Chaldea was going to hold a celebration banquet. When they heard the news, the employees of Chaldea were excited for a long time.
Chaldea was a magic institution, but its personnel were not all magicians. On the contrary, in addition to the 47 masters used for spirit particle crossing, many of the staff of Chaldea were ordinary people who had nothing to do with magic. Some of them were engineers, some were programmers, and some were pilots and astronauts. Almost all of them were talents in science and technology.
And these people were not uninvited, they were the industry elites that the old director had collected from all over the world.
It had to be said that compared to those mean and old-fashioned magicians who only knew how to build a car behind closed doors, the old director of Chaldea was really a very powerful person. He did not look down on the science and technology of ordinary people because of his identity as a magician. Instead, he kept pace with the times, treated science with the attitude of studying magic, and almost perfectly integrated magic and science, and then there was the current Chaldea.
Therefore, there were many ordinary people in Chaldea who had nothing to do with magic.
After they were recruited by the old director from all over the world, they had been staying here, promoting the development of Chaldea. The one with the longest working age had even exceeded ten years. Chaldea's current achievements were inseparable from their efforts.
However, since the death of the old director, the old director's daughter, Olga Marie, took over as the leader of Chaldea, and the atmosphere of Chaldea gradually began to become tense.
Firstly, Olga Marie was too young. She didn't have the old director's knowledge and experience, and her talent in magic wasn't that outstanding. As a young girl who hadn't even left school, people would naturally look down on her.
Secondly, she was the target of comparison. Although there was no direct competition, as a magus, most people couldn't help but compare Olga Marie with the 47 masters. After all, she was the daughter of a monarch. Olga Marie wasn't at the bottom of the list like Naruto. She was still at the top, but … compared to the seven masters in Group A, she seemed to be overshadowed.
If she was just an ordinary magician, it wouldn't be a big deal. But as the leader of Chaldea, and the old director was such an excellent person, she was naturally not reliable, so most of Chaldea's employees felt that she couldn't do it.
To be honest, with Olga Marie's age, it was indeed difficult for her to lead such a magic organization. She shouldn't have high expectations in the first place. As long as she made fewer mistakes, she would be qualified. However, since she was in this position, she naturally had to bear the corresponding responsibilities and doubts.
Therefore, under such responsibilities and doubts, Olga Marie continued to force herself. Her spirit fell into extreme pressure, and Chaldea fell into a state of tension and seriousness. This development was obviously not healthy.
Then, there would be a chance for Lev to take advantage of the situation.
Olga Marie did not realize the problem until Lev's betrayal, but after that incident, her mentality changed slightly. She no longer forced herself and tried to rely on others. As her style of doing things changed, she gradually relaxed.
So, when Roman asked her to hold a celebration banquet, she quickly agreed.
Even Roman was surprised. According to his previous understanding of Olga Marie, she would not hesitate to refuse and reprimand him. "Chaldea is already so busy, how can we have time to hold a celebration banquet?"
But now she replied, "It's probably necessary to balance work and rest."
When the news came out, those Chaldea employees who had doubts about her could not help but slightly change their opinion. They thought: the director may not be so bad.
So, the Chaldea employees got the opportunity to relax and have a chance to breathe under heavy pressure. Olga Marie's evaluation as the director also slightly improved.
For such a change, Tang Hao saw it with his eyes and ears, but he was not in the mood to feel it. He just felt that the pressure from Olga Marie and the staff of Chaldea were all concentrated on him.
At the celebration banquet, in front of everyone, he called Yu Ji his wife a hundred times.
That was how he accepted it at the time, and he swore that he would fight the idiotic netizens to the bitter end. But just as Hui Ye had said, this was just a moment of passion. It was just like how many people would activate an unlimited Alipay system because they had drawn a card that would sink the ship. Then, when they finished drawing and opened their Alipay account, they would instantly enter Sage Mode.
At this moment, Tang Hao was in such a similar state.
He had stage fright.
He couldn't help but have stage fright.
For example, if you were asked to shout 'I like you' a hundred times in front of all the teachers and students in school, how many people would have the courage to do so?
At least, Tang Hao didn't think he had such courage … Or rather, it was simply a shameful thing to do!
