chapter 7

As she didn't seem upset, I decided to call the rest of the group to leave the place we were in. As we walked, Mash approached the director and asked with a bit of hesitation, "Um, Director, can I ask you something?".

Understanding Mash's concern, Director Olga promptly responded to reassure her, "If you're referring to what that idiot said, don't worry. I won't get angry over something so trivial." With this response, Mash seemed more relieved, knowing that the director wouldn't be angry with the group because of Dante's words. Mash was fully aware that she wouldn't be able to defeat Dante's servant in battle, and therefore, it was important to maintain a good relationship with him, so they could have his support when needed.

"Well, that wasn't the only thing I wanted to ask," Mash replied, seeming more relaxed. She seemed to want to take the opportunity to clarify all her doubts with Director Olga.

"Mash, you can ask whatever you want," Olga replied with a tone of voice that showed some resistance, but at the same time a willingness to answer questions. She didn't seem very excited about the idea of continuing the conversation, but decided to give Mash the opportunity to ask whatever she wanted.

"This Fuyuki is very different from the Fuyuki in our database. Do you know what happened? Dr. Roman gave an explanation before, but could you explain it better?" Mash asked curiously to Olga.

"Mash, I'll say this only once, so pay attention." Olga spoke to Mash who was beside her. Olga looked at Ritsuka who was talking to me.

"Ritsuka! Come here!" Olga shouted to Ritsuka next to me, Ritsuka ran as soon as Olga had finished shouting her name.

"I'll tell you something, so pay attention." Olga spoke seriously to Ritsuka.

Ritsuka nodded in agreement, demonstrating her interest in hearing what Director Olga had to say. She felt a little tense, realizing that the director was about to make an important statement.

"Chaldea observes the future through an earth model called Chaldeas. At the same time, the Laplace system copies records from ancient history." Olga spoke looking at Mash and Ritsuka, Olga walked a little further ahead with Mash and Ritsuka.

I found it funny, she's trying to say something about Chaldea, but without wanting me to hear it, probably she still doesn't trust me. I wouldn't trust myself either, lol.

Olga continued what she was saying: "It can be said that Laplace's job is to gather data about history that hasn't been told and information that has been forgotten or left behind."

Olga continued to talk about things. I wasn't close enough to hear her, which is a shame because I would have liked to hear what she was saying. Maybe it's something new that she's talking about?

It's quite possible that it's something new, or maybe not, who knows. As we walked, I noticed that we had already left the bridge and now we were in a place with several destroyed buildings.

We stopped in the middle of where the destroyed buildings and houses were. Olga had finished explaining what she was saying before. I remember this part of the game, and I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen. I believe it will be an interesting experience.

"According to the data, three Heroic Spirits were summoned. The first was summoned by my father... I mean, the former director." Olga paused for a minute and continued, "The second and third were summoned after I became director."

"So, which spirits were summoned?" asked Ritsuka, curious. She thinks it's highly likely that the summoned spirit was the same one that Mash fused with, so she's interested in finding out.

"The second Heroic Spirit summoned was the one that Mash fused with. Well, the third Heroic Spirit that was summoned is the one you know, Mash," explained Olga, looking at Mash as she spoke.

"The third spirit is that bizarre one who now resides in Chaldea, Leonardo da Vinci," said Olga, sounding tired just thinking about Leonardo.

"Get ready," I said to Altria, who was beside me. She didn't question it and quickly grabbed her spear, preparing for the imminent battle.

Oh, right, Fou is on my head now. I don't know why he likes her so much. This creature is weird, but seems quite attached to me. Well, who doesn't like me, right?

"One, two, three," I began counting aloud.

"GuOOOOOOO!!"

"Ah!" Olga was startled by the creature that had just appeared not far from her. How did this happen without Romani noticing, I have no idea.

"There are still more of these creatures! Mash, Ritsuka, get rid of these things now!" shouted Olga angrily from the scare she had just gotten.

"Let's take them out, Mash!" Ritsuka shouted to Mash, who promptly positioned herself in front of Ritsuka and Olga, ready to face the enemies.

"Understood, Master!" Mash responded with determination.

"Shall we face this battle, Lancer?" I asked Altria, who was beside me. Although there were only three enemies and I had three Saint Quartz, I knew that this Singularity was far from over. I decided that I wouldn't let any more monsters or enemy Servants escape unpunished.

"As you wish, Master," replied Altria with her cold and expressionless voice.

"Let them have some fun, but next time they appear, we'll destroy anything that crosses our path." I spoke firmly and convincingly in my voice. I would do everything I could to collect as much Saint Quartz as possible, in order to summon more Servants and improve their abilities.

"As you wish, Master," Altria's voice became even colder, almost seeming to have come from the depths of hell. But for some reason, I had the impression that she was excited. Maybe it was just my imagination.

I fixed my eyes on the imposing horse that Altria was riding and suddenly decided to pinch the creature, wanting to test its attention. The animal promptly responded by emitting an unsatisfied sound, clearly denoting its displeasure with my action.

"Master, I ask that you behave with more maturity," Altria reprimanded me with a severe voice, while her horse stared at me with red, angry eyes.

"It seems I've finally managed to elicit a different reaction from you, other than your usual behavior. You need to be more expressive, my dear Lancer," I commented, making a positive gesture with my thumb towards her.
