A cabin on the mountainside

In Ritsuka's room at Chaldea, the girl had just finished bathing and was fast asleep on the bed. Being a spirit who doesn't spend time with Earth is quite an energy-consuming job, but at least Hinako Akuta's swimsuit is nice.

Ritsuka had a smile on her lips, lost in thought, her mind wandering in her dream.

An alarm sounded on her communicator, and she sprang up like a dolphin. It was Chaldea alarm. Five minutes later, Ritsuka arrived at the control room.

"I'm here! Hmm? Everyone's here."

Inside the control room, Kadoc, Ophelia, and even Hinako Akuta overtime like a holiday slave, were all there. Only then did she belatedly realize that she already had seniors helping her with the division of labor!

"Ladies and gentlemen, recently some people have gone missing in Chaldea, some Heroic Spirit, and Mr. Goredolf. According to our tracking and analysis, this is a forced reverse summoning carried out by Spiritron Transfer."

Because Chaldea's operation requires the Heroic Spirit Summoning, Chaldea's space is quite unique. If sufficient conditions exist, Heroic Spirit can be transferred back from the space where Mr. Bai Mo resides.

As Da Vinci spoke, he showed the images.

"We've located it; this is the Singularity, situated in 1634 during the Edo period. While it's not a large Singularity in terms of scale, a reverse summoning has occurred, so to prevent further summoning, we immediately contacted you to establish communication."

Dr. Roman, who was standing nearby, explained that Circe's medicine was clearly very effective, and he had now fully recovered.

Although everyone was still looking at him strangely.

"Question: Why don't we use the invincible power of Solomon, the King of Magecraft?"

"There's no such thing, only Dr. Roman's support."

Roman answered Ritsuka's playful question, then pointed to the Singularity above and said, "Anyway, this emergency is to prevent you from being reverse-summoned. It seems that the scale of this Singularity doesn't even cover the capital city."

In terms of scale, it doesn't seem to be a troublesome Singularity.

"Quickly finish this, huh? I understand!" Ritsuka her hands, ready to act, but Kadoc and Ophelia stopped her.

"Don't rush."

"Yes, Ritsuka, you just took care of thirty Servant at the same time and are still resting. Let us seniors handle this Singularity."

Kadoc and Ophelia volunteered, saying that when Ritsuka faced Xiang Yu, she not only maintained Reines's magic power but also directly supplied it to Liu Bang and twenty-eight powerful Heroic Spirit. These Spirit Origin Avengers, but the consumption was still considerable.

Especially back then, they all fought with abandon.

"Seniors..."

Ritsuka was so moved she almost cried, while Hinako Akuta, standing to the side, pouted, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to.

"But can you handle it? I feel like something that can summon in reverse won't be easy to deal with."

"You rascal! Looks like I'll have to show you what a senior like me is capable of!"

Finally, Ophelia and Kadoc changed into their Chaldea combat suits and prepared to begin the Spiritron Transfer. Kadoc stretched his limbs and asked Ophelia:

Will Sigurd come too?

Ophelia nodded. Kadoc, upon hearing that the great hero, Sigurd, who could use some of the magnetic field-enhanced weapons, would also be coming, felt even more reassured.

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of. I investigated the Singularity that Ritsuka dealt with before; this is nothing compared to them."

"What did you say? Wasn't Ritsuka's previous Singularity report a fabrication by Sherlock Holmes?"

"Ah?"

Before Kadoc could even wonder what was going on, the two had already vanished.

Northern Europe countries

Early in the morning, Bai Mo opened his eyes, and the sleepiness in his eyes vanished instantly. Shi sat by his bedside, sunlight shining on her hair, her jet-black hair seemingly stealing the light.

Good morning, looks like you slept well over there?

After a while, Bai Mo placed two breakfasts on the breakfast table. Just as he was about to sit down opposite Shi, Shi patted the chair next to him and smiled:

"What's wrong? Are you sitting so far away because you don't want to explain why you're not coming home last night?"

