Chapter 051 [Inverted V] 51

"Kotobuki." The Watcher put away the instruments that once belonged to Chaldea, and called her attendants through the paper sliding door of the castle tower, "Let's get everyone ready - there are guests coming, and we should prepare a banquet. Next, I will change the scenery of the main castle to Koyuki and Kantsubaki, and the kitchen will know what kind of banquet to prepare."

The silver-haired errand boy watched the scenery of Honmaru change from summer to winter in an instant, and walked silently to the hall downstairs to inform others to start preparing for the banquet.

The Hiroma was packed with people, just like when Yagen Toshiro returned from the Government of Time not long ago, but as the Watchers recovered, the bone spurs on their bodies were also rapidly receding - so now, almost all the swordsmen in the Honmaru were crowded in the Hiroma waiting for Toshiro Kotobuki, who was their attendant, to inform them of the Judge's arrangements.

"The lord said that there are guests coming, and we need to prepare a banquet." Kotobuki Toushirou paused and added his own thoughts, "The lord sounded very happy - but it doesn't seem like the two people from C16 are coming to visit. In addition, the lord hopes that we can prepare a suitable banquet to match the new scenery."

"Aren't they the two from C16?"

Many sword men were puzzled by this - the Watcher had never maintained close contact with other Judges in the past, and until now, only No. 48 and Shielder were frequently invited by her to visit Zero Honmaru; they really couldn't think of any other possible guests.

"...I can roughly guess who the guests the lord is talking about." Yagen Toushirou sighed helplessly, looking at the silver-haired katana with some tiny bone spurs that had not yet subsided, "Nagayoshi, can I leave the negotiations with the government to you? I will stay in Honmaru this time to prepare the banquet - the guests are indeed not the two from C16, but perhaps they cannot be counted as others either."

"Understood. Leave the government matters to me." Yamaubakiri Nagagi pulled the cape on his shoulders, pressed all the tiny bone spurs back into his body, and strode out of the hall. "I will try to finish my argument with the government before the banquet starts - if I don't make it in time, remember to save some food for me."

"Of course." The swordsmen in charge of the kitchen looked at the receding figure of Yamaubakiri Nagayoshi and smiled helplessly in tacit agreement. "Yakuken, can you tell us more about this guest?"

"I don't know the details either - this is just a rough guess." Yagen Toushirou pressed his forehead and explained to everyone the guests that the Watcher was going to receive this time. "We all know that the Lord and the two people in C16 have a past in Chaldea - although not in the same world."

"So the guest this time should be the third Chaldea we know of." Yagen Toushirou stroked his chin in deep thought, and asked his brother about the attitude of the Watcher. "Brother Kotobuki, is there any more obvious difference between the lord's attitude and the two guests from C16 in the past?"

"My lord... her emotions are more complicated than before." Kotobuki Toushirou pondered for a long time, and hesitantly answered Yagen Toushirou's question, "If you ask me to speculate - I think the guests the lord is talking about this time are the entire Chaldea over there. My feeling is that because there are so many people, the lord's emotions are more complicated than before."

Everyone gathered in the control room of Phoenix Chaldea once again - the agenda of the meeting was displayed on the screen used to observe other worlds through a projector, and the members of Chaldea expressed their opinions on the vacation invitation; however, the final decision was made by the directors gathered above, and the other members were so enthusiastically discussing this topic only because they had been drifting for too long and had little time to relax.

“…I actually really want to go over there and take a look.” Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was sitting below, turned his head and whispered to Mashu while no one was paying attention. “That’s Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu Kyrielight from another world!!!”

"But, didn't we meet the equivalent of New Chaldea in Pan-Human History in the past?" Mash blinked and asked Fujimaru Ritsuka in confusion, "Is there... something different, senior?"

"The one in the pan-human history section is Fujimaru-kun, and the one here is Ritsuka-chan like me." Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the basic information that was distributed to everyone in advance. "Although they haven't experienced the journey of the anomaly belt, we haven't crossed many anomaly belts either - after all, it's always Fujimaru-kun who's been cutting down the fantasy trees, right?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru did not notice that the directors above had stopped arguing about the invitation, and instead focused their attention on her and Mash.

Roman was the first to give in. The head of the medical department put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly at Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was full of hope to meet another self. Then Marinette and Olgamari voted in favor, and the father and daughter moved in unison behind Lancermello. Leonardo da Vinci spread his hands, glanced at Roman, looked at the faces of Ritsuka Fujimaru and Marsh, and smiled with relief.

