I want to just drift through life in Type-Moon.

“I didn’t fall in love.” Yuzhu didn’t look away, staring straight at Orange. “It’s just that staying here makes me feel a little better.”

Orange was taken aback, then her expression softened considerably. She lovingly embraced the girl who had lost all her family, gently stroking the back of her head: "I'm so sorry about Uncle. If only I had the puppetry technology that Lingjun described, or if I had seen those things a few years earlier..."

Kuonji Yuzu gently shook her head, stroking Touko's chest. "No, it's okay, Touko. Dad's death was inevitable, and he loved Mom deeply. If he hadn't been so attached to me, he would have followed Mom long ago."

At this point, Yuzhu took a deep breath, suppressing the tears in her eyes, "So, even if you have the ability to save him, I don't think Dad will accept it."

Orange felt a deep tenderness for the girl in her arms. Although she knew that the girl would choose to help Aoko in the future, it did not affect her feelings for her now.

Moreover, after seeing those things, things have taken a big turn for the better. No matter how things develop in the future, she will not make the same choice as that other person.

Chapter 82 Two Girls Who Lost Their Fathers (Part 2)

Grand Designation World Line:

In 2012, at the southernmost point of the human world, at longitude 0 degrees west, the Antarctic continent was hidden by magic. In the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of 6,000 meters, there existed an underground organization built for a great mission.

Its name is the Humanity Survival Guarantee Organization, Phineas Chaldea. Its function and responsibility are to ensure the long and resilient continuation of human history. It is an institute and observatory that brings together researchers from all fields, including magic and science.

To observe this world, one cannot see its full picture through magic alone, nor can one fully grasp its entirety through science alone.

This is a joint intelligence agency established by various countries to prevent human extinction (Bad End).

Not long ago, the sudden death of the institute's director, Maris-Billey Animusphere, one of the twelve noble families of the Clock Tower and the monarch of the Celestial Sciences, caused some turmoil within the institute.

Although Chaldea was established with funding from various countries, 70% of the funds came from the Animush family, the magicians' association in London. This is why the patriarch of the Animush family was able to become the head of this special organization.

However, when the director passed away unexpectedly and his body was found in the director's office, the entire Chaldea was thrown into chaos, and the position of director was taken over by the former director's daughter, who was only fourteen years old at the time.

This plunged all the employees of Chaldea into a state of panic.

The successor, Olga Marie Asmireid Animsphere, was someone they were all very familiar with.

As an aristocrat, he is arrogant, self-righteous, and short-tempered. If it weren't for Professor Rafe's assistance, this place would probably be in chaos long ago.

On this day, the new director walked angrily toward the location of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System.

This morning, she received some bad news: the Clock Tower's Havi family questioned her ability to maintain Chaldea's operation and even said they would review whether to continue funding her.

This unusually arrogant attitude infuriated the proud and haughty princess, who angrily told the Harvey family's representative on the spot, "It doesn't matter if you withdraw your investment."

However, she wasn't stupid, so she knew exactly why things were in this situation. Therefore, she was eager to do something, preferably something big, to stabilize people's hearts.

Accompanying her was Lev Lainur, who had been recruited by her father and had been working there for ten years.

Walking down the bright and clean corridor, Rafe nodded to the staff passing by while constantly trying to persuade those around him: "Olga Marie, calm down. Even if you do this, it won't help. Those people are like sharks that smell blood. Even if you succeed, they will still be eager to swim over and take a bite."

"I don't care! I have to try, don't I? Am I supposed to just sit here and watch my father... watch our Animusfia's hard work be taken away by someone else!" The girl, completely enraged, wouldn't listen to any advice. At this moment, she only wanted to do one thing that she was determined to do.

She wants to summon new Heroic Spirits for Chaldea.

If she, as the director, accomplished this feat, she believed all the rumors would vanish instantly. This place was everything her beloved father had left her, and she had to inherit it no matter what.

Professor Rafe shook his head and sighed helplessly beside him. He knew very well that Olga Marie was neither a Master nor qualified to use the Spirit Transfer Device.

But he couldn't say anything now, since the plan hadn't started yet, and the most important thing, the Spirit Particle Calculation Device Trismegistus, wasn't finished. He still had to pretend to be a competent staff member and keep an eye on everything in Chaldea.

Upon reaching the Heroic Spirit Summoning Room, Olga Marie suddenly stopped in front of the door, and Lev also stopped in his tracks.

"Rafe, are you angry that I'm too willful?" Olga Marie lowered her head, not letting the people next to her see her expression.

Upon hearing this question, Rafe suppressed a dark emotion and said softly, "I know you're under a lot of pressure, Olga Marie, but with me, Romani, and Da Vinci by your side, things will get better step by step."

His implication was that he wanted Olga Marie to abandon that reckless idea, since it seemed like a waste of resources.

As an being who knows the past and present and can predict the future, he is already extremely disgusted with humanity, but he has to endure it for the sake of his grand plan.

