This is the southernmost part of the earth, the only continent that should theoretically be inhabited by no one except scientific researchers.
The Antarctic, where the lowest temperature reaches minus 93 degrees Celsius, is a restricted area that even humans native to the earth cannot reach.
Many pioneers died here, their bodies were buried here, and their names have been passed down from ancient times.
The "Amundsen Scott" station is a scientific research station established to commemorate the two pioneers who conquered Antarctica.
However, ordinary people don't know that there are people who have unknowingly settled here among the Antarctic mountains for more than sixteen years.
Chaldeas, the human security agency that holds the ultimate fusion of magic and science, is located here.
Within Chaldeas, there is also the "Amundsen Scott" spot to commemorate the two heroes.
Mashu looked at his lost Master and sighed slightly, not knowing how to deal with it.
Since the new director of Chaldea——Animusfia, this person came out of nowhere to replace the former director Olga Marie when Chaldea was in the most critical moment of losing its director. The existence has been missing for four days.
It was only four days.
But for some reason, in the eyes of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, it seemed like four months.
This is an unacceptable fact for Fujimaru Ritsuka, who is inseparable from Animusfia almost every day, and Mashu, who is forced to be inseparable from Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka.
It’s hard to believe that the person we were fighting with yesterday is no longer alive or dead today.
Although Fujimaru Ritsuka came to Chaldea earlier than Animusfia as a newcomer, she was involved in the special point F Fuyuki City on the first day she came to Chaldea, and she actually lived in Chaldea. Time is the same as Animusfia.
[Fujimaru Ritsuka's "youth" is the "youth" with Animusfia. 】
That person must be so neta.
Thinking back on what Animusfia did on a daily basis, the red-haired girl couldn't help but think of this.
However, before she could understand this period of youth, Animusfiya disappeared first.
Untimely memories also made her mood even more depressed.
In Chaldea where Animusfia was not around, Fujimaru Ritsuka no longer knew what to do.
"Senior, please cheer up."
"Fu~"
The little white beast standing on Mash's shoulder also made a sound as if echoing Mash.
After hearing Mashu's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to look at her, but then he sighed and returned his gaze to the South Pole behind the wind and snow outside the window.
It is precisely because you can see directly to the South Pole from here that this one of the few places in Chaldea where you can see the outside world is called "Amundsen Scott".
"Cheer up, what should I do, Matthew."
"this......."
If it came down to it, Mashu herself didn't know what to do because she couldn't cheer up either.
"I don't know where the director has gone? Now Chaldea should be the only safe place on the entire earth, but he is not here."
"..."
Matthew didn't know how to answer.
Theoretically, Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System should not make mistakes, at least not to this extent.
The moment Animusfia disappeared that day, a piercing alarm sounded in Chaldea.
Although Roman and Da Vinci said at the time that Animusfia was not injured or dead, she was reverse summoned to an unknown location.
This is the equivalent of throwing your cell phone overboard while an ocean-going vessel is sailing.
Although under the inertia, Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others did not seem to move.
But in fact, the earth's rotation speed alone reaches 465m/s, which is converted to 1440km/h.
Although Chaldea's location near the South Pole effectively slows down this speed, the Earth doesn't just spin.
The earth has reached a rotation speed of 29.87km/s, which translates to a terrifying revolution speed of 107,532 kilometers per hour.
This means that from the perspective of the solar system alone, the earth moves more than thirty kilometers every second.
Moreover, the above figures also ignore the linear speed of the cantilever of the solar system rotating around the center of the Milky Way and the speed of the Milky Way itself advancing in the universe.
Ignoring those truly astronomical speeds.
If it weren't for the mysterious quantum computer——the spiritual computer Trismegistus to ensure the data, even the Masters in Chaldea would have successfully traveled to the past and returned to the past. After being transported back to this era, he will only appear in a void of space.
This was the knowledge given to her by Animusfia.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were lowered, and she mechanically turned over the notes that Animusfia had given her in her hands.
