Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 20

“Doctor!”

Bai Qiu and Mashu greeted Romani, who was standing in the ruins.

Although the control room had been roughly cleaned, it still looked mostly like a ruin.

Because it involves the truth of Chaldea, Bai Qiu found an excuse to temporarily turn off the live broadcast.

At this moment, the doctor was looking up at the CHALDEAS, which had turned red, lost in thought until he heard Bai Qiu’s call.

“Oh, you’re here.”

Romani showed a slightly relieved expression when he saw Bai Qiu.

“It seems like you’re fine.”

“Well, besides some muscle soreness, there doesn’t seem to be any abnormalities.”

Bai Qiu moved his arms a bit, indicating that he was fine.

“You collapsed faster than us at that time, but luckily you made it in time.”

Romani looked up at the fiery CHALDEAS.

“In addition to the Winterwood Singularity that you eliminated, there are seven new Singularities. In order to save humanity, you must Rayshift to those seven Singularities and restore history to its correct form.”

“But as you can see, the situation in Chaldea is very bad. Apart from Chaldea, all traces on Earth have been erased. Now, you are humanity’s only hope.”

Romani’s gaze focused on Bai Qiu and Mashu.

“All the other Masters except for you have been frozen, and the only Servant that can be used is Mashu.”

The doctor’s expression was very serious when he said this, indicating that the situation was indeed very dire.

“This is just a pile of ruins! I thought there would be something fun here, so I followed along.”

Mordred kicked a piece of debris with dissatisfaction.

“Huh?! Why are there outsiders… this Magical Energy fluctuation? Are you a Servant?!”

“Of course, you shrimp.”

Facing Romani’s questioning, Mordred walked over unhappily and grabbed his collar.

“Can’t you even tell this? Are your eyes just decorations?!”

“Impossible, I was summoned as a Servant in the Singularity, and once the Holy Grail collapses, I will disappear due to the depletion of Magical Energy.”

“Who cares about you!”

Mordred let go, and said disdainfully, “Until I hear it clearly from my father, I won’t leave.”

“Doctor, this is Mordred, the Saber class.”

“The rebellious knight who destroyed Britain?!”

Romani was shocked.

“What’s wrong? Are you so surprised that you have something to say?!”

Seeing Mordred’s angry expression, Romani hurriedly waved his hands.

“No, I just find it… a bit beyond imagination.”

Romani held his forehead with his hand, looking incredulous. He seemed to have not anticipated this situation and turned his gaze to Bai Qiu.

“Doctor, I think our situation is already very strange, so a little more strangeness doesn’t really matter, right?”

Bai Qiu said.

“That’s true… I was so busy dealing with internal matters in Chaldea that I completely overlooked the fact that the Spiritually Heroic Spirits also Rayshifted back.”

A hand reached out in front of Romani, seemingly trying to pull him up from the ground.

“Thank you, oops…!!!”

Romani immediately realized that the person trying to pull him up was a white-haired man wearing a cloak.

Similarly, he was not human.

“This is Emiya Kiritsugu, the Assassin class.”

“Another one?!”

Romani looked at the Assassin in disbelief.

The other party seemed to be staring at him with sharp eyes…

“Emiya… Emiya… Seems like I’ve heard it somewhere.”

Emiya Kiritsugu didn’t say a word, but came to a nearby damaged wall, intentionally or unintentionally monitoring the doctor’s every move.

It seems that the recent actions were meant to prove to the doctor that the Servant who formed a contract with Bai Qiu is not just Mordred alone.

“Well, with Mashu, we now have three Servants, which increases the possibility of repairing the Singularity.”

Romani scratched his head and quickly made a judgment.

“Yes, both of them are very reliable companions!”

Mashu immediately nodded in agreement.

“Even so, I still think it’s too much of a stretch to repair seven Singularities just like this.”

Romani hesitated for a moment and looked at Bai Qiu beside him.

“Bai Qiu, as the only Master in Chaldea who can still perform Rayshift, I know it’s unreasonable, but are you willing to shoulder this imposed responsibility?”

“Of course, as long as I can do it.”

Bai Qiu nodded without hesitation.

He had no way out now. Even if he stayed in Chaldea, he couldn’t escape the fate of becoming a blank slate, or even ceasing to exist without becoming a blank slate.

“Thank you, Bai Qiu,” Romani said gratefully.

“Well, there’s no time to waste. We will begin the Rayshift in three days. Until then, please rest well.”

“Oh? Can we finally go to a new place?!” Mordred leaned in with interest.

“I want to go too, I want to go!!!”

She looked like a child who couldn’t sleep because she was excited for a spring outing.

“Master, as long as I’m with you, I’m sure we’ll meet Father someday, right?”

Bai Qiu pondered for a moment.

Indeed, they would meet, the one who wields the Holy Lance.

Seeing Bai Qiu nod, Mordred immediately patted Bai Qiu’s shoulder.

“Then, I’ll lend you a hand until then, Master!!!”

Mordred clenched her fist excitedly.

“Just wait, Father. This time, I will make you acknowledge that I am the true heir of Britain!!!”

Seeing Mordred like this, Bai Qiu also felt somewhat relieved.

Having such a powerful Servant by their side, they instantly felt more at ease.

In order to repair the Singularity, the ability to gather intelligence is also necessary.

And Emiya Kiritsugu, not far away, nodded at Bai Qiu, indicating that he would also follow along.

[Ding Ding——]

[Hint: In a single Singularity, the host can only contract with up to 5 Heroic Spirits (excluding Demi-Servant Mashu).]

[If there are more than 5 Heroic Spirits, it will not be possible to summon new Heroic Spirits using points, so please be aware.]

[Another reminder: In the future, you can use live stream points to remove the restrictions.]

What the hell, are you still limiting my Cost?

After listening to the system’s explanation, Bai Qiu couldn’t help but feel powerless.

Mordred and Emiya Kiritsugu already occupy two slots.

During the next Singularity, they can still summon three additional Servants.

Well, it should be fine.

If I remember correctly, the next Singularity is the Hundred Years’ War of the Evil Dragons.

The enemy forces are Gilles de Rais and Black Jeanne.

By that time, I should be able to meet the guaranteed summon.

Which Heroic Spirit will it be?

A sense of anticipation arose in Bai Qiu’s heart.
