Before the Chaldean group could wake up from the panic of "I seem to be the last human being", the alarm in the vehicle rang again, and the harsh sound made every Chaldean employee's heart skip a beat.
It trembled again.
"Again, what happened again..."
"Do we have to be killed..."
Ceresela held her head and squatted in the corner of the vehicle, crying and talking to herself.
【Urgent report from the computer room!】
【Urgent report from the computer room!】
This time it is no longer the voice forced in from the outside, but the voice coming from inside the vehicle.
"Lawrence...Da Vinci?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her head and looked at the broadcast port.
[Yes! That’s right! This is the one who alone has access to all the functions of the submarine—the almighty Lawrence Da Vinci! 】
[We are now only two thousand meters away from the coast, but I want to tell you, we are going to be in trouble before we get there!]
[A large number of magic reactions appeared directly in front of the submarine, a very large number!]
[I believe you have guessed what we are going to face, right? You should be able to observe it with the naked eye right away!]
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Goldruff rushed to the front of the cab, looked into the distance, and then their eyes widened together.
"That, that is-"
Goldruff's voice trembled.
"Those soldiers who attacked Chaldea...!"
Valkyrie in white clothes.
Killer hunter in black clothes.
There are also machines with bronze bodies.
The three types of enemies seem to be endless in number, wandering in the vast and empty snowfield.
"This is simply waiting for us. Is it planning to kill us all...?"
Munir gritted his teeth and hammered the wall next to him hard.
But it can be seen that his body is also trembling.
fear--
The fear that has never stopped from the beginning is now infinitely amplified.
Apart from despair, there is no other adjective that can describe the current situation.
"The number is simply countless...even the coastline can no longer be seen...if this continues..."
Even Fujimaru Ritsuka started to get scared.
Are all the battles I've been through so far pointless?
Think – to think!
Think about how Fujimaru Ritsuka can overcome the current difficulties and find the last chance to survive for yourself - for mankind!
"If we just...find a way to hit him directly, is there any chance?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Holmes with a slight tremor in her voice that she couldn't even detect.
It was not Holmes who answered her, but Lawrence Da Vinci.
【Impossible!】
[If you want to break through the one in front with a submarine alone, you will definitely die if you rush in like this!]
[Holmes, let’s find a way to take a detour now! Go to other observation stations and give up the plan of taking the boat for the time being!]
This does sound like a good approach.
but--
Holmes shook his head.
"Allow me to reject your proposal."
He was still terrifyingly calm.
"Lawrence Leonardo da Vinci, there is no response from the external base, no matter which one."
"The sonar display is not [off], but [nothing]."
"You should be able to see it from over there."
He twisted the steering wheel and talked with Lawrence Leonardo da Vinci in the computer room, affecting the psychology of everyone in the submarine.
"As long as we continue to stay here, if we don't leave from here, we will only die!"
"The combat effectiveness and mobility of the troops who attacked and occupied Chaldea are beyond imagination. Once we are caught up, all our previous efforts will be in vain."
"The only way to survive...is to go out to the [sea]."
"Are you seeking a way out or seeking death?"
Goldruff Mujik couldn't stand it any longer.
"Stop it, you idiot! If we continue to drive forward, we will only die!"
"So what if we get to the beach, the ship has already been occupied - just listen to me!"
Perhaps because these are extraordinary times, Holmes did not reply to Goldruff Mujik with a single word, but glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, can this decision be made by you?"
He just said so.
"——You mean to leave me——the fate of all of us in the hands of this little amateur girl who knows nothing!?"
Goldruff's eyes were horrified.
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't pay attention to what Goldruff said. She was just stunned, glanced at Holmes, then turned around and looked at the other members of the submarine.
Mash Kirilet, former Master and current Servant.
Ginger Abel Munir, control room operator.
Sylvia Tomalin, control room operator.
Ceresela Elrond, Clerk of Records.
A Japanese employee named Kawada, an equipment operator.
Octavia, Magic Atelier Assistant.
A Central Plains clerk named Chen, a vehicle maintenance worker.
Kayon, weapons preparation and designer.
Marcus, the maintenance staff of Reiko Engineering.
The eyes of the nine people were all focused on Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"...If it is Ritsuka who makes the decision, whether I end up dead or alive...I have no opinion."
After a moment of silence, Munir took a step forward, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and said seriously.
Although the other people didn't say anything, their eyes showed their attitude.
"Senior... please."
Mashu covered her mouth, holding back tears, and nodded to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"--What!?"
