The door opens.

Ian walked into the room pretending to know nothing;

And Olga Marie just looked at him as if she had done nothing.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

"..."

"..."

"What do you want to ask?" Olga Marie took the initiative to break the mysterious silence.

She still has a good impression of the man in front of her.

After confirming that the young director had not lost his mind because of those little things, Ian decided to communicate with her in a normal way.

All came in.

Of course it's impossible to do nothing.

Let's put other things aside for now.

"Director, I disagree with the results of today's investigation."

"Ok?"

Olga Marie frowned slightly.

"What objection do you have?"

"Isn't this a fact that fits Chaldea's needs in every aspect?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"Director, others may not understand, but I am different."

"Regarding this matter...I cannot accept your explanation."

"..."

Olga Marie's expression became a little complicated.

She was silent for a long time before she managed to say:

"What's unacceptable? I think it's quite reasonable."

"I have reviewed the investigation results several times...there is nothing wrong with it."

"And you should have seen my report on the incident in the conference room just now. Isn't it reasonable? Professor Leif's investigation is perfect."

"Time, evidence, criminals, everything we need is here."

“On the surface, that’s certainly the case.”

Ian looked directly at Olga Marie, who was wrapped in a coat.

"But Director, you should also know that there are many unclear logical points here."

"If we do it so hastily, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty?"

You should know that the helicopter that went to pick up Ritsuka Fujimaru took off directly from Chaldea in Antarctica.

If it is true as Olga Marie said, it was a "targeted attack" by an "external organization".

Then this organization must not only be proficient in magic, but also be aware of the existence of Chaldea and have a thorough understanding of the process of recruiting Master candidates.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to know about the helicopter pick-up, let alone perform magic on it.

Is this possible?

Indeed there is.

But it's so pitiful.

In comparison, it would be even worse to just kill Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of the inspection vehicle right from the start.

and so--

A more likely possibility is that the helicopter was tampered with before it was sent out.

Thinking in an extreme way, it is even possible that Anderson had just reported that he had found Ritsuka Fujimaru in the city when the helicopter was cast into a spell.

In any case, this is not something that should be explained away by “external organizations”!

Olga Marie felt a little guilty about what was said, but she seemed to still be worried about something.

She was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

"Ian, I understand where you're coming from."

"But Professor Leif has been in Chaldea for more than ten years, and he is very serious about his job."

"I believe he will have no problem this time."

Ian shook his head—he wasn't about to back down.

"It's always been like this, right?"

"Director, you should be able to sense that the truth of the matter is not like this, right?"

"I……"

Olga Marie looked like she wanted to refute Ian, but her lips trembled for a long time, as if she stopped because of some unspeakable secret.

The young director didn't seem to be good at dealing with this kind of questioning.

Her hand rubbed nervously on the handle of the chair, and finally accidentally touched the switch hidden in her coat.

buzzing.

A strange sound echoed in the room.

Ian knew what it was.

Olga Marie knew what it was, too.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became awkward again.

At this moment, Ian didn't know what to say.

Knowing what's going on under the other person's coat, it's basically impossible to argue with him as I did just now.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave for the time being.

Wait until Olga Marie is done with her "work" before coming over.

"Director, I'll come back to discuss this with you later."

"but--"

"Please be a little more restrained. It's not good for your health to talk so much."

"..."

Hearing this, Olga Marie's face instantly turned red - she knew that the other party had already understood what was going on.

Ian expected her to have a very violent reaction.

But this is not the case.

Olga Marie looked at the man in front of her with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Then Ian."

"In that case——"

"Can you please stay with me?"

178. Ogalmarie Wants to Relax/Chaldea Dilemma (4k)

"..."

If Olga Marie usually gives people the impression of being confident and decisive.

So the way she looked sitting on the chair at this moment was completely different from her usual self.

Her body was shaking from the beating, but there was no sign of enjoyment in her eyes. She looked more like an office worker who was physically and mentally exhausted from mechanically executing some kind of order.

This made her look listless, and she completely lacked the confidence that a leader of Chaldea should have.

Ian realized that something was wrong.

He has to stay.

"I understand."

"Since you said so, Director... I have to stay no matter what."

Having said this, Ian first closed the door of the director's office.

After making sure that no one outside could see what was going on inside, he went straight back to Olga Marie.

"Commander, I'm sorry."

Ian reached out his hand and felt for the switch inside Olga Marie's coat.

He paused for a moment as these little things were stuffed into the director's garden.

"what are you doing?!"

Olga Marie, feeling the trembling stop, looked at the man in front of her.

"Why stop?!"

"..."

Ian looked at the director who was trying to snatch the circuit breaker from him and put his hand on her head.

"Director."

"If I'm not mistaken—"

"You're not actually using it for self-soothing, are you?"

Olga Marie's eyes widened a little for a moment.

That is the performance that was said.

"Ian!"

"I just want you to stay and accompany me, don't worry about so many other things!"

"Sorry, Chief." Ian sat on the table with the switch.

“I have always been a very curious person.”

"Seeing the director like this...if I don't figure out what's going on, there's no way I can stay here."

"you……"

Olga Marie looked towards Ian at the table.

She seemed to be thinking about how to explain the reason why she used the jump ○ reasonably.

But with a sigh, the young director probably gave up the idea of ​​beautifying his behavior.

She looked at the switch in Ian's hand and turned away.

"I...heard this can help relieve stress."

"Relieve stress?"

"Yeah." Olga Marie nodded, "It is said that it can relieve stress very well if you know how to use it."

"Where did you hear that?" Ian asked.

"Don't ask so many questions!" The director's voice became impatient. "Anyway, that's it."

"And I only used it twice."

"It's only been twice. No wonder it's like this."
