"Meat? That's a good idea, much better than this junk food."
"Then, Master, please wait a moment. I'll cut off my tail and make you a meat dish right away."
After Kiyohime finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the kitchen, which startled Su Mo so much that his eyes nearly popped out.
He quickly grabbed Kiyohime's hand and pulled her back. Su Mo said to her with a look of horror, "Kiyohime, you don't have to. I like instant noodles, um... instant noodles are delicious. Keep your tail."
After a breakfast that passed without incident, everyone gathered in the control room. Besides Roman and the Director, Su Mo was surprised to find the treacherous merchant from FGO there as well!
"Good morning, Su Mo, Mash. Let me introduce you. This is Chaldea's pride and joy, the treacherous... no, the Head of the Technical Department, Mona Lisa!"
Roman had intended to say "treacherous merchant," but for some reason, he corrected himself subconsciously.
"What the heck? Mona Lisa? Isn't it Da Vinci?" Su Mo was completely shocked.
Roman provided the answer to Su Mo's question. He said:
"It is indeed Da Vinci. However, she has always pursued beauty, and the most beautiful thing in her heart is the Mona Lisa. So, when responding to the summoning, she played a trick and changed her appearance to that of the Mona Lisa."
"Alright Roman, that's enough with the introduction. Let's talk about work now." On the projection screen hanging from the ceiling, the Director had a serious expression.
Having lost her body and only remaining as a wisp of consciousness, Olga Marie could only stay within the maintenance device of the Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System to avoid dissipating. As for her ability to appear as a projection in various areas of Chaldea and converse with everyone, it was all thanks to Da Vinci's technology.
After explaining the current situation of Chaldea to everyone, the Director turned her gaze to Roman, signaling for him to continue.
"Director, this might not be right. I only served as acting director when you were away. Now that you're back, you should handle this."
"Romani, although you're not very reliable, you should understand Chaldea's current situation. Besides, I am no longer fit to be Director in this state. Therefore, I will pass the position of Director to you. Please, save Humanity's Order in my stead."
...Roman hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the Director's hopeful gaze, he let out a heavy sigh. "I understand. I will do my best to fulfill the duties of Director."
After taking over the position of Director from Olga Marie, Roman turned his gaze to everyone and said with a serious expression, "Although we have resolved the Singularity in Fuyuki, the future has not changed. We can only assume there are other reasons for this."
"Then, we used Sheba to observe the entire history of humankind and found seven other Singularities. Theoretically, changing the past could change the future. However, history has its own corrective force and will not be affected."
At this point, Roman paused and looked at Su Mo and Mash, his expression becoming unprecedentedly grave. "However, the seven Singularities we observed are different. They are all turning points for humanity!"
"If this war had not ended, if this voyage had not been successful, if this invention had encountered problems, if this country had not gained independence... events that cause large-scale historical impact are the ultimate choice points that determine present humanity. Failure would be equivalent to the collapse of the foundation of human history."
"And these seven Singularities are precisely like that. From the moment these Singularities occurred, the future was decided. Just as Lev said, humanity could not reach 2016. But we are different, because Chaldea has not yet entered that terminated future. Do you understand now? Only we can fix these mistakes and still have a chance to restore these collapsed Singularities!"
"Wait... I'd like to ask, how much longer can Chaldea hold on?" Su Mo interrupted Roman's explanation and inquired.
"2017. That's the final deadline we've observed. Your mission is to undergo Spiritron Transfer to these seven Singularities and restore history to its correct form. This is the only way to save humanity. By the way, if you cannot resolve it before then, Humanity's Order will be completely burned, and humanity will face true annihilation!"
Hearing Roman's answer, Su Mo and Mash gasped.
"Su Mo, do you understand how serious the problem is now? In other words, you bear the fate of the entire world. You are our last hope for humanity!"
Roman clasped Su Mo's hands and looked at him with extreme solemnity.
"Um, can I choose not to go? Aren't there 47 other Master candidates?"
"No, we depart now. As for the remaining 47 Master candidates, they were all severely injured and fell unconscious due to the explosion. Chaldea currently lacks the ability to perform surgery on them and could only put them in emergency cryo-stasis. So, you are the only one who can go, and the repair of the Singularities cannot be delayed any further."
Seeing Su Mo's mouth open wider and wider, Roman thought he was scared and quickly placed his hands on his shoulders, saying:
