Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

"Are there any more 'conditions'?"

After hearing this, the boy immediately became serious.

“Actually, I personally think this is more like a ‘commission’ than a ‘transaction’~”

Leonardo da Vinci on the side gave his own understanding.

She had a general idea of ​​the village's situation when she entered.

Although people's lives were not seriously affected, she could see from the few villagers who came out to help that they were somewhat malnourished.

"Is that so?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little confused.

To some extent, there is not much difference between "transaction" and "entrustment", except that the meanings of the two words are slightly different.

In a specific context, the feeling it gives people is also different.

Just like before, the boy thought that the "Hassans" had put forward conditions to them in the name of accepting refugees.

Since it's a commission, there's no problem.

"So is there anything we can help you with?"

"about this……"

Although the three "Hassans" have already explained the specific situation to Da Vinci and Xiuer.

After all, the most reliable people in this team are these two, Leonardo da Vinci in terms of strategy, and Shuul in terms of combat power.

The three "Hassans" gave such a "commission" based on Xuer's strength.

For Curse Wrist, repeating it is not a difficult task and he will not get tired of it.

But Da Vinci didn't think so. She spoke before the former could speak:

"Let me tell you."

"Well, then I'll trouble Ms. Da Vinci to convey it to us."

Seeing this, Curse Arm stopped talking and looked at the Chaldeans present again.

All members were present at this time, except for the Silver-Armed Knight who joined the team temporarily.

"Excuse me, where did that knight go?"

"Ah, he's still outside the village enjoying the night view of the mountains. Don't worry, Mr. Curse Wrist. He said he'll be back soon."

It was Mashu who answered him, and the girl hurriedly explained on behalf of her temporary companion.

Judging from her expression, she seemed to be worried that Cursed Wrist would become suspicious of the knight because of this.

Fortunately, I don’t know whether it was because the girl’s explanation worked, or because Cursed Arm never doubted the identity of the Silver Arm Knight.

He just nodded calmly.

"Is this so?"

After learning about the last person's current situation, Curse Wrist looked back at Da Vinci.

"The house we vacated earlier for the 'meeting' will be your temporary residence. Please don't mind if it's a little run-down."

"How could that be? It's really great that you're willing to provide us with accommodation. Thank you for your kindness."

Da Vinci nodded. It would be inappropriate to be polite at this time.

"I hope you can have a good rest tonight. See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow, Mr. Cursed Wrist."

The young man's energetic voice sounded behind Curse Wrist. The latter waved his hand and stepped into the dark shadows with his tall back.

In just a few breaths, the figure of Curse Wrist disappeared without a trace.

At this point, the last "outsider" had left, and the only people left were the Chaldeans.

The moonlight shone down from the sky, covering the environment where the few people were in with a thin layer of silver gauze.

A cold wind blew by, and even Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been excited all day, couldn't help feeling tired.

As a servant who did not need to rest, Da Vinci smiled gently upon seeing this.

She looked at the sky. The moon in the sky was about to sink into the horizon. A faint light appeared in the distant horizon, indicating that the night was about to fade away.

Among the people present, only Ritsuka Fujimaru was still a normal human being.

Therefore, it is important to take a break. No matter how busy you are, it is time to take a break.

"Okay~ It's late, time to rest~"

"Hey, didn't you tell me the details of the commission?"

"No matter how anxious you are, Fujimaru-kun, you can't neglect your body~"

Da Vinci blinked and hinted to the boy beside him.

"That's right..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not refute this time, because what Leonardo da Vinci said was indeed true.

Although they did not experience many battles throughout the day, the young man was already mentally exhausted after a day of running around and witnessing a large number of "visions".

Right now, getting some rest as soon as possible is the top priority.

"And Mashu too~"

Seeing that the boy had been convinced, Da Vinci shifted his target to Mashu who was standing aside.

"It's not good for girls' skin if they stay up too late."

"Well, don't worry, I'll get some rest."

Mashu didn't care about this reason. To him, the condition of the skin was not important for the current situation.

But it's time to rest.

