Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Don't get cocky, Elizabeth will definitely be wearing gorgeous clothes that you'll all be ashamed of in a moment!

Even so, the chat lasted very short, because it ended very quickly...

As the Holy Grail was retrieved, a faint glow rose beneath Mash's feet, and her body gradually became transparent... This means—

"Yes, we successfully retrieved the Holy Grail, which means... Miss Nero, we can no longer stay in this world."

The time to say goodbye has come.

“My senior and I will return to Chaldea in the future, while the other Servants will return to the Throne of Heroes,” Mash explained.

"Hmm... I see. So, does that mean the lively scene is now just me all alone? Ritsuka, Mashu... and all of you, are you all leaving me? Even Fou..."

The small white beast crept stealthily to his feet.

He looked at Nero cautiously.

"I see... You are... Hmm, I see."

Nero glanced at the adorable little body of Fou and then gave her a knowing wink.

"I'm counting on you for Ritsuka and the others, oh..."

"Fu~Fu~!"

Fufusan casually pretended to be stupid.

“A cunning fellow… well… whatever.” Nero scratched the back of his head. “Since that’s how it is, there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m truly honored to fight alongside you… but your battle will likely continue. Well, that can’t be helped…”

Nero reached out and grabbed the group that was about to leave.

"Rome will live on forever. It will change its form and territory, but no matter what, even if humanity forgets its name one day, the seed planted by Rome will continue."

The survival and development of human civilization, the indomitable spirit, and the preservation of human history are essential for a truly [Eternal Empire]!

"Moreover... I know that I will become a Heroic Spirit... and will manifest in the world as a Servant in the future, so—"

"I will not say goodbye, but rather express my gratitude to you. Therefore, I offer roses as a token of my thanks for your future paths!"

"Then let Nero witness this..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a thumbs up.

"Our last battle as humankind."

"Hmm! I will stay here and watch over things, so Ritsuka, please go without worry!"

She will definitely win.

Nero knew it without even thinking.

As long as Rome exists, humanity will never perish.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash disappeared... At the same time, Servants summoned by the Holy Grail or by the Earth also disappeared.

On this scorched earth, the lonely girl watched silently as everyone left, leaving her all alone to return to the capital city called Rome.

"Is it over..."

Nero murmured to herself, "Ritsuka and the others will embark on a journey in another era."

"Their journey has only just begun."

"However, for me..."

"Well..."

As the sun sets, I have a premonition.

At some point in the future... alone as he faces the setting sun, Nero will reach the end of his life.

"Is this the end of one battle, or the beginning of another?"

Chaldea.

"Ahhhh!"

When Leonardo da Vinci hurriedly came out of the workshop and rushed to the central control room, everything was already over.

With the Holy Grail recovered and the Singularity concluded, the Second Singularity is considered cleared.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This is [me]!"

"This is undoubtedly me!"

Although the painting is clumsy and the technique is immature, the fiery passion it evokes is both awe-inspiring and terrifying... According to Leonardo da Vinci's description, this is like wearing several layers of clothing on a hot summer day, turning the room's heating up to the maximum, and eating udon noodles while walking to school.

It's simply unacceptable.

"I'm a pervert! Because I'm a pervert, I can understand!"

Da Vinci said, somewhat defensively.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this well-known fact. Leonardo DiCaprio showing his own portrait is not something to be praised!" Dr. Roman comforted him, adding fuel to the fire.

"You do not understand!"

"Of course I don't understand, I'm not a pervert..." Dr. Roman spread his hands innocently, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Forget it, I'll just wait for Ritsuka-chan... Anyway, all you do is nag and ramble on and on."

Da Vinci's rationality is about to evaporate.

She held in her hands a Mona Lisa pen, its strokes brimming with anger.

It was also the root of her anger and breakdown; it was as if this painting showed her the truth of this false world!

This world contains both genuine and counterfeit items.

If it's just a regular forgery, it's not a big deal, no matter how similar it is to the original... but true falsehood can never surpass truth—that's the point.

However... it's different for forgeries that are not ordinary.

When a forgery takes a path that is uniquely "my" own, is this forgery real or fake?

This leads to a very serious question.

—On the canvas, which is incongruous with the meticulous painting, there is crooked and twisted French writing that looks like dog crawling, neither ancient nor modern.

It looks like indescribable scribbles.

However, it's still possible to discern what it actually means.

—Da Vinci was just a lousy painter, what did he know about the Mona Lisa!

Chapter 73 A Chance Encounter with a Fraudster in a Counterfeit Singularity

After the second singularity

Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to Chaldea.

As her ability to materialize imagination became more and more proficient, Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to open up the realm of imagination materialization in Chaldea without any loss... In other words, Director Olga Marie was able to appear in Chaldea in a spirit form.

congratulations.

Since the director is in a state that is unobservable, untouchable, and undefinable, in theory, if she were to appear, everything would be over.

