"What's the use of apologizing to me... You almost killed everyone!"
"Karika and the others possess the pure blood of True Ancestors... even in the sky..."
Pfft!
It fell into the water, splashing up waves.
Fujimaru Ritsuka's body tumbled in the seawater.
My skin is getting whiter and whiter.
His eyes were getting redder and redder.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just undergone the spirit transfer, showed an extremely painful expression. She bit her lip, her face was deathly pale... She floated and rolled in the ocean like a corpse.
Glug glug glug
Fujimaru Ritsuka sank down.
"My senior is dying! Dr. Roman... Dr. Roman, hurry, what should we do!"
Mash's anxious voice came through the communication.
"No, what's going on?" Dr. Roman finally panicked.
Fujimaru Ritsuka is Chaldea's only available fighting force. If something happens to her, then humanity is truly doomed!
We can't exactly send those dozens of popsicles from the control room to transfer the spiritual energy, right?
"Princess, what's going on... Didn't you say Ritsuka wouldn't be afraid of flowing water?"
"I did say I wasn't afraid, and I'm not afraid at all."
The princess, who was taking small bites of ice cream, paused slightly and explained.
"That's not fear. Vampires' abilities are greatly weakened when they come into contact with seawater, and..."
The princess pointed at the screen: "That's drowning. How can you not understand something so obvious? Is this really how you become a doctor?"
"Drowning... Oh, it's just drowning, so it's not a big problem."
Dr. Roman breathed a sigh of relief.
""
"Hey, doctor...isn't drowning even worse?!"
Mashu raised her shield to block the crashing seawater, gritting her teeth as her whole body trembled with cold.
A fierce wind howled, the sky and earth changed color, and the distant booming of cannons could be faintly heard. The entire ocean roared and howled like a god.
Mash used her Noble Phantasm and the power of the [Guardian] principle to hold back the raging waves.
"Seriously... I can't help it~~ I really don't want to transform at this time, but it's for my Master!"
Inherent skill - Transformation (Dragon Transformation)!
The girl waved her folding fan, her alluring white stockings rubbing her legs, and after a flash of magical light...
It transformed into a round, plump snake tail!
"Gulu gulu gulu"
Even though Fujimaru Ritsuko's perfume is passable, it has no choice but to gurgle along with the waves at times like this.
Kiyohime used her chubby tail to curl Fujimaru Ritsuka up like a flower roll, and then beckoned Mash to come onto her back.
Hua la la la~~
Kiyohime struggled fiercely and finally found an island made of reefs.
The island is full of cliffs and precipices, and the damp moss and lichens give off a strong fishy smell.
Fujimaru Ritsuka lay on the beach, her tummy rumbling and her body feeling cold.
Our senior has drowned! Although he is physically fine, the current situation is extremely urgent for everyone.
She kept pressing on Fujimaru Ritsuka's lower abdomen, causing all the water in her round belly to gush out.
"Well..."
Kiyohime cautiously and stealthily approached Fujimaru Ritsuka.
—When it comes to rescuing a drowning person, wouldn't artificial respiration be the most common method?
That's right. As long as it's artificial respiration, it will naturally save the Master from drowning.
Kiyohime, with her striking red eyes and beautiful smile, carefully pressed her lips close to Fujimaru Ritsuka's.
"Master, let Kiyohime offer you a kiss to awaken the princess~~"
"Stop...stop it! What are you doing to your senior's lips, Kiyohime-san! This is too much!" Mashu quickly waved her arms to stop Kiyohime from continuing her wicked schemes!
"Didn't we agree that we couldn't run away?!"
"Where did I run away?! What's wrong with giving CPR to a drowning person?! Seawater weakens vampires' powers, so Mashu would be powerless too~~ So it's my job to protect Master right now, what's wrong with that?!"
With a wave of her folding fan, Miss Kiyohime spoke righteously.
"And you always place your hopes on your Master! You never think that even though your Master possesses the power of a True Ancestor, her soul still belongs to humanity... She can also be hurt and feel pain, and she also needs care!"
"Haven't you noticed that every time Master says 'I'm fine' or 'It's okay,' he's lying?! Master is actually very scared inside!"
Even if one possesses the power of a True Ancestor, when fighting against Servants whose spirits far surpass those of humans, one will undoubtedly be injured, bleed, and have bones dislocated.
Although it will recover due to the power of the True Ancestor, it will still hurt in the end.
""
"Besides, it's Master's own will to save humanity, so why do you always make such demands of her?"
Kiyohime's expression darkened, and she revealed a sinister smile.
"If you don't care about your Master... then once we get the Holy Grail, we'll create a tiny singularity here, open a shop, and grow old together. As for kids... well, we'll have at least a football team! Hehehe..."
