Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 80

A beautiful melody echoed in his ears.

Bai Qiu hummed along.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are…”

Following the rhythmic melody, Bai Qiu arrived at an open space.

In front of him was a piano and a man’s back.

Beautiful notes flowed from the man’s fingertips, as if the surroundings had turned into a beautiful scenery.

Bai Qiu couldn’t believe that this “children’s song” could be so beautiful and enchanting.

It wasn’t until the last note ended that the man slowly stood up and bowed to Bai Qiu, who was still immersed in the music.

Huh? Shouldn’t I clap at a time like this?

Just as Bai Qiu was hesitating, the man looked up and spoke gratefully:

“Thank you for listening, Mr. Bai Qiu.”

“You are… Mozart?!”

Bai Qiu was surprised to find that the person standing in front of him was the famous Mozart!

“Yes, I apologize deeply. It was my weakness that allowed the music demon Amdusias to appear.”

Mozart lowered his head.

“For some reason, my Saint Graph from that era was mixed with the factors of the Demon God Pillars, and I was ultimately suppressed by them. As a result, I can only be considered a third-rate performer…”

“No, no, no. As a musician, you are definitely top-notch.”

Bai Qiu quickly waved his hand.

As a Servant, he couldn’t be considered third-rate either. After all, he was his first Blue Cane as a young person.

“To thank you for eliminating the Demon God Pillars, I specially came to perform my favorite piece for you – Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I added variations to it, using this piano to create a unique sound that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.”

“Isn’t that very precious?!”

Bai Qiu was shocked. Mozart personally playing a variation of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for him?

First of all, thanks to CCAV…

“Mr. Bai Qiu, by eliminating the Demon God Pillars and restoring one of the seven foundation stones of humanity, you deserve to have me personally perform for you.”

Mozart bowed to Bai Qiu once again.

“This is all thanks to my efforts and the efforts of the other Servants. In fact, the other Servants deserve more credit.”

After all, he was just an ordinary person.

“No, Mr. Bai Qiu, the heavy responsibility of repairing human reason still rests on your shoulders.”

Mozart’s figure gradually dissipated.

“May your journey be blessed by the Goddess.”

“Hey, wait!!!”

Bai Qiu hurriedly reached out his hand.

“Don’t leave yet! Can I record that piece just now? It will definitely go viral if I put it online!!! Wait a minute———!!!”

Bai Qiu woke up from his dream.

His hand was reaching straight up, with the glaring light shining on him.

“Darn it…”

Bai Qiu sighed unwillingly.

He didn’t manage to record Mozart’s variation that he composed for him!!!

No, he had to find a way to summon Mozart for the live stream’s popularity…

“Senpai, are you awake?!”

Mashu’s excited voice quickly came through.

When he turned around, Mashu was sitting on his bed wearing Chaldea’s standard attire.

“Fou…Fou…”

A fluffy little creature jumped onto Bai Qiu’s face.

“Fou, you can’t do that to Senpai!”

Mashu immediately panicked and scolded Fou.

This little thing suddenly appeared before the Rayshift and jumped onto Bai Qiu’s head, without knowing where it had gone before.

But after all, it was the Fourth Beast, and it could go wherever it wanted.

He couldn’t control it, nor could he control it.

Bai Qiu looked at his bedside, where there was a plate of apples carved into cute little rabbits.

“Is this…carved by Mashu?”

“Yes, it is said that giving apples to patients is a custom in many countries, like a kind of recovery spell.”

Mashu explained immediately, blushing slightly, and said:

“I don’t know if Senpai likes this…”

“Ah, um! (Chewing) This thing is actually quite delicious, give me some more.”

A figure approached and directly took a bite from the plate of apples on the bedside.

Seeing that she wanted to take a second one, Mashu panicked and shielded the plate with her body.

“This is for Senpai to eat, Mordred, you can’t steal Senpai’s apples anymore!”

“Jeez, you’re so stingy.”

Then Bai Qiu’s side sank.

“Hey, Master, are you okay after sleeping for so long?”

Mordred sat cross-legged on Bai Qiu’s bed.

“Not… Can you take off your shoes?”

Although Chaldea is indeed quite clean, aren’t you afraid of your mother breaking your legs for wearing shoes on the bed?

“Don’t sweat the small stuff.”

Mordred swallowed the rabbit-shaped apple she had snatched.

“Master, you’ve been sleeping for nearly three days. If you don’t wake up soon, someone might just tear this place apart.”

“Three days?!”

Bai Qiu rubbed his forehead. It seemed that Rayshift put a heavy burden on the body, causing him to sleep for such a long time.

“Ah, Mordred, please stop talking.”

Mashu heard footsteps approaching from outside. She turned around, looked back, and immediately tried to prevent Mordred from continuing.

“Mashu, I’m sure you’re also troubled by her. Ever since that woman came here, she always runs over here for no reason and threatens to set others on fire. These past few days, she’s been making that soft-shelled shrimp unable to do anything.”

Before Mordred could finish speaking, a tremendous pressure came from behind.

“When we were supposed to eliminate those Demon God Pillars, I thought she was reliable. Turns out, she’s just someone who loves to cause trouble.”

“Who are you calling a troublemaker?!”

Jeanne Alter appeared suddenly, burning with anger.

“You, the rebellious knight, have the audacity to accuse me? You destroyed Britain, and you say I’m causing trouble?”

“Hmph, aren’t you just a witch who wanted to destroy her own country? What I said, isn’t it the truth?!”

Mordred didn’t back down and directly confronted Jeanne Alter.

“You wanna fight, don’t you?”

“Bring it on!!!”

The two of them grabbed each other’s hands and began to clash, their eyes seemingly spewing flames.

“Um, Mordred, Jeanne Alter-san, please don’t fight!!!”

Mashu was desperate and didn’t know what to do, trying to persuade both sides.

“They have such a good relationship.”

“Yeah, I thought they would start fighting, but in our homeland, it’s actually a custom to express emotions with fists.”

Johanna and Martha whispered to each other at the door.

Watching Mordred and Jeanne Alter about to fight in the room, Bai Qiu felt like crying without tears.

Is it really so hard to just have a peaceful moment?

“Get out, all of you!!!”

Bai Qiu finally couldn’t bear it anymore and yelled at everyone.

Seeing Bai Qiu getting angry, Johanna and Martha quickly slipped away.

“Senpai, please rest well. Mordred, Jeanne Alter-san, let’s go outside.”

Mashu looked hesitantly at the two who were glaring at each other.

“Hmph.”

“Tch.”

They let go of each other’s hands, and Mordred was the first to walk out. Jeanne Alter deliberately walked a bit slower.

“Cough, um… Are you okay?”

She casually asked Bai Qiu.

“I should be fine.”

“That’s good…”

Then, Jeanne Alter hesitated for a moment, hugged her arms, and turned her head to say:

“You forcibly brought me to this unfamiliar place… I’ll reluctantly accompany you for a while…”

Before Bai Qiu could respond, Jeanne Alter explained directly.

“What I mean is… in the end, anyone who gets involved with witches will be burned to death by the flames of hell. So, farewell.”

She ran away from the room as if escaping.

Phew…

Watching Jeanne Alter’s panicked retreat, Bai Qiu fell into deep thought.

If she were to find out that the words she said when her Saint Graph disappeared were livestreamed to tens of thousands of people…

…the world would probably be destroyed, right?
