Dr. Roman: It's Back, This Flavor Is So Authentic

Although she didn't understand how Gwen conjured a person, as a knowledgeable Chaldea Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately recognized Seele as a living person, and a very gentle girl at that, and immediately went up to greet her warmly.

"Ah, Fujimaru Ritsuka- neechan."

Somewhat flattered, Seele and Fujimaru Ritsuka clasped hands, their fear of the unfamiliarity easing slightly once more.

It seems that, just as Gwen said, everyone here is a very nice person...

Seeing Seele's reaction, everyone present was certain of Seele's personality—

It's so easy to understand.

However, among all these gazes, Demeter's gaze was particularly ardent, almost making Seele think that she had done something wrong, and she was somewhat cautious when she came to Demeter.

However, compared to the cautious Seele, Demeter was much more enthusiastic, taking Seele's small hand in her own, a gentle divine power shimmering in her palm, causing Dr. Roman and the others nearby to twitch their brows—

"Is this a high-level blessing given right at first sight?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who has extensive experience dealing with deities, consulted Dr. Roman with her eyes.

"That's right."

Dr. Roman returned an affirmative look.

"You are such a gentle child..."

Demeter gently stroked Seele's soft hair, her face full of affection—

"I will try my best to teach you to master that ability in your body."

"Thank you, big sister."

Feeling her body seemingly strengthened by the light emanating from Demeter's hand, and noticing that Demeter's burning gaze held something gentler than the fervent adoration the researchers had shown for the precious white mice during the X-10 experiment, Seele gave Demeter a sweet smile.

"Yes, good boy."

Upon hearing Seele's address, Demeter's gaze paused slightly, but her loving aura remained unchanged, instead becoming even gentler.

Soon, Demeter took Seele and left the living room, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

"I feel... that Goddess seems to have some kind of special passion for Miss Seele..."

Sitting back down in her seat, Mash said hesitantly.

Mash naturally wanted to get closer to Seele, who shared a similar temperament with her former self, but Demeter clearly wouldn't give her that chance.

"That's right..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked thoughtful.

"Moreover, upon meeting, he proactively offered a rather high-level blessing..."

"There is indeed a problem."

Gwen also sensed that something was amiss—

While Demeter could be considered a benevolent Goddess when she wasn't insane, her attitude towards Seele was clearly overly enthusiastic.

And... he's too proactive, completely unlike his previous self who was easily distracted and lost in memories.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Having no ideas for the moment, Gwen decided to ask the omniscient and omnipotent True Root Shiki.

However, having finally found the unknown Ryougi Shiki, she clearly had no intention of continuing that miserable life of being omniscient and omnipotent—

"I'm sorry, but right now I can't see things I shouldn't see."

With an apologetic expression on her pretty face, Ryougi Shiki Gwen in apology.

Although she didn't take away Gwen's place in summoning Servants, but rather jumped out on her own, Ryougi Shiki knew that her choice would definitely reduce the things she, as Gwen's Servant, could do.

"If this is your choice."

Gwen, recalling that many Heroic Spirits with abilities like clairvoyance seemed to do the same, wasn't surprised. He simply said seriously—

"Although the probability is low, I hope you can break free from your self-imposed limitations when the time comes."

"... As you wish."

After exchanging a glance with Gwen, Ryougi Shiki smiled and nodded in agreement.

As Gwen said, she didn't think that with the strength and ability Gwen had shown, there was anything that required her to use her own special ability to gain an omniscient perspective.

But if that moment ever comes, she would be happy to help.

After all, she was his servant, and it was normal for her to do things against her master's will.

Having received Ryougi Shiki Gwen nodded slightly and continued their previous conversation—

"However, Demeter's attitude towards Seele couldn't have arisen out of thin air; there must be some underlying connection that we are unaware of..."

"According to the information we have, the Greek gods once fought a fierce civil war, in which most of the gods who opposed Zeus perished."

Demeter lost her daughter, Persephone queen of the underworld, in that war.

Could it be...?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Fujimaru Ritsuka as she recalled certain past experiences—

"Is it Seele's temperament or appearance that reminded Demeter of her deceased daughter, which is why she was so enthusiastic?"

"It may be that Miss Seele's gentle temperament amplified the childlike qualities and concepts within her, thus arousing Demeter's longing."

Inspired by Fujimaru Ritsuka's insights, Dr. Roman also offered his conjecture.

"But it's also possible..."

Seemingly influenced by the atmosphere of the discussion, Ryougi Shiki also offered her own conjecture, but compared to the other two, her conjecture seemed much worse—

"Did she sense the unusual aura emanating from Miss Seele, and under the influence of some underlying program, want to learn more about her, which led to her excessive enthusiasm towards Miss Seele?"

Chapter 621 Dr. Roman: You're back, this tastes just right!

Gwen could only say that all of their speculations were possible, and that it was almost impossible to confirm anything other than asking Demeter herself.

