589: Chaldeans
"The anti-summoning system is activated, and the spirit child transfer begins."
"There are three seconds left before the Rei Zi transfer, and the countdown begins."
“3——”
“2——”
“1——”
"The whole project is complete. Battle Name, Grand Order - Begin! ”
When the mechanical voice sounded throughout the central control room of Chaldea, the basket in the center of the control room suddenly lit up, and the young girl lying in it was quickly assimilated by the light, and finally disappeared into particles inside.
Restoration work on the seventh anomaly was announced.
————————
After opening their eyes, they looked around them slightly, and after making sure that there was no danger for the time being, the teenagers and girls breathed a sigh of relief.
"Matthew, is it okay?"
"Yes, Senpai... No, Master, I'm in good shape. ”
After such a simple exchange, the boy and girl looked at each other and smiled.
The black-haired boy is named Rika Fujimaru, the last lord of mankind.
The lilac-haired maiden was named Matthew Gileadlet, a Chaldean subservant.
Well, no, it's a lilac hair color, but rather, Matthew has an extremely rare hair that resembles an eggplant color.
After making sure that her companion was okay, Rika Fujimaru immediately looked at the watch-like device she was wearing on her wrist. It looks like a watch, but in fact it is a magic dress that combines science and mystical technology, and has the functions of detection, observation, exploration, communication, etc.
Now, he needed to contact his own organization, the Chaldeans.
In order to report safety, but also to determine the situation, and to get backup.
But before he could make any moves, Matthew's voice made Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately go into a state of alert.
"Master, ahead—"
Not far from them, the intense magic power was converging at an astonishing speed, and the magic power visible to the naked eye condensed into a vague human form, but in the process of condensing, it seemed that something had been hindered, causing the magic form that had just been formed to collapse in an instant.
"That's... Servant Summons? Matthew, vigil! ”
Looking at the familiar brilliance, Rika Fujimaru judged the body of the phenomenon. It was a demotion of the Heroic Spirit, a magic ritual that appeared in the form of a Servant, and it was usually only possible if the Master presided over the ceremony, connected to the leylines and assisted by a precious holy relic, but in the current era, it is not surprising that the Servant descended alone.
However, he was interrupted in the process of adventing. And this interruption is not due to the influence of the enchantment, or the magician's obstruction, the incompleteness of the magic, etc. Then one of the more likely scenarios is······ This era, or rather, the Holy Grail, the Order does not allow it to come, and the Servants who are about to come are beneficial and harmless to this era.
This was true both for them and for their enemies.
In the face of such a servant, Fujimaru Rika really can't relax.
"Yes!"
Matthew almost subconsciously followed the order, summoning the Great Cross Shield to take a defensive stance, fully on guard.
In less than a moment, the magic condensed by the ritual almost dissipated, and even the ritual was about to collapse completely in the next moment.
However······
"Humph——!"
With a cold snort, the collapse process suddenly stopped, and the magic power seemed to be conscious, and the humanized hesitated for a moment, and then condensed and formed at a faster speed than the collapse.
A short time later, a servant covered in black robes and holding a wooden staff in his hand appeared in the young girl's field of vision.
The servant showed no intent to attack, first glancing around his surroundings, followed by a flash of fire in his dark eyes. Although the flame disappeared for only a moment, it still caused Fujimaru Rika to be nervous.
The servant still ignored him, and stood there frowning, his face full of astonishment, and then there was an obvious movement - looking up at the sky.
“······”
Above the sky, there are bands of light that are hollow and round, cut off from all the clouds.
"Such a powerful energy."
"Huh? You, you mean... Bands of light in the sky? Do you feel it? Fujimaru Rika couldn't help but ask in surprise, although she didn't let her guard down, she didn't show hostility either.
"Well, it's obvious energy, although for this era, the light band seems to be just a phenomenon, a landscape, but as long as you have a little magic attainment, you can understand the energy contained in the light band."
The indifferent answer made Fujimaru Ritsuka stunned, and her guard relaxed a little again.
It's okay to be able to communicate.
"It's rude, but can I ask for advice? Where are you a hero, if it's convenient to tell me your real name... No, just call it. ”
"Me? Hawkers,It's not a famous hero.,The real name isn't a secret.,But you shouldn't have heard of it.。 He replied kindly: "My name is Bai Hua Arthur Doyle, just call me Bai Hua." Of course, if you don't like it, you can call me by whatever name you can think of. ”
"Bai Hua... Arthur Doyle? Rika Fujimaru muttered softly, he really hadn't heard of it.
After thinking about it, he looked at Matthew.
Although he is the master, but in terms of knowledge savings, he is not as good as the girl next to him.
"Hmm... I don't know. Matthew shook his head, then looked at Bai Hua: "That, call you 'Mr. Bai Hua'... Is that okay? ”
"Of course. I said so, just call me the way you like. Bai Hua smiled slightly and asked, "So, who are you?" How about knowing each other's names and establishing a tentative friendship for a while? If you can, it would be best to explain to me what this place is and what the heavenly ribbons of light are. ”
"Huh? Ah, we are members of a Chaldean organization that was teleported to this special point in order to restore human reason. My name is Fujimaru Rika, and I have made a contract with the Heroic Spirits to make them the master of the Servants. ”
"Yes! My name is Matthew Gileadlet, and I am a servant of my predecessors. Matthew said a little nervously, at this time, a small white beast skillfully jumped on Matthew's shoulder, Matthew did not feel the slightest surprise, rubbed the head of the little beast with his fingers, and introduced: "This cute creature is called Fufu. ”
Well, it's cute in terms of appearance, but the essence is unknown.
"Oh? Masters and servants, I didn't expect there to be even this era. Bai Hua looked at the two of them in surprise.
"Huh? Does Mr. Bai Hua know what era this is? Matthew was a little surprised.
Because according to Bai Hua's previous performance, it seems that he can't understand everything.
"As a servant, at the moment of being summoned, you will get the corresponding knowledge of the era, whether it is language or words, you will be instilled in your mind, and it is normal to know where this is." Bai Hua said: "But it's a pity, thanks to the blessing of a willful guy who asked me to come over and regretted it halfway, I didn't have a word in my mind about the knowledge I should have." ”
