Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Roman's eyes quickly swept over the returning people, and he immediately discovered a serious problem.

"Um, didn't Xiuer come back with you?"

He asked the boy uncertainly.

"Eh?"

Hearing this question, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately turned around and looked at his companions.

One, two, three, four, there really isn’t one?!

"alright, I got it."

Seeing the other party's actions, Roman immediately understood the current situation.

He then patted the other person's shoulder and handed the plate of strawberry cake in his hand to him.

"Don't worry, that Xiuer will probably come back in the same way."

The doctor comforted the boy softly.

"Although as usual, I would recommend that you get some rest first."

"But since your 'speed' was particularly fast this time, I guess it didn't take too much effort."

Having said that, Roman raised his hand and pointed at the cake he handed to the other person.

"So before we rest, how about a strawberry shortcake?"

“This is delicious, trust me.”

Dr. Roman blinked, then let go of the boy and looked at Da Vinci who came out of another warehouse.

Compared to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu who were still a little confused, the genius's condition was obviously the same as when he left before.

His eyes are full of desire to explore new things.

It is known that there is nothing in Chaldea that can make this genius so excited.

Then the answer is obvious, this group of people obviously encountered something before returning.

Roman didn't know what these people saw, but it was not impossible for him to ask the people involved directly.

"So, did you see anything before you came back?"

"A giant upside-down pyramid falling from the sky?"

……

----

……

"Confused, where is this place?"

Xiuer blinked and looked at the forest around him in confusion.

The night covers the sky, with stars hanging in it, forming a beautiful painting with the bright moon.

But the puppet had no intention of appreciating it at the moment.

Because he had just taken over Ramses II's Noble Phantasm a few seconds ago.

Before it was fully analyzed, it was forcibly sent back due to the repair of the singularity.

But logically speaking, he should have been sent back to Chaldea directly like Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, so why is he now alone in an unfamiliar forest?

The only thing he could be sure of now was that he was still in the Fate world, because the energy extracted from that world still had that familiar "taste".

This also means that she has not left this world.

But right now, according to the results of the system detection, the world he is in now does not have Chaldea and is not a singularity, but a completely new world.

Could it be that because he used his own copied technology to transfer the spirit particles, there was a problem in the judgment of sending back the inhibitory force?

According to the detector, there is a huge castle located in a certain direction of him.

Of course, even without the detector, Xuul could see the slightly gloomy building with his eyes alone.

Normally, he would stay and explore this whole new world.

But right now, the top priority is to reunite with temporary companions.

"system."

"Command request detected, coordinating search initiated."

"...Search complete, coordinates detected, target locked."

As the system's voice announcement finished, a golden vortex appeared before Xiuer's eyes.

"Channel stabilization complete, link confirmed."

It was not difficult for Xuer to just return to the wrong world. For him, traveling through the world was an easy task.

The blue puppet stepped into the vortex without hesitation.

The golden space channel quickly disappeared as Xuer entered, and at the place where Xuer had originally stood, a small "block" lay quietly in the soil, emitting a faint golden light under the night sky.

……

When Shul returned to Chaldea, he was so frightened by what he saw that he almost spilled the cake on the bed as Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It should be said that eating in bed is not a good habit.

But he didn't sleep here anyway, so he didn't care about it.

"Xiul, could you please let me know before you come back?"

Although the boy felt genuine joy at the return of the doll that had disappeared forever, much of this joy was diluted by the shock he had just received.

"receive."

Xiuer nodded without refuting the statement.

Because the coordinates he located were exactly the device given by the doll in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand. It was indeed impolite to suddenly break into someone else's room like this.

Although Xiuer usually doesn't care about other people's attitudes, as a temporary companion he has been in contact with for a while, he will at least give him respect.

"But speaking of which, where did you go before, Xiuer? Why didn't you come back with us?"

"…Answer, I was transported to another world."

"Eh?"

The boy's face was filled with surprise, and he couldn't even put the cake he had just started into his mouth.

But Xiuer obviously didn't want to dwell on this topic for too long, so he just passed it over.