It will disappear in an instant.

However, things are different when Fujimaru Ritsuka returns to Chaldea.

However, there is one good thing... that is, Olga Marie seems to be able to survive in Fujimaru Ritsuka's Chaldea!

In other words, Chaldea can now open a branch in Fujimaru Ritsuka's territory!

However, there was also bad news: Olga Marie's say in the manifestation of the fantasy Chaldea was not up to her.

She looks like a director, she acts like a director, she's a director even when she's being astringent, but...

Hmm! Because in Chaldea, the idiot director's word doesn't count!

The unruly Servants completely ignored Olga Marie's words, treating them as nothing more than whispers in the wind.

However, to celebrate Director Olga Marie's return, everyone still made a concerted effort to prepare a simple celebration banquet that included the successful capture of the Second Singularity and Director Olga Marie's return.

The celebration began with Dr. Roman's words, "Director, you're not dead?" followed by a brutal beating from a celestial mage, and ended with the strawberry cake being completely consumed... The resource-scarce Chaldea ultimately decided to open up some small singularities to obtain supplies.

For example, selling certain costumes to one world to obtain valuable resources, or selling items from one singularity to another and earning a profit from the price difference... In order to maintain the last bastion of human history, such methods have become unavoidable.

Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa gown is naturally one of the least popular designs.

However, recently a large number of evil Mystic Codes, intended to harm her, suddenly flowed out from a certain singularity.

Her initial suspicion was that Michelangelo's move was simply too ruthless.

But then I thought about it, and realized that Michelangelo's paintings couldn't possibly be that rough.

That must be some inherently evil little devil, jealous of the talent of her great and omnipotent self!

Ignoring all advice, she summoned Fujimaru Ritsuka, the foremost Master in Chaldea!

Private room.

"Princess, could you please demonstrate that again? What exactly is the materialization of imagination...?"

As Fujimaru Ritsuka's chief servant, Mash temporarily set aside the controversy and consulted the princess about matters concerning the True Ancestors, especially those related to [Imagination Manifestation].

"Simply put, it's the ability to change the world according to one's imagination, a kind of creation out of nothing. Generally speaking, only nature can be changed... but in fact, man-made things can be imitated."

Mashu nodded thoughtfully: "I understand... because humans are also part of nature, so man-made objects are, in a way, creations of nature... then I..."

“Your situation is rather special. Let me be frank: although you were an experimentally created Demi-Servant, you are still human at heart. After becoming a Dead Apostle, you should naturally have your own domain.”

"And the conclusions you can draw from your own inner 'questions' will allow you to gradually take control of the world around you—this is what is known among the Dead Apostles as the 'Principle Blood Ring,' which you can temporarily understand as a 'property barrier' unique to the Dead Apostle species."

"However, in any case... the first thing you must do is look directly into your own heart. Don't make decisions based on 'somewhere' that transcends yourself, but judge things as the being of 'Mash Kyrielight'."

"Hmm...from my own perspective...but..."

Just as Mashu was deep in thought, an urgent sound suddenly rang out, followed by an alarm from the central control room!

"That sound is... a rendezvous command! I'm sorry, Princess, thank you for your explanation. However, I have to go on a mission soon, so I apologize and must take my leave."

Mashu quickly bowed and said.

"It's nothing. If you have something to do, you can go ahead and do it."

The princess nodded, then very stiffly turned on the computer, stretched out two slender fingers, and slowly typed on the keyboard.

I'm terrible with computers.

But we've only just returned from the Second Singularity, and we're already back in battle?

Ritsuka...she's really busy.

While sighing like this, she fiddled with the computer, hoping that the princess wouldn't turn from a pampered young lady into a hardcore otaku.

Mashu, on the other hand, jogged all the way to the central control room.

There, Leonardo da Vinci was incessantly listing the countless crimes committed by the pirated costumes, wishing she could go to the Minor Singularity right now and tear the culprits to pieces.

"They must be demons plotting to destroy the world!"

Leonardo da Vinci was filled with righteous indignation.

"Uh, sorry I'm late. What did I do to make Da Vinci so angry?"

Mashu swiped open the door and jogged over to ask.

"Someone is counterfeiting the Mona Lisa, which is affecting my earnings and has caused my dress sales to drop by 90%!"

"It's because you sold it for too high a price..." Dr. Roman complained.

"What?" Da Vinci raised his voice.

"No...it's nothing, just a trivial matter..."

"Irrelevant?! You dare say irrelevant?! This is everything to me! Romani, activate the spirit transfer device immediately, I'm going to handle this personally!"

"Da Vinci said sullenly."

"Um...I understand." The doctor shrank back weakly.

Mashu's face darkened: "Doctors are so weak."

What a disgrace! Can someone like that really be competent for the position of acting director of Chaldea?

It makes one miss Miss Olga Marie.