After all, there are obviously a lot of things to do the next day, so I should have a good rest and restore my energy tonight.

Seeing this, Da Vinci nodded and turned to look at Fu Fu on the girl's shoulder.

"And you, Fufu~"

"Fu?"

"You should get some rest too."

"Fu..."

Seeing that Da Vinci was serious, Fu Fu, who originally wanted to play for a while longer, lowered her head.

Although the people of Chaldea cannot "understand" Fufu's words like Mashu and Shuul, they all understand that Fufu is a magical creature that can understand human language.

That is why everyone considers this little white animal to be an indispensable companion.

Finally, Mashu and Ritsuka Fujimaru walked towards the house that Da Vinci pointed out.

At this moment, the only ones standing here were the latter and Xiuer.

After "persuading" everyone, Da Vinci turned his attention to a puppet behind him that had remained silent until then.

"..."

Xiuer looked at the smiling Da Vinci in silence.

"Rebuttal, I don't need to rest."

Seeing that the other party seemed to be preparing to coax him like he did to the other two, the former spoke first and interrupted the spell.

"Okay, okay, it seems our Shuul-chan doesn't like being treated like a 'child'~"

Da Vinci crossed his arms and rubbed his cheek with a distressed look on his face.

Her tone was as if she was complaining about a child who didn't like adults' attention.

"..."

Seeing that the other party still had the mind to make a joke, Xuer stopped talking this time and even moved his eyes away from the other party.

Seeing this, Da Vinci immediately put on a wicked smile on his face.

"Proposal, if you can't sleep, I can help you fall asleep."

The cold words floated out of the puppet's mouth. Although they were ordinary, they gave people a faint sense of oppression.

It seems as if if Leonardo had continued, he would actually have achieved something.

"Ah la~"

But even so, this "genius" obviously didn't take this matter to heart, and even showed a surprised expression because of the other party's words.

"I didn't expect Shul-chan to have a sense of humor too. This is much funnier than before."

"..."

Just when Xuer was about to show his "sincerity", Da Vinci suddenly changed the subject.

"But it's really too late now. Staying up late is not good for a lady's skin~"

"Then I'll go rest first. See you tomorrow, Shuul-chan~"

After saying this, without giving Xiuer time to respond, this "genius" quickly walked towards the house.

At this point, Xuer was the only one left standing here, enduring the cool night breeze.

"..."

After watching Da Vinci's departing figure disappear into the shadows, Xiuer withdrew his gaze.

He sighed softly in his heart.

After seeing that there was indeed no one else around, it floated into the air and flew high above the village.

……

Because the village is located in the heart of the mountains, when Xuer rose high into the sky, he could observe most of the situation in the mountains with just his "naked eyes".

And the small temple that was previously in the "Sky Eye" picture also appeared in Xuer's field of vision at this moment.

However, he did not go into space this time to look for the temple. After all, when he observed the temple through the "Sky Eye", he got the coordinates of the building.

A pair of golden eyes spun rapidly, finally locking onto a certain silver knight who was still enjoying the tranquility of the mountains in the open space outside the village...

……

The mountains were extremely quiet at night. After the devastation caused by the Lion King, large areas of the world were barren and lifeless.

At this moment, Bedivere was standing on the open space outside the village, looking up at the peaks of the mountains.

This seemingly ordinary mountain range provides the mountain people with a barrier that is enough to avoid the eyes of the Lion King.

call--

Suddenly a breeze blew from behind me, and a familiar "breath" drifted from it.

"call--"

The Silver-Armed Knight took a deep breath and let out the frustration in his heart.

clatter……

Despite the movement behind him, Bedivere continued to stare at the night view of the mountains in front of him.

clatter……

Someone's footsteps came from behind him, and only then did the knight, who was immersed in the scenery, finally regain his focus.

He closed his eyes, as if savoring the feeling just now.

"I wonder why Lord Xiuer is looking for me at this time?"

"..."

Xuul did not answer, but walked silently to the knight's side and looked at the night view in the distance with him.

"Inquiry, what are you doing here?"

The puppet did not answer the knight's question, but instead asked another question.
