Chapter 401
"...Then it's time to start discussing the action plan for the next world."
After Abe Haruaki finished his exploration report on this anomaly, the topic of the Chaldean meeting naturally shifted to the next mission.
"The world coordinates have been locked, and Chaldea is moving towards the coordinates of that world." Da Vinci controlled the system to switch the projection content on the screen, "This world and the first world we came into contact with are in the same world tree spectrum, so the discussion of this meeting will be based on the intelligence obtained from this mission."
"However, before we start the discussion, we still have to explain the difference between the last mission and the previous missions." Lansermello sat in the last row and pointed at the text on the screen with a laser pen. "Unlike the previous missions, the transfer method this time is not spirit particle transfer or virtual diving, but the technology of 'projection' and 'gate' used in the world of Saint Seiya."
"That is, we will appear in this world in the form of the Wandering Sea - our presence will exist in the past, present, and future of this world."
“Although this means that the entire Chaldea will join this mission, the actual execution of the mission will be more spontaneous.” Roman continued Lansermello’s explanation, “The requirement of this mission is to eliminate the Black Organization while reducing the casualties of the Red Team. If it is just to complete the mission, it is quite simple, but considering that we have to rebuild the world later…”
"During this mission, we need to get reacquainted with the way of life in the real world - of course, we don't force everyone to do this."
"In addition, Professor William has taken the initiative to take over the mission of saving people and interfering with the Black Organization, so we only need to think about what we want to do." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the slides on the screen and turned the pages, explaining the situation to everyone present, "The origins of the FBI and MI6 recorded in the previous recording mission are to be used in this world."
"Ah, if you want to participate in the mission there, you can also go and discuss it with Professor William. Both sides have no special restrictions on heroes, humans, or origins from different worlds. Please make your choice based on your own preferences."
"…Finally, I hope everyone will not forget to vote—the voting deadline will be when this mission is over."
When Chaldea stopped at the periphery of this world, the magicians dropped a projection of Chaldea deep in the Antarctic, and then divided different Chaldeas according to different times, destroying the continuity of Chaldea on the timeline - just like the Wandering Sea in the North Atlantic, the base was turned into a rumor belt.
"Those who are ready can leave first - don't get the time and place you are going to wrong. After all, there is only one door, so it is better to be careful." Lansemello stood by the wall and explained the situation of the "door" to everyone. "According to the requirements of Fujimaru and Maris, this time the "door" is set at the entrance of the control room."
“Leonardo took everyone’s ID cards before so that we could adjust the settings of the ‘gate’.” Roman redistributed the ID cards to the members of Chaldea. “This ‘gate’ is the same as the gates in other places. You need to swipe a specific ID card to unlock the gate, and then you can choose the time and world coordinates to go to. Considering that this system may be used directly when the world is rebuilt in the future, we also moved the ‘gate’ originally set at the nuclear power plant at the bottom.”
"In short, the protective measures should be in place, and there won't be any problems with other people accidentally entering the headquarters." Marisbury cleared his throat and continued, "Since you are not originally Chaldea employees, we have prepared temporary ID cards for you to use - but because the number prepared in advance is limited, we still hope that you can submit an application for temporary ID cards in advance."
"The opening time of the 'gate' is similar to that of the Wandering Sea, which is a fixed day of the year - here it is set to January 1st of each year based on the time when Fujimaru goes to the special point F." Lansemero stuffed a stack of temporary ID cards prepared in advance into William's hand, "There are thirteen cards in total, don't lose them."
"Of course I know." William replied to Lansemero with a smile. Under the gaze of everyone present, he swiped the access control, selected the time and world coordinates, and opened the door. "Well, I look forward to your arrival."
"Oh, by the way." After William led a group of people away, Lansemello informed everyone, "Because the connection this time is deeper than before, working in that projection of Chaldea is equivalent to working in the headquarters - I support everyone going to that world."
"Even if you don't live as an ordinary person in the outside world, it's necessary to go out and bask in the sun occasionally."
Then, after that, the members of Chaldea passed through the "door" one after another and entered the inside of this world which was the same as the first world*, but more similar to their original world in terms of time.
