Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

Chapter 48 Welcome to Chaldea

Chaldea, in a room.

Cao Mengde had just woken up from his bed when the perfect, incredibly beautiful female spirit who looked very much like the famous painting Mona Lisa smiled and said, "Ah, you're awake. Are you conscious? Do you remember who you are?"

With just one glance, Cao Mengde recognized who the woman in front of him was.

I almost blurted out "big profiteer!".

That’s right, the woman in front of him was the technology provider for Chaldea—the all-powerful man, Leonardo da Vinci.

Because he runs a shop (Magic Workshop) in Chaldea, selling some costumes, experience points, and amulets to players, he is nicknamed a profiteer by the players.

She looks like a beautiful Mona Lisa, but actually she is just a perverted old man. She just made a female doll and put herself inside it.

Cao Mengde sat up from the bed, rubbed his painful forehead, and said, "Of course, I still remember that Mashu and I just solved the problem of the Fuyuki singularity."

Hearing this, Leonardo and Roman beside her breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he began to look around the room.

It is similar to what is depicted in the game, full of the style of near-future technology, and also has some simple style. There are not many decorations around the room.

"Have I arrived in Chaldea?" Cao Mengde asked.

"Yes."

The one who answered his question was Roman, who was sitting next to Leonardo.

To be honest, Cao Mengde felt a little sad and full of emotion when he was able to meet Dr. Roman in person.

As a player who has finished the first part of FGO, although the process is like walking on a muddy road, with pits sometimes and then not, the experience is not that good.

But after the sixth chapter, the plot of the game started to become richer, and the character of Dr. Roman also occupied a place in the hearts of players.

And few players guessed that in the final battle, Dr. Roman, who gave the impression of being lazy, slacking off, a nerd, frivolous, and unreliable, would stand up and stand in front of the players.

Then he gave his life.

At that moment, like many people, Cao Mengde was shocked by this huge reversal, and countless players felt like they were stabbed in the heart.

After that, everyone missed this eccentric doctor very much.

While Cao Mengde was sighing, Roman said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I brought you to Chaldea without asking for your opinion before."

"It's okay." Hearing this, Cao Mengde waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a gentle smile: "It's very likely that I won't be able to return to my original world, so it's good to be here."

"Besides, I am very interested in you guys, and I also want to join Chaldea."

Rather, his goal from the beginning was to join Chaldea. After all, in the FGO world, there is no place safer than Chaldea.

Of course, only the first one.

Oh, no, maybe we should also add the Wandering Sea hidden in the Atlantic Ocean.

"That's great!" Cao Mengde's words made Roman breathe a sigh of relief. Then his smile became brighter and he said happily: "Welcome to join Chaldea!"

In fact, Roman was quite afraid that Cao Mengde would get angry. After all, this lord was a hero in the Three Kingdoms period. How could he not have a temper?

Maybe they could have gone back anyway, but you just took them away with your soul transfer. You were already very nice by not cutting them into pieces.

But Roman had no choice, as Chaldea was short of manpower. Leif's blast had killed more than half of Chaldea's staff, almost paralyzing Chaldea.

But even if he wasn't paralyzed, he was almost there, and with the help of Leonardo da Vinci he kept Chaldea running.

"Oh, right!" Roman suddenly remembered that he hadn't introduced the people around him to Cao Mengde yet, so he said, "I haven't introduced them to you yet. This is Leonardo da Vinci."

"Hello, Mr. Cao, I like your story very much." Da Vinci stretched out his right hand and said with a smile.

"Hello." Cao Mengde also extended his hand back. Although her hand was wearing gloves, he could still feel the boneless softness. However, his heart was calm and he smiled back: "Almighty Man, I also know your story. It is really not easy to be proficient in so many things in that era."

Then Roman said: "Mr. Cao, you must be wondering why the Leonardo da Vinci in front of you is a woman? In fact-"

"Not surprisingly."

"Uh......"

Cao Mengde answered without hesitation, causing Roman, who wanted to explain, to choke on his words.

