What Kind of Type-Moon Is This!

Chapter 57: Fujimaru Ritsuka's Deviation from Normal Development

The two had more or less made up, at least in Roman's eyes.

It was just that Roman couldn't understand their way of interacting, but he had to sigh at Akuta Hinako's boldness. Setting aside the fact that Beryl was already dead, even if Beryl were alive, saying a single word in front of Bai Ming would be a mistake, and he would then be beaten to the ground, have his bones broken, or beaten half to death.

Roman had once thought that Beryl breathing in front of Bai Ming was wrong, but unfortunately, Beryl had died too quickly for him to verify this.

Seeing Akuta Hinako explode three times in front of Bai Ming, with blood splattering five steps away, Roman peacefully left the training room entrance.

There were seven days until the next operational meeting, and Bai Ming had scheduled these seven days tightly, with no intention of resting.

DAY 1: Dragging Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash to train together, urging the system to erase the consciousness of all the Japanese gods, and then refining them into pure mental and soul power to nourish his own spirit and soul, while also strengthening Olga Marie's soul state.

DAY 2: In the morning, to train Akuta Hinako and Fujimaru Ritsuka's command abilities, Bai Ming had Fujimaru Ritsuka use Mash as her Servant, and Akuta Hinako use Bai Ming as her Servant for a simulated combat command. Bai Ming fully witnessed what it meant for Akuta Hinako's command ability to be so bad it couldn't be propped up. Bai Ming had never lost since coming out of seclusion, but today he lost.

Bai Ming looked at Akuta Hinako in surprise, while Akuta Hinako looked at an empty space nearby with a guilty conscience.

The original training plan for the afternoon was canceled, and instead, Akuta Hinako was pinned down by Bai Ming in the training room for sparring all afternoon.

No one, whether Mash, Roman, or Fujimaru Ritsuka, knew the specifics of the process. They only vaguely heard things like "trash," "no spirit," and "useless Akuta Hinako." In the end, they saw Akuta Hinako emerge from the training room looking exhausted, not even glancing at the desserts before returning to her dormitory to sleep soundly.

DAY 3: Akuta Hinako's mental state showed significant improvement. Bai Ming arranged the training schedule for Fujimaru Ritsuka for the next three days and one rest day, then individually trained Mash's combat abilities. Mash had one-on-one battles with Setanta, Akuta Hinako, Kokuō, and Bai Ming, gaining considerable results. Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka was engrossed in a small notebook written by Bai Ming titled "What Do People Live For."

After reading it, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed in admiration. She had to agree with Bai Ming's idea that "all actions are merely to avoid death, all actions are merely to calm one's restless heart."

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought: To live is to find peace. Finding a job, earning money, and so on, are all ways to create a secure and comfortable environment for oneself. However, in the current situation of saving the world, her own strength was too weak, to the point where she couldn't even stand on her own and could only slow everyone down. She was weak, too weak. Weakness was the original sin. In this weakness, she felt no peace, only daily fear and anxiety.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Bai Ming beside her, treating Bai Ming's theories as gospel and regarding Bai Ming as her lifelong goal, actively joining Bai Ming's training.

For the remaining four days, Bai Ming did not add any more training for anyone else, only increasing his own training volume.

◇

Inside the training room, the basic training Bai Ming had prepared for her was already torture for Fujimaru Ritsuka. Moreover, Bai Ming's almost frenzied training beside her put immense psychological pressure on her.

Even when her mind wandered, Fujimaru Ritsuka dared not stop her training, as Bai Ming was even more desperate than her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's tight-fitting sportswear was soaked with sweat. Her shapely figure and slender, long legs were accentuated by the form-fitting outfit.

The youthful innocence and grace of a seventeen-year-old girl were on display in this fiery, steel-like training room. However, as one of the only two humans in the training room, Bai Ming had no intention of admiring the beautiful Japanese JK body. He continuously released his own magic, then used magic to apply pressure to his body, constantly washing his body with magic.

His clothes were already soaked, so Bai Ming had long since thrown them aside, revealing his chiseled, muscular physique.

The immense pressure caused Bai Ming's sweat to pour down, and even his expression was somewhat contorted.

