The redness and swelling on his lips, along with the burn on his tongue, vanished instantly.

The numbness in his mouth also returned to normal.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a surge of emotion.

Finally…

Finally, someone who looked very friendly appeared!

And that person was full of masculine charm.

In just a short while, Fujimaru Ritsuka's good impression of Su Luo grew significantly.

"Master from Chaldea, I know why you've come."

"Please relax, Tiamat will not cause destruction to this world," Su Luo said with a light laugh, getting straight to the point.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash also became serious.

"Senpai, you know what the god Tiamat is like. As the Beast of Revelation, once she returns to the world, she will cause severe damage to the planet's ecosystem."

"She's just a clone now, having reined in most of her power, and won't harm the world."

"Besides, does she look like a god who would harm the world?"

As he spoke, Su Luo casually stroked the giant horns on Tiamat's head.

Tiamat, in turn, cooperatively displayed a friendly expression and affectionately wrapped her arms around Su Luo's neck from behind.

Seeing this, Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka fell silent.

They had believed, when they received this mission at Chaldea, that the one who would affect the continuation of humanity would be a ferocious, world-ending demon.

But seeing Tiamat's affectionate and loving demeanor, they couldn't help but question if such a woman could truly cause destruction to the world.

Just as the two were lost in thought.

A voice suddenly came from the communication device on their wrists, snapping Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash back to attention.

"Don't be fooled by him!"

"Tiamat is the second Beast who embodies the principle of 'Revelation,' and her very existence is extremely dangerous."

"Even if it's just a clone, the Servant Spirit readings we observed at Chaldea are immeasurably powerful."

"If Tiamat goes berserk, this world will surely face its end."

"Who will take responsibility then!"

The familiar voice echoed in their ears. Su Luo glanced at the device in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

That voice… if he wasn't mistaken, it should be Olga Marie.

Did she somehow survive that explosion?

Or have none of those events even begun yet.

However, if Chaldea hadn't been blown up, there should still be 47 Master candidates.

Why would they send a mediocre Fujimaru Ritsuka?

The thought flashed through his mind.

Tiamat, hearing Olga Marie's assessment of her, glared at the device in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand with a hint of anger.

She was worried Olga Marie's words would affect Su Luo's opinion of her.

What if Su Luo believed her, distanced himself from her, or even tried to send her back to the Imaginary Space?

What would be the point of her living then?

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a primordial beast.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Director, can you please stop talking?

If you keep going, I feel like Mash and I won't make it out alive.

Fujimaru Ritsuka prayed silently in his heart.

Fortunately, Tiamat, mindful of her image in front of Su Luo, did not act.

Su Luo reached out to comfort the slightly annoyed Tiamat.

"If Tiamat goes berserk, then let her go berserk."

"It doesn't concern me if the world is destroyed anyway."

At worst, he could take everyone he was close to and migrate to another world to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Moreover, with him present, how could Tiamat possibly go berserk?

Su Luo's utterly nonchalant statement nearly drove Olga Marie, who was in Chaldea, to death.

What kind of talk was that!

What did he mean it didn't concern him if the world was destroyed!?

Does the matter of the Second Beast, which endangers the lives of an entire world, have your personal approval to decide?

What's more, if Tiamat were to go berserk, the disaster would endanger the whole world.

You, who are in this world, can you still escape the fate of destruction!

Far away in Chaldea, Olga Marie was so angry she almost got into a shouting match with Su Luo. Fortunately, Romani and Da Vinci pulled her back in time.

Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.

The communicator remained silent for a long time.

In the living room, an atmosphere of silence and awkwardness began to spread.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash felt nervous.

They wanted to break the ice, but didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Su Luo who first spoke to break the somewhat silent atmosphere, rescuing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, whose toes were curling from the awkwardness.

"Has anything major happened at your Chaldea recently?" Su Luo asked.

Mash was startled and shook her head. "No, if you're talking about major events, it's that we suddenly detected an anomaly in this world's human history and were sent here by our senpai to carry out a mission."

Hearing this, Morgan, who was beside them, chuckled playfully.

"Sent you here on a mission? Are you sure your Director didn't just send you to your deaths because they don't like you?"

She could tell that Fujimaru Ritsuka's aptitude was very mediocre, and that Mash, a half-Servant, hadn't even mastered her own power.

Not to mention their own Servants.