Hearing his reply, Olga Marie might have misunderstood, thinking he was encouraging her, so she blushed a little and said, "Thank you, Rafe. I don't know what I would have done without you."

After saying this, Olga Marie seemed to feel shy as she opened the door and walked into the summoning room.

Rafe remained unmoved. Although he didn't hate Olga Marie, the sins of the father must be paid by the son. Since she was going to inherit everything from her father, then she should also pay for those dirty sins!

In the summoning room, the staff who had been notified in advance were already waiting. When Olga Marie entered, most of them stopped what they were doing and watched her quietly.

After all, Olga Marie is currently the nominal head of Chaldea, and no matter how much she cares, she still needs to be treated with the necessary respect.

Even so, the atmosphere at the scene was still heavy, since most people did not agree with today's experiment.

In their view, Olga Marie was wasting her time here; she would be better off doing some public relations at the Clock Tower or dealing with the backlog of documents in her office.

Because everyone knows that this girl named Olga Marie Asmirette Animusfia has no spiritual adaptability and is not even qualified to become a Master.

This point has already been demonstrated by that qualification test back then.

Olga Marie knew this, of course, but she persisted because last night, in her dream, a kind-looking white-haired man told her that today's summoning would surely succeed.

She glanced at everyone, suppressed her unease, and announced loudly, "All to your positions! The Heroic Spirit Summoning Experiment is about to begin!"

After saying that, she ignored everyone's gaze and went to the center of the summoning room. Here, she placed a huge bet, and no matter the outcome, she would face it bravely.

God... if you truly exist, please bless me so that I may succeed! And Heavenly Father, look upon Olga now, I will not let you down...

With these thoughts in mind, Olga Marie walked to the giant spirit disk to make final preparations.

Chapter 83 Chaldea Recommended Summoning in 2012 (Part 1)

"Um, Director, are you really not going to reconsider?" A seemingly useless person stood up and asked Olga Marie, who was standing in front of the Summoning Spirit Foundation Plate.

"Shut up! Romani Archman! You useless piece of trash! No dissent allowed!"

Hearing that voice, which sounded thin and languid like a sleeping mouse, Olga Marie felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

To this day, she still doesn't understand why this lazy person who only plays games and seems so useless would be Chaldea's chief physician!

But this person had been by her father's side for a long time, and could even be said to have watched her grow up just like Rafe, so even though she knew he was useless, Olga Marie could only put up with it.

The man, who had been scolded by her, sat back down in his seat dejectedly. Next to him, a beautiful woman whose clothes and appearance were completely out of place with everyone else patted him on the shoulder, as if to say not to worry about it.

Rafe Lenore did the same thing. After all, this person was a colleague he had worked with for many years, so he still had some feelings for him, and he wouldn't have much hostility towards this good-for-nothing.

The twenty-odd staff members present, the seven special talents who came to watch the spectacle, and the three Chaldean elders constituted the entire setup for Olga Marie's antics today—at least, that's what they believed at the moment.

"I'm starting now, activate the magic supply!" With Olga Marie's command, everyone sprang into action, and the staff began to report.

"Energy supply is normal."

"Full circuit open."

"Magic conversion begins."

"The magic channel is open."

"Everything is normal, we can begin, Director."

The massive cables inserted into the four types of the giant spirit base plate emitted a low hum, and the circuits on the base plate turned blue, representing the abundance of magical energy.

Olga Marie nodded in satisfaction, extended her right hand toward the Spirit Foundation Plate, grasped her right forearm with her left hand, and began to chant the summoning incantation—

"I declare that you obey my command, that my life is with your sword, and that you answer the call of the Holy Grail. If you wish to follow this will and this principle, then respond."

At this point, the Spirit Foundation Disc reacted, and an electric arc appeared on the blue circuit.

Seeing this, Olga Marie couldn't help but get excited.

Most of the others present wore expressions of disbelief, with a few exceptions.

Romani smiled unconsciously and said to the beautiful woman beside him, "I didn't expect that the child would actually succeed. That's wonderful, Leonardo da Vinci!"

The woman he called Da Vinci also showed an interested expression: "Although I didn't expect it either, what I'm more concerned about now is who answered Olga Marie's call. Besides, there's always something fishy going on. I think you're getting ahead of yourself, Roman."

“Da Vinci is right! Everyone on alert!” Rafe narrowed his eyes, concealing the murderous intent within them, and then addressed the entire group with a serious expression.

The seven Masters in Group A had contrasting expressions: some were filled with jealousy, some were indifferent, some wore friendly smiles, and some didn't even look up, simply staring at the books in their hands.

"I hereby swear that I will accomplish all good deeds in the world, and I will eradicate all evil deeds in the world. You are the guardian of the three great incantations that bind me, the guardian of the Wheel of Restraint and the Scales!"

Olga Marie certainly heard the conversation behind her. Although she was a little unhappy, she didn't say anything, as her heart was now filled with the excitement of success.

Now, as long as we summon the Heroic Spirit who answered the call, all the noise will completely disappear!

