Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Page 362

Even so, she still had some authority.

After all, the only true royal family members left in this world are her and Earth Princess.

—Except for half-baked talents like Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“That makes sense. I will take Fujimaru Ritsuka from my foolish sister. And since she has given a part of herself to Fujimaru Ritsuka, then… I will be able to turn the tide of defeat—”

"Oh no, damn it, we lost again!"

Ertruchi, with a petite frame even smaller than Ayaka Sajou, harbors great ambitions.

However, although she seemed to be a little better than the silly princess, she was only a little smarter.

It seems that the true royal family members are not very intelligent.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka were so easily seduced, then she wouldn't be working so hard. Besides, Princess is the real rival; no one considers Mashu a rival. The rest are just small fry.

As for Eltluch, that ambitious but incompetent fool, she can't cause any trouble.

"Yes, that's it—"

Sajō Aika's eyes curved slightly in a smile:

“Star-headed entity, Archetype, this existence should have been yours, but that self-proclaimed princess stole your power and took away what should have been yours.”

“That’s right, hmm! It seems you’re quite sensible. I’ll take you on as my follower and have you come up with ideas for me.”

Eltluci stood on the bed with her bare, white feet, nodding repeatedly as she spoke.

—Who wants to be your follower?

As the princess who connects to the Root, how could Aika Sajou easily submit to someone?

Unless that person is the irresistibly charming Ritsuka—

"Then I am truly honored..."

Sajō Aika smiled sweetly, clutching her chest as she looked at the petite Ertruki.

The other party was so angry that his face turned red, and he slammed the Bluetooth controller in his hand to the ground with a loud thud.

"Alright, I have a question now: how do I beat this guy? Give me some advice!"

How could that samurai general named Kawaharata something-or-other be killed by me in just two strikes?! I am the True Ancestor Princess and the King of the Dead Apostles! How could he defeat me so easily? Is this guy comparable to my father?!

Sajō Aika: ...

Perhaps, possibly, maybe, she's not suited to play this game.

"We suggest you just get a refund."

Ai Ge said softly.

"Who wants a refund?! Today I'm going to wipe out that samurai named Kawaharata something-or-other! I'll show him the power of the King of Dead Apostles!"

Eltrauki is working hard...

Sajō Aika: Seriously, do all these True Ancestors have something wrong with their brains?

Chapter 256 Keep up the good work before heading to the Singularity

"So, why did you come back?"

Miss X, her face bruised and swollen, clutched the bump on her head, despite her strength being among the best of the Saber class.

However, in the original universe, the power of all Servants in the Servant Universe, except for those with universe-scale Spirit Origins, is compressed to the range of normal Spirit Origins.

As for why he was beaten so badly...

Actually, there are other reasons behind this.

The main reason is that although the blue and black sides don't get along, Miss X considers herself the strongest Saber and launches a sneak attack, which leads to her being attacked by the enraged black and blue sides.

"Ouch! Ouch! Master, be gentle!"

X-chan clutched the large bump on her head, letting out a wail, her delicate face instantly streaked with tears.

"Don't move. This is Da Vinci's special spirit marrow fluid, which can repair physical damage to Servants. Of course it will hurt."

Fujimaru Ritsuka rolled her eyes at X and chopped at the brim of her hat with her hand. This woman was clearly an Artoria from head to toe, but her way of doing things was the most unpredictable of all the Artorias.

"I'm here to resurrect Xiao Ai."

After a long pause, X finally spoke, his face still swollen.

Yin Lin (7)'s father, Siqi, is "resurrected...?"

"It can't really be called a resurrection, it's just that we are Servants. There is no true death in the Servant universe, but it takes a long time for a Spirit Origin to dissipate and then re-form. Chaldea's summoning is like a resurrection for us."

"That's right! It's like bringing Little Ai back from the graveyard, just like the resurrection of the dead!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka: “…”

What the heck is this "the dead come back to life" nonsense?

No.

How could this game survive this long? Or is there some kind of cosmic Konami, or perhaps Takahashi and Nozomi have reached the Throne of Heroes?

"So, you want to try to summon Aiolia using Chaldea's summoning circle, right?" Ritsuka asked.

"That's right, is it difficult? If it is, I won't force you. However, if I can summon it... I'll trade it for a high-grade cosmic fruit!"

The importance of desserts in Miss X's heart cannot be ignored.

Her words are easy to understand, but they cannot be understood using the usual way of thinking.

But now, looking into her clear blue eyes, Fujimaru Ritsuka clearly saw her expectation, sadness, and regret. Beneath her optimistic and stubborn exterior lay a wounded heart.

"……Ugh."

In other words, Xiao Ai ultimately perished.

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little sad. During the Sixth Singularity, Saber Alter and X had made contact once, when X was attacking the headquarters of the Dark Round Table.

X wants to save Xiao Ai.