“Notice, please go to Dr. Roman’s office later. I will inform you of something.

After saying that, Xiuer didn't wait for the other party to respond, and immediately walked out of the door, leaving behind these words:

"In addition, I will also issue a notice to the rest of the personnel. Please rest well and then depart quickly."

……

Chapter 78: Chat

"So you came to me right after you got back, is there something you want to say?"

The first person to arrive was naturally Roman, who was already working in the studio.

He looked at Xiuer who rushed in with some confusion.

Although only Fujimaru Ritsuka knew about Shule's return, and the latter had no time to pass the news to other companions, he ran directly to inform everyone else.

It was only when he discovered that Roman was in the office that he finally came to him.

Of course, the acting director of Chaldea was not aware of this matter due to work reasons.

His desk was currently piled with a large number of documents waiting to be processed.

Although he had the leisure to wait for everyone's return with desserts before, that was just an advance payment for his rest time later.

Chaldea's current state meant that he had a lot of work to do.

When he wasn't repairing the singularity, he stayed here to work on various Chaldea-related approval documents and activity arrangements.

And because of the shortage of staff, he, as the acting director, did not have even a "secretary" to share the work.

Oh, Leonardo da Vinci was a perfect "secretary".

This genius is often able to work in an orderly manner and share most of the work with Roman.

Even while sharing the work, you can still spare plenty of time to do your own research.

This is the margin of the "all-powerful man", and it is also the ability that Roman has admired many times.

He had expressed his gratitude more than once that Chaldea had such an outstanding servant.

However, this time, Leonardo da Vinci did not immediately take over Roman's unfinished work. Instead, he took the device that Shul had given him earlier and rushed into the workshop.

Her hurried figure also means that what she is going to do next is very important to her.

"affim."

In response to Roman's question, Xiuer simply responded concisely.

Then, this "cold" puppet stood quietly beside the door, waiting for everyone else to arrive.

"?"

After approving a document, Roman put down the tools in his hands and looked at the doll that had turned into a statue with some confusion.

"So is there something you want to talk to me about?"

He put down his work. After all, the attitude of this Xiuer clearly showed that he was not here to watch him work.

"Answer, I will reply to everyone when they are all here."

After saying that, the puppet returned to tranquility again, and its pair of golden eyes, which emitted a faint glow, were fixed on the mountain of documents on the desk in front of Roman.

Seeing this, the latter knew that he could not ask for the result, so he smiled helplessly and continued with his work.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

Xuer just watched quietly as Roman flipped through one document after another. The only sounds in the entire room were the turning of pages and the writing of pens.

And occasionally some Chaldea staff would bring in a stack of brand new documents.

At this point, Xiuer, who had nothing to do, gave up his silent observation and slowly walked to Roman's table.

"Is this the only 'paperwork' you do during your daily work?"

Looking at the piles of small hills on his desk, Xuer raised the question in his mind.

"Strictly speaking, that's not all."

Roman was a little surprised by the puppet's initiative to talk, but he did not stop what he was doing, but just devoted his energy to responding to the other party.

“However, these jobs account for the majority of the total.”

He piled up one document after another to one side, where were the documents he had approved.

The "hill" on the table covers almost 90% of the table masks. They are like city walls, blocking the man's contact with the outside world.

"The rest of the time, it's just to remind everyone to check their health on time."

There was a lot of work to do, but Roman certainly wouldn't miss such an opportunity to chat and add a bit of spice to this boring and tedious work.

And the person he was chatting with this time was even Shuul, who was famous for his "silence" and "strength" in Chaldea.

"After all, before becoming acting director, I was Chaldea's chief physician."

"As the saying goes, 'Your health is your capital.' If you ruin your health because you're busy with 'work,' it's not worth it."

Roman said seriously:

"Now is a time of crisis for the world. We do not have any opportunity for trial and error. We must avoid hidden dangers that will increase the possibility of failure."

Although the other party's words were full of "utilitarianism", Shuel could hear the concern from the heart from the other party's words, which was the concern for everyone in Chaldea.

And for some reason, he could even feel that the other party seemed to have taken him into the scope of concern.
