Or, why don’t you find another savior?

At this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded, interrupting Shiomi's voice.

He immediately connected with the control room.

"What happened?"

"Sheba has observed a new singularity reaction! But the exact location of the singularity cannot be determined. It seems to be confined to a very narrow area. The similarity with singularity F is 74%... Ah, the results are out. The result is locked in Shinjuku District, Tokyo, Japan, and the year is... 1999?!"

"Year 1999?"

Shiomi had not left Japan at that time, and he did not remember any major events in Japan that year.

At this time, Ritsuka had already stood up and prepared to go to the control room.

"Wait a minute, Ritsuka!" Shiomi stopped her, "Let Sakura and the others handle the matter of the singularity, you don't have to--"

"But I am still the Master. Even if I can only contribute a little, I cannot sit on the sidelines and watch from Chaldea!"

"You kid..." Xijian was helpless.

Altria pulled at his sleeve.

"Since she has made her choice, we should respect her will. It is everyone's freedom to fight for the right thing."

"...Then go ahead." Xijian sighed.

He understood this feeling better than anyone else, and he also understood better than anyone else that there was no way to stop it.

"Thank you, Mr. Shiomi, Ms. Altria!"

After Li Xiang bowed seriously, he ran out.

Chapter 25 The Status of Retrieval

The hot water in the bathtub swayed slightly, splashing outwards and seeping slowly along the funnel on the floor.

Scathach lay softly in Shiomi's arms, as if she wanted to merge with her beloved disciple and was reluctant to separate.

Her body trembled slightly, retaining the afterglow.

"Master really should not be underestimated... He is not afraid of hurting me." Xi Jian whispered in her ear.

"It's rare for us to be alone together, and my beloved disciple has finally recovered. Just consider it that I am close to you and get the moon first." Scathach's fingers caressed the skin on the back of Shiomi's neck, "After all, I spend a lot of time and effort every day to check your condition."

"I just feel guilty that we are the only ones being lazy..." Xijian muttered.

Not long ago, Chaldea once again confirmed the Shinjuku singularity. Although its scale was not as large as the seven singularities during the previous burning of human affairs, it was finally classified as a "subspecies singularity."

Unable to go to the front line, Shiomi can only stay in Chaldea to continue his rehabilitation and deal with matters related to the Clock Tower.

Morgan and Altria participated in the soul transfer with the girls, while Scathach stayed behind to take care of Shiomi and protect Chaldea.

——Although this was decided by drawing lots among the three.

Although Shiomi goes to the control room every day to monitor the progress of the singularity repair, he still needs to rehabilitate his body and magic circuits most of the time.

Of course... this also includes Scathach's half-teasing, half-caring behavior.

"As a man, it is one of your duties to recover as soon as possible." Scathach moved away from him a little, but her chest was still pressed tightly against his. "Besides, you don't want to stay like that forever, do you?"

Soaking in the hot water in the bathtub, the water temperature is different from body temperature, and the stimulation to the senses is particularly clear.

"That's true." Shiomi nodded honestly.

He held Scathach's shoulders and looked at the hands holding her shoulders.

Subconsciously, the magic circuits in his body were awakened, and the magic power communicated with Scathach's magic circuits through physical contact.

"The magic circuit has finally returned to normal... but it's better not to overuse it." Scathach let his hand wander around her shoulders and neck and gave her a warning.

Then she laughed to herself again: "Although my beloved disciple likes to mess around, he also knows what to do and what not to do."

"Master cares about me." Xijian said, moving his lips closer.

Scathach's ruby-like eyes were filled with tenderness and affection that would never be seen by outsiders.

She opened her red lips to greet him, but heard a sound of communication coming from the room outside the bathroom.

"This group of people really don't understand romance." Scathach teased helplessly and got up from Xijian.

As the body left the bathtub, water droplets slid down the wet long hair, across the round and firm buttocks, and down the thighs to the floor of the bathtub.

She gathered her wet hair with both hands, grabbed a dry towel and wrapped it up, then wrapped her body in a bath towel and walked out first.

Shiomi's health has returned to the level where she can carry out her daily life on her own, but she is not as agile as before and has some weaknesses that are not consistent with her physique.

"The Shinjuku singularity has been repaired and is in the process of returning. Romani Achiman informed us that if you plan to welcome it, you can go there now." Scathach said to Shiomi who was walking out of the bathroom.

"It's been about ten days. It was originally expected to be just these two days." Xijian nodded.

The situation at the Shinjuku singularity was not as complicated as the previous singularities. Even the communication was not hindered at all, and the connection with Chaldea was maintained throughout the whole process.

So Scathach helped Shiomi change clothes quickly, and then the two rushed to the control room. Before they reached the room where the spirit particles were transferred, they met Altria and Morgan who had already returned to Chaldea in the corridor.

Altria looked exhausted, as if she had just fought a fierce battle.

Of course, this is not the case.

"Tianxi..."

When she saw Xijian, she naturally opened her arms, walked up to him, threw herself into his arms, and then let out an even more tired sigh.

He didn't even bother to avoid others.

Fortunately, no one else was entering or leaving the control room at this time.

"Thank you for your hard work repairing the singularity." Shiomi stroked her back and hair.

