A galaxy apart

Looking at her hands, Lavinia still couldn't quite believe that her shattered soul had been completely healed. Standing by the window of Chaldea, gazing at the vast world below, Lavinia was momentarily speechless.

"We need to pay attention to her mental state. How about we arrange for her to stay with us? I can look after her a bit from here."

Dr. Roman handed the test report to Bai Mo. Bai Mo nodded slightly. Within the system space, there was no shortage of experts who were well-versed in the soul, and with Shi present, this problem was basically nothing to worry about.

"Hmm, prepare a room for her. There seem to be quite a few child Servant in Chaldea, so this place would be suitable for her. As for Old Whateley and Lavinia's parents..."

Bai Mo looked at the doll that Lavinia was holding, which bore a resemblance to Abigail's "Yog." This was the doll that Abigail had given her before she left.

"Those poor, unfortunate people who were kidnapped may have lost their souls beyond redemption. But it's not impossible; it all depends on how long Abigail takes to learn. Lavinia, you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Lavinia nodded. Looking at the unfamiliar world below, the long-lost curiosity of her age resurfaced in her mind.

After helping Dr. Roman settle Lavinia's affairs, Bai Mo got up to lead her to the prepared room, but Lavinia remained staring intently at Russia in the distance.

"If you're interested later, you can go and see for yourself."

Lavinia turned her head, staring blankly at Bai Mo, and suddenly said:

"Um... are you a god?"

"No."

"But... humans can't do that, can they?"

"That's just your perception of what humans can't do, just like people in your time thought humans couldn't fly."

Lavinia gazed at the distant world and muttered, "Flying can't compare to this."

"Find her a good teacher."

"Don't worry, Lavinia does have some Magecraft talent, and she even has some connection to the Outer God. Those Casters will definitely be happy to have her."

Lavinia comes from a family of Magecraft, and Chaldea would welcome such talent from every angle. Furthermore, given their contact with Outer God, the inquisitive Casters would certainly find them very interesting.

Bai Mo agreed with this point. However, a voice of doubt came from beside him.

"What about all those Casters? Shouldn't I be the first person you think of when you think of Casters?"

Circe poked Bai Mo with her finger, looking somewhat disgruntled. Bai Mo found it amusing to see Bai Mo's sullen expression, as if she had been ignored.

Before he could speak, a girl dressed in a black and purple dress, looking like a little princess straight out of a fairy tale, ran towards him from a distance.

The girl warmly took Lavinia's hand. "You're our new neighbor? I'm Nursery Rhyme, just call me Alice. It seems you've had a very complicated story, but it's wonderful that it had a happy ending."

The tea party is ready! Come on over!

Lavinia was clearly taken aback by the Servant's sudden enthusiasm and was pulled away by Nursery Rhyme. Bai Mo watched the Servant's figure, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Looks like I don't need to worry about not having friends anymore. I'll leave the teacher's matter to you."

Roman nodded, and at the same time, Bai Mo, meeting Circe's gaze, placed his hand on her shoulder and spoke earnestly:

"If she turns into Magecraft who's good at potions and can turn people into pigs at the drop of a hat, I won't be able to explain it to Abigail."

This time, Circe couldn't help but avoid Bai Mo's gaze.

"Alright then, I'll have Medea do unpaid work later. That way she won't get in the way, which is perfect."

"Stop bullying your niece..."

The trip to Salem only took two days, but to be honest, being stuffed with a bunch of weird stuff by Yog and then dumped out made me even more exhausted than the battle with Nidhogg.

"Is everything alright? If not, I'm going to go and rest for a bit."

"Oh, that's all. Please make sure you get some rest."

After Roman finished speaking, Bai Mo Circe and disappeared. Circe grabbed Roman, who was about to leave, and asked:

"My room hasn't been decided yet, right? Which room is Bai Mo's? Tell me quickly."

Roman raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Circe had already swiped his finger across his tablet, searching for each item. He quickly spotted the sign for Bai Mo's room and then vanished in a flash.

"Um... although we arranged a room for Mr. Bai Mo, he basically doesn't stay here..."

Olga Marie always kept a room for this Chaldea shareholder, but Bai Mo was rarely there.

"Oh well, I still have to deal with this report... Oh no, it's almost time for Mery's broadcast. I'll finish the report tomorrow."

Back in his room, he turned on his computer, and a familiar figure appeared on the screen. Dr. Roman expertly sent a greeting message. However, not long after, there was a knock on his door.

"Huh? Oh no, could it be the director?"

Roman quickly muted his phone and created a new document. He then opened the door, but instead of Olga Marie, the Queen of Sheba appeared with a subtle smile.

"Hello, I am the Queen of Sheba, summoned by Ritsuka. I happen to see one of your company's employees who looks familiar..." The Queen of Sheba smiled and squinted at Dr. Roman before her, her gentle words as chilling as ice and snow.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Roman hurriedly tried to close the door, but unfortunately, even with D-level strength, Dr. Roman, a human, was not someone who could resist it.

With a bang, the door was pushed open by the Queen of Sheba, and Roman plopped down on the floor, watching helplessly as this woman freely entered and exited his room.

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost, Dr. Roman... or rather, Solomon?"

"Ritsuka... why are you in such a hurry to summon her...?"

At this moment, Ritsuka was unaware that she had just completely ended Dr. Roman's last good days. She looked at Bai Mo, who had been sitting in front of the summoning circle for some time.

"That shouldn't be happening. With your level of affinity, Brother Bai, you should be able to summon it directly even without using Holy Relic. How could this be?"

And speaking of which, it seems the Heroic Spirit of the fallen heroes from Greece haven't responded at all...

At this point, Bai Mo was also somewhat confused. He even used the arrow of Heracles that he had saved before, but he didn't see a single Servant, let alone any of the crew on the Argo.

The Queen of Sheba was summoned by fate, while Circe was brought back directly from Salem.

"Sigh, continuing to waste resources isn't a solution. Let's stop here for now."

Bai Mo stood up, a hint of regret in his eyes, but his words remained calm. Ritsuka somewhat surprised; she knew very well that Bai Mo wasn't the type to give up easily.

Finally, he spoke:

"In the end, I will definitely bring their souls out of the Heroic Spirit Hall. I don't want them to keep getting involved in the Holy Grail War or becoming tools for the Alaya Consciousness because of something."
