Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 28

“What’s wrong?”

“I have temporarily transformed this area into a base, and the other Servants are resting as well.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

“Thank you, Ruler.”

Thanks to Johanna’s ability to construct bases, he didn’t need to spend points or Command Seals to restore his Magical Energy.

“Not at all, as long as I can help Master, this is nothing to be thanked for.”

Johanna naturally walked over to Bai Qiu and confirmed with her eyes.

After getting Bai Qiu’s approval, she sat down next to him.

“Master, you don’t have to be so formal, just call me Johanna.”

Maybe because of the influence of her own aura as the Popess, it was difficult for Bai Qiu to emotionally connect with her.

Always feeling like…

Being close to her would purify him…

So he couldn’t help but want to keep his distance from her.

“Ahaha, did I make a too forceful request?”

Seeing Bai Qiu’s silence, Johanna smiled slightly and shook her head.

“As a fictional character, I have been controversial, but it is precisely because of these controversies that I exist. Perhaps in Master’s eyes, summoning such an unreliable Servant who can’t even understand herself, you might be a little worried.”

“No, you have helped me a lot. Being able to summon you is my luck.”

Seeing Johanna seem a little down, Bai Qiu quickly waved his hand and explained.

After all, being able to quickly construct bases and barriers, causing Jeanne Alter to retreat, and providing Magical Energy supply and a stable base, it was a huge help.

And to summon Popess Johanna with only 100 summons, it was really too lucky.

“…Luck?”

Johanna looked at the damaged statue of the Virgin Mary in the small church in front of her.

“This must be the will of the Lord, it is the ever-present Lord who has sent me to assist Master. I’m sure you are burdened with a great responsibility now.”

“Well, more or less.”

Bai Qiu sighed.

Saving the future of humanity, avoiding Human Order Incineration.

Just thinking about it gave him a headache, and actually carrying it out would definitely be very difficult.

“Oh, in that case, isn’t it a wonderful journey?”

“Wonderful?”

Bai Qiu looked at Johanna helplessly.

No matter how he thought about it, would this kind of thing be related to being wonderful?

“Perhaps Master is currently going through something very difficult and painful, but once you reach your goal and look back, won’t this journey be the most wonderful journey of your life?”

In the silver moonlight, Johanna shone brightly.

Ugh… so dazzling…

I’m really not good at dealing with people who can be called “saints”.

“If possible, please let me accompany Master on this journey!!!” Johanna’s eyes were full of sparkling stars as she looked at Bai Qiu with anticipation.

At such a close distance, she could even easily feel her breath.

“Well… don’t you think it’s troublesome?” Bai Qiu slightly turned his head away.

“Of course not, after all, I am a fictional character. If I can travel with Master in this capacity, it would be proof of my existence in the world.”

“Even if it’s just a little, I hope that Master will remember that I once existed, that I was a Servant who accompanied you on this journey.”

Under the silver radiance, Johanna and Bai Qiu looked into each other’s eyes.

Perhaps it was because of Johanna’s words that moved him, or perhaps it was because of Johanna’s words that put him at ease.

Bai Qiu couldn’t take his eyes off for a moment.

Perhaps, as the pure and flawless girl in front of him said.

…This journey isn’t so bad after all?

[Ding ding – Congratulations, host. The number of followers in this live stream has exceeded ten thousand!]

[New point purchase function has now been unlocked.]

[Spend one hundred thousand points to directly unlock the second Noble Phantasm of the current Heroic Spirit!]

[Host, please unlock according to the situation on-site.]

Suddenly, the system’s announcement startled Bai Qiu.

In order to stabilize the increase in the live stream points, Bai Qiu had previously switched the perspective of the live stream to Mashu, who was on guard duty.

Mashu insisted on standing guard, and Bai Qiu had no choice but to agree.

Many viewers in the live stream were clamoring to see Mashu, so Bai Qiu gave them the view of Mashu.

He remembered that there were only a little over eight thousand followers before, and now it has already surpassed ten thousand so quickly?

Bai Qiu looked up at the top right corner of the transparent screen in his field of vision.

He found that at some point, the original view should have been near the surrounding city walls, but how did he appear on the screen?!

“Cough cough!!!”

A cough sounded from behind.

Mashu stood at the entrance of this dilapidated chapel, smiling at Bai Qiu and Johanna.

“Mashu?!” Bai Qiu instinctively stood up, creating distance between him and Johanna.

“Why are you here…”

“Senpai, I was a little worried about your safety, so I came to take a look.”

Mashu always had a smile on her face, but for some reason, her smile now seemed a bit terrifying.

“Yay! My favorite segment is here!”

“The fan service scene, the Shuraba!”

“I came first, actually.jpg.”

“Damn it, why are you, the host, cheating on us while Mashu is so cute and standing guard for everyone!”

“At night, what are you doing alone with the Popess in the chapel, host?!”

“Open up, FBI!!!”

“Chapel, Popess, being alone, I understand, you’re replenishing faith!!!”

“Hey upstairs, is your faith serious?”

“Selling peanuts, melon seeds, beer, mineral water, fried chicken legs. Please make way for the audience in front.”

“Front row audience, be careful not to get splattered with the host’s blood later.”

………………..

The barrage in the live stream room soared like flying, with all the viewers turning into spectators.

Everyone was gloating and waiting to see how Bai Qiu would handle this situation.

“Miss Demi-Servant.”

Johanna was the first to break the deadlock and smiled at Mashu.

“You came just in time. I was just discussing things with Master.”

“Future?!” Mashu stood still, then looked at Bai Qiu.

“Senpai… what do you mean by ‘future’?”

“Ah, this ‘future’ means…”

Bai Qiu’s forehead broke out in cold sweat.

It was just an ordinary word, but why did it sound so ambiguous when it came out of the Popess’s mouth?

While Bai Qiu was quickly thinking of a countermeasure, Johanna stood up and walked straight towards Mashu.

Before Mashu could react, she warmly held Mashu’s hand.

“I was just discussing the future journey with Master. Only by uniting all the forces under the Master’s radiance can we achieve Master’s great cause. Let us all work together for Master, Miss Demi-Servant!!!”

Watching Johanna, shimmering with starlight all over her body, Mashu didn’t know what to say for a moment and could only nod.

“Well… if Senpai needs me…”

These two girls on the screen seemed to have reached some kind of extraordinary agreement, leaving the viewers in the live stream room stunned.

“Oh no, why does it feel like the wind has changed?”

“I came at the wrong time… No, you came at exactly the right time.GIF.”

“Oh crap! This sneaky host!!!”

“Quick, kill me, this can’t be real!!!”

“6, this is even more science fiction than science fiction movies… Domestic science fiction is still too conservative.”