It was both chuunibyou and awkward. Whenever he thought of that scene, he felt his scalp go numb.
In contrast, even Gaitia didn't give him so much pressure.
Sure enough, for an innocent and virgin otaku, confessing was the most difficult thing in the world!
What should I do?
Tang Hao sat alone in the corner, scratching his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't think of any ideas.
"Ancestor Tang Hao, so you are here." At this moment, Mashu's figure rushed over and smiled. "The banquet is about to begin. Why are you alone in this place?"
"Fu — Fu!"
A white beast climbed onto Mashu's shoulder, cried softly twice, and then jumped onto Tang Hao's body, stretched out its claws and gently scratched his face.
"Stop it …"
Tang Hao pulled Fou's claws away and looked up at Mashu with a dying expression. "That … Is the banquet about to begin? Isn't it a little early? "
"It's not early, it's already six o 'clock. Originally, everyone had dinner at this time, but because the banquet was held in a hurry, it was delayed until now …" Mashu said. "In fact, it's all thanks to you. If you didn't get the supplies from your friend, I'm afraid we would be busy until midnight."
The food needed for the celebration banquet was prepared by Amethyst and the others … How could Amethyst prepare food?
Tang Hao secretly scolded in his heart. Things had come to this point. For Amethyst who forced him to this point, he had nothing to be afraid of. Old woman! Old thing! Shameless bastard! He could scold her as much as he wanted, at least he could vent a little.
"Is that so … I see. That … is everyone here?"
"Almost everyone is here." Mashu nodded. "But after all, Chaldea can't be left unguarded. After all, facing the threat of the destruction of humanity, we can't be careless in any case. So there are still some old employees staying in their posts, saying that they are not interested in the banquet, so they gave the opportunity to the young people."
"How could they not be interested? Those guys are super interested …" Tang Hao muttered, his words seemingly hinting at something.
The conversation between the two was not on the same channel, but Mashu still nodded. "Well, I also think they are interested, but they can't relax because of their duties. But we sent them a lot of food, and Chaldea's projection technology is also very good. Even if they are not there, they can see the whole banquet through the screen."
"That is to say, I still have to be publicly executed under the eyes of all the Chaldea members?"
"Huh? What did you say? "
"Nothing, I mean, in fact, you don't have to be so anxious …"
"But the banquet is about to start, and we are waiting for you. Let's hurry up." Mashu took the initiative to pull Tang Hao's arm.
Tang Hao followed her step by step, and the expression on his face was like a death row prisoner entering the execution ground. "Really, there is no need to be so anxious … Fou, am I right?"
"Fu — Fu!"
"You see, Mashu, Foeve said I was right.
However, as soon as Tang Hao finished speaking, Fou ran forward quickly.
"It seems that Fou is also very anxious." Mashu laughed.
"…"
Ah, forget it. In any case, it's still the same if I stick my head out.
Tang Hao looked at the sky and let Mashu drag him.
After a while, the two came to the banquet hall. As Mashu said, nearly 90% of Chaldea's people had gathered here. In addition to familiar faces like Olga Marie, Roman, and Da Vinci, there were also many unfamiliar faces.
Tang Hao searched in the crowd and soon found Yu Ji.
She was sitting in the corner of the banquet hall, dressed like a young girl. Although there was no serious and cold atmosphere, her face seemed to say "Strangers do not come near". No one dared to come within three meters of her, so her sense of existence was particularly obvious.
She always felt that her mentality of not being noticed was counterproductive because of her temperament, which made it easier for her to become the focus of attention.
"Why are you so slow!" Olga Marie put her hands on her waist and shouted at Tang Hao and Mashu who were late. Although her mentality had changed, her appearance was still strong.
Tang Hao raised his head and glanced at her, then quickly rolled his eyes.
Ah, director, although you are the worst in Chaldea, I don't have the mood to complain about you anymore.
"Well, is the show about to begin? Then let's go on stage. "
At this moment, Amethyst's demonic voice sounded in Tang Hao's ears.
"You are the organizer of the banquet. Everyone should want to hear you speak, so take advantage of the time of the speech and shout."
Shout what?
Tiger, get up?
Tang Hao rolled his eyes … To be honest, he would rather shout a hundred times, tiger, get up!