After she finished reciting the incantation, a vast amount of magical power was continuously absorbed by the Spirit Base Plate and the Heroic Spirit Summoning System: Destiny, to support the manifestation of the Heroic Spirit.

But after fifteen minutes, apart from the magic power being continuously absorbed, there was no reaction in the central part of the summoning system.

Olga Marie's eyes reddened, she bit her lip tightly, and stared intently at that spot.

Fifteen minutes later, she released her bleeding lip, her body trembling, and said, "Report the situation..."

Romani sighed and spoke on behalf of everyone: "The summoning system showed no sign of spirit origin manifestation, and the flow of mana is unknown. It is estimated that... the summoning has failed."

Upon hearing his report, Olga Marie, though unwilling to admit it, could only endure the pain and despair at the futility of her efforts.

Leif breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to comfort her, but just then, the highest alarm sounded throughout Chaldea!

The magic power of the summoning base suddenly overloaded, and this heroic spirit summoning system, developed by combining magic and science, began to spew electric sparks in all directions as if it had been damaged.

The alarm, whose cause was unknown, made everyone outside the call room stop what they were doing and stare in bewilderment as all the lights turned red.

"What's wrong! What's wrong!" Romani looked up in a panic, completely unaware of what was happening, but his gaze never left the Spirit Foundation Disc.

Da Vinci then took out a pair of glasses and put them on, while covering his right ear with his right hand, as if listening to something.

But the one who reacted most violently was Rafe. He opened his eyes and looked at the summoning base with a face full of surprise.

There, a familiar aura appeared, and it was this aura that set off an alarm throughout Chaldea!

Olga Marie stared wide-eyed at the increasingly intense light in the center of the Spirit Foundation Disc, braving the strong winds.

“Olga Marie! Stop the summoning! That thing is…” Rafe was about to say something, but he immediately shut his mouth. He couldn’t say that word now!

Damn it! Leif took two steps back, pondering what would happen if that thing were summoned! If it were actually summoned, everyone in Chaldea would die! And their plans might be thwarted!

"Cut off the magic supply!" In a panic, he ordered the staff on his left.

The staff member hesitated for a moment, about to obey the order, but Olga Marie immediately shouted, "No!"

Although she didn't understand why Rafe was so flustered, she knew she was about to succeed, and at this critical juncture, how could she let the summoning stop?

However, as the aura that terrified Rafe grew stronger, everyone present sensed it.

That soul-crushing fear instantly gripped everyone's hearts; ordinary people all fainted blissfully, while only a third remained, and they were all magicians.

"This spirit origin pattern and stats!" Even Leonardo da Vinci's expression changed drastically when he saw a glimpse of the blurry female figure through his homemade glasses.

"Roman! Quickly cut off the magic supply!" Da Vinci ran towards Olga Marie, who was unable to move. Da Vinci had to save her before anything bad happened!

Chapter 84 Chaldea Recommended Summoning in 2012 (Part 2)

However, as Romani ran to cut off the magic supply, the magicians of Group A stood closest to the door, and Leonardo da Vinci desperately rushed towards Olga Marie.

Everything suddenly calmed down.

Whether it was the oppressive atmosphere, the alarms, or the strong winds, it all seemed as if nothing had happened.

But of everyone, only Rafe stared in horror at the figure that appeared on the Spirit Foundation Plate.

A beautiful woman dressed in black Hanfu stood there, like a plum blossom in full bloom.

With her hands hanging down, she held a transparent bead in her right hand and a demonic sword with a blade made of a huge columnar diamond in her left hand. It was obvious that it was not a weapon meant to kill people, but the demonic sword was covered in blood.

Her fair face was stained with specks of blood, but this did not diminish her beauty in the slightest. On the contrary, the scarlet blood made her bewitching charm shine through.

Her bright red eyes first surveyed her surroundings. Seeing the very advanced environment, she recognized the woman in ancient costume.

She looked at Olga Marie, who was being protected by Leonardo da Vinci and staring at her with a flushed face, and couldn't help but smile.

That smile left all the men and women present in a daze.

There was one exception: Leonardo da Vinci. She was staring intently at the woman with the look of someone who had seen some incomprehensible, terrifying being, while simultaneously putting on her specially made prosthetic left arm in preparation for any unexpected situation.

After laughing, the woman looked at Olga Marie and spoke for the first time. Her voice was clear and melodious, but the words she uttered were quite strange.

"Hey, sow, it was you, you incompetent slut, and that dead nightmare who plotted against me, wasn't that right?"

However, upon hearing this enchanting and melodious voice, no one paid attention to its content. They felt as if they were in heaven, their entire consciousness about to fly away, and even thinking was taken away from them.

At that moment, only one thought remained in their minds: to give everything for this person...

Fortunately, just as they were about to fall into an abyss from which they could not extricate themselves, Da Vinci tapped the ground with his wand, and a blue barrier surrounded the Spirit Foundation Plate, separating the woman from everyone else.

The woman looked at Leonardo da Vinci with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mona Lisa, what are you doing? Also, where is this place? What did that sow use to pull me here?"