It was definitely not pretty, and some crooked handwriting caught her eye.
"Ask yourself, what is the truth?"
That was Animusfia's gift to her lovely student.
[Never let yourself be influenced by what you are more willing to believe; or what you think will be more beneficial to society if people believe it. Just look at what is fact. 】
This should be the complete sentence.
One of the two sentences that the philosopher Bertrand Russell wanted to give to future generations.
Even in daily interactions, Animusfia always kept these words on his lips.
Even Fujimaru Ritsuka has remembered it.
Although that person is somewhat willful and distorts the world with his own knowledge————
It can no longer be regarded as willful, it is simply unreasonable.
But he always kept "objective facts" in mind.
In the eyes of Animusfia, celestial magic is just a tool for him to do things.
Rather than calling her a person who combines a "scientist" and a "magician", it would be better to say that Animusfia is just a scientist who uses magic.
Thinking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and the time she spent with Animusfia some time ago once again appeared in her mind.
But almost instantly, her brows frowned again.
The fact that Fujimaru Ritsuka understood was that it was almost impossible for Animusfia to return to Chaldea.
"...I don't know much about it, but if Animusfia is good at it, she can definitely take good care of herself even if she is alone."
Mashu said slowly.
That person seems to be able to find solutions and answers no matter what problems he encounters.
Just like the prompts in the game, once you use them, it is difficult to get rid of dependence.
This predicament may also be a test for Chaldea.
"So now we should work hard, work hard to find the whereabouts of the director, and then bring him back to live up to his expectations."
Fujimaru Ritsuka froze in place after hearing Mashu's words, then showed a slight smile, looked at Mashu and said:
"Yes, Matthew. Director, nothing will happen to him."
It's strange to say that even though that person had even lost an arm in the battle, Fujimaru Ritsuka still felt that Animusfia was very reliable.
"Master, you are in a place like this."
Some serious and cold voices came from behind Mashu and the master girl.
The two looked back and put on their fighting attire again. The black Saber Artoria Pendragon Alter wearing heavy black armor appeared in front of them.
"Good morning, Saber."
"Good morning, Miss Saber."
After hearing the greeting, Artoria Alt nodded slightly to Mash, and then looked at her Master.
"Is there something important that you are dressed like this? Saber."
"Yes, Master."
Artoria Alt nodded, affirming Fujimaru Ritsuka's statement, and then continued:
"Dr. Roman asked me to come to you. It's almost time to repair the next singularity."
"Eh? So sudden? But the director————"
Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could react, Mashu on the side couldn't help but said.
Is this asking them to give up Animusfia?
"That's why we need to set out now, Master."
Saber's golden eyes looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"The human foundation value of the second singular point that was originally detected has increased from B+ to A."
"How could that happen————"
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but said aloud.
Although it is called a singularity, the singularity is still in the past compared to Chaldea in 2015. As long as Fujimaru Ritsuka does not change in Chaldea, the foundation value of human psychology of the singularity will be Nor should it change.
unless.
Now exactly one person in Chaldea has disappeared.
"Is it the director's strength?"
Artoria Alt nodded, and then said:
"Dr. Roman and Leonardo da Vinci also guessed the same. The missing director Animusfia is very likely to have appeared in the second singularity."
"That guy...then what are we waiting for now? Let's act quickly!"
**********
Roman and Da Vinci quietly watched the three masters and slaves below the high platform who had entered the spirit child box.
"Romani, haven't you explained it to Ritsuka yet?"
"I thought you would explain it to her."
Roman looked at Da Vinci beside him.
"Don't let me be the villain."
"Then you have the nerve to let me come, you evil genius."
"She still harbors...the desire to bring back Director Animusfia."
"It can't be done."
It really can't be done. Even if Animusfia is really in the second singularity, at least he and Da Vinci here alone can't bring the Animus that has not entered the spirit child box from the past. Fia brought it back.
