What does it feel like to drown?
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know... In other words, at this point, she had no way to figure out what she was feeling right now.
Uncomfortable...
Can't breathe and have difficulty moving...
I can only struggle, struggle desperately, and dare not open my mouth to shout, because that will drink more water.
but--
Consciousness is already disappearing.
Hideo Kurokawa is dead, wiped out in anger, and obliterated.
There is no doubt that at the place where Hideo Kurokawa died, Hideo Kurokawa's huge body shattered into pieces, and a Holy Grail appeared on the spot, slowly floating in the air.
"We won! - But, where is the Master?"
Hoshikuma Yukina smiled excitedly, but then she noticed.
Fujimaru Ritsuka disappeared.
Moreover, the sense of contract between himself and Fujimaru Ritsuka is weakening little by little.
The black Yukina and the mother bear were undoubtedly in panic, and they began to search for Fujimaru Ritsuka in the lake.
"You will survive."
"In other words, you won't die."
Snapped.
One hand grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Because this is not a singularity."
"It's not even reality here."
"You will not die because the conditions for death simply do not exist."
Even though he was underwater, the sound rang clearly in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears.
who is it......
Fujimaru Ritsuka's consciousness was blurred and she couldn't see anything clearly.
Is anyone here...
She unconsciously grasped the hand that held her, and her other hand and her whole body naturally fell towards the bottom of the water.
Buzz——
The Holy Grail vibrated.
Buzz————
The vibration frequency of the Holy Grail became a little louder.
The sky became as dull as flying sand and rocks.
"What--!?"
Hoshikuma Yukina sensed something was wrong, so she could only stretch out her hand, as if she wanted to swat the Holy Grail away.
but--
The world became quiet.
A shadow stood in the center of the lake, standing directly under the Holy Grail. Except for the first time, there was no one else here, no one.
There were no Samura, Ryoma, Takasugi, Soina, or people from the Mibu Police Station standing by the lake. There were no Hoshikuma Yukina and Otsuyao standing in the lake, and there was no Fujimaru Ritsuka in the water.
The fire is burning.
The rain was pouring heavily.
The figure seemed to have been standing there a long time ago.
It's like nothing happened here.
...
"ah----"
Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a terrified scream.
"well?"
After screaming, she froze.
She sat on the ground, raised her head and looked around.
Where...are you?
Using her arms to support herself and standing up from the ground, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a sense of powerlessness.
"what happened......"
It feels like I'm drowning...
So now this is….
"Has the spirit transfer been successful?"
"Where is Miss Lawrence?"
She walked out of the woods, holding on to the trunk of a tree and looking into the distance.
There, it looked like a village, with smoke curling up from the cooking pots, quiet and peaceful.
...
"Let's sort out the current situation first."
Fujimaru Ritsuka did not approach the village immediately, but returned to the woods where he woke up, sat down cross-legged, and began to think.
"The transfer of the spirit son should have been successful, but an accident occurred. My specific location is not clear now. The communication with Chaldea was disconnected and temporarily unreachable. Miss Lawrence does not know whether the transfer of the spirit son failed or whether it was because of the failure of the spirit son transfer.
Lost from me..."
"And this is the only way I can protect myself."
Fujimaru Ritsuka took out the simple version of the divine seal and placed it in front of him.
What kind of start is this?
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his head.
The communication between the spirit son transfer and Chaldea was disconnected before.
I had also been separated from Miss Lawrence during the spirit transfer before.
But generally speaking, only one situation will happen, and both situations will happen at the same time. This is the first time...
Isn’t it a little too difficult to conduct an investigation by myself... After all, this is a special point...
Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked.
It must be a special point...
Fujimaru Ritsuka temporarily put away the simple version of the divine seal, then stood up again and looked into the distance.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a village, and it looks very peaceful...
Fujimaru Ritsuka was pacing in place.
At least you can't do nothing...
OK! Let’s go then!
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded vigorously, took steps, and walked towards the village.
Then--
"ah!"
Wow——
To be continued...
