"understood."

"Miss Fujimaru Ritsuka, you have a good rest. If anything happens, press the thing on the bedside and I will come over in time."

"Ok~"

Leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka, Ian came to the door and saw Mashu and Mordred waiting.

"Senior, how is she?!" The pink-haired girl leaned over and asked with a worried look on her face.

"Other than the pain all over my body, it's nothing serious."

Ian touched Matthew's head.

"Didn't I tell you earlier that he had multiple soft tissue contusions all over his body, a fractured hand, and a slight concussion? He wouldn't have died like that."

"and--"

"If you're so worried, why don't you follow me in?"

"This one……"

Matthew glanced at the door of the room next to him.

"I'm afraid that if there are too many people, she will feel oppressed."

"You are really kind, Matthew."

"So what's going on?" Mordred curled his lips and asked with confusion on his face.

"Master, have you asked clearly why she is the one flying the helicopter?"

"..."

The question Mordred asked was also a question that Matthew was concerned about.

After all, it was very wrong for Fujimaru Ritsuka to sit in the driver's seat at that time.

It’s not surprising that the girl was confused about this.

Looking at the two people looking at him, Ian did not hesitate.

This is not something worth hiding - it is an accident level after all, and everyone will know sooner or later.

"Matthew, Mordred."

"It's the way it is."

In the next few minutes, Ian told the two people in front of him exactly what he asked from Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Their expressions became more and more surprised as the story was told.

"This……"

Mashu blinked her eyes as beautiful as violets.

"Senior, how could it be that you suddenly fell into a deep sleep?"

"Hmm... maybe it's because he's tired?" Mordred scratched his face and answered.

"I've tried it before because I got too sleepy from playing."

"Then he started dozing off and ended up falling out of the tree he was sitting on!"

"..."

Ian shook his head.

"I don't think that's the case."

"After all, according to Fujimaru Ritsuka's description, they did not have a gradual process of falling into deep sleep, but 'suddenly fell into deep sleep'."

"Mordred, you should understand the difference between the two, right?"

"Is that so..."

Mordred nodded.

"It doesn't seem to be the same thing."

Listening to this conversation, Mashu pursed his chin and thought seriously.

Suddenly, she realized a possibility.

But this possibility was so absurd that she couldn't accept it.

Almost subconsciously, Matthew looked at Ian beside him, hoping to get some courage to support his statement from his attitude.

But what the girl didn't expect was that when she looked at the man, he was already looking at her.

Matthew's face suddenly turned red.

Then he said "Senior" in a panic and lowered his head.

However, Ian did not end the exchange of eyes. He said:

"Matthew."

"I see you have been thinking about it for so long. You must have some ideas, right?"

"If you don't speak out, this time will be wasted."

"But--"

Matthew hesitated.

"I think my idea may be a bit ridiculous, and my seniors will find it ridiculous."

"There's nothing ridiculous or not."

Ian looked directly at Matthew in front of him.

"Whether something is absurd or not is not decided by one person."

“Only by talking about it and letting others participate in the judgment can we finally define it.”

"before this--"

"Every idea is just speculation about it."

"Matthew, I don't want to see you fall into such self-doubt."

Ian's words gave the girl great courage.

She nodded and then said:

"Senior, let me tell you what I think."

"Go ahead."

"I think it's because of magic." Matthew directly revealed his thoughts.

"Magic, magic?"

Mordred was puzzled.

"Where did the magic come from?"

"Well...I don't know either."

"but--"

Matthew looked at Ian in front of him.

As long as he is around, I will gain enough courage.

"If the relevant magic was set up on the helicopter before it went out."

"Can we achieve the current effect?"

"Set up related magic on the helicopter?"

Mordred became more and more confused as he listened.

"According to what was said at the beginning, wasn't that thing called the helicopter used to bring Fujimaru Ritsuka back?"

"You set this magic up here to kill her?"

"..."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mordred reacted.

"Master, Mash."

"Are you really planning to kill her?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a while and nodded.

"Well, as far as the current inference is concerned, I more support Matthew's statement."

"But maybe it needs to be revised a little bit more."

"It wasn't the magic that was cast on the helicopter, it was the magic that was cast on those people from Chaldea who were on the helicopter."

"Take them to sleep at a specific moment."

The truth is actually not difficult to understand.

If a person falls asleep suddenly, it can be called an accident.

But if everyone, including the helicopter pilot, is asleep, it will never be that simple.

Wide range and high precision.

The only thing that can do this kind of thing is magic.

And because Fujimaru Ritsuka himself was not affected.

Therefore, rather than "casting magic on the helicopter" as Mashu said, a more reasonable explanation should be that magic was cast on someone other than Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But this raises a new question -

"Why do you do this?!"

Mordred shouted.

"Isn't she a candidate for master just like my master?"

"Killing her to death on the road, isn't it contrary to the original purpose? It doesn't do any good!"

Even Mordred can think about things that Ian and Matthew naturally don't know.

The man had already thought about this.

"It's simple."

"Someone wanted to target her, but because Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't come, they could only kill her halfway in this way."

"but--"

"Maybe that person didn't expect Fujimaru Ritsuka's vitality to be so tenacious... He obviously didn't understand the operating principles of the helicopter, but he still persisted in reaching the sky above Chaldea."

"It's not just because Fujimaru Ritsuka's vitality is very tenacious."

Matthew, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

"The efforts made by the seniors and 'servants' are also one of the keys to saving her."

"Probably." Ian smiled bitterly.

"I think it's her ability to take advantage of such a terrain."

"Not everyone dares to force a landing under those circumstances."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Mordred stretched out his hand, interrupting Ian and Matthew's singing.

"Can you please stop talking to yourself and consider my feelings for a moment!"

"Who on earth wants to do this?! Is there any benefit to killing Fujimaru Ritsuka?! And wasn't she just chosen not long ago?"
