Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Da Vinci covered his mouth. The fight was over before he even started.

"You rude people, what are you doing here, tying me up?"

Neto, who had just come to his senses, continued to pretend to be calm and scolded the people from Chaldea in a harsh voice, as if he still wanted to retain his previous majesty.

It's a pity that from her current appearance, she looks more like a loser than a majestic one, which makes people laugh.

After all, she looked confident of winning just now. Although she was really angry, apart from the misunderstanding, there was also a hint of anger and embarrassment because the other party saw her sleeping.

Originally, her intention was just to beat up Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others first, and then slowly force them to reveal their purpose.

But I didn’t expect that these bad guys would use such dirty tricks!

Yes, in Nito's opinion, Xuer's flanking was a dirty trick, although being invisible and touching the back row was indeed not very bright.

But who is Xiuer? As long as the plan can improve efficiency, he doesn't mind the content of the plan.

Of course, no one present really laughed. Shuul didn't need to say much, but Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others knew what to do now.

After all, the other party's status is indeed noble, and this battle was just caused by a misunderstanding.

If I really laugh, the situation will probably be irreparable.

Ritsuka Fujimaru immediately walked out of Mashu's protection and came to Nito.

"What are you going to do!?"

Seeing the boy's actions, Neto, who was pinned to the ground, immediately panicked.

"I'm Pharaoh. You have to think carefully. If anything happens to me, the consequences will be serious!"

Shuul ignored Nito and turned to look at Ritsuka Fujimaru on the side, signaling him to negotiate.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt helpless.

Because of the current scene, they really look like bad guys.

"I hope she will listen to my explanation."

"Please don't worry, we mean no harm."

"Heh—bullshit!"

Nito's face was filled with disbelief.

Putting aside other things, just the way he tied himself up and pressed to the ground doesn't make him look like a good person.

Besides, there was the girl holding the shield. The pattern on her armor was basically the same as the standard armor of the knights of a certain holy city in Nito's memory.

"No, it seems like Miss Nitocris won't listen to our explanation right now."

Matthew came to Da Vinci's side and whispered beside him.

The latter was also the one who watched the whole process, so she could understand Nito's reaction.

This matter is complicated, but it is not. After all, it is just a misunderstanding. As long as they produce evidence, they can prove their innocence.

As it happens, they do have evidence.

Leonardo da Vinci secretly glanced at Shuul who was standing next to Nito and grabbing the chains.

Fortunately, Fujimaru Ritsuka was quite smart and he had already found a way to break this situation.

"I know it's hard for you to believe us, but we also have evidence to prove our innocence."

He glanced at Xiuer beside him.

"Xiul, please help me."

It was not until this time that everyone's eyes finally turned to Xiuer, who had remained silent since a while ago.

"..."

"learn."

He nodded and loosened the chains in his hands.

Seeing this, Nito immediately tried to break free.

After trying it for a while, she was surprised to find that the chains, which had lost the other party's control, seemed to have self-awareness and became tighter.

"Goooo..."

Without paying attention to the struggle of the person at his feet, Xuer quickly raised his clenched right hand.

Mashu watched the former's movements and she was impressed by the gesture.

Sure enough, a flintlock rifle appeared out of thin air in his hand.

With the black gun barrel pointing directly at his brain, Nito at his feet was terrified and lost the strength he had previously maintained.

"what are you up to!!!"

Because she was a servant, Nieto recognized the weapon in Shul's hand, and she also felt an inexplicable energy reaction from the gun barrel.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also extremely surprised.

No!

I told you to release Hassan, why did you suddenly pull out a gun?!

“Answer: This is the best proof.”

This is how you should deal with people who don't listen to explanations.

—【Classic Opening】—【Emperor Keke·Ten Bullets】—

Although this power is used to activate the other party's past memories, it actually has another use besides this.

That is to selectively transfer your own memory to the target.

If Kurumi herself were to do it, it would have to be able to penetrate herself and hit the target at the same time for it to be effective.

But Xiuer doesn't need this step.

boom--! ! !

A loud gunshot rang out in the empty desert.

Red-gold energy gushed out from the barrel of the gun and hit her brain in front of Nito's horrified eyes.

