Chapter 150
The place where Fushiguro Shiori woke up in Chaldea was not the infirmary that was already overcrowded due to the astral plasma mission, but the audio-visual room in the Chaldea headquarters. At the same time, to his surprise, his own son and stepdaughter, whom he had almost forgotten about long ago, were sleeping on the seats on both sides of him.
There was a black-and-white silent film on the screen in the theater, and no one was paying attention to it, and no one had switched the movie, which had obviously reached its end. There was no one in front of Fushiguro Shijiro, but he could clearly feel that there were many people sitting behind him, at least more than five people.
Fushiguro Shiji's memory is still stuck in the battle with the sub-servant - someone knocked him out from behind with something, and the speed was so fast that he didn't react. But Fushiguro Shiji didn't believe that someone kidnapped him, Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Tsume, just to let the three of them watch a movie that had already ended.
Finally, what broke the damn silence was the sound of the door to the audio-visual room opening and the light coming in from the corridor outside. Standing at the door was an orange-haired young man who turned off the projector and turned on the ceiling light in the audio-visual room. Then, behind Fushiguro Shijiro came the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against the seat of a chair, and other moviegoers left their seats one after another.
As the backs of people were leaving the audio-visual room, Fushiguro Shige saw the lavender-haired girl who had fought with him before - she was walking behind the purple-haired young man with the white-haired boy. Although there was no communication, it was clear that both she and the white-haired boy didn't like the purple-haired young man very much.
The second group of viewers who left looked like a family of four - the mother with long, silky white hair was holding her daughter, and her body naturally leaned toward the father with white hair and a red cloth around his neck; on the left side of the father, the boy with short brown-red hair was hiding his head and avoiding his gaze.
The last group did not leave the audio-visual room on their own - a hand belonging to an adult male fell on Fushiguro Shige's shoulder.
Fushiguro Shiori turned around and saw three people standing behind him. Although it looked a little strange, Fushiguro Shiori instantly understood the composition of these people sitting in the audio-visual room with him. Just like Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Tsuyoshi were sitting next to him, the other moviegoers also appeared here in groups of families with a son and a daughter.
"Let's go to the office and talk." Marisbili smiled and took the hand that was on Fukuguro's shoulder. He took Kirshtalia and Olgamari out of the audio-visual room. When he passed by Roman, Marisbili left another message, "Let's leave those two kids alone for now."
After Fushiguro Shigeki finally compromised and went to teach at the technical high school, and after the entire technical high school members were destroyed by his physical skills for half a year, in the second semester of 2007 - Fushiguro Shigeki, who usually didn't care about anything and even just beat up the students in class, noticed that Geto Suguru, who always spoke some bold words with Gojo Satoru, fell into a depressed state for unknown reasons.
At the same time, Chaldea's surveillance of Geto Suguru was also noticed by Fushiguro Shige - Fushiguro Shige himself had no intention of getting involved, but he did not expect that the day after he noticed Chaldea's surveillance of Geto Suguru, Chaldea openly sent people to his side again.
"……ha."
Of course, Fushiguro Shigeki knew all the Chaldea members who appeared in the high school - although he was really not good at remembering men's faces and names, he saw them every day throughout the year, so even if he couldn't call out their names, he could remember these damn faces; because strictly speaking, many people in Chaldea shared the same face.
The person who showed up at the door of his dormitory today was one of the people with this damn face—the boy with short brown hair appeared at the door with Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Tsumeki, and told Fushiguro Shigeru in a very unpleasant manner that his work arrangements for today were cancelled, and forced him to use his day off to take the two kids out to play.
"You are not the only one who can take Megumi and Tsumeki with you." Shirou Emiya pushed Megumi and Tsumeki in front of Shiori Fushiguro and added in a rather bad tone, "Today is a team building event - except for the necessary personnel, everyone else will have a collective holiday. Because there are still unqualified items in your test report, this can also be considered as part of your treatment."
Fushiguro Shigeru almost cursed out loud.
But when everyone gathered, Fushiguro Shirou realized that what Emiya Shirou said was true - except for the members of Chaldea who still had to monitor Kagome Geto, the rest of the people participated in this team-building activity; at the same time, he brought Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Tsumeki and once again became members of the same group as those who sat together in the audio-visual room.
The team-building project was to go to a world-famous large theme park - but because there were too many people, Chaldea had divided the people into groups in advance, so that as soon as they entered the park, most of the members ran away, leaving only this group that could be considered to have brought their families with them, and was left there.
