Anno Samura is the shadow lingering on Kurokawa Mountain.
Anno Samura is the creator of this singularity, this world filled with weird "happiness" everywhere.
"Master, do you still remember the two questions I asked you?"
Samura turned his back to Fujimaru Ritsuka and took two steps forward.
His feet stepped on the lake water, and did not sink into the lake water, but stood firmly on the water.
Standing on Kurokawa Lake, he turned around and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with calm eyes, as if he was a harmless ordinary servant.
But... something that surprised Fujimaru Ritsuka was that the Samura in front of her and the Samura in her memory were actually slightly different in image.
As for what kind of discrepancies...
"......Remember."
Although her memory seemed to be lacking, Fujimaru Ritsuka clearly remembered the two questions that the [Mountain God] asked her that made her twitch and painful.
Compared to the legendary stories recorded about the Servants, is the ordinary life hidden behind the legend insignificant?
Is it not allowed to enjoy false happiness when true happiness cannot be obtained?
Fujimaru Ritsuka remembers these two questions.
"Mr. Samura, do you need me to answer again?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have any fighting power beside her. She only had herself and a simple version of the divine seal around her waist. Even the command curse only had one stroke left.
But she just stood there, looking at Zuocun seriously and aggressively.
"No."
Zuo Cun's appearance is not as young as he was in Chaldea, nor does he look like a middle-aged man with a beard or even a white beard and hair, but he is indeed older.
"You don't need to give me an answer."
In Fujimaru Ritsuka's impression, Samura's image is that of a person with a somewhat out-of-the-box thinking and full of youthful feelings. He can often be seen walking with Miss Okita in the corridors of Chaldea, talking and laughing.
With such a smile, he would even sneak into the kitchen with Okita, take away all Hijikata Toshizo's pickled cucumbers and hide them while eating a big meal, and then hide in the dark to watch Hijikata Toshizo's reaction.
"In the final analysis, it's just a question I use to make things difficult for you."
There was a little smile on the corner of Zuocun's mouth, but it was not a gentle smile, let alone a kind smile.
Of course, it is not a malicious smile, nor a sarcastic smile.
There was helplessness in that smile, relief, and——
Laugh at yourself.
"I just want to use that question to slow you down so that I can take a look and see more of everything in this singularity, that's all."
"I'm sorry for deceiving you, Ritsuka."
As he said this, Zuo Cun took a step back.
"Is this your reason? You want to see happiness, but - why do you do this."
Fujimaru Ritsuka still doesn’t understand.
Zuo Cun did not answer this question and just shook his head.
"Don't you want to answer me?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka took a step forward.
This is certainly not unwillingness...
Zuocun turned around.
Of course, this is not difficult to say.
This is just wishful thinking.
Creatures like samurai have never lacked the stubbornness to go all the way to the dark side.
He knew he was wrong, but in order to be able to see all this, he did it anyway.
And precisely because he did this, he also lost the right to defend himself, and also lost the ability to obtain forgiveness.
Instead of saying what you mean...
Perhaps it would be more in line with Zuo Cun's personality to carry this wishful thinking through to the end.
He knew what his ending would be, and some things were destined from the beginning.
The red long sword was unsheathed, and a terrifying slash was struck into the sky.
"Go, Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka."
Samura turned his head and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. There seemed to be something in his eyes, but Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't see it clearly.
"I'll wait to be knocked down by you."
"I must be defeated."
"You already hold the key in your hand, and you don't have to be soft when facing a god like me."
"I will - fight with all my strength."
...
When Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up for the fifth time in the woods outside Kurokawakami Village.
Not only did she no longer lose her memory, but all the memories she had lost in the previous world came back.
Not only that, communications with Chaldea have also been completely restored.
Under the scarlet sky, Fujimaru Ritsuka comforted the shocked Lawrence and his party, and then told all the things he had encountered so far.
"Sure enough...it's that guy..."
Lawrence covered his forehead, looking helpless.
"What, do you have any idea?"
Da Vinci glanced at Lawrence.
Lawrence was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"No, I respect Master, and I will respect Zuo Cun."
"The truth that belongs to him needs to be found by the Master... although I can almost understand what he is thinking."
"give it to me."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.
"No matter what, I will solve this singularity. Don't worry, Miss Lawrence still has Da Vinci to kiss!"
"be careful!"
Ma Xiu gave some uneasy instructions.
Nodding, Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up and started the journey again.
There was still no one in the village.
There was only a cup of hot tea left in Miss Sen no Rikyu's tea house, the same as last time.
After picking up the hot tea and drinking it in one gulp, Fujimaru Ritsuka walked towards the mountain.
The silence inside the shrine is extremely quiet.
The statue of the three-winged bird looks a little noisy, and the face of the mountain god reveals a hint of familiarity.
Anno Zuomura, the mountain god...
Why is it a mountain god?
Regarding this point, Fujimaru Ritsuka was actually a little confused.
But she still doesn't understand, and she also knows that the truth has not been investigated clearly, so she can't make a conclusion yet.
Judging from the radar on the Chaldean side, Mr. Samura...
It does seem to have a divine nature.
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't waste any time, quickly climbed to the top of the mountain and found the hut.
The hut no longer has shackles and can be easily opened even without a simple divine seal.
When he opened the door, standing inside were Oda Nobunaga, Hoshikuma Yukina, and the big demon bear mother.
There is also Souna Samura who is hiding behind the three of them.
Samura Soina lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Hahahaha - you are indeed a master! Although this is not a prison for us, it is a very happy feeling to be liberated!" Oda Nobunaga patted Fujimaru Ritsuka on the shoulder and laughed.
He said.
"Do you really want to destroy this singularity?"
Hoshikuma Yukina's tone was filled with unbearability.
"Let Zuocun have some happiness of his own. Logically speaking, it's nothing, right?"
