Homecoming

Entering the Relic Cafe, Ritsuka followed along this time, carrying her Spirit Origin Graph. Although there are some Servant in Chaldea now, the most important thing is to choose the right one, rather than focusing on combat strength.

This is why Atalanta and others weren't sent; a specific character like Anastasia, who could directly influence the course of the battle at crucial moments, was needed.

Therefore, Ritsuka and Bai Mo agreed that they should summon Servant in the Lostbelt after arriving there.

"It's hard to accept no matter how many times it happens. Chaldea spent a huge amount of money and resources to create the Spiritron Transfer device, and here, just visiting someone's place is enough to transcend the limitations of space."

"After all, he's a creation of Mr. Zelretch, who seems to be quite famous in your Magecraft world."

Bai Mo answered casually, and upon hearing this name, everyone in Chaldea responsible for assisting him was filled with respect. Olga Marie quickly gave Da Vinci a wink, and the staff below began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Didn't you say you seemed to have nothing to do with the Magecraft world? You call that having nothing to do with it?"

"I really don't know that!"

"No wonder such a thing exists; it's the Second Magic after all. That makes no difference."

"Hehe, I feel like my future is even brighter."

Bai Mo had no idea that his casual remark had stirred the hearts of everyone in Chaldea. As the Neco-Arc opened the door, Bai Mo and Ritsuka arrived at a fertile land.

Green hills and white clouds, rice paddies stretching for miles.

"Wow, this is beautiful. I wish I could buy all of this and bring it back to Japan. With so much rice, at the rice prices there... it would be more than enough to open a bakery."

Ritsuka sighed, while Bai Mo directly released his senses, leaving Salem, and his senses were no longer restricted. He then looked up at the sky, then at the Daichi around him, his right hand seemingly rubbing a non-existent beard on his chin.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong?"

"Something's not right about the development here, Ritsuka. Did you see those houses on the hillside?"

Ritsuka followed Bai Mo's gaze and saw several cave dwellings reflected on the hillside. They didn't even have windows and looked very simple.

"Have we landed in a remote area? I remember there should have been houses during the Qin Dynasty. But that's not strange, is it?"

"No, that's strange, in every sense of the word."

Bai Mo raised his head and looked at the technological artifacts resembling space orbits that were circling in the sky. This was a spacecraft creation that had never been realized in the Pan-Human History. Logically speaking, with such a thing, the technology here should be extremely advanced.

But what's going on? There are space orbital devices in the sky, but the people below are living in cave dwellings? This technological development is wrong.

Previously, due to insufficient supplies of Bai Mo and the Chaldea tragedy in Russia, there was no time to thoroughly explore the entire Great Qin. However, there were still checkpoints and similar structures in the vicinity, and although these crops were grown there, no one living in cave dwellings was seen.

Bai Mo didn't conceal his presence. Since he wasn't outside the Storm Wall, he naturally didn't need to worry about being discovered by that unknown Ultimate powerhouse. As for the locals, there was no need to worry either, since Chaldea and Lostbelt were no longer in competition.

In the sky, a video was transmitted to a strange city in the distance. A well-educated woman sitting at her desk pushed aside the mountain of documents in front of her, put on her glasses, and carefully examined the images of Bai Mo and Ritsuka.

"Chaldea... they actually came all the way here. Ah... well, at least it's a temporary escape from this damn job."

The woman stood up, staggered slightly, and her arm trembled slightly. She brushed the cobwebs off her shoulder and walked out of the room filled with documents.

"Saber."

As she finished speaking, a masked man appeared beside her. Also present was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a grandmaster's robe and wearing reading glasses.

"Ms. Hinako Akuta, have you finished your work for today?"

The old man pushed up his glasses, like a cold-blooded boss issuing orders to his most hardworking employee. Hinako Akuta threw the report in her hand like a boomerang, sending it flying through the air with a sonic boom.

But the old man caught it steadily, glanced at it, and said:

"I need to consult with my advisor, please wait a moment. Of course, this is not break time."

Hinako Akuta's molars made a terrifying sound, and seeing this, Saber comforted her, saying, "Master, let me help."

"No need. If I let you come, you'd likely be turned away. Besides, a few people from Blue Dream Company are no challenge for me."

Her hand bones cracked and popped, and the resentment emanating from her almost solidified. In the end, she returned to her room, still filled with resentment, and sat back down on the dusty chair.

Outside, Ritsuka, who had just finished setting up the summoning ritual, sneezed.

"Ah, Hagi, it feels like someone's got their eye on us. Could it be the doctor who just took leave? Come to think of it, it's really unfortunate that we don't have a doctor this time. It feels like something's missing."

"It's alright, Romani has already used up his vacation time for the next three years, so you'll be able to see him in the administration office every day from now on. But it is a bit strange, we haven't seen him clock out of Chaldea here."

Are you planning to spend your entire vacation holed up in your dorm playing video games?

At this time, none of the Chaldea noticed that Dr. Roman, who had asked for leave, had not come out since returning to his dormitory yesterday.

Everyone's attention was focused on the summoning circle that had been set up. After Ritsuka finished setting it up, she waved it at Bai Mo, who had just returned after patrolling around.

"Brother Bai, you've come at the perfect time. You go first and see if the Counter Force is as reliable as before."

Bai Mo nodded and slowly extended his hand, having previously replenished the Command Spell on it while at Chaldea. As magical energy surged and light emerged, a figure appeared before the two.

She was a rather short woman, dressed in an exaggerated, Chinese-style outfit, and seemed somewhat lacking in energy. Upon seeing her, Bai Mo felt a sense of relief.

He's at least a local.

However, as the Heroic Spirit introduced himself, Bai Mo's expression became subtle.

"Servant Caster, Xu Fu, has been summoned. Ah, so tiring. Why was I the one summoned? Boss, I'm just an ordinary Caster, not good at fighting at all."

Also, why do I look so strange? Is there something on my face?