After exhausting all means to finally defeat the Dark Iron Knight Agraven—the heroine X, a mysterious woman wielding a holy sword, a heroine of the universe, finally stormed the Dark Knight's headquarters and faced the evil knight clad in black iron armor.

She won, of course.

In the duel of the holy swords, she fought a desperate battle with her opponent.

then……

The black-armored knight disarmed.

Right there, at the core of Camelot, the planet of the Dark Knights of the Round Table.

The disarmed Ai-chan revealed her true appearance for the first time.

It turns out that Ai-chan was never kidnapped, but was the leader of the Dark Knights of the Round Table in the Cosmic Villain Alliance.

"Xiao Ai—"

There are only five minutes left until the explosion of Camelot.

Xiao Ai gave up her own hope of survival, leaving the only possibility—the spaceship—to X, and then disappeared along with the explosion of Camelot.

Camelot was ultimately destroyed, turning into a dazzling firework in the Servant Universe.

Think about it.

X thought that Chaldea must possess the technology to summon Servants.

Although the Servant universe is extremely advanced, it does not have such technological means, nor does it have a Master, so there is no technology for summoning.

Therefore, if we ask Chaldea for help, we might be able to bring back the old Aiolia.

Fujimaru Ritsuka would certainly not refuse this request.

only……

Does this mean Artoria's value in Gari will increase again?

Artoria is really on fire right now!

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed. It seems that while human history is not peaceful, the Servant universe is not peaceful either.

"So, Xiao Ai was saying goodbye back then..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka recalls a dream she had.

That was a phantom that appeared after X returned to the universe, as if it didn't exist.

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized that at that time, she must have already known her fate and was fulfilling her mission for it, right?

Knowing full well about her magical abilities, she still stubbornly persists on her path to the bitter end; truly worthy of being a derivative character of Artoria…

"Speak of it."

Miss X asked Fujimaru Ritsuka with some confusion, "Why does Master know that Estelle has the face of [Artoria] even though he has never met her before?"

"That's a long story."

Fujimaru Ritsuka had, after all, synchronized with Ai's junk robot, [Black Knight], which means...

"Eh! So, Master has been watching me and Aya's life together in the dorm through that black metal can? No way! No way! Does that mean Master saw everything I did—showering, changing my underwear, and even secretly masturbating in bed without Aya's knowledge?!"

Miss X jumped up in surprise, put her hands on Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulders, and as she muttered to herself, her cute face immediately turned bright red.

no……

Girl, did you just say something suggestive?

No, no, no, that's not what you should be focusing on at all!

Fujimaru Ritsuka rolled her eyes.

"Ah, I'm dead! My path as Saber is probably, probably over. Thinking back on my youth, my life at the Cosmic Chaldea High Academy—oh dear!"

Miss X seemed to lose all her strength in an instant and collapsed to the ground. She became a salted fish who had lost her dreams, a fool without ideals, and Artoria who starved to death by the roadside.

"Ugh."

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed softly:

"Hey you, shouldn't you be an Assassin? You're not Saber at all!"

"—?!"

With a whoosh, the mysterious heroine X suddenly seemed to have triggered some underlying code, and sprang up with renewed vigor.

"Are you kidding me?! I don't understand anything about Assassin! I'm Saber! SabertheSaber!"

Whose child is this?

Miss X kept rambling on about meaningless things, and her obsession with the title of Saber no matter what happened was truly hopeless.

That's probably why she suffered a major defeat in the melee just now. After all, the fight turned into a two-on-one battle between the enemy, Saber and Blue Saber. There was no way around it, mainly because this guy would launch sneak attacks from time to time and claim to be Saber.

No matter how despicable the means, they had to prove they were Saber and then get a good beating.

"Alright, go find Leonardo da Vinci. See if you can use the Heroic Spirit Summoning System. If you have the [Fate], you should be able to summon even Servants from the Servant Universe."

After applying the medicine, Fujimaru Ritsuka put the blue scarf back on X, zipped up her sweatshirt, and then said.

"Okay, thank you, Master. You're so kind to me—"

Ms. X said gratefully.

She has been immersed in the shadow of Aiolos's death and guilt for some time now. If she could summon Aiolos, even if it was just a Servant projection, she would like to confide her thoughts to him.

At the same time, she was asked why she left the academy in the first place.

Was it that Chef Red's food was bad, or that Helena was too strict, or maybe she was caught putting her socks and underwear in the shared washing machine that day...?

"Alright, go ahead. I still have servants to deal with... no, I mean work to do. Let's talk things out tonight if you have any questions."

Fujimaru Ritsuka waved her hand dismissively, seeing Ms. X out of the room.

Having work to do makes this perfectly reasonable.

Even if Fujimaru Ritsuka possesses the power of the True Ancestor, it doesn't necessarily mean she can do anything.

The materials needed for Chaldea's operation and the energy required for training must all be replenished from various micro-singularities.

That's right, this is what they call working overtime.
