Hey, Are You Blushing? / Put It on for Me to See!

How could she not see through Olga Marie's little scheme? After all, she's a 'fairy'! An existence that has lived from the past to the present.

"If your father were here, he certainly wouldn't care about the Holy Grail, because what he sees is completely different from what you see." Mikaela was also indirectly criticizing Olga Marie.

Mikaela felt speechless every time she saw Olga Marie's orders.

Although they are father and daughter, for some reason, their personalities are quite different.

If Marisbury Animsphere were here now, he would definitely let Fujimaru Ritsuka hand over the Holy Grail.

Then they recruited Drake, the miracle worker who, as an ordinary man, defeated Poseidon on the high seas and seized the Holy Grail from him.

Marisbury would probably prefer someone like Drake, who creates miracles, to an inanimate object like the Holy Grail.

Her father, Marisbury Animsphere, is a cunning, daring, and meticulous man who is willing to relinquish his interests to others.

Even when they were unsure whether their plans would succeed, the other party invested a lot of things, such as Mikaela and Akuta Hiyori before they joined Chaldea.

The other party once said that if Mikaela wanted something, he would do everything in his power to get it and give it to her unconditionally.

The Nameless Spirit Core was something Marisbury forced upon Mikaela.

Although Akuta Hiyori didn't know what she had gained, it's believed that she, like Mikaela, passively accepted Marisbury's benefits and then helped him with his tasks.

However, neither Mikaela nor Akuta Hiyori liked the previous director.

The reason is simple: it's extremely difficult to guess what the other party is really thinking, what they want to do, and what their purpose is in building Chaldea, even at the cost of their family's foundation.

Simply to save Human Order? Don't be ridiculous. Both Mikaela and Akuta Hiyori know that's a lie. What their true purpose is, probably no one knows yet.

"It feels like it's all my fault." Olga Marie instantly went into a wronged mode. She was telling the truth. Why was everyone against her?

Putting the Holy Grail on someone else is truly a waste!

Inside the Control Room, the other staff members remained silent, exchanging glances and letting out helpless sighs.

Although they agreed with the director's decision, only they knew exactly how desperately Chaldea was lacking in magical energy at that moment.

However, their agreement alone is not enough; the power still lies with Mash, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and Akuta Hiyori within the Singularity.

Needless to say, Fujimaru Ritsuka, as well as Mash and Akuta Hiyori, both felt that Fujimaru Ritsuka had not done anything wrong.

Akuta Hiyori, who had maintained a calm demeanor throughout, agreed with Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions and felt that the other party had not done anything wrong.

Mikaela in Chaldea agrees with Fujimaru Ritsuka's decision, which makes Olga Marie very embarrassed.

"You did nothing wrong. You just made a decision about your own position." Mikaela looked at Olga Marie and said with a helpless tone, "But you need to think about it. The Holy Grail can't be taken back to Chaldea immediately, Ritsuka still needs to continue exploring the Singularity."

"As Drake just mentioned, she encountered several beings like Mash, who were Servant operating at sea."

"The only one here with naval combat capabilities Drake. Returning the Holy Grail to her only grants her the ability to protect herself. It is only with the power of the Holy Grail that she can inflict damage on Servant."

"Think about it now. If we retrieve the Holy Grail now, will Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately return to Chaldea? If she does return to Chaldea, will she be able to encounter someone as experienced at sea as Drake next time? After all, he's setting sail tomorrow."

At this point, Mikaela fell silent.

He had just subconsciously analyzed for Olga Marie the benefits of returning the Holy Grail to Drake.

Olga Marie's eyes widened, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Doctor Roman silently gave Mikaela a thumbs up. Just as the intelligence indicated, your rhetoric is indeed very powerful.

Chapter 519 Oh, are you blushing?

After listening to Mikaela's words, Olga Marie pondered for a moment and found that what she said made a lot of sense.

I was being shortsighted. If I let Fujimaru Ritsuka take back the Holy Grail now, then when she returns to the Singularity, she probably won't be able to find a captain with Drake's extensive sea experience.

Since Drake appeared in this Singularity, it must mean that this Singularity is closely related to her.

For example, the people who appeared in the first three Singularity — Jeanne d'Arc, Nero, and Bedivere —were all figures who had a significant connection to the Singularity.

If it weren't for their existence, the difficulty of the first, second, and Sixth Singularity would probably have increased many times over.

"It seems they'll be spending the night in the Singularity." Mikaela saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others were getting ready to sleep, so he turned around and prepared to leave the Control Room.

The others seemed ready to 'change shifts', and some staff members left the Control Room to take a break.

