The Meeting (Extra Update) / The Hot Commodity (Fifth Update) ...

Moreover, my childhood friend is incapable of lying, which means... either she was deceived, or everything she said is true.

However, Touma Kazusa secretly shook her head. There weren't that many magical things in this world. After all, this was the age of science, and feudal superstitions were not to be believed. She must have just been hallucinating.

"Well then, I'll be going now."

At a fork in the road, Fujimaru Ritsuka waved to Touma Kazusa, put the card into her amulet, and jogged towards her house.

She was already imagining what delicious food her mother would make for her tonight.

"I'm home!" Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly froze after opening her front door.

Because there were several burly bodyguards in suits and sunglasses standing inside the room.

"Are you Fujimaru Ritsuka?" A gorgeously dressed young woman sat on the sofa, her legs crossed, her legs encased in red pantyhose. She looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just entered the house and whose eyes were somewhat vacant, with a haughty gaze.

'Hmph, so this is the child who became involved with Saber in the Fourth Holy Grail War? No matter how you look at it, it seems unreliable. If that damned Magus Killer hadn't run off with his wife and daughter, I wouldn't have bothered finding an ordinary person.'

Although she was somewhat displeased, she stood up calmly and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying, "Now, in the name of the Director of Chaldea — Olga Marie Animsphere, I inform you that you will join us as the 48th candidate Master and become one of the Master who will save Human Order."

After saying that, without waiting for Fujimaru Ritsuka's objection, Olga Marie snapped her fingers and looked at the bodyguard in a suit beside her, saying, "Take her to get an aptitude test."

"Yes!"

PS: "Two more chapters to go."

Chapter 267 Talks (Fourth Update)

"Seriously, that guy is 100% adaptable."

In the director's office at Chaldea, Olga Marie brewed a cup of coffee and said impatiently, "Although she has 100% Spiritron Transfer Adaptability and the qualifications to become Master, she is really too bad. From any perspective, she is terrible."

"Well, you can't say that." Wearing a green top hat, Reif smiled innocently at Olga Marie and chuckled, "After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka is connected to that 'existence,' so if she could successfully summon..."

At this point, Reif shut up, because he believed Olga Marie already understood what he meant; that Servant was a secret Chaldea intelligence agent.

"Has she not awakened yet? She's been asleep for twelve years, that Servant!"

Reif's words only made things worse. Olga Marie gritted her teeth, wishing she could rush to Fuyuki City and drag him out.

"According to the current intelligence, that Saber is currently entering the most critical state. In the first Holy Grail War held in Romania, she obtained the Spirit Origin of Valkyrie and Medusa, in addition to the Nameless Spirit Core she obtained from the previous Director."

"Based on our speculation, it seems that she wants to fuse with several Spirit Origin to further enhance her power."

At this point, Reif shook his head slightly, and said with some doubt, "However, she should understand the principle that Servant can only fuse with one Spirit Origin at most."

Each person can only fuse with the Spirit Origin of one Servant. If several Servant' Spirit Origin are forcibly fused together, the result will be no less than 'self-destruction'.

Chaldea had studied this experiment before. The previous director had specifically researched this area, spending a lot of money on the research, and the final result was an 'explosion'.

That's right, it was just a simple explosion. With a 'bang,' the test subject was blown to bits.

"Since she dared to do this, she must have her own plans." Olga Marie seemed to have calmed down a bit at this moment and analyzed calmly. "Lord El-Melloi II also had a very high opinion of her, my father had also invested in her, and even Aozaki Touko, an Order of Puppeteer, had a very deep impression of her."

The people Olga Marie mentioned may not be particularly skilled in the Magecraft world, but their vision is exceptionally sharp!

Those whom the three men valued all achieved great success or had unique insights in a particular field.

In other words, Olga Marie could ignore the existence of that 'Saber,' but she absolutely could not ignore the existence recognized by Waver, Aozaki Touko, and her own father.

"Hmm. She's not stupid. Perhaps... she foresaw something and planned to avoid us." Reif lowered his hat, a strange glint in his eyes.

If that's the case, then we probably have to commend the other party for having eyes like our My King, capable of seeing into the past and the future.

"No, that's unlikely. According to the teacher, she's a Servant keeps her promises. No matter what happens, as long as she wakes up... she'll come to see us."

However, at that moment, the door to the director's office opened, and a blond man who appeared aloof yet kind walked in, holding a cane. He clearly wielded immense power in Chaldea, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the director's office so easily.

Olga Marie's expression was clearly extremely unpleasant as she looked at the blond man who had entered on his own. She glared at him and said angrily, "Gilshtalier Wodime, today is the day we begin our battle. I expect you to show me some respect."

"I think I've already said that without my orders, you should stay in your room and prepare yourself for the upcoming Singularity."

