Type-Moon: I! The Magic King! Am going to marry Tiamat!

Ma En reached out and ruffled her pink hair, laughing, "You're the first person I've met here and spoken to like this. And our names are so similar, it must be some kind of fate."

"So, let's just get to know each other as relatives."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement. From now on, I'll be your parent. If you encounter any trouble in Chaldea, remember to call my name, and I'll protect you."

Marx and Engels swiftly and decisively established their relationship on the spot.

Mashu slowly came to her senses and stared blankly at Marne, who was smiling brightly.

"Parents, family members."

These were things she thought were destined to be hers, but now she suddenly had them, leaving her somewhat bewildered and apprehensive.

So she subconsciously took a step back, shook her head and said, "Wait, I haven't agreed yet. Shouldn't this kind of thing require the consent of both parties?"

"But you did refuse, didn't you?"

"But I didn't agree!"

Mashu suddenly retorted loudly, then panicked a little, feeling that it was rude to shout at someone so loudly, but she didn't know how to explain it.

So she turned around and ran out of the room.

Ma En watched her leave with amusement, seemingly in no hurry, and began to count silently in his mind.

three!

two!

One!

Tap tap tap~

A series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, and Mashu reappeared outside the door.

The girl stared longingly at the things in Ma En's hands: "Please give them back to me. Some of them aren't yours; I need to deliver them to other people."

She was in such a hurry to escape that she almost forgot her mission and left her things with Ma En.

"Here you go." En didn't make things difficult for her and obediently handed over the things.

Mashu quickly sorted through the items, handed them to Marne, and then hurriedly left.

She hadn't taken more than two steps when she stopped again. She looked at the room number next to her, then at Ma En, who was standing right next to her in the doorway watching her. She was incredibly embarrassed.

But she managed to suppress her embarrassment, pressed the doorbell, and Weber came out.

He glanced at Ma En, who was watching the show with a smile next door, and then at the embarrassed girl in front of him.

"What's wrong...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Mashu shoved his identification and other documents into his hand and then hurriedly ran away without saying a word.

Yes, this time he's really gone.

"..."

Weber looked at Marne with a blank expression: "What's going on?"

Marne smiled and shrugged, offering no further explanation. He turned and went back into his room, closing the door and leaving Weber bewildered.

I met Little Eggplant on my first day in Chaldea, which was a good thing, and I had a very pleasant time with her.

This improved Marne's mood considerably, as he had been somewhat annoyed by Weber.

Looking at the uniform, work ID, and wristband terminal that Mashu had given him, Ma En picked up the clothes and tried them on.

The clothes fit well, a uniform light blue men's shirt with a black jacket on top—the same style worn by the staff.

Ma En immediately threw his coat into the corner with disgust, not knowing how to even begin to criticize the person who designed this uniform.

The lining is beautifully designed, but adding this coat to distinguish the job makes it look awful.

He casually constructed a black lab coat, and upon putting it on, he realized it was almost identical to Dr. Roman's. Only then did Ma En nod in satisfaction.

Is this outfit appropriate?

Maren couldn't be bothered with it anymore. Didn't you see that Rafe wasn't wearing a uniform either? He was an advisor, a high-level executive, so what if he dressed differently from others? Wasn't that a better way to distinguish him?

As Ma En was thinking this, the terminal he had just put on his hand rang, indicating an incoming communication request.

"Who would contact me at this time?" En wondered, and answered the call.

"Hello, you must be Consultant Ma En, right? I just saw your file, which says you specialize in Heroic Spirit research. I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Could you please come over here?"

Upon seeing that it was a job, Ma En quickly replied, "Okay, give me a location, preferably with a map, as I'm new here and don't know the way very well yet."

"OK, wait."

Marne waited a while, collected the location and map, and went out to begin his first task upon arriving in Chaldea.

Chapter 189 Da Vinci: Xiu, you should change your name to Matthew?

Ma En arrived at a workshop based on the address, and before he even entered, he saw the pink-haired girl who had run away earlier.

The girl opposite felt awkward when she saw Ma En; she hadn't expected to run into him again so soon.

Ma En smiled and waved, saying, "Oh, what a coincidence, my daughter, you're here too."

"I'm not your daughter! You haven't agreed yet, don't just randomly claim kinship with me," Xiu retorted helplessly.

Just then, the workshop door opened automatically, and a pretty young woman with black hair and blue eyes emerged. She looked at the two of them with a somewhat strange expression and asked, "You two already know each other?"

Mashu was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it. She was a little ashamed to talk about this with others.

Ma En replied straightforwardly, "She was the one who brought me the supplies just now. We hit it off immediately and became family on the spot. Now she's my daughter."

