After consecrating Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu in front of many officials and soldiers, the army also began to embark on the road to the front line.
After the efforts of Animusphia, the western side of the Roman Empire under Nero had basically been recovered.
Thanks to the appearance of Elizabeth, the Magna Graecia and Sicily regions, which had originally held a wait-and-see attitude, were forced to resume contact with the city of Rome.
Although Spain below Gaul still had future provincial governors who raised high flags of rebellion against Nero, Galba, the first emperor in the "Year of the Four Emperors" who was first recognized by the Senate after Nero committed suicide, was a hidden bomb.
But now the reputation of Nero and Animusfia has reached its peak. Even if they are attracted by the "United Empire", Galba still dare not act rashly.
The African provinces of Africa and Mauritania should soon regain contact with the city of Rome after receiving Galba's message.
So the big enemy that can be seen at present can only be found in the large area behind the Rhine and Danube rivers.
Animusfia only hoped that the Germans and Slavs who originally lived in these areas would be forcibly occupied by the "United Empire".
In this way, they can get even more help.
The battlefield also officially came outside the Roman Empire, into the Black Forest where Octavian was defeated.
"Ritsuka, take Saber and Mashu to Gaul to support Boudica who is already stationed on the Rhine River. She is a heroic spirit summoned by restraint to manifest herself. There are also remaining troops from the last war there. If you can If so, try to establish a contract with her."
At the end of the Romagna First Army Corps, which had already set off towards the northeast, Animusfia warned her students.
He looked at Matthew, who was dressed as a passionate knight, and King Arthur Artoria, who was in reverse state.
"Well, that person is quite kind, and it's you——"
Animusfia meant something.
"There must be nothing wrong with building a good relationship."
"Why is it okay if it's us?"
Ritsuka asked doubtfully.
"After all, it was the victorious Queen Boudica who protected Britain from Rome, and here we have Miss Saber who also protected Britain."
Mash answered to his Master on behalf of Animusfia.
"Well, after all, after being passed down to later generations, the legend of King Arthur itself was more or less mixed with a lot of other characters, including but not limited to the stories of the humble King Vortigern and the King of the Wild Hunt, Herla. And. Boudicca, the Iceni queen who rebelled against Rome to protect Britain, is also being included, and you two may feel familiar after meeting each other."
"Ahem, now I am just a servant of the Master, a familiar, a tool, and a weapon. I am no longer a knight or a king, but just a sword for the Master."
Ms. Saber, who was not good at talking or smiling, retorted very seriously.
Animusfia heard these words from Saber Alter one after another when she first arrived in Chaldea.
Now it seems that she is not only telling others, but also constantly hinting to herself.
She wanted to make a change, but seemed to be on the wrong path to break with the past.
"No, since you manifested in this appearance with your own will, no matter how the colors of the armor and the holy sword change, you will always be you. The posture of King Arthur and the posture of this humble king are both the same. You are part of the girl named Artoria. Maybe your personality and behavior are different from before, but the most essential part of your heart has never changed——————”
He wouldn't be surprised if one day he found Arturia and her boyfriend sitting on a lion rocking car, happily tossing coins, and racing Animusfia on a truck carrying a mountain gate.
How can a person have only one side?
"Am I right? Miss Artoria."
Whether it is Artoria as the King of Knights, the slightly extreme Artoria Alter now, or the girl Artoria who fell in love, despite her different personalities and behaviors, her essence remains the same. They are all the "King Arthur" who wants to protect something.
The land and the people, the long-cherished wish that I want to fulfill and the person I love.
As long as she still has these things, Artoria will definitely not conflict with Boudica.
Artoria failed to answer the question from Animusfia, but her eyes lit up thoughtfully.
"You want to separate yourself from your previous self too much, Miss Artoria. Maybe King Arthur's final ending is bad, but that doesn't mean that everything she did is meaningless and wrong. It is true that you want to explore another possibility of yourself, so you appear like this——————”
Animusfia wanted to take this opportunity to express all the questions she had accumulated while observing Saber for a long time.
They probably won't see each other again for a long time.
"But you are no longer another possibility, Miss Saber, but are completely on the opposite side of yourself. As long as it is what you value, you have to despise it. Whatever you love, you You have to hate——————”
Animusfia paused, then continued:
"I am not a great person, and I may not be qualified to comment on you who have made outstanding achievements during your lifetime. However, I did find a problem."
"It's not okay to continue like this, Miss Artoria."
"And that sword probably won't respond to you anymore."
Although the Sword of Vow to Victory turned into darkness this time along with the reversed Arturia.
But it has always been a holy sword that only responds to Artoria, a Noble Phantasm that belongs exclusively to Artoria.
If Artoria continues to go to extremes like this, the Sword of Victory will not be able to perform at its best.
This was what Animusfia had foreseen.
Arturia tightly held the holy sword in her hand.
"The time is almost up. Please keep my last advice in mind. Whether it is the King of Knights or the Master's sword, it is one of the possibilities to be named Artoria Pendragon. There is no need to worry about this. You are restrained by your posture, just be yourself, Miss Arturia."
Artoria Alt nodded, indicating that she had Animusfiya in mind.
"That's good, and Saber is not the only one on our side who can negotiate with Boudica——————"
Animusfia looked at Mash who was looking at her Master seriously.
"Huh? Me?"
Matthew was very surprised.
"Well, the servant who left you with a spiritual base, although not many, must be somewhat related to Boudica. At least it can make her treat you warmly."
"So, does the director actually know who the heroic spirit possessing Mashu is?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Animusfia.
Animusfia nodded in disbelief and said at the same time:
"Saber must have noticed it a long time ago."
"Huh? Saber too?!"
Ritsuka looked at his servant in surprise again.
"Speaking of the time in Fuyuki City, Saber seemed to know Mashu's shield..."
Arturia also nodded silently.
"Then who is the real name of the spiritual base in Ma Xiu's body? Why didn't you say it even though you knew it?"
"Well, it makes sense for Mashu to find this kind of thing by himself."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have expected you to answer questions, Director."
Ritsuka sighed, looking like she had no hope for Animusfia.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's always a mystery to me."
"Director, you actually have a good relationship with the Joker and Penguin, right? So is that the same reason for Saber?"
"Well...let me tell you and Matthew, it's not impossible, but since that heroic spirit didn't choose to tell Matthew about her, he must have his own considerations."
"Alas, even Saber said that... Now it feels like I'm the only one who doesn't know."
Ritsuka half-knelt on the ground and complained with some dissatisfaction.
"It's okay, senior, neither the doctor nor I know."
Mashu comforted his Master very considerately.
