"Where exactly did things go wrong?"
"I gave a conclusion, but I made a completely wrong prediction... Wouldn't my image in the eyes of humanity be completely ruined?"
The princess took a deep breath.
Princess is always right.
[The princess truly lives up to her reputation as the brilliant mind of Earth.]
Princess is humanity's savior.
Although she didn't care, such praise from humans was more in line with her status!
And... because of my confident but misjudgment, Ritsuka failed to save humanity due to her fear of seawater. Wouldn't that make me the true destroyer of humanity... the murderer who killed Fujimaru Ritsuka?
Or I could just go to the singularity in her place, and then...
No, it's not that easy.
"What collapsed? Hmm...chew~~"
Artoria, holding a hamburger in each hand, appeared behind me without my noticing.
"Do even the legendary star spirits have worries?"
"Eh... Ughhhhhh—!" I accidentally let out a sound.
Even Artoria was startled.
"What are you doing?!" Blackie glared at the princess with a menacing look, as if he were about to fight.
"Oh my, isn't this Miss Holy Sword Wielder? Is there something you need?"
With her hands clasped in front of her, a smile on her face that was as warm as a spring breeze, and her light gauze dress fluttering slightly... her demeanor suddenly changed, making her look like a noble princess.
"No, you just now—"
What do you mean?
"I meant what you just did..."
Hei Dai frowned slightly.
"What are you referring to, Miss Artoria?"
This guy...
Artoria's lips twitched.
Heh, you're trying to pull this on me, aren't you?
Then I'll show you what it means for a king to be ignorant of people's hearts.
"You're troubled, aren't you? It's strange, all the elves and half-elves I know are completely clueless about human emotions—yet you, the pinnacle of the True Ancestors, the highest-ranking Star Elf, the Earth princess qualified to become a Star Brain, are actually filled with human emotions..."
"what are you saying?"
"Let's speak frankly, Earth Princess..."
Artoria closed her eyes and pondered:
Let's have a proper talk...
Then she suddenly opened her eyes.
"You like Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka!"
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
The princess's smile froze.
If she were alone with Fujimaru Ritsuka, she could boldly and without hesitation launch an attack, but...
As she progressed through her time at Chaldea, she suddenly realized something—
She can't do anything!
There's nothing we can do!
Aside from being powerful... she's good for nothing.
She can't cook, can't use a computer, can't do housework... and even a cold-blooded animal like Artoria is surprisingly good at housework!
And I... feel like a lazy, good-for-nothing rich girl!
"The night before last, I saw you sneak into the kitchen and fry tempura all night long, and it was all burnt—"
""
"Then you seemed to try to learn how Kiyohime makes miso soup, smashing four plates and two bowls, crushing spoons and breaking several chopsticks."
""
"You've been following me?" The princess's smile grew even more stiff.
"No, I hadn't gone back to my room from the cafeteria yet."
So this guy spent the whole night in the cafeteria.
There's not much entertainment.
Chaldea is still under reconstruction, so there's not much to do for now. Once the equipment is operational on a large scale, everyone can start exploring the various minor singularities.
Artoria's confrontation made the princess somewhat flustered—
Human emotions... how could I possibly...?
However, even she herself didn't know that, in fact, as the Earth Princess, her personality would eventually become as cheerful and silly as that of the person in the other world line, Arcueid.
She did discover her own feelings, so she was somewhat afraid during this period and thus pretended to avoid them.
"Actually, you don't need to be anxious... Hehe... Think about it carefully, are there any humans around that Master?"
There are none.
They're all freaks.
So actually, the princess is the most normal one among this group.
"I'm thinking about Ritsuka... I want to be with her... That kind of thought shouldn't be strange, right?"
"not at all."
"That's good. Then I can boldly compete with Chaldea and reclaim my human [Fujimaru Ritsuka], right?"
"Um... what did you say?!"
"Isn't this just common sense?" The princess asked with a subtle expression.
