Chapter 145

I had to carefully avoid the resulting food fight when Artoria took umbrage at the sheer waste of food when Cu somehow engraved runes onto a plate of plate of spaghetti that turned the noodles into hardened strips of wire that tore through the surroundings and the meat balls exploded like small grenades...

I wanted nothing to do with a fight where a five-foot flat girl was using a table as a bludgeoning instrument to quote 'punish the heretics!' in her words.

Either way, I made my way back to the main control room in hopes of talking to the management and seeing how long I had till the next Singularity was locked onto and whether I could sneak off back to Danmachi to update my falna and spend some time with Hestia, and the rest of my girls.

As I walked into the main control room, I saw Romani and Da Vinci working over one of the monitor's quietly discussing something so I just made my way over and I could see Da Vinci twitch as she heard my approach.

"Oya. The interloper is here Hehe." Da Vinci said grandly as she spun around with her arms open as though welcoming me here to Chaldea.

I smiled lightly seeing the famed inventor didnt seem overtly hostile towards me, but I could tell she was certainly weary of me with the way she was shielding Romani behind herself.

"I knew I couldn't get one over, on someone of your intelligence." I said as I dropped a chair on the ground beside the monitor and didnt even twitch as Romani closed whatever data or program was within it showing only a blank blue screen. "Anyway, I wanted to clear the air as it were, as although I certainly have my goals in coming to Chaldea. I will say right here and now that they do not conflict with the goals of preserving Human History." I explained making Da Vinci and Romani share a glance to one another.

Seeing as we were the only people here on this side of the operations room and so long as we didnt yell or anything, the other tech flunkies wouldn't be of any issue should a few secrets come out.

"What do you want with Chaldea then. I am not like Olga who has just overlooked your sudden appearance as the bombs gone off in latching onto you." Romani spoke as he wore a wry smile.

I however knew what was behind this playful facade of mediocrity, so I gave a matching knowing smile. "Solomon... I desire the battles that will come in the coming Singularities to grow stronger. Oh, and snagging a bunch of treasures will happen as well"

Romani Arachman AKA. The Grand Caster Servant Solomon's hands twitched and for a split second I saw the illusions of a set of rings on all her fingers and I prepared to space skip behind the mage and take off his head to protect myself from whatever he could do.

Thankfully he instead relaxed and just sighed brushing his hands over his face, obviously stressed about the events that has happened over the past day.

Which I honesty couldn't blame him. I mean if I wanted to just be a salted fish who only did the bare minimum of work and I had the potential survival of humanity dropped onto my lap, I would definitely be a bit stressed.

"Look Romani, or whatever you want to be called." I shrugged with my hands open to show my openness as I continued to speak. "I just want an adventure; I have zero plans or desires to ruin this world's chance of survival." Well, being a 'good guy' is one part of me wanting to help, the other is that the entitles that monitor this timeline Gaia and Alaya won't take me a blank to their senses overthrowing the board all too well.

But if I help save the world then, even if I am a blank to their senses then I will obviously be left alone so they can watch the worlds apocalypse unfold.

"Romani, I think we should give him a chance. He is basically as trustable as any of the other employee's here in Chaldea, and with the rest of the world destroyed he doesn't have anywhere else to go." Da Vinci said blandly, and I could see Romani just giving up as he loudly slurped his coffee rolling his eyes.

"So, who made your sword, armor, and other stuff? Was it Hephaestus or another god?" Da Vinci questioned me excitedly and my face twitched at the reminder of how I had won over Hephaestus and spent the night with her.

Thankfully she isn't nearly as needy as Freya and is taking this next five years where she is pregnant to just take up more mentor related duties in her Familia rather than working herself to the bone doing commissions.

I shook my head as I replied. "No, I have created all my gear."

Da Vinci's eyes lit up at seeing another craftsman and we soon began talking shop as she showed off her staff and some of its functions and after explaining a bit about my fusing and its properties with fusing the core elements of objects and their conceptual ideal into better forms of itself.

Like for example I had already tested fusing structures together to make better ones like when I was fusing large quantities of materials straight into the Hestia Church and when we bought out the surrounding land, I simply fused the already destroyed surrounding buildings into the Hestia church to enlarge it.

Romani quickly made his escape not wanting us to talk his eyes off citing how with the Servant's leaving the wrecked cafeteria and kitchen the other poor mortals could go clean up and make their own food now that the details about the last Singularity were gathered.

Before Romani left, I asked something that had been bugging me as I came here to FGO. "Hey, how are we supposed to summon more Servant's or was that a onetime thing or something?"

"Oh! I got this Romani, go ahead and get your snacks." Da Vinci said waving the acting Director of Chaldea away who took the excuse to almost jog out of the operations room.

"Well Jake, Chaldea has obviously face significant damage, so unfortunately we can only maintain up to a grand total of five Servant's on the field in a Singularity and still be able to fuel however many Servants a master can contract when they are out on the field." Da Vinci coughed seeing my expression clearly saying get on with it...

"Well as of now we can still fuel a dozen or so Servant's if they are simply staying here in Chaldea, but we are quickly repairing the mana engines and with each Holy Grail you guys get, we can support more Servant's." Da Vinci explained.

I blinked and realized if I fused whatever machine was taking the mana from the grails and fused them with the grails it was likely I could create what was in essence a perpetual motion machine if only attuned to creating mana to fuel the Servant's I was inevitably going to drag back to Danmachi.

I as a man need to snag my own Tamamo to floof fluffy tails...