That's right, today is the day to head to the Singularity.

"I have always respected you, Director."

Gilshtalier bowed slightly to Olga Marie to show his respect, and said in a very calm tone, "However, there are some things I feel it is necessary to say."

"Oh? What do you want to say?" Olga Marie suppressed her anger. In every respect, she didn't dislike the blond man in front of her.

However, due to some rumors circulating outside, Olga Marie couldn't help but dislike the man in front of her.

Gilshtalier Wodime is the leader of Team A, one of the 48 Master in Chaldea.

The chairman of the Department of the Celestial Department, one of the twelve disciplines of the Clock Tower, and the young head of the prestigious Wodim family, whose family history and Magic Circuits are measured in millennia.

Rumors suggest she is more likely to be the heir to the Lord than Olga Marie. Marisbury's chief disciple.

To be honest, Olga Marie admitted that she was inferior to the other person in many ways, but she would never say it out loud. Instead, she would put in more and more effort to make others look at her with new eyes!

Then let the world know that she, Olga Marie, is the true Lord of the Celestial Department, not a weak woman who inherited everything from her father.

"What I'm trying to say is very simple." Gilshtalier looked at Reif and said calmly, "Professor Reif, you told me before that 'Saber' was supposed to be a member of Team A, right?"

"Um."

Reif nodded, still maintaining his gentle smile, and looked at Gilshtalier, saying, "That's exactly what the former director said. If nothing unexpected happens, then the Saber who is sleeping in Fuyuki City will become the strongest member of your Group A, because everything she has done is enough to impress the director."

"Based on her record, she certainly has the qualifications."

Gilshtalier, who knew 'Saber' very well, gripped his cane and said slowly, "If she awakens, then I believe Kadoc will have an easier time, since Group A only needs seven people."

"..." Reif looked up, seemingly puzzled as he looked at Gilshtalier, wondering what was going on with her.

Are you already starting to dislike your teammates? We haven't even started attacking the Singularity yet.

"Indeed, he is under a lot of psychological pressure." Olga Marie nodded slightly, agreeing with Gilshtalier's view.

Kadoc's overall strength is indeed not bad, but his mental fortitude is really too poor. In this kind of mission to save Human Order, mental fortitude is extremely important.

"So, what are you planning to do?" Olga Marie narrowed her eyes, sensing that Gilshtalier's arrival was probably not just about these things.

The other party is an outstanding man, and he has his own ideas about every step he takes.

"I want her Holy Relic. That Fujimaru Ritsuka probably has her Holy Relic." Gilshtalier finally revealed his purpose, his tone very calm. "I hope she will hand over that Holy Relic."

PS: "One more chapter."

Chapter 268 Delicious Steamed Buns (Fifth Update)

Holy Relic.

When Gilshtalier said these words, Reif and Olga Marie found out.

The man couldn't wait for 'Saber' to emerge from the cross; he planned to summon her directly.

That's right, it's the Heroic Spirit Summoning. This is also why Olga Marie tied up Fujimaru Ritsuka. Because in their investigation, besides the Emiya family, they had the closest connection with Mikaela.

Because they've been living together for three years!!! That's right, they've lived with Servant been defiled for three years, and they still think of each other as just humans with some strange powers.

Like a legendary superhuman, he possesses immense power, yet he is also quite approachable.

Their family knew nothing else about Mikaela.

In other words, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mrs. Fujimaru, and Mr. Fujimaru are all walking Holy Relic. If they were to perform the summoning, there's a high chance they could summon a Servant would win two consecutive Holy Grail War.

"She does indeed possess Magecraft artifacts given to her by 'Saber'."

At this point, Olga Marie became somewhat serious. She looked at Gilshtalier calmly and said, "However, are you sure you want to do this? If the information is accurate, she is different from ordinary Servant. Other Servant are summoned without carrying the memories of their previous encounter, but she is very likely to carry the memories of her previous encounter. Moreover, she has not completely left the stage yet."

"..." Gilshtalier fell silent, because everyone in the room knew that Mikaela was a different kind of being.

Although she was summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu, there is no record of her in history, which makes one wonder if she is a visitor from another world.

And it really was true!

Kiritsugu Animsphere had already learned about the previous director, Marisbury Animusfiah, from Emiya Kiritsugu.

Mikaela does not belong to this world; she is a visitor from another world.

It seems that Emiya Kiritsugu summoned the other party by chance, even though at that time he only wanted to summon the King of Knights — Artoria.

Unexpectedly, Emiya Kiritsugu actually summoned Mikaela, a person from another world. Such a miracle probably only has a one in a billion chance.

"I have a good idea."

