Wearing pink pajamas with bears printed on them, Elizabeth Bathory walked out of the room sleepily.
Then they met Animusfia who was standing at the forefront of the Chaldean team.
Although she had strange horns and wings, Animusfia obviously recognized at a glance that the girl in front of her was the wife she had been with for decades—Elizabeth. · Bathory.
And she still looks like a girl before she got married.
It can be said to be expected.
The slender but agile and powerful tail twitched twice behind Elizabeth.
After Elizabeth saw clearly who the person under the stairs was, she completely froze in place.
"Huh------?"
Elizabeth couldn't help but wonder.
The heroic spirit that the memories of the last time at the French Singularity were uploaded to were "Camilla" and not "Elizabeth Bathory".
However, her consciousness that merged with Camilla did not disappear at the moment of fusion, but continued until the end.
Therefore, the experience of getting along with Animusfia, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others was also uploaded to Elizabeth on the "seat".
It's just that the perspective is very strange. To Elizabeth, everything that happens in that blood castle feels like a third-person game.
Although it is more immersive than simply watching the image, you can also clearly distinguish the difference between the protagonist and yourself.
"F... Renz?"
For Elizabeth Bathory, who is now a Lancer, the memory of getting along with Franz Nadasdy is actually not that real either.
Appearing as a half-dragon girl, she is more like the eldest lady of the famous Bathory family before she got married.
But she was still Elizabeth after all, and the time she spent with Ferenz Nadasti did not disappear in a vacuum.
The memories and experiences that I should have are not reduced at all.
You may not think of it deliberately at ordinary times, but after seeing that familiar face, it is difficult to suppress it.
The memory of humiliating the girl kept reappearing, and Elizabeth's cheeks were stained with a blush.
Seeing the strange reactions of the two people in front of her, Ritsuka raised her head warily and looked at Elizabeth on the stairs.
Nero unknowingly stood in front of Animusfia.
"Hey, good morning...but I think you may have the wrong person, miss."
Animusfia finally decided not to recognize Elizabeth.
One is to prevent the farce between Ritsuka and Nero from continuing to expand, and the other is his own selfishness.
If that girl could always remain "Bathory"——————
Both Animusfia and Elizabeth were well aware of that past event.
The current Elizabeth is the Elizabeth before marrying him, so will the girl still choose him after knowing the tragic future?
The reason why she looks like this is because Elizabeth herself is still dissatisfied with the image of female vampires and the countess.
So would she be dissatisfied with Animusfia/Frenz Nadasdi, who single-handedly led her to that ending?
If that were the case, Eliza would naturally not recognize her.
At least after becoming a heroic spirit, she can have a future of her own choice.
After hearing the familiar words "Good morning" from Animusfia's mouth, Elizabeth knew that she had definitely recognized the right person.
There was a hint of wavering in her eyes.
"Oh...Oh, hey! Who are you and why did you break into my castle without permission!"
But it would be inappropriate to say it without permission.
You must know that this city was built by Animusfia. Obviously, if he brought people in, it could not be regarded as without permission.
But it would be nice if Eliza was happy...it seems like she chose another path.
Animusfia was still somewhat disappointed, although he also hoped that Eliza would have a different ending. But when Eliza chose to be a stranger with him, he would still worry about gains and losses.
Whether it's pretentious or terrible.
Animusfia is such a person.
"These are Yu's words. Who are you, and why would you privately erect such a large building on Yu's land?"
Nero responded with no sign of weakness.
"And all the other officials and knights went crazy after visiting this place! The surrounding citizens have even moved to other cities. How do you explain these things?"
Eliza also became silent as if she knew she was in the wrong.
"I...there's nothing I can do. I was suddenly summoned here...the master didn't even have a shadow...and he didn't have enough magic power to bring Chaheji... Si moved away... After they came in, I thought they were my fans... Don't blame me so one-sidedly!"
Unilateral blame?
"Your Majesty, it would be better to be a little considerate of the other party. After all, she should be one of the heroic spirits summoned by the restraint force this time."
"Oh, Governor, are you saying that she is the same existence as Lord Boudica and Lord Spartacus?"
Animusfia glanced at the somewhat annoyed Elizabeth on the stairs, and nodded helplessly.
"I'm afraid that's the case, Your Majesty."
"Well, since the governor said that, I'll spare you."
"ah...."
Elizabeth looked at Animusfia who was groveling before Nero but hesitated to speak.
In those future memories, this is how Ferenc Nadasti served Holy Roman Emperor Matthias.
It seems that even here he has not changed.
"Director! I wanted to say it a long time ago, why do you have to be so respectful to this guy! You are so strict with me, why are you so humble in front of this guy? Can this be considered the director of Chaldea? ?!”
Although Nero agreed with Fujimaru Ritsuka's idea, she also hoped that Animusfia would treat her with less distance. Sometimes she would even be jealous of the red-haired girl who could play with Animusfia.
But since the last master girl of mankind said it in this tone, even Nero's approval will turn into disapproval today.
"What are you saying that is treasonous? As Yu's minister, shouldn't the governor be respectful to Yu? You, on the other hand, are jealous, huh huh huh."
"Huh? It's so funny. You are the one who is jealous, right? Haven't you heard that people are only respectful to people they are not close to? From this point of view, it is obvious that the director has a closer relationship with me."
is that so?
Although Animusfia does not deny that he is like this, he does not think that everyone is like him.
At least the eggplant juniors who are not far away are an excellent counterexample.
Although she has always been respectful to Ritsuka, Mashu is definitely the person closest to Ritsuka currently.
Even he fell short.
At least Animusfia hasn't gotten to the point of bathing with Ritsuka yet.
But the sound of teasing Mashu in Ritsuka's bathroom can always be heard in Chaldea.
"Gummmmmmmmm——————, you are so brave."
Nero, who was hit by a sore spot, once again stuck to Ritsuka.
Unknowingly, this scene seems to have become a repertoire.
Elizabeth looked at the two girls arguing about Animusfia under the stairs in a daze.
Quarrel...
She looked at Animusfia who was staying away from the incident again, but Elizabeth could only capture a distant smile.
...that look again.
This was not a memory from the future, but the memory of Elisabeth Bathory's first meeting with Ferenc Nadasty before her marriage.
At that time, Franz always had this unpleasant smile on his face.
It was as if everything had an invisible wall with him.
Just by looking at that smile, you can notice the distance he deliberately maintains.
In her memory, it was not until they lived together that Elizabeth gradually could no longer find the lonely expression on Animusfia's face.
Thinking about it, both Ritsuka and the blond-haired emperor were probably having headaches because of his sense of distance.
"well."
Elizabeth sighed.
The pink pajamas turned into her usual clothes, and she slowly walked down the stairs wearing a black dress.
Sure enough... I still can't just leave him alone.
Under Animusfia's stunned expression, Elizabeth held her arm, and then kissed his lips gently.
"Didn't I say it, Ferenc? You can't show that expression in front of me again."
Only then did Nero and Ritsuka, who were quarreling, realize what happened.
"What------!"
The two of them turned their heads to look at Animusfia and Elizabeth, who were kissing each other.
