"..."
Ian sensed something was wrong.
As one of the few people who knew the complete details of the helicopter incident, he felt that Olga Marie's current statement didn't align at all with what she knew.
After all, if she had been informed of Fujimaru Ritsuka-san's experience, it would have been impossible to so simply and crudely attribute the matter to an "external organization."
One must remember that this time, even the helicopter dispatched to pick up the Master candidates had its systems tampered with using magic.
No matter how one looked at it, this couldn't be that simple.
Something was off.
This explanation had issues.
However, although Ian felt very uneasy, the others who didn't know the actual situation didn't see it that way.
Director Olga Marie's announcement of lifting the alert made them overjoyed.
"They finally figured things out!" one Master candidate exclaimed with relief.
"Yeah, now we can finally relax!" another added, sighing in relief.
Hearing the surroundings become lively, the timid Mashu was immediately startled and stopped what she was doing.
Kneeling on the ground, white fluid glistening at the corner of her mouth, she held the still-uncleaned massive object in her hand, looking at Ian nervously.
"Senpai, what should we do now...?" she asked, her voice barely audible.
"Let's stop for now," Ian said, gently stroking Mashu's head.
"You've worked hard enough."
Although she felt bad for not finishing the task, Mashu quickly got up as Ian told her to.
She returned to the seat next to the man, lowered her head, and gently wiped the traces from her mouth with a tissue.
Ian held her hand, trying to ease her nervousness;
Meanwhile, he looked towards the front of the conference hall, his mind still replaying Olga Marie's words.
Knowing the truth, he couldn't accept this explanation.
Was the meeting content really going to end with this unreasonable explanation?
Indeed, that was the case.
As the young Director said the word "dismissed" and began to gather her belongings to leave, the meeting completely came to an end.
This absolutely couldn't be allowed.
Ian's head buzzed with thoughts. After seeing Olga Marie leave the conference hall, the man made a decisive move and acted immediately.
"Mashu, I have some things to take care of, I'll be back in a bit," he said quickly.
"Please tell Ritsuka-san and Mordred-san for me!"
"Okay, okay," Mashu replied, wiping her mouth, recalling the taste, and looking at Ian's retreating figure with a worried expression.
"...Has something terrible happened again?" she wondered aloud.
Because Mashu had led the way once before, Ian clearly knew the location of Olga Marie's office.
He headed in that direction, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
At this moment, he had to immediately find out what was going on with the investigation that had been ongoing for nearly a month.
With his mind set, his steps became lighter and quicker.
Before long, Ian arrived at the door of the Director's office.
The nameplate on it was still polished and shiny.
But that wasn't what he should be focusing on now—finding Olga Marie-san quickly was the right choice.
However, things once again went in a direction Ian hadn't expected at all.
Just as Ian was about to push the door open, he found that it felt light and unlatched.
The man immediately realized—Olga Marie-san hadn't locked the door!
This wasn't normal behavior at all.
Especially for the young Director at this moment.
This proved that she had rushed back to her office in a great hurry, so much so that she hadn't even noticed the ridiculous fact that the door wasn't locked.
"..."
Ian's heart sank with a bit of worry.
It wasn't that he cared that much about Olga Marie-san, but this was just too unusual.
First, the investigation results that completely contradicted the facts;
And now, her hurried return to the office.
If the young Director hadn't encountered something, Ian wouldn't be able to believe it no matter what.
However—
If he interrupted her now, he probably wouldn't find out anything.
Then he should secretly observe inside through the slightly open door.
Ian wasn't a particularly virtuous person, nor was he the kind of gentleman who would cancel his actions due to guilt.
As long as it helped him achieve his goals, this man would do it without hesitation.
Taking advantage of Olga Marie-san's unclosed door, Ian began to quietly peek into the room.
But the scene that met his eyes made him pause in surprise.
The young Director had already placed her usual orange noble coat aside, and the red stockings on her legs were thrown crookedly on the ground.