At this moment, Reif spoke up. He looked at Gilshtalier and smiled, "How about you take Fujimaru Ritsuka with you in the Fuyuki Singularity and let her understand what Chaldea is striving for? That way, she will probably obediently hand over 'Saber's' Holy Relic."

"Even a professional Magecraft would probably be terrified after witnessing a battle Servant, let alone an ordinary person."

What Reif said makes a lot of sense. After all, if it's a blatant robbery, even if that 'Saber' is summoned, she will be quite displeased, which could lead to some unpredictable events.

But if Fujimaru Ritsuka obediently hands over the 'Holy Relic', then they won't be blamed for what happened to them.

"Hmm, Reif said makes sense." Olga Marie's eyes lit up. She nodded and said with feigned authority, "Then it's settled. Gilshtalier, if you really want the 'Holy Relic' in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hands, then it depends on your performance."

"...Alright." Gilshtalier didn't say anything more. He picked up his staff, gave Olga Marie a noble salute, and then walked out the door.

He had said everything he needed to say. As long as he protected that 'Fujimaru Ritsuka', he would be able to obtain the true trump card!

After Gilshtalier left, Olga Marie breathed a sigh of relief. She slumped into her chair, then seemed to realize that her posture was a bit unseemly, so she quickly sat up, picked up the coffee next to her, and drank it with a serious expression.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now." Reif was also preparing to leave; he was going to check on Mash.

"Um."

Olga Marie nodded slightly, finished her coffee, and looked at Reif calmly, saying, "I should also prepare for my work at the Singularity. As for the issue of that newcomer, I'll leave it to you, Reif."

"Don't you want to hand 'Saber' over to Gilshtalier?" Reif naturally saw through Olga Marie's thoughts and said bluntly, "You're not qualified to become Master, but that 'Saber' isn't Servant in the true sense anymore. As long as you sign a contract with her..."

At this point, Reif fell silent again. He had pretty much figured it out when Olga Marie personally came to his door to capture Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The director in front of me also wants to have 'Saber' under his control.

"That's right." Olga Marie readily admitted. If there was anyone in Chaldea she trusted the most, it would undoubtedly be Professor Reif.

Because of her father's sudden death, Olga Marie was forced to take on the heavy responsibilities of Chaldea and the Lord. These things seemed to fall on her suddenly, leaving her breathless.

Fortunately, Professor Reif was there to help her; otherwise, Olga Marie wouldn't know if she could have made it this far.

"Based on my father's and Waver's descriptions, she is clearly the person I need most." Olga Marie sat in her chair and said with a helpless tone, "Not to mention her outstanding strength, even my father and Waver highly praised her ability to handle things. In the current situation of Chaldea, what we need is not Servant with particularly strong strength, but a Servant like her who can take care of others."

"Oh? About your personal life?" Reif looked at Olga Marie with some surprise. At this moment, he seemed to have noticed that this very strong-willed girl was showing a rare sign of fatigue in the director's office.

She was exhausted, but for the sake of her family and Chaldea, Olga Marie kept running like a machine that never stopped.

"No, it's not private living quarters!"

Olga Marie jumped up as if her hair had been blown out. Even her most trusted Professor Reif shouldn't talk to her like that!

What does it mean to take care of her personal life? She simply wanted the other person to help her solve some problems!

"Well, well, don't get excited, Olga. It's fine as long as you have your own ideas." Reif smiled gently, squinting at Olga Marie. "Whatever it is, I will support you. I trust your judgment."

"Just like when I trusted Marisbury."

Reif opened his eyes, a cold glint in them, but the flustered Olga Marie didn't notice anything unusual about Reif.

P. S.: Goodnight everyone! (5 AM)

Chapter 269 Ordinary People

After speaking with Olga Marie, Professor Reif left the director's office. Today was the day to exterminate the Singularity, and he planned to go see Mash to let her prepare.

'This day has finally come,' Reif exclaimed, as everything proceeded as planned.

He held everyone in Chaldea in contempt, from Da Vinci, who was hiding in the Magic Workshop, to Olga Marie, who depended on him.

But... that child was different. Reif walked slowly, passing many staff members and prospective Master. He smiled gently and nodded to them. He didn't look like a traditional Magecraft at all, but rather like a gentle middle-aged man.

"Romani".

At that moment, Reif encountered Romani Archman, who was preparing to provide psychological and pharmacological counseling to 48 Master. He smiled gently and asked, "Where did Mash go?"

"Oh! Professor Reif." Romani Archman, who had rushed over, stopped abruptly upon seeing Reif in the corridor. He said with a hint of helplessness, "Mash is probably chatting with that child. They're both in the medical room."

"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in Reif's eyes. He asked in astonishment, "Mash is chatting with her? Are you sure, Romani?"

In Chaldea, Mash is known for her coldness. She responds mechanically to everyone, like an iceberg that will never melt.
