Chapter 9: Dreams
While Yagi Yukisai is working hard to repair the peculiarity and seek the holy crystal, what is Fujimaru Ritsuka doing?
The answer is, dreaming.
Yes, dreaming.
People dream.
Regarding dreams, many people believe that dreams have a meaning. There are dream interpreters in the East, who specialize in speculation through dreams, similar to divination. In the West, there are dreamcatchers, believing that this prop can capture nightmares and keep people sleeping.
There are also some experts and scholars who specialize in dreams to analyze people's deep consciousness through dreams.
In the occult, dreams are often associated with a particular occult meaning.
The most typical ones are probably the masters and servants.
In normal Holy Grail Wars, it occasionally happens that the Lord suddenly dreams one day about something completely unrelated to himself, and he is doing something completely unfamiliar in a completely unfamiliar background.
I am like a bystander, unable to connect with anything in the dream, and can only watch the dream happen.
Such dreams are often the [past] of the servant. Through the form of dreams, it is fed back to the master.
For example, it's like a cup of hot water, if you hold it for too long, your palms will be hot. After staying with the Servant for a long time, this kind of feedback will also appear.
However, Rika Fujimaru's situation is a little more strange.
First of all...... The location is the special point Fuyuki.
You can't go wrong with that.
Because, the smell of irritating smoke can be clearly smelled in the nasal cavity.
After burning asphalt, walls, and all sorts of debris, the air mixed with soot had a pungent sensation that almost suffocated.
In the field of vision, only the scorched black of the collapse, and the burning crimson, the white of the smoke became the only embellishment.
This is Fuyuki, no problem. The question is: why did she Rika Fujimaru dream of this?
"Oh? There's an interesting kid yet. β
A calm female voice.
The voice is slightly low, majestic and magnetic.
"I know your name. Rika Fujimaru ...... Right? β
With long dark purple hair and red eyes, Miaoman's body is wrapped in a close-fitting purple bodysuit, which is delicate and convex, and has a strong charm that even women can't help but look at a few more times. The armor on his body covers a pitiful amount, only the shoulder pads and boots are metal. In various games and animations, this kind of character must be agile.
Fujimaru Rika subconsciously stood up straight, a little at a loss.
The more I looked at each other, the more I realized: sure enough, I didn't know her.
Because, such a beauty will definitely have an impression, right?
She looked back and forth at each other...... Finally, eyes fell on the red gun in her hand.
That gun, even for a layman, could clearly feel the smell of slaughter.
And...... I always feel like I'm somewhere...... Seen similar weapons......
But I can't think of it.
"Huh? Why are you looking at me with such warm eyes? Oh, not at me, but at the gun? It's rare to have such an eye for weapons at your age. β
The woman holding the red spear seemed to be very happy, and with a lift of her wrist, the red blade instantly turned into a dancing red light, hovering like an interactive spirit snake on the side of her arm, and finally she grasped it firmly in her hand.
"It's not anything particularly worth mentioning, though. There is no legend of the forging of the gods. It's just an ordinary gun, a stick sharpened from the exoskeleton of a sea monster. How to ......"
The woman smiled slightly, and said with a slight hint of urgency: "Could it be that you are pretending to be looking at the gun, but you are actually peeking at me?" Is it the woman who met Ulster for the first time? β
Hearing her say this, Fujimaru Rika quickly turned her eyes away as if she was suspicious, and coughed dryly: "That, I, I'm Fujimaru Rika." From a place called Chaldeans! Excuse me, who are you? Where is this? β
As if frightened by her serious question, the woman raised her eyebrows, showed an interested expression, and said, "What do you say...... Indeed, I didn't bother to name myself. The soldiers knew who I was when they came to visit. Warcraft and the Fallen Gods can only challenge me in fear. Everyone knew who I was from the beginning and was in awe. Therefore, it is a long time since you asked my name without any prejudice. Well, I'll reply to you earnestly. β
The woman also stood up straight, the spear was erected by her side, and with a simple upright movement, the momentum of the charming body changed, and it instantly turned into the seriousness of a warrior, and it can even be said that it is the majesty of a king.
"I am something outside the world. Not old, no. It should be [some kind of being] that lasts forever. It's called Skaha. Lord of the Shadow Realm. β
"Shadow Country......
Fujimaru Rika vaguely felt as if she had seen this name somewhere, probably in the game. I've played with similar phrases from the PSP that Yukisai Yagi lent him before......
Her knowledge is really not up to par.
Skaha is an extremely famous character in Celtic mythology. The great hero of Celtic mythology, CΓΊ Chulainn, was his disciple. He practiced in the Land of Shadows, and as a congratulatory gift for his graduation, he received a crimson magic spear from his master, [Gabelga], and the real name of the Noble Phantasm's liberation was: Spear of Piercing Death Thorns.
Even the apprentices who have been taught are such big heroes, not to mention the level of the teacher.
As a servant, Skaha has extremely unconventional combat effectiveness. Not only spearmanship, but also magic, although not gods, but tempered to the limit of technology, enough to slaughter gods. She is a powerful servant with the power of the god-killing level.
"Well, don't just stand here. You see, the team that greeted us came. β
Skaha lifted his chin, and Fujimaru Rika looked over, it was a skeleton soldier wrapped in a faint black mist.
No matter how you look at it, it is the embodiment of death.
"Don't you fight? But he's going to die. β
Skaha didn't seem to meddle.
"Well, but, I'm not very good at fighting...... Magic, I haven't learned the magic of attacking yet......"
Rika Fujimaru grimaced.
Skaha smiled and said, "That's a bit unfair. Well, I'll help you. Come. β
Skaha drew symbols with her fingers on her chest, shoulders, and on top of her head.
In an instant, Fujimaru Rika only felt a tingling sensation all over her body, as if an electric current flashed, and she had goosebumps. Where the touch of overpower flows, the quality of the magic circuit is significantly improved.
"You are the master, and the ruler is your power. Come on. Try summoning the Servant. β
Fujimaru Rika nodded as if she didn't understand, and the skeleton soldiers in the distance had already pressed up.
At this time...... Compared to Matthew's shield...... It is more important to consider how to defeat a large army......
The spell on the back of her hand glowed crimson, and she didn't notice that her whole body was now glowing with a wonderful light.
These lights merge into the spell, and finally unfold a magic circle with her feet as the core.
"Wow, it's hot...... What the hell is this place. β¦β¦ Yo, Fujimaru. Good morning. β
There was no doubt that there was only one person in the whole of Chaldea who would joke with her in such a tone.
Yagi Yukisai.
The black-haired boy in a blue-blue swordsmanship suit, silver armor on the outside, and a holy sword in his hand was smiling at her with a cheerful smile.
