My life is over!

Watching the motorcycle speed toward her, Olga Marie felt as though she could hold her own funeral any moment now. Though, technically, that would not be wrong.

But the speeding motorcycle suddenly pulled off a dragon-tail drift and came to a stop right in front of Olga Marie.

Olga Marie was probably less than a centimeter away from the motorcycle.

At that moment, Olga Marie felt that part of her body had gotten a little wet.

Yes, her back. Don't get any strange ideas.

"Look, everyone, what did I find? A lone Director?"

A familiar voice came from the motorcycle, snapping Olga Marie back to her senses.

"Mo... Mo Wang?" Olga Marie called out uncertainly.

"Yo, my dear Director. Did you miss me? Aren't you deeply moved to see me in a place like this?"

Mo Wang took off his helmet and called out to the dumbfounded Olga Marie.

However, what greeted Mo Wang was not the Director's tearful, moved expression, but her eyes turning red with fury.

"Mo Wang! You bastard! Do you know you nearly killed me just now?!"

Olga Marie's tiny fists kept landing on Mo Wang's body, looking as though she wanted to pound him into Chaoshan beef balls.

"D-Director..."

Mashu, who was sitting behind him on the motorcycle, timidly called out to Olga Marie as well.

"And Mashu too? Wait, what exactly is going on? Why is Mashu dressed like this? Mo Wang, don't tell me you..." Olga Marie immediately stared at Mo Wang like he was human trash.

"I feel like I've already gone through this conversation before. Why are you saying exactly the same thing as Roman? What kind of image do you people even have of me?!"

Mo Wang could only tell Olga Marie everything that had happened earlier.

But after hearing the explanation, Olga Marie became even more agitated.

"What did you say? Mashu became a Demi-Servant? And you even became a Master? How is that possible?!"

Olga Marie looked at Mo Wang as if she had seen a ghost.

What? Mashu was actually a Demi-Servant?

What? Mo Wang had actually become a Master?

What? This was actually Fuyuki City?

What? Mo Wang actually brought Mashu here by fighting his way straight through?

The flood of information nearly blew Olga Marie's mind apart.

"That's not right! Only first-rate magi are supposed to become Masters! You're the guy I have to personally wake up for exams—why do you get to become a Master? What weird method did you use?"

"Huh? Only first-rate magi can become Masters?"

Mo Wang listened to Olga Marie with a baffled look on his face.

Wait, had his information been wrong?

Why did he remember that in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Fifth Holy Grail War, and all sorts of other bizarre Holy Grail Wars, third-rate magi being Masters was the norm?

People like Waver Velvet and Ryuunosuke in the Fourth Holy Grail War, or Shinji and Emiya Shirou in the Fifth Holy Grail War—some of them could not even use magecraft. Those counted as first-rate magi?

Looking at Olga Marie's suspicious gaze...

Well.

Mo Wang decided that he was indeed a first-rate magus. That was right!

PS: After thinking about it carefully, it seemed authors did not really get vacations in the true sense. In other words, as long as I kept writing, could I even work all 365 days without a break?

Mo Wang's Special Advantage Against White-Haired Girls

Olga Marie: Do you think you're a top-tier magus?

Mo Wang: I think I am.

A week ago, Mo Wang might have been a useless slacker.

But after a long period of "hard work," Mo Wang could now proudly say that he was a top-tier magus.

What? You're asking why, as a magus, he only knew two spells?

Then let me ask you. Let me ask you.

What spells do you think a top-tier magus should know?

As Mo Wang was now, even using only Reinforcement Magic, he could beat every magus on the other side except Magicians into idiots.

I can already beat them up, so why am I not a top-tier magus?

"You!" Olga Marie wanted to say something to Mo Wang, but the words reached her lips before she swallowed them back down.

"Alright, alright, my dear Director. At a time like this, we should hurry to the Ley Lines. I'm sure a magus from a distinguished family like you wouldn't stoop to arguing about this with someone like me, who barely knows any magecraft."

"By the way, Director, I know absolutely nothing about Ley Lines. I'll leave the leading to you from here on out. No problem, right?"

Mo Wang looked at Olga Marie and said with a cheerful grin.

He had plenty of experience dealing with this kind of white-haired, hopeless tsundere.

Dealing with someone like this was like dealing with a cold, aloof cat. As long as you went along with her, she would talk herself into it.

"Hmph! Naturally. I am a magus of the Animsphere family. I'm not comparable to some self-taught nobody like you." Hearing Mo Wang's words, Olga Marie immediately turned her head away with a huff. Looking closely, her face was even a little red.

"I told you long ago to listen properly whenever I explained that sort of knowledge to you. Now do you see? You don't even know something as basic as Ley Lines."

"Leave the leading to me! You just make sure to take good care of Mashu, understand?"

"Senpai, that was amazing! You made the Director calm down just like that!"

Mashu looked at the now-calmed Olga Marie in surprise.

Everyone in Chaldea knew how difficult Olga Marie, the second Director, was to get along with.

Not only was she as short-tempered as a powder keg that exploded at the slightest spark, she was especially hard to approach.

Within Chaldea, aside from a handful of people, practically no one could get close to the Director.

Yet just a few words from Mo Wang had calmed Olga Marie down.

"Hehe, relax, relax. The Director is just under too much pressure. She's actually a pretty good person."

Mo Wang said with a smile.

