Plans Change / For Our Wish

Although she has a rather cold personality, she is kind-hearted and will help with anything, big or small. Even so...

Throughout Chaldea, there are still very few people who can connect with her. If you really want to talk about someone who can connect with her...

Even if it were only Mash's attending physician, Romani Archman.

But now, what did he hear? Romani actually said that Mash was chatting with that Fujimaru Ritsuka? Instead of simply giving an explanation?

"Ah, um, it's a chat, they seem to be having a great time. Professor Reif, I have to go now, we'll talk later!" Romani seemed particularly busy; after saying this briefly, he quickly left in front of Reif.

However, at this moment, Reif also became interested in paying attention to Romani. He stroked his chin, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes, and walked towards the medical room.

"Huh? So, I'm going to travel back in time and deal with those who are destroying the era?"

In the medical room, Fujimaru Ritsuka sat on the pristine white hospital bed, looking at Mash with great surprise, and said, "I thought those guys were all 'bad guys,' but I didn't expect them to be an organization that saves the world."

Fujimaru Ritsuka originally thought those guys were some kind of 'terrorist organization' and were already prepared to use the things left behind by Sister Ella.

Then, after Olga Marie revealed some information about 'Mikaela', Fujimaru Ritsuka realized that this seemingly 'arrogant' guy actually knew Sister Ella.

Judging from her tone, it seemed that Sister Ella owed their family something, and now they had her taken away... as if it was to force Sister Ella to come out.

Although she was somewhat reluctant to go, a voice in the depths of her being told Fujimaru Ritsuka that if she followed the other person, she could find Sister Ella!

Fujimaru Ritsuka's intuition has always been very accurate, which is why she followed Olga Marie to Chaldea and passed the Spiritron Transfer performance test.

However, after conducting the simulation experiment of spirit particle infiltration, Fujimaru Ritsuka's brain was overloaded due to her first encounter with such a thing, and she fainted.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had fallen into a coma, was naturally taken to the infirmary by Olga Marie, who had been keeping an eye on her, and placed under the care of Romani Archman.

Later, because of a magical 'squirrel', Mash took the initiative to talk to Fujimaru Ritsuka. In the end, during their conversation, Fujimaru Ritsuka roughly understood some things about Chaldea.

"Well then, let me introduce myself." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled gently, extended her hand to Mash, and said calmly, "My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka. I'm just an ordinary person. I was only recruited here because of Sister Ella's problem, so please take care of me from now on."

"Eh." Mash looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand with some surprise, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She naturally understood that shaking hands was the most basic etiquette.

But... this is probably the first time someone has reached out to her.

Mash slowly extended her hand, but Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately grasped it, smiling happily, "Yes! Then we're friends."

Mash slowly withdrew her hand, looking at her palm as if savoring the warmth she had just felt.

"Hmm? It seems you two get along well."

At that moment, a voice came from outside the door. Reif had arrived at the scene. He smiled very kindly and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, "This is quite unexpected. I thought Romani was lying to me."

"Professor Reif."

At this moment, Mash also stood up from her chair, nodded slightly to Reif, and said in a very calm tone, "Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"No, no, no, I just came to see you." Reif looked at Mash with a very gentle smile, like a father seeing his daughter. He said in a gentle tone, "In a little while, we'll probably start preparing to attack the Singularity. I came to see how you're feeling."

"Thanks to you, everything is fine." Mash nodded, but unlike her friendly conversation with Fujimaru Ritsuka, she seemed rather cold at this moment.

However, Reif seemed to be used to being treated like this by Mash. He quickly shifted his gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka and introduced himself in a friendly manner, "My name is Reif Lenore, and I am a technician from Chaldea."

"Hello." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, but... for some reason, she felt the card placed on her chest was faintly warm, as if reminding her that the guy in front of her was very dangerous.

"Yes, I'm fine." Reif naturally felt very good about himself. He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and chuckled, "It's so good that you're an ordinary person."

"Huh???" Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know whether she was being praised or scolded.

"Sorry." Reif seemed to realize he had misspoke, and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile, saying, "However, after today, you'll probably be glad you're just an ordinary person, because there are many capable people in this world, but very few use their abilities for good."

"So, in my opinion, an ordinary person like you who has no abilities is, in a sense, a 'perfect' person."

Chapter 270 The Plan Has Changed

"Huh?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was clearly bewildered, because in her society, everyone praised geniuses and no one ever talked about what a 'normal person' was like.

But when we got there, this guy who called himself Reif actually praised himself as an ordinary person, which was really great.

"..." Mash remained silent. As a member of Chaldea, she naturally knew that the position of Fujimaru Ritsuka was originally meant for someone else.

