But what did Slime do wrong?

Until Fujimaru Tachika and Mash left the deck and stepped on the ground with their feet firmly on the ground, they still felt a little unreal.

"Hey, you guys, hurry up and don't stay by the port any longer."

Zhongyuan Zhong also raised his hand, lowered the brim of his hat, and cast a shadow on his face.

"This is the boundary of the port Maffia, ordinary people should stay away from it."

Although...they don't look like ordinary people.

"Uh, ok, thanks for letting me know..."

Fujimaru Tachika bid him farewell obediently, and then left with Matthew.

"That, senior!"

They only walked a few steps before Mash stopped, tugged on Fujimaru Tatsuka's sleeve, and a blush flew up on her face.

"Everyone seems to be... all looking at me..."

Fujimaru Tatsuka glanced around, and immediately understood what was going on.

No other way, because if they come to the singularity, Mash will of course come in the form of the Ascension of the Spirit Foundation... But they have never guessed before that this world is actually a background state that is so close to modern society.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the armor worn by Matthew, which obviously does not fit the background of modern society, is obviously very eye-catching.

Even if this is Japan, even if it can be called cosplay...it's weird.

It's because Matthew didn't hold a shield in his hand, otherwise he would definitely get more attention.

And... even in terms of COS, Mash's combat uniform reveals too much... Well, things that shouldn't have been exposed in the first place.

Fujimaru Tachika coughed a few times to cover up his unnaturalness.

When he came out this time, he was wearing the uniform of the clock tower apprentice, so he immediately took off the black cloak he was wearing and put it on for Matthew.

"Let's do this for now."

Fujimaru Tachika carefully helped Matthew fasten the front button of the cloak.

"Let's go shopping for other clothes later."

"Doctor Roman!" Fujimaru Tachika shouted, "Please point us to the direction of the leylines."

"Okay."

It was clear that there was no third person by their side, but a young man's voice came from the air, replying to Fujimaru Tachika's request while "crackling" as if operating something on the keyboard.

Then, some light spots lit up on the electronic device worn on Fujimaru Tatsuka's wrist, which seemed to be at hand, and kept flashing, as if indicating the direction.

"Doctor Roman." Fujimaru Tatsuka hesitated for a moment, but did not immediately step forward, "Have you found out the specific situation of this singularity?"

The sound of typing on the keyboard on the other end of the communication rang for a while, and then came a weak voice: "...Uh, I'm sorry, Lixiang, Matthew."

Well, that's what it means that nothing has progressed yet.

Fujimaru Tatsuka moved her fingers, and suddenly called out: "Doctor Roman."

"What's wrong, Lixiang?"

"The gentleman who helped me and Matthew on the sea before... I heard the subordinates call him Lord Zhongyuan."

While talking like this, Fujimaru Tatsuka thought of the other party's black bowler hat.

This image...is slightly familiar.

Fujimaru Tachika: "Doctor Roman, can you compare... Chuya Nakahara? The similarities with the gentleman just now?"

"Lixiang, you doubt..."

"Maybe I'm just thinking too much." Fujimaru Tachika spread his hands, "But, after all, this is a singularity, isn't it?"

:——In the singularity, no matter what happens, it is possible.

With such an attitude, Fujimaru Tateka decided to make a bold guess and carefully verify it.

Anyway, don't you know nothing about this singularity now?

So even if it is any possibility, it would be better to try it, right?

Maybe they bumped into each other right on the wrong side.

In this regard, Fujimaru Tachika still believes in her own luck.

And soon, there was also a feedback from Chaldea: "Lixiang, we have analyzed it!"

"Didn't it be impossible to analyze the composition of this singularity because of reasons that could not be ascertained before? I just used [Nakahara Chuya] as a clue to investigate, but unexpectedly found a breakthrough—"

Doctor Roman's tone was sharp.

"Lixiang, thank you for your reliable intuition as always, we have indeed analyzed the world now."

"The one you met before is indeed the poet who left his name in the history of Japanese literature—[Nakahara Chuya]."

"Ah, I think it looks a bit like the photo on the cover of the poetry collection..."

