In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

Ian heard that familiar group again.

He asked tentatively:

"Are all the people in Group A quite powerful?"

"Yes!"

"How powerful is it?"

"I don't know about that..." Mashu answered matter-of-factly, "But it is said that anyone who can enter this group is like a monster."

"only--"

"Just what?" Ian demanded.

"It's just that I'm in Group A, but I don't feel like I deserve the title of 'monster-like existence' that everyone says."

“So I am still skeptical about this statement…”

Mash's voice became quieter and quieter.

Obviously, she felt a little uncomfortable about being in Group A after she mentioned this.

Ian thought about it and began to comfort her:

"Then I think this name for Group A is probably quite accurate."

"Eh?" Mashu blinked her beautiful purple eyes, "What does this mean?"

"Oh... it's very simple."

Ian looked at Matthew with a friendly smile and said:

“Isn’t it possible that a monster-level of kindness exists?”

"this……?"

Knowing that Ian was comforting her, Matthew felt even more embarrassed.

She lowered her head, looking very shy.

And Fu Fu, who had been lying on her shoulder, started to act sarcastic at this time.

"Fufufufu, Fufufuwu, Fufu (What a first-rate ability in socializing with the opposite sex. Even I, Fufu, feel inferior to her)."

"That's not as good as you." Ian couldn't help but reply, "You just said that all the women in Chaldea know something about it."

"what?"

Mashu looked up with a blushing face.

"A woman of Chaldea? What does that mean?"

"nothing."

Ian glared at Fufu, then returned his gaze to the girl in front of him.

"Mashu, can I ask you another question?"

"of course can!"

Because of the comfort just now, Mashu's impression of Ian changed from a rogue senior at the beginning to a rogue senior who can comfort others.

"Excuse me."

"I heard them mention the terms 'magic', 'Master', and 'Servant'. What are they exactly?"

"what?"

Mashu looked confused.

"Shouldn't you, Senior, know more about this kind of thing than I do?"

"..."

Ian didn't try to be pretentious.

He directly acknowledged his problem.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know enough about this, so I really hope you can help me, Mashu."

"This……"

Mashu was silent for a while, and then she smiled sympathetically.

"I understand."

"Then please allow me to help Senior Ian understand all of this!"

"This is really great."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief—he was right.

Mashu is indeed the kind of person who lets down her guard once she gets to know someone.

In this case, even the absurd fact that the "monsters of Group A" do not understand these basic concepts can be selectively ignored.

Is this what they call pure natural?

but--

Nothing bad either.

If Mashu can help me understand all this, I will have to thank her very much.

After all, this is an action that affects future goals.

Just as Ian was organizing his thoughts, he suddenly felt his hand being pulled.

It was Mashu who grabbed his hand.

"Mashu, what are you doing?"

The girl blushed, but still said firmly:

"Senior Ian, it's too difficult to just explain the concepts!"

"Since you want to understand all of this, let's experience it most directly through a simulated battle!"

91. 'Monsters of Group A' are speedrunning in a simulated battle (-word chapter)

"Mock battle?"

This was another term he had never heard of before, and Ian couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned enough and had already explained his predicament to Mashu in detail.

So now, even if you encounter something you don’t understand at all, you can just ask.

"Mashu, what is a mock battle?"

"Hmm... it's a bit difficult to explain."

Mashu glanced at the time display in the aisle and suddenly exclaimed.

"Oops!"

"I've been busy looking for Fu Fu. If I don't hurry up, I'll miss the mock battle!"

"Eh, huh?"

Before Ian could react to what was happening, Mash grabbed his hand and started running.

As a result, the two of them walked hand in hand along the passage of Chaldea.

All the staff on the road were looking at them without exception.

It couldn't be blamed on their lack of manners - after all, Matthew looked so impatient that if you didn't know better you would think she was taking Ian to a half-price couple hotel.

After running for a long time, she finally stopped.

"that--"

Just as Mashu was about to speak, she noticed Ian's helpless look.

When she was wondering why this happened, she suddenly saw herself and Ian holding hands.

"Eh--!"

Mashu withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and then apologized with a red face.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!"

"I just want to bring you here quickly. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up with the opening time of the simulation battle!"

Looking at Mashu who kept bowing and apologizing to him, Ian felt like he was the one who took the initiative.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to reach out and put his hand against Mashu's head to stop her movements.

In the other party's astonished eyes, Ian said:

"Don't apologize, I know you didn't mean it."

"Senior Ian..."

Mashu smiled as her forehead was pressed against hers.

"Well...that's great."

"Fu Fu Fu? Fu Fu Fu (You still say you don't have any thoughts in that regard? You are such a sinful man)." Fu Fu's complaints came on time.

Ian gave Fu Fu an unpleasant look and decided not to bother with it for the time being.

“Mashu——”

He withdrew his hand from the girl's forehead.

"Is there a time limit for this simulated battle?"

"Yes!"

Mashu nodded very seriously.

"Because it is not simply to perform some basic calculations, but to thoroughly control the entire process to achieve an actual combat effect."

"This process will place a heavy burden on Chaldea's systems."

"so--"

"Only people like Ian who have the potential to become a Master can obtain the right to conduct mock battles at a specific time!"

Having said that, Mashu looked up at the time display above.

"Right now, there's probably still about an hour left."

"Uh……"

Ian hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Mashu, although this may be a bit shocking to you, but since there is still an hour left, there is no need to be so anxious just now, right?"

Mash shook her head.

"Senior, you can't understand it this way."

"In order to allow the Masters to achieve as much coordination as possible with the Servants, the simulation battle is set to be a very long process. It takes a full ten minutes just to load!"

"...Can't you confirm that it's not a configuration?"

"what?"

"Nothing!" Ian changed the subject. "Then Mashu, let's hurry up. It will be troublesome if we are too late later."

"OK, all right."

Ian followed Matthew through the door in front of him.

Behind it was a long, dark, straight corridor.

The girl's voice sounded from the front.

"Before we go in, let me explain to you what a 'Master' is."

“It’s not a complicated concept.”

"In Chaldea, the qualification to become a Master is measured by one's adaptability to spirit particle transfer."
