"The investigation of the specific movements of the Magic Association, the hiding of the spiritual portrait used by Miss. Fujimaru, and the impact of the departure of the followers—these are all things I am doing."
"Although, it's not very troublesome."
"Holmes!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up and she stood up from the chair.
"Ouch! What a cute reaction! Very good!"
Holmes also looked very happy - at least that's how it seemed to Fujimaru Ritsuka's performance.
"It was not in vain that I hid in advance..."
"Hey, hey, hey, hide from me!"
Da Vinci, however, looked unappreciative at all, grabbed Holmes' hand, dragged Holmes directly into the magic workshop, and then closed the door of the workshop with a "bang".
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's really rough."
Holmes patted his sleeves and showed a somewhat helpless expression.
"I'm sorry, Ritsuka, Holmes is a secret among secrets. In the report I wrote to the Magic Association for almost a year, I didn't even disclose Holmes's 'luck', right?"
"The only Servants who can legally carry out activities in Chaldea now are me, Leonardo da Vinci and Laurence Anno Falco. Such things as Sherlock Holmes don't exist at all.
Doesn’t exist? In short, this is insurance just in case, you understand, right?”
Da Vinci was very serious when he said this.
"oh oh......"
A little confused, but Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.
"...Let's put aside the matter of calling me 'this kind of thing' for now, Miss Fujimaru, this is also for the safety of Chaldea's old employees, especially you and Miss Mashu.
"
Holmes held up a finger.
"It is the so-called...[invisible enemy], and my existence is equivalent to [the enemy's invisible friend]. Everything needs some backup, especially now.
A situation where you have to leave your fate in the hands of others."
"But having said that..."
Holmes shrugged, retracted his fingers, and placed them behind his back.
"I'm not a martial artist. If any conflict really breaks out, the most I can do is probably just stick to this magic workshop - something like that."
"Hmm...but Mr. Holmes, don't you know the Baru Technique?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his crooked head.
Outside of combat, she generally displays some naturally stupid traits, which increased significantly after the end of the human body incineration.
"The Ba Liu Technique can only be regarded as a self-protection technique at best. It is of little use when the opponent is an armed group."
Holmes explained seriously.
"So why is the topic that conflicts at the level of armed groups will definitely occur? It will only be friction and disputes at best, right?"
Da Vinci loudly stopped the conversation between the two that was gradually becoming uncomfortable.
"What are you talking about?"
Click——
The door of the magic workshop was opened for the third time, and a lady wearing a goose-yellow dress walked in.
"I can hear you arguing from the hallway."
Lawrence looked at Holmes and then at Leonardo da Vinci, frowning slightly.
"Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to the control room?"
Da Vinci blinked.
"The snowstorm hasn't stopped yet, there's not much movement down the mountain, and there's no one in the control room, so I came back."
Lawrence turned around and closed the door, squeezed Holmes away, then touched Ritsuka Fujimaru's head and sat down where he had been sitting before.
"How is everyone's mood in Chaldea?"
Da Vinci walked to Lawrence and leaned on the table.
"The mood is very bad... After all, everyone was basically recruited here by the old director. Now we are used to everything that is completely different from the working environment of regular magicians. The new director
After coming here, it is likely that we will go back to the original mode of the clock tower... although I don't know exactly what mode the clock tower is."
Lawrence sighed softly and shook his head.
Facing this topic, Leonardo da Vinci, Sherlock Holmes and Fujimaru Ritsuka were all somewhat silent.
"So, what were you talking about just now?"
While Lawrence was making coffee, he glanced at several people in the room.
"It's about Sherlock Holmes. We didn't expect this person to be so knowledgeable in science and magic, didn't we?"
"Ah...you mean that thing..."
Lawrence rubbed her temples, maybe because she was a little uneasy, she felt like she had a migraine.
She raised her head and glanced at Holmes.
"So? How's that thing doing?"
Behind Holmes, there is a suitcase, which looks... a little strange?
"What's this?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the suitcase behind Holmes with some curiosity.
"The things inside are as valuable as the entire earth, aren't they?"
Da Vinci mysteriously approached Fujimaru Ritsuka's ear.
"The transfer will be completed in about five days. At that time, it will be almost time for us to leave Chaldea. We will tell you when the time comes."
As she said that, she smiled and patted Fujimaru Ritsuka on the shoulder.
"Well, this is better. In that case, I will go back to my workshop first."
Holmes nodded and turned away, as if he wanted to leave.
"If you are really imprisoned by then, it will be about time for me to show off my hidden stunts."
Before leaving, he turned around, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said such incomprehensible words, then opened the door and left.
"Hidden stunt? Super baru technique?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka stood there and guessed what Holmes was talking about.
"I said, is it really okay to let him move around in Chaldea with such arrogance?"
"It won't be long before the blizzard stops, and then those guys at the bottom of the mountain will enter Chaldea."
Taking a sip of the coffee that was still a little hot, Lawrence glanced at Leonardo da Vinci.
"Don't worry, he knows what he is doing, but Lawrence, you seem a little too worried."
"Okay - if that's the case, let's calm down everyone in Chaldea as soon as possible. No matter how much we don't want to face it, that's the person we must see, isn't it?"
"Quietly wait for everything to end. When the United Nations review is completed, we can basically come back."
Da Vinci pinched Lawrence's shoulders twice.
Lawrence was silent and took another sip of coffee.