However, since that person was still 'asleep', the director, Olga Marie, had no choice but to kidnap the person who was destined to be with 'that person,' namely Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Their original plan was to kidnap Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel.

However, perhaps the other party had heard some rumors, or perhaps there was a traitor within Chaldea, because the Emiya Kiritsugu family disappeared overnight when the director went to visit them.

With the primary target gone, only the backup options remained, and that's how Fujimaru Ritsuka was brought over.

"By the way," Reif spoke up again, smiling as he looked at Mash and asked, "Have you told her about 'that person'?"

"No."

Mash shook her head slightly and said in a very calm tone, "Information about 'that person' is classified as top secret within Chaldea. Without the Director's instructions, I have no right to disclose it."

"It's okay to say a little bit." Reif chuckled and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, whose face was full of confusion, and explained, "You must be wondering why we dragged you here."

"Isn't it because of Sister Ella?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka had almost figured it out: the organization Chaldea had brought her here probably because of Sister Ella, who had taken care of her when she was a child.

"You don't know this yet, do you? The 'Sister Ella' you mentioned is actually the 'Servant' that Olga Marie told you about when you came here."

When 'Mikaela' was mentioned, Reif's tone seemed to become somewhat serious. He said very calmly, "Servant is someone who is summoned to the world through a ritual and becomes a being that can be used."

"And the Sister Ella you mentioned is Servant obtained a new body through the Holy Grail War."

Is there a difference?

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka said that, she was already surprised. No wonder her parents trusted Sister Ella so much; there was a reason behind it.

"The difference is too big, too big." A strange smile appeared on Reif's lips, as if he were mocking Fujimaru Ritsuka for being completely unaware of anything.

"If you were just an ordinary Servant, Olga Marie wouldn't have dragged you, an ordinary person, into this incident." Reif sighed, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka's chest.

Or rather... it was looking at the two cards on her chest.

Mikaela had been staying at the Fujimaru family for three years, during which time the Fujimaru couple treated him very well and never delayed paying his wages.

So before leaving, Mikaela left three good cards for their family, representing attack, defense, and luck respectively.

More than a decade has passed since then. Apart from the card representing attack being used accidentally, both the defense and luck cards are now on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

At that moment, Reif's gaze passed through Fujimaru Ritsuka's clothes and landed on the two cards.

Seemingly sensing his 'aggressor' gaze, the two cards emitted a faint glow, as if they had been activated.

'Semi-automatic type? As expected of someone valued by Marisbury, she actually thought of a way to retaliate if someone tries to steal these things. Looks like she can't be included in the first mission; if she triggers the protective mechanism given to her by 'Saber,' things will get bad.'

Reif withdrew his gaze, revealing his usual friendly smile, and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying, "However, I can't say anything more about what happens next, as it's a top secret."

Seeing that Professor Reif wasn't going to continue, Mash breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although she felt that Fujimaru Ritsuka- senpai was different from others, being different was one thing, but it wasn't good for 'ordinary people' to know certain things.

Moreover, apart from Romani, Professor Reif was the only one in Chaldea who treated her the best, and she didn't want Professor Reif to be punished by the director.

"Thank you for your help." Although Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely confused, judging from Reif's expression and Mash's tense expression beside him, what the other party was talking about was probably information that could not be revealed to outsiders.

But... is Sister Ella really that amazing? Why does she always seem so ordinary? Aside from her delicious cooking, the only thing that really stands out to me is her legs in those black and white over-the-knee socks.

"Haha, as a member of Chaldea, this is only right." Reif laughed heartily, walked up to Fujimaru Ritsuka, patted her on the shoulder, and chuckled, "Then see you next time."

After saying that, Reif left. After leaving the medical room, he walked towards the director's office without saying a word. At the same time, he turned on his communication device and said in a very calm tone, "Olga, the situation has changed. I have something to discuss with you."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

As Olga Marie stepped outside, she noticed a significant change in Reif's tone, as if he had encountered some difficult situation.

"It's about Fujimaru Ritsuka." Reif walked down a corridor and glanced sideways, noticing that the members of Team A were all there, chatting and laughing, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming Singularity challenge.

"..."

When Reif passed by, all the members of Group A fell silent for a moment. They all looked at Reif, but when they realized it was Professor Reif, some of them showed goodwill and then continued their discussion.

Reif ignored the guys in Group A and rushed to the director's office, where he met Olga Marie, who was waiting there.

"Reif, what's going on? What happened to Fujimaru Ritsuka?" Olga Marie was already preparing her pre-battle speech. If Reif hadn't notified her through the communication device, she would have already notified all the Master to come and assemble.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka isn't feeling well right now, and I hope she won't participate in this operation."