Just for a major and extremely dangerous mission involving Tiamat, the Director of Chaldea sent these two amateurs. Were they out of their minds?

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately retorted indignantly, "Exactly! I'm just a Master with mediocre talent. Why are the other 47 Masters stronger than me, yet they sent Mash and me here?"

"Didn't I just accidentally fall asleep while the Director was speaking? Are they really sending me to my death for such a small matter?"

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little unhappy, she actually felt a bit helpless.

Because she knew her own limits, knowing that her talent was mediocre and incomparable to the other 47 Masters.

But for some reason, Olga Marie, without any explanation, chose her instead of so many capable people to carry out the mission.

However, she knew that Olga Marie wasn't the type to hold grudges.

Since she became the Director of Chaldea, and Chaldea was an organization that maintained human history and prevented human extinction, Olga Marie, as the Director, couldn't possibly be so indiscriminate, disregard the continuation of human history, choose revenge, and throw her into this dangerous world.

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed in her heart.

Chapter 61: Poaching "In Front" of the Director

After hearing Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka's explanation, Su Luo roughly understood the situation.

It was likely that the incident with Tiamat had prevented the bomber lurking in Chaldea from detonating.

Moreover, this sudden turn of events made Lev want to figure out what was going on.

Otherwise, if this incident affected Goetia's plan, he himself would be hard to forgive.

As Su Luo was thinking, Olga Marie's faint voice came from the bracelet on Fujimaru Ritsuka's wrist again.

"I know, I know!"

"I'll do it now, okay?"

Following that, Olga Marie cleared her throat.

She said quite seriously, "This... Sir, please forgive my previous rudeness."

"This matter is of great importance, and we at Chaldea must treat it with seriousness."

"Oh? Your so-called seriousness is sending two rookies to their deaths?" Semiramis raised her delicate eyebrows, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"..."

"Since I did this, I naturally have my reasons. Let's get to the point first, Empress." Olga Marie finally suppressed her emotions.

After all, she was now the Director of Chaldea, not that little girl who used to hide by her father's side.

She couldn't just act on her whims.

"So, how do you plan to handle this matter?" Su Luo gave Semiramis a look, signaling that he would take over, and then continued, "Let me make this clear, if you plan to use coercion or temptation, you can dismiss that idea early on."

"I don't like that kind of approach. If you push me too far, don't blame me for bringing these Servants and coming to Chaldea to have a face-to-face discussion with you."

"Who would try to coerce or tempt you? We're not really that foolish," Olga Marie said irritably.

Not to mention the other Servants around Su Luo, just seeing how close Tiamat was to Su Luo made it impossible for her to do anything to offend him.

After all, from his words, it was clear that he was not the kind of kind person who would let you manipulate him.

If you angered him, he would truly risk the lives of everyone in the world to blow up in your face.

Thinking this, Olga Marie took a deep breath. "What I mean to say is, we can cooperate."

"You provide aid when we are in danger, and we will grant you convenient rights when you need them, helping you resolve any unnecessary troubles."

To put it plainly, Su Luo could let Chaldea handle any trivial matters, and it would be fine to treat them as tools.

Meanwhile, Chaldea would only seek Su Luo's help when they encountered a crisis they couldn't handle themselves.

"The terms are decent, but I refuse," Su Luo said after a moment of thought, then flatly rejected.

"Eh? Why? We at Chaldea, after all..." Olga Marie was stunned, thinking Su Luo considered Chaldea's strength lacking, and quickly tried to explain.

However, she was interrupted by the King of Lions.

"Enough, shut up, Magus!"

"Cooperation can only be established when the strength of both parties is not too different, and the gap in our strength is too vast."

"Even if we had no backing, the conditions you propose would pose no trouble. No Magus within the Clock Tower would dare offend us."

"Even if someone wanted to cause us trouble, we could handle it ourselves. We'd eliminate the troublemakers and have the next obedient Magus take the position."

"Our strength is our right! We don't need your help at all!" The King of Lions unleashed her full aura, her tone cold and her words sharp.

This left Olga Marie on the other end speechless.

Su Luo nodded in agreement.

The conditions Olga Marie proposed were less appealing than having her work at his castle.

However, he might go watch the final confrontation with Goetia.

In that war, Fujimaru Ritsuka alone summoned all the Servants from the other seven Singularities.

Even excluding those already bound, he could gain a significant harvest.