But Bai Ming would not stop honing his physical body.

The seventeen-year-old Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a sense of unease. She was quite sure Bai Ming wasn't a masochist, but did saving the world really require this much effort?

So, she asked with a hint of worry, "Senpai... Are you really okay like this?"

Bai Ming did not reply, merely increasing the force with which he tempered his body with magic. He even diverted some of his magic to press down on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The girl let out a muffled groan, her body bending under the pressure, and a dull ache spread through her. Fujimaru Ritsuka instinctively wanted to cry out in pain, to escape this tempering of magic, but then she remembered the book "What Do People Live For" and thought: If I can't even endure this much, how can I pursue the power that brings me peace like Bai-senpai?

Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted her teeth and persevered.

Although her legs trembled, she couldn't stand steadily, and sweat poured down her like rain, completely soaking her tight-fitting sportswear, yet she did not escape Bai Ming's pressure.

Bai Ming was greatly surprised by Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions. He had never expected this novice magus, who knew nothing, to choose to forcefully endure such pressure.

Time ticked by, and Bai Ming removed the pressure. Fujimaru Ritsuka's body went limp, and she collapsed onto Bai Ming.

"I can still continue..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum. Bai Ming simply stroked her hair, which had already become lank with sweat, and said with unprecedented gentleness, "Too much is as bad as too little. It's already amazing that you've persevered until now."

Seeing Bai Ming like this, Fujimaru Ritsuka had many things she wanted to say, but due to exhaustion, she didn't even want to open her mouth.

Bai Ming, carrying the immobile Fujimaru Ritsuka, left the training room. After sending her back to her dormitory, he busied himself preparing saline solution and other nutritional supplements that should be replenished after training, feeding them to Fujimaru Ritsuka. He also called Olga Marie to cast healing magic on Fujimaru Ritsuka. Only after Fujimaru Ritsuka had recovered did he turn and leave.

He returned to the training room to continue his own training.

Olga Marie, who had been called out, sat quietly watching Bai Ming's training.

"He's really working hard—"

Olga Marie thought to herself, "Then what else can I do?"

Then, Olga Marie remembered the healing magic she had cast on Fujimaru Ritsuka earlier. She decided she should learn more different types of healing magic to provide timely treatment for Bai Ming during battles.

With this thought, Olga Marie said goodbye to Bai Ming and went directly to find Roman for some relevant medical books.

Chapter 58: The Second Human Reclamation Battle Officially Begins

Seven days passed quickly.

Akuta Hinako's mood remained unsettled.

Apart from the shame that burned her cheeks every time she recalled the title "Crimson Moon's Ferocious Divine Might, Roaring Poppy Future, Supreme Consort Yu," there was also Bai Ming's hellish training, which was devoid of any personal emotion.

Bai Ming's training for Akuta Hinako was on a completely different level than his training for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Whether it was command training and tactical thinking, or actual combat sparring, Bai Ming went all out to pummel Akuta Hinako to death.

It was fortunate that Akuta Hinako had the mindset of a shut-in for over two thousand years, otherwise her Dao heart would have long since shattered into pieces during training.

What made Akuta Hinako feel even more unbalanced was Bai Ming's attitude towards Fujimaru Ritsuka—she had never seen this man be so gentle.

They were both untrained; both trained to exhaustion every day; both not very talkative, only interjecting with sharp remarks occasionally. Why were they so gentle with Fujimaru Ritsuka, but so harsh towards me?

After training every day, he would carry the exhausted other back and prepare the necessary nutrients for timely replenishment. But for me? As long as I could still move, it meant my training was insufficient. Even when I couldn't move, I was told to just lie there, with Kokuō, who was cultivating nearby, keeping an eye on me. Where was the gentleness?

So, on the eighth day after the conquest of the first Singularity, during a strategy meeting, Akuta Hinako took the initiative to propose that she would go alone to conquer a Singularity. Bai Ming agreed without hesitation. But when Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to go alone to conquer a Singularity, Bai Ming refused without a second thought.

Akuta Hinako slammed the table and questioned, "Why is it okay for me to go alone, but not for her?"

