"But Altria in Shinjuku seems to have forgotten anything about Singularity F." Morgan suddenly changed his casual and ambiguous tone and got down to business.
Shiomi nodded: "I noticed this when I heard you guys were in contact with Chaldea."
But in contrast, Jeanne Alter does remember the Orleans singularity.
"…Although it's strange for me to say this." Altria seemed to be thinking, "I always feel that the black 'me' is deliberately hiding something."
"Of course." Morgan snorted and laughed, "You in Shinjuku know very well what the Fairy Eyes are. You would rather not mention it than deliberately tell a lie that can be seen through."
In addition, there were many things to deal with at the Shinjuku singularity, and this part of the problem was inadvertently overlooked by everyone.
"What do you think is the reason?" asked Xijian.
Altria supported herself with one hand and held her head with the other, looking quite confused.
"I don't know, but I'm definitely not acting without a purpose. I'm sorry... I'm facing myself, but I can't solve this mystery... Ugh!"
As soon as she started to apologize, Shiomi gently pulled her back down and stroked her head with her hand.
"This is not something you need to feel bad about. The Servants appear in the singularity, perhaps because of the summons of the inhibitory force, or because some gods acted as matchmakers." Shiomi said in a gentle and comforting voice, "You have worked hard."
"Tianxi..."
Because of what she did just now, Altria's face was almost pressed against his neck.
The scent of his body surrounded her nose, making her feel dizzy instantly. However, her body was already satisfied, only her heart was still a little thirsty, which needed more tenderness for a while to be moistened.
Seeing her in such an inappropriate state, Morgan sighed:
"You have completely turned into a tyrant who is addicted to male beauty. Fortunately, your loyal Knights of the Round Table can't even think of it, let alone see it."
Although at this level, Morgan thought to himself that he was actually about the same.
"If someone sees this, will there be someone like Assistant Officer Aguiwen leading a group of knights to launch a war to purge the court?" Xijian continued to complain.
"There's a saying, what's it called? Fengtian Jingnan?" Morgan asked.
"You know so much." Xijian was stunned.
"I've read a lot of books. I've read almost all the history books and legends of human history."
She was quite pleased with herself about it.
It would be better to say that she has always loved reading, but she just hid that part of herself.
Morgan did not waste these twenty years.
"Um...are you ready to get off me?" Xi Jian asked at this time. "Although it's not heavy, it does make my chest feel a little uncomfortable when I breathe."
"I really can't help it." Morgan gently turned over and lay on the other side of Shiomi. "I'm so tired today, and it's still early for dinner. How about you just sleep with me like this?"
“That was the original plan.”
Shiomi gently gathered her arms that were resting on her head and hugged Morgan's shoulders.
Morgan reached out and pulled up the quilt that had slipped down, covering the bodies of the three people.
The bodies leaning against each other were so warm that Shiomi gradually felt her eyelids beginning to fight each other. Soon she could not hold on any longer and fell into a peaceful sleep with them.
Chapter 27 New Issues of Mooncell
"According to the information provided by the Servant whose real name is Holmes who assisted Chaldea in Shinjuku, the subspecies singularity is not limited to Shinjuku." Romani said.
In Shiomi's room, he was discussing the subspecies singularity with Romani.
"That man once appeared in Atlas Court, investigating your and my origins for some purpose." Xi Jian supported his chin with one hand, "This has not been made public until now. Do you intend to believe what Sherlock Holmes said?"
"After all, he is a detective who symbolizes justice. He won't do anything bad." Romani said with a smile while sipping his coffee.
Xi Jian was speechless: "Even if it's a joke, this joke is not funny."
"But according to Holmes, the one who created the subspecies singularity was the demon pillar that escaped from the destroyed Temple of Time when Goetia was defeated." Romani said, "And the demon Baal also appeared in Shinjuku."
"So you're going to believe him?" Xi Jian raised his eyebrows.
Romani shook his head. "You are right. After all, his motives are unclear, and he can keep appearing in various singularities. If he is not like Queen Scathach or the Lion King, who has mastered the ability of "individual manifestation", there must be someone secretly supporting his actions... We can't completely trust him."