"Haha, Mr. Cao is such an interesting person." Da Vinci chuckled and explained himself: "In order to help Chaldea, I made a puppet for myself and used it as my master so that I can maintain the present world all the time."

"You were originally a male, but you gave yourself a female body. You are really a pervert!" Cao Mengde complained.

Da Vinci didn't care: "I just want to experience a different life. Don't you think being a cute and beautiful girl is a good thing?"

"I think it depends on the person." Cao Mengde gave a fair evaluation.

In the past, Cao Mengde had indeed thought about what it felt like to be a woman. It would be better to say that most people have had the illusion of becoming the opposite sex.

This is a common curiosity.

"By the way, how are Fujimaru and the others?" Cao Mengde asked.

"They're both fine," Roman replied, "Fujimaru is probably still sleeping and recovering. Mash is accompanying him."

"And Mary?"

What Cao Mengde is more concerned about now is Olga Marie's situation.

In fact, there are still some risks in letting Olga Marie become the container of the Holy Grail. Cao Mengde is not completely sure whether she can survive the transfer of spirit particles back to Chaldea and not lose consciousness due to her own death.

"Don't worry, she's just a little scared mentally, there's nothing wrong with her elsewhere."

Roman said, very gratefully: "We in Chaldea would like to solemnly thank you for saving our director!"

Although to be honest, Olga Marie is somewhat lacking in ability as a director, she is still the director of Chaldea after all and is a person they like.

If she died, everyone would be very sad and their enthusiasm would decrease, which would be very unfavorable for the current situation.

"It's just a small favor, nothing." Cao Mengde smiled and waved his hand.

At this time, Da Vinci interjected, "Although the director survived, there is a problem that I don't know if it can be considered a problem."

Hearing this, Cao Mengde asked, "What's the problem?"

"After we examined her, we found that the Holy Grail had become one with her and could not be removed. It felt like the Holy Grail was the foundation of her life."

"Is that so? This isn't really a problem, at least she won't die so easily in the future. In a way, she has become a Heroic Spirit."

Cao Mengde was not surprised. Olga Marie's existence had been confirmed by the Holy Grail. As long as the Holy Grail was fine, she would be fine.

Moreover, the magical power contained in the Holy Grail is enough to make her an immortal.

Then he asked, "Does she mind this?"

Now Olga Marie can be said to be no longer a human being. I don’t know whether she minds this matter or not.

If she minds, then the only way is to find a way to take the Holy Grail away from her.

Chapter 49 I won’t satisfy your fetish!

"mind?"

"hehe."

When they heard Cao Mengde's question, Roman and Da Vinci both chuckled.

Seeing their slightly helpless smiles, Cao Mengde knew what was going on. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that they don't mind."

“How could she mind?” Roman scratched his head. “She is a magician. You should understand a magician’s values, right?”

Cao Mengde nodded.

In Type-Moon, the three perspectives of a magician cannot be understood by the three perspectives of an ordinary person. For them, research success is more important than anything else, and everything else has to take a back seat.

They would even go so far as to sacrifice a group of people to achieve their own goals, or transform their own children into magic props. The more extreme ones would even transform themselves.

Olga Marie, who comes from a magic family, does not have such extreme values, but in fact, they are almost the same. She attaches great importance to Chaldea established by her father.

It reached the point of paranoia.

"Besides, her original talent wasn't very good." Da Vinci continued, "Although her physical magic is of high quality, it is quite a disadvantage."

"And this also prevented Mary from becoming a Master, a powerful magician, which made her feel a little bit self-loathing."

Olga Marie also felt insecure about her abilities and wanted to prove herself by achieving something. However, the more she tried, the more she felt she was not good enough. Since no one affirmed or praised her, she continued to deny herself, which put a lot of pressure on herself.

At this time, Leif appeared and helped Olga Marie a lot and gave her some affirmation. So she trusted Leif especially.

Even though Chaldea had already confirmed that he was the one who blew it up, they still couldn't believe it and wanted to deny the result.

