Fooou...
...I'm sorry. I had no idea that she would sacrifice herself for us...
Da Vinci isn't dead yet.
Right... Da Vinci is an undisputed genius...
I'm sure she's alive. They say the ornithopter was originally an airplane, after all...
Surely she flew up into the air right before the explosion...
Compliments are best when it comes to her.
Fou, Fouu...
？！
...Now, enough sad talk.
We've entered the mountains, but how much longer to this village?
Right. We can reach it in another day. But... There's a problem...
...What could that be? Don't tell me there's some barrier around the village?
No. Nothing like that. I'm talking about food and water.
We're talking about 50 people here... We never had much, but that Da Vinci lady held things together...
...That's right. Tending the wounded, gathering food, even using alchemy to create water. Da Vinci did it all...
Fou, Fouu...
Being too talented can almost be harmful. People find themselves relying on her before they know it...
I'm sorry, but providing food is no longer an option.
The refugees must travel to the village without food or water over the next day.
With everyone at their limits, this day will be quite the hurdle... Although, perhaps I can do something about food.
Bedivere? Um, don't tell me you're...
As you see, I may seem imprudent. However, I am quite well-traveled.
I have a knack for telling which animals are safe for humans to eat. It is amazing.
Fouuu...
And fortunately for us, some are coming right towards us.
Will they eat us, or will we feast on them? ...En garde!
Whaaaaaaat!?
2. After the battle
42 linesQuotation from King Arthur, Number 8. "Nutritionally, a strange creature's meat is no different from any other meat!"
Lady Mash! Repeat after me!
Yes... Nutritionally, a strange creature's meat is no different from any other...
Ah, this is wonderful meat. Though it's a little black and fatty...
It's delicious! Mash, this is amazing!
Yes... Mash Kyrielight, digging in. Survival can be cruel sometimes...
But we need to eat this. For Da Vinci... Otherwise, how will I be useful to Senpai?
It's tough, but soft... and squishy. This scent stabs at my nose... and seeps into my brain...
Thank you very much, Bedivere... You've added mint for us. How thoughtful...
(Hehe. I didn't use any herbs, but let's just leave it at that.)
You look more energetic now.
...Can't be gloomy forever.
？！
...Yes, no matter what we do, we must first be optimistic.
Thank goodness. Would you like another plate? There's a precious part that I could only get one of.
Look... At this magnificent eye.
I respectfully and wholeheartedly decline!
By the way, Senpai. Don't those craters bother you?
I realized after climbing the mountain, but the wasteland is scattered with unnatural indentations.
What on earth could they be?
You guys don't know about the Lion King's Judgment?
What is it, Rushd? What's the Lion King's Judgment?
Sometimes the Holy City flashes... And when it does, that's what it leaves behind...
The knights call it the "Lion King's Judgment," so we call it that, too.
...Don't tell me those craters are
Man-made!?
The result of a destructive Noble Phantasm?
？！
...Yes. But there aren't any in this era's original timeline.
It's probably King Arthur's Noble Phantasm. A tremendous power that the king unleashes indiscriminately.
Much like Solomon's band of light in the sky. That explains why the mana density in the atmosphere is so high.
...Unbelievable. The Lion King's going to destroy this place.
...You guys didn't know about the Lion King's Judgment? So that's why you were able to act so defiantly...
No, sorry. Even if you knew, you guys would have saved us. We know that.
But do remember this. There is nowhere left for us to go now.
We don't know when the Judgment will befall the wastelands. Escape into the desert, and the Sun King's beasts devour us.
The mountains are relatively safe, but there is no more food up here.
...We had to go to the Holy City to survive. Though that plan became moot as well.
...So I see. I've heard the stories, but never thought it was this bad...
The Round Table has already fallen, and Arthur is now a demon king worse than Vortigern.
I see... For the people of this land, the Holy City's Lion King is an existence that cannot be forgiven and must be eradicated...
