Chapter 16: Interlude 2 - Human Order Continuity Guarantee Organization, Phoenix Chaldea

-------------------


Two days had passed since we cleared Orleans. A lot had happened in those two days. The food had gotten a lot tastier, for one... and Kriemhild, who had fallen in Orleans, had been summoned again from the Spiritron graph. Well... that was one thing, but...


"Slurp..."


"You. Aren’t you getting a little too close to the Master?"


"Isn’t that obvious? Lovers are supposed to stay this close all the time."


"Lovers!?"


"Why? Is something wrong, Savior?"


"You... come with me on a [Ray Shift]... right now!"


Thud!!!


And then Tonelico and Mélusine kept fighting over me, which had already nearly led to Chaldea’s destruction at the hands of those two instead of the Mage King three times now... And things on Ritsuka’s side were a mess too.


"Mash... please... I’m only doing one pull...!!!"


"Absolutely not, Senpai!!"


"Aaaagh~~~!!!"


"Doctor!! Senpai escaped from the room!!"


"Again!?"


Anyway, Ritsuka had become completely addicted to gacha. I mean, why was she trying to burn through every last [Saint Quartz] she had...? In any case, all of this had happened over the course of just two days.


"Haa... that damn Mage King bastard... I’m going to beat him to a pulp with my own hands..."


Pffft!!


Romani, who had been drinking coffee beside me, spat it out.


"What are you doing... Doctor, that’s disgusting."


"Cough! Sorry! I just got startled for a second..."


While the two of us were drinking coffee, Fou came over to me.


"Fou, fou!!"


-You. I smelled that bastard on you before... What did he do to you?


"No... not really anything. Except that there were two Merlins."


"Fou...?"


-Wait... what?


"You heard me, Fou. There were two Merlins. What kind of one-plus-one event is that...?"


"Fou!! Fou... fou!!!"


-Whoa... There are two of those bastards in this world!? Haa... just let Human Order collapse already...


"Exactly. That’s what I’m saying, Fou."


For some reason, it felt like Fou was really saying that. I guess I’ve got animal communication skills now too... Anyway, today was peaceful, so I was feeling...


"You... are you still hanging around the Master?"


"That has nothing to do with you, Savior."


"Ah... they’re about to start fighting again... Didn’t you two get along in the Fairy Kingdom...? Or was that not it?" Anyway, what was with these two...? I stepped in and stopped them before things could escalate.


"Um... for now, please calm down..."


"Master, keep your mouth shut!!"


"Master, be quiet!!"


"Ah... yes, sir... sorry... please continue..."


I backed away and went over to Fou.


"Fou... this is how I live. Seriously, why is my life like this...?"


"Fou!! Fou!"


-You’re unbelievable... you show-off bastard.


"You’re doing this to me too!?"


While we were talking, Olga Marie went over to Romani.


"...Shouldn’t we really be heading to the second Singularity soon, Romani?"


"Uh... D-Director... well... if we’re opening the summoning room again for the new Singularity this time..."


The moment she said that, Ritsuka came running over.


"Gacha... heh heh... gacha!!!"


"Senpai!!!"


I thought, She really is seriously addicted to gacha... shouldn’t we get her treated?


Ritsuka then smashed the summoning room door to pieces... Is she really not a Berserker?


"Haa... let’s just go summon first..."


So we headed to the summoning room.


"Spin, star of gacha!!"


With that, Ritsuka tossed in the 30 [Saint Quartz] she’d just received.


"Oh!! Gold!!!"


After a string of Craft Essences, gold finally appeared at the end for Ritsuka. The Servant that came out was...


"Servant, Saber Siegfried. I have answered your summons and come."


"You!!!"


And so even our great hero Siegfried had come to us. Thank goodness... Kriemhild... I’m really glad you got to see him again.


"Yes!!! We got at least one 4-star!!!..."


Ritsuka’s emotions were all over the place. She stepped back, and then it was my turn.


"Please!!"


I put in 30 [Saint Quartz] as well. After a bunch of Craft Essences came out...


"Oh... another rainbow?"


All right... who is it this time? Saber?


"Servant, Saber. Charlemagne the Great. I have come here in response to your summons. Are you my Master?"


And so Charlemagne appeared in his third ascension. Tonelico and Mélusine, standing nearby, said,


"Master is really lucky..."


"Of course! The Master pulled the strongest me!"


I thought, Anyway... why did he show up...? Don’t tell me this is different from the original story too...? There’s precedent for that already... Ah, whatever. Let it be what it will be...


"Hm... is there some problem, Master?"


I thought, Haa... am I really going to die...? Why is my luck like this...?"


In any case, after that, we left the summoning chamber.