"From the results, it seems that not all Demon Pillars have accepted their failure." Shiomi sighed as he looked at the data sorted out after the singularity in his hand was repaired.
Romani could only smile bitterly: "It seems so now. Chaldea is already doing its best to use Sheba to search for distortions in history... It's just that the subspecies singularity has little impact on history, so it's more difficult to find."
When he said this, his expression unconsciously became melancholy until an untouched cake was pushed in front of him.
Romani had finished his own piece of cake, but Shiomi didn't touch it at all.
"You've been running around to save the world for ten years. It's time to take a break." Shiomi said, "Since this isn't a crisis that could lead to the destruction of the world, why don't you relax a little more?"
"Having said that, I have also made many assumptions before, about how to use the free time after the crisis of world destruction is resolved." Romani looked at the cake and smiled bitterly, "Maybe I have been used to working in Chaldea for these years, and I can't find a way to live a completely idle life for a while.
"Then at least we won't have to work as hard as before. At least Chaldea is not completely isolated from the outside world and doesn't even have supplies," said Shiomi.
"However, the emergence of subspecies singularities has forced Chaldea to once again launch an emergency transfer of spirit particles, which has put a lot of pressure on the Magic Association." Romani shook his head.
He wanted to relax completely, but reality was never so smooth.
"You can rest assured for now. The investigation report that Orange brought back earlier has alleviated the Clock Tower's severe attitude towards Chaldea to a certain extent." Shiomi smiled, "But..."
"but?"
"However, it is unknown how long Chaldea can continue to exist as the private property of Animusphia." Shiomi frowned. "Barthomello of the Law and Politics Department still insists on splitting up Chaldea's authority in the form of equity."
"The director has to work harder now..."
Romani touched his head, then picked up the cake that Shiomi pushed to him.
"Well, I'll take it back and eat it."
"That's what I mean. Take it, take it." Xijian waved his hands happily.
After watching the other person leave, Shiomi slid the wheels of his chair and moved closer to the desk to check the information on the Chaldea server.
Just as she opened the database that could only be viewed by the director, Shiomi's hand stopped.
"Hey~, are you working?"
A voice that was identical to Sakura's, but with a completely different personality, sounded.
"Long time no see, BB." Xi Jian said without even turning his head.
"As expected, the Magic King's Human Ryūsho was finally resolved without any sacrifices." BB leaned against the table. "Of course, the premise is that the divine punishment that Dad suffered is not included in the calculation."
"What exactly is a Mooncell?" Shiomi asked directly, "The Magic King only knows that it is an ancient relic that exists on the moon. Even my mother only knows that it seems to exist."
BB showed a look of surprise: "Oh, I didn't expect Dad to investigate to this extent and even seek help from the goddess Tiamat."
"No, my mother told me on her own initiative," said Shiomi.
"Mother..." BB repeated the word playfully, "If Tiamat is my father's mother, can I call her my grandmother?"
"It's up to you." Shiomi realized that BB still didn't intend to answer his question. "So now that the Human Incineration is over and the world's crisis is over, what are you doing here? Are you going to evaluate my actions so far?"
"Congratulations! You did your best to solve the Humanity Incineration Incident, completed this trial, and won back your daily life. I believe that Humanity will continue unwaveringly in the future."
BB clasped her hands together and said to him with a bright smile.
"When you say that, it means that things are far from over, right?" Shiomi said in a low voice.
"Ah, I hate humans as perceptive as Dad the most... Just kidding~!" BB pretended to be disgusted, then put on an innocent smile again, "But Dad's intuition is right. Even if we solve the human incineration and restore the world to normal, there is no future for the human history of this planet."
"Really?" Xijian frowned subconsciously.
"So as a preliminary test for the next journey, Mooncell plans to give you a certain problem to deal with." BB leaned close to Shiomi's ear and said, "It is said that there is a Beast that has not yet fully formed in that singularity."
Shiomi showed a strange expression: "Are you planning to use me, who is unable to fight now, as fertilizer for the singularity?"
