Heroic Spirit of the Charity

Master, are you going to eat? I'll come with you.

Fou, Fou!

You can come too, Fou... What? Is that... Karna?

？！

Heyo-Chal-Deluxe.

What? ...Senpai? Karna!? What's going on!?

...That's my question. I was told that's the standard greeting in Chaldea.

Who... Who told you that?

Master.

What? ...No way...

I didn't know such a wonderful greeting existed... Senpai, how come you didn't tell me?

？！

...Please say that to me, too.

？！

...Heyo, something. The one you did, with the high-five.

？！

Yes, Heyo-Chal-Deluxe.

I see. This has a wonderful effect. It makes you feel...light and relaxed.

However, Chaldea is on high-alert right now. So from now on, this greeting will be banned.

Foou...

？！

By the way, what are you doing, Karna?

Oh, I'm about to go buy some bread at the store.

At Da Vinci's store? If you haven't had lunch, why don't we...

No, Doctor... Roman was his name? He asked me to buy some for him.

... Doctor. It's me. Mash.

I'm going to get to the point. Why did you ask Karna to run errands for you?

Well, I've been busy, so I just thought...

Using a Heroic Spirit... To buy bread? I'm pretty sure there are other more useful things...

Wait, I meant it as a joke! But he just nodded and walked out of the room...

？！

Yes, what the Doctor said is correct. There isn't a single false statement.

...Did I do something wrong?

No... I mean, I wouldn't know how to answer that myself...

I see. If nothing's wrong, I'm going to the store.

I'm so sorry! Da Vinci's Super Special Delicious Bread just ran out.

Oh... I see.

(He looks so depressed, Senpai!) You always have extra, I wonder what happened?

Well, we finally used up all the flour we had. Dr. Roman also told us not to waste it.

I got it. Let's use this chance to procure a new supply route!

Of course you will help me, right? They sell good flour in France, around here.

If you can stuff it into my special Da Vinci Storage Bag, you should be able to bring back some crops to Chaldea.

Normally, we'd purposely realign Chaldeas to manifest resources from our Rayshift destination but...

Using Chaldea like that would truly deplete our resources... It just doesn't balance out.

So in times like this, we need cheat a little.

Understood. Commencing Rayshift. Master, I'm sorry, but please get ready.

He agreed immediately!

？！

...Well. That's the reason we're in this French farming village.

Fou.

Hmm. How did things end up like this in the short time I was looking at Magi☆Mari's blog?

It's all the Doctor's fault!

That village... Hmm?

Oh, a traveler... No, looking at that spear... Perhaps you are part of the French army?

...No, I'm not.

N-No way... It's been three days since the bandits seized our village...

Just when I thought someone had finally come to save us...

That sounds terrible. I will help you.

What? A-Are you sure? But... Only with this amount of people...

It won't be a problem. Karna... Let's hurry to the village!

Fou!

Hell yeah! Bring us some booze! Get me some women too!

That's enough! For your health, please refrain from alcohol and women!

Who the hell are you? A kid, a girl, and some skinny guy...

Ha! Hey guys, go teach them a lesson!

That's enough. Do you want to spend all your remaining time on momentary desires?

What... What are these guys? T-They're too powerful!? L-Let's get out of here!

Persistently aiming at their vital spots, and accurately reducing their wills to fight to make them surrender as quickly as possible...

It was totally one sided, artistic even. I learned a lot.

T-Thank you very much, traveler. I have no idea how to repay you...

You don't need to thank me. We couldn't just let your village be destroyed.

By the way, can you give us some wheat? We'll pay the proper market price for it.

W-Wheat? That's all you need? Please take as much as you need!

...No, just enough to fill this bag. I heard I can pay you with these silver coins.

Well, yes...then please take this. Is that really enough for you?

Yes, I appreciate it. I'm sorry for the trouble.

Karna...

All right! This is Da Vinci's Super Special Delicious Bread Mark 2!

...Splendid skill, or craftsmanship rather. I can even feel divinity from the steam.

You used to bake pizza before... As expected from an almighty genius, this is an almighty oven. Hat's off to you.

Sorry to make you wait, Doctor. Were you able to withstand the hunger? This is the bread you wanted.

Oh, thank you... I'm sorry about the extra work.

Oh no, it was a good experience. Anyway, I will take my leave now.

Karna is looking...a little bit strange, don't you think?

The Hero of Benefaction... I heard he even offered his armor when someone begged for it, even though it was his flesh and blood.

？！

Yes, as long as he's wearing that gold armor no one can harm him.

He's a hero who relinquished even that precious armor when asked for it.

A widow's mite in a way... Takes only what is necessary and only the amount he really needs, that's him.

He is noble and aloof, yet engages with others as his peers He is truly a model hero.

What a wonderful person. I can't believe the Doctor would ask him to do such a mundane task.

I was engaged in a task I couldn't leave, so... I am sorry.

Next time I'll ask Arjuna! You know... Since he's from India just like Karna!

T-That's an even bigger issue! Please let us do your trivial tasks!

Fou!
