Chapter 1206 FGO Part 2·Prologue 4
Kirshtalia: I'm sure I'll be fine, Kadoc... um... I guess Kadoc, since it seems the more ordinary something is, the more likely it is to cause problems.
Kadoc: I didn't... I didn't... right?
Ophelia: Why not Peperoncino? His background is the most, most, most special.
Peperoncino: O(n_n)O~
Da Vinci said they were all thoroughgoing meritocracy and would show respect to those who had accomplished great things.
She even joked that if they woke up, she probably wouldn't let Ritsuka get a good night's sleep for a week, and would definitely pester him to tell her about the singularity.
At least half of them would get along with Ritsuka, which is why Leonardo da Vinci was worried that the thawing of Group A would affect the future of Chaldea.
Their term ends at the end of the year. If the review committee can finish before the 31st, they can barely make it to help with the thawing surgery. There are still four days left until the end of the year.
Leonardo da Vinci also believed that if circumstances changed, it would undoubtedly happen on the last day of the year, the 31st. Before then, there was no need to panic, but neither should one relax; one should patiently await the opportune moment.
Doctor: Haha, that's true. If they really got to know each other, Ritsuka's life will probably keep her busy for a while.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: (one_one)
Traveler: At least half of them... well, firstly, we've already mentioned three people: Da Vinci and Mashu. Then, Hinako Akuta is probably not good at communicating, but she also wouldn't dislike Ritsuka. Debit is a completely different type, not planning to have anything to do with anyone...
Kirshtaria: Ophelia and Mash are close, so she probably doesn't like Ritsuka to some extent, but they won't have any other conflicts.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Got it. To put it simply, Beryl is genuinely incompatible, while Akuta Hinako and Debit are basically incompatible with everyone because of their personalities.
Beryl: ^_^
Administrator Q: →_→ Actually, Hinako Akuta might not be.
Peperoncino: Hmm? Really? Hinako Akuta is going to have friends too!
Fujimaru Ritsuka: What I'm most worried about right now is that the unfreezing process will cause problems... After all, there's still no other news about A-rent. If something happens that puts them on opposite sides... could it really be related to the unfreezing process?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Anyway, I don't think Group A is on the opposite side because of what Koyanskaya said. After all, it can't be that Da Vinci and the others all misjudged people, right?
Traveler: The probability of everyone misjudging everyone in Group A is extremely low; there must be something wrong with this.
Kirshtalia: Yes, indeed… So we need to be more serious from now on, and we also need to investigate that priest 'Kirei Kotomine' and Koyanskaya.
Olga Marie: Yes, indeed.
Administrator Q: ……→_→
Dan Heng:?
Administrator Q: The former can be found, but the latter is not necessarily true.
Fufu: Fu——!
Soon, it was the 31st, and the clear sky was once again covered with dark clouds.
Inside the confinement room, Ritsuka, Mashu, and Munir, the staff member locked up with them, were worried about Da Vinci. Twelve hours had passed since they were summoned by Goldrov last night.
There are now less than eight hours left until the end of the 31st.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. The priest entered and said he wanted to talk to them. He said that Ritsuka and the others had been cleared of suspicion. The Mage's Association wanted to arrest them, but the Church of Sanctuary was different. They could rightfully recognize Ritsuka and the others' fighting and dedication. His superior, Priest Noi, also praised Ritsuka and the others' struggle.
He even specifically instructed the priest, "Protect them from the Magic Association's covert system; this is the minimum repayment to our benefactor."
Fujimaru Ritsuka: What happened to Leonardo da Vinci?
Da Vinci: Don't worry, I haven't seen them pose any threat to me yet, and I can remain completely still.
Fufu: Fu—(disapproving look)
Doctor: Not necessarily... but if something happens to Da Vinci, those people won't let Ritsuka and the others stay safely in the confinement room either.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: ...also
Gilgamesh: Can't this guy have fewer scenes?
Red A Shimiya: It's rare to agree with your opinion.
Artoria: +1
Cú Chulainn: →_→ This guy is another one of the masterminds behind the scenes, how could he not be on screen?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Uh… for now, he's… rather friendly, right?
Hassan the Hundred-Faced: Oh no, you believed it!
Fujimaru Ritsuka: ...Fine, I won't believe him. Since you all say that, there must be a reason.
Artoria: This guy is pretending to be a good person here, he must have some ulterior motive.
Admin Q: Probably because of the 'pleasure,' after all, he's a priest who evaded taxes.
Aha: Hmm? Are there any talented people here?
Admin Q: No! This isn't it! You can leave!
Fireworks: Hehe~ That's interesting~
In a few hours, the old staff member's house arrest will be lifted; the priest said he has persuaded Goldruff.
When Ritsuka and the others asked about Leonardo da Vinci's situation, the priest said that she was a follower and would not be released. He said that once the work she was currently assisting was finished, she would be forcibly removed.
The priest had a peculiar attitude, believing that the world had no need for the spirits of the past, because this was a world of the living, including even saints. He explained that Servants were good things, and that the concept of the knowledge spirits he despised was just that.
