Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Obviously, this will help maintain Roman's physical condition, and it won't cause any harm.

"After all, ever since your potion started helping me, Roman hasn't had a single iota of sleep these past few days."

Leonardo da Vinci touched his forehead in distress, looking heartbroken.

"Aside from wanting to eat strawberry cake and take a short nap, he's been at his workstation all day these past few days."

"It can't be helped. After all, I still have a lot of work to do. I don't have much time to rest."

Although he felt embarrassed when his behavior of "slacking off" was exposed, Dr. Roman immediately refuted it. After all, he did this because Chaldea was still not stable, and he couldn't feel at ease even if he wanted to rest.

Since getting Xiuer's potion, he can now completely save his rest time and use it to improve his work efficiency.

After all, after using Xuul's potion, he didn't need to take in any energy or rest his body. It was as if he had turned into a ruthless working machine.

"And there are no side effects, so you don't have to worry about me at all."

"Ugh……"

Seeing this, Leonardo knew that he could not convince the other party, so he could only turn his attention to Xiuer.

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had "retreat" to the edge of the topic, and watched the conversation between Da Vinci and Roman with Shuul.

"Just this time."

After saying this, Da Vinci looked at Xiuer again.

"Please, Ms. Xiuer, please do not provide Roman with this kind of potion anymore, for the sake of Roman's 'habit'."

"..."

Xiuer's lips slightly opened. He wanted to explain that his medicine had no harm, but it was obvious that Da Vinci was not worried about whether there was any problem with the medicine, but was worried that relying on the help of the medicine would affect Dr. Roman's "habit".

This point indeed made Xiuer unable to refute.

After all, without rest or food, isn't this the same as Xuer's current situation?

In the past, he relied on the "convenience" of his body to easily achieve efficiency far beyond the reach of humans.

"...Understood. I will no longer provide any "medicine" to individual Romani Achiman."

“Eh—why is this happening…”

Seeing that Xiuer had also joined Da Vinci's camp, Roman, whose "energy" was cut off, could only wail and was defeated in the discussion.

But within a few seconds, Dr. Roman perked up again.

He looked at everyone present with a serious face.

"Actually, the reason I called you here this time isn't just for the Roman thing."

After looking at the three confused people, Da Vinci immediately took on the role of "commentator".

"What I'm going to talk about next is the next singularity."

After these words were spoken, Xiuer, who had been watching calmly until now, suddenly fixed his eyes.

As if he had cheered up, he immediately stared at Dr. Roman with his golden eyes.

Even Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu immediately sat up straight, waiting for Roman's next words.

……

Chapter 8: Roman's Request

"..."

Xiuer didn't say anything, but his eyes were clearly urging the other party.

There is a sense of "joy" in it, as if one has finally heard what one wants to hear.

Shul's posture was not unfamiliar to Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu. After all, they had seen Shul in a "serious" state in the singularity a few days ago.

At that time, the other party was "running around" for the power of those servants (the clone can be regarded as the real person, I am sure).

It is understandable that he is now "excited" because of the news of the new singularity. After all, no matter how excited he is, Xu Er can control his actions.

When he heard the news about the next singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka changed his previous casual attitude and immediately put on a serious expression.

Even Mashu, who had been out of state, immediately entered the state like the boy.

Seeing Xuer's actions, Dr. Roman also showed an expression of "as expected".

It was as if he had guessed the other person's reaction.

But what can I say? After all, Xuer had already told his purpose in advance, it would be strange if it was not guessed.

"Please don't be anxious for now. Let's listen to the intelligence we have obtained in the past few days."

When he said this, Roman's eyes were directly on Xiuer, from which it was clear who he was mainly talking to.

"So please don't worry, Xiuer~ We all know you really want to see the 'New World'."

Compared to Roman's obscureness, Leonardo da Vinci was much more direct.

"..."

Xiuer nodded.

He had no objection. After all, before taking action, he would first collect intelligence and make a plan. This has been his behavioral logic to this day.

There was nothing wrong with Roman's remarks.

After comforting Xiuer, Da Vinci looked at the other two.

"And Fujimaru-kun and little Matthew, please relax and listen."

"Hey, but this topic is supposed to be serious, right?"

Mashu was puzzled. After all, this was a matter of human nature, and the girl couldn't keep a relaxed attitude.

