chaotic neutral chaldea

Although the appearance and voice of the "Diarmuid" in front of him and even the data displayed by the spirit base are false, the appreciation in the eyes of the other party is undoubtedly true.Even the invitations he issued contained ten percent sincerity.

It's a pity that Fujimaru Lixia chose to refuse.

"Sorry, my sister told me that you must never follow someone you don't know casually."

"Huh? So is this a refusal of my invitation?"

"Yeah, wait until you show your true colors to others next time."

The black-haired young master spoke decisively, and did not give the opposite "Diarmuid" a chance to refute.

It's just that he didn't expect that the more he refused, the more "Diarmuid" was interested in him.

"No need for next time, as long as you come to my side, I can show you whether it's the real face or anything else~"

The words that sounded like a yellow accent immediately made the young master's face black, but before he changed the master dress icon on his wrist to something else, Robin Hood was wearing the [King of Faceless] cloak to prevent sneak attacks from behind. finally appeared.

"...Go to hell! Don't casually bring down my master!"

Along with Archer Robin Hood's curse, there are also crossbow arrows tied to his wrist.The swift crossbow | The arrow flew out quickly, and the venom-coated tip looked a bit strangely dark.And just when "Diarmuid" wanted to repeat the same trick and continue to get close to Robin Hood for melee combat, his ankle stepped on a steel trap in an instant.

"?!"

For Heroic Spirit, a mere bear trap is naturally not a problem.But Robin Hood is obviously very skilled at arranging traps - starting from the bear trap, he began to use all kinds of piano wires, nails, blades and even broken glass to arrange the surroundings very randomly.And from the first step that "Diarmuid" walked into his trap, it had already indicated that he was completely involved in Robin Hood's countless traps.

"Hey, little brother who can't see his true face. In this way, we won't know who Assassin is at all~"

However, the next second after that "Diarmuid" said this sentence, the young master of Chaldea touched his chin and showed a clear look.

"I see, you are Assassin."

"..."

Accidentally exposed his job agency, "Diarmuid" finally put away his contempt.He kept his mouth shut, for fear of leaking extra information because of what he said.

But even so, Fujimaru Lixia could vaguely see something.

——The fist and kick...why is it a bit like the boxing kung fu from China that Mr. Li Shuwen showed?

Not knowing that his scope has been confined to the category of Assassin heroes in China, "Diarmuid" is still working hard to fight against a series of traps of Robin Hood.It's a pity that Robin Hood has been hiding in the cloak of [The Faceless King] from the beginning to the end, and even though "Diarmuid" is jumping in anger, he is determined not to reveal his true location.

At the same time, the real Diarmuid also rushed back with Archer from Academy City.

"Master, please leave that 'me'! That guy is a fake!!!"

Diarmuid immediately sent the demon-breaking red rose forward, and the palm that was originally holding the center of the gun body moved to the end of the gun body at this moment.In addition, Diarmuid's speed was already very fast, which immediately increased his attack range a lot.And this range of about half a meter is very obvious when viewed from the side, but for the "Diarmuid" who is welcoming him head-on, the slight visual gap will immediately force his body back.

At the same time, Archer of Academy City also launched an attack.

Although he has forgotten his real name, Archer in Academy City still has his own attack methods.The pure white heavy cannon has an elegant cello-like decoration on the top, and its pure white appearance makes it look more like a huge instrument than a weapon.With the surge of magic power, this giant weapon was summoned by Academy City's Archer just as he raised his hand.Then, the moment the elderly gentleman held the chain, countless bullet-like attacks poured out from the pure white coffin.They are intertwined with each other, like a fine spider web, tightly covering that fake Diarmuid.

"Oh, it's so dangerous, so dangerous~"

Realizing that he was being besieged, "Diarmuid" finally put away the frivolous and playful smile on his face.But even so, from his tone, he can still hear his contempt for the servants around Fujimaru Rikka.

"Forget it, let's stop here today... Hey BB, it's done, send me back~"

He waved his hand at a place where there was nothing, although this action looked like a lunatic, but for Fujimaru Rikka and Kamijou Touma, who had already known such things as [Staying Loop Line] from Accelerator, this disguised The intention of the servant who looked like Diarmuid was already obvious.

He is using the air loops that can be found everywhere in Academy City to contact BB... In other words, this servant is the guy that BB summoned with the Holy Grail and exists as a guard.

"[Really! You are free to move again! No matter what flattery you say to me this time, it's useless, BB will definitely teach you a lesson!]"

"Ahahahaha, don't be like this. And this time I also got very interesting information...I promise that my messy behavior will be the last time, so please spare the little one again, BB Goddess?"

