The Weekend! And Then Monday Rolls Around Again

...I see. Then we'll proceed to the next phase of the operation.

Of course. We need her to disappear.

...No matter what.

Now get to work, ■■■■■■.

Oh, it's you. Are you all rested now?

？！

Good. I am glad to hear it.

You know, I am very satisfied with both your work as my assistant, and as my outsourcing contact.

I will have to find a suitable reward for your excellent service.

In the meantime, you are free to make use of the Great Amazones Hot Spring Story as much as you like.

？！

We still have yet to receive any word from Secret Assassin Inc. Still, there is nothing to be gained from getting restless, so I won't.

Thanks to all of your hard work, the order backlog that was our top priority has finally been taken care of.

We will still need to process orders as usual when new ones come in, but I have every faith that Chaldea can continue to handle that.

So now that we have more time and Servant resources to spare...

...I would like to divert some of the workforce we were previously forced to have on deliveries towards investigating my employees' disappearance.

From there, I think it is just a matter of time before we have another lead or two to follow.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But, unfortunately...

We've got a new problem now!

We have a new problem now!

Fou!?

？！

Well, I guess it's two problems, since Mash and I are actually talking about different ones, though they are connected.

Anyway, why don't you go ahead and start with yours, Mash?

Okay. Speaking in my capacity as one of Amazones.com's provisional office workers...

...I have to report that we just received multiple orders with premium express shipping.

Oh? That sounds like the furthest thing from a problem.

Fifty, to be precise.

We just received fifty premium express orders that all need to be delivered with the highest priority!

What!?

All right, yes, that is a problem. It would seem we do not have any resources to spare after all.

Of course, we still have our other, standard deliveries to make.

I will just have to be flexible about diverting the resources I thought I could spare to these orders.

Well, for better or worse, there's something else unusual about all these orders.

It looks like all fifty of them were ordered from the same building.

？！

That gets to the problem I was talking about, so I'll take it from here.

These orders all came from the coordinates of the new minute Singularity I just discovered.

Fou!?

But yes, there is something weird about it.

While I did just discover it, I also get the impression that it didn't pop up out of nowhere just now.

It feels more like it showed up a little while ago, and we only just noticed it.

Man, what's going on? We'd usually never miss a new Singularity, no matter how minute it might be. Does this mean we were slacking off more than we realized? Or maybe

I see. So we have received an unnatural number of difficult-to-fulfill orders from inside a Singularity, and just when we had finally caught our collective breath.

Does it not seem as though whoever made these orders did so in order to watch us scurry around like frenzied ants?

Or that this customer is most likely the one who abducted my employees, and is now attempting to attack us directly!?

It's definitely possible. This many premium orders all at once just doesn't add up, so it does feel like there's some ulterior motive at work.

So what are you going to do now?

What else? If they wish to attack us, we will face them head-on and crush them! That is the Amazones way!

Come! Break time is now over! Off to battle!

Um, since this was clearly designed to upset you, maybe you should try to look out for traps and Huh? Ms. CEO, wait!

Well, it does look like this presumed mastermind is taking a much more direct approach now, especially since they've been so good about covering their tracks to this point.

I can't blame an Amazon among Amazons for not being able to take this lying down.

Looks like you'll just have to go after her as soon as you're ready to leave, Fujimaru.

But you don't have to be a hero. Just scoping out what this new Singularity is like and reporting back will do just fine.

Basically, just be careful out there!

Grrr! Where is it... Where is it!?

She's more like an enraged wild animal than a person right now...

The only thing stranger is how she's still holding on to the very first packages she brought along just in case as though they're the most precious thing in the world.

Okay, you're almost at the coordinates... Hm? Is that the place?

What is that thing!?

What in the world is going on with that strange building!?

Yeesh. Talk about poorly planned architecture.

Though I do get the sense I've seen something else like it before, albeit one that was more Japan-themed.

Still, whoever designed this thing has incredibly poor taste. As a beautiful genius inventor, it's taking everything I have not to rattle off all the ways it falls short despite being so tall.

I just took some quick and dirty external measurements, and it looks like it has fifty stories in total.

Taking a closer look at the orders, it seems that every package is marked between 1F and 50F...

...so I think it's safe to assume that we're going to have to deliver one to each floor of this building.

I guess we won't know whether that will make our job easier or more difficult until we go inside.

Though you know, between the way this tower feels coerced into pointing straight up, and the way it's balanced like something out of an optical illusion...

I can't say I don't care for it. In fact, I'm even willing to award it BP!

...

Wh-what's wrong? Don't tell me I can't even say "BP" anymore?

These are...temples. Temples that have been stacked on top of one another to make a tower.

Yup. Looks like something straight out of ancient Greece, minus the whole fifty-decker thing.

Does that mean this is a place of worship?

I think so. And if I were to guess... I would say these temples are devoted to Artemis.

？！

Fou, fooou.

Come to think of it, there were a few Servants we weren't able to get ahold of, even back when we put out the call asking everyone to pitch in with these deliveries.

And Artemis was one of them.

At the time, I just figured they didn't want to bother with menial labor, but now, I'm not so sure...

Either way, we will not find out until we go inside. And if there are customers waiting on each floor, we have even less reason to refuse.

Whether this is an attack, a form of harassment, or a trap, we still have packages that must be delivered.

Once our job is complete, that is when we will obliterate this foe!

So in other words, it's still business as usual?

Indeed. I can already tell that making our way through this tower will be neither easy nor straightforward.

There may well be trials and tribulations as arduous as those we have seen during past deliveries awaiting our workers on each and every floor.

So along with carrying out our usual workload, we will also need to pay close attention to our personnel's well-being.

All right, let's go! Our short-term goal is to conquer this temple tower, and of course, to do so ASAP!

...I see. Then we'll proceed to the next phase of the operation.

Of course. We need her to disappear.

...No matter what.
