"Reflect on your actions? Are you really doing that?"
"It really is! So let me get up and go back to France, I still have singularities to deal with."
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hands in surrender as if she had failed.
"Oh~~"
The princess's expression became somewhat subtle. "So, in other words, saving humanity is more important than me?"
"of course not."
"So that means I'm more important than human reason, right?"
"That's not the case either."
Fujimaru Ritsuka pursed her lips, looked directly into the princess's eyes, and after a long while, finally managed to squeeze out the words from the bottom of her heart.
“I don’t want humanity to perish, so I must resolve the Singularity of the Magic King and reclaim humanity’s history. But I also don’t want you to leave me; you are just as important to me.”
"So, after I take everything back, shall we find a fun place to go and have some fun together? Let me show you the wonders of humankind."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said this.
"Is it just the two of us?"
It seemed that this was the first time the girl from another planet had experienced such an invitation. She seemed somewhat tempted; since it was Ritsuka's invitation, she was naturally quite happy.
So she slowly said, "If it's just the two of us, it's not that I can't come with you... hmm?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's hesitant expression caught her attention. It was as if she wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it.
"What's wrong, Ritsuka? You brought this up yourself... Don't make me unhappy with that expression."
"nothing..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek a little shyly, her eyes darting away sheepishly. "But, could we bring Mash and the Director along... Oh, and my Chaldea and Artoria too, everyone together..."
As her face gradually resembled Gudako's and her mind began to wander with numerous fantasies, Fujimaru Ritsuka started rambling on and on—this expression made the princess, who had just calmed down, feel the emotion called "anger" again.
"Excellent, go to hell!"
For the first time, the girl smiled and uttered a sound of angry reproach!
"Let me show you one more time—celestial magic."
The princess declared her death to the shrewish Fujimaru Ritsuka.
—Celestial magic?!
Gazing at the azure night sky and the bright full moon, the enormous moon in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes grew larger and larger.
No matter what, the moon falling down can't be called magic, okay?
Wait!
Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others widened their eyes.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
I understand now! I understand now!
I now know how to perform the great magic trick that Director Olga Marie spoke of: "Humanity protects the celestial sphere"!
Using the illusion to materialize a giant celestial body for a fall, there is no need to set an orbit or use a star map as an anchor point. Instead, it can be directly summoned and guided to the designated location for a fall using astronomical magic!
In this way, even someone like myself who knows absolutely nothing about magic can unleash a theoretically great magic trick, like the princess's falling moon.
Although it's somewhat unlikely that the moon will materialize.
But surely there shouldn't be any problem manifesting a meteorite or a large rock, right?
The extent of the damage will be determined by Newton!
Ah... how... how—
boom!
The moon has once again blasted itself out of the ancient city!
Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her eyes from her sleep.
At this moment, the night was deep and the wind was mournful.
A blazing halo hung in the sky, and through the latticed windows of Vaucouleur Castle, one could see the flames that brought despair to the world.
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not feel despair.
She gently flipped over the blue stone bricks, tumbled down from the city wall, and landed lightly on the soft soil.
The chirping of insects and cicadas could be heard from time to time.
"I see. I'm back in Vokullar. Judging from the looks of it, I must have slept all afternoon."
"To be precise, it was an afternoon and an evening."
The voice came from behind, and just by listening to its pleasant tone, one could feel its gentle and virtuous nature.
A very cute girl, wearing a light green kimono, a female Heroic Spirit holding a folding fan. Although her class is Berserker, she is unusually rational.
Full of rationality...?
Fujimaru Ritsuka had seen her when she was in a rage.
That was when Elizabeth was singing passionately, and in a fit of rage she transformed into a dragon covered in flames, and then turned everything to ashes.
"I didn't realize I had slept for so long."
"Don't worry, I've prepared a delicious wild vegetable soup to help you recover. However, please forgive me as there aren't many good ingredients here due to the war."
"Oh, is that so?" Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and thanked the girl as she gently brought over the wooden bowl, which was still steaming. "By the way, aren't you going to find [Anzhen]? Although I don't think that person will appear in the singularity, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you for your blessing."
The girl bowed slightly in greeting.
Then, just as Fujimaru Ritsuka brought the wooden bowl to her lips and drank it all in one gulp...
The lovely girl tilted her head slightly, the shadow of her green hair covering half of her face.
"It's okay, because..."
Kiyohime revealed a subtle smile.
"It's been found."
Chapter 46 The Final Battle: The Sea Demon and its Derivatives!
The sun did not rise that day. As the last warm scenes of the night passed, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the twinkling stars.
"Ritsuka-chan, according to Sheba's observations, a large number of anomalous life forms have been detected in the northern plains of Orleans, along with a massive energy reaction. These creatures are heading in this direction, and based on current estimates... they'll appear in the town of Vokulir in about half an hour!"