"... I sent you Runes message."

"I haven't received that yet." Shi crossed her arms on the table, then smiled at Bai Mo. She took a small bite of the honey cheese; it tasted very sweet.

The Bai Mo Raven Runes did indeed arrive, but Shiki didn't even glance at it before having Chiyome kill it, so that she would have a reason to come over early in the morning to "demand an explanation."

"I'll forgive you this time because of the breakfast."

Bai Mo breathed a sigh of relief, though she didn't know why. Shi glanced at the scenery outside the window; the recovery in Northern Europe was progressing rapidly, with remarkable results thanks to the help of a group of Valkyrie.

"I just happened to be interested in going out for a walk today, and it's almost deserted in all of Northern Europe." After wiping the honey off the plate clean with the last piece of bread, Shi added:

"Stay with me."

Afterwards, Bai Mo placed a breakfast in Ortlinde's room. She was still fast asleep. As she had said, the dragon's power was immense, but it made it almost impossible for her to wake up in the morning.

I usually sleep until the afternoon.

"Breakfast is ready. Remember to reheat it if you wake up. I have to go now."

Bai Mo whispered these words and prepared to leave, while Ortlinde gave a soft "hmm" like a little animal, her lips curving slightly upward as she smelled the sweetness of the honey.

Leaving the room, Shiki said with a subtle expression, "So at least you know to say goodbye in person~"

"Shi, she's right next door. Okay, where would you like to go today?"

"A simple walk will do." With that, she grabbed Bai Mo's arm and pulled him away forcefully. The scenery in Northern Europe was beautiful, and walking through the woods, the tranquility made her feel very comfortable.

"Maybe I should get a place here too, so I can change my mood sometimes."

"I know a good location. I went there before when Sigurd and I were chatting. The scenery is beautiful. Sigurd said she would definitely take her to stay there if she had the chance."

But during this time, Brynhildr will also have to stay with her sisters, and this will be for a long time.

Upon hearing Bai Mo's suggestion, Shi raised an eyebrow, a subtle expression on his face. Then Bai Mo realized that using the two of them as an analogy wasn't appropriate.

"What I mean is that the scenery there is really beautiful, on a high mountain..."

"Don't explain." Shi reached out and pressed her hand against his lips. "Take me to see."

High up on the mountain, Bai Mo sat there. At that time, Sigurd said that he would build a small house on the other side of the mountain and welcome Bai Mo to come and be his neighbor.

This way, he could ask Bai Mo to convert the hot spring vent behind the building into a usable hot spring.

Here you can see the entire lake at the foot of the mountain, like a gem embedded in it. Unidentified wildflowers bloom on the grass, and behind you is a towering, majestic snow-capped mountain. A gentle breeze blows by, making you feel relaxed and at ease.

Not far away was the place where Valkyrie weapons were forged before. Bai Mo still remembered Sigurd's words there.

"She became like this because she fell in love with me, so I have a responsibility to take responsibility for her. Even if it means being pierced and hated by the other Valkyrie, I am willing to accept it."

This is the foundation of my happiness, and also my inescapable responsibility. Because I changed her life and forced her to start a new one, I must make her happy; this is my duty.

"Responsibility..."

Bai Mo exhaled, looking at Shi sitting on the rock, gently stroking her hair. He felt the heart beating inside her body, the frequency of which was exactly the same as his own.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about something."

"About me?"

Bai Mo nodded, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected that her casual remark would actually lead to this. She patted the spot next to her and said with a smile:

"Then sit down and think about it. Sitting closer might make it easier to figure out the answer."

"No need. It's a question with only one answer; there's nothing to think about."

"Then sit with me for a while?"

"... good."

"This place is really nice, and there's even a hot spring in the back. Let's renovate it and turn it into a hot spring inn. I'll stay here whenever I feel like it, and the Valkyrie here can come and relax too."

What do you think?

As the sun set, the two had already left, and on the mountainside, a brand-new, luxurious hot spring hotel sat quietly.
