—This kind of thing is really...sad.
Captain Drake took a sip of his drink with a hint of regret.
Many people, wanting to prove they possess the qualities of a hero, use the excuse of "eliminating evil for the people" to take up their swords and storm Gorgon Island.
This behavior is, in fact, piracy.
Even the Argonauts were, in fact, nothing more than a pirate gang that spread rumors and plundered everywhere in search of the Golden Fleece.
"Huhuhu..."
A clumsy little brown bear carrying a wine glass walked towards Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Hey ladies...how about a romantic drink session, treat me like a cute doll, and thoroughly torture my heart...mwm...mmm!"
"Go to hell, darling!"
With a snapping sound, Orion the little bear's punishment this time turned into being cut in half at the waist.
Blood was everywhere... But where did the blood come from in the cotton?
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu left without looking back.
"It's best to stay a little further away from bloodshed, in case you act impulsively."
"That's right, senior. It wouldn't be good if we acted impulsively."
"Miss Mary, Miss Anne! I've come to play with you!"
Taking advantage of the darkness, Fujimaru Ritsuka jogged toward the two Servants, one in gold and one in silver.
"Oh, it's Master!"
"Hmm...what does Master want with us?"
There's nothing particularly special about it; I just wanted to deepen our relationship and build strong feelings and bonds.
"Forming a bond with pirates, huh... Master, you're quite a strange person." Anne didn't refuse Fujimaru Ritsuka's offer of kindness.
"However, be careful... Master~~"
She still had a malicious smile on her face, her eyes were slightly narrowed, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her expression was becoming more and more playful.
"What are you careful about?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka swallowed hard.
"Be careful... We pirates consider our Masters to be important treasures... Once we discover that you are a valuable treasure, we might not be able to resist taking you away."
Annie's smile sent a chill down one's spine.
Fujimaru Ritsuka pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under the other person's predatory gaze.
"No, no! Looting is forbidden in Chaldea, and the senior isn't a treasure in the traditional sense! I oppose this!"
Matthew retorted righteously, though with a selfish motive.
"Your objections are useless. We are pirates, and we never follow the rules. If we want something, we will kill to take it. That's the way we pirates are."
Mary said earnestly, "However, as a token of our gratitude for saving and accepting us, we won't go on a killing spree when we take the treasure..."
Don't expect pirates to follow any rules; they're just bad people. Even if they're easy to get along with, they're still ruthless killers.
"That's just who we are, so even knowing that's who we are, Master, do you still want to get along with us?"
Mary added.
"Ah."
"To save humanity, I must live in harmony with my companions. And..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched the back of her head a little sheepishly: "Well, I think even though you two are making it sound so serious, you're probably not bad people. And even if you are... as long as you don't kill people randomly, I won't hold it against you too much~~"
Fujimaru Ritsuka is neither a villain nor a saint.
She was just an ordinary human who had obtained the power of the True Ancestor, and she always adhered to the bottom line and values of humanity, but she was not bound by any rules or regulations.
that's enough.
After all, humans are complex, and even Fujimaru Ritsuka cannot say that she is necessarily a good person.
As the restoration of humanity progresses, Fujimaru Ritsuka might encounter situations where she knows something is evil but has no choice but to do it...
"I hope I can be like the two of you."
"Although they are pirates, I think that even so, their fighting stance and beliefs are very cool and beautiful."
"Ah... Liu Yi (7) Yin Yi Ba Shi 7b.a Master and the strange person's relationship is getting better and better."
Kiyohime sat on the rocks by the shore, watching with some envy as Fujimaru Ritsuka was building a good relationship with the two female pirates.
"Haha... Actually, you don't need to come and spy on me. As long as you're with them, you can also develop a relationship with your Master."
King David said with a smile.
"I can cultivate a relationship with my Master without resorting to such methods..."
Kiyohime turned her head away and said in a sinister tone.
—Cultivate feelings and increase compatibility with your Master by getting into bed at night.
"So you're still here to spy on me."
King David said this incisively.
"After all, he is the father of King Solomon. He might be a spy sent by the enemy. Even if the Masters don't take it seriously, Kiyohime absolutely cannot let her guard down."
Like a steel needle, Kiyohime's gaze fell upon David.
She could sense that many of the things King David said were not true, that much of it was a lie... but the one thing he said that was true was, "I am not the enemy."
If it weren't for that, she would have already blasted King David's face with her Samadhi Fire.
"Solomon...so you mean, you believe that he created the Singularity and the Burning of Humanity, so as his father, I am most likely an accomplice—is that right?"