Her angry voice startled both Roman and Da Vinci, who were attending the meeting. Bai Ming glanced at Akuta Hinako. "You, who are over two thousand years old, are competing with a seventeen-year-old? You've been on the battlefield before. At most, you're a bit weaker than the others in Team A, and your command ability is almost nonexistent, but you're still much stronger than ordinary people and most Servants. What's the problem with you going to a Singularity alone?"

"Damn it."

Akuta Hinako swore and turned to leave the control room.

It wasn't that Akuta Hinako didn't want to retort, but because what Bai Ming said was the objective truth. After all, she had endured from the Qin and Han dynasties of China all the way to the present. Although she usually acted like a comedian and a good-for-nothing, when it came to actual combat, she was indeed much stronger than others.

"You guys... still haven't made up?"

After Akuta Hinako left, Roman broke the awkward atmosphere.

"It's just like that, we can't even agree on the same thing," Bai Ming said, bringing the topic back to the main point. "The Singularity in Rome can be used for Ritsuka to practice. I'll watch from the side. Also, there's another matter regarding Fujimaru Ritsuka's self-preservation ability. The Holy Grail is ultimately an external object. As the saying goes, 'lean on a mountain and the mountain will fall, lean on people and they will run.' Roman, I'll leave Ritsuka's combat training to you."

"Understood..." Roman paused, then complained, "I'm the acting director appointed by Director Olga Marie! Why is it always you who leads the meeting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Olga Marie shot out of Bai Ming's body like a streak of light. "What Bai Ming says is what I say. My body is dead, but my spirit and soul are not."

Roman groaned in frustration, but his eyes couldn't hide his delight—he would have more time to spend with Magical☆Mellry.

"Oh dear, isn't this good? Doesn't Roman always say things like 'I'm so tired'?" Da Vinci interjected with a smile. "Bai Ming seems to have a lot of magic materials left, right? You've been busy training every day and haven't had much chance to use them. How about..."

Bai Ming lowered his head, his tone firmer than ever. He said, "Da Vinci, the profiteer, no negotiation. I will only provide you with the materials I collect on a regular basis. Anything extra, I'll save even if I don't use it."

Mash couldn't help but tease, "Is Senpai a hamster?"

Akuta Hinako, her mood having calmed down, returned to the control room with a handful of sunflower seeds and rejoined the meeting. "Although he's from the Southern School of the Golden Elixir Sect, he's a true Northerner and has a habit of hoarding things."

"He really is a hamster!" Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, then asked, "So, how much stuff has Senpai actually hoarded?"

Akuta Hinako and Mash exchanged a look, then both turned their gaze to Bai Ming.

If this person was so bored that he directly severed Japan's Age of Gods, then he must have hoarded a lot of things.

"Not much."

Bai Ming waved his hand. "This has nothing to do with the theme of this operation. The two Singularity points that need to be conquered now have been scouted with everyone's help. One is the era of Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus, and the other is Okeanos. Neither of them are difficult Singularity points."

"Wait, I can't do naval warfare."

The big girl from Hebei couldn't do water combat. Sending her to conquer this Singularity would be like sending her to her doom. "I'll assist Fujimaru Ritsuka in fighting in Rome. Bai Ming, you go to Okeanos."

Seeing Akuta Hinako's panicked expression, Bai Ming sighed. "I can do either. So, let's do it this way. I'll handle the resource issues. Since it's Okeanos, I'll bring back a lot of seafood. Mash will accompany me on this expedition to the sea. I only need to confirm the existence status of myself and Mash. The summoning circle's incantations and related supplies will all be provided to Ritsuka."

Roman worriedly asked, "What if something happens to you?"

For Roman, anyone could have an accident, but Bai Ming absolutely could not.

This was not just the concern of a friend; it was directly related to his grand plan of Romani Archaman finally not having to revert to King Solomon and retire through self-destruction.

"Nothing will happen to me, never."

Bai Ming stood up, preparing to end the meeting. "Also, Akuta Hinako's Command Spells are to be disabled under any circumstances."

"Why?"

