Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Page 20

What kind of ancient city is this? We won't learn from it!

It's meaningless and pointless!

"Just as I expected! This kind of straightforward, direct attack, using fists to strike..."

"It suits me best!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka transformed into a beam of light and charged toward the Demon God Pillar, like a cannonball, or rather, a humanoid missile.

The Demon Pillar tried to break free of the chains binding him, and Florence had a feeling that even he couldn't last 1 minute in this strange spatial environment!

With Fujimaru Ritsuka's support in this area, she absolutely, positively possesses the power to kill it with a single punch!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Damn it!!"

The Demon Pillar once again flew into a rage of impotence.

Boom————!

The Demon God Pillar roared, its blood-red eyeballs trembling wildly, but the radiance that followed exploded in an instant!

"Fu?! Squeak!"

Fou, who was still next to the Demon Pillar, saw the dazzling red light rushing towards her and was instantly so frightened that her white fur stood on end!

Its four legs moved faster than a wheel, and it hurriedly shrieked as it ran away from the demon pillar, but—

Fujimaru Ritsuka is too fast!

In the blink of an eye

"Fufufufu——!"

— Fufu, who let out a squeal like a mouse, was blown away by the insane explosion that occurred when Fujimaru Ritsuka attacked the Demon God Pillar, an explosion powerful enough to destroy the entire underground cavern!

Tears welled in the eyes of the small white beast. After being thrown away by the aftershocks of the explosion, it rolled several times on the ground before collapsing to the ground in despair.

"Fu~~"

Fufu's ears drooped down.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's power is like a wind wall, a supernova explosion, or a nuclear bomb about to detonate. With the buff from the Millennium Castle, even destroying the city would be a piece of cake!

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Fujimaru...Ritsuka...Ritsuka!!!"

Rafe howled and roared, his mind clouded, and he seemed only able to slur his name as Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Even if...you kill me...I will soon be resurrected! And you...are right here—give me despair!"

"Humanity is extinct!"

"You...are finished too!!!"

boom!

Long!

With a roar of resentment.

A furious roar.

What flashed before Leif's eyes was Fujimaru Ritsuka's fist! It was the only thing he could see in his final moments!

"So much nonsense."

Even if you could really be resurrected...

"I'll kill you every time I see you."

As Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking...

The Star Fist followed!

A punch carrying terrifying power slammed down.

The already dilapidated Demon God Pillar collapsed with a crash!

Fujimaru Ritsuka landed nimbly from the sky, then carefully picked up the small white beast.

She turned away, no longer looking at the fallen demon pillar. Then, the enormous demon pillar exploded like a brilliant firework, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!

What's that classic saying again?

Ok.

"What filthy fireworks."

The girl's golden hair fluttered in the aftershocks of the explosion, and the soft, white beast was reflected in her blood-red eyes.

"Well, Fou... I'm sorry."

Fujimaru Ritsuka patted Fou's soft little head with a hint of apology.

"Florence, the Demon Pillar..."

Dr. Roman sat in his chair.

Why do Demon Pillars appear?

What does Rafe Lenore know?

How did the Chaldea Master named Fujimaru Ritsuka wield such immense power? And what about the strange energy reactions around Mash...?

The things he wanted to know were as numerous and overwhelming as a mountain, leaving the only Chaldea agent who could still barely manage to get by completely bewildered.

However, there's no point in thinking about all that now; the real problem troubling everyone is...

"Director—"

Dr. Roman said gravely:

"According to the calculation results of the [Calculation Device Trismegistes], your body does indeed no longer exist. What remains in the singularity is actually your lingering thoughts."

""

What does it mean? !

Olga Marie had intended to ask this question, after all, she had already vaguely sensed that she had a problem.

She does not have the aptitude for spirit transfer.

If there is any possibility, it's only that her physical body is gone.

Although, according to the Atlas Institute's theory, humanity is divided into three aspects: body, mind, and soul, and one can survive as long as one of these three is present, Olga Marie cannot withstand the proof of her existence being incomplete.

Once back in Chaldea, Olga Marie's consciousness will vanish in an instant.

