--sorry.

--sorry Sorry sorry.

In the constant repetition of self-blame, even the reason for the apology has become blurred, but it has turned into the sediment of continuing to deny herself, and the girl has been floating in nothingness.

Originally, the girl would soon be attracted to nothingness, meaningless apologies, and even the form of her soul should have disappeared - the reason why the girl's consciousness still maintains the shape of the girl is because the Servant - the Pale Knight - has lost a lot of power. Pale Rider), it uses its spiritual base to build a protective film around the girl and protects her.

However, the foundation of that servant's existence is only the girl's soul.

If her will completely disappears, the exchange of magic power through the command spell will also disappear, completely disappear.

The cavalrymen were not afraid of their own disappearance.

It has no self in this form.

However, it is unknown whether it is due to the Servant's duties given by the Holy Grail, or because it has been maintaining the dream world that Kotsubaki desired until now. Only the process of protecting the girl (Tsubaki Tsubaki) who is the Master has been clearly retained. down.

The concept of death itself - the protective film built by the Servants, looks like an egg symbolizing the birth of life.

Just floating in the sea of ​​nothingness, in a few days, both the servant and Xiao Chun will disappear.

It was supposed to be like this...

Slight changes began to occur around the girl and the heroic spirit.

First of all, the earth was born in the ocean of nothingness where the world was not yet opened.

It starts out as muddy, or as vague as quicksand.

Soon after, it turned into soil, and the Servant's Egg wrapped in Xiaochun slowly fell to the ground.

What is different from the world created by the girl is that she is not the center of this world.

There is no light.

Neither Xiaochun nor the cavalry noticed the change yet.

The cavalry may have noticed this change, but it probably didn't have the self-awareness to notice the change.

How long has passed since then?

Far away from the two of them, the blue light began to flicker.

The lights swayed quietly, wandering in the darkness, and finally came to the egg where the girl and the cavalry were.

At this time, the Pale Knight finally reacted.

In order to protect the girl, it turned into a human form and blocked the light.

However, after looking at the light for a while, the cavalry seemed to judge that the light was not an enemy. It changed back to the form surrounding Xiao Chun and stopped moving.

Although it swayed incomprehensibly, the light slowly turned on, and an elongated cage formed around the egg.

At first glance, it looks like a cage used to hold criminals.

However, the light was neither malicious nor hostile, it just illuminated the girl warmly.

The ‘cage’ that gently wraps Miu Qiu Chun——

It's like a cradle that heals a girl's wounds.

Snowfield Underground Facility, Alexandre Dumas' workshop.

Underneath the Snowfield Police Station, there is a tunnel leading to various facilities in the city center.

A little further, located twenty meters underground, is the workshop of Alexandre Dumas, a warlock affiliated with the police officer camp.

In addition to Dumas, who is continuing some work deep in the room, there are also his master, Director Orlando Levy, and his subordinate Vera Levitt in the center of the room.

Facing the director with a sad look on his face, Alexandre Dumas shouted happily from the depths of the room.

"The restaurant in Crystal Hill is very good. Heck, their meat dishes taste great because they are fried using clear fat scooped up from the surface of the soup stock."

"...I don't want to complain about your unauthorized going out. Binding you with a command spell will only reduce work efficiency."

"Oh man, you understand me better and better. Damn, don't keep such a stern face. It's a miracle that all the members of the police station returned in the face of that situation. Let's not talk about the dream world, outside ( Reality) but such a massacre happened!”

"..."

After listening to Alexandre Dumas' words, the director fell into deep thought.

——The ‘some kind of being’ that appeared after Flat Escardes was shot did not attack the police officer.

——As expected, that thing is Flat Escardus, and the armistice agreement between him and us is still valid... Is this the case?

——So, is it possible to get in touch with him in the future?

You shouldn't have too high expectations, the director thought.

At the same time, he was also figuring out what to do next.

"It is said that Xiaoqiu Chun's life activity has dropped by one level. Her status is still unclear..."

Looking from the side, it was rare for Vera, who usually gave off a calm and thorough impression like a sharp blade, to look like this. She looked in a trance and said in a slightly haggard tone.

"There has been no change since then. Sister, she has been looking after Miuqiu Chun day and night. She probably won't last three days..."

"Really? If the situation is true, the servants will not be able to maintain their spiritual base after the death of the master. Although I am sorry for your sister, but locking many people and heroic spirits in the inherent barrier... after the cavalry showed such After gaining the power, it will no longer be possible to take risks to save the relevant people and the city.”

"...That's right."

"The most dangerous thing is that if that heroic spirit renews its contract with someone... If it is an extremely powerful heroic spirit like the cavalry, it will disappear immediately once it loses its magic power supply. Since the situation is not clear yet, we must Just keep an eye out."

Orlando's implication was tantamount to abandoning Jiuqiu Chun, and Vera did not refute this.

After all, we have personally experienced the power of that heroic spirit.

Without the help of the swordsman, many companions would die in the dream world, and the entire army might even be wiped out.

If you want to save the girl's life in this situation, it means ignoring the rest of the city.

However, Vera couldn't help but feel depressed when she thought of her sister, who knew nothing about the magic world, risking her life and death to save the girl's life.

The magician would not think like this, but Vera understood that this was the director's will conveyed to the police force, and so did the other members.

In a sense, it is precisely because they cannot abandon human morality and thinking like other magicians that they can stand here.

Vera, who has worked with Orlando for a long time, understands better than anyone else the director's annoyance at the decision to abandon Minqiu Chun.

From the director's point of view, making a decision based on a reasonable magician's thinking should not be "abandoning", but "treating it positively" is the right answer.

