had a carrot in his mouth back into the body.
"Wait a minute! Please wait a minute, I still have something to say. Actually, I can eat dirt, hoho hoho hoho!!"
He increased the pressure on his hands again, and finally managed to subdue the mysterious beast before Rovey out a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at the equally disheveled Da Vinci beside him. At this moment, both of their eyes were filled with confusion.
"What on earth is going on? What was that thing? What was that beast just now? Wasn't it agreed beforehand that this summoning was for Tiamat? How did a horse appear? No, wait, what was that?!"
Still shaken, Rovey glanced at the summoning circle, then turned to Da Vinci, who was equally puzzled, and asked him a question.
At this moment, the other person's expression was also completely bewildered.
She didn't know what happened either.
Da Vinci glanced at the summoning circle and examined it carefully. In a corner of the circle, she found a strand of orange-red hair, which was clearly Ritsuka Fujimaru's hair.
After picking up the hair and examining it closely, Da Vinci roughly understood the cause and effect.
Although Rovey didn't have time to use the Sacred Relic to summon Servant, theoretically, Servant can be summoned even without Sacred Relic. Because of the influence of this single hair, the bond established undoubtedly originates from Ritsuka Fujimaru's bond.
So...
Gudako and that bastard get along really well?!
Upon recalling Ritsuka Fujimaru playing the Hermès mobile game, Da Vinci and Rovey immediately solved the case.
Although it was a little strange that a beautiful girl like Ritsuka Fujimaru would get along so well with such a beast, she suddenly felt inexplicably relieved when she thought about the abstract things that she herself would do from time to time.
In short, it was just a minor incident.
Their call will continue.
So, after Da Vinci carefully examined every detail and found no hair or external factors interfering, the summoning proceeded once again.
Rovey carefully placed his palm in front of the summoning circle and began to use the bond he had established in the Seventh Singularity to summon the Servant he wanted to see. The ritual circle in front of him lit up immediately in the next moment.
"Huh? Where is this? What are you doing here?"