"Of course not. The burden that divine punishment brings to the body is not so easy to erase. But as a compensation for the "cheat", I will ensure that you have the combat power of your heyday in the singularity."
Xi Jian was half-believing and half-doubting, and asked back with a hint of sarcasm: "Have you seen me in my prime?"
"Then I look forward to Dad's performance."
Swah——
As the automatic door of the room opened, BB disappeared.
It's like it never happened.
"Has anyone been here, my husband?" Morgan looked at the table covered with empty plates and coffee cups.
"Well..." Shiomi was thinking about whether he should tell Morgan everything.
"Forget it, we can talk about trivial matters later. Karen asked me to ask you to go for a physical examination."
"Ah good."
Then Shiomi was grabbed by Morgan's hand and left the room.
The computer had not yet gone into sleep mode, and an email was sent to Shiomi's mailbox.
Chapter 28 Offshore Oilfield Serafix
At the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War, when Malisbili negotiated with Shiomi, he admitted that the funds on hand were not enough to complete Chaldeas.
In fact, Animusphia, as a family of magicians with a history of more than 2000 years, actually has a very strong foundation. It's just that the cost of Chaldeas is beyond the financial capacity of that foundation.
And now in addition to the operating Antarctic Observatory - Chaldea.
The Animusphia family also holds two important assets.
One is a nuclear power plant in France, from which Chaldea's electricity comes.
The other is an offshore oil field called Seraphim.
Among the survivors of Chaldea, many have relatives and friends who work for Seraphix, the offshore oil field.
Therefore, Seraphix will have regular contact with Chaldea every three months to conduct personnel contact and information exchange.
After the burning of humanity was resolved, contact with Chaldea was restored, and Seraphix continued to contact as scheduled.
The oil field is located in the North Sea between Britain and Eurasia.
Now that it has suffered heavy losses, the oil field has become Chaldea's most important source of income, so Olga Marie is more concerned about the oil field than in the past.
As long as there is enough money on hand, the amount of Chaldea's authority that is taken away can be minimized in the fight against the Clock Tower.
However, even Olga Marie had never been to that place in person.
After Malisbili's death, the events in Chaldea alone exhausted her physically and mentally to the point of collapse.
Therefore, matters concerning the oil fields have always been handled by Chaldea’s veteran employees.
However, the explosion in the control room killed most of the senior employees, and now no one in Chaldea has ever been to that offshore oil field.
The employees who are currently in contact with the oil field are all new employees who have established friendships through correspondence in recent years, and their relationship with the oil field personnel is more like that of pen pals.
One side is located on the ocean, and the other side is located on the snow-capped mountains. Both are relatively isolated working environments, so it is much easier to come up with common topics.
In the words of a communications staff member, these precious acquaintances across the screen are like Romani's Magic☆Merry.
——Although Romani insists that Magic☆Merry is different.
"How is it? How is Seraphix doing?"
In the control room, Olga Marie paced anxiously, urging the staff to operate the near-future observation mirror Sheba to confirm the situation at the oil field.
After the routine communication began, Chaldea received intermittent voice communications from survivors that were similar to the last moments before destruction.
After that, Sheba could no longer observe Seraphix's condition.
The offshore oil field base itself is mobile, so Sheba also searched the vicinity but could not find Seraphix at all.
"What about other anomalies? Are there signs of oil leaks or fires at sea? Distortions in space and time? ...What about singularities?" Olga Marie asked a lot of questions in one breath, like a machine gun.
"No, nothing! There is no singularity reaction!" Romani's hands moved quickly, "The previous communication source cannot be confirmed, and the image also comes from an unconfirmed area!"
Olga Marie's face had completely darkened, and she was so nervous that she began to touch her thumbnail unconsciously.
"It's not a good habit to bite your fingers when you're nervous."
Shiomi held her hand, and his calm voice made Olga Marie feel like she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Teacher? Aren't you having a routine checkup?"
"The physical examination is complete." Shiomi released his hand and patted Romani's shoulder. "Can I come? I might know what to do."