"Ritsuka, she..."
"You were one of my people before you came to Chaldea, weren't you?"
"So, Chaldea is the one who stole the stars, right? That's good... Hmm... It'll be much easier once you understand that!"
I feel like this girl's princess-like demeanor is disappearing.
Ok? !
Artoria suddenly frowned.
Did she inadvertently awaken a terrifying beast that had locked itself in a cage?
However, the princess has indeed become more cheerful, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?
Meanwhile, Fujimaru Ritsuka warmed herself up and finally escaped the bone-chilling seawater, slowly exploring the island like a miniature island.
Dr. Roman pointed out that this anomaly was quite unique; some areas resembled tropical rainforests, while others were barren wastelands... The ocean currents and wind directions were also completely irregular, a blatant disregard for geography.
Then there is only one answer.
The Holy Grail: A chaotic world created through haphazard experimentation.
But where can one find the Holy Grail in this vast ocean?
Moreover... Fujimaru Ritsuka also felt somewhat guilty, wondering how she could possibly control her fear of the sea.
This is not an easy task.
"call..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath.
She patted her cheeks, trying to cheer herself up and appear normal.
Having just been weakened by the seawater, Fujimaru Ritsuka's senses were significantly diminished.
This is not good.
I've become too reliant on the princess's power.
After the power of the True Ancestor weakens, I am nothing. Is that really the case?
Damn it, pull yourself together, Fujimaru Ritsuka, there's no room for retreat here!
"Shh~~"
Kiyohime stopped.
"Quickly find a place to hide, there seems to be trouble ahead."
“It’s alright, I’ll read the Star Inscription.” Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly said.
"No, senior, you're not in a good state to use your abilities."
Mashu shook her head firmly: "Let's wait until you're feeling better before we talk about it."
Oh no, after hearing that.
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt somewhat awkward, realizing that she had become a burden.
Should we not rely too much on the abilities bestowed upon us by the princess, meaning we should deal with this crisis as ordinary Masters?
Just then, using the huge leaves of tall ferns to cover her body, Fujimaru Ritsuka discovered a wooden camp that looked simple but was quite large.
A faded, tattered skull flag was still flying above, and several burly men were laughing and raising their glasses in loud cheers.
"Oh my god, that was terrifying! That giant was so tall, it could even create huge waves with a simple flick of its wrist—I felt like it was going to fly away!"
"Luckily, I was quick-witted and fired right between that guy's legs, hahaha—"
"A pirate captain wearing a red turban said smugly."
"Keep bragging. Everyone knows you were clinging to the mast, crying and peeing your way to your mother—you were scared of those tiny waves? Pshaw."
Another pirate said dismissively.
"If it weren't for the eldest sister's decisive action, we would probably all have ended up in the sea to feed the sharks."
The red-turbaned pirate's face immediately turned red.
but.
Even so, being able to enter that battlefield is already a rare feat for a fine man.
After all, that monster had annihilated countless wandering forces and even claimed to be Poseidon, the god of the sea.
As a result, Drake, piloting the Golden Antlers, blasted the god with his mortal body.
Looking at the burly men who were rambling and bragging, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally confirmed the professions of the group of guys in front of her.
---pirate.
While not as memorable as Captain Jack Sparrow in the movies, their casual attire and unique free-spirited atmosphere... could only be embodied by pirates of that bygone era.
“Ritsuka...you are currently on a pirate island,” Dr. Roman said.
His expression was grave: "According to the observations from Sheba, there is at least one Servant with a Spirit Origin in that pirate base. However, there is no hostile reaction, so you can try to make contact."
Dr. Roman interlaced his fingers, becoming somewhat awkward.
However, when he saw the green-haired man approaching and greeting him, he completely lost his composure.
"Abisha! You must be Abisha!"
"Beautiful ladies, welcome! Would you like to join me for dinner...?"
It's you, ghost!
