[FGO] Stone is a bad civilization

Matthew passed out for no reason.

Obviously when I saw her yesterday, this little girl could still smile brightly at Romani and me, but after only one night, she turned into the pale face and vain breathing that she is now.

Fujimaru Tachika was so scared that she couldn't help herself when she saw that Mash had become like this.He tried to lift him up from the cold floor, but he tried many times, and he didn't know whether it was because he was too flustered or because he really didn't have enough strength. He tried two or three times without success.

I rushed from the kitchen door to the innermost part of the room, and grabbed Fujimaru Tatsuka's arm and dragged him up from the floor tiles.

"Do you know where Romani is?" I squatted down, hooked Matthew's knees to support her back, and picked her up.

"Big, probably in the control room..."

"Then go tell him to come to the infirmary immediately, and I'll send Matthew there first."

Fujimaru Tachika nodded at me in shock, and finally took a last look at Mash who was in my arms, and ran out staggeringly.

I didn't know the reason why Matthew passed out suddenly, so I didn't dare to run away, lest the road would be too bumpy and cause secondary damage to her body.

In fact, when I first picked up this girl, I couldn't help but feel a burst of shock.It’s too light, and the weight that doesn’t match my figure can obviously make me feel that Matthew is obviously in a very unhealthy state for a long time, and the clothes she wears are not thick, but when I touch her, she is naked When he touched his skin, he didn't feel the warmth of a normal human body, but instead felt a piece of ice cold.

On the way to the infirmary quickly, I suddenly thought of the conversation between the two when Romani suddenly asked Matthew when he was changing the subject yesterday.

"How is your health recently?"

"no problem."

"So, the reason why Romani asked such a question at the beginning was because he already knew that Matthew's physical condition was very bad?"

After I opened the door of the infirmary with a strange gesture and put Matthew on the bed, I looked at the girl in front of me who was so pale that she was almost a blank sheet of paper, and said to myself.

Romani and a group of employees arrived late. As the only two laymen present, Tatsuka Fujimaru and I were rushed out of the door after the professionals arrived.I stood at the door of the infirmary and stared at the locked electronic door in front of me for a long time before turning my head to look at the silent black-haired boy standing beside me.

"Mashu...she will be fine." Fujimaru Tachika lowered her head, and her voice was unreasonably low.

Lixiang has completely lost the relaxed image of smiling and chatting with me a few minutes ago, her hair has become messy due to the rapid running just now, and so has her clothes.After he finished speaking, he raised his head to look at me, the corners of his eyes were slightly red.

I don't know the specific situation of Matthew, but judging from my direct contact and observation of her just now, the state of this sub-servant girl is obviously in an extremely bad state, and it can even be said to be dangerous. status.The bloodless face, cold hands and feet, and substandard weight all unintentionally indicated the fact that she was on the brink of death.

Although the situation was not optimistic, after hesitating for a second, I chose to try my best to appease the boy who was about to cry.

"Trust Romani and the other staff," I said, "they will definitely be able to cure Matthew."

After hearing my comforting words, Fujimaru Tachika didn't say anything more, but lowered her head again and sniffed.

"Maxiu's appearance is obviously not a sudden symptom..."

When he spoke again, his voice was already a little hoarse: "I've been with her all the time, why didn't I find anything wrong with her body?"

"Doctor..." he called me, "Do you know what kind of situation Matthew is in? You have known Dr. Roman for a long time, so you should know?"

I looked at Fujimaru Tateka who had started to tremble slightly, and sighed with some complicated emotions.I reached out and rubbed his hair, and apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, because Matthew's identity seems to involve the secrets of Chaldea. When I asked Romani, he never answered me directly, so... "

Speaking of this, I suddenly paused for a second, then immediately changed the subject, and continued: "Romani and the others may have to stay for a long time, since they are already in a state of burning human resources, why don't you come and check with me? What the hell happened to Mash?"

Fujimaru Tachika shook her head, her hair was itching against my palm.I put my hand down and patted his back.

"Then I'll wait here with you. Don't be too nervous. Mash is also a sub-servant after all, and she has the protection of heroic abilities. She must be fine."

The black-haired boy who was so comforted by me let out a muffled "um" sound from his nose, then raised his head again, and looked at the closed door in front of us.

There are no benches outside the medical room where people can rest their feet temporarily. I wanted to take Fujimaru Tatsuka to the next room to rest when I was standing until my feet were numb, but he declined in silence.There was no other way, I had no choice but to move a chair for him to sit on, and by the way, watch this distraught Master eat his lunch well.

"If you want to be the first to rush in to see Matthew after the door of the infirmary opens, you should sit down and eat honestly."