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up and flashed a hearty smile, the kind that reveals a set of sparkling white teeth.

The pretty, mature woman suddenly realized, and then smiled at Mash, saying, "Naruhodo, that's really great, Mash, oh no, should I call you Matthew now?"

"I haven't agreed yet! He just took it upon himself to name me, Da Vinci-san, don't be so serious about changing my name!" Xiu couldn't help but retort.

However, the two of them tacitly ignored her reaction and instead looked at each other.

Da Vinci spoke first: "Hello, Advisor Marx and Eng. I'm so sorry to have called you here before I've even had a chance to get familiar with the environment since I just took office."

He extended his hand to Ma En, who returned the gesture, saying, "It's nothing, just my duty."

He then looked her up and down and asked in confusion, "She just called you Leonardo da Vinci? But you look more like Mona Lisa to me."

"Oh my, Consultant Maren is really knowledgeable. That's right, this body was indeed made based on the Mona Lisa. What do you think? It's absolutely perfect, isn't it?"

"It is indeed very beautiful, but when I think about the fact that it's Wenxi, a man, inside, it just feels a bit strange."

"Gender doesn't matter, but what's this special name for Wenxi?"

"Well, I'm from China. In our area, your name was originally transliterated as Leonardo da Vinci."

"I see, Vincent. That sounds pretty good. Anyway, let's come in. Matthew too."

"I already told you! You're just randomly changing my name!"

Despite Mashu's protests, the three of them entered the workshop.

This was clearly Leonardo da Vinci's personal studio, filled with many strange and unusual things. Maren looked around, then turned his gaze back to da Vinci.

"So, Wenxi, you called me over here saying you wanted to ask me some questions, but I don't know what they are."

Having said that, Ma En glanced at Mashu beside him and had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

This look caught Leonardo da Vinci's eye, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of a professional, you have a sharp eye. You can tell at a glance that this child is no ordinary person."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Mashu, who was pursing her lips, was slightly taken aback and looked at Maren with some confusion.

Ma En smiled and said, "Of course. Although the aura of heroic spirits is relatively shallow and well-hidden, if I couldn't detect it even after close contact, then I wouldn't be able to survive."

Mashu opened her mouth, wanting to ask Maren what he had noticed and what he knew, but she hesitated. After all, the two big shots were talking about serious matters, and it would be inappropriate for her to interrupt rashly.

At this point, Ma En continued, "However, this is the first time I've encountered someone in this state. She's clearly human, yet she possesses the aura of a heroic spirit."

Mashu was startled by what she heard. She hadn't expected that Maren would know this, and she immediately became a little uneasy.

Although she hadn't agreed yet, Mashu was still very happy that Maren treated her like a living person.

So she was a little scared, afraid that once Maren knew the truth, he would change his opinion of her, just like everyone else, and treat her like an object again.

Thinking this, Mashu quickly looked at Da Vinci, hoping that the other party would not tell Marne the truth.

Da Vinci noticed Mashu's pleading eyes and hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak.

She didn't think Maren was like those traditional magicians, so she figured it wouldn't be a problem to tell him. Besides, Maren's position was as a Heroic Spirit Advisor, and he would inevitably come into contact with these things sooner or later, so it was better to be honest than to keep it a secret.

"That's right, this child is a fusion of a Heroic Spirit and a Demi-Servant..."

Under Mashu's horrified gaze, Da Vinci explained Mashu's background and experiences to Marne, then looked at Marne somewhat nervously, waiting for his reaction.

"This is really..."

Mashu closed her eyes in fear, unable to bear seeing Ma's current expression, afraid of witnessing that familiar indifference.

"This is outrageous! How could you do this!"

"Ugh?!"

Hearing these angry words, Mashu opened her eyes in a daze and saw Maren with an angry expression.

Having observed others frequently, she could tell that this wasn't just simple anger, but more of an empathy and indignation stemming from being angry for others.

This person genuinely cares about her.

Upon seeing this, Mashu was completely stunned.

Ma En stepped forward and hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, sweetie. I'm here now. No one can hurt my daughter anymore. Dad will protect you. If anyone bullies you, Dad will stand up for you."

...

Mashu felt a sense of relief, but then she realized what was happening and quickly pushed Maren away, blushing as she cried out, "What do you mean, 'Dad' or 'father'? I never promised you that! I'm not your daughter!"

"Hahaha, isn't this perfect? ​​Mashu, why don't you just agree to it?"

Da Vinci, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this and laughed, teasing him.

"Da Vinci-san!" Xiu glared angrily at the troublemaker, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Oh, our daughter is shy," Enye teased with a smile.
