Fate/Bastard First Simulation In Britain as Morgan's husband

After a burst of light, Ian found himself back in the original corridor.

He suddenly realized that perhaps the simulation battle loading had already started after following Mash through that door.

That's why he could directly use "Servants" as soon as he entered.

What Chaldea black technology is this?

Ian couldn't help but sigh.

"Fou fou fou, fou fou?"

A familiar voice came, and Ian looked down at his feet, where Fou was looking at him with extreme resentment.

The words it had just said quickly translated in Ian's brain.

"A lone man and a young woman sharing a room, are you satisfied now?"

Looking at Fou like this, Ian had the idea to tease it.

"Yeah." He said seriously, "Mash and I finished everything we needed to do, thanks to your help, Fou."

"Fou fou fou (you bastard)!"

"Getting anxious already?"

Looking at Fou's fur standing on end, Ian felt extremely comfortable.

Mash looked nervous.

"Senpai, please don't joke like that with Fou."

"It's my friend and will take things about me seriously."

"..."

Ian glanced at Mash and then at Fou.

"Okay, my fault."

He bent down and reached out to Fou.

"Fou, I was kidding, I didn't actually do anything."

Ian wasn't lying.

During the simulation battle, his attention was completely focused on Mordred and related content.

He hadn't put much effort into other things.

Looking at the hand reaching out to it, Fou hesitated for a moment and responded with its paw.

"Fou fou fou."

"You want to lie on my shoulder?"

"Fou." Fou nodded.

"Hiss..."

Ian glanced at Mash, who was looking at him expectantly.

There was no way around it.

He had to keep up the good act.

"Alright, if you like it that much, then come on up."

As soon as Ian finished speaking, Fou climbed onto his shoulder in no time.

The skill was so practiced that anyone could tell it was a habitual offender.

But to be fair.

This guy was really light, and his fur was very fluffy when it stood on end.

It felt like if he was thrown down from a high place, he might be able to float in the air for a long, long time.

Seeing Fou lying on Ian's shoulder, Mash breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Senpai, you're a very special person."

"Very special?"

"Yeah." Mash nodded and looked at Fou lying on Ian's shoulder.

"You're the only person besides me that Fou would willingly approach!"

"..."

Ian smiled calmly.

"Maybe it's fate."

Of course, it wasn't fate.

But exposing the fact that he and Fou shared a common enemy in Merlin to Mash would not only be meaningless but also easily lead to the question of "who is Merlin."

It would be troublesome to explain at that time.

Things that shouldn't be mentioned should not be mentioned at all.

"Speaking of which—"

Ian looked at Fou lying on his shoulder.

"Where did it go just now? Didn't it come with us to the simulation battle?"

"Yeah." Mash nodded.

"Fou doesn't seem to like that place... so it always waits for me outside."

"Doesn't like it?"

Ian looked at Fou, and Fou looked at Ian.

Their eyes met.

The next moment was Fou's response.

"Fou fou fou, fou fou fou fou (what are you looking at Fou for, Fou has the right to choose for itself)."

Alright.

Ian decided not to dwell on it.

After all, this guy had helped him find Mash.

Otherwise, in such a large Chaldea, it would be an unimaginable amount of work to search one path at a time.

At this moment, Mash's voice came again.

"Um, senpai."

"What's wrong, Mash?"

"It's just..." Mash lowered her head, looking very embarrassed.

"It's getting late, do you... want to have dinner with me?"

"Sure."

Ian agreed without hesitation—there was no need to refuse such an opportunity to further understand the Chaldea environment.

"But Mash, I don't have a penny on me."

"No problem!"

Mash quickly pulled out a card from her clothes.

"I'm a full member here, all expenses can be paid with this!"

"I'll treat Ian-senpai!"

"Oh—"

Ian responded with a smile.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mash."

"I'll pay you back when I have the chance."

"Um~"

Mash seemed very happy to be able to help.

"Senpai, this way."

"Okay."

In the following time, Ian learned some more information about Chaldea from Mash.

For example, the Director she mentioned earlier who was in charge of the simulation battle program was actually Olga Marie.

Another example was that Chaldea's supplies were actually transported by helicopter.

Mash was like finding a tree hole where she could pour out everything, stuffing many things she knew into Ian's ears.

Looking at her like this, Ian vaguely felt a trace of pity.

How long had she been holding this in?

Perhaps noticing Ian's gaze.

Mash stopped her narration.

She avoided Ian's gaze and said:

"Um, senpai... do you find me annoying for chattering so much?"

"No."

Ian smiled slightly.

"I think it's amazing that you can remember so many things."

"Mash, you must have deep feelings for Chaldea, right?"

"This..."

Mash's expression became complicated, followed by a forced smile.

"It's alright."

"By the way, senpai."

Mash pointed forward.

"The dining area is ahead."

"It might be better to keep some distance from me if you see the others from Team A there."

"After all, I'm too weak."

"..."

Ian's expression became a little unhappy.

This made Mash very nervous.

"Senpai, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're a bit forgetful, Mash."

"Forgetful?" The girl looked puzzled.

"Yeah."

Ian's gaze fell on Mash.

"You just said you were going to treat me to dinner."

"If you're treating me to dinner, why should we keep our distance?"

"But..."

"No buts." Ian didn't give Mash a chance to argue.

"Didn't we agree to be more confident?"

"Mash, do you want to go back on your word?"

"Senpai, it's not like that! I didn't mean that!"