After all, Demeter's mental state was somewhat abnormal, making it difficult to directly guess the truth.

"For now, this isn't a bad thing for Seele— "

Gwen said——

"I believe you can also tell from her personality that she is not the type who is keen on fighting."

However, hiding behind us is not what she wants either.

If we can learn something from Demeter that allows her to play a role outside of the main battlefield, it would always be a good thing.

"You've really gone to great lengths to take good care of Miss Seele..."

Mash said with a sigh.

"It was just something I did on a whim..."

Gwen shook his head, steer the conversation back on track—

"Okay, let's get back to the main topic—"

Regarding the world's capacity, some data requires experimental assistance from everyone in Chaldea to obtain. We hope to receive your help in this regard.

"No problem."

Upon hearing Gwen mention this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately nodded emphatically.

"With Da Vinci present, we should be able to complete the experiment you need, Gwen."

Although her inner conviction has led Fujimaru Ritsuka to accept the fact that her campaign against the Fantasy Tree is destroying Lostbelt that have struggled to survive, her inherent kindness still causes her considerable torment and pressure.

Now that a future with the best of both worlds is possible—being able to defeat the Fantasy Tree without having to destroy the Lostbelt — Fujimaru Ritsuka is naturally eager to try it.

"Yes, the talents of an all-powerful person are naturally trustworthy."

Gwen nodded, glancing to the side—

When Demeter came out earlier, Adele and Macarios also came to the living room.

"As for the candidates, Adele and Macarios, are you willing to try being the ones who bear the weight of the world on your shoulders?"

"The one who carries the weight of the world?"

Having missed the previous conversation, Adele was somewhat unable to understand Gwen's meaning.

"In short..."

Gwen briefly explained what he needed to do next.

"To let the world... be contained within our bodies?"

Adele looked at the sky outside the window, then at her own slender arms, and felt a little dazed for a moment.

It was both because of Gwen's insane plan and because of the rich and varied future that might follow.

"Is this kind of thing... really possible?"

After understanding Gwen's meaning, Macarios hesitated slightly—

Despite living an unchanging life for millennia, and still possessing a youthful body, this boy, who looked even younger than Gwen and Fujimaru Ritsuka, found it difficult to accept this Tenma plan.

Even if Gwen could make Zeus wary, this kind of thing... is just too unbelievable, isn't it?

Gwen was not surprised by this.

After all, the idea of stuffing a world inside a human body is truly unbelievable until you see it with your own eyes.

Just as Gwen was about to explain to his little brother in Olympus what it meant for Honkai Energy to be omnipotent, and also capable of operating without Honkai Energy, Adele suddenly spoke up—

"I do."

Adele looked directly at Gwen with her turquoise eyes and said solemnly,

"If it's Gwen, I'm willing to cooperate with the experiment."

"Elder sister..."

Macarios wanted to say something, but thinking about what he was pursuing, it seemed that after destroying this unchanging world, he could see the changing future. Now, he only had one more possibility of continuing to live, so it seemed... there was nothing to hesitate about.

After all, this kind of thing obviously has to happen after Zeus's current rule is broken...

"But even if this were feasible, we still wouldn't be able to get past God Zeus, would we?"

Little Eggplant thought of Zeus again, the one she couldn't avoid before.

"Probably."

Gwen helplessly shrugged.

"Moreover, even if he agrees to the plan, I'm afraid he won't change his mind—"

Unless you completely defeat him, it's virtually impossible to get him to change his mind.

And coincidentally, what I'm best at is violence.

Gwen felt that the lightning resistance he had gained from Mei would be effective in the upcoming battle.

"And..."

Realizing his thoughts had strayed somewhat, Gwen quickly returned to the main topic, chuckling lightly—

"Even if Zeus uses the main body of his spaceship, I am confident in my ability to deal with it."

The Black Gloves fleet from the previous company was ultimately lacking in skill, Gwen wanted to test whether his Corona Sword could cut through Zeus's true form, which could buff him with a bunch of buffs.

Moreover... stacking mystery is a major feature of Type-Moon; he's already tried it with Type-Moon Heavy Industries, so there's no reason not to stack mystery as well.

I've already put aside past grievances and helped you clean up the Lostbelt my Counter Force, so shouldn't you enjoy the treatment of an outsider?

"Having a senior like you around really puts my mind at ease..."

Hearing the calm confidence in Gwen's words, Mash couldn't help but sigh.

"After all, the reason I've worked so hard to pursue power is for this."

Gwen laughed.

"Alright, now that Gwen net and the Grand Summoning is there as a backup plan, we can finally feel a little more at ease."

Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned back, exuding a unique sense of ease.

"Unfortunately, according to Mr. Pepe, there was a problem with the production of the Grand Summoning Device, so it seems unlikely that the Grand Summoning Ceremony will be able to summon the Grand Servant as scheduled..."
