Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

So, as she finally dissipated, she shouted in Novia's direction:

"My lord, if I have the chance, I will repay you! I swear in the name of Artemis, in the name of Atalanta!"

Red archer Atalanta, withdraws from the field.

Novia was initially confused by what Atalanta had said, but since Atalanta had already left, she couldn't ask her any questions. So she didn't say much and simply walked towards the last Servant, Semiramis, the oldest human assassin and the Assyrian queen.

"What's the point?"

Looking at Novia before him, Semiramis was furious, but he was helpless.

“Before I gained control of the white doves, I promised them that I would take good care of you, their child.”

"Huh? Who wants to acknowledge a complete stranger like you as their father—"

Perhaps because she had been holding back her complaints about the white dove for too long, Semiramis spoke up directly, but then immediately shut her mouth after realizing what she was doing.

Hearing the Queen's sullen explanation, Novia burst out laughing:

"I'm sorry, they really are your parents. I only agreed to take care of them, and now it's time to return the right to use them to you."

Then the Queen realized that, just as the doves had said, the person in front of her loved many things and loved many people; it was selflessness within selfishness.

He does need me, but not in the sense of needing me to offer my strength or anything else. He just needs me to turn into stone or become a gem, as long as I'm alright.

"……is that so."

That's it.

"...Let's go, my family."

Gazing blankly at the vast, unchanging blue sky, Semiramis thought this was good enough. As the pigeons took flight, she smiled and disappeared.

Thus concludes the 'False Holy Grail,' a matter entrusted to Novia by the Jewel King concerning her own situation.

After that, he took Abigail, Traloc, or Nero back with him.

After that, Novia will probably have to face the impending 'burning of humanity', or something like that.

Chapter 283 The Magician Who Maintained the Atlas Institute in Chaldea

Summer of 2015, Antarctica, Phineas Chaldea, the Human Extinction Conservation Organization.

A pink-haired girl in a white overalls was walking slowly down the corridor of Chaldea.

However, those purple eyes, just partially hidden by her hair, were looking around as if searching for something.

Just then, a Chaldean employee dressed in a normal uniform appeared in front of the girl, along with a man wearing a green hat and squinting eyes. He was the advisor known throughout Chaldean, the most trusted person of the current director, and the creator of Sheba, Levrenor Florous.

Just as the girl was about to greet the two, she overheard their conversation.

“Professor Rafe, according to the notification sent to us by the Atlas Institute, the magician they sent to maintain the Trismegisttes, the spiritual calculation device in Chaldea, is already on his way.”

The girl was somewhat surprised by this.

Do the people from the Atlas Institute still have contact with Chaldea...? I wonder what the Director thinks about it...

"Yeah."

Leif nodded. "Chaldea has been established for so many years, it's really unexpected that the Atlas Institute would suddenly send a magician to protect Chaldea."

Chaldea was officially established in 2004. Although there were various attempts to establish it in the preceding fifty years, it was abandoned in 1990 due to insufficient funds and materials. In short, it was only thanks to the large amount of funds provided by the first director of Chaldea in 2004 that it was able to officially start.

The so-called Chaldea is an environmental model of Earth created by the Animusphia family based on advanced magical theory. This planet is defined as an existence with a soul, and this model is a tiny Earth made by replicating its soul. The first director completed Chaldea by means of the "Contract of Atlas" and the technology provided by the Atlas Institute. At the same time, he also sent Trismegistus, a spiritual calculation device for analyzing Chaldea.

"Perhaps it's because Trismegistes, who analyzed the spiritual quantum calculation device of Chaldea, completed it this year."

The Trismegistus, a spirit quantum computing device provided by the Atlas Institute, was completed in 2015, which is this year.

"That's certainly possible."

"But Professor Rafe, I feel it's related to the Holy Grail War that was held in the Americas not long ago. I heard from everyone that some extraordinary person appeared in it, otherwise it would be very strange that the Church and the Association would keep the news so tightly under wraps..."

"Is that so? I'm sorry I don't understand. I'll take my leave now."

For some reason, the girl who was about to greet him seemed to think that Professor Rafe, who was usually straightforward, was a little dazed when he heard the staff member talk about the Holy Grail War in the Americas. She didn't know why either, since the Holy Grail War was nothing unusual for Chaldea. Chaldea had summoned Servants several times, and if the recruitment went smoothly, there would be dozens of Master candidates.