After being educated by me, Tatsuka Fujimaru ended up with the sandwich I brought back from the restaurant, and stuffed the simple meal into his stomach bit by bit.

The rescue process lasted for a long time, until the gray and snowy scene outside the window completely darkened, and when the ceiling lights in the corridor slowly turned on, Romani unlocked the electronic door of the infirmary and walked out with a tired face. .

"Very successful, there is no problem for the time being." With his simple words, Fujimaru Tatekafu, who stood up excitedly when he saw the door opened, sat down on the chair again.

"That's great..." He murmured with dull eyes and a dazed expression, "It's really great."

Looking at Fujimaru Tateka who was about to cry with joy because he suddenly let go of a huge stone in his heart, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." I turned to look at Romani, "May I help you get something to eat?"

"Okay, I'm really starving to death..." Romani took off the mask, rubbed it into the pocket of the white coat, pressed his shoulders, and sighed at me for a long time "The situation is too critical, it really scared me to death."

"So, what happened to Matthew?" I asked him.

"Is it all right yesterday? When you went to check her body later, you didn't seem to find anything abnormal?"

Romani paused as he kneaded his shoulder blades.

I looked at him, and gave a suspicious "hmm". Even Fujimaru Tachika, who had just lost consciousness to the point of unconsciousness, pulled back his thoughts in time after listening to my question, and fixed his eyes on Rome. Ni.

Romani slowly lowered his arms, glanced at me and Fujimaru Tachika one by one, and suddenly sighed helplessly.

"It probably started with Matthew's birth 16 years ago."

As a human security institution, Chaldea's development planning and structure must include a series of prohibited experiments that cannot be treated by outsiders.Because the action of "Guardian of Humanity" is based on the cooperation between the master and the servant, and the summoning of the heroic spirit is uncertain, for example, if you accidentally summon a servant who is unwilling to obey the command of the master, so In order to increase the success rate of the "human protection operation" with a higher probability, the team under the former director turned their brains to artificial "servants".

"So, Mash is actually a man-made human made by Chaldea, specially used as a container for servants' power?" After listening to Romani's explanation, I concluded this way.

"Yes." Speaking of this topic, Romani's face was also very heavy, "I also only learned about Chaldea's experiments that violate human relations in recent years... So to a certain extent, I also I am really sorry for the accomplice who caused Mash to be in such a situation."

"You're here again..." I looked at the other party with a remorseful expression, and subconsciously wanted to excuse him.But when I was about to speak, I suddenly realized that what Romani is facing now cannot be appeased based on my subjective feelings.

"...Did you hurt her? You still have to ask Matthew about that." I finally changed my words and pointed the core of the question to the sub-servant girl who was lying in the sterile ward.

Because of the sudden deterioration of her physical condition, in order to prevent accidents and accidents, after thinking about it, Romani decided to send Matthew back to the "cage" where she had been staying for a long time since she was born.This caused me, him, and Tachika Fujimaru to stand outside the room at this moment, looking at the girl who was lying on the hospital bed and sleeping peacefully through a layer of glass.

"...So, normally speaking, Mash won't be able to survive this year."

Fujimaru Tachika, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "Even modern medical treatment can't prolong her life even by one year or one month?"

After hearing what he said, Romani couldn't bear it, but still nodded honestly, confirming the other party's statement.

"Matthew herself knows it well." He said, "But I don't think she needs our pity for her, because it's an insult."

He looked up at Fujimaru Lixiang, and said, "So, I hope Lixiang, you can treat Mashu as usual after she wakes up. In this case... it can also provide her with some psychological comfort."

Fujimaru Tachika's eyes widened in shock the moment Romani finished speaking, but then, without knowing what he thought of or comprehending, he quickly calmed down again.It's just that I glanced at the opponent's tightly clenched fists hanging by his side...

"It's not absolutely hopeless." I interrupted the heavy atmosphere that was about to solidify around me.

"The final singularity... Maybe there is still some hope? After all, according to the levels in the game, after finishing the final boss, there will always be some useful props dropped? For example, the real holy grail that can be wished, some type of."

Fujimaru Tachika's eyes lit up, and a look of expectation gradually appeared on his face.

"Well... so don't worry." I looked at him with a smile, "Adjust your mentality, and when Matthew wakes up, happily say 'you're awake' to her, that's enough."

"Just like you are nervous about her, I think Matthew must also be worried about whether her sudden collapse will worry you?"

When I was talking about this, I glanced at Romani, and as I expected, I got a tacit look back from the other party.

"Do as Romani says, until you finally have the courage to be honest with each other."
