"…………………………"
"…………………………………………"
Animusfia, who was determined to stand up and stop all this, looked up at the girl who was about to speak but hesitated, and then said:
"What's wrong? Ritsuka."
"………………"
"Speak? You have something to say, right?"
"Yes, there is..."
I saw Ritsuka's knees moving inwards, and then she rubbed the corners of her clothes coquettishly, causing Animusfia's eyes to uncontrollably focus on the girl's hands again, and then towards Moving down, past the pitch-black skirt, she came to the pantyhose that revealed Ritsuka's original skin color.
Animusfia, who noticed that she had lost her composure, quickly turned her head and coughed.
"Director, hey, were you watching just now?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who also noticed Animusfia's eyes, took the opportunity to change his shy attitude and smiled at Animusfia.
"No, not at all."
"Staring at the ground and saying something like that is not convincing at all."
"Ha, actually this is what I did deliberately to allow you to speak freely. How about it, it works very well."
Seeing that she could no longer defend herself, Animusfia chose to take advantage of the situation and make a noble move for herself.
"Hey, then I really want to thank you very much, Director."
"Yes, thank me."
"You are so shameless."
"Thank you, you're welcome."
Ritsuka, who was speechless for a moment, looked at Animusfia with a strange look.
This was one of the few times when she lost a fight with Animusfia.
But the fact that the director who always prided himself on being noble was finally willing to admit that he couldn't take his eyes away from her body made her particularly happy.
However, compared to the emotional happiness, harsher impulses were about to dominate Ritsuka's mind, so she could only ignore this for the time being.
Animusfia usually calls this impulse, the call of nature.
"Let's go, I will help you change the terrain a little. If you go behind the 'God of Death', Jason and Apollo won't see it. But for this kind of thing, ask Matthew or Saber to accompany you. Wouldn’t it be better to go together?”
After standing up, Animusfia took Ritsuka's hand very naturally, and then prepared to walk behind the dead Oceanos.
However, Ritsuka blushed again after Animusfia's words and stood still.
"This doesn't look like you, isn't it that kind of thing?"
"So...so what?"
Blushing didn't solve the problem, so Ritsuka finally spoke to Animusfia in a voice as small as a mosquito.
"It doesn't matter. Apart from privacy issues, we really can't let you disappear from everyone's sight at the moment. Although Mash and Saber may be the best solution, you might as well come to me. It's not a bad thing. decision making."
Patting the girl on the head, Animusfia pretended to be calm and said to her.
"Oh yeah."
Jason, who noticed their movements, whistled and teased them.
"Can't you bear it anymore? It's so loving————"
But then Jason shut his mouth under the threat of the double gazes of Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Phew, so stingy.
Even though they had that kind of relationship, they still didn't let others tease them. He and Medea had been used as targets of ridicule by the members of the Argonauts for a long time.
Even if Jason expressed strong dissatisfaction at that time, Medea, who only blushed and used her hands to show her face, could only make Jason's attitude less serious.
Medea, who did not say anything to stop her, even showed an attitude of being happy to see others making fun of her.
Looking back now, all the embarrassing jokes I felt at that time have become precious memories.
But the memory of traveling with the crew has been Jason's most precious treasure from the beginning.
Looking at Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka who had gone away, Jason could only curl his lips in loneliness.
Still very young.
"Neptune"
With a flick of his finger, the temple floor behind Oceanus's body slowly shook under the magic power of Animusfia, and then a crack was created while part of the ground was lifted.
It had been several hours since they had arrived here under the shock of Hercules' shooting.
During this period, Animusphia, Apolloason and others recognized that the huge dead god in front of them was the god who symbolized the ocean in Greek mythology, Typhon Oceanus, and that he died of someone. There was no further progress after the Moon God.
But since it was the moon god that Apollo knew well, Artemis should be the only one who didn't run away.
But why did that god have such hatred for humans and Zeus, the father of Hercules?
To say that Artemis, the goddess of the moon, who once fell in love with a human - Orion, wanted to destroy humans, Animusfia just found it unbelievable from beginning to end.
But the fact is here.
Even Jason later agreed with Apollo that Oceanus died because of the moon god.
Although he still doubts Apollo's true identity.
There are still many mysteries in this singularity.
Animusfia leaned on the wall she created with Neptune magic, listening to the faint sound of water coming from Ritsuka behind the wall, and silently meditated.
"Don't listen!"
"I've already seen it all, right? It doesn't matter if I just listen to it."
"Ah! Sure enough, Director, you were awake that night!"
"So what if I wake up? I was like my whole body was wrapped in plaster. I couldn't do anything I wanted to do."
"But watch it!"
"Well, that's one hundred and five thousand."
"Don't count!"
Listening to the screams coming from behind the wall, Animusfiya raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"But it's not like I can see it if I want to. You're the one who ran into someone else's bed without thinking about it, right?"
On the other side of Oceanus's body, Jason frowned and stared at the red-faced Matthew who was sitting there trying to ignore the words coming from the other side.
At the same time, the kobold whom Apollo called Number Two also stretched out two furry fingers and stuck them in the ears of Apollo, who was looking at him curiously and innocently.
At this time, Apollo was still wondering what it was that he couldn't listen to.
"that…………"
"Please say nothing, Mr. Jason. I heard nothing."
In the dim temple, Mashu's face was filled with a layer of pink fluorescence that was very counterintuitive.
Turning the perspective back to Animusfia, after finally getting the information that Oceanus died of the Moon God, Animusfia, who had no other progress, could only choose to stay here. Continue to rest in the temple.