The girl didn't take it to heart; in her opinion, finding Fu was the priority right now.

"Hey, Mashu, what brings you out here?"

Just as Mashu was about to leave, a gentle voice came from behind her.

The man with short orange ponytail, dressed as a doctor in a white coat, is named Romani Archman.

"Oh, doctor, Fufu has run away again. I'm here to find her."

"Running around everywhere again..."

Romani sighed, after all, he had witnessed countless times that Fufu was running around everywhere.

"But given Fou's personality, she's probably just hiding somewhere in Chaldea to rest, and she'll probably come back on her own when the time comes."

Just as the doctor and Mashu were talking, another voice came over.

"Oh, what are you two talking about?"

"It's Da Vinci, my dear. The doctor and I are discussing Fufu."

Mashu explained methodically, "But we rarely see Da Vinci leave your workshop, why is that?"

"hey-hey."

Leonardo da Vinci smiled calmly, "Why is that? I'm looking for the reason too!"

"Is it because of the magician sent by the Atlas Academy? Because it's related to the work you, Leonardo da Vinci, are you going to greet him?"

"Hmm, Mashu, you already knew?"

“I just overheard Professor Rafe saying something.”

"That's one reason."

For the first time, Leonardo da Vinci showed a gentle expression unlike any he had ever displayed before. "Well, the magician sent by the Atlas Institute is named Novia. Apart from that... well, it might just be a coincidence. We'll have to see him in person to make a proper judgment."

“…Novia, that name—”

"Novia!?"

Before Mashu could even begin to speak, the doctor beside her immediately looked on in surprise.

"This person with that name is actually a magician from the Atlas Academy? Could he have a church background? No, that's not right. Even if he were from the church, it shouldn't be like this. This name is just too... something..."

While the doctor was still wondering, Mashu was already recalling what she sometimes knew about the name.

In the realm of mystery, he is the founder of the Church of God and a saint who influenced the world's magical landscape. In many church scriptures, he is alluded to as the Holy Spirit. Especially after the Great Collapse of the Church in the fifth century, there were many books that alluded to him as the Holy Spirit. Among them, St. Augustine's "City of God," which rebuilt the authority of the Church after the Great Collapse, is the most famous.

In secular terms, he is considered by countless historians to be the one who continued and consolidated the Roman Empire. His role was equivalent to that of the Roman Vice-Emperor. If it weren't for the overly strong deification by the Church, he might very well have been given a title similar to Augustine, becoming the title of the Roman Vice-Emperor.

As for the two's surprise at the name, Da Vinci was relatively normal; her astonishment stemmed from the photograph in the personnel section at the top of the file sent by the Atlas Institute—

It's so similar, it's like Favia reincarnated!

Of course, Leonardo da Vinci did not rule out the possibility that this was the offspring of Favia and Bavanshi after they went to the sea and were born somewhere unknown, or it might just be a simple accident. In fact, ever since he was summoned by Chaldea, when Leonardo da Vinci learned that the fifth sun god in the Americas had a very niche name called Favia, his expression was one of utter confusion.

No, how did this rumor spread? So many years have passed since the Age of Gods, they've all passed away. How could a human become a god? Especially a god-king of a pantheon like a supreme god?

Can the guy who made up this lie please take it seriously?

Leonardo da Vinci was inwardly furious, but then he thought that perhaps Favia and Bavanshi helped the local people after arriving in the Americas, and were therefore deified. In addition, the Spanish invasion later needed a common will, so they promoted them to the top.

After thinking about it this way, Leonardo da Vinci was still happy for Favia. Although you were a fake fifth sun, your name was real, and you have made a name for yourself in history. That's good.

"Who knows? But times change so fast, maybe the church doesn't care about this anymore."

"Da Vinci, is this new employee coming today?"

"To correct you, Mash, she's not a new employee, but a technical staff member from the Atlas Institute stationed in Chaldea. In short, the message from the Atlas Institute was practically an order to the Director. The Director's face turned black, but he still reluctantly agreed. It was quite a sight, hahaha."

