"I heard that you were brought directly to Chaldea by a headhunter in Tokyo, Japan. Are you an idiot? You could follow others so easily and get on a plane that will fly to who knows where."
Entering an ordinary employee dormitory, Fujimaru Ritsuka held Fufu in his arms and looked nervously at Gaoyanskaya who asked him questions.
"It looks like you are a child from an ordinary family. You have no knowledge or background in magic... Well, at least you are not blue."
She sat on a chair, lowered her head and seemed to be checking her ankle that had just been grabbed by Jefferson Hyde.
"What...what do you want to say?"
Even though the conversation was very routine, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not relax his vigilance towards Goyanskaya.
"I'm just a little curious as to why a guy like you was absorbed into Chaldea... Ah, I probably understand."
Goyanskaya stood up and walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka, admiring Fujimaru Ritsuka as if she was appreciating her prey.
"The high adaptability of soul transfer...?"
"Did you come here just because of something like this?"
"hehe."
She laughed twice involuntarily, and Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know why she was laughing.
"You guy, it seems like you don't even know where this place is."
"The headhunter who found you didn't even tell you where Chaldea is located on the earth, right?"
Faced with Goyanskaya's sarcasm, even Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned for a moment.
"...I only know that this is a high mountain with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. The rest..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka knows nothing except this.
At least she didn't take the initiative to ask.
If you haven't asked, you naturally don't know.
"This is the center of a secret realm that does not belong to any country. It is an invisible mountain that has been hidden for hundreds of years with a magic barrier."
"If you knew where this place was when you were targeted by a headhunter, you might not be able to continue the conversation at all."
"It's probably like that - [I won't go to work that far away!] or something like that!"
Goyanskaya moved a little closer to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"This is such a remote place. We have so many departments wanting to come here, and it took half a year just to go through the procedures."
"...Why am I telling you this."
Goyanskaya frowned and touched her face with her index finger.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you about such boring topics, I'll just talk about it directly."
After adjusting her expression, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile.
"What I'm interested in are the forty-eight masters."
"That is, the thirty-nine Masters except you and Mash Kirilet, as well as the seven Group A Masters who are still frozen in the frame - they have all awakened now and have returned to their respective homes.
Oh."
"Although they have returned to their daily lives, the information related to them can still be sold at a good price."
"You should understand, right? Now that the possibility of spirit transfer has been confirmed, the information on the person who is qualified will naturally be worth thousands of dollars."
"certainly......"
"The most valuable thing is definitely Group A."
"That is, the seven people who were supposed to save the world on your behalf."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I said it wrong."
Goyanskaya showed an extremely sarcastic and unabashed smile.
"It's [the seven people who were robbed of their opportunity by you]."
Fujimaru Ritsuka——I don’t feel angry at all.
In a sense, what Goyanskaya said is indeed true.
"So, can you tell me? How much do you know about those seven people?"
Goyanskaya's purpose is already clear.
No matter what she plans to do in the future, it seems that she is planning to obtain some information about the seven masters of Group A from Fujimaru Ritsuka.
but......
"I have no idea."
Fujimaru Ritsuka answered very calmly.
She really doesn't know.
"......well?"
Faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer, even Goyanskaya showed a trace of confusion.
...
"Gove."
After arriving at the director's office, closing the door, Jefferson Hyde called his friend, and then sighed.
"Oh, Jefferson, you're here."
It seems that Goldruff has not yet passed the excitement period, and he has shown a considerable degree of interest in everything in the director's office.
"I still want to ask...Goff, why do you want to buy Chaldea? This organization is obviously...at least I don't think it is as valuable as imagined."
Unlike his strong appearance outside, Jefferson Hyde behaved in front of Goldruff with a... feeling of tiredness.
"On the contrary! The value of Chaldea is greater than I imagined."
Goldruff looked extremely satisfied, sitting in his office chair and spinning around happily.
"But I'm a little surprised that you personally came to escort me into Chaldea. I remember that the Navy has a hard time working there. The Magic Association often throws you some trouble."
Goldruff Mujik and Jefferson Hyde have been friends since childhood, and this relationship has continued until they grew up.
"...I'm not here for you, Gove."
Jefferson Hyde shook his head after silence.
"But you're here now, aren't you? That's enough to make me happy."
Goldruff patted Jefferson on the shoulder.
But the expression on Jefferson Hyde's face did not change at all. Instead, after turning his head away, his expression became more bitter.
Gove...
Why must you be the one to buy Chaldea?
Obviously, I have warned you before, right?
Why... why do you want to come to this muddy water?
But now it seems that everything is of no use.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Jefferson Hyde regained his stern expression.
There are some things that no matter how good the relationship is, you cannot tell Gove. Now that the matter has reached this point, it must continue no matter what.
"Where's Goyanskaya?"
Goldruff asked Jefferson.
"It seems that Fujimaru Ritsuka is undergoing some individual torture."
Jefferson said without raising his head.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka...is the master in that report? She seems to be the only master left in Chaldea now, right? So, she is still of some value?"
Goldruff said to himself.
Jefferson didn't want to hear it.
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't matter to him at all, and even Mashu didn't matter to him either.
He came to Chaldea this time for... only one purpose.
