"etc--------!"

Without waiting for the girl to finish her words, the tide controlled by Animusfia's magic swept her backwards.

Also swept away along with Fujimaru Ritsuka were Mash, Artoria and others.

Animusfia's back quickly shrank, and finally disappeared from the girl's sight.

The waves gradually weakened, and finally slowly left them in the middle of the water.

The faint silver light enveloped everyone again.

That is a characteristic of Mercury magic that is unique to Animusfia.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to stand on the water again because of this.

Even if she had to face the Old Ones alone, Animusfia still did not forget to take care of them.

In the end, Animusfia was the only one left to fight.

"Gu————!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gritted his teeth and trampled the sea under his feet unwillingly.

Water splashed everywhere with the girl's kicks.

"That guy————! That guy——————"

The sudden appearance of a blue image interrupted Fujimaru Ritsuka who wanted to continue trampling on the water.

"Are you all here? This is your genius Leonardo Da Vinci. If you are ready, you can start the spiritual transfer after the director has dealt with the culprit of the twisted singularity."

It's Da Vinci who has rearranged his expression.

"What about the director? How should the director come back?"

Facing the question from Ritsuka, Da Vinci's rearranged expression became a little relaxed.

"Director... He can go back to Chaldea with us, right?"

"..."

Even the disguise constructed by a genius can only fail under such an offensive.

The pretended relaxed expression on Da Vinci's face also disappeared.

"Aha......"

A faint sigh passed through the microphone in the control room and was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.

She originally wanted to face this kind of scene where someone made sacrifices more relaxedly.

"No one will come back alive——"

The plain words struck down like a heavy hammer.

"No one can escape unscathed from a battle with that kind of existence."

After hearing Da Vinci's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to have lost all his strength and was in despair.

"That kind of thing...Mr. Animusfia..."

Matthew couldn't help but frown.

Arturia and Giorgios also lowered their heads.

"It would be better to say that it is already a miracle to be able to deal with the opponent. Mr. Director has a special way to face it. Ordinary people and even servants cannot even face the Old One."

A notebook was pushed by the tide and hit the sole of Fujimaru Ritsuka's boot.

The girl recognized the notebook.

She had read it before——though she had not understood it.

But this does not prevent Ritsuka Fujimaru from remembering this notebook.

That's Animusfia's Magic Code.

It is said to be a magic handbook, but in fact it contains more of his own research and may not be related to magic at all.

Fujimaru Ritsuka picked up the notebook floating on the water.

Although the codex that was deliberately endowed with magic was completely immersed in the sea, not a single page was soaked by water.

It was obviously Animusfia's last word to say goodbye.

"Director..."

Holding the book with one hand, the girl put the note into her arms and slowly knelt down.

The other hand tightly held the mercury star hanging on her chest, which had turned into a lifeless sculpture again.

That's it again.

Standing behind others again.

Again, I could only watch helplessly.

She doesn't want to do this anymore.

Whether it’s Director Olga Marie or Director Animusfia.

As a result, I can only be a bystander every time, unable to do anything.

Then, why did she go to the singularity?

[Fujimaru Ritsuka] As an ordinary person who does not understand magic, what is the purpose of coming to the singularity?

Can't be of any help.

It may even be delayed.

She couldn't get an answer...just wanted to————

I really want to stand next to that person.

...

Without giving the girl any more time to feel sad, a huge whirlpool appeared on the sea.

It was as if the entire ocean was covered by whirlpools, and a smooth sea surface could not be observed at all.

Even so, the water flow accurately bypassed everyone in Chaldea.

Like an isolated island in the ocean, there was still peace beneath the feet of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and others.

The huge shadow of the dark blue planet tore through the clouds in the sky, squeezing the storm to both sides.

This is the celestial magic of Animusfia.

He is still alive and fighting hard.

But he walked in the long corridor leading to the execution ground as if he had been sentenced to death.

Although he knew that Animusfia was still alive, the death he was about to face could also be clearly foreseen.

Like an apple falling from a tree but not yet falling to the ground——————

Unless Newton was sitting under the tree, even a three-year-old child could foresee the fate of the apple.

Animusfia has fallen from the apple tree.

Giorgos walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side with heavy steps.

"Mr. Animusfia is a noble man."

"......Is that so? Director?"

"Well, Mr. Animusfia is no less noble than any saint, including me."

A bitter smile appeared on the girl's lips.

Although she only knew Animusfia for less than a week, she felt that she had a good understanding of him.

No matter how deep the secret Animusfia hides and how many mysteries there are behind it, at least he will not be a compassionate saint.

"As for the director, he probably acts as a hero for the sake of being a hero."

Not to save many people, but to be a hero.

She also heard a lot of conversations between Animusfia and Artoria.

"That's enough."

Giorgios replied dully.

"Most people throughout their lives are unable to distinguish their goals from what they will naturally get after achieving their goals. Great people have done great things, and that is enough."

Do all heroes become heroes to help others?

Isn’t there anyone who wants to be admired and respected as a hero?

I'm afraid the results are not that ideal.

"Mr. Giorgios too?"
