Skip the Plot?

Mash could sense the atmosphere was rather tense.

She grew a little nervous, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Little Director, who were sitting opposite her but glaring at each other. She swallowed hard, then carefully asked,

"Master…Director…you two…"

"Shut up, Liu Haimei!"

"Don't say anything, Mash!"

"Hiss! Yes!"

Mash was yelled at by both of them simultaneously and didn't dare to speak again, tears welling in her eyes.

Looking back at Director and Fujimaru Ritsuka, the two stared at each other, flames burning in their eyes.

Director spoke first.

"I'm the Director!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up.

"I'm your savior!"

"Huh? Let's not bring up old news, alright?!"

"Hmph, a Director with only a title and no power has no right to speak!"

"What did you say?!" x2!

The two girls' foreheads bumped together! Silently vying for dominance!

After a three-second standoff, Director spoke.

"In that case! Let's each rely on our own abilities!"

"Suits me just fine!"

"I'll count to three, two, one!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!" x2!

"Ah!! My hand! Why did I pick scissors?!"

In an instant of fierce confrontation, Director, holding up a scissors hand, was defeated.

The victor, Fujimaru Ritsuka, reached out and picked up one of the two cards in front of Director. Opening it, a look of delight immediately spread across its face!

"Haha! Double 2! You're exposed! Director, you lost!! Come on, come on! Don't move, one turtle each!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was overjoyed, reaching out to reveal the face-down card and Director's remaining card. Indeed, it was a pair of jokers. They had finally won! Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up a pen, ready for revenge!

Just then.

"Director, uh… I hope I'm not interrupting? Mr. Mo's side is already taken care of. If there are no issues, we can transmit back in three minutes."

The previously sorrowful Little Director immediately put on a serious face.

"Understood! We are ready to return at any time."

"Alright."

Dr. Roman's voice faded, and Little Director grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's outstretched "evil" hand, saying earnestly,

"Stop messing around, let's pack up and get ready to return. Mr. Mo… he's truly outrageous!"

With that, Little Director turned and left, leaving behind three people with more or less drawings on their faces. Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had the most drawings, stood frozen on the spot, only reacting after Little Director had left.

"Ah! Director, you're a cheater! Liangyu! Then you can do the honors for your Master!"

Saying this, they pounced on Qin Liangyu, who was wiping her face.

Qin Liangyu twisted her body, and Fujimaru Ritsuka fell to the ground. Qin Liangyu smiled at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm not getting involved in this. You'd better go find Master yourself."

After saying that, she stepped over Fujimaru Ritsuka and went to find Little Director.

"Sen-senpai…"

Mash knelt down beside Fujimaru Ritsuka. Now that it was over, she reverted to the way she addressed Fujimaru Ritsuka at Chaldea: Senpai.

"Waaah, Mash! We'll find someone when we get back!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka grabbed Mash's hand, startling Mash.

"Find! Find someone for what?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted its teeth, as if using great effort to speak.

"To overthrow tyranny!!"

Mash: "…"

"Whoosh~~"

The staff who had just finished preparing for the spirit particle transfer didn't expect to have to prepare for a return trip half an hour later.

Seeing the seven people return, Romani quickly went forward. Mo Shuying nodded to him, then looked around, but didn't see Merlin.

"Where's Merlin?"

"Uh…"

Romani was startled, then chuckled.

"They probably ran off. Never mind that for now, Mr. Mo, let's go have a meeting."

Romani felt it was necessary to hold an internal action meeting to discuss how to quickly and effectively conquer the Singularity.

Inside the meeting room.

Mo Shuying took the tea handed to him by a staff member and slowly drank it.

Little Director, Romani, Da Vinci, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash, and… Mo Shuying.

Li Shuwen didn't like meetings and wasn't there. Child Gil was sent by Mo Shuying to catch Merlin. Qin Liangyu was guarding the door.

So.

"First, I must thank Mr. Mo. I was absolutely flabbergasted. That was a Demon God Pillar, a legendary existence. Although it wasn't quite like the Demon God Pillars I knew, its power should be similar. Yet, such an existence was dealt with so easily, without any resistance. Amazing."

First came the praise for Mo Shuying. Romani and Da Vinci had watched the entire battle, and that astonishing combat power was truly terrifying.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mo Shuying, full of curiosity. It didn't know how Mo Shuying had eliminated the opponent, but Romani should have records, so it could go look for the video.

"I can only say I was lucky."

Mo Shuying shook his head; he didn't feel anything special about it.

Da Vinci thought for a moment, then spoke.

"There are five more Singularities after this. If Mr. Mo can handle them all like this, I believe humanity will recover very quickly, and the future of mankind can continue."

Mo Shuying didn't immediately deny it upon hearing this. Instead, he asked,

"Do we have any clues for the next Singularity?"

Romani replied,

"We've found it. It's a secluded, circular ocean from the 15th century, the Age of Great Pirates. Okeanos, the place favored by the sea god."

Mo Shuying nodded, then said,

"The third Singularity is at sea. The Vimana can be used, but the Vimana's bombs take a long time to regenerate. I don't know exactly how long—a week, a month, or even a year."

Romani's face darkened when he heard this, and he quickly waved his hands.

"Mr. Mo, let's not talk about nuclear bombs for now. After all, we're promoting world peace. It's better not to use them if we don't have to."

Romani's legs still went weak remembering the destructive power of that ancient nuclear bomb. That was a true Anti-City Noble Phantasm!

"Huh? No nuclear bombs? Wouldn't that be boring? Uh… no, I mean, um, I understand."

Mo Shuying saw the strange looks from everyone and awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"And, although your method of directly confronting and resolving the final enemy, Mr. Mo, is very efficient, I actually feel that this kind of behavior isn't good. It's like…"

Romani furrowed his brow, as if something was on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't express it.

Just then, Child Gil opened the door and came in, holding the Chains of Heaven, which bound Merlin.

Child Gil glanced at Romani and said,

"Does it feel like there's no assistance in a boss fight?"

Romani was startled to hear this and quickly nodded!

"Exactly, it feels like we'll be missing a lot of assistance…"

Mo Shuying paused, then fell into thought.

Yes! There's still a big boss to deal with at the end! I wonder if just the few of us can do it. In the game, many helpers showed up. My approach of skipping the plot and just clearing the map probably won't trigger such events, so…

Mo Shuying realized he had made a mistake. Indeed, you still had to take things one step at a time, unless you were invincible.