In other words, if the Holy Grail War could end as soon as possible and Jiuqiu Chun could be liberated from the constraints of the Command Seal, her physical condition might be restored.

——...Now that things have come to this, what else can I do?

Vera deeply realized the naivety of her fantasy, tried to adjust her thinking, and completely let go of her emotions——

Just when she was so troubled, she smelled a scent that was both smooth and irritating.

"...?"

Vera raised her head and saw Alexandre Dumas walking from the depths of the room carrying a dinner plate.

The appetite-stimulating aroma seemed to be wafting from the plate. Vera glanced at the director next to her. The director also frowned and stared at Alexandre Dumas who was walking this way.

"Hoho, it's done."

Alexandre Dumas paid no attention to these two people and placed the plate on the round table used for the meeting.

Then, something incredible happened. What was originally an ordinary work table was painted with color, given shape, and turned into a luxurious dining table like an old restaurant or a noble castle.

The tablecloth swayed in the gentle breeze, and the candlesticks that appeared at some point warmly illuminated the surrounding scenery.

There are exquisite delicacies on the dinner plate that make you salivate just by looking at them.

A meat dish that looks like a palace garden, made with ingredients such as pie crust, sauce, vegetables cut into garnishes, and mousse. Served with thinly sliced ​​truffles, it creates a 'view' on the plate.

Take the vegetables used as garnishes, which contain carving skills that gourmets who appreciate food can never match.

It's like a finished sculpture, but rather than saying 'It would be a pity if I eat it', it's more like 'I want to taste it quickly'. It's filled with a head-turning aroma, and just the sight of it is enough to stimulate your taste buds. It competes with the taste of the esophagus on the dinner plate.

"This is……?"

Faced with the director's muttering, Alexandre Dumas replied.

"Huh? This thing has the same principle as your weapons. It just adds a little bit of the history of the dining table. Is it called projection magic or something? Anyway, it is one of them. You will change back after eating. "

"No, that's not what I'm talking about...did you make this dish yourself?"

"Ah, just change all the remaining weapons into kitchen utensils. Don't worry, I won't turn the poison dagger into a table knife."

Dumas said, beating his chest, and Orlando was more surprised than angry.

Although I knew that Alexandre Dumas was a gourmet, this guy would hunt and cook delicious food himself, but after seeing his craftsmanship with my own eyes, he was far more sophisticated than I imagined.

"This dish has your magic on it too?"

"Huh? I don't trust my own magic that much. This is a dish made for people to appreciate."

"...Really? In your mind, cooking has a higher priority than making Noble Phantasms... No, now is not the time to talk about this. I was just wondering what you were doing in there, and I didn't expect it to be cooking. Could it be? Is it to block the smell?"

"It would be a headache if someone gets in the way while cooking. This dish is made from fine chicken."

Dumas said without changing his expression.

Facing the speechless director, Dumas kept talking while ensuring that his saliva would never splash on the food.

“At first I was going to make Tete Nior Lucullos style with another chicken Galantine fond, but I didn’t want enough ingredients. Because I wanted I wanted to try the pie dough of this era, so I tried the pie bun based on chicken breast. I think the taste of pheasant meat is the best among chickens, so I tried to eat as little of the fragrant vegetables as possible in the sauce. However, If you two don't like the taste of pheasant, how about you adjust it a little? You wouldn't normally do that, but this is a big treat."

Facing the gushing Dumas, Vera also looked at the plate with surprised eyes and said.

"...It's still really surprising. The director used hamburgers when summoning. I didn't expect the warlock to make such a dish..."

"Hahaha, Miss Vera, what you said is really interesting. Did you get all the information about me from novels, plays and history textbooks? I am not only in "The Three Musketeers" and "The Countess of Salz" I have left my own footprints. It would be better to say that I have stuffed everything about myself into the Cooking Code.

After Alexandre Dumas said these words happily, he returned to the depths of the room and brought dinner plates that matched the number of people.

"After being summoned by Orlando, Mr. Director let me taste the hard jelly sold in the grocery store on the street, the burgers that can be bought for one dollar, and even paid me to go to a high-end restaurant to eat them all. The eating method also cooperated. The etiquette of this era, but this kind of experience is also quite interesting. It’s not that I don’t have any opinions, maybe I am behind the times, so let’s give it a try first.”

Alexandre Dumas urged Orlando and Vera to sit down and put the food on everyone's plates.

Different from his usual rough appearance, Alexandre Dumas started his meal with a surprisingly elegant attitude.

Orlando and Vera were overwhelmed by the sudden situation in front of them, but they did not say the words "Now is not the time to eat."

What is the significance of Alexandre Dumas's current behavior?

Partly because of his attitude - it's a dish that will make even the usually serious Orlando and Vera feel hungry immediately.

As a conclusion, the taste of this dish was definitely second to none of all the food they had eaten in Orlando.

After a hearty meal, Alexandre Dumas took a sip of wine and then chuckled.

"Perfect, it is indeed the best to go into historical research. I wrote Chef Taillevnet into the book "The Cooker of Charles VII". From a modern perspective, it is obviously wrong. (Translator's note: Taylor was the cook of King Charles V of France). If it were a novel or a drama, you could fool it by saying "Charles VII is more interesting, so there's nothing wrong with it", but only later did you discover the Mistake in the Cooking Code. If we study it further, the conclusion may be overturned."

Although it was a clerical error caused by Mistake, Alexandre Dumas did not show any particular concern.

"However, the research on cooking has not stopped. This can be regarded as a fluke. The modern method of cooking beef kidneys seems to have matured a lot. I can guarantee that cooking is one of the energy sources of human evolution. It is also one of the three major desires. The most basic one."

Dumas narrowed his eyes, the depths of his eyes sparkling, as he continued.