Doctor Roman also stood up. He walked to Mikaela's side and said helplessly, "Yes, if possible, I would like to let them come back to rest, but now that they're back, if they want to go back later, I'm afraid they'll have disappeared again."

Even after so many tests, the Chaldea group had no confidence that they could successfully teleport Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others to a safe place.

Take this third Singularity for example. If we're not careful, we might accidentally send Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others into the sea. To prevent this, Olga Marie even had Da Vinci make a portable, disposable rubber boat in advance.

"Are you going to rest too?" At this moment, Mikaela also wanted to go back to her room to sleep, even though with his current physical condition, he could go a whole year without sleep and have no problems.

Since Mikaela wants to live the life of an 'ordinary person,' she must adopt a lifestyle of going to bed early and waking up early.

"No, I plan to stay overnight with the director. I'm going out to make some coffee later and bring it over for them." Doctor Roman waved to the staff sitting in front of him and looked at Mikaela helplessly, saying, "Everyone goes through this, and we're pretty much used to it."

"Oh, then let's go make some coffee together. I've been wanting a cup of black coffee too." Mikaela was also planning to get a cup of coffee, since it was something her dad liked to drink.

Let's have a drink now, as a way of remembering our father who is still sleeping in another world.

"You're going to sleep after drinking your coffee?" Olga Marie's lips twitched slightly. She turned around, turned off her microphone, and looked at Mikaela, saying, "Besides, you don't need to sleep at all. Wouldn't it be better to stay with us and observe Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition?"

"Aren't you all here?" Mikaela asked, puzzled. "You're all here observing Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition, so why is he still here?"

He doesn't understand these things, and if something really happens, he won't be able to operate these instruments to help Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"With you here, Fujimaru Ritsuka's safety will be greatly enhanced. If anything happens, you can go there immediately to stabilize the situation."

Seeing Mikaela's calm expression, Olga Marie immediately said, "Besides, you are the only one here who has the power to go to the Singularity immediately, and we need your power now."

"No, that's too much trouble. I'm on my 'rest time' now and don't need to help you. Besides, if something really happens, that guy will take care of it."

Mikaela wore a rather 'troublesome' expression. He pointed at Akuta Hiyori, who was still 'reading' on the screen, and said calmly, "That girl is hiding her true colors. You should be focusing on her now, instead of trying to squeeze more value out of me."

After saying that, Mikaela called out to Doctor Roman, who was standing to the side with a helpless expression, and walked out of the Control Room.

"Who do you think you are?! I've never exploited you!!" Olga Marie was infuriated by Mikaela again. You don't need to sleep anyway!

You are an existence no less Servant, so sleeping is something that is dispensable to you.

I simply wanted to invite you over to observe Fujimaru Ritsuka; how could I possibly exploit you for my own benefit?

"Stop teasing the director." After leaving the Control Room, Doctor Roman looked at Mikaela helplessly and said, "Ever since her body shrunk, her personality isn't as calm as it used to be."

Does the body change the age of the mind?

Mikaela smiled, after all, the director's body had returned to a time period of about ten years ago.

The other person's demeanor was less decisive and authoritative than when they first met; they seemed somewhat cute and silly.

"Pretty much, Da Vinci also talked about this issue." Doctor Roman shrugged, clearly quite familiar with the situation of Olga Marie, the young director.

"That's good." Mikaela walked side by side with Doctor Roman, and he chuckled, "If I could, I would also like to go back to that 'innocent' time."

"How long ago?" Doctor Roman asked curiously, to be honest, he didn't know anything about Mikaela's past.

It seems that no one in Chaldea knows what Mikaela's past was like.

"I think I was around three or four years old. That was the happiest time of my life." A hint of reminiscence flashed in Mikaela's eyes as he sighed, "My parents were by my side, and I was able to live a carefree life without having to think about my future."

"I see."

Looking at Mikaela's expression, Doctor Roman sighed inwardly. According to Emiya Kiritsugu, when he summoned Mikaela, she claimed to be a 15-year-old boy.

The other person joined the battle at the age of 15 and died in one of the battles.

He's still so young.

'And...' Doctor Roman's nose twitched slightly. Since he was walking side by side with Mikaela and there was no one else around, he could clearly smell the fragrance emanating from her.

It was a fragrance that defies description; just one sniff was incredibly soothing, making you want to inhale it a few more times.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" Mikaela looked up at Doctor Roman, feeling very strange. Why did he suddenly stop talking while we were chatting?

Doctor Roman is about 1.8 meters tall, while Mikaela's height has been reduced to about 1.55 meters. If he wanted to see her, he could only look up at her.

"No, no, I just feel that you shouldn't have died."