"No, no, you're Chaldea's Master, you can't..." Mash weakly protested.
"I might as well quit and not try to save her." Kiyohime turned her head away and muttered to herself.
"Resign and come back to the Starry Sea with me. Hmm... Ritsuka must stay in the Starry Sea, stay for me." The princess said firmly, "Since humanity has become extinct, as an important sample for the Star's research on humanity, Fujimaru Ritsuka must stay with me."
"Ahhh...you really don't care about the survival of humanity at all."
Dr. Roman looked at this so-called "Star Brain Body" lady and scratched the back of his head, somewhat at a loss.
"Hmm. The survival of the planet is more important to me, but humanity... I'll lend a hand if I can save it, but if not, I'm fine with waiting for the next generation of primates to be born. After all, humans wouldn't care about the survival of a beautiful rock by the roadside, right? The True Ancestor is the same."
But one has to do with the gems they cherish.
So that's how it is... He really is a strange person who's hard to get along with.
Dr. Roman sighed softly.
Fujimaru Ritsuka is really being harassed by a bunch of troublesome guys!
"Cough...cough...uh...ah~~!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka coughed twice.
He sat up abruptly, and then, with a "whoosh," he vomited up the bitter, salty seawater.
Chapter 82 Don't call everyone an Abisha, Old Deng
"Ugh...the sea...water...it's so scary...Wow~~!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka turned pale and spat out the bitter, salty seawater.
A tiny hermit crab slowly moved on her head, then used its pincers to grab strands of hair and glittering dandruff and stuff them into its mouthparts.
"I hate...I hate going into the sea!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka complained, panting, spitting out a lot of bitter, salty water, and a small red octopus was slowly moving on the ground.
She felt a chill all over her body, as if a dozen pieces of dry ice were pressed against her skin.
It's really painful.
But there was nothing she could do... Seeing the flowing seawater, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but think of her deceased great-grandmother.
This was the first time in history... Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had gained power, felt so close to death. An unprecedented fear surged into her heart, and her legs trembled and she could no longer muster any strength.
"Senior, are you okay?"
"I am fine."
Mashu and Kiyohime exchanged a glance. She then went over to ask Fujimaru Ritsuka a question, and then exchanged another glance with Kiyohime.
Kiyohime shook her head.
The gesture made with the arm.
"Don't push yourself. Your senior seems to be in really bad shape."
"Let me help you up, senior."
Mashu helped Fujimaru Ritsuka up faster than Kiyohime.
"Master...please be honest when you're not feeling well, okay? Kiyohime doesn't like lying. If Master keeps lying to me~~"
Kiyohime spoke very seriously to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"I can breathe fire and burn my lover to death if they lie and run away!"
very scary!
Fujimaru Ritsuka instinctively trembled all over.
But...yes!
This is it!
This is it!
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly clapped her hands, then put her arm around Kiyohime's shoulder and said excitedly, "Fire...that's right, Kiyohime, please make me a fire!"
"Eh--?!"
Kiyohime's eyes turned into mosquito coils because of Fujimaru Ritsuka's enthusiasm.
However, Kiyohime's Samadhi Fire was truly effective. In no time, she had lit a small fire, and the warm flames warmed people's hearts.
"Phew...that feels so much better~~"
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt much better, at least psychologically, as she warmed herself by the fire.
On the other side, Dr. Roman looked at the princess with a puzzled expression.
"Um, didn't you say Ritsuka shouldn't be afraid of seawater...?"
""
"Princess?"
"I'll head back to my room now. Please allow me to take my leave for now."
"Um, so what exactly happened?"
Dr. Roman scratched the back of his head, puzzled.
He couldn't quite understand this Earth Princess's thought process. Although he knew she definitely wasn't interested in saving humanity, Fujimaru Ritsuka should be her comrade, right?
Miss Princess walked out of the central control room.
At this moment, her tense, expressionless posture suddenly relaxed.
"Why?!"
It turns out that Fujimaru Ritsuka, who inherited the blood of the true ancestor, did indeed develop a fear... but she herself clearly doesn't have the slightest fear of the ocean, does she?
So, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who inherited her constitution, shouldn't be afraid of seawater.
What is going wrong?
Actually, it's not a problem at all. The so-called fear will spontaneously adjust its expression according to the different characteristics of different people.
(Just like the author Yiqi VI, Chapter 13 (II), who, despite never having seen a Homo erectus, felt fear and dread upon mentioning such a humanoid species.)
Therefore, it's quite normal for some members of the True Ancestors to be afraid of flowing water, while others aren't.
