In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

"I just didn't expect Athena to have such leisure time."

"Didn't expect that?" Atalanta's tail curled into a small question mark.

"Yeah." Ian nodded.

"After all, isn't Athena always called the goddess of war? Shouldn't other gods be in charge of shipbuilding?"

In fact, this was not what Ian really thought.

He simply recalled Athena's true form - a giant mecha goddess capable of wielding a mechanical spear.

If He were to help build a ship...

Uh--

It seems a little bit strange.

"You do have some truth in what you said," Atalanta murmured softly, "but that's what Jason told us - this is what Athena gave him, a gift from her."

"..."

Feeling that this was not something that should be explored at this time, Ian quickly ended the topic and asked other questions:

"If that's the case—"

"Atalanta, why do you think Ritsuka would go looking for that ship?"

"You...have never seen her?"

It's not that Ian made this up.

After all, during the period in the first singularity, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Atalanta could be said to have missed each other perfectly.

"I really don't know her."

"But..." Atalanta's eyes fell on the Holy Grail in front of everyone, "I recognize this thing."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Atalanta's words caused the four people present to fall into silence.

Ian, who was the first to react, quickly spoke for everyone and continued to ask:

"You mean... Could it be that Jason also has a Holy Grail?"

"Yes." Atalanta nodded. "You are right."

"That's why I was summoned."

"If that girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka is really looking for the Holy Grail, I think the Argo might be her destination."

"Of course, how she knew and how she learned the location of the Argo is unknown to me."

"..."

Combining the previous words, Ian knew that what Atalanta revealed at this moment was her own inner voice.

It is indeed very likely that Fujimaru Ritsuka is heading to the Argor, which holds another Holy Grail.

"I understand."

"If this is really the case, we must catch up immediately."

"Otherwise... I don't know what problems I'll encounter later."

Having said that, although the target became the Argor, which Atalanta mentioned was slightly larger than the Golden Deer, it was not an easy task to find it in the breathtakingly huge Oceanus Sea.

Not to mention the transportation needed during this period.

But at this moment——

Drake suddenly slapped the deck at his feet and shouted:

"Decided!"

"Then let's change the current route and go find the ship called 'Argo' first!"

Everyone was shocked.

Because Drake's words were tantamount to saying that she was willing to help.

"Hey, hey, hey!" The female captain responded to the looks from others with considerable displeasure.

"What's your attitude? As an explorer, if you know that other people's ships are more powerful than yours, isn't it normal for you to want to go and find out what's going on?"

"But Miss Drake, you look like you have other things you want to do, right?" Mash replied carefully, her tone so cautious, as if she was afraid of touching the other person's reverse scale.

"This one……"

There was a barely perceptible purpose flashing in Drake's eyes. Although Ian noticed it, he did not expose him.

"I understand." As the absolute opinion leader among the girls, the man quickly made a decision.

"In that case——"

"Then please."

This was not a response made on impulse.

When sailing on the sea, it would naturally be more convenient to have a good ship.

But if you think about it this way—

Fujimaru Ritsuka is surprisingly strict with other people...

With Mordred involved, Drake actually had no idea what Fujimaru Ritsuka was trying to do.

"What about you guys?" With Ian's support, the female captain was obviously more confident.

"I--"

“I won’t force others to do something they don’t like.”

"But you didn't leave me a second choice, right?" Nero glared at Drake. It was obvious that she didn't like the female captain in front of her very much.

but--

She likes Ian.

Since he has made this decision, I won't make any more trouble.

"Forget it, I have no objection."

"Neither do I." Mashu responded, and then continued, "Please, Captain Drake, please help us find Ritsuka."

"Well, I support it." Atalanta replied lightly.

“Okay—!”

Drake is still that generous and generous person.

"Then you have to help as sailors."

"Just in time to give my brothers a break."

Set sail

set sail--

Drake's Golden Hart set out on a journey to find the Argol.

Late at night on the same day.

On the empty deck, Atalanta was clasping her hands together, muttering something silently.

The bright moonlight descended from the sky and fell on her like a piece of white gauze. The cold sea breeze swept across her face with a bit of night, but it failed to change the sincerity of the little cat girl.

It was unknown how long Atalanta had been reciting like this before she opened her eyes again. Her beautiful green eyes stared at the sea reflecting the moon, as if filled with unspeakable worry.

But at this moment, the little cat girl heard a familiar voice coming from behind her.

"Are you done praying, my little pet?"

"Eh?"

Atalanta turned around and saw Ian standing there.

Tonight's moonlight also fell on him, making his face look a little whiter like snow.

"Master...why are you here?"

"Don't you need to accompany Nero and Mashu?"

"They are already asleep." Ian walked forward, came to Atalanta, bent down and hugged her.

"What? You feel embarrassed because you were discovered praying, so you want to chase me away?"

"Nothing!"

Atalanta, who was hugged, quickly shook her head, looking very shy.

Just from the slightly shaking tail behind her, one can tell that the little cat girl is actually happier at this moment.

"Master, when did you stand there?"

"Hmm..." Ian frowned slightly, pretending to recall the past seriously, "It was probably when you said 'Artemis, the Moon Goddess'."

"Eh?!"

Atalanta raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise.

"In that case, shouldn't we have been standing there from the beginning?"

"Well... you can say that." Ian smiled calmly, "Atalanta, are you really praying to Artemis, the moon goddess, for me?"

"Yes." The little cat girl nodded obediently.

"because--"

"I really hope that the master can find the girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka!"

"..."

Knowing that Atalanta had not lied to him, Ian touched her head, and when Atalanta closed her eyes to enjoy it, he leaned close to her ear and continued;

"Since you are so loyal--"

"As the master, I have to give you a little reward."

"Reward, reward?" Atalanta felt her cheeks getting warmer.

And Ian's next words confirmed her feelings.

He hugged her and whispered, "Right here, I'll give you your favorite thing again."

"……it is good."

A few minutes later.

The position of the bow.

The green dress that Atalanta usually wore was hung on the mast.

She herself was like a scene in Titanic, with Ian holding her waist, feeling the silence of the sea in the most candid way.

"Atalanta, will it be cold?"

"It's not cold." The little cat girl, wearing only moonlight as a veil, snuggled in his arms, "Because my master is holding me."

"only--"

"I don't quite understand what the master wants to do... If it is just a simple thought, it can be more powerful, just like a lion."

"Who told you I won't turn into a lion?"

As Ian said this, he hugged the little cat girl's waist tightly and then took action.

The kitten girl's emerald green eyes first widened a little, and then were gradually filled with love.

"Master, you are so direct..."

"Because I know you like this." Ian took Atalanta's hand and gently stroked her belly button.
