"A bold... giant man?" Fujimaru Ritsuka tilted his head in confusion.
"That's right! Huge man! Oh, that's right..." Bombe pulled Hijikata Toizo, who was standing on the side with his chest coldly holding his chest and actually peeking at Drake, "This gentleman's height is
You're already very tall, right, but if you stand in front of that giant man, I'm afraid you won't even be able to reach the giant man's chest."
"That must be...more than three meters." Matthew said in surprise, "Is there really someone so tall?"
"Really, Sister-in-law was there at that time!" Bombe looked at Derek with excitement, "You are right, Sister-in-law!"
"It is indeed true." Derek nodded seriously, without refuting what Bombe said, "It was precisely because of that particularly tall man that I realized something was wrong in this sea area."
"That giant man held a blue longbow that was bigger than a man, and shot the city rising from the sea with one arrow!" Bombe became more and more excited as he talked, "That huge blue arrow - I can't
I will never forget it in my life!"
"After the giant man sank the city, he rode the waves and left, and the whole sea was filled with his cheerful laughter!"
Lawrence stood behind a few people and blinked.
This description...why does it feel so familiar?
"After the giant man left, a golden cup floated on the sea. We picked up the golden cup. Now the eldest sister uses this golden cup as a wine glass." Bombe pointed to the cup in Lawrence's hand.
"That is to say... before we came, there was indeed a disaster that was enough to cause people to lose their minds, but it was wiped out by that giant man, and then the Holy Grail appeared in its place?" Fujimaru Ritsuka tried.
Connecting the information obtained so far, "But something is wrong, this..."
"So, since this Holy Grail has not changed back even if it is recycled, then... there is only one possibility." Lawrence weighed the Holy Grail, "This Holy Grail... exists by itself
The normal Holy Grail for this era is not the special Holy Grail placed by Leif that caused the collapse of the turbulent foundation of the era, so..."
"Master, please return it to its owner." Lawrence handed the Holy Grail to Ritsuka.
Ritsuka nodded, took the Holy Grail from Lawrence's hand, and then placed it in Derek's hand.
"Is this... returned to me?" Derek took the Holy Grail with an awkward look, "You guys are so weird, you would actually give up the treasure you got."
"But you said that the disaster has not been resolved yet, which means that everything remains as usual?"
"Yeah." He couldn't easily repair the singularity, but Fujimaru Ritsuka was not discouraged. Instead, he showed a smile to Drake, "Then, I will leave it to you tomorrow, big sister."
"Hehe, leave it to me. As for now, let's continue with the party--!"
"Oh oh oh oh -"
...
Doris stood on the shore, lowered her head and pinched some fine white sand, sighing softly.
"So...you have been sleeping on this island for tens of thousands of years, until you were involved in this singularity?" Artemis and Orion stood behind Doris, looking at the
Tall back.
"Yeah." There was no emotion on Doris's face.
Fifteen thousand years ago, her son Oceanus lost his life in a deadly battle with Poseidon. Before Oceanus died, he entrusted Hermes to bring his divine core to Doris.
While Doris was wailing in the rain, for some unknown reason, she absorbed her son's divine core into her soul.
Doris, who possessed the divine core, became a god.
A god who can control the sea.
She moved Doris Island to another place, hid it with a barrier formed by sea currents, and led the Doris tribe to live on the island and protect it.
She knew that this was what Ocean wanted her to do.
Ocean killed the god, and the Lord God will punish him, and he is already dead, so the Lord God's anger will naturally be vented on the people related to him.
Doris, who became a god, stood on the beach, whispered her son's name, and determined to protect the island.
Forever.
One year, two years, ten years, a hundred years...
The old people began to leave one by one.
Ursula from the fishing team, the bald hunting captain Liliana, his sister Cora, and his niece Doreen.
Everyone passes away because of time.
But the Doris tribe became prosperous, but no matter how prosperous it was, it could not withstand time.
Two thousand years after Doris became a god, all the people in Doris' tribe disappeared.
She was the only one left on Doris Island.
After burying the last clan member, Doris spent an unknown amount of time trampling her footprints all over Doris Island.
Then she stood at the beach again, on the soft and delicate sand.
She decided to fall asleep.
Falling asleep can dilute this feeling of loneliness...
So, she fell asleep, and fell into a deep sleep in the big blue crystal.
This sleep lasted more than ten thousand years.
She didn't want to wake up.
Relatives and old friends have all left, and even if they wake up, all they see is the ruined tribe.
Doris smiled: "The sad words have long been gone, but you haven't said your names yet?"
Her beautiful eyes looked at Artemis and Orion.
"I... am Artemis." Artemis looked into Doris's eyes.
Although it can be seen that she is trying her best to persuade herself not to be sad, but...
In this moonlight (my) eyes, the feeling of desolation and sadness cannot be concealed no matter what...
"Moon God, God of Hunters, Artemis...?" Doris was surprised at first, and then became confused, "But you don't have the aura of divine power on your body, not even a divine core.
"
"During the tens of thousands of years you have been sleeping, the world has already undergone tremendous changes." Artemis shook her head, "Although I don't know why you are still outside, basically all the gods have changed because of the Great War.
The source faded and entered the inside of the world. I was able to appear in this world by occupying my dear spiritual base."
"That's it..." Doris pinched her chin, "Then what's the reason for your visit to my island? Or are you still brooding about things that happened thousands of years ago?"
"You misunderstood. I didn't agree with the great god's approach back then." Artemis shook her head, "It would be better to say... I was on the side of Hermes."