David picked up a stone, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it with all his might onto the cool, moonlit sea!
The stone skips across the ocean.
It remained there for a long time, and even after traveling hundreds of meters, it was still flying across the water like a flying IX phosphorus liu master $ Lu (seven) Ba ".
"Any questions?"
"Of course, there's no problem with that..."
David sighed. "Would you believe me if I said that Jedidiah wouldn't do such a thing?"
"Yedidia is...?" Kiyohime's bangs covered the upper half of her face.
"That's Solomon's nickname."
""
Would you believe it?
Based on Kiyohime's judgment.
This is not a lie.
In other words, if David's judgment is correct, then the burning of the people was not done by Solomon.
"It doesn't sound like a lie."
Kiyohime remained silent for a long time before speaking.
“I assure you, unless all one hundred of Solomon’s lovers cheat on him, he would never do something as outrageous as destroying the world.”
"One hundred lovers...no...isn't that a bit excessive? I'm not sure how to comment."
Kiyohime's opinion of this King Solomon, whom she had never met, declined.
Hehe...probably.
If she recognizes who the real King Solomon is...
The public opinion will probably be even worse.
"However, although the world is unlikely to be destroyed, there are still certain risks."
David looked up at the starry sky and said, "You should remember, Jason said before that he wanted to take Euryale and become the invincible king, ruling the entire singularity, right?"
“Ah, speaking of which, I do have some recollection of it.” Kiyohime flicked her fan and echoed.
"In fact, I have a companion on a nearby island. She was a member of the Argo before she defected. According to the information she provided, Jason is planning to sacrifice Euryale to my Noble Phantasm, the Ark of the Covenant, in order to gain so-called invincible power."
"Oh, I see." Kiyohime nodded... then suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Invincible power?! You can get it just by sacrificing that weak goddess to the Ark of the Covenant, really?"
If this is true, that would be terrible. We must tell Master immediately!
"Of course it's fake."
David replied matter-of-factly, “How could such a thing be? The Ark of the Covenant is a treasure of God; how could it possibly grant mankind invincible power?”
"Phew...that's great." Kiyohime patted her chest, calming down.
"However, because of the unique nature of [God], the moment Miss Euryale touches the Ark of the Covenant, a paradox will occur, causing turmoil and triggering the concept of [death]..."
David explained, "The entire singularity will Boom~~"
"They'll all explode anyway."
"Huh?" Kiyohime blinked. "It exploded?"
"It exploded."
"No...no no no no no no!"
Kiyohime suddenly stood up: "Isn't this even more serious than the last one? If that goddess is sacrificed to the Ark of the Covenant, won't Master die along with her?!"
"Well... I guess so. After all, the death of the Ark of the Covenant is a conceptual level. Even if the Master has a near-immortal body, she might still be vaporized in an instant, right?"
Miss Kiyohime finally couldn't sit still any longer.
She glared at David: "Why didn't you tell the Master this sooner! You should have told him sooner about such dangerous information!"
“I’m planning to talk about it tomorrow. We’ll discuss it after we reach the other islands and meet our companions.” David squinted, a calm smile on his face.
"After all, I don't want to talk about anything stressful at this time. Let's just have a pleasant exchange of feelings."
"Only when comrades share a deep bond can they entrust each other's backs in battle, right?"
Kiyohime said she couldn't get along with this guy.
"but..."
She stood up and dusted off her kimono.
"Alright, at least I'm very clear that you have no ill intentions. From now on, I just need to assist my Master properly."
"That's natural."
David pulled out a guitar without anyone noticing: "This is a rare opportunity, so I'll play a few songs in this atmosphere. Actually, I'm better at playing the harp, but... well, there aren't any other instruments on the ship."
"Don't look at me like this..."
The fingers deftly danced across the strings, producing a beautiful melody that was long, deep, and smooth as silk, pleasing to the ear.
“I once cured King Saul’s headache with music.”
David chuckled as he spoke, his fingers tapping out tiny sparks on the strings, the music dancing from his fingertips adding ambiance and atmosphere to the campfire night.
It must be admitted that music does indeed have a magical power.
It enables communication between the past and present, and between the East and the West.
Even an Eastern yokai like Kiyohime can gain insights from Western music.
The sound of music drifted through the wilderness of this small island.
The pirates jumped up joyfully, performing a clumsy dance amidst laughter and merriment.
Following the music, Euryale spontaneously began to sing aloud under the starry night sky.
The alluring voice was no longer a means of attacking the enemy, but a melodious sound filled with blessings.
However, unlike the joyful atmosphere on Fujimaru Ritsuka's side...
On the other side of the sea