Compared to the girl, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly adjusted his mentality. He immediately changed his overly serious attitude and adopted the same tone as Roman.

"That's true. Sorry, I just did that subconsciously."

"Hmm~ I understand."

Seeing that the atmosphere had become heated, Leonardo da Vinci promptly handed the initiative back to Roman, allowing him to take over the next content.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing this, Roman immediately cleared his throat and got into the state.

"Well then, let's begin the operational meeting. Regarding the confirmed sixth singularity—"

……

----

……

After the meeting, the rest of the people left and made adequate preparations for the singularity they were about to go to.

Roman and Da Vinci went to mobilize manpower, while Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu went to recuperate.

Only Xiuer is different.

Of the five people present, he was the only one who had nothing to prepare.

After all, Shuul is always in a "ready to go" state.

No matter what he is doing, he can draw his weapons and go into battle when necessary.

So, now only Xiuer is still doing nothing.

He held Fufu in his arms as he walked along the corridors of Chaldea, observing the staff who were making expedited preparations for the next singularity repair.

Some Heroic Spirits also became active when they heard that the next "restoration work" was about to begin, as if they also wanted to join this "journey".

Xiuer passed by these people, and while observing them, he was also thinking about the content of the previous meeting.

"Thirteenth-century Jerusalem..."

"The sixth singularity doesn't exist on the surface of Chaldeas. That part is gradually becoming a 'hole'."

This is the information revealed by Dr. Roman during the meeting.

Chaldea's current work, in addition to repairing the other singularities, is mainly aimed at "fighting" against the Holy Grail of Solomon that disrupted "that era."

However, this singularity itself is gradually becoming a piece of history that "should not exist".

If it is not repaired, it will cause irreparable damage to human nature.

"EX-level singularity, quite interesting."

"EX level" was what Roman and the others had agreed upon, similar to the "difficulty level" in a game.

Here, the sixth singularity is rated EX-level, which means that everything in this singularity is "unknown," and it is like a stage for fate where the future is unknown.

However, just because Chaldea cannot observe accurately doesn't mean Shuul can't.

All unknowns will be revealed when he reaches the singularity.

"Fu?"

Fu Fu looked up at Xiu Er's plain face, and her purple eyes met those "amber" eyes.

"Yes, I am indeed interested in the Sixth Singularity."

"Fu~"

"Understood. I will protect the lives of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu."

"Fu——"

"Of course, I have the ability to directly obtain the information I want."

"Fu..."

"Negative. I don't want to reveal my intelligence capabilities casually."

"Fu?"

"Answer, because I trust you won't say anything nonsense."

Xuer and Fufu in his arms asked and answered each other, and there was no one else left in the corridor. It seemed that at this stage, everyone in Chaldea was busy.

Just as Shul was strolling leisurely in the corridor of Chaldea, Roman, who had left first to mobilize manpower, returned at some point and approached him alone.

"...?"

Xiuer and Fufu in his arms looked at the orange-haired young man with puzzled eyes. He was obviously here for something.

"Excuse me, Miss Xiuer, are you free now?"

……

Xuer followed the mysterious Roman to an empty room the latter found.

Seeing this, Xiuer couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Fu?"

Fu Fu in his arms was also puzzled by Roman's behavior. After all, the other party didn't have time to look for Xuer now.

Unless there is a place where Xiuer must be used.

However, Chaldea's current "ability" had already completed several singularity repairs before Shuul arrived. If there were any problems, they would not have been discovered until now.

"What's the matter?"

After all, Xiuer can't read minds, or he won't use those "abilities" to pry into privacy unless necessary.

And being invited here by the other party clearly means that he has something to ask for help, and he doesn't want others to know.

Thinking of this, Xiuer still remembered the "meeting" not long ago.

"Reminder: I have accepted Da Vinci's 'commission'. Even if you contact me privately, I will no longer be able to provide you with the 'medicine'."

No matter what, Xuer took the initiative to interrupt Roman's thoughts.

It wasn't that he was worried about the other person's health, he simply accepted Leonardo da Vinci's "commission".

After all, up to now, the people of Chaldea have not had a good enough relationship with Shul to care about him.

"Eh—no, that's not right, that's not what I want to talk about!"