"...Where are we going?" Kirshtalia asked the others while holding a map.
——Although they were asking other people, the members of Chaldea all turned their attention to Megumi Fushiguro, who was actually the youngest.
The siblings of the Fushiguro family, who had long been closer to Chaldea than their real father, came up to Kirshtalia who was squatting, and after a brief discussion, they decided on the course of action for everyone - the core of this theme park is a fairy tale world full of fantasy, which to be honest was not very attractive to most of the members participating in the team building, but it still attracted some members, so much so that when the final decision was made, Fujimaru Ritsuka chose this theme park.
——It’s also nice to come here just for the purpose of checking in. I haven’t been here yet.
This is what Ritsuka Fujimaru said, who lived in Japan for 16 years before coming to Chaldea.
"Start with the most recent one, and then go around in a circle." Fushiguro Megumi stretched out her hand and drew a circle on the map with her finger. "If you are interested, stop and look."
"Then let's go."
So they walked towards the nearest theme area - Fushiguro Megumi and Fushiguro Tsumeki ran from Fushiguro Shige to the Chaldea members; and Fushiguro Shige was obviously very happy to get rid of the two children and fell far behind the team; if Galahad hadn't reminded Fushiguro Shige in a calm tone that if he left the team he would be dragged back directly, he would probably have run away long ago.
"Have you ever thought about why we are always arranged together?" During lunch, the only one who knew the inside story of the grouping, Marysbury, asked Fushiguro Shiji who was sitting opposite him, "It's hard to believe that you successfully calculated the six-eye of the Gojo family last year."
"Why think about that?" Fushiguro opened the disposable chopsticks and glanced at Lancelot who came to their table because he was rejected by Galahad and Mash. "Anyway, I'm teaching at a technical college now, and you didn't want to kill me in the first place - it won't threaten my life, so don't think about it."
"I can guess it..." Lancelot looked helplessly at the only table of four people sitting there. As the only member who had accepted Moriarty's advice on how to mediate the relationship between father and daughter, he spoke the truth, "Everyone in our group is a single father with a pair of children and a bad relationship with his own children."
"The Guardian," Mariner Billy reminded Lancelot.
"Just tell us whether the Illya we know wants to kill him." Lancelot finished his first set meal and looked towards the table where Illya, Alicefiel, and Emiya Kiritsugu were sitting. "And you left Olgamari alone in England and went to Antarctica - none of us should say that anyone was bad, right?"
“…In that case, it’s a good thing that Emiya is like that.” Marisbury pointed out the facts of the past in a subtle tone, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted to take Illya back to his side—”
"From the perspective of a magician, I hope you can learn from Mr. Fushiguro's characteristics." Lancelot complained, "It can be seen in your own records in Chaldea that people with normal family logic are not suitable to be magicians - they are all dead, right?"
"That's what you said, but if that's the case, there's no need to organize this team building." Marisbury sipped the drink at hand very elegantly and pointed out the real point, "Since you're already a father, it's better not to be a scumbag. Besides, you have a stable job. It's time to try to change."
"Apart from the similarities mentioned before, are there any other similarities?" Fushiguro Shier lowered his head to eat, not looking at the two people opposite him, but took the initiative to continue the topic, "You always talk about some weird things, which are stranger than the sorcerers I know."
"I'll take that as an exaggeration." Marinesberry replied to Fushiguro calmly, "Lancelot and I were added later. Originally, there should have been only the Emiya family. They are the ones who are most similar to you. A bounty hunter, a gentle wife, a biological child, and a child who is not related by blood."
The bounty hunter was nicknamed the "Magic Killer". His gentle wife raised a daughter with him, but she soon died. Later, he adopted a child, but never saw his daughter again. His daughter even believed that her father had abandoned her, and she studied hard just to be able to kill her father herself.
"Bounty Hunter - Magician Killer." Fushiguro Shiji put down his chopsticks and gave his evaluation of the story, "It's very similar to me a year ago - a mercenary who can do anything as long as he is paid, nicknamed 'Magician Killer'. Kei's mother also died very early, so I became a member of the family later."
"But will ignoring children make them murderous?"
"After all, we are magicians - just assume that the child is from a large family similar to the Zenin family, and his father is a married woman." Marinesibili paused, "The father was considered a traitor by the family's rulers, so they have been instilling hatred for his father in the child."
"…What happens next?"
"That depends on what you do. Anyway, from our side, we can only say that everyone is dead."