"No... repairing the singularity is nothing. We can get through it if we all work together." Altria sighed, "Sister Wang... Morgan's side is more troublesome."

"Ah ha ha……"

Shiomi immediately understood what was going on and gave a dry laugh of understanding.

Two anomalies occurred in the Shinjuku subspecies singularity.

The first is that Jeanne Alter, who was supposed to belong to the first singularity and was created by Gilles de Rais using the Holy Grail, reappeared as an Avenger.

The second is Altria Alter, who is different from Altria of Chaldea and the goddess Longominiad, but also exists in the correct human history.

Two Alter Servants appeared in the singularity and reached a cooperative relationship with the girls of Chaldea amid misunderstandings and communication.

This should be a good thing that will help repair the singularity.

This is how it should be...

"There's nothing we can do. It's because that black Altria refused to agree to give up the suffix of my name in the real name of her Noble Phantasm." Morgan snorted coldly.

Therefore, during the exploration and repair of the singularity, except for situations that required external interaction, Morgan was at odds with Altria most of the time.

This puts Altria in a situation where it's not right to help either side.

In short, I am exhausted both physically and mentally.

There is nothing more ridiculous than watching Alter's self quarreling with his sister who is not part of the correct human history.

Both Altria and the bystanders could only respond with a wry smile.

"Uh……"

It was impossible for Shiomi to blame Morgan, after all, her demands were quite valid.

It’s a pity that Alter’s attitude towards this is that of a tyrant: “Morgan opposes me, which means I’m not wrong; Morgan agrees with me, which means I’m not wrong even more.”

So all he could do was to comfort Altria's tired body and mind at this moment.

"I have good news for you. My beloved disciple has recovered." Scathach said with a relaxed attitude, "But I can't be too proactive. You have to work hard on yourselves."

Altria's body shivered unconsciously, and she felt her body suddenly getting hot.

"Tianxi?"

"Let's go back--" Shiomi was about to agree when Morgan pulled her sleeve.

Morgan had a sad look in his eyes and looked quite lonely.

"Don't leave me."

"How could that be?"

Xijian held her hand and felt inexplicably dry in the mouth.

Then the three of them returned to their room at Scathach's suggestion.

Chapter 26 Tenderness

Shiomi raised her arm and placed it on her forehead, breathing slightly.

I just came out of the bathroom, and now I have to go back to the bathroom to wash again.

I'm afraid my body will be wrinkled by the water.

"Are you still a little tired?" Morgan asked.

"No, it's not that bad." Xi Jian smiled at her, "After all, you are giving me magic power in return."

Although it was a little strange, it was not a bad thing for him.

The intense skin contact and the excitement of the body made the magic circuits enter the most active state, allowing them to more naturally accept magic power that did not belong to them.

Morgan leaned down and laid on Shiomi's neck, biting it gently.

Although he felt a little pain, he felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had found his home again.

"What a pity, I'm not a vampire fairy and I don't have the ability to taste blood." Morgan whispered flirtatiously in his ear.

"I'll probably die if I bite my aorta," Xijian complained.

He is not sure about his recovery ability now.

At this time, Altria's hand slid across the bed sheet, and her fingertips rested on the teeth marks left by Morgan on the side of Shiomi's neck.

"Do you want to make a mark too?" Xijian asked with a smile.

"No need." Altria shook her head slightly.

She just lay on her side, just able to see the tooth mark, which was gradually recovering at a slow speed visible to the naked eye.

It will disappear into thin air again in less than a minute.

The so-called marking is just a temporary tender interest.

"The power has not disappeared, otherwise it would not have been restored so quickly." Morgan leaned on Shiomi's chest, his eyes careless and without any focus. "If I had known that I would have this much time after returning from the subspecies singularity, there would be no need to draw lots."

"In that case, wouldn't you become a simple and slightly lustful woman?" Xijian teased in a low voice.

"That's not a bad thing." Morgan smiled even more happily.

For two months after returning from the Temple of Time, her heart was hanging.

Even if he knew the result, even if he was seriously injured, it would not crush Shiomi.

But when I saw him in that state with my own eyes, I was still uneasy day and night.

It wasn't until today that I finally felt at ease.

Altria moved her body, getting closer to Shiomi's arm, almost sinking his arm into it.

Her hand wandered across the quilt, interlocking her fingers with his.

"Speaking of which, what did it feel like when you saw another version of yourself?" Xijian asked with interest.

The question was slightly out of context, and Altria was stunned for a moment. She subconsciously leaned close to his head and answered in a low but clear voice:

"...Hmm... I only need to take one look to understand that they are carrying the same burden as here. Just realizing this fact will make me feel more distressed than I thought, but at the same time, I will also feel an indescribable sense of pride."

So, she also drank a little with Alter herself.

——Although the beer I drank was from a vending machine at the Shinjuku Singularity.

"Having said that, seeing that Altria has that kind of cold-blooded and ruthless side, it suddenly seems no wonder that you could do something like that in the sixth singularity." Morgan teased, "You are essentially a cold-blooded and ruthless king. This is your nature that will be exposed once you are infected by black mud or the holy spear."

"Well……"

Altria felt like she had been hit so hard, and she had no way of refutation.
