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

Their expressions became more and more surprised as they told the story.

"This……"

Mashu blinked her beautiful violet eyes.

"Senior, how could one suddenly fall into a deep sleep?"

"Well... maybe it's because I'm tired?" Mordred scratched his face and answered.

"I've tried it before because I was too sleepy to play."

"Then he began to doze off and ended up falling out of the tree he was sitting in!"

"..."

Ian shook his head.

"I don't think that's the case."

"After all, according to Fujimaru Ritsuka's description, they did not fall into a deep sleep gradually, but rather they 'suddenly fell into a deep sleep'."

"Mordred, you should understand the difference between the two, right?"

"That's it..."

Mordred nodded.

“It seems that they are indeed not the same thing.”

Listening to this conversation, Mashu pursed her chin and thought seriously.

Suddenly, she realized a possibility.

But the possibility was so absurd that she herself found it a little hard to accept.

Almost subconsciously, Mashu looked at Ian beside him, hoping to gain some courage to support her statement from his attitude.

But what the girl never expected was that when she looked at the man, he was already looking at her.

Mashu's face turned red immediately.

Then he said "Senior" in a panic and lowered his head.

However, Ian did not end the eye contact. He spoke:

"Matthew."

"I see you've been thinking about it for so long, you must have some ideas, right?"

"If you don't say it, it will be like wasting this time."

"But--"

Mashu hesitated.

"I think my ideas may be a little absurd and will be ridiculous to my seniors."

"There's nothing funny or ridiculous."

Ian looked directly at Matthew in front of him.

“Whether something is absurd or not is not determined by one person.”

“Only by expressing it and letting others participate in the judgment can we make a final definition of it.”

"Before that—"

"All thoughts are just speculations about it."

"Mashu, I don't want to see you fall into such self-doubt."

Ian's words gave the girl great courage.

She nodded and said:

"Then senior, let me tell you what I think."

"Go ahead."

"I think this is due to magic." Mashu directly revealed her thoughts.

"Magic?"

Mordred was puzzled.

"Where did the magic come from?"

"Hmm...I don't know either."

"but--"

Matthew looked at Ian in front of him.

As long as he is around, I will have enough courage.

“If the relevant magic was set up on the helicopter before it went out.”

"Can we achieve the effect we have now?"

"Set up the relevant magic on the helicopter?"

The more Mordred listened, the more confused he became.

"According to what was said at the beginning, wasn't that thing called a helicopter used to pick up Fujimaru Ritsuka?"

"Are you trying to kill her by setting up this kind of magic on top of it?"

"..."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mordred responded.

"Master, Mashu."

"Are you really going to kill her?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment and nodded.

"Well, based on the current inference, I tend to support Mashu's statement."

“But maybe we need to revise it.”

"It wasn't the helicopter that was being magicked, it was the people from Chaldea on the helicopter that were being magicked."

"Let them fall asleep at a certain moment."

The reason is actually not difficult to understand.

If a person suddenly falls asleep, it can be called a coincidence.

But if everyone, including the helicopter pilot, fell asleep, it would definitely not be that simple.

Wide range and high precision.

Basically, only magic can do this.

And because Fujimaru Ritsuka himself was not affected.

Therefore, compared to what Mashu said about "casting magic on the helicopter", a more reasonable explanation should be that magic was cast on someone other than Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But this raises a new question:

“Why do you do this?!”

Mordred shouted.

"Isn't she a candidate for Master, just like my Master?"

"Killing her on the road would go against the original purpose, wouldn't it? There would be no benefit at all!"

If even Mordred could figure it out, Ian and Matthew would certainly know it.

The man had thought about this a long time ago.

"It's very simple."

"Someone wanted to target her, but because Fujimaru Ritsuka was late, they could only kill her halfway in this way."

"but--"

"That person probably didn't expect that Fujimaru Ritsuka would be so tenacious... He didn't understand the operating principles of the helicopter, but he still managed to reach the sky above Chaldea."

"It's not just because Fujimaru Ritsuka has a strong vitality."

Mashu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"The efforts made by the seniors and the 'Servants' are also one of the keys to saving her."

"Probably." Ian smiled bitterly.

"I think it's her ability to take advantage of the terrain like that."

"Not everyone would dare to force a landing under those circumstances."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Mordred stretched out his hand, interrupting Ian and Matthew's singing in unison.

"Can you please stop talking to yourself and consider my feelings for a moment!"

"Who on earth would want to do this?! What good would it do to kill Fujimaru Ritsuka?! And wasn't she chosen not long ago?"

"Well, if we only contact her, this really shouldn't be the case."

Ian looked at Mordred in front of him.

"But if——"

“What if the target is actually a group?”

"A group?" Mordred looked confused.

"Yes." Ian nodded.

"Think about it, if you were going to kill everyone in a group."

"And there is one person who has not come yet."

"So Mordred, what will you do?"

"Then of course we have to find a way to kill the remaining one! Otherwise there will be hidden dangers, right?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Mordred came to his senses.

"Eh?"

“Isn’t this exactly the same as the current situation?”

"Master... are you trying to say that someone is targeting the entire group of Master candidates?"

"It seems that you are not completely unable to think of anything." Ian said with a smile as he looked at Mordred in front of him.

Because the target is all the Master candidates.

So even if Fujimaru Ritsuka did not arrive in Chaldea, he must find a way to kill her.

But the person who caused all this never expected that Fujimaru Ritsuka's will to survive would be so strong, and even less expected that Ian would help her without hesitation.

This is a vortex that has been stirred up.

And at the center of the wave was Ian himself.

Many things are changing quietly.

Just like what is happening now, the 49th Master candidate has "saved" the 48th Master candidate.

"This...this can't work!"

Mashu said with great worry.

"If someone is targeting the Master candidate, then wouldn't everyone, including Senior Ian, be in danger?!"

"Yes, Mash, you are right."

"Being a Master candidate may become a high-risk job."