Doctor Roman felt his thoughts were a bit 'dirty'. His face flushed, and he quickly turned his head away, saying in a slightly nervous voice, "It's such a pity that you, so young, beautiful, and lovely, were summoned into this world."

Mikaela was speechless. He casually brushed his stray hair behind his ear and looked at Doctor Roman with his crystal-clear, amber eyes, saying, "Pretty, cute? These are words used to describe women, right? You should know my real gender."

"Hahahaha~" Doctor Roman laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Amid Doctor Roman's awkward laughter, they soon arrived at the restaurant.

Chapter 520 Let me see what you're wearing!

"As usual, please prepare some coffee for me," Doctor Roman said somewhat apologetically to the empty kitchen.

"No problem."

Red A canceled his spirit form and appeared in the kitchen. He seemed to be a resident Servant. He glanced at Mikaela, who was standing next to Doctor Roman and had a very strong presence, and continued to ask, "Maid, are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Because Red A still has memories of the previous Romania Holy Grail War, he is quite grateful to Mikaela.

After all, the other party saw through his true identity and helped him conceal it, and also helped his father win the Holy Grail War and saved Illya's life.

Red A was very grateful to Mikaela for this. As long as Mikaela gave the order, he would make sure she had a good meal, no matter what she wanted to eat.

Even if it means eating dragon meat! Red A dares to wield dual swords and transform from a chef into a dragon slayer!

"A cup of black coffee and some desserts, nothing else." Mikaela didn't have many fancy moves. After thinking for a moment, he ordered some desserts he hadn't tried before and looked at Doctor Roman, saying, "What about you? Would you like something?"

"I'll just have some regular instant coffee. I'm not particularly hungry today, and I don't want to eat anything tonight to avoid gaining weight." Doctor Roman sighed. Now that he's an ordinary person, he definitely needs to take precautions to prevent weight gain!

"..."

Mikaela gave Doctor Roman a deep look and said calmly, "Why do I always feel like you're implying something?"

"No way." Doctor Roman's face stiffened, as if he realized he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly said, "I was just talking about myself."

"~" Mikaela smiled slightly and said in a leisurely tone, "Don't worry, I won't get fat no matter how much dessert I eat. After all, I'm the kind of person who can't get fat."

Since perfectly absorbing the Spirit Origin of Valkyrie and Medusa, Mikaela could clearly feel many changes occurring in her body.

Besides inheriting the Noble Phantasm and innate abilities of both, the most important thing is that Mikaela can sense that her body is vaguely taking shape at this stage.

In the past, when transforming, the body would involuntarily become taller or shorter, and might even become more feminine.

Now that Mikaela has transformed, unless it's someone like King Hassan, his body won't change much.

At this moment, Mikaela's condition is closer to that of Artoria, where no matter how much she eats, she will not gain weight or change her body shape.

"Hahahaha." Doctor Roman laughed awkwardly, unsure of what to say.

"Let's go sit over there for a while."

Mikaela walked to a small dining table, intending to rest for a while and wait for Red A to finish making dessert and coffee.

"OK."

Doctor Roman nodded, said nothing more, and sat down at the dining table with Mikaela to start chatting.

The conversation between the two was rather mundane, consisting mainly of their respective experiences.

Doctor Roman recounts his experience of becoming an 'ordinary person,' while Mikaela speaks of her experience caring for young Fujimaru Ritsuka.

However, Red A soon brought up the dessert and coffee. He said to Doctor Roman, "The coffee sent to the Control Room will take a while. Regular instant coffee is not effective at relieving fatigue."

"Thank you for your help," Doctor Roman said to Red A.

"Don't mention it, I'm used to it." Red A smiled easily. He was clearly very satisfied with his life in Chaldea. Being a cook was much more enjoyable than being a cleaner.

Furthermore, there's a swimming activity at the beach next, with Kiritsugu and his 'mother' in swimsuits, which Red A doesn't care about.

But! When it comes to Illya's swimsuit, Red A feels life is so perfect! Chaldea is just wonderful.

"It looks quite nice." Mikaela looked at the exquisite desserts on the plate, reached out, picked up a piece of cake, put it in his mouth, and after tasting it for a while, he nodded and said seriously, "The taste is very good, I like it very much."

"I'm glad you like it."

After saying that, Red A entered spirit form and prepared to return to the kitchen to grind coffee.

"By the way, you must have other goals for coming to Chaldea, right?" Doctor Roman asked involuntarily, watching Mikaela eating dessert. "It's 'rest' time now. You can tell me, maybe I can help."

Under normal circumstances, Doctor Roman would never have said that, but now that he has regained the 'Ten Rings', he can do significantly more things without having restored his original body.

Mikaela is currently based in Chaldea, so she must have her own things to do.