"Ah ah!!!"

The magic queen let out a terrified wail, and her already shattered dignity was now gone.

Before she could react, an unfamiliar memory was forced into her mind. The feeling of having it forced into her mind made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Wow...what is this?!"

But she couldn't avoid the image of that strange memory playing in her mind.

That was the video that Xuel had intercepted specifically for her, covering the entire process of her being taken out of the temple by the group of men in black, being rescued by them, and finally being brought here.

"Gu..."

It was not until this moment that Neto truly realized that this group of people really did not speak and that someone else had kidnapped her.

Moreover, she recognized the attire of those men in black; it was clearly the attire of the people from the mountain next door.

Neto fell silent, not only because he had misunderstood a good person, but also because he was like a fish on a chopping board in Xuel's hands, being easily manipulated by him.

“…Guwu…”

Neto, who had previously shown an unyielding spirit, now shed tears of unwillingness.

Xiuer didn't care about the other party's condition. After conveying the evidence, he untied the restraints on him.

Of course, the former did not lift the blockade on his power. After all, he could not guarantee that Nito would listen to people properly now.

The pitch-black chains instantly disintegrated into ignorable energy particles, and Nito's body, which had been tense due to being imprisoned, also relaxed at this moment.

Even though the shackles were removed, for some reason, Nito still lay on the ground with no intention of getting up.

It seems that the blow was too great, and there is a sense of escapism in it.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Shuul who had an innocent expression, and then looked at Nito who had a sad and angry face.

The expression on his face was visibly ugly.

“This is a big problem…”

……

Chapter 14: Persuasion

"Woo..."

The Queen of Magic, the sixth Pharaoh of Egypt, Nitocris, who was full of vigor and majesty and rebuked herself and others, now turned into a defeated dog, lying on the ground and crying secretly.

The contrast between the before and after was so great that Fujimaru Ritsuka almost couldn't react.

But at this moment, seeing Neto's condition clearly, the boy took a breath and the expression on his face became visibly ugly.

"This is a big problem..."

He didn't say anything, but silently turned his gaze to the culprit who caused all this - Xiuer.

"...?"

Noticing the gaze, Shuul turned his head and met Fujimaru Ritsuka's gaze.

He blinked in confusion, seemingly not thinking he had done anything wrong.

Well, it seems that we can't expect Shul to realize what his actions mean.

Seeing this, the boy had no choice but to close his eyes and take a few deep breaths.

Neto's current situation cannot be said to be completely disgraced, but at least it is a loss of face.

If she were just an ordinary person, things wouldn't be so serious.

But she was not only a pharaoh of high status, but also the incarnation of the god Horus.

With such an identity and being treated like this, anyone would worry about the other person's mentality.

Even from her previous words, one could tell that the other party cared a lot about her identity.

Just now, Xuel suppressed him casually, and used that very scary method to give the opponent a double blow both mentally and physically.

These actions were undoubtedly a huge insult to the pharaoh, making Fujimaru Ritsuka feel extremely difficult.

After all, judging from the current situation, what could be called a misunderstanding just now can no longer be easily explained away as a "misunderstanding".

He could only hope for the Pharaoh's character.

At least from their recent contact, he could see that apart from being fussy about status and position, the other person was a kind-hearted person.

After all, even when they misunderstood them as kidnappers, they only said they would be punished, not killed.

"Um, Miss Nitocris...?"

"Woo..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka tried to communicate with the other party, but given the current situation, he was afraid that he would not get a response.

Seeing this, the boy looked up and looked at Xiuer again.

He tried to wink, as if to hint at something.

"..."

However, Xiuer turned his head away and ignored the young man, as if he didn't want to deal with this matter.

Cold sweat dripped from the latter's head, and he had no choice but to pin his hopes on the team's think tank - Ms. Da Vinci.

"Hmm~ Let's leave the rest of the negotiations to the genius."

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's embarrassment, Da Vinci took the initiative to take the task of negotiation on himself.

"Oh - thank you so much, dear Da Vinci."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

She gave the boy a thumbs up, signaling him to be relieved.

After all, Ms. Da Vinci also prides herself on her eloquence.