Fujimaru Tachika murmured.

"But that Mr. Nakahara, you mentioned before—the port of Maffia, right?"

Matthew clasped her hands, a little tangled.

"Will the poet... have anything to do with Maffi?"

This is beyond the scope of Matthew's understanding, but no matter how you think about it, the Maffia members who wield knives and guns are not related to the romantic poets—this is not related at all, right? !

Doctor Roman said seriously: "This is the first singularity among this singularity."

"The literary giants you are familiar with may appear in another form."

"Huh? In the form of Maffia?"

Fujimaru Tatsuka complained with half-moon eyes.

"And the first singularity... Could it be that there are more than one strange things in this singularity?"

"That's true."

A frivolous voice rang in the ear.

"Merlin?!"

Doctor Roman suddenly let out a strange cry.

He became vigilant like a cat with fried fur: "You bastard, why are you here?!"

"Oh, isn't it because I realized that Lixiang needs help, so I came here in a hurry?"

The half-dream devil with a flower in his ear smiled: "Compared to the guy who can only point fingers through the screen, the big brother I want to come is more reliable and trustworthy, right?"

If this word got out, the Knights of the Round Table would be able to spit on him to death.

"Okay, let that guy talk about it, what's your opinion on this singularity?"

Even though he knew it was impossible for Merlin to see it, in Chaldea, Doctor Roman was still furiously crossing his arms.

He was speaking out of anger, but Merlin is so good at seizing the opportunity, and he continued following Dr. Roman's words: "Okay—then, next, let the big brother of Paradise answer the questions!"

Dr. Roman:? ? ?

"As you all know, a large part of the literary giants in this world have never set foot on the way of writing, but have other livelihoods."

"There is no doubt that this is contrary to normal history, which fully meets the conditions required for the formation of a [singularity]."

"But it's more than that."

The magus who came to this world earlier than the Chaldean group and had been silently watching and collecting information for an unknown amount of time told this.

"The deviation of literary giants is only a very small part of it. Rather, the part of history that modern literary giants can influence is really limited, and it is not enough to distort the world and form a singularity."

Fujimaru Tachika felt that she had understood something: "However, the larger changes and distortions that reach the level of [singularity] can be connected with the unusualness of the writers, and it can even be said to be closely related. ?”

Merlin smiled: "You can also say that."

"In this world, there are parts that are the same as history, but there are also many parts that are distorted from history."

"Identify these distortions, turn them back on track one by one, and recover the Holy Grail—Lixiang, this is what you need to do in this world."

"Oh, just talking about it like this, you already feel very hard, don't you?"

Fujimaru Tachika: "Since you think I'm working hard, can you help me?"

Merlin half closed one eye, stretched out his index finger and shook it, and showed a mysterious smile at Fujimaru Tachika.

"Of course, you don't need to tell me about this, I will also prepare in advance." Merlin said, "For example, I have already seen where the Holy Grail that caused all distortions and changes is—how! Is this news enough?"

Fujimaru Tatsuka: "Wow, that really helped, Merlin."

"However, although the location of the Holy Grail has been determined, the Holy Grail in this world is not so easy to obtain, right?"

"After all, this singularity—"

***

Limuru suddenly shivered violently.

"What's wrong, Rimuru?"

The cat, who had always been very close to him, hurriedly asked his health again.

"Are you feeling cold? In that case, I'd be happy to warm you..."

While saying such words, he stretched out his hand, wanting to hug Rimuru into his arms.

He stretched out a hand from the ground, blocking Maomata's movements.He turned his head ferociously, and what he saw was Dazai Osamu's face.

"That's not good?"

Osamu Dazai asked.

"It would be better if you return my king."

Limu showed black lines all over his head: "It's just a trembling, it's nothing!"

However, having said that, Rimuru herself was a little puzzled.Because logically speaking, he has temperature resistance and shouldn't be affected anymore.

But...it's not a big problem.

***

"The realm of truth and falsehood."

"That's the name of this singularity."

Mei Lin said: "Flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, castles in the sky..."

"How do you know that what you see is real?"