"Chief, aren't you angry...?"

"I am angry, but the technology provided by the Atlas Institute is very advanced, and there may be further needs in the future, so I can only lower my head."

"This is what they mean by 'when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.'"

“That’s right, that’s it, Romani.”

Da Vinci smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I should go and prepare for my meeting with this professional. I'll be going now."

After Leonardo da Vinci disappeared from their sight, Mashu turned to Romani and said:

"Sorry, doctor, I should go see Fufu now."

"Ah, okay, Mashu, you can go now."

The girl's figure quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Novia, Novia, Novia... It really is a very good name..."

At that moment, Romani gazed at the fully transparent windows of the Chaldean corridor, his emerald green eyes reflected in the windows.

"As a member of the Holy Church... you who appeared in the Holy Grail War in America, you must have seen it just like me—"

Romani Archaman, whose true form is the first successful example of a Chaldean Heroic Spirit summoning, is Solomon, the ancient king of Israel and the Magic King. He was secretly summoned by the first director of Chaldea. After winning the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, Japan in 2004, he wished to become an ordinary human being through the Holy Grail.

However, in the very instant Solomon became an ordinary human, he saw—

"The moment this world ends."

Thus, the man who began his second life was unable to experience the 'happiness and fulfillment of being human' that he had not been given in his previous life. The 'end of humanity' that he saw in the gap before becoming human deprived him of all his freedom.

From then on, he began a solitary battle, trying to do something before the world was destroyed.

Without the magic circuit and the ability to see far, he could only wander alone in the darkness, tears welling up in his eyes.

……

At this very moment, in Antarctica outside Chaldea, a figure is walking in the frigid world.

Why, you ask? Because Chaldea is there.

This figure is Novia. After returning from the Fa world and settling things with everyone in Romania, he began to ponder how to get to Chaldea.

Looking for El-Melloi? Although the Second Prince did owe him a favor, he couldn't very well change his face just to avoid being recognized.

So after much deliberation, Novia finally chose Shion and became a magician who would maintain the various devices made with Atlas Institute technology so that the Atlas Institute could have a pleasant exchange with Chaldea in the future.

Soon, Novia followed the direction and arrived at the gates of Chaldea—

Then, somewhat confused, he stared at the system display in front of him, as the 'Time Travel' option was flashing and refreshing again. ???

Like the Hunnic period, this is a previously unknown fact.

Speaking of which, for Novia, who had traveled through Rome, the Huns, and South America, and who was himself the sun, it seemed that he could see through the inside of this 'system'. There were four shining objects inside, three of which had dimmed, and the last one was shining fiercely.

This premonition wasn't something that was closely related to Novia or that originated from her. It was as if she had just seen it by chance on the roadside, and in short, it didn't seem to have much of a connection to her.

This premonition is so rare, and it seems to be the 'final' end of this 'system'. Since it's calling, then go for it.

However, let's wait until I join Chaldea, meet everyone, and everything settles down before making any decisions.

However, this time Novia wasn't certain; she had only thought it through in her mind. Immediately following, a gentle, intoxicating sleepiness descended upon her, causing her body to sway softly. The silver-haired youth gently closed his eyes and collapsed at the gates of Chaldea—

"Fu...Fu?!"

But at the same time, seemingly noticing his fall, Chaldea's little white pet immediately rushed over and used its tiny body to cushion his fall.

Holy crap, it's actually the living owner?

That's right, my master's lover is also my master! Fufu, I must obey his orders!

It's true! Master is alive! Master must be very happy, but he's probably still asleep... Well, in that case, I have to keep a close eye on him before he falls asleep again. When he comes, he'll definitely be happy for my efforts!

As for that Meli, she's just a servant, and a disobedient one at that. She's all show and no substance, her heart is rotten to the core. I shouldn't have believed her lie that she had a good relationship with my master (male)!

Fufu thought to herself with great pleasure.

Moreover, it felt that if it didn't help her now, it wouldn't be able to do anything if its owner, Kurohime, who was annoyed by its long absence after running away, skinned it alive...

Then, in the distant past, in the legendary era that had long since ended, the most ancient pantheon on this planet welcomed a light that differed slightly from the original three.

……

This is the spirit within my heart.