"[...You really only talk the sweetest when you please me.]"

The BB's voice from the broadcasting system near the street is quite clear, but this also proves from the side that the [Stay Loop] only has the function of recording images, and does not have the functions of audio and speakers that can be used as communication tools... Otherwise, Fujimaru Lixia and the others don't need to do anything, as long as BB uses the [Staying Loop] to conduct remote command, it is enough to incite all the students in this Academy City to flock into their base like crazy.

However, what Fujimaru Lixia cares more about at present is the "transmission" that the servant in front of him said when communicating with BB.

What are the terms of use for "teleportation" they speak of?Are there limits to range and distance?Is it only possible to transfer servants, or can humans also transfer?What is the specific principle of its completion of transmission?Is it BB's own skills?Or, is it a research already in this Academy City?Or is it related to the ever-expanding digitization phenomenon of Academy City?

A series of questions occupied the brain of the young master in an instant, but compared to those, the most worrying thing was the farewell message left by the servant who was disguised as Diarmuid.

"There are too many people bothering you this time. It's a pity. It's rare to meet such an interesting guy...I said, Brother Master, do you really stop thinking about me? I really like you very much yo~"

"Don't even think about it!"

Almost at the same moment, Archer's bullets from Academy City, Diarmuid's [The Destroyed Yellow Rose] and Robin Hood's crossbow | arrows all attacked the fake Diarmuid, but unfortunately that follower had already died. Disappeared under a certain operation of BB, leaving only his arrogant and rude words, and the pothole that was destroyed by the three servants.

"Master, such a disrespectful person... please allow me to defeat this guy who pretended to be me and approached you with my own hands next time!"

"Ah, I'll forget it, but I have to report today's incident to another female master. If she finds out, she will definitely..."

"Diarmuid and Robin Hood, both of you are almost calm down!"

"No, I don't think this has anything to do with calmness—you know, boy, you were treated by that guy as 'something you are interested in and wants to get'. Neither is it like BB who treats you as someone who needs to be dealt with The enemy is not like the guard who met another girl yesterday who took you as the target of the task that must be dealt with. He will appear here to issue the so-called "invitation" to you. A scoundrel who wants what he wants and will get it no matter what...it's the attitude that's so rude that it doesn't even treat you as a human being with its own will, and that's what really makes me angry."

"Huh? Is that so? But why do I feel that Diarmuid seems to be so angry that that guy used his appearance to approach me, and Robin Hood is also. Rather than being angry, he seems to be more concerned about letting his sister know about today's incident. more interested."

"This, this..."

The old gentleman who has always been calm and polite still couldn't hold back his expression, but seeing his embarrassed and at a loss, Fujimaru Rikka couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because the atmosphere was too tense just now, so I subconsciously played tricks on Mr. Archer... It's just my wicked joke, please forgive me~"

However, even though he knew that he was being teased, seeing the smiling face of the young master, especially the blue eyes that were smiling because of himself, Archer in Academy City felt that his heart seemed to be being controlled by a weapon named Pierced by "Moe" arrows.

He covered his chest and turned away, not daring to look at the sly and cute smile of the young master like a little fox.And for some reason, for Fujimaru Lixia's behavior, he actually felt a faint sense of relief in his heart.

It was as if...he had a natural love of seeing bad behavior happen.

"Mr. Archer? What's wrong? Suddenly froze in place, did you remember something?"

"Eh? Ah, sorry, I was just distracted for a while."

The gray-haired elderly gentleman shook his head, indicating that he was fine.But at that moment just now, he realized that his love for [Evil] was deeply buried in his heart and firmly remembered.

***

Despite being delayed for a while by that unknown Assassin, there was still work to be done.

For example, collecting materials.

"Let's go directly to the stronghold of the armed incompetent group to find supplies."

"Really? Are you sure?"

Unexpectedly, Kamijou Touma was the first to object, not the servants around Rikka Fujimaru.

The boy with the black hedgehog head scratched his head. Although he was quite protective of Fujimaru Rikka's "distress" just now, Kamijou Touma immediately voted against his decision to continue exploring.

"Let's not mention that there is a [Staying Loop] intelligence network operated by BB nearby to monitor us, just relying on the group of armed incompetents entrenched here, we are absolutely unable to deal with it!"

Perhaps because of being in misfortune for many years, he has cultivated a keen intuition for misfortune, Kamijou Touma vaguely sensed the trouble they will face next.Although he really wanted to express this intuition, Fujimaru Rikka, who had been very interested in arming groups of incompetents since just now, convinced him with a series of reasons——

"The convenience stores and supermarkets near here should have been 'patronized' by them, and there are not many fast food products left for us to use. Although Boudica can cook, in order to avoid problems, I personally I think we should try our best to find easy-to-use instant food...Of course, these should have been taken over by the group of armed incompetents, so the two of us without superpowers are the most suitable for mixing in."