Dr. Roman's voice came through the communicator: "It's probably an evil summon called the Sea Demon, said to be a minion of evil spirits!"
Gilles de Rais will not let this go easily, because of Jeanne d'Arc Alter's defeat and the failure of the Demon Pillars... he will definitely find a way to retaliate.
After his plot to destroy France through the Demon Pillars failed, he seemed to have chosen a new method. However, not long after, a terrifying life form appeared in the north.
"Is it finally coming... Gilles de Rais, the one who created the singularity of [Jeanne d'Arc Alter]."
As Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the sky, she stroked the broken blue bricks on the Vokuler city wall.
"Don't worry about Lin Yiji ImX dying Q*UN. Before, that shiny lizard stole the spotlight from the lively [Delicious] scene. This time, I will perform well and try to leave a good impression on Master [Ansei]."
Kiyohime said, holding her fan.
"Who's the lizard, you Japanese viper!"
Elizabeth stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Kiyohime with narrowed eyes and said angrily.
"How dare you call me a viper? I am a dragon, a dragon! Honestly, there's no reasoning with such an ill-mannered dragon."
"Hmph, I don't want to hear anything from you, you dreamless, lazy bum. You're the enemy of idols, Eliza will never forgive you! I have Little Deer, that's enough."
"Heh...you really dare to say that. You were the one who bothered others first, weren't you? Be careful, or I'll burn you alive, you shameless winged creature." Kiyohime seemed to be plotting how to turn Elizabeth into an Orleans-style roasted wing.
Two little dragons – [The Roar of the Evil Dragon].
(Note: But speaking of which, I still prefer Bi Xiu Nei. He's big, capable, and a natural-born workhorse.)
Mozart covered his ears in bewilderment.
—As a natural musician, he is quite sensitive to noise.
"Senior, please stop their fight!" Mashu said anxiously. "The enemy is coming soon. Although we don't know what methods Gilles de Rais is using, now is not the time for infighting among comrades..."
No, that's not true.
Only arguments like these are a sign of a good relationship.
If it were truly an internal conflict, Kiyohime would already be preparing to unleash her [Samadhi True Fire], and she and the Dragon Girl would probably be singing...
"You wretched creature! I'll burn you into dragon meat!" [Turns around and unleashes a burst of fiery energy]
"No way! My idol power shines brighter than your flames!"
Kiyohime waved a folding fan in her hand and flames erupted from her body.
Elizabeth Night was equally determined to prepare to sing.
Bang!
Queen Mary walked happily to the front of the crowd and then gently tapped the two men on the head!
Red bumps swelled up on the foreheads of both dragons.
However, after this commotion, the overall atmosphere seemed to soften considerably.
Until Joan of Arc appeared before everyone, holding the holy banner.
Everyone knew that the final battle was about to begin.
In theory, Gilles de Rais only has one Heroic Spirit, so defeating him would be simple—but all of this depends on one thing: that he doesn't have that terrible Book of the Annihilation City.
The text is said to contain indescribable scriptures, and just reading it can drive one insane. This may be one of the reasons why Marshal Gilles became the Mad Bluebeard.
"Everyone, I am aware of the situation."
"Perhaps this is the final battle? After this battle, the anomaly of this singularity will disappear, and we won't even have any memories of this appearance."
"but!"
The saint raised the banner, which shone with divine light, and swept it across everyone's faces as she held it aloft.
"I will forever remember this moment. I am so honored to have fought alongside you all! This nation, this world, will rise again because of your efforts... So, for the sake of the Master beyond, for the sake of reclaiming humanity's future..."
"ViveLaFrance!"
Queen Mary, speaking out of turn, said the most appropriate thing, her face beaming with a lovely expression and a gentle smile, like sparkling crystal.
Is this what they call innate temperament?
Joan of Arc paused for a moment, then nodded.
"That's right, ViveLaFrance!"
Freedom, revolution, will.
Well, although it's not exactly a good word for royalty, it is a shining light that guides people to rebel against fate and create their own path.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's nose twitched slightly.
Not long after.
A bloody stench permeated the air.
The smell of fresh human blood permeated the air, mixed with a hint of the sea, making one want to vomit.
"Cough...cough cough cough...this smell—"
Mashu covered her mouth and nose. When she smelled the blood, the shield-wielding girl felt a suffocating and uncomfortable sensation in her chest, and her amethyst-like eyes darkened and deepened.
"Are you alright, Mashu?"
"Senior, I'm fine... I just feel a little nauseous."
"I understand. Just focus on defense and leave the rest to us."
Fujimaru Ritsuka patted Mash on the shoulder to comfort her.
