Making a Move on Mash? That's Not All...

"Well..."

Upon hearing Gwen's question, Dr. Roman glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, and couldn't help but sigh—

"I thought the burning of Human Order caused by Goetia was already horrifying enough, but I never expected..."

Well..."

"This little broken planet of ours is as plagued by disasters as ever..."

Gwen sat down casually next to Dr. Roman, and casually pulled out a piece of strawberry cake.

"Ah, thank you..."

Upon seeing his favorite strawberry cake, the previously frowning Dr. Roman thanked her with delight and accepted the cake from Gwen's hand.

Cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth, savoring the delicious taste that seemed so distant from his Remembrance, even though it was just a day ago. Dr. Roman's heavy mood lifted a little.

Seeing Dr. Roman happily munching on the strawberry cake Gwen had brought, his eyes crinkling with joy, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had been feeling equally heavy-hearted after exchanging information with Kadoc and Perospero, couldn't help but feel a little better.

"Ah, the doctor still loves strawberry cake so much."

Looking at Dr. Roman's expression, Mash couldn't help but recall her days back in Chaldea in Antarctica—

"She loves sweets just like a little kid."

"Cough..."

Upon hearing Mash's words, Dr. Roman, whose heart was filled with sweetness, coughed and gave Mash a resentful look for speaking such blunt truth.

However, before Dr. Roman could say anything, Gwen to injury—

"However, speaking of which, Dr. Roman was born into the flesh after the Holy Grail War in 2004. By 2016, the time he truly lived as Romani seemed to be only a little over ten years, so he could practically be considered a child—"

Children aged twelve or thirteen are at the age where they love sweets.

"Huh?"

"So, Dr. Roman is even younger than me?"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka's previously listless orange side ponytail bounced up, instantly becoming lively and energetic.

"Hey, why did the topic suddenly shift to this?"

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was puffing out her chest and putting on a reliable older sister act, Dr. Roman suddenly felt that his future was probably going to be bleak.

Feeling his authority vanish and his future bleak, Dr. Roman found even the strawberry cake in his hand tasteless, and looked at Gwen with a face full of grief and indignation.

"But whether he was twenty-two or twelve, Romani was still our beloved Dr. Roman, wasn't he?"

Gwen smiled and Ritsuka and Mash.

"Certainly!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash spoke in unison, but the laughter in their words sent a chill down Dr. Roman's spine.

"If you, Dr. Roman, feel that you will lose your dignity because of your age, you don't need to worry. After all, with the constant criticism from various heroic spirits, your dignity has already vanished."

Seeing Dr. Roman's face, which looked like he was doomed, Gwen suppressed a laugh and patted him on the shoulder.

"Who do you think this is because of?"

Dr. Roman shouted in grief and indignation.

"?"

Hearing the commotion, Shi, who was instructing Adele on how to cook in the kitchen, popped her head out and looked over.

Dr. Roman immediately covered his mouth, indicating that he would be quiet and begging for mercy.

As Gwen said, after being sharply criticized by various Heroic Spirits in each singularity, Dr. Roman was quite clear about his usual position as a brother of the Gatin.

"?"

Feeling she had tried her best to suppress her aloofness, Shiki blinked and subconsciously looked at Gwen—

Am I really that scary?

"It's not your problem, it's his own fault."

Gwen suppressed a laugh and transmitted his voice to Shi.

"..."

Nodding, she turned and went back to the kitchen, not even glancing at Dr. Roman again—

After realizing that there were far more monsters and demons in this world than he had imagined, Shi found Dr. Roman's situation utterly insignificant... even less so than the insane senior he had been before his transmigration.

After Shi returned to the kitchen, Dr. Roman stopped talking and silently ate his strawberry cake, seemingly trying to channel his grief into his appetite. The three of them then changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I feel that Miss Ryougi's temperament has changed a lot compared to before..."

Mash looked towards the kitchen, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, it feels like he's a completely different person."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes—

Having seen many heroic spirits, she already had a vague idea of what was going on.

That's about right.

Gwen nodded—

"Like some of the heroic spirits you have encountered before, Shiki also has multiple personalities."

The one using the body now is Shiki, and together with her, the more cheerful and lively one is Origami.

The ethereal, gentle, and benevolent Ryougi Shiki.

"Okay, I've got it."

Although Ryougi Shiki's situation seemed unexpectedly complicated, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not surprised at all.

"Speaking of which, now that you have more information, what are your plans?"

"Gwen asked."

"Now...

We can only take it one step at a time.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash exchanged a glance, and said helplessly—

The God-Slaying Alliance has been completely wiped out. Even with the Grand Summoning Ritual that can summon a Grand Servant, Chaldea is still struggling to survive in the cracks, facing three gods, several alien apostles, and the Atlantic Lostbelt of Chaldea, which almost wiped out Kirschtaria in Atlantis.

