Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"The detailed data will be available later, and I will give it to you along with the comprehensive physical examination test results."

Seeing that Amiya seemed to be very concerned about Emiya's affairs, Kal'tsit naturally had no plans to continue following the two of them.

She is very busy, and it is not easy for her to spare this little time.

"And a physical examination?"

After going through the difficult hour and a half just now, Emiya really doesn't want to hear the word "physical examination" again.

"It's just a physical examination before the operators are put into the files. You also did it at Penguin Logistics. It's just a simple assessment of the operators' combat capabilities so that Rhodes Island can better arrange the tasks."

Seeing Emiya's face full of disgust for the physical examination, Amiya just found it a little funny and explained it by the way.

"But before that, I want to briefly talk to Emiya about something, so Amiya, please go out first."

Looking at Emiya's appearance at the moment, Kal'tsit suddenly remembered that there was something she had to ask Emiya himself first.

However, Amiya needs to be dealt with first, after all, this involves Amiya's sore spot.

"Okay, I'll wait outside then."

Amiya had no doubt about what Dr. Kal'tsit said, and went out directly with the documents and terminal she would need next.

He also closed the door thoughtfully.

"..."

Emiya, who had changed back into the Penguin Logistics uniform, felt a little embarrassed when he saw Dr. Kal'tsit still looking at the data on the terminal in front of him.

Who made the other party be on guard against him all the time?

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary alert, but Shirou could feel that the level of danger emanating from the other person was no less than that of other people.

At least in the conference room, when he was questioning the other party, the other party gave off a stronger danger signal than when Sir Chen waved the knife at him.

"Relax, as long as you are not a threat to Rhodes Island, Amiya and the others, I will not do anything to you."

Seeing Emiya's current embarrassment, Kal'tsit said.

At this moment, Emiya no longer looked like the so-called last line of defense of Penguin Logistics, but more like an ordinary person.

I will get embarrassed by some trivial things, and I will also play pranks with my own people.

As she herself said, as long as Emiya does not pose a threat to Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit will not push him to the enemy side.

Not to mention that she herself needed help, just based on what happened in the conference room just now, Kal'tsit felt that Emiya's level of danger could be listed even higher.

Anyway, there is no need for Rhodes Island to confront the other side. After all, the two sides have many similarities and ideas.

"…Okay, then what do you want to tell me, Dr. Kal'tsit?"

After hearing Kal'tsit's words and the slight kindness she showed, Emiya had to suppress his embarrassed thoughts and asked the other party.

I just said that there is no big problem with the data...so it shouldn't be that there is something wrong with his body, right?

So what could it be?

Could it be that he just couldn't get along with that guy and took it out on him?

Although strictly speaking the other party is also Shirou Emiya, Emiya will not take over the mess left by the other party.

Moreover, he had only seen some fragments of the other person's memories before his death, and had no understanding of what kind of person he was.

But probably they just don't get along.

Anyway, let's put Archer in the upper layer first, after all, we have never met each other.

By the way, at the bottom are the Hero King and the priest.

"Just some questions about magic. It's an interesting concept, isn't it?"

Without much nonsense, Kal'tsit opened the topic directly.

Magicians... or what Wuming called magicians, that's not important, what's important is the energy they consume to drive magic.

That is the so-called magic.

The people on this land do not have magic power in their bodies, but Wuming still signed a contract with Amiya and relies on her to move around in this land.

Amiya, who has no magic power, uses the Originium produced by the Originopathy in her body to maintain the opponent's activities.

I don't know the principle, but after signing the contract with the other party, the fusion rate of Amiya's somatic cells and Originium has indeed decreased.

It's a reduction, not a slowdown.

According to her original estimate, Amiya's Originium fusion rate should have reached 17% or even more, but now it is only in the single digits.

The only price she paid was a red tattoo on her right hand.

But the other side is not so optimistic. In the words of the other party, the magic power converted from the Originium is impure, which means that it can be used but will consume his spiritual foundation.

Finally, a large number of golden patterns appeared on his body, and finally turned into magic photons and disappeared.

What Kal'tsit wanted to ask was very simple, which was whether Emiya knew that he could convert Originium into magic power.

If she knew, she would have the need to tell the other party the worst case scenario.

It would be better if she didn't know. She would make an agreement with Amiya and other people who knew about it not to mention it.

After all, now Emiya doesn't need to rely on others for magical support to move like Wuming, and when he was wearing physical examination clothes, there were no obvious scars on his body.

So this time, Kal'tsit would only ask the other party's opinion from the side.

"Magic? What do you want to know? I don't really understand the operating principle. Compared to the concept of a magician, my father and I are more like the oddballs among magicians. We only use magic as a tool..."

After hearing that the other party wanted to know the concept of magic power, Emiya found it understandable.

Having already met people like Is, Emiya is no longer afraid of such curious people.

"A magician, right? I know that. What I want to know is how you get the magic power here."

Kal'tsit interrupted Emiya halfway through his words.

You know, Amiya is still waiting for Emiya outside, and she doesn't want to let Amiya wait too long.