After the continuous fierce battle, even Artoria and him couldn't help but feel exhausted both physically and mentally.
No matter what, at least they need a break today.
"So why do they declare war on humans and other gods?"
Listening to the question from behind the wall, Animusfia raised her eyes and said:
"It seems that my previous words did not impress you too much. Well, let's just talk about it directly. The relationship between these gods who are almost personifications of the concept of nature and the Greek gods we are familiar with is not harmonious."
"Ah, I remember this, but I still can't understand it. Why does such a thing happen? It's better to say that there are too many gods in Greek mythology? It is obvious that one god can solve the problem, but three gods have to solve it. One or even four gods can solve it."
"Well, this kind of thing is not a problem that you and I can solve. But if we put aside the causes and talk about the results - even the records of the Greek concept of nature God itself have a sense of fragmentation, as if... ………… Let’s give an example like this:
You, who was originally named Fujimaru Ritsuka, woke up one day and suddenly discovered that another Master named Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared in Chaldea. You didn't know where he came from, but he was perfect. Replaced all the roles you played before, even the name was inherited...
And even worse things happened after that. Let the Master of Group A, Kadok-kun, who is still frozen in the cold storage, appear in a friendly role. He arrived with Shin Fujimaru Ritsuka and was finally determined to overthrow Shin Fujimaru. Ritsuka ruled and defeated Shin Fujimaru Ritsuka, so the title of Master of Chaldea came to Kadoc. "
"Are Artemis, Zeus, and Apollo the characters of Caddoc, and Oceanus here is my character? But it's really strange. Where should I go to find the one who can perfectly replace me? As for Shin Fujimaru Ritsuka, in other words, can the position of the gods be replaced so easily?"
"That's an unsolved mystery. These are actually my own inferences, and there is no conclusive evidence. Just like string theory, the facts may be completely opposite, but not necessarily. This is just a reasonable explanation. It’s just a hypothesis, after all, no other mythology in the world is as fragmented as Greek mythology.”
Animusfia said while gently patting the hands that had climbed up in front of her and hugged him at some point.
He decided to minimize close contact with the girl.
Recently, Animusfia has begun to study the relationship between close contact and increased liking.
Perhaps his ambiguous relationship with the Roman emperor began when he failed to curb the emperor's almost unlimited desire for close contact.
"No, my legs are numb."
The girl refused Animusfia's refusal.
"well."
"So why was Oceanus killed by his companions?"
"I don't know, I'm not a magical conch...but the flooding outside must have something to do with him. Maybe it's a necessary step to destroy mankind."
"That's too heartless."
"After all, they are gods, and they are different from humans."
"Heracles too?"
"It's hard to tell whether that guy is a friend or an enemy. We have to wait until we meet again."
The girl who forced herself to be "carried" by Animusfia rubbed his hair and said teasingly:
"No matter what, you are actually only the director's enemy, right?"
"Hmph, I'm not alone, Apollo. The orthodox gods also disagree."
Animusfia raised the corner of her mouth and said proudly.
Seeing Animusfia like this, Ritsuka shook her head helplessly.
"It's only at this time that you regard him as a god."
After a pause, Fujimaru Ritsuka then talked about the oracle revealed by Hercules:
"Only light can defeat the moon. Now that we know the existence of the god of the moon, our hope should be placed on Apollo. Why did Hercules choose to fight alone, even at the cost of taking away Apollo's Noble Phantasm? Woolen cloth?"
"...I'm afraid, Hercules thinks of himself as 'light'."
"Eh?"
"I have said the same thing. The Hercules here is not simply the Hercules in Greek mythology. I am afraid it also includes the gods of eloquence Ogmeos and Philippe in Celtic mythology. Melqart, the Baal god (lord) of Tyre in the Niki mythology, where they were regarded as Heracles.”
It is worth mentioning that the “Creator” of Christianity is actually derived from the Baal God (Lord) system in Phoenician mythology.
Each city that believed in Phoenician mythology had a different Baal god, and Jehovah was one of them.
"What does that have to do with light?"
"Except for the chain on his tongue, the most prominent feature of Ogmeos is the wheel in his hand that symbolizes the sun and his skin that is tanned by the sun. Melkat has been the god of the sun from the beginning. He existed, and was later given the responsibility of a sea god like the protector of sailors. ——————In other words, Hercules is fully qualified to become the sun god. I am afraid that Apollo’s Noble Phantasm is just the icing on the cake. .”
Animusfia frowned and said.
"...Well, Director, when you say this, it seems that he really has a chance to defeat the god of the moon, but the only bet on our side is Apollo. We really don't want to fight with Hercules. Cooperate?"
Faced with the girl's words, Animusfia sighed.
This was the last thing he wanted to talk about.
Because Animusfia has no good reason to do this, and the current predicament is almost entirely caused by him.
As long as she cooperates with Hercules, Chaldea will never be stuck in the temple of Delphi.
"Indeed, working with Heracles has a greater chance of defeating the moon god who has not yet been revealed——————but, compared to seeing him come to save humanity, I would rather I can see that you are here to save me, Ritsuka."
Carrying her soft body with negligible weight behind her back, Animusfia said without looking back.
Intuition cannot be used as an excuse.
It doesn’t make sense to say that I intuitively felt that Heracles could not save humanity.
"Director, that statement is illegal————"
It didn't take Animusfia to guess Ritsuka's expression at this time.
He seemed to have an unusually high number of victories today.
Feeling great.
"Don't you like it? By the way, I'm going to be in front of everyone, why don't you come down?"
Animusfia, who was about to bypass the body of Oceanus and return to the crowd, asked the girl behind her.
"Never."
