Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 21

After getting up, Bai Qiu changed into a Chaldea-prepared Magecraft Mystic Code and looked at himself in the mirror.

Hmm, still handsome as always.

Three days passed quickly.

During this time, he live-streamed several times under the name of taking a vacation from work to maintain the activity of the livestream room.

During the livestream, the doctor and Mashu also made appearances, and even organized an eating broadcast event within Chaldea.

Thanks to Mordred, who inherited King’s Stomach, he received a lot of gifts.

Mordred enjoyed the food and Bai Qiu was happy with the livestream points he received.

Mordred behaved well today, and the doctor was also happy.

The only ones who got injured were the logistics department of Chaldea.

It hurts, it hurts so much…

Now the accumulated livestream points are around seventy draws.

Including the previous eleven draws for Emiya Kiritsugu and thirty draws for Mordred.

As long as he saves up for another ninety draws, he will definitely get a Servant!

Moreover, within these ninety draws, there is a possibility of drawing a new Servant, which means he’ll make a fortune!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Bai Qiu’s lips, and he felt even more excited about today’s Rayshift.

“Senpai.”

Coming out of the room, Bai Qiu saw that Mashu was already waiting at the door.

Mashu was wearing a tight combat outfit today, holding the dining table of the Arthur family in her hand, looking cool and waiting for him.

Seeing Bai Qiu sizing her up, Mashu’s cheeks turned slightly red.

“Senpai… please don’t look at me like that…”

“Fou! Fou—woof!!!”

Fou leaped on Bai Qiu’s shoulder with a shield and pushed his face to the right with its furry little paws.

“Fou!!!”

“Ah, it hurts…”

Caught off guard by Fou’s push, Bai Qiu felt like his neck almost snapped.

“Senpai, are you okay?”

Mashu hurried over.

“I’m fine, I’m fine…”

Bai Qiu turned his head back and waved his hand.

“You two, today is the day we depart.”

In the corridor, a mature woman walked towards them.

She had a charismatic face that no one would forget once they saw it, and there was a bird perched on her shoulder, like a work of art.

“Da Vinci?”

Chaldea’s assistant, Heroic Spirit No. 3.

Known as the great schemer, because her Magecraft workshop has many great things.

The beautiful sister in front of him smiled like the real Mona Lisa, but her eyebrows furrowed slightly when she heard Bai Qiu’s address.

“You should call me Da Vinci-chan!”

She corrected Bai Qiu’s address unhappily.

“As fellow members of Chaldea, our address should at least bring us closer.”

“This address makes me feel like we’re even further apart… right, Mashu?”

Who would use such an address to refer to their comrades? Besides, this beautiful sister’s soul belongs to a male!

“Good morning, Da Vinci-chan!”

“Good morning, Mashu-chan!”

Ignoring Bai Qiu beside her, Mashu and Da Vinci greeted each other enthusiastically.

“You two better hurry to the control room.”

“Is it because Dr. Romani is getting impatient?”

“Roman? It doesn’t matter how Roman is doing, the key is that the energetic Servant brought by this Master is getting impatient.”

Listening to Da Vinci’s description, Bai Qiu immediately thought of Mordred’s face.

He didn’t expect her to arrive so early.

“Well, let’s go ahead, Da Vinci.”

Bai Qiu took Mashu’s hand and started running towards the control room.

“I said to call me Da Vinci-chan!!!”

…………….

Bai Qiu and Mashu ran all the way and quickly arrived at the control room.

From a distance, they could hear voices coming from the control room.

“Hey, soft-shelled shrimp, go get me a few more cups of coffee. This little amount is not enough to drink!”

“Huh?! But those were all the ones I had collected myself.”

“Who would this little amount be enough for? If not, get some juice! It’s better to meet the standards of a king!”

“But if I do that, the logistics personnel will complain, and what exactly are the standards of a king…”

The door to the control room opened, and Bai Qiu and Mashu entered at the same time.

“Oh! Master!!!”

Upon seeing Bai Qiu enter, Mordred, who was sitting on the table, immediately showed an excited smile.

“You finally arrived! When are we going to set out?”

Mordred waved to Bai Qiu, with an expression that resembled an elementary school student ready for a field trip.

“Mordred, why did you get here so early?”

Bai Qiu asked in confusion.

It was still about half an hour before the assembly time.

“Well, that’s because I slept here since last night!”

Mordred proudly patted his chest.

“…”

You really are like an elementary school student!!!

Bai Qiu looked around the control room. In addition to the doctor and Mordred, Emiya Kiritsugu was also there, leaning against the wall in silence.

“Don’t worry about that. Let’s get ready to depart, Master!”

Facing the eager Mordred, Dr. Romani leaned towards Bai Qiu.

“Cough, Bai Qiu, Mashu, I have a few things to discuss about this Rayshift.”

Dr. Romani pointed to his wrist device, and then a document was projected in front of them.

“We have observed a total of seven Singularities, and this time we have chosen the one with the least fluctuations. Once you arrive there, immediately start investigating and making corrections.”

Well, I have already gathered information about the Singularities in advance, so I should have the advantage.

“Previously, in Fuyuki, the Holy Grail was destroyed, so we only managed to retrieve a part of the fragments. This time, you can use the same method to destroy the Holy Grail. Of course, if you can retrieve it, it would be even better, as the Holy Grail is a precious magical device with immense Magical Energy.”

After Dr. Romani finished his instructions, he looked at Bai Qiu and Mashu.

“Once the Rayshift is successful, the support Chaldea can provide will be very limited. You’ll have to rely on your own judgment for all actions. Understood?”

“Understood.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

“Then, let’s enter the Spiritron Dive and prepare for the Rayshift.”

Under Dr. Romani’s command, Bai Qiu and Mashu entered the Spiritron Dive.

“Hey, this is too small. It’s not comfortable at all.”

Mordred, lying inside, complained discontentedly.

“Well, please bear with it for a while…”

Dr. Romani scratched his head and said.

Meanwhile, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was on the side, had already entered the dive and remained silent.

“Reverse Summoning System, activate!”

“Begin the Spiritron conversion.”

The voice from the broadcast echoed in their ears.

“Countdown to Rayshift, 3, 2, 1…”

“Full project clearance, begin actual verification, Grand Order!”

With a buzzing sound, dizziness followed.

Bai Qiu understood very well that their first official mission to tackle a Singularity had begun.

Their target, France!!!

…

The first Singularity.