So in the end, only Goldruf, who had no decision-making power in the beginning, remained silent. The alchemist from the Law and Politics Department quietly insisted that he shouldn't relax at this time, while at the same time he supported the proposal for everyone to take a vacation insincerely - it was rare for the directors to pass such a proposal so peacefully without anyone else knowing.

“Although it’s a vacation, we definitely can’t just abandon Chaldea in space like this - we need people to stay behind.” Roman scratched his hair and looked at the members below. “Chaldea’s most extreme operating state was in 2016 when the control room exploded and the anomaly was repaired. Excluding Ritsuka and Mash, the total number of people was only 20.”

"If it's a short vacation, maybe we can arrange for people to stay behind to this extent..."

"I don't think you need to be so nervous." Lansemero stretched out his finger and tapped the signature on the invitation on the work tablet. "This invitation is signed by the Watcher of the Observatory 'Chaldea'. Chaldea is not an observatory that looks up at the stars from the earth, but an observatory built to overlook everything on the earth from the void; and the Beast of Mercy once called me the Guardian of the Sea of ​​Stars before the Crown Time Temple was completely destroyed."

"Because you are a paradise fairy belonging to the 'Earth'. Even if you are in an observatory overlooking the earth from the void, you can only look up at the sea of ​​stars from the ground." Roman leaned on the table and interpreted for everyone the magical words that had long disappeared in the past and were left behind during his lifetime. "But you have only ever looked at Chaldea in the sea of ​​stars, the observatory in the void."

"Looking at it this way, even if the experiences of the isotopes are different, the similarities between them are too high."

"Since the person who invited me is my peer, how about listening to my opinion?" Lansemello smiled with one hand on his face, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was sitting below, "Let Fujimaru and Mashu Reiko move there - the others stay in Chaldea. She will definitely want to meet most of the people in Chaldea, but the focus will definitely be Fujimaru and Mashu - this will not change just because she has Fujimaru and Mashu from another world who she often meets with."

"So I suggest that Fujimaru and Mashu Reiko be transferred over, and the others be summoned as Fujimaru's Servants - this is not a risk!" Lancer-Melloi nimbly dodged the chalk that Roman threw at him and that was left on the table by El-Melloi II. "For the first meeting, it would be best if everyone could be present... After that, we will rotate according to the duty roster. Those who are resting will go on vacation, and those on duty will be responsible for maintaining Chaldea."

"So I told you in the infirmary that this ritual is stable and feasible, and the risk is not high - Achiman!!! Why would I risk the framework of rebuilding the world!!! That's Kirsh!!! It's the 'sky' that covers the 'earth' and 'man' in the framework!!!"

“… Well, in short, let’s just treat this vacation as a special feature of the past summer.” Finally, Roman cleared his throat and announced the next arrangements to the members of Chaldea, “Ritsuka and Mash will use the spirit particle transfer to go to the coordinates provided by the other party, and the rest of the people will appear in the world through the Heroic Spirit Summoning… After Ritsuka has built the summoning array, we will notify you. The duty roster of the control room remains unchanged, that’s all.”

"Just relax and have fun this time." Lancer Mello and Olga Marie came to the bottom of the control room, stood in front of the basket for the soul transfer, and watched Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mary walk into the basket. "This is a rare rest time, there is no danger, and there probably won't be any accidents. By the way, although it is said that real names cannot be used there, and code names must be used..."

"But I guess, if it's just within the scope of her Honmaru, it doesn't matter even if her real name is revealed. She is undoubtedly standing at the top, suppressing the entire world. There is no reason for others to hide her. It can only be that she is tormenting other people in that world as she pleases."

"The soul particle transfer has entered the final stage."

"Coordinates: AD22XX.XX.XX World Gap Zero Main Maru"

"Laplace's transmission support has been established."

"Addition of factor positions for unique points has been ensured."

"Anti-call system has been set up."

"Please make the final adjustments, Master."

"Counter-summoning system, activated."

"Begin the soul particle conversion."

"The distance to the start of the soul transfer is 3, 2, 1."

"All work is completed."

After the spirit particle transfer was completed, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately looked around, looking for Mashu's figure - and Chaldea's spirit particle transfer system has always been very reliable when it is not disturbed. The Heroic Spirit Armament that had not been seen for a long time appeared on Mashu again, announcing the fact that she now exists as Fujimaru Ritsuka's Servant.

"Nice to meet you. May I ask if you two are the guests that the lord has invited?" The silver-haired boy, wearing a thin white kimono, walked over the snow on the ground and came to the two people. "I am the attendant of Zero Honmaru today, Kotobuki Toushirou. I am here to greet you two at the lord's command."

"In addition, the Lord once mentioned that you might need to borrow the node of the spiritual vein. This cherry tree is the largest spiritual vein node in our Honmaru."