This is the inevitable end.

"It's alright, don't worry about me. It's enough that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash Kyrielight are able to return to Chaldea."

"What? It's just death... I was already dead, wasn't I?"

“The director can’t return to Chaldea, how could this be…” Mash’s face showed a sorrowful expression.

She harbored no resentment towards Animusphia, nor towards Chaldea, nor towards Olga Marie.

"It's alright, Mash. The fate of Chaldea and human history rests on your shoulders."

Olga Marie gently patted Mash's shoulder and smiled easily, "As the former director of Chaldea, I will also offer my blessings to you."

Her eyes were slightly red, making it hard to notice, but tears were actually welling up in them.

"May the stars of Chaldea guide you on your path. Of course, I will also offer my support! After all, protecting the staff is my duty."

"Director..." Mashu choked up.

"Alright, go back with your Master. The future of humanity is in your hands... um... no, I can only feel at ease if it's in your hands."

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

In other words, Olga Marie was nearly killed by Rafe's bomb, and her speech became more pleasant.

"Hey, let's go! Don't stay here. The singularity is about to collapse. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Olga Marie stretched and then turned around, her back to Mash and the Chaldea communication phantom.

Tears streamed down her face, glistening and sweet tears that shimmered in the sunlight.

I don't want to die!

Olga Marie's true thoughts—why would she want to die? She had never been rewarded, never been recognized, and the only person who helped her betrayed and used her.

I don't want to die!

I also want Chaldea to prosper!

I also want to save humanity!

I want to do so much, I want to become so much more, but at this crucial juncture in the fate of humanity—

I messed it up!

Even if everyone understands that they don't blame her subjectively, does she really bear no responsibility?

She is guilty, and she cannot escape blame.

I haven't been praised or recognized by anyone yet!

How could I possibly accept this so easily...?

I don't want to die...

I want to live.

Olga Marie knew that such thoughts were despicable and shameless; she had brought Chaldea to this state, and she felt that dying a hundred times would not be too much of a crime.

but.

She couldn't save the world, that's true.

Human beings brought hope, but they turned it into despair with their own hands.

"I'm sorry... I'm really... so sorry."

"Your father's inhumane experiments hurt you."

"I made the mistake of trusting Rafe, and that's how everyone died."

“This is what I deserve, a sin that even death cannot atone for… So I solemnly apologize to you, Mashu, but it is clearly too late now…”

"Director—!!!"

Suddenly, an annoying embrace came from behind and hugged Olga Marie, as if the sad music had been interrupted in an instant, and the sad atmosphere came to an abrupt end.

With Fou perched on her shoulder, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly pounced on Olga Marie and hugged her from behind!

"Eh... Eh! Fujimaru Ritsuka?! What are you doing here...?"

"Wild Director GetDaze☆!"

"What kind of wild director is this? Seriously! You've ruined the precious atmosphere! Hurry up and take Mash back to Chaldea."

Olga Marie tossed her silver hair in annoyance, seemingly less afraid of the impending end after this commotion.

"Chief, you're coming too? What, you still want to stay in these ruins?"

"I can't go back! I'm already dead! The bomb was right under my feet, and I don't even have a physical body left to exist!"

There wasn't even a trace of her physical body left. Olga Marie could have survived as a familiar of Mash or Fujimaru Ritsuka, but now she was just a spirit, and the moment she returned to Chaldea...

It's like quantum collapse.

From a superposition state where she might die, she transforms into an eigenstate where she is certain to die. Simply put, Olga Marie is a cat that is actually dead, but the box hasn't been opened yet to prove it!

"I don't quite understand, but it seems pretty serious. But not being able to go back to Chaldea would be terrible..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have any good ideas either. In fact, she didn't even know what had happened, let alone have any good ideas.

Well, after all, he just arrived and is a complete newbie.

They started fighting right away, without even going to their own private room.

"Almighty Princess, please help me! Is there any way to save the director's life?"

After all, as a member of the True Ancestor Royal Family and possessing that [Star Brain Body], they must surely have a way to solve the Director's problem.