"Getting magic power? If I remember correctly... it should be converting life force into magic power through magic circuits?"

I take back what I said. We should be afraid of someone like Kal'tsit.

The other person always looked calm, making Emiya feel like he was facing a school teacher.

The current scene is that the teacher is asking him what he has learned in the past.

"Life force? In other words, overdrawing life in exchange for magic power?"

Hearing Emiya's words, Kal'tsit frowned.

If she was going to fight at the cost of her own life, then she would have to reconsider her arrangements regarding Emiya.

"It's not that serious. You'll recover after a rest."

Seeing the other person frowning, Emiya hastily added some explanation.

It seemed like the teacher was not satisfied with the answer, and as a student he quickly added some explanation.

Fortunately, the other party was very satisfied with this additional answer, and his frown relaxed.

"Then I roughly understand. In addition to converting magic power from your own life force, do you have any other way to obtain magic power?"

Her frown relaxed, and Kal'tsit briefly recorded the additional details on the terminal before moving on to the main question of the conversation.

"Other ways? If you establish a connection with other magicians, it seems that you can also absorb it from them. I'm not sure about the other methods."

After thinking about it for a while, Emiya could only think of the magic replenishment through body fluids, and some kind of magic ritual that Rin used.

However, the former is a bit broad, and Emiya currently does not know whether he can draw magic power from the people on Terra's side, so he has not experimented with it.

After all, drinking other people's blood feels weird! Emiya really doesn't want to try it unless it is necessary.

If it's the latter, then he really doesn't understand the principle.

"Contact? Establish a contract?"

Hearing this key word, Kal'tsit asked.

"You can say that, but I don't know how to establish such a ritual."

Emiya nodded and said this, without mentioning another way to obtain magic power.

He was afraid that the other party would ask him to drink other people's blood.

After experiencing Is's questioning, Emiya could be said to be quite cautious and cautious when facing this situation.

"I see. Let me ask you one last question. Have you ever had anything strange happen to you in the past?"

After making sure that Emiya was not lying, or that the other party had no intention of lying at all, Kal'tsit took note of it and asked her final question.

At the same time, she had already started thinking about how to tell Amiya.

"Strange things...?"

Faced with this question, Emiya didn't understand what the other party meant for a moment.

"Lines, tattoos, and the like. Operator Wuming seems to have many golden lines on his body due to the so-called spiritual foundation problem. Although you are different from him, you are still related. I will record it for the sake of caution."

Kal'tsit gave a brief description of Wuming, appropriately using him as a shield.

Sometimes, concealing something does not necessarily mean hiding it completely. Directly letting the other party fall into another misunderstanding is also a good way to hide the facts.

"Hmm... lines? It seems there were some, but they were very fine black lines. They disappeared after a while. So it seems that magic power can be directly obtained from the source stone."

After the other party's explanation, Emiya thought about it for a moment.

He was quite impressed by this, after all, Archer had told him afterwards that they could draw magic power from the Originium, but it was also somewhat dangerous.

After that, he would avoid direct contact with the Originium, and even the projected Chi Xiao was left in the room to collect dust.

If Chen Sir knew about this, he would probably just pick up Chi Xiao's real body and chop him to pieces.

"…Have you tried it?"

After hearing Emiya's words, Kal'tsit's eyes gradually narrowed, even a little dangerous.

Why didn't you mention such an important thing just now?

"It was a little accident that I came into contact with it, but the feeling at that time was not very good so I didn't try it again afterwards."

Archer was not mentioned this time, after all, Emiya really didn't want to continue the one-on-one conversation with him.

The way the other person narrowed his eyes really made him feel under a lot of pressure.

I feel like if I give Archer away, the other party will definitely ask more questions.

And what he said was true. He still hadn't touched or researched the Originium much. After all, Rhodes Island was still counting on him to research something from his blood. It would be bad if he became infected because of his curiosity.

"Then don't try it. Originium is very dangerous."

Kal'tsit warned, staring at the other person with slightly narrowed eyes.

"I still know this, please rest assured."

Hearing the other party's warning, Emiya nodded obediently.

"Then I don't have any questions to ask. When you get out, don't tell anyone else about what we just talked about."

After finishing the question-and-answer session, Kal'tsit turned her gaze directly back to her terminal and told Emiya that she could leave.

"…OK."

Seeing the other party suddenly drive the guest away, Emiya just felt relieved.

I should have kept Amiya just now.

Just as Emiya opened the door and saw Amiya standing outside busy with the terminal, Kal'tsit suddenly called him from behind:

"Although it's a little late now, welcome to Rhodes Island. Let Amiya show you around. I hope you will like it here."

"I will."

Turning his head, Emiya still saw Dr. Kal'tsit recording the data with her back to him, as if those words just now were not said by her.

But Emiya knew very well that it was not an auditory hallucination. After all, Amiya outside was looking at Kal'tsit inside with some surprise.

Out of politeness, Emiya gave a brief answer and then closed the door of the room.