When Ritsuka asked about the work he mentioned involving Leonardo da Vinci, the priest told them that she had been busy in the control room since last night, and that the thawing surgery for Group A had already begun.
In a few minutes, we'll hear the good news of success.
Of course, before Leonardo da Vinci left, the priest said he would still give them the opportunity for a 'last supper,' and that they would be allowed to ride in his helicopter. However, Ritsuka said they would consider that themselves and didn't need the priest's concern.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: In a few more hours... uh, so it has to be nighttime, right?
It must be after the last day of the year ( )
At least it doesn't look like you'll be stuck in solitary confinement from 18 to 19?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: ...That makes sense.
This guy hates Heroic Spirits?
It's like you're saying heroic spirits want to work for someone else →_→
Leonardo da Vinci: Oh dear, that's why I'm working overtime~
Doctor: Keep it up! I believe you can safely thaw everyone in Group A!
Leonardo da Vinci: ...Whose work is this?!
Doctor: Guilty
'The Last Supper'
→_→
Just then, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: the surgery had been successfully completed and the basket had been thawed.
With three minutes remaining before the basket opens, an announcement instructed Father Kotomine to proceed to the control room. Before leaving, Father Kotomine made some cryptic remarks, praising Ritsuka's efforts, self-discipline, and patience to date, while also expressing regret.
It is regrettable that the miracles they achieved will be trampled and destroyed by mortals.
Inside the control room, everyone was waiting for the basket to thaw. Goldruff praised Leonardo da Vinci's abilities and invited her to stay as his secretary, but Leonardo da Vinci naturally declined.
After all, she originally stayed in Chaldea because of the doctor, and then she stayed until now because both the doctor and she herself were worried about Ritsuka.
Therefore, her plan was to leave quietly after everything was over.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: It's always calling people to the control room, and then the person being called is chatting with me... Why does this plot seem so familiar?
Doctor: Uh… So who planted the bomb this time?
Rafe: →_→ It definitely wasn't me.
Artoria: Right now, this guy in the solitary confinement cell looks most like the one who's going to plant the bomb.
Cú Chulainn: You know what I mean, I think the King of Knights has a point.
March 7th: Why not that pink-haired older sister?
good question
Fujimaru Ritsuka: This guy talks weirdly.
Paimon: I always felt there was something hidden in his words.
Fujimaru Ritsuka: How am I calm and collected... I'm already in solitary confinement!
That's really tragic.
But you could also say they were unhurried, since they weren't in a hurry at all.
Good heavens, this guy wants to invite Leonardo da Vinci to be his secretary?
Good eye, but not a quick fix.
I remember Leonardo da Vinci saying that after being summoned, he was going to wander around and leave, but he stayed because of the doctor... Hmm, the reason he didn't leave with the other Servants is because he's worried about Ritsuka, so how could he possibly go work for Goldolf?
Fujimaru Ritsuka: That’s right!
Doctor: I just hope you can actually have dinner →_→ I have a feeling the big one is coming soon.
Leonardo da Vinci: ...You shouldn't say anything either.
March 7th: Cough cough, mainly I also feel... now that they're starting to emphasize the time, it just feels...
Gordrup was somewhat displeased after hearing this, and then urged the staff why the basket had not been opened yet. He was still planning to win over the members of Group A—especially Kirshtalia Wodim.
However, something unexpected happened. When the baskets were opened, everyone was shocked to find that they were completely empty. All the baskets in Group A were empty. They could still detect the reactions before the baskets were opened, but now they had no idea where the Masters who were originally inside had gone.
Da Vinci said there are countless ways to fake the presence of life inside, which means it is very likely that someone opened the container and disguised it within the last ten days.
Just as she was wondering who had done this, the alarm on the loudspeaker went off, and Chaldea's cracks appeared along with the sound of the broadcast, causing Gordolf to scream in panic.
The cracks on Chaldea are widening, the system has automatically shut down the observation lens at Sheba, and staff have detected a large intruder entering.
El-Melloi II: I suddenly think this person's personality is actually quite good. After all, when he gets angry, he just changes the subject and adds a bit of sarcasm →_→
Olga Marie: →_→ Indeed, the fact that they didn't directly point out Da Vinci's Servant status and launch into a tirade of mockery shows that their attitude was already quite good.
Traveler: Mainly because there's that priest who discriminated against Heroic Spirits as a contrast, and Koyanskaya who attacked Fou... um...
Compared to the other two, Goldrov really is a good person.
Kirshtalia: Kid?
Olga Marie: Pfft~ cough cough…
Doctor: Oh no… look at their expressions…
Fujimaru Ritsuka: Oh no! Something's happened!
Kirshtalia: ...? Empty?
——'Schrödinger's Cat'
What they did in those four days... well, I guess it was with those scholars they mentioned before?
In any case, it's most likely related to the people Goldruff brought... or maybe... the members of that review team.
Goldrov: ...It definitely wasn't me, but I don't know about the mercenary Koyanskaya brought. She and that priest clearly have issues... Okay, I have some issues too... I shouldn't trust everyone.
You'd better really learn your lesson.
Goldruff: ...Really!
Alarm? Alright, it seems it's not just the disappearance of Group A Masters anymore.
