"Salvage? That means...you rescued me?"
Listening to Artoria's explanation, Fujimaru Ritsuka then put the short sword given to her by Animusfia back into its sheath with some hesitation.
After all, the wet Magic Association attire on his body and the drops of water on his hair couldn't fool anyone.
As a heroic spirit, Saber Alter was okay, but for Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was only slightly stronger than ordinary people, it was undoubtedly very dangerous to appear in the ocean and lose his consciousness as soon as the spirit was transferred.
From this point of view, the young man in front of me who salvaged himself is the same as——————
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the kobold standing next to the boy wearing a dark green military coat and a big-brimmed hat.
Kobold...
They shouldn't be enemies.
"That's it! But Wang Jiang and I are both very generous, so we won't ask for compensation from you. You can rest assured about that, big sister."
Wearing a white robe, which resembled the Greek costumes Ritsuka had seen in Rome, the boy wearing traditional Mediterranean sandals smiled brightly at Ritsuka.
Anyway, this pair plus the technologically advanced boat at their feet...
Ritsuka lowered her head again and stepped on the rather solid alloy sampan with her soles.
"Are you heroic spirits?"
"Woof——"
The kobold who had only barked once before barked again and nodded with a serious expression.
Can't speak? This guy.
The red-haired girl scratched her head and looked at the kobold in front of her.
"Wang Jiang said he is a heroic spirit."
The boy standing next to the kobold looked at the kobold and Ritsuka who were staring at each other and said energetically.
"Can you translate what he said?"
"Just listening to the barking sounds is actually not very good..."
The blond boy shook his head in distress.
But then he regained his previous vitality:
"But, I am also a heroic spirit! So I can communicate with Wang-chan through radio waves."
"Radio communication????"
The red-haired girl touched her head, but no matter how hard she thought about it, she never imagined what kind of radio communication the kobold in military uniform would have with this boy who looked like he was from Greece.
“Just like this——————”
The blond boy slowly floated up, and finally floated to a level with the tall kobold.
The kobold who saw him approaching subconsciously exposed his teeth that could easily crush bones. The lips and facial muscles around the teeth were also twitching.
However, it was obvious that the kobold had always restrained his instinct. Even if the boy finally put his hands on both sides of his temples, he still just bared his teeth.
"The radio wave will enter my mind from here."
As if imitating some kind of electric current, the blond boy's hands on both sides of the kobold's temples moved to his head.
"Saber, can you also conduct team chats between heroic spirits?"
Seeing this scene, Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around and asked Artoria Alter who was waiting beside him.
However, Artoria's face remained motionless as she rejected Ritsuka's question:
"Forgive me for not being able to complete such a task, Master."
"Hey, black big sister, you can't receive the radio wave either? I've obviously sent you a message...what a pity..."
Looking at the young man who was in despair, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"By the way, do you see Saber and I as the only two people around here? We have two companions."
"What do they look like?"
"Matthew, he is obviously a shy child, but he unexpectedly wears bold and sexy clothes, and holds a huge buckler. Director, he always wears a suit that covers himself tightly, except for In addition, his left hand is a mechanical prosthesis."
After hearing the description from Li Xiang, the young man thought about it for a long time with some trouble, and then said:
"Wang Jiang and I have never seen such a person. I'm sorry, big sister."
"It doesn't seem like it's around here..."
"No, maybe it's around here, big sister. After all, Wang Jiang and I came here not long ago, but it seems that my map needs to be updated. This place was supposed to be a mountain range, but it turned out to be a sea. ...Perhaps if you walk further towards the mountain peak, you can meet the person you are looking for."
"Mountains...the sea? Maybe it's because the time here is too early..."
After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it is not surprising that large areas of the ocean later turned into mountains.
As he spoke, Ritsuka also explained his identity and purpose to the kobold and the blond boy.
"Speaking of which--what are your real names?"
“Woof woof woof————”
"No...you don't have to..."
Ritsuka wiped the sweat from his head slightly and said to the unknown kobold.
"I am Apollo!"
"Apollo?!? Hey... can gods also become heroic spirits? Then isn't that Mr. Kobold Anubis?"
"No, Wang Jiang said he forgot his real name."
"Forgot? Can this kind of thing be forgotten?"
"Well, actually I have forgotten a lot of things. Apart from the fact that my name is Apollo, I don't have any other memories."
