The next morning, Ritsuka, who had been in a coma since returning to Chaldea, finally opened his eyes.

"Ritsuka, you finally woke up. If you didn't wake up, I was afraid the director would scold you."

Seeing Ritsuka open his eyes, Romani, who was sitting beside the bed with a glass of milk in his hand, spoke immediately.

"Boss?"

The still confused Li Xiang repeated the sentence subconsciously, and then immediately reacted with joy on his face.

"Doctor, do you mean that the director has been rescued by Gao Muming?"

"Yes."

Responding to Ritsuka, Romani couldn't help but laugh as he recalled Olga Marie's current appearance.

Looking at Romani who was laughing for no apparent reason, Ritsuka tilted his head in confusion.

Putting the cup aside, Romani put away the smile on his face and stood up after confirming that Ritsuka was okay.

"Since you're awake, let's go to the cafeteria. All the people still alive in Chaldea are in the cafeteria except for the two of us."

"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry."

Ritsuka got out of bed quickly and followed Romani out of the infirmary, rubbing his stomach which had not been fasted for a long time.

"I hope there's still food in the cafeteria."

"Don't worry, there are a lot of delicious food in the cafeteria. The reason why we gathered in the cafeteria is because after saving Olga Marie, Akira Takagi suggested holding a celebration party in the cafeteria for the successful restoration of the singularity."

After hearing Romani's words and recalling what Leif had said at the singularity, Ritsuka spoke up, somewhat concerned about Chaldea's material reserves.

"Is this really okay? If I remember correctly, according to Professor Leif, Chaldea has now completely lost contact with the outside world and has lost its supply channels, right?"

"Isn't it a bit too wasteful to hold a banquet under such circumstances? After all, we don't know how long we can rely on these supplies..."

"Indeed, after knowing the current situation in Chaldea, you would have such concerns. It is better to say that the remaining members of Chaldea almost all agree with your idea."

As Romani said this, he recalled the scene where Takagi Akira persuaded himself and others.

"But Gao Muming put forward the opposite opinion, precisely because the current situation is so bad, we should celebrate."

"In the words of Akira Takagi: The fate of the world is upon us, and we cannot persevere in the face of such pressure simply with a painful heart."

"In order to persevere in this hopeless situation, proper physical and mental pleasure is essential, and a celebration after the mission is completed is the best way for Chaldea to celebrate now."

"Is that why we have this celebration banquet?"

Ritsuka nodded and looked around curiously as he followed Romani to the cafeteria.

"Come to think of it, this should be my first time in Chaldea's cafeteria."

"Ugh?"

"The day Leif caused the explosion was my first day in Chaldea. As far as I can remember, I started training right after I arrived. When I woke up, I was taken to a briefing by Mash. I was kicked out of the briefing because I fell asleep. I met the lazy doctor in my lounge."

"Then there was an explosion in Chaldea, and Mashu and I were swept into the spiritual particle transfer..."

Just as Ritsuka was recounting the things that had happened to him since he came to Chaldea, the two of them arrived at the cafeteria of Chaldea.

Pushing the door open, Ritsuka immediately discovered that almost everyone was gathered in a circle in front of a table. Looking at the food on the surrounding tables, Ritsuka once again focused his attention on the crowd.

"Could it be that there is something delicious on that table?"

Thinking of this, Ritsuka immediately went over.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Ritsuka saw Olga Marie, who was only about 2 to 30 cm tall, moving her limbs awkwardly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Olga Marie accidentally fell on the table again and sat there throwing a tantrum.

"Ah, I fell again. I really can't do anything right."

As she spoke, Olga Marie kicked her legs and started crying. After a moment, Olga Marie froze and then she complained to Da Vinci and Gao Muming who were watching the show.

"Why are the limbs of this doll so difficult to control? Also, when will the side effects of your possession magic be eliminated?"

After watching silently for a while, Ritsuka turned around stiffly and looked at Romani.

"Doctor, don't you think the director's mood swings are a bit dramatic?"

Romani spread his hands.

"This is probably a side effect of the magic used by Akira Takagi."

"According to Akira Takagi, the original targets of this magic are wandering souls without any consciousness. All that can be controlled are puppets that can simply move their joints and respond to commands."

"This is the first time it's been used on someone like the director. In order to prevent the director's consciousness from being suppressed by magic and turning him into a puppet that can only respond to simple commands, Takagi Akira made some targeted modifications."

"According to Gao Muming's speculation, the director's current condition is probably due to his lack of proficiency in controlling his own soul, which has caused him to be unable to hide his thoughts. It should be fine after a while."

"I can't hide my thoughts, the director is so pitiful..."

“This is actually pretty good.”

Hearing Romani say this, Ritsuka looked at Romani in disbelief.

"you sure?"

Romani did not respond to Lixiang immediately, but just gestured to Lixiang to look at the employees around him.

"Look at the attitude of the people around you towards the director."

"Any questions?"

"Oh, I forgot that you just came to Chaldea. In the past, Olga Marie felt that she could not meet the expectations and the pressure was too great, which caused her to become very twisted. She was abnormally irritable and awkward when handling matters. Even when she cared about others, she would say hurtful words because of awkwardness."

Hearing Romani say this, Ritsuka showed a look of realization.

"That is to say, due to the side effects of Takagi Akira's magic, everyone knows that Director Olga Marie is a tsundere who says one thing and does another."

When Romani recalled the moment when he first met the employees and Olga Marie exposed herself when she noticed the staff's slightly disgusted look, he had the urge to laugh secretly.

In a somewhat relaxed atmosphere, everyone in Chaldea had a happy celebration.

After the banquet, Mashu carried the somewhat autistic Olga Marie, followed by Ritsuka, Romani, Da Vinci and Takagi Akira to the control room where "Sheba" was placed.

Standing in Mashu's palm, Olga Marie cleared her throat and looked unusually heavy.

"I checked Sheba as soon as I was rescued, and the future shown by Sheba did not change due to the repair of singularity F."

"After investigating with Romani, we discovered a total of seven singularities at major turning points in humanity... This is a discovery that has never been made before..."

Olga Marie lowered her head, her voice full of self-blame. When she thought about her actions becoming the fuse that pushed the burning of human nature, Olga Marie felt cold all over, and an indescribable feeling of suffocation lingered in her heart.

"Just as Leif who appeared at Singularity F said, the soul particle transfer experiment we completed was the fuse that caused the burning of humanity this time..."

Olga Marie said as she bowed deeply to Ritsuka in Mashu's hand.

"Although I know this request is excessive, you are the only Master left in Chaldea now. I can only ask you, Ritsuka, please stop the burning of humanity caused by Chaldea and take back our future."