At this moment, she was only wearing a white dress.
Her impressive figure, which she usually completely concealed, was now fully revealed.
This sight made Ian take a deep breath.
After all, what usually made Olga Marie-san stand out was the seriousness and urgency that emanated from within her.
Now, she had the beautiful aura that was appropriate for her age.
But this was just the beginning, and even more surprising things were yet to come.
Just as Ian was wondering why Olga Marie-san had rushed back to her office in such a hurry and even stripped down like this,
The young Director directly revealed the answer to his question.
Olga Marie-san reached out and opened the cabinet in front of her.
She rummaged through it for a while, and then took out something that shocked the eyes—it was a small pink oval object connected to a switch by a thin string.
θ~~~[‖]
Wait a minute!
That was... a vibrator?
Olga Marie-san had rushed back to her office in such a hurry just to use this vibrator?
Ian felt his brain receive an unprecedented shock.
He realized that he seemed to have stumbled upon something he shouldn't have.
Click.
Olga Marie-san turned on the switch that looked very easy to accidentally touch.
Buzz buzz buzz~——A sound came.
Looking at the vibrating object in front of her, she let out a sigh of relief.
"Ugh... umm."
Her hand reached towards her garden area.
As Olga Marie-san's moans echoed in the room.
Little by little.
The small pink object was inserted just like that.
Olga Marie-san's hand trembled as she turned on the switch again.
Her body began to tremble there, and her whole being seemed to twist slightly because of it.
Ian wouldn't mistake this kind of reaction.
Olga Marie-san was pleasuring herself.
However—
Ian felt that something was wrong.
Before he could figure out what it was, Olga Marie-san, still trembling, reached into the cabinet again and started feeling around once more.
Another small object appeared in her hand.
Ian's eyes widened—another one?
Under the man's surprised gaze, Olga Marie-san did the same thing as before.
But it didn't end there.
Three, four, five...
Ian just watched as Olga Marie-san inserted them all.
As the buzzing sound, several times louder than before, echoed in the office, the usually decisive Director slumped directly into her chair, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
This should have been an extremely embarrassing scene, but Ian found that something was a bit off.
Olga Marie-san...
Didn't seem to be excited by this at all, but rather looked somewhat disappointed.
This was very unusual.
After all, whether she inserted one or several, it could essentially be understood as Olga Marie-san's personal preference.
At most, it could be explained by her having strong desires and therefore using them more often.
But—
To use them while making this kind of expression... This was the first time Ian had ever seen it.
It seemed like it would be best not to disturb her today—at least not right now.
But fate didn't seem to want to let Ian off the hook so easily.
Just as he was about to leave, the phone in his pocket made a sound.
It was a notification of a new message.
A sound that was usually perfectly normal now seemed like a death knell.
Olga Marie-san in the room immediately became alert.
"Who's there?!"
"Who's outside?!"
"..."
Ian knew that he couldn't pretend he hadn't seen anything now.
After all, if Olga Marie-san investigated, the fact that he had been here and then sneaked away would definitely be discovered.
No choice.
He could only go in as originally planned.
"It's me, Director," Ian said, his voice calm.
"I have some questions I'd like to ask you."
Olga Marie-san still hadn't noticed that she hadn't even closed the door.
However, she clearly knew that it wouldn't be good to keep Ian waiting outside for too long.
Time was tight, and the young Director didn't even have time to take out the vibrators directly, she could only turn them off temporarily.
She hurriedly picked up her coat and covered herself, pretending that nothing had happened, and then called out to Ian outside the door.
"Mm, come in."
The door opened.
Ian walked into the room, pretending not to know anything;
And Olga Marie-san looked at him, also pretending that nothing had happened.
The atmosphere became incredibly awkward for a moment.
"..."
"..."
"What do you want to ask?" Olga Marie-san took the initiative to break this strange silence.