"Where do you want to go, Ritsuka?" Roman, who had already decided on his future plans after leaving, asked Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"I want to be a little further away from the protagonist - but it would be better if it's in Tokyo. If conditions don't allow, Beika Town is also fine..." Fujimaru Ritsuka sat opposite Roman and thought blankly, "But not Teitan High School - or rather, it's better not to go to high school. After all, the probability of high school students in this world participating in the fight against the Black Organization is too high."
"How about going to college?" Roman dragged the mouse to sort out the health records of the Chaldeans, and suggested to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Director Marisbury and his team seem to be planning to go to Teitan University. Originally, they were planning to go to Toudou University, but Professor William in 2015 brought news that Toudou University had a member of the Red Team, so they changed to Teitan."
"Is this okay?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Roman.
"I remember Director Marisbury said he was going to be a professor of astronomy, and Director Olgamari and Kirshtalia would go with him as his students." Roman pressed the save button and turned off the computer after the file was saved. "The deputy director is going to be a professor of history. If you are interested, you can also join them."
"After all, you don't want to get involved in the main storyline, so William will definitely exclude you."
"I'll go ask them." Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted his head and jumped off the stool. "College students may not have enough freedom in their schedules, but if the person in charge takes the lead in slacking off, then the time becomes quite free! After all, there are cases every day of the year in Beika Town - I hope to avoid all the cases where the protagonist appears."
"It's probably impossible to do everything, but we can definitely avoid the Red and Black confrontation." Roman smiled, stood up and left the infirmary with Fujimaru Ritsuka. "William will inform us in advance of the Black Organization's next move - as for the rest... maybe it depends on the intelligence gathering capabilities of others."
"By the way, are you going to tell anyone where you're going?"
"I'm not going to tell them this." Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head. "They were noisy enough when I chose the club last time. This time they will definitely choose high school - who knows how much trouble I can avoid if I go to college. Although I am not incapable of solving these problems, I still need some time to relax."
"...William said he has already taken care of the fake identity issue for us." When Fujimaru Ritsuka rushed to the director's office, Lancer Mello was making the final confirmation with the other three before leaving Chaldea. "Let me confirm again. We left Chaldea in 2014 and arrived in Beika Town a year before the start of the main story... Fujimaru?"
"I would like to ask, can I also join Teitan University?" Fujimaru Ritsuka closed the door of the director's office and asked the four people inside with a smile.
Roman, Watson, and John left Chaldea on January 1, 2013, and appeared on the battlefield as Doctors Without Borders.
On January 1, 2014, Marinette, Lancermello, Kirschtalia, Olgamari and Ritsuka Fujimaru left Chaldea and went to Teitan University in Beika-cho, Tokyo, Japan. In the same year, Roman ended his work at Doctors Without Borders and came to Beika Hospital to work as a surgeon. Watson and John left the battlefield and came to Beika-cho to become assistants of Holmes and Sherlock.
Later, many members who remained in the headquarters chose to leave Chaldea at different times, some of which had already been chosen by others.
Then, the time in this world moved from 2014 to 2015.
"William: There will be a transaction at Dorobiga Paradise next, please avoid it - Moran can go if he wants to provoke Gin, but I don't recommend causing a commotion in a crowded place."
"Marisbury: Then let's find a way to organize the team-building activities at Teitan University..."
"Lancemero: Do we need to create an incident where the whole school knows we can't go?"
"Olgamari: Wait a minute! There's no way an astronomy research or history research group would cause a serious accident like the one in the chemistry lab!?!"
"Kirshtalia: Why can't we just blow up the kitchen during a family dinner?"
"Fujimaru Ritsuka: That will only make colleagues and classmates complain about the British, so don't challenge the kitchen."
"Roman: ...Can you please take care of my feelings while I'm working at the Beika Hospital? The people brought in by the ambulance were first sent to my place."
"Marisbury: I'll send us a seminar invitation in the name of Chaldea. After all, it's a world-class organization, so we should make proper use of it. William, didn't you pick up some people and leave them in Antarctica? We can arrange for their fake identities when we go back this time."
"William: Please send me a copy of the employee information after it is registered. I need to update the MI6 data."
"Holmes: I thought you would be in the FBI."
"McCoff: Britain is the home base of Holmes and Moriarty - don't worry, Billy is at the FBI, he will take care of it."
"William: Finally, as with every previous notification, if you need an identity to conduct social activities in the community, we will still provide a fake identity with an organization code. Well, this notification ends here - let's meet in Beika Town later."