In fact, compared to the summoning ritual where it was still unknown which Grand Servant would be summoned, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that Gwen was more reliable, and asked Gwen about his plans—

"And you, Gwen, after joining forces with Zeus to defeat the Alien God, what do you plan to do?"

"The Alien God is just the beginning."

Gwen then pulled out some snacks and placed them on the table, gesturing for the two to eat and talk at the same time.

"Although Zeus is already trying to solve the problem of being infiltrated, I think his chances of success are slim."

The other party is the mothership that created them, whose strength and technological level are no less than theirs, and who has an almost absolute information advantage over Zeus, as well as a higher level of authority.

Even if Zeus may have had a higher level of intellect and emotion, he was still at a great disadvantage.

Therefore, after defeating the Alien God, besides dealing with Zeus, we will most likely also need to deal with Chaos behind him.

A terrifying entity capable of deploying a deep-space fleet.

Even if the opponent is in poor condition, or even if they are from a different world, they are not so easy to deal with.

Chapter 615 Plotting something against Mash? That's not all...

"..."

Even though they had heard of Chaos before, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash still felt a heavy weight in their hearts when Gwen mentioned this legendary being in Greek mythology again.

Dr. Roman, who was devouring the strawberry cake as if trying to make up for all the times he missed while he was away, couldn't help but put down his knife and fork, a troubled look on his face.

"Chaos, the legendary god of chaos..."

"Although Chaos is the god of chaos in Greek mythology, the Chaos we are facing is a deep-space mothership that created and separated the fleet of Zeus and the other twelve Greek gods—"

According to the information I hacked from Aphrodite's database, the other party is a colossal structure formed with stars from other star systems as its core, an interstellar mothership that absorbs all the energy of the stars, an extraordinary god that merges with the gaps in spacetime, and the celestial sphere-shaped spacetime fortress Chaos.

Given Aphrodite's mental state and the partial inconsistencies in her information database, this information may contain minor errors, but it should be sufficient as a general reference.

Gwen corrected.

Although compared to other science fiction works, Chaos, which requires stellar energy as its power source, seems a bit outdated.

However, considering that it is able to open inter-universe communication channels, it is unreasonable to say that the other party is weak.

Upon hearing Gwen's emphasis, the Chaldea trio's enthusiasm waned even further.

Although it doesn't seem to be any kind of god or anything, it absorbed all the energy of a star or something...

It seems to be an even more terrifying being than Tiamat, the Creator God we've faced before.

However, having fought her way through Singularity F, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not discouraged by this setback.

"So be it, a starship is fine. No matter how powerful it is, it will still have to run to our world."

The last human master rubbed his cheeks vigorously, forcing a relaxed smile.

"Moreover, the opponent's main body is not even in this universe right now. As long as we deal with Zeus and prevent them from contacting Chaos and opening the passage, the problem should be much simpler, right?"

Although Zeus, who also commands two chief gods, is not an easy opponent, he suddenly appears quite handsome compared to Chaos.

"Um!"

Mash nodded emphatically, a determined look appearing on her small face.

"The objective of the operation is to eliminate Zeus and prevent him from re-establishing contact with Chaos."

"Oh..."

Seeing the two little ones quickly cheer up, Dr. Roman couldn't help but chuckle, despite still feeling immense pressure.

At least, they did not lose faith in the face of such a terrible enemy and still maintained hope.

"Hmm, it seems you're in better shape than I expected..."

Gwen smiled and nodded.

"But there's no need to put so much pressure on us. Although the enemy is powerful, we are not without resources either—"

But for Zeus, it's a piece of cake.

As for Chaos—

Leave it to me.

"Gwen!"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Mash was immediately taken aback, her purple eyes clearly reflecting Gwen's carefree smile—

As Pseudo-Servant who has faced many powerful enemies, Mash knows very well how terrifying Zeus is.

Chaos, who could create something like Zeus even with insufficient energy... Mash found it hard to imagine how she could possibly fight against such a being on her own.

"You don't need to fight that kind of enemy all by yourself—"

Just like the senior said, wouldn't it be better to prevent the other side from opening the passage, or to cut it off once it's opened?

"...

Ha ha..."

After a moment of eye contact with the nervous little eggplant, Gwen let out a pleasant chuckle—

"Thank you for your concern, Mash, but don't worry, if I can't defeat them, I will of course settle for second best."

But before that, let me try, right?

Those guys who enforce so-called Interstellar Migration Navigation Treaty for their own survival are better off dead.

"Interstellar Migration Navigation Treaty?"

Gwen Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had a higher estimate of Gwen's strength and didn't think he was the type to do things without being sure of success, wasn't as quick-witted as Mash. Instead, she had the energy to focus on other information in Gwen's words.

"Well, in short, it's a tyrannical clause that allows that guy to justifiably take away four layers of Earth's volume—"

Gwen nodded in affirmation.
