Chapter 300

After the Holy War, because the gods had been completely separated from the human world - no longer Athena, Kido Saori began to worry about the reemployment arrangements for the Saints.

At this time, Shiroto Saori had to admit that the re-employment arrangement of the Sanctuary Sea Realm left by Chaldea in advance solved her urgent problem - after all, even if the Gurado Group and the Solo Family joined forces, and there was the Sanctuary backup industry that Dieter had operated for more than two hundred years, it would still be a hassle to reasonably integrate this group of people who were out of touch with social common sense most of the time into ordinary society.

But the plan proposed by Chaldea was to keep the Saints away from ordinary society - and... Kido Saori glanced at the Saints who were busy applying medicine to each other, and put the plan of sending them to the Antarctic Observatory as the first priority.

- To be honest, because Hades chose to destroy the entire underworld directly, the people who were not injured were a little flustered when they escaped from the underworld, which resulted in the situation where some people even fell to the ground and could not move.

Fortunately, the barrier around the sanctuary that shielded ordinary people had not disappeared, so everyone was able to continue their recuperation in the sanctuary. Shiroto Saori took the opportunity to pull in Surant, who was nominally in charge of sea affairs, and discussed with him the re-employment direction for these warriors under the gods.

"...Although they all seem to have been resurrected, those who didn't preserve their bodies properly before basically disappeared with the end of the holy war." Surant gave Kido Saori an example from the inner sea realm, "Didn't Garon return to the Sanctuary to become a Gemini Saint? The Sea Dragon Unity who was our replacement more than 200 years ago disappeared directly after the end of the holy war."

"As for us, the two who participated in the Holy War the day before us disappeared..." Kido Saori blinked, thinking of the previous generation of Gold Saints who had not aged much due to the Gods' Art of Pretending to Die. "But the previous generation of Gold Saints were granted the Gods' Art of Pretending to Die by Athena of that generation, so their bodies are real."

"Even Gemini, who was actually resurrected after the last holy war."

"Then it would be most convenient to go to Antarctica, right?" Surant picked up the letter left by Chaldea and looked at Kido Saori. "The Gurado Group and the Solo Family have both invested - but it doesn't mean we will meet people from Chaldea, right? According to them, even if we are in the same place, we may not be able to see them in the future, right?"

"Base sequence: confirmed to be human genome.

Spiritual weapon attributes: Confirmed to be moderate and orderly.

"Welcome to the library that tells the story of the future of mankind.

This is Chaldea, the human rights continuation protection agency. 』

"Fingerprint authentication, voiceprint authentication, genetic factor authentication - completed.

Detection of magic circuits... Completed. 』

"Same as registered name.

Confirmed to be a primate.

"Nice to meet you."

You are the first visitor to the museum today. 』

"I hope you have a good time."

The pure white observatory located deep in the snow-capped mountains 6,000 kilometers above the Antarctic opened its doors to new visitors. Kido Saori, who also came to the scene, made Camus, who had mastered many magic arts, the first to walk to the door of Chaldea. When the door slowly opened, he widened his eyes in surprise.

——This is not the empty shell of the observatory that the Gurado Group and the Solo family jointly funded and built, but it is undoubtedly the shadow cast by Chaldea from the future on the past.

"Ah, there's a newcomer." The Chaldean staff, who had just completed the process of incorporating this world into the root system, had no time to rest when they heard the announcement from the students of the El-Melloi classroom who had taken over the control room broadcasts and the authority to open the door.

"There are so many people - even if we add these people, there are still not as many people as in the past."

"But even if they are from the mysterious side, these guys don't know how to use magic, let alone the world's most advanced technology equipment in 2017."

"That's right. After all, Chaldea is an observatory that brings together the elites of both magic and technology."

"So then it will become one instructor with a bunch of stupid students... It is absolutely impossible to cram all of this number of people into El-Melloi's classroom."

"You speak as if you had supervised graduate students before coming to Chaldea."

"No, I'm the stupid PhD student who's holding the whole project team back."

“…Young people are good.”

"Hello!!!"

Although the Chaldeans were basically scattered in various corners of the observatory due to work needs, the Saints who entered Chaldea for the first time did not meet a single person - they met a strange white creature that looked like a squirrel and could make a "fufu" sound.

Fou, who saw the Saints who were about to join Chaldea before anyone else in Chaldea, walked around the Saints a few times with a serious expression, and after judging their situation in her own way, she quickly ran and disappeared from the sight of these outsiders. Merlin, who sneaked out of the Chaldean body floating outside the world to find Fou, was kicked skillfully by the little animal and turned away before he collided with the Saints.