She still had a very good impression of the man before her.
After confirming that the young Director hadn't lost her mind because of those small devices, Ian decided to communicate with her in a normal manner.
He was already inside.
Then of course he couldn't just do nothing.
Other things could be put aside for now.
"Director, I have some objections to today's investigation results," Ian said, his voice serious.
"Hmm?" Olga Marie-san frowned slightly.
"What objections do you have?" she asked, her tone a bit defensive.
"Isn't this a fact that meets the needs of all aspects of Chaldea?"
"No," Ian shook his head firmly.
"Director, others may not know, but I'm different."
"Regarding this matter... I cannot accept your explanation."
"..."
Olga Marie-san's expression became somewhat complicated.
She was silent for a long while before squeezing out a sentence:
"What's unacceptable? I think it's quite reasonable."
"I've looked at the investigation results several times... there's nothing wrong with them."
"And you should have seen my incident report in the conference hall just now, wasn't it reasonable? Professor Lev's investigation was perfect."
"Time, evidence, culprit, everything that should be there is there."
"It certainly looks that way on the surface," Ian said, looking directly at Olga Marie-san, who was wrapped in her coat.
"But Director, you should also know... there are many logical inconsistencies in this."
"Isn't it a bit negligent to just brush it off like this?"
One must remember that the helicopter that went to pick up Fujimaru Ritsuka-san had departed directly from Chaldea, located in Antarctica.
If it was really a "targeted attack" by an "external organization" as Olga Marie-san said.
Then this organization would not only have to be proficient in magic, but also have to clearly know about Chaldea's existence, and be very familiar with the process of recruiting Master candidates.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to know about the helicopter pickup, let alone apply magic or the like to it.
Was this possibility there?
Yes, it was.
But it was pitifully small.
In comparison, it would have been even easier to just kill Fujimaru Ritsuka-san before he got on the examination vehicle in the city.
Therefore—
The more likely possibility was that the helicopter was tampered with before it was dispatched.
Thinking in a more extreme direction, it was even very possible that the helicopter had already been enchanted by the time Anderson reported that he had found Fujimaru Ritsuka-san in the city.
In any case, this shouldn't be something that could be explained by an "external organization"!
Olga Marie-san looked a bit guilty after hearing this, but she seemed to still be worried about something.
She was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
"Ian, I understand your thoughts."
"But Professor Lev has been at Chaldea for over ten years, and his performance in his position has also been very serious."
"I believe that he won't have any problems this time either."
Ian shook his head—he didn't intend to back down.
"Is it right just because it's always been this way?" he asked, his voice firm.
"Director, you should be able to feel that the truth of the matter isn't like this, right?"
"I..." Olga Marie-san looked like she wanted to refute Ian, but her lips trembled for a long time, seemingly stopped by some unspeakable secret.
The young Director didn't seem to be very good at handling this kind of questioning.
Her hand fidgeted nervously on the armrest of the chair, and in the end, she accidentally touched the switch hidden under her coat.
Buzz buzz buzz.
A strange sound echoed in the room.
Ian knew what it was.
Olga Marie-san also knew what it was.
"..."
"..."
The atmosphere became awkward once again.
Ian didn't know what to say at this moment either.
Knowing what kind of scene was under the other party's coat, trying to reason with her like before was basically impossible.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave for now.
He could come back after Olga Marie-san was "busy."
"Director, I'll come back and discuss this issue with you later," Ian said, his tone polite but firm.
"However—"
"Please try to restrain yourself a bit, using so many of them isn't good for your body."
"..."
Hearing these words, Olga Marie-san's face instantly flushed red—she knew that the other party understood what was going on.
Ian had thought she would have a very strong reaction.
But the truth was not like that.
Olga Marie-san looked at the man before her, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"Then Ian," she said softly, her voice a bit shaky.
"Since that's the case—"
"Could you not leave for now, and stay here with me for a while?"