"So, Mary feels particularly good about her current body?" Cao Mengde said with a smile.

“That’s right.” Roman smiled helplessly. “He even cried a lot. He said that he could finally become a powerful magician, and he kept thanking you.”

"Who said I cried?"

Just as Roman finished speaking, the door of the room was opened and a shamed and angry girl walked in.

This girl was none other than Miss Olga Marie whom I was talking about just now.

She had just returned from the control room after completing the preparations for summoning heroic spirits, and was planning to check on Cao Mengde and Fujimaru Ritsuka to see if they had regained consciousness.

Mashu and she were not unconscious for too long, and woke up quickly after returning to Chaldea. This may be because they are sub-servants and containers of the Holy Grail.

Recovery is very fast.

Then, as soon as she reached the door of Cao Mengde's room, she heard someone talking about her. She wanted to eavesdrop, but she heard Luo Man talking about her being beaten and crying, and she immediately panicked.

He opened the door and walked in without even knocking.

Olga Marie blushed and denied it flatly: "I didn't cry at all, I was just accidentally blown by the wind!"

Obviously, Olga Marie was shy and arrogant.

"Oh my, you are so cute, Director." Da Vinci smiled kindly and joked, "Don't you want Mr. Cao to know that you are crying and ruin your image in his mind?"

"That's not true!" Olga Marie tried her best to defend herself, but from her anxious and flustered expression, it can be seen that this is what she really thought.

Then, seeing Cao Mengde’s smiling face, she knew she couldn’t fool him, so she said in self-deprecation: “Okay! I just cried!”

"Anyway! Let me be formal." Then, Olga Marie bowed 90 degrees to Cao Mengde solemnly and said, "Thank you for saving me, Mr. Cao Mengde!"

Bowing is a well-understood etiquette in both the West and the East, and is accepted by everyone.

A 90-degree bow appears particularly sincere and solemn visually.

"You don't need such a big gift!" Cao Mengde immediately stood up and helped Olga Marie up. "I just did what I could."

Cao Mengde did not think that he was so great for saving people, nor did he think that he must be thanked by others for saving people. He just did what he wanted to do as a modern three-good young man and an ancient knight.

If you save someone just to get a thank you from them, you will get hurt sooner or later.

"No, I have to thank you!" Olga Marie said seriously, with a hint of guilt in her eyes, "Because... because you saved me, your servant could have come to Chaldea with you, but now..."

"Oh, this is what you mind."

Cao Mengde understood.

The way he and Tomoe Gozen acted to outsiders was just like an old married couple, extremely sweet.

As a result, in order to save Olga Marie, Tomoe Gozen burned herself to destroy Leif, causing her to no longer be able to maintain her Servant status. She turned into magic power and dissipated, returning to the Throne of Heroes.

This made Cao Mengde and Ba Gozen, who had just established a deep relationship, experience a sad separation.

Olga Marie felt a little guilty about this.

Because even if Cao Mengde could summon the Ba Yuzen again, it would not be the same Ba Yuzen as before. He would be a stranger with no relevant memories.

“Well, I’m very grateful that you saved me, but I’m also very sorry for separating you from your lover…” Olga Marie didn’t know what her mood was now.

My current feelings towards Cao Mengde: respect, trust, guilt and...love. They are so complicated that there is no concrete answer at all.

"So, I want to make it up to you."

"Compensation?" Cao Mengde heard this and joked, "Could it be that kind of thing?"

"What kind of thing?" Olga Marie didn't think of the key at first, but after seeing Cao Mengde's smirk, she quickly realized what he was talking about.

However, the panic Cao Mengde imagined did not appear. Olga Marie actually lowered her head and said shyly: "If you want... it's not impossible! But, but! I will not become someone else's wife and satisfy your fetish!"

Olga Marie's shocking speech stunned everyone present.

Especially Cao Mengde, he couldn't say anything he wanted to say, and the words just got stuck in his throat.

What does it mean to be someone else's wife? What does it mean to satisfy my fetish?
