Omen

"Roaooooo!!!"

"Hmph. Such a tiresome sight."

Siegfried, who lets out a roar, slays the wyverns, while i effortlessly shoots down the wyverns with a mere gesture.

"I'm sorry, but they are having a splendid conversation now. Let's stop the tasteless imitation!"

"Hmph, your misfortune――landing in my cheerful domain!"

Back to back, i activate my Noble Phantasms, together with Siegfried's.

"Release! 'Gate of Babylon'――!!"

"Shoot down! 'Phantasmal Greatsword: Balmung'――!!"

The waves of twilight are filled with the treasures of dragon slaying.

I, with the original dragon slaying text, and Siegfried, bearing the legend of dragon slaying.

There's probably no one but Fafnir who can stop these two now.

"Sorry for leaving my back to you――for some reason, I have a conviction that I can entrust it to you."

"Of course. I wouldn't resort to sneaky tricks like attacking from behind."

"That's right.――I feel relieved from the bottom of my heart. That you, the King of Heroes, are on our side."

――That's how I feel too.

This vessel, the King of Heroes... the fact that he is protecting us is incredibly reassuring and prideful.

"Indeed. I, in principle, am one who never surrenders to those who are defeated. It's just by coincidence that I am now overseeing those who are saving human history. ――Hahaha, how amusing! It means there is one more thing to laugh about!"

"Is that so?――Hmph, that's true."

The vessel laughs loudly, and Siegfried with a cynical smile.

Opposites, yet their figures emit the dignity of myths.

"Even in this state, it seems we can deal with these small fry.――Mm. Looks like they're done on the other side too."

Looking over, Mash and the Master are waving their hands.

"Alright, let's go back.――Honestly, walking is such a bother..."

I shrugs.――It can't be helped; let's think of this as a period of time to live in poverty.

"What are you talking about!? I don't need your help! Indeed, I am a true hero, and I'm fine with both men and women as long as they are beautiful, but it's just about beauty! You carrying me!? Imagine the scene! What if Master and Mash's tastes were warped! I don't need such a revolting garden!"

I rejecting Siegfried's offer.

"I'm sorry. ...In any case, I can't hide my back."

"Anyway... Dragon Slayer, no, Siegfried."

Calling him by his true name.――This vessel seems to have recognized him.

"Fafnir, that evil dragon is up to you.――Don't screw up."

"――Yes. I am a dragon slayer. This is the only thing I can be proud of... But I will not lose, even if it's against you, the king."

Siegfried looks straight at me.

"Well roared. For someone who seemed meek, you're quite stubborn. ――Haha, I also awakened to a new way of fighting during my battle with that mongrel."

Yes. Now that he's recognized this vessel... it looks like I can achieve what I had in mind. I reached out to the ripples.

"Leave this to me. Use this when you fight Fafnir."

I handed a small key the size of a palm.

"What is this?"

"It's a key to my treasury. It leads to the place where the dragon slaying armaments from all ages are stored. You should be able to handle it. Make good use of it."

――According to the vessel's memory, King of Heroes had it made, but there should be no one who dares to ransack the treasury of the King of Heroes, and he left it there.

――As a catalyst for summoning this hero, it is a treasure that desires to possess everything... but it seems to be "unnecessary" to this vessel.

"――Are you sure about this? This is such an important thing."

"It doesn't matter. I've learned to 'rely' on someone. The me now is in a good mood beyond the point of my usual self. I won't hesitate to spend during this summoning."

That's right. Fafnir's opponent is none other than Siegfried. Their enemies are those who bring forth Singularities. Their journey doesn't end there.

To borrow the words of the King of Heroes... "Please sweep away the dew." ...Wait, wasn't it a bit more majestic? Uh-oh, it's difficult.

"――I am sincerely grateful. Your skills, your wealth. I will use everything to pierce that evil dragon."

"Don't disappoint my expectations."

"Leave it to me."

The two laugh together.――Now, all that's left is to lift the curse.

"Giiil! Come oooon!"

"Siegfried saaaaan!"

"Let's go, King of Heroes.――If you're feeling down."

"How annoying! That's unnecessary!"

"I'm sorry."

While lightly teasing each other, they rejoined the Master.

...

"'Queen Marie Antoinette and Jeanne seem to have arrived in town. They must have made it safely.'"

"'They are fast walkers, aren't they? Faster than us, it seems!'"

"That country girl probably managed to keep up with their pace, huh?"

"'I did!'"

"Ah!"

Caught off guard, this vessel is taken aback.

"'Oh, sorry, I got a message from Jeanne.'"

"You should have said so earlier!"

"My apologies. Let me apologize in her place."

"You just wanted to say that, didn't you!? ...So, what is it?"

Is it something related to me?

"'Yes, King of Heroes.――I understand now.'"

Jeanne speaks with certainty.

"'After talking with Marie, I am convinced. The witch over there is not me. The dragon witch knows nothing of her foster parents or the softness of straw.'"

Short and cryptic words. While the vessel doesn't understand them, i smirks.

"――Did you realize?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know... the words of the King of Heroes are enigmatic..."

"A king is an incomprehensible being. It's because we see things differently."

"Prove your conviction in the decisive battle. You will surely waver.――I'm sure it will be amusing to watch."

"'Yes, I will. ...However, King of Heroes, may I say that enjoying watching someone's struggles is not a good hobby?'"

"Can't be helped. I am the president of enjoyment, after all. I'll think of it as a favor and won't be savoring my wine with a grin in my hand."

"'Oh, come on! You really, whenever I say something...!'"

"Hahaha. Radio interference, huh? Can't be helped, I'll end it now."

"'Hey, King of Heroes! Wait――'"

I hangs up the communication with stiff acting. I really enjoys teasing Jeanne... Sorry, Jeanne.

"Alright, now that we got rid of the noisy country girl, let's go! The city of blades is just ahead!"

"Alright!"

"'There are two Servant reactions. Try contacting them.'"

"'Wait, these reactions...! Two Servants are fighting!'"

At the same time, fire erupts from the visible town.

"What could that flame be?"

"That simpleton girl is there too. Haha, it seems there will be more than just teasing! Let's go, Siegfried! Carry Master!"

"Understood. ...If you don't mind, let me carry you, or maybe princess carry..."

"Yeah!"

"Eh, King of Heroes! Even I can princess carry!"

"Let's decide with rock-paper-scissors!"

"I have a bad feeling about this... a really bad feeling...! Oh goddess, extend your helping hand to me! I can't stop trembling with this awful premonition...!"

――Since a while ago, the vessel has been excited to no end.

――What on earth could be in that town?
