Happy Romani

"Welcome back! You've all worked so hard! The Singularity has been resolved, and Fuyuki City has finally returned to normal. All of Chaldea is proud of you!"

As the few individuals rapidly materialized in the Spiritron Conversion chamber, Dr. Roman, along with most of the surviving Chaldea members, applauded enthusiastically.

Everyone was emotional. They had worked there for a long time, doing things with uncertain outcomes. Everything had been ready for them to really show what they could do, but then the Lev incident occurred.

Ultimately, the Director "died," and 47 Masters were severely injured, frozen to preserve their lives. Only this one Master, the least talented of all, managed to complete a nearly impossible mission.

All of Chaldea witnessed Fujimaru Ritsuka's growth. This ordinary girl had begun to mature rapidly, evolving into humanity's hope!

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still very excited by everyone's warm welcome. It was the first time someone so ordinary had been so popular.

"Senpai! Say a few words quickly!"

Mash, standing behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, leaned in and said with a smile. Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, then shyly smiled at everyone and spoke.

"Everyone~ Thank you all for your support! Thank you!"

Gudako bowed in thanks. Ah, what a normal young lady.

Everyone thought the same. Just then, Merlin, who had been walking behind them, stepped forward and addressed Dr. Roman.

"Where are the things you were supposed to prepare?"

"Ah! They're ready! Someone! Quickly, push the doll over!"

As soon as Roman finished speaking, someone immediately ran over, pushing a small cart covered with a white sheet.

This was what Roman and the others had prepared at great expense—a doll meant to house the Director's soul.

"Ta-da-da-da~"

Roman dramatically pulled back the white sheet. Merlin's mouth twitched when he saw the doll; it was a child's doll, only 1.2 meters tall.

"This is the doll you prepared? Dr. Roman, do you have some… peculiar preferences?"

Merlin's gaze at Roman was a bit off. Roman's face flushed, and he quickly shook his head.

"Of course not! Although I do like Magical Girl ☆ Magical Romani—no, why am I even talking about that! Merlin, you have no idea what the outside world has become. We went through so much trouble just to get this doll. We truly did our best. Let's just use this for now. It won't be too late to find a more suitable one once the world recovers."

Dr. Roman wasn't lying. The outside world had become a hell. Except for a few incredibly powerful individuals still roaming, everything else had completely perished.

It was truly difficult to acquire this doll.

"Sigh, never mind. It doesn't matter. It's fine by me, but I wonder if your Director will be angry."

Merlin rubbed his head, no longer bothering with the details. He stretched out his hand, and a sea of glowing flowers appeared, from which a soul body slowly floated out.

This time, it was truly thanks to Merlin. Even after Director Olga Marie Animusphere learned that Lev had betrayed them and was the culprit who blew her up, she still lost her judgment in her anger upon seeing Lev.

She was almost dragged by Lev into the destruction of Ars Nova.

At the crucial moment, Merlin intervened, protecting the Director with Avalon and preserving her soul. Otherwise, the doll would have been useless.

"Return, wandering soul. Flowers and stars guide your rebirth."

Under Merlin's protection, the soul entered the blank doll. The snow-white, featureless doll glowed, then grew hair and clothes, and its face transformed into a miniature version of the Director. A few minutes later…

"Hmm?"

The doll opened its eyes, its consciousness fully awake. The Director raised her hand and looked at her arm, indistinguishable from a normal person's. She already understood what had happened.

"Thank you."

The usually arrogant Director actually spoke words of gratitude, surprising everyone.

"I will use this body to go through fire and water for Chaldea."

The Director also understood that since she had been given a second life, she should cherish it and do something more meaningful.

Roman nodded with satisfaction, looking at the Director as if she were a child who had grown up, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Dr. Roman!"

The Director suddenly turned to Roman, her gaze and tone suggesting she was about to demand an explanation.

"Huh?"

Roman was startled, then stepped forward with a wry smile.

"Welcome back, Director. With you back, I can finally shed this burden and relax a bit."

Roman had been extremely busy these past few days and hadn't even had time to catch up on his shows.

"You wish! You usurper of my authority in my absence! Do you think I'll let you off that easily?!"

The Director stood up, hands on her hips, looking up at Roman. Roman was a bit flustered. Those nearby began to murmur, and even Mash wanted to intercede but was stopped by Merlin with a smile.

"I will punish you! Dr. Roman, listen carefully."

The Director announced the punishment. Roman waited with a bitter smile for his fate, but then…

"I'll punish you by making you work overtime every day! You did an excellent job with the disaster recovery and battlefield command this time. I'm very satisfied. How about this: since the Vice Director position is vacant after Lev's defection, it's yours. Please work yourself to death at Chaldea, Vice Director Roman!"

"..."

The Director's words made everyone pause, then burst into cheers!

"Oh! The Director is brilliant! Dr. Roman! Ah, no, Long live Vice Director Roman!"

After a few days together, everyone had complete faith in Romani's abilities. With him now becoming the acting director, it couldn't have been better. In truth, if the director didn't return, Romani would effectively be the director in all but name.

"This is..."

Everyone was delighted, but Romani's face was bitter.

He thought he'd finally get some rest, but now it's over; there's no escaping this.

"Hehe, cheer up, Acting Director Romani. This is a sign of the director's trust in you."

Da Vinci walked over, smiling as they patted Romani's shoulder, a mischievous glint in their eyes.

Merlin also came over and patted Romani's shoulder.

"When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their resolve. Keep it up, I have high hopes for you."

Everyone offered their congratulations one after another, and Romani was on the verge of tears.

"Wuwuwu~ Thank you, everyone..."

Just as he was crying,

"What's wrong? What happened? Dr. Roman, are you that happy?"

As soon as Mo Shuying entered, he saw Romani with tears in his eyes. Seeing the good atmosphere, he casually asked.

"Wuwu~ Happy? Where did you get that idea?"

Romani felt like all of Chaldea was conspiring against him. His heart ached.

"Merlin, welcome back. Ah, it's such a shame I couldn't join you on this adventure."

Mo Shuying said he was regretful, but there wasn't a hint of regret on his face.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash saw Mo Shuying and guessed that he was Merlin's Master, the mysterious powerful individual Mo Shuying. They exchanged a look and then walked over.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. We're very grateful to Merlin this time; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to return safely," Fujimaru Ritsuka said thankfully.

Mo Shuying shook his head.

"It's nothing, he was just doing his job. As long as Merlin didn't cause you any trouble. So, how was it? Any unforgettable moments from this adventure?"

Mo Shuying responded politely. To his surprise, at this question, Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, and then:

"There actually was an unforgettable moment, like seeing a super sword fight..."

Mo Shuying: "...Huh???"
