On the bed in the infirmary, Fujimaru Ritsuka opened his eyes in a daze.
"senior!"
Mashu grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand and was extremely surprised.
"Welcome back!"
"Fufu uh——"
The little white animal lying on Fujimaru Ritsuka's belly also looked very happy.
"Ah, Matthew, Miss Lawrence...this sense of peace of mind is really great..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
To be honest, although the environment in that place is good, something abnormal happens at every turn, or...
Very tiring.
But this is also the norm among singularities.
If you have to save something and accidents happen frequently, you want to be able to control everything... Anyway, at least you won't be able to rest well.
That is, in Chaldea, I can sleep peacefully...
No, maybe it's not very stable...
Thinking that this situation was essentially a "dream", Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes suddenly widened, as if he didn't dare to sleep.
"Don't worry, Ritsuka."
Lawrence smiled helplessly and tenderly, and placed Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand between his own hands.
"Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who was the moving singularity, has been confirmed to have been eliminated, and Miyamoto Musashi...at least according to our observation, she successfully transferred to other worlds after that duel.
Although I don’t know what her condition is, with her ability, she will definitely turn the crisis into good fortune.”
"You can sleep peacefully now."
"Ah...thank you, Miss Lawrence, and Matthew, but now, I'd better get up."
Sitting up from the hospital bed, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled, stretched first, then took off the intravenous drip for glucose injection from his hand, and walked out of bed.
"I've been sleeping for such a long time. If I don't move any more, my bones will get rusty."
"Thank you for your hard work, senior."
Mashu gently hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Oh my, my, why is this place blocked by water...? Oh, Master, are you awake?"
Shuten Doji was still holding a sake bowl in his hand, and he wandered here from nowhere. When he saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka had woken up, his eyes lit up and he said hello.
"Oh, it's so gratifying. The master who overslept is also very cute."
Minamoto Yorimitsu followed Shuten Doji, looked at Ritsuka who was still a little sleepy, and showed a motherly smile.
"Hey? Haven't you heard? Master, I went to another world in my dream."
After taking a sip of the wine in the wine bowl, Shuten Doji turned his head and glanced at Minamoto Yorimitsu.
It could be seen that she seemed to be very unhappy that Shuten Doji actually talked to her.
"Oh my, those buzzing bugs are coming from there, that sound is really annoying, get out of here, get out of here."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, as if there really was a bed bug.
Shuten Doji narrowed his eyes, revealing a somewhat dangerous aura.
But before the two people confront each other——
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A somewhat anxious voice came over.
"I heard that the master is awake, let me in quickly!"
It's Kiyohime.
She pushed aside Minamoto Yorimitsu and Shuten Doji who were blocking the door of the infirmary, and rushed to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, wanting to hug him directly——
"Miss Qingji, it's better not to hug the master too hard now. During this period, senior has been taking IV drips to maintain nutrition, so he may not have much strength now..."
"Ouch!"
"Such a big tail is really in the way...Ah, I heard you were awake, so I came here too!"
Tamamo Mae also appeared at the door at some unknown time, but because her big tail was caught in the door, she couldn't go in. She could only stand at the door and say hello to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Mom... Although I don't know what's going on with Master Anzhen, if you want, you can always come and tell Qingji what happened to you?"
Kiyohime looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with hope, but was careful not to hug him.
Looking at the scene in front of me——
Fujimaru Ritsuka finally showed a somewhat relaxed smile.
"Everyone, I'm back."
This may be a short-term peace of mind in the midst of danger...
...
"Yeah. I'm back."
After the short celebration, Fujimaru Ritsuka met a...familiar figure in the corridor of Chaldea.
A man who looked a bit like a Christmas tree, with black thunder and lightning crackling and flashing around his body.
Cave King.
"Well, I'm back."
Nodding, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes had an inexplicable meaning, but in short, he was smiling.
But there was no other emotion on the Cave King's face or eyes.
"I don't have anything special to say. You struggled to survive in the narrow gap and finally returned to Chaldea——"
"Hello, Mr. Missionary."
As if for the purpose of teasing, Fujimaru Ritsuka interrupted the Cave King's words, and then... gave a strange greeting.
"...who is that?"
After a moment of silence, the Cave King denied some things.
"Lawrence has told you several times that you need to rest...but before you go to bed, remember to pay attention to the things on the table."
Saying that, with a smile on his face, the Cave King walked past Fujimaru Ritsuka.
...
First, he went to Chaldea's cafeteria and had a hearty meal under the "siege" of Mr. Anno and Mr. Emiya. After that, Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to his room.
She remembered the cave king's instructions to her.
...before you go to bed, go and take a look.
Things on the table.
This is...a communication gift?
Fujimaru Ritsuka is a little strange.
Who put this thing on the table in his room?
After pondering for a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka activated this gift.
Click——
The image was projected.
And the person in the image is——
"Musashi-chan?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened suddenly, and the sleepiness disappeared without a trace in an instant——
Because, through the communication gift, the person who got in touch with Fujimaru Ritsuka was none other than Miyamoto Musashi, whom they had just separated from each other. Musashi-chan!
"Uh-huh, what's wrong? Why do you look like you've said goodbye to something important in your life?"
Musashi smiled, proving that it was not a machine, but a living Musashi.
"Musashi dear..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Musashi in the video with tears in her eyes.
"Well, just kidding, I wonder if you remember, Ritsuka, we once met a missionary from the Tianlian family when we went down to the city. I met a guy who looked exactly like him."
"He told me to use this thing to leave a few words before embarking on a new journey."