"Where would it be better to put the 'door'?" Marisbury, who was standing in the observatory at the top, turned his head and asked Lansemello, "Someone proposed to use a personal room - each person's personal room is connected separately. Some people also proposed to put it in the control room or the deepest nuclear power plant..."

"The idea of ​​a personal room is a good one, but the more troublesome thing is that these Saints might suddenly open the door." Lansemello looked at the map of Chaldea floating in the air in front of him, "So it would be better to set it up in a place where no one usually goes - such as a nuclear power plant."

"Then choose the gate of the nuclear power plant on the bottom layer?" Marinesberry cast his eyes to the bottom layer of the map, "Are you going to meet those saints?"

"It's enough to have Achiman here." Lansemero closed the map and looked at the bright blue sky outside the glass window. "After all, the main negotiator is the goddess of wisdom. Kido Saori will not so easily agree to Chaldea taking over these guys with extremely high combat power. After all, great power is also a kind of danger."

"Can Caster dispel their doubts?"

“No, but the King will arrange a place for everyone who stays. And, even Kido Saori...she is already in our Heroic Records.”

When the "door" connecting the projection and the main body was set up, Roman's negotiations with Kido Saori and Surant also came to an end - those members who wanted to return to the normal world would of course go back with Kido Saori, while those who were not clear about their goals were left in Chaldea; the Aquarius people who were originally going to take over the Sanctuary Industry directly were detained collectively.

As for the reason given by Roman,

"Phoenix Chaldea is a research institute and observatory that gathers researchers from various fields, including magic and science, in order to ensure that human history can continue long and strong. Compared with members of other constellations, Aquarius is the most noticed by Chaldea members - they are more suitable to display their talents in the world of magic, that's all."

The Aquarius people, who had originally learned business in a hurry, successfully broke away from the future of continuing to run the consortium and devoted themselves to the even more hopeless research of magic. Kanon, who once worked in the Thoreau family, silently took over the burden thrown by the Aquarius people and walked back behind Kido Saori.

The visitors' comings and goings were being monitored by El-Melloi in the control room, so Roman left the meeting room first and went to the nuclear power plant at the bottom to find Marisbury and Lancermello.

"The result is much better than we expected." Roman first shared the final result of the negotiation with the two. "The ones that the deputy director specifically asked to stay have all stayed, and the others were just randomly fought for. In short, three of the five Bronze Saints who were the main force in the Battle of the Zodiac stayed."

"...Phoenix." Lanser-Mero glanced at the closed gate of the nuclear power plant. "I actually hope he won't choose to stay - but can he really stay in Antarctica and not go anywhere else!"

"I don't think that's possible." Marinesbury gave a pertinent answer with a smile. "By the way, are you going to meet the ones who were nominated to stay?"

"Let's forget about it now." Lancer-Melloi shrugged and walked towards the elevator. "Let's have El-Melloi teach them the basics first. Okay, it's time to notify everyone to go back. The operation here will be left to the Saints. Just like the Sea of ​​​​Wandering, the 'Gate' will not be open to anyone except the chosen ones."

"Besides, not everyone I named can directly pass through the 'door' and enter 'Phoenix Chaldea'."

"... an increase of a single digit is almost equivalent to no increase." Roman shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and notified everyone to gather at the nuclear power plant on the bottom floor using the Chaldea work channel, which had not yet added any new personnel. "However, now that the repairs are complete - we should prepare to set sail again."

"This is the first step of reconstruction - we will continue to accumulate experience and rebuild our world at the end of this journey."

When leaving the planet and returning to the sea of ​​stars once again, everyone in Chaldea was full of motivation - and then, like a ship raising anchor before setting out to sea, Chaldea gradually released the fixed ritual that had been embedded in this world like a giant mechanical claw, leaving only a weak connection with the projection at the South Pole, and began Chaldea's drifting journey again.

"...I can now understand a little bit how the Greek gods felt when they descended on Earth." As Fujimaru Ritsuka watched the Saint World gradually disappear from his sight, he turned around and told Kirshtalia who was standing beside him his thoughts, "Come to think of it, we can also be considered a ship crossing the sea of ​​stars."

"What do you mean?" Kirshtalia tilted her head and listened to the young savior's thoughts.

"From the beginning, we are the Noah's Ark that preserves the hope of our world - even if we are just drifting now and have left our original planet. We are also the Noah's Ark that carries hope, crosses this sea of ​​stars, and will one day recreate the entire world."