"There's no 'why.' As the saying goes, 'unsolicited kindness is either deceit or theft.' Did Marisbury, out of sheer boredom, give you a Command Spell that could overturn the world but cost the caster their life? You should have some idea of what this bastard old son of a bitch is plotting, you silly girl. Also, Ritsuka's Command Spells can be used as needed. They recover one per day anyway, so might as well use them."

Bai Ming turned, spreading his hands. "Then the meeting is adjourned. Inform all units to prepare for the simultaneous conquest of the two Singularity points after a short rest. Da Vinci-chan, you can go back and prepare the supplies for Ritsuka. The second battle of the Human Restoration War begins now."

Tomorrow's shelf announcement, and a request for the first subscription.

How should I put it... this book, I don't know how it got onto the click rankings.

The day before my friend told me it was on the list, I had already been heartbroken by another friend's Type-Moon fanfic played on Tieba. I had originally planned to cut it, but with the sudden success, it became difficult to cut. After all, there are quite a lot of people reading my book, and cutting it would be a disservice to everyone.

(Honestly, I don't even know when I started writing this Type-Moon book; I've just been writing it confusedly until now.)

As for the future plans for the book, they are definitely there, so don't worry.

Now, let's do some research.

After all, as everyone knows, the basic foundation of Type-Moon, whether it's novels, anime, or games, has always been about things on Earth.

And more essentially, they are inseparable from the core elements of urban settings, fantasy, and romance. Like FSN, FSF, FA, and so on, most of them have romantic elements. As for the Lord El-Melloi II Case Files and Lord El-Melloi II's Adventures, they are too boring. And as for GOA, which is inexplicably somewhat melodramatic, I won't even mention it.

In short, the Type-Moon foundation is too small, so after discovering it was on the list, I made two plans.

1. Only write about Type-Moon itself. 2. Transition to general anime and manga later.

While asking for the first subscription, I'm also soliciting opinions from everyone.

That's all I have to say. Please subscribe! Please subscribe! Whether the author can survive, pay off old medical debts, and replace this old computer that's been used for five or six years depends on this book!

Okeanos and the Collapsing Rome

Chapter 59: Strip his pants and feed his... to the fish!

A.D. 1573

Bai Ming and Mash were transported to a pirate ship.

It was straight into combat.

Mash finally used her beloved shield-bash-and-hit technique again, while internally complaining that the little yellow rubber ducky life preserver Da Vinci had given them before they left was completely useless—no, perhaps it had been useful. After all, her senior had used his reinforcement magic to strengthen the life preserver, put it directly onto one of the pirates on the pirate ship, and then kicked the guy aside.

Because Bai Ming had given instructions beforehand, Roman was the one responsible for liaising with them this time. Roman was only responsible for chatting and teleporting, and monitoring the situation of the two of them. The rest of the personnel were responsible for Akuta Hinako and Fujimaru Ritsuka, along with Da Vinci.

After being thoroughly beaten by Bai Ming and Mash, the pirates on the ship finally became compliant.

Bai Ming held a mug of beer that the pirates on the ship had offered him and drank it, saying, "Honestly, wouldn't it have been easier if you'd just done this from the start?"

"Te-ten minutes! I'm terribly sorry!"

A pirate said fearfully, while Mash, standing beside him, had a cold expression. "Although I'm not good at fighting, considering the situation, with Senpai drinking and Doctor Roman watching Magical☆Mellry, I chose to use force to get the information!"

Although she felt a little uncomfortable with her senior drinking after beating them up, Mash believed Bai Ming must have had a deeper reason for doing so. Therefore, she said nothing and focused on handling the current situation.

"Can anyone tell me which sea area this is? And what's the current situation?"

"Ahhh!" A pirate nearby cried out, "Although I really want to tell you where we are, we actually don't know which sea area we're in ourselves! We drifted here without any clue, and then we saw you!"

Another pirate shouted, "Even maps and compasses have stopped working! So, why not just take things as they come and attack the prey in front of us first! Because that's what pirates do!"

Then, Bai Ming's voice came through, "In any case, I am your captain now! What should you call me now!"

The pirates cheered, "Captain Bai Ming! Long live! Chaldea Pirates is established!"

Seeing Bai Ming starting to mess around, Mash was stunned, then shouted, "Senpai! Be serious!"
