-903- Who exactly are you?

At the same time, within Chaldea's central command room:

When Cú Chulainn was defeated, and the Holy Grail within him was seized by Scáthach, the command room was abuzz with continuous reports.

"Battle concluded. Confirmed disappearance of the Servant Cú Chulainn's spiritual core."

"Confirmed the presence of the Holy Grail, currently held by Lancer Scáthach."

"Reconfirmed the presence of the Holy Grail, now returned to Master Rorelai Arneet."

"Recovery operations for the Holy Grail have been completed."

"The establishment of human history foundation in the Fifth Singularity is complete."

Various staff members manipulated instruments while delivering these reports.

"Sigh..."

When the final report echoed through the command room, the three highest-ranking personnel there collectively sighed in relief.

"Finally over. I wondered how it would turn out."

Olga Marie, in her owl-like form, stood on the chair in the director's position, watching the screen displaying Chaldeas and heaved a big sigh of relief.

Due to the extensive damage to the instruments, Chaldea had severed all communication with Rozen during the time in the basin to alleviate the burden on the devices and for repairs.

They maintained only the basic observational functions, allowing Chaldea's numerous staff to see the war situation in the Fifth Singularity and receive combat footage.

Especially for Olga Marie, with her already bad temper and patience several times lower than the average person, the constantly changing situation on the battlefield had made her impatient countless times.

Now, seeing the Holy Grail recovered by Rozen, Olga Marie finally felt at ease.

"He really managed to hold on, Rorelai Arneet."

Da Vinci also expressed such admiration.

Even this genius, who usually did things her own way, felt that there was no hope when twenty-eight dragon kind appeared.

Who would have thought that in the end, Rozen, relying on his own abilities, would turn the tide.

Now, Rozen had successfully restored the Fifth Singularity, reclaimed the Holy Grail, and did it all in just one week, bringing joy to those present.

"In the end, he did it as he said. In just a short month... no, in less than a month, he repaired all four Singularities."

Da Vinci sighed with a smile.

"Now, I suddenly feel that if it's this Master, perhaps he really can save human history and re-establish the foundation of humanity."

This was Da Vinci's most genuine thought at the moment.

Naturally, this was the thought shared by everyone present.

One couldn't help but say that Rozen's actions and achievements really brought a glimmer of hope to these people who were originally in a state of near despair.

"I just don't know how this brat managed to do it."

Roman, who also breathed a sigh of relief, said grumpily.

After all, up to now, all the various abilities Rozen has displayed couldn't be found in any records throughout Chaldea.

In other words, how Rozen mastered these abilities remains a complete mystery.

Moreover, with the outside world of Chaldea burned down and Rozen mysteriously disappearing within Chaldea on several occasions, only to return unexpectedly, all signs indicate that Rozen definitely harbors some significant secrets.

If not for these secrets, Rozen wouldn't inexplicably possess such capabilities, and his current performance wouldn't be as remarkable.

Initially, people held a considerably high opinion of Rozen, considering him the most outstanding Master in history. His magical talents were highly regarded, and many believed he was an indispensable genius in the world of magecraft, entrusted with the hope of saving human history.

However, Rozen's recent actions have far surpassed everyone's expectations. This has led even Roman, who initially didn't want to delve too deeply into Rozen's secrets, to consider whether he should question him.

"Otherwise, every time it gets so tense, I'll end up with a nervous breakdown."

Recalling the incident where Rozen almost lost his life to Cú Chulainn, Roman's expression turned sour.

But...

"Compared to you, being a useless big bro, he completed the mission impeccably. Your unwarranted lecturing only ended up embarrassing yourself, Roman, causing numerous malfunctions in Chaldea's instruments and rendering us unable to provide effective support."

Da Vinci teased Roman in such a playful manner, making Roman's expression instantly bitter.

However, Roman didn't say anything and remained silent.

Watching Roman like this, Olga Marie, who had been observing from the side, was grinding her teeth internally.

Recalling the frightening magical power and strength Roman had displayed earlier, Olga Marie couldn't hide her suspicions about him.

All along, Olga Marie had thought Roman was just an irresponsible doctor. But now, even if she wanted to remain naive, Olga Marie couldn't believe that Roman was a simple person.

Upon closer inspection, Olga Marie realized that she knew almost nothing about Roman. At least, she didn't know Roman's background before coming to Chaldea.

After all, before Olga Marie came to Chaldea, Roman was already working there, recruited personally by the former director, who happened to be Olga Marie's father.

However, being personally invited to work in Chaldea by her father was already an unusual occurrence.

What's more, before this, there was another person who received the same treatment.

(Lev...)

That's right.

Lev was also a technician personally invited by Olga Marie's father.

However, the professor, whom Olga Marie trusted so much, turned out to be the vanguard of the incineration of humanity and the true identity of the Demon God Pillar.

How could Olga Marie not be suspicious of Roman?

So, Olga Marie didn't pursue Roman's responsibility for damaging the equipment. Her gaze towards him had already changed.

This was the subtle issue Rozen observed in the atmosphere between Roman and Olga Marie.

And Roman seemed to know that he was under suspicion, but he didn't explain anything, maintaining his silence.

This caused the staff within Chaldea to distance themselves from Roman, making the relationship awkward. Only Da Vinci continued to interact with Roman as before.

Looking at Roman conversing with Da Vinci, Olga Marie could only endure the unease and fear about his identity.

(Romani...)

Who exactly are you?

This was the thing Olga Marie most wanted to know right now.

At that moment...

"Ding—Ding—Ding—"

Suddenly, an alarm echoed throughout Chaldea, startling everyone.

"What's happening!?"

"What's going on!?"

"This is..."

Olga Marie, Roman, and Da Vinci were all taken aback. It wasn't just them; even the staff members were in a state of panic.

"We've detected abnormal spatial distortions in the Fifth Singularity!"

"An astonishing magical energy reaction! This value is beyond what a Servant... no, it's impossible for any entity to possess!"

"Spiritual foundation reaction! But... this kind of reaction and value... it's inconceivable!"

"No! Observational functions are reaching their limits! It's going to malfunction!"

Amid the frantic shouts of the staff, the screens that were displaying images from the Fifth Singularity abruptly dimmed, rendering observation impossible. Only the voices continued to transmit.

The inexplicable situation left Olga Marie and Da Vinci bewildered.

Only Roman, continuously shaking, had a sinking feeling.

"This can't be..."

Roman's face turned pale as he stared fixedly at the dimmed screens, striving to hear the transmitted messages clearly.

Not just Roman, but everyone else was also left with no choice but to do the same.

As a result, what followed would be the worst news.

Something that would ruthlessly shatter the just-blossomed hope.
