Three books, four books, five books.

Ian just watched as Olga Marie took them all out.

As several times the amount of books were placed on the desk in the office, the normally resolute director slumped down in his chair, his whole body intoxicated by it.

This should have been a normal scene - it was normal to relax in a novel or something, but Ian found that something was not right.

Olga Marie…

He didn't seem to be excited about this kind of thing, but instead seemed a little disappointed.

This is abnormal.

After all, no matter how many romance novels you read, you can essentially understand Olga Marie's personal tendencies.

The worst thing is that I have a strong love interest, so I see a lot of explanations.

but--

While watching, he still made this expression.

This is the first time Ian has seen it.

It seems that it is best not to disturb her today - at least not for now.

But fate doesn't seem to want Ian to get away so easily.

Just as he was about to leave, the cell phone in his pocket made a sound.

That's your cue to receive new information.

The voice that was usually normal seemed like a reminder at this moment.

Olga Marie in the room suddenly became alert.

"Who?!"

"Who's outside?!"

"..."

Ian knew there was no way to pretend he hadn't seen anything now.

After all, if Olga Marie were to investigate, it would definitely be discovered that she had been here and then ran away.

no way.

We can only go in according to the original opportunity.

"It's me, the director."

"I have something to ask you."

Olga Marie still didn't realize that she hadn't even closed the door.

But she knew clearly that it would be bad if Ian stayed outside the door for too long.

Time was running out, and the young director didn't even have time to hide his romance novels directly. He could only temporarily hide them under his body.

She hurriedly picked up her coat and covered herself, pretending as if nothing had happened, and then called Ian outside the door.

"Well, come in."

The door opens.

Ian walked into the room pretending not to know anything;

And Olga Marie also pretended to have done nothing and looked at him.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

"..."

"..."

"What do you want to ask?" Olga Marie took the initiative to break the confused silence.

She still has a good impression of the man in front of her.

After confirming that the young director had not lost his mind because of those books, Ian decided to communicate with her in the normal way.

All came in.

Of course it is impossible to do nothing.

Let’s put other things aside for now.

"Director, I have objections to today's investigation results."

"Ok?"

Olga Marie frowned slightly.

"What objection do you have?"

"Isn't this a fact that meets Chaldea's needs in all aspects?"

"No." Ian shook his head.

"Director, other people may not know it, but I am different."

"For this matter... I cannot accept your explanation."

"..."

Olga Marie's expression became a little complicated.

She was silent for a while before she managed to say:

"What's unacceptable? I think it's quite reasonable."

"I've seen the survey results several times...there's nothing wrong with it."

"And you should have seen my incident report in the conference hall just now. Isn't it reasonable? Professor Leif's investigation was perfect."

"Time, evidence, prisoners, everything is there."

"That's what it looks like on the surface."

Ian looked directly at Olga Marie, who was wrapped in a coat.

"But Director, you should also know...there are many things that are unclear in logic."

"Isn't it a bit derelict to do something so hastily?"

You must know that the helicopter that went to pick up Fujimaru Ritsuka took off directly from Chaldea in Antarctica.

If it is true, as Olga Marie said, it was a "targeted attack" by an "outside organization."

Then this organization must not only be proficient in magic, but also must be aware of the existence of Chaldea, and also have a good understanding of the process of recruiting master candidates.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to know about the helicopter transfer, let alone to apply magic on it.

Is there such a possibility?

Indeed there is.

But the little one is pitiful.

In comparison, it is even better to just kill Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of the inspection car from the beginning.

and so--

A more precise possibility is that the helicopter was tampered with before it was sent out.

Going to the extreme, it might even be possible that the helicopter had already been enchanted as soon as Anderson reported back that he discovered Ritsuka Fujimaru in the city.

In any case, this is not something that should be explained clearly by "external organizations"!

Olga Marie was said to be a little guilty, but she still seemed to be worried about something.

She was silent for a moment and then spoke again.

"Ian, I know where you're coming from."

"But Professor Leif has been in Chaldea for more than ten years, and he is very serious about his position."

"I believe he will have no problem this time."

Ian shook his head - he wasn't going to back down.

"It's always been like this, isn't it?"

"Director, you should feel that the truth of the matter is not like this, right?"

"I……"

Olga Marie looked like she wanted to refute Ian's words, but her lips trembled for a long time and seemed to be stopped because of some unspeakable secret.

The young director didn't seem to be good at dealing with this kind of rhetorical question.

Her hand rubbed uneasily on the handle of the chair, and finally accidentally touched the romance novels hidden in her coat.

clap clap.

The sound of something falling echoed through the room.

Ian knew what it was.

Olga Marie knew what it was, too.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere became awkward again.

At this moment, Ian didn't know what to say.

Knowing that there is a pile of books hidden under the other party's coat, it is basically impossible to argue as hard as before.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to leave temporarily.

Just wait until Olga Marie is finished "busy" and come back.

"Director, I will come back to discuss this issue with you later."

"but--"

"Please make a distinction between reality and virtuality. Reading so much can easily affect your judgment."

"..."

Hearing this, Olga Marie's face instantly turned red - she knew that the other party already understood what was going on.

Ian expected her to have a very violent reaction.

But this is not the case.

I saw Olga Marie looking at the man in front of her, with a bit of helplessness in her eyes.

"Then Ian."

"In that case—"

"Can you please stop leaving and stay with me?"

"..."

If Olga Marie usually gives people the impression of being confident and resolute.

So the way she sits on the chair right now is completely opposite to her usual appearance.

Her body was trembling due to the impact of the romance novel, but there was no sign of enjoyment in her eyes. She was more like an office worker who was physically and mentally exhausted from mechanically executing some order.

This made her look spiritless and completely lacking the confidence that a Chaldean leader should have.

Ian realized something was wrong.

He has to stay.

"I understand."

"Since you said so, Director... I have to stay no matter what."
