"like this."
Edison answered Ian's question and then turned on the device in his hand.
In an instant, all kinds of colorful lines appeared on the device.
Of course Ian had no idea what this meant.
Edison understood this, so he quickly explained it.
"To put it simply, in addition to the various household signals that originally existed in this world, my country has also detected the existence of something I cannot identify."
"I certainly can't allow someone to do something like this in my country."
"So I ordered my broadcaster to activate strong blocking mode, blocking all the non-existent signals."
"Ok?"
Ian suddenly realized something.
"Edison... the strong shielding mode you're referring to directly cuts off the signals originally used for communication or contact?"
"Of course it's impossible to cut it off."
Edison answered without hesitation. At this moment, he was not the President of the United States, but communicating with Ian as a great inventor.
"I simply slightly altered its frequency—causing two points that were originally connected to become disrupted, ultimately preventing them from reaching their intended destination."
Although it sounds very high-sounding, Ian, who has a strong learning ability, quickly confirmed one thing:
That's Edison over there, and he's actually distorting the signal in the United States to some extent at this moment.
He's not exaggerating.
After all, if even robot soldiers can be created, it is not impossible to distort signals across the United States.
"what happened?"
Edison, with his arms crossed, saw the conflict between Ian's brows.
"You can tell me directly what conditions you have."
"W.F.D! As the President of the United States, my power is unlimited."
"..."
After thinking for a moment, Ian decided to tell Edison his request.
After all, there is no better way so far.
"Edison, do you have any way to turn off that shield now?"
"..."
President Lion looked at the man in front of him and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Of course you can."
"Then you should also know that this is not such a simple matter - this involves my entire broadcasting company."
"If the entire company were to follow your wishes alone, the resulting losses would be significant."
"Ian Pendragon." Edison looked at the man in front of him. "Even knowing this, are you still determined to use my broadcasting company?"
"Hahaha."
Ian suddenly laughed.
"Edison, do you still want to hide your true thoughts at this point?"
"If you're planning to become my ally—"
"Then you shouldn't continue discussing these so-called expense issues with me at this time, right?"
Edison also laughed when he heard this.
"You are right. This is exactly what I am thinking now."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Ian responded to Edison calmly, "Do you want to lose an ally like me?"
At this point, a perfect cooperation agreement was presented to everyone.
Edison pulled up his collar and whispered something like a secret agent.
After a few minutes, he nodded.
"Okay, I've done what you asked."
"...Don't be impatient, let me try first."
Ian wasn't at all flustered.
After all, the person who needs an ally at this moment is not him, but Edison.
Having witnessed the power of the Athena mecha, the American president in front of him would never abandon a living force like himself.
but--
Whether the broadcasting company's blocking was related to his inability to contact Chaldea, he had to verify it immediately.
With this thought in mind, Ian took out his communication device.
"BB, are you there?"
The moment the words were spoken, the answer Ian was expecting also reached his ears.
"Pig——!"
"Where have you been? Why haven't you contacted BB yet?"
It still tastes the same.
A curse that belongs only to bb, and is written with concern.
Ian breathed a sigh of relief—at least now he could be guaranteed to contact Chaldea.
"BB, listen to me, this is what happened..."
A few minutes later.
Ian told BB in Chaldea about the recent events.
"This……"
"Is this why you didn't contact BB, pig?"
The demon girl was very surprised. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
"Can the technology of that era actually influence the present?"
"It's a singularity after all - nothing is strange what happens." Ian and BB shared their thoughts.
"By the way, now that Edison has lifted the signal blocking between us, then the situation on Ritsuka's side...will it be better?"
"BB, go ask her now!"
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected.
The devil girl's reply came quickly through the communication device.
But her tone was no longer as calm as it was at the beginning.
"Pig... I can't contact Ritsuka again..."
"this?"
Ian subconsciously turned around and looked at Edison on the other side.
Such an obvious action naturally made Edison realize what he meant.
"I didn't do anything."
"W.F.D! Swear in the name of the United States of America."
"..."
Ian did not deny Edison's words.
After all, he really had no reason to take action at this moment.
Angering an ally like himself would only be disadvantageous to him.
It is impossible for him not to realize this since he could use cash as an exchange.
"..."
This time it was Ian's turn to be silent.
His intuition told him that things were not as simple as he had imagined.
"I said--"
Edison, who had been waiting for a long time, spoke again at this moment.
"Since you still don't have a clue what you're going to do, would you like to join me in destroying the enemies who are invading this country?"
"I can also take this opportunity to introduce to you the future working environment of those people."
"of course."
Edison took a look at the environment inside the hospital.
"I will arrange for someone to come and take care of them soon - so you and the man called Nightingale don't have to worry about them."
"..."
This sounds like a pretty good condition.
Ian knew that Edison was trying hard to win over allies like himself.
The key issue is whether doing so would cause Nightingale's disgust.
After all, what she cared about was not how to destroy the enemy, but how to ensure that these patients received good enough treatment.
Just as Ian was struggling with this and unable to make a decision, the door of the room was pushed open again.
The person who walked in was none other than Nightingale, whom Ian had just thought of.
Although she still had an expressionless look on her face, the man could sense that there were some subtle differences between her and before.
Eyes? Or something else?
Before Ian could figure out all this, Nightingale spoke to everyone:
"If you want to leave this hospital, please do so as soon as possible."
"If you procrastinate, you will miss the best time for treatment."
These two simple sentences made Ian realize what the nurse in front of him was thinking.
"Nightingale...are you supporting us to leave this hospital?"
"Ah."
Nightingale nodded, then walked to Ian and took his hand.
"Since we have made follow-up arrangements for these people—"
"Then there's no need for me to take care of them all the time."
“Isn’t the real purpose of treatment to get these people back to a normal life?”
"Ian, wherever you go, I'll go."
"I...should be qualified to do this, right?"
Facing Nightingale's straight ball, Ian was stunned at first, and then quickly responded.
"Well, that's best."
Ever since——
After reporting their destination to BB, Ian and his team said a simple goodbye to the patients in the hospital.
Amid their voices full of blessings, Ian took Nightingale's hand and left.
Edison's preparations were quite thorough, and he even prepared a car for everyone to use.
As the only male in the entire team, Ian naturally sat in the driver's seat.
