A full 12 hours have passed since Animusfia set the goal of searching for Hydra and Hercules, and finally discovered the temple that caused Hercules to defect to reveal the mystery of this singularity.
"Ha~~"
After sitting on the bow of the boat and watching the sun rise again from below the sea level, Ritsuka yawned helplessly.
"Senior, it's better to take a little rest."
Mashu, who was sitting next to her, said this after seeing a few tears squeezed from the corners of Ritsuka's eyes due to yawning.
"With ordinary people's physical fitness, it will really be detrimental to the subsequent battle if they are used up like this."
Arturia Alt also rarely walked up to Mash and Ritsuka and spoke.
"I also want to sleep..."
After glancing at Mash and Artoria who were half a step behind her, and then at Apollo and the kobold sleeping next to each other on the other side of the boat, the red-haired girl sighed in disappointment and said:
"Obviously my consciousness has been blurred, but how should I go to sleep after the sun has risen..."
"Then sleep with the sun in front of you. No matter what, people need sleep after all."
Standing up from the side of the boat righteously, Animusfia turned to look at Ritsuka while taking back the fishing rod.
And completely ignored Jason, who was forced to lie down on the other side because he stood up and moved, causing the center of gravity of the boat to become unstable. He fell heavily on the boat and got tangled with the fishing rod and line.
Originally, Animusfia did not want to squeeze into the small boat with Ritsuka and the others.
But even though he possesses the Spear of Ouranos, he only needs to use a little magic power to keep himself floating on the water all day and all night.
But the boat, which should be part of Apollo's treasure, was surprisingly strong. Even after he, Matthew and Jason got on the boat together, it was still very stable.
Animusfia was immediately embarrassed to refuse Ritsuka's invitation.
“You’ve been fishing all night, do you have the nerve to say that?!”
"If you always look up to me, your life will be shortened."
"Huh, aren't you afraid yourself?"
Animusfia did not answer, but nodded silently.
"... Director, you fished all night and didn't catch a single fish?"
"Strictly speaking, it's still there in the first half of the night."
Animusfia looked at the octopus, shrimps and crabs piled on the bottom of the small boat she was sitting on.
“Those can’t be considered fish, right?”
"Even if you catch a shoe, it doesn't count as an air force. If you can't understand the charm of fishing, you must not understand. Fish are just decorations————————"
Animusfia turned her head slightly and looked at Jason, who was still struggling with the fishing line entangled with him, but there was nothing behind him.
"And no matter what, I'm better than him."
"Hey! Don't just watch over there!"
"Shh, the kid is still sleeping. If you have a little bit of ethics, just keep quiet and tidy up yourself, Air Force guy."
With a slightly contemptuous look, he pointed at Apollo Animusfia on the other side of the boat and said this to Jason.
"Ma Xiu, have you noticed that the director has an inexplicable malice towards that Jason?"
Watching the interaction between Animusfia and Jason, Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered to Mashu in a low voice.
But none of this escaped Animusfia's ears.
However, Animusfia was completely unable to refute this point.
He did have some ill will towards Jason.
And compared to Ritsuka's confusion, Animusfia understood her ill intentions towards Jason more thoroughly.
It was not an inexplicable malice, but simply like magnets, like poles repeling each other.
He hated Jason the most...hated people like himself.
"I don't have an air force!"
"Is this the point?!"
After hearing Jason's words, Matthew said in confusion.
"Let's wait until you catch something."
Despite what he said, Animusfia still waved his hand and used magic power to help untie the fishing line wrapped around him.
"But the whole body exudes the atmosphere of a dead fish. Even if it is the same fish, it is unlikely to approach you. If you want to catch fish, it is better to change your atmosphere first."
"Isn't it the same for you? Haven't you hit a single shot since the middle of the night?"
"That's because all the creatures in the seawater have disappeared. It has nothing to do with my atmosphere."
"Yeah?"
"When I originally set sail, I thought I could have a big adventure like Pirates of the Caribbean, but in the end I just spent a night fishing on a small boat. Is this what you two call a sailing?"
After sighing deeply, Fujimaru Ritsuka complained with some dissatisfaction.
"Are you expecting something else?"
Jason and Animusfia said in unison.
"Seven people gathered around a small boat. After setting sail, they only slept and fished. This cannot be considered sailing at all! Rather than calling it sailing, it is better to be called distressed!"
"Indeed, if there is an unsinkable giant ship that can pass by now, I will definitely choose to get on it."
Animusfia nodded with deep understanding.
"Don't go up!..........Sigh......"
The sudden blur of consciousness made Ritsuka sigh again.
"Sure enough, you still can't hold on?"
Animusfia took a deep breath of the air, and the magic contained in it was richer than that of Rome and France, making him frown slightly.
I'm afraid Ritsuka's poor condition is also related to the increasing magic in the air.
Thanks to the contract with Mash and Saber, the gifts produced by Animusfiya and Chaldea, as well as the girl's own good physique, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not suffer from more serious discomfort at this unique point. reaction.
However, this is only the third singularity. The concentration of magic power in the air is bound to increase as the mystery of the singularity continues to rise.
In addition to the concentration of magic power, there was something else permeating the air, but Animusfia could not identify what it was.
And the inability to sleep peacefully that Ritsuka mentioned might not be entirely related to the sun rising completely.
"Senior, why don't I put up the shield, and you can rest behind it——"
Matthew stood up the cross-shaped giant shield in front of himself, then sat on the boat with a slight blush and patted his legs together.
"Is it really possible? But..."
The red-haired girl hesitated and looked in the direction of Animusfia.
"senior?"
"Is it possible that you...do you want me to come more than Matthew?"
"Ma Xiu's slender thighs that are tightly wrapped are indeed very attractive... but Director, you are good at coaxing girls to sleep, right?"
Saying this, Ritsuka threw Mash away and moved closer to Animusfia.
"You're talking about me as if I'm some kind of playboy."
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not!"
"The emperor often does this, right? Then it's okay for me to try..."
After just a few seconds of leaning on Animusfia's shoulder, Ritsuka fell into a deep sleep without even finishing her words.
It looked like she was more affected than she looked.
"you…….."
Looking at Ritsuka who had fallen asleep, Animusfia could only stop her words, and then under Mashu's complex and slightly stinging gaze, she slowly let the girl rest on her legs. above.
"Saturn"
After placing his hands on Ritsuka's eyes, dark light slowly emitted from Animusfia's hands.
Someone who also has complicated eyes is Jason.
His gaze still unsurprisingly made Animusfia feel uncomfortable.
"Why didn't you reject her like before?"
Jason stood next to Animusfia and looked down at him and asked.
"Why didn't you reject Medea from the beginning?"
"...That's right. I'm the least qualified to say this. Please forgive me."
After Jason fell into silence, there was a brief silence on the small boat heading somewhere.