"Then give me your hand."

Ian held out his hand.

"I want to see who dares to point fingers at us."

"Senpai..."

The girl's eyes showed a light of hope coming true, and her fair cheeks also had a few traces of throbbing red.

"I understand!"

Mash grabbed Ian's hand, as if grabbing a hope.

The fact proved that the girl's worries were indeed a bit redundant.

There were indeed many people in the dining area, but not many of them cared about Ian and Mash entering hand in hand.

Even if one or two people occasionally looked over, they would give a kind look.

This situation continued all the way until the two found an empty table and sat down, without changing at all.

"See, Mash."

Ian shrugged.

"No one will say anything."

"Yes, that's right."

Mash's ears were red.

"Senpai, you're right."

What Mash didn't know was.

All her changes were seen by Ian—or rather, that's what he wanted.

He wasn't a good man who would give his gentleness casually.

That had a quota.

And Mash, who knew the whole process of the simulation battle just now, clearly had the value to make her have illusions.

"Se, senpai!"

Mash said, blushing:

"Let's sit on the same side, it will be more convenient to order."

"Okay, good."

So the two sat on the same side.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was a very intimate behavior.

Even Fou made a contemptuous "fou fou fou fou (you really don't plan to keep your distance from girls at all)".

But Ian wasn't concerned about this at the moment.

He felt that a pair of eyes had been staring at him since he entered the restaurant.

No.

To be precise, it was a gaze different from the concept of "a pair".

It was more like looking at him with only one eye.

If it was just looking at him, it would be fine, but Ian felt that the other person's gaze wasn't very friendly, and there was even some aggression.

Where?

Where exactly?

Ian's eyes searched around, but he didn't get the desired result.

At this moment, Mash's voice came.

"Senpai, what would you like to drink?"

"This one."

Ian didn't dare to relax his observation of the surroundings, afraid of missing any details, so he pointed at random.

"But this is—"

"It's okay, that's it."

"Then... okay."

Ian didn't notice the slight upturn of Mash's lips.

After that, the girl ordered some more things one after another.

Ian never gave up his observation of the surroundings, but the result was still fruitless.

After a while, Mash carefully pulled Ian's clothes with her hand.

"Senpai, can you answer me a question?"

"What question?"

"Why have you been so absent-minded since just now?" Mash's voice was worried.

"Is there something wrong?"

"..."

Ian turned his head.

He realized that Mash was looking forward to this dinner very much.

He shouldn't ruin this hope.

"It's nothing."

Ian smiled calmly.

"It's just that I'm here for the first time, so I'm a little curious."

"Oh... is that so?"

Mash, who had solved her doubts, showed a happy smile.

"Then senpai—"

"Let's have dinner together in the future, I can tell you more about how this place was built."

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "Thank you."

"It's nothing!"

"Here's your order."

After a waiter finished speaking, they quickly delivered the items to Ian and Mash.

Everything was normal before—until the last drink was placed on the table.

It was a large frozen drink.

For one person's appetite, it was an excessive amount.

But the problem was that it had two straws in it.

Ian almost instantly realized—it was a frozen drink for two people.

In other words, it was a couple's item.

"This..."

Ian's hesitant attitude made Mash nervous.

"Se, senpai!"

"This is what I wanted to say just now!"

"I thought you understood, but it seems not."

"It's okay, I can drink it all by myself!"

After saying this, Mash patted her chest—looking like she was trying to prove that she could really do it.

But the girl's heart was still a little sad.

Was it just a misunderstanding?

She thought he really wanted to do this...

But what happened next completely exceeded Mash's expectations.

Ian picked up the frozen drink on the table, adjusted the position of the two straws slightly, so that they were aimed at himself and Mash respectively.

He smiled and said:

"You didn't misunderstand."

"I really want to try its taste."

"Mash, can you join me?"

"Eh—?!"

The truth was of course not like that.

Ian didn't have any "want to try a couple's drink" idea.

He simply noticed that when the couple's frozen drink was placed on the table, the gaze that was watching him from somewhere suddenly became excited.

It seemed that its real target was Mash.

Then—

The thing to do was very obvious.

Make the other person expose themselves because of excitement.

That was the real purpose.

"O, okay!"

The two began to enjoy the couple's drink.

But the blushing girl didn't know that the man drinking from the same cup as her was thinking about something else.

That's right.

His judgment was correct.

The gaze's reaction was even greater.

In that case, things became much simpler.

A cold smile flashed across Ian's face.

The girl's inner fantasies were gradually coming true in this process.

She felt boyfriend-like treatment from Ian.

The physical contact between the two also became much more intimate than before, amidst Fou's murmurs.

By the time dinner was over, Mash almost subconsciously followed Ian back to his room.

Fortunately, Fou stopped her in time.

"Senpai." The girl's face was already too red.

"Today's dinner was really enjoyable."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Ian looked directly at Mash, who had taken Fou back.

"Then today's simulation battle..."

"If senpai needs it, I won't report it for now!" Mash replied.

"That's good, see you tomorrow, Mash."

"Yeah!"

The girl walked away happily.

Ian's face gradually became serious.

He felt the gaze was still there, and after thinking for a while, he walked towards a corner.

Soon, a figure followed.

But this figure never expected.

When they passed the corner, the lights began to flicker.

Then, a sword was placed at their throat.

Ian looked at the person in front of him and said coldly:

"I say, miss."

"Stalking is very annoying in reality."