Actually, if it were him, and his father had dumped both the Clock Tower and Chaldea on his shoulders, while he was a magus without the talent to become a Master and had to endure everyone's scorn every day, he would probably explode at the slightest provocation too... Well, probably not explode. With his personality, he might end up slacking off even harder than he did now.

"Let's go. Fuyuki City's Ley Lines should be nearby."

Olga Marie composed herself before speaking to the two of them.

Before long, they crossed the streets and arrived at the Tohsaka Family, one of Fuyuki's Ley Line locations.

The moment he saw the Tohsaka Family residence, Mo Wang could not help pulling out his phone and starting to take pictures.

"Senpai, what are you doing?"

Mashu looked at Mo Wang, who had taken out his phone and kept photographing someone's house, utterly confused.

Her Senpai was always doing things right in front of her that she could not understand.jpg

"No, no, no, Mashu, you don't understand. You have no idea—this house in front of you is a famous pilgrimage site. Back then, a certain gymnastics champion and a certain King of Light Bulbs put on a rather splendid performance here. It's a place you absolutely have to visit during a Holy Grail War."

Mashu:?

What was this person even talking about? She understood every word individually, so why could she not understand them when they were put together?

"Just ignore him, Mashu. You know he often has something wrong with his brain," Olga Marie said from the side, already completely used to it.

Even in Chaldea, this guy often said things no one could understand.

It felt as if his brainwaves were not on the same channel as normal people at all.

"Director, come to think of it, the Tohsaka Family is a distinguished magus family too, right? If we go inside and look around, do you think we might find something rare?" Mo Wang looked at the mansion before him, subconsciously rubbing his chin as he spoke to Olga Marie.

"Director, please don't misunderstand. It's not like I want to steal anything."

"I just think that since there's no one else in this Singularity anyway, if we go into the Tohsaka Family home and find something useful, nobody else will care, right?"

"I think you should give up on that idea." Olga Marie mercilessly called out Mo Wang's little scheme.

"Not to mention that important items are unlikely to exist in a Singularity, even if they do, they would not be in this family."

Olga Marie recalled for a moment before saying, "Although the Tohsaka Family is also a distinguished magus family, it declined long ago. From what I remember, the current head of the Tohsaka Family has even reached the point of needing a part-time job to make money. I find it hard to believe there would be any important items in this household."

"Wow, Director, you really don't hold back with your words."

Although Mo Wang knew Olga Marie was right, after the war to the death, the Tohsaka Family had basically remained chronically broke for a long time.

Not to mention that their magecraft was among the most expensive types of magecraft there were.

The kind where each use cost at least several hundred thousand yen.

Originally, Mo Wang had wanted to go inside and see if he could find something like the Jeweled Sword, or that token of love used to summon Red A.

But thinking about it now, those two items were probably on Shirou and Rin, so there was an eighty percent chance this lousy Singularity did not have them.

It seemed his plans to steal an Avalon from the Emiya Family would have to fall through as well.

Still, Mo Wang did not care too much. Those things were not particularly useful to him.

Even if he found them, he would probably only keep them as collectible figures.

He might not even be able to take them out of the Singularity.

But just because he could not take anything out this time did not mean he could not do so in the future, right?

By now, Mo Wang had begun considering what collectible figures he could grab and bring back next time.

Come to think of it, Joan of Arc's grave had apparently already been dug up by Marshal, so he probably could not go grave-robbing there anymore.

But perhaps France had some other graves worth digging?

Maybe after returning, he should look into whose graves he could dig up.

Mo Wang had already decided that once he got back, he would make himself a Tomb Raider plaque.

Then later, he could give those people a proper lesson on what a professional Tomb Raider was.

A Slacking Doctor Deserves No Sympathy

"FBI! FBI!"

At the entrance to the Tohsaka Family mansion, Mo Wang sent the Tohsaka Family's ancestral front gate flying with a single kick.

Both his movement and behavior left the two women behind him with countless things to criticize.

Fortunately, even Mashu had developed some resistance to Mo Wang's behavior by now, so she did not complain on the spot.

This complete lack of anyone calling him out made Mo Wang feel rather bored.

Under Olga Marie's direction, Mashu successfully set up a summoning circle using her Noble Phantasm as a catalyst in less than two minutes.

Several dazzling lights lit up from the center of the shield, and communications from Chaldea connected.

"Calling, calling. You should be able to hear us, right?" Romani Archaman, who had been waiting in front of the control room, immediately began speaking. "Come to think of it, you people really are fast. I only just finished checking the underground power plant."

"Roman? Where's Lev? Why are you the one in command?" Seeing that Lev was not displayed on the screen, Olga Marie immediately grew agitated. "Get Lev over here!"

"Huh? Director?!" Roman looked surprised when he saw Olga Marie.

But that surprise quickly turned into grief.

"I'm very sorry, Director. An explosion just occurred in Chaldea, leaving only twenty employees alive."

"And Professor Rafe was right in the Central Control Room, the center of the explosion, so he may already..." Roman did not finish his sentence, but the meaning could not have been clearer.

"How could this be?" Olga Marie covered her mouth in disbelief. Lev Lainur was undoubtedly the person she trusted most in Chaldea.

Upon hearing that Lev might already be dead, her legs immediately went weak, and she nearly fainted.

"Calm down, Director. I think Professor Rafe probably isn't dead yet."

Seeing this, Mo Wang hurriedly supported Olga Marie.

"Is that... true?" Olga Marie stared blankly at Mo Wang, hope seeming to rise in her eyes.