Having said that, the young master with black hair and blue eyes showed a rather troublesome arc at the corner of his mouth.

"We just need to sneak in quietly and without a trace. Anyway, we don't want to confront them head-on, so there's no problem~"

"...But haven't all our plans been collected by the [Staying Loop]?"

“[If you’re talking about the ubiquitous 70-nanometer monitor, don’t worry, we’ve already worked out a solution here in Chaldea!]”

The blue holographic projection made its debut, but it's a pity that the projected person is completely insulated from the word "shining".

Dr. Roman propped his chin with his left hand, and clicked something on the keyboard with his right hand.Although there is still a certain difference between the holographic projection and the real person, anyone can see that this man in a white coat and ponytail is mentally exhausted to the point where he can fall asleep standing up.

"[Although it was not obvious at the beginning, there is an irreversible time flow gap between the singularity AMW04040711 (Academy City) where you, Fujimaru-kun, and the time on Chaldea—]"

Even though Romani Akiman still looks so sleepy that he will fall down anytime and anywhere at the moment, when he mentions issues closely related to human masters, he gives the impression that he suddenly becomes energetic .

"[On the first day, the two sides were still in a constant 1:1 state, but after we noticed that the time flow between each other was not equal, that is, the third day on Fujimaru's side, it was only equivalent to our Caleb Three hours over here!]”

"Wait?! So slow?!"

"[Yes, so the current situation is quite serious! It was originally planned to solve the problem of Chaldea's route within three days, and the progress of correcting the shape and posture of the servants with two heads is already the last time that nearly half of Chaldea's manpower has been invested. It's time. But if the flow of time between the two sides continues to be so unequal, I'm afraid that before our side can fix the size problem of the servants, your time at the singularity will be long enough to affect your health to the point of.]”

Having said that, Dr. Roman also showed Fujimaru Lixia some charts and data on his computer screen.Kamijou Touma next to him mustered up the courage to poke his head and take a look, and immediately felt like a scumbag, holding his head and silently silent.On the contrary, it was Lixia himself who relished these data, and even roughly calculated the most reasonable singularity processing time.

"So that's the case, we only have seven days left."

"[Maybe you can't feel it in Lixia, but everyone in Chaldea is now racing against time. And because the situation on your side is too special, we have to temporarily suspend the restoration of the servant's posture and try our best to Putting manpower into the monitoring of the singularity AMW04040711 (Academy City), proving the existence of you and Tachika, the two human masters and servants, and trying to find the root of the flow of time, trying to find out from Chaldea. Interfering with time to restore normal time-to-flow ratios.]”

The doctor with the pink-orange ponytail paused before continuing.

"[Of course, these are a lot of calculations that Chaldea needs to deal with. In comparison, the quantum fluctuations that interfere with the work of the air loop released by Da Vinci's Master Ceremony Bracelet can only be counted as It's a trivial matter. But it's a pity that although the outside side has been successfully completed, due to the abnormal flow of time on both sides, your side has finally started to take effect now... Oh, damn, if the time difference is not so big, The annoying follower just now must not be able to contact BB through the air loop and then teleport away.]”

Dr. Roman scratched his head, then seemed to think of something suddenly, and immediately patted the screen and approached his face and said:

"[Wait a minute! I suddenly thought of BB's teleportation principle! Because I have always considered it as a follower, I have ignored the phenomenon of digitalization in Academy City... Yes, plus BB's proficiency in computer operations Hmm, Lixia, listen to me, BB’s transmission should be the same as when we use the computer to move a certain file (person/servant) from one area (folder) to another in the mode of cutting and pasting Area (folder)! This is her teleportation principle! Ah, no, I have to tell other technicians about this quickly. The movement of data, the application of space, and the speed of connection with Academy City's data transformation... Huh, it looks like I'm going to be busy again_(:з」∠)_]”

"It's okay, Roman, just go and work hard. After all, you are behind me, so you have to support me well~"

"[...Well, the communication can end here! I, I, I, I'll go first!!!]"

Looking at the sudden end of the holographic projection, Kamijou Touma was silent for a moment, feeling sincerely saddened by the words "Let's hurry up and find the group of armed incompetents" that he wanted to blurt out just now. .

——But, Fujimaru-kun in a good mood, can't you really turn your head and look at the three servants behind you who are about to materialize into flames of anger? ? ?
