Mash was panicking.
She had just finished bathing and changed her clothes when she was suddenly transferred as spiritrons.
This had never happened before. She hadn't even been given a chance to react.
Now, she had appeared inside a stranger's bathroom.
Considering the situation—and what she was currently wearing—it was practically the same as being completely exposed.
While she was still in shock—
Splash!
She lost her footing and fell straight into the bathtub, landing directly in Izumi's arms.
At that moment, Izumi was also speechless.
This was definitely something Alaya and Gaia had done.
The two of them were now in a rather awkward position.
As for what that looked like… well, one could imagine.
"Pwah!"
Mash resurfaced from the water, accidentally spitting out some bathwater.
Her face flushed bright red as she looked at him.
"S-Sorry!!"
Seeing her drenched appearance, Izumi couldn't help but smile.
"You're Mash Kyrielight, right?"
"Welcome to a new world."
"Don't worry. I'll take responsibility."
He said it with a completely serious expression.
Mash froze.
"H-Please don't joke like that!!"
"I-I'm not that kind of person!!"
Everything was happening too suddenly.
The transfer, the situation, and then those words—
Her mind was about to shut down.
Right now, she was extremely nervous.
After all, this handsome boy seemed to know her very well.
Izumi chuckled and spoke calmly.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
"First, let's get up. This is… not exactly appropriate."
"It is our first meeting, after all."
Hearing this, Mash glanced down—
And immediately jumped away in shock.
At the same time, Izumi stood up and projected a set of clothes onto himself.
He had no mood to continue bathing.
It was better to deal with this girl first.
He had not expected Alaya and Gaia to suddenly send Mash here.
After jumping away, Mash transformed into her combat outfit, shield in hand.
The two of them stared at each other.
The bathroom fell into silence.
Izumi broke it first.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Izumi."
"Welcome to the main Type-Moon world."
Mash blinked.
"The… main Type-Moon world?"
After a moment, she asked,
"Um… what exactly is going on?"
"Why did I suddenly appear here?"
"And what is this situation?"
She voiced all the confusion in her heart.
Izumi did not hide anything and explained.
"It was probably Alaya and Gaia who sent you."
"You work at Chaldea, right? Recently, haven't all Singularities disappeared?"
Mash nodded.
That was true.
All the Singularities and even the Lostbelts had vanished.
She had even thought she might lose her job—yet suddenly she was here.
Seeing this, Izumi smiled.
He began explaining the changes in the Type-Moon worlds.
To put it simply, most worlds had already merged.
Only the world of Chaldea remained separate.
It functioned as a kind of central hub that could travel between worlds.
Therefore, Alaya and Gaia had not merged it yet, allowing it to develop independently.
Now that Human Order was stabilized, Singularities were gone.
Chaldea had nothing left to do.
Mash being sent here was merely an accident.
After Izumi left, the two were already considering merging Chaldea into this world.
But instead, they sent Mash first.
Of course, Izumi didn't know all of this.
He was only explaining the current situation.
After hearing everything, Mash finally understood.
No wonder Chaldea was on break and the Heroic Spirits had all disappeared.
They had come here.
When he explained why she had arrived, Mash was stunned.
She couldn't understand why those two had chosen her.
Seeing her slightly airheaded expression, Izumi sighed.
"For now, you can stay here."
"That doctor probably won't be able to contact you for a while. Besides, they plan to merge Chaldea here eventually."
"You'll meet them again soon."
"Think of yourself as a pioneer."
Mash nodded.
That made sense.
Since the Singularities were gone, her disappearance likely wouldn't be noticed immediately.
If so, she might as well stay for now.
"Um… Izumi-senpai."
"Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much?"
This was what she was most curious about.
He knew far too much.
Izumi smiled mischievously.
"I'm a man who can reach the Root."
"In short, I'm amazing."
"Just don't fall in love with me."
Mash rolled her eyes in a cute manner.
That answered nothing at all.
By now, their conversation had attracted attention.
Illya, Chloe, and Miyu suddenly burst into the bathroom.
When they saw Izumi chatting happily with a girl holding a massive shield, they screamed.
"Eh?! Why is there another girl in the bathroom?!"
"Izumi-oniichan, who is she?!"
"Why is she here?!"
"This is way too much! Someone actually invaded our home?!"
"So unfair!!"
Their voices echoed through the house.
Soon, everyone else crowded at the door.
They stared blankly at the scene.
No one understood what was happening.
Izumi sighed helplessly.
Mash also felt extremely embarrassed.
After all, a man and woman chatting alone in a bathroom looked suspicious no matter how one saw it.
Mash quickly projected a simple dress.
Izumi turned and walked out.
"Change into this first."
"We'll talk later."
"Sella, prepare another room."
"This guest is from another world."