Reif took out the lines he had just written and said calmly, "She is not mentally prepared at all, and she has just experienced a simulated battle of 'spiritual infiltration'. Now is the time when she needs rest the most."

Ugh, I'm really upset, I need to take a day off.

Sigh, I heard the news today: the old book has completely collapsed, and the author is feeling extremely helpless.

Today, Sister Nanxi mentioned in the group that she had written about the fan circle and had taken the initiative to contact the author.

And then... I knew I was doomed.

After all... I'm probably the only one, Shuke, who has written 2 million words! A single-world author! A fan-circle author!

Most people do crossover anime, but I stubbornly stuck to my guns, writing original content and heavily modifying existing works, managing to write over 2 million words in just three seasons!

When I wrote about fandom, I thought the beginning of the story was very classic, and the premise was also very good.

I won't say much more now. Once this book is finished, I'll focus on writing original works.

Fanfiction will always be just fanfiction; only original works have a future.

Chapter 271 For Our Wishes

"This..."

Olga Marie frowned slightly, looking at Reif with some suspicion. Although she trusted him, it was he who had previously asked Gilshtalier to take care of Fujimaru Ritsuka in the Singularity, and then naturally obtained the 'Saber's' Holy Relic from her.

To be honest, although Olga Marie wanted to obtain Mikaela, she did not have the potential for Master and Spiritron Transfer, and could only act as a commander to help other Master.

Whether from a rational or emotional perspective, handing 'Saber' over to Gilshtalier is a good thing.

"I just checked, Fujimaru Ritsuka has something given to her by 'Saber.' It's not just Holy Relic, but a detection item." Reif naturally knew why Olga Marie had that expression.

Reif said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, it was probably left behind by 'Saber' to guard the Fujimaru family's belongings."

"What does this have to do with anything?" Olga Marie frowned. She did know that Fujimaru Ritsuka had a protective item given to her by Mikaela, because it was these items that made them go to great lengths to bring her from her home to Chaldea.

If the other person didn't have a talent with 100% Spiritron Transfer aptitude, she wouldn't have allowed them to Chaldea's 48 Master candidates.

Although Olga Marie wasn't very eloquent and was quite arrogant, possessing most of the bad habits of aristocratic young ladies, she was still quite kind-hearted and knew that some things couldn't be forced upon ordinary people.

However, even though Fujimaru Ritsuka has some potential, her greatest value lies in the 'Holy Relic' she possesses.

"Olga, you should also know that 'Saber' is no ordinary Servant. The things she set up may very well contain a trace of her spirit. In other words, they are similar to modern surveillance devices."

At this point, Reif's meaning was quite clear: if Fujimaru Ritsuka were to enter the Singularity, it might anger Mikaela, leading to some problems.

Although the old director spent a lot of money to create a Nameless Spirit Core for Mikaela, both Olga Marie and Reif knew about it.

By then, Mikaela had recovered from his injuries and was indifferent to the Nameless Spirit Core origin. However, since the other party had made the offer, he felt embarrassed to refuse, so he accepted it.

There's a huge difference between offering help in times of need and adding to someone's success.

Furthermore, Mikaela's attitude towards the Fujimaru family was also very ambiguous. They spent three years together, she left three cards, and before she went into seclusion, she even cooked a meal at their house before going to find the Emiya Kiritsugu family.

This shows that he paid more attention to the Fujimaru family than to the Emiya Kiritsugu family.

"I understand." Although Olga was not someone who could be persuaded in a few words, she roughly understood what Reif meant. She nodded slightly and replied, "Then let her rest in her room. Anyway, she's just an ordinary person, and letting her enter this Singularity won't make much of a difference."

"But... what about Gilshtalier?"

Although Olga Marie's attitude towards Gilshtalier wasn't great before, the other party was still a key player, and as the director, she naturally had to consider the other party's situation.

"He'll let me handle it." Reif smiled gently. As long as Olga Marie agreed, things would be much easier.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Olga Marie also trusted Reif's abilities, and she confidently entrusted Gilshtalier to him to deal with.

"No, how could it be troublesome?" Reif smiled and whispered, "It's all for our sake."

"Our wish? Reif, you're acting strange today." Olga Marie chuckled. She trusted Reif completely, so she didn't pay any attention to anything. She simply placed her hand on the communication device and began to notify the other Master to come to the Control Room for a meeting.

"..."

Looking at the completely unaware Olga Marie, a cruel glint flashed in Reif's eyes. He didn't say anything more, after all, he was indeed doing his best to help 'Olga Marie', but not for Chaldea, but for our wishes.
