Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

For a moment, he stood there stunned, somewhat at a loss.

She was speaking a little too loudly just now...

Is it too late for us to reconcile now?

""

She glanced at Queen Nitocris, who was under the influence of drugs.

Or we could just hand over this useless queen.

Chapter 182 The Foolish Pharaoh Queen

"Ritsuka, please stop summoning Artoria-type Servants."

One day, Director Olga Marie found Fujimaru Ritsuka.

She looked at Chaldea's current income and expenditure statements with a worried expression.

"Director, what's wrong?"

"What else could it be? Honestly, take a good look for yourself... Isn't this just making things worse for Chaldea, which is already nearly depleted of resources?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the bill Olga Marie handed her, read it carefully, and then discovered something very important.

Artoria's food expenses are steadily progressing towards the goal of bankrupting Chaldea.

The primary issue is resources.

A significant portion of the resources obtained from the minor singularities are actually intended for repairing Chaldea's equipment.

In theory, food reserves only need to be enough for twenty people for a year, provided that Artoria is not present.

Moreover, as the number of Servants continues to increase, Chaldea's burden is becoming heavier and heavier. If this continues, before humanity can be saved, Chaldea will collapse first.

"But we can't just fail to meet the demands of the Servants we've summoned with such difficulty, can we?"

"Don't you know how to use something like Earth Princess's [Imagination Manifestation]? ...wouldn't it be better to use that to think of a solution?"

Then Fujimaru Ritsuka actually went to think of a solution.

After all, it wasn't just Artoria.

Food is an essential condition for human survival...

There might be some unique situation where there is a food shortage and people are on the verge of life and death.

After all, such situations were possible in the ancient world.

So, through continuous practice, and in order to open a good bakery in the future, Fujimaru Ritsuka learned to materialize bread using her imagination.

She could say with pride...

Even the princess couldn't do that!

To create something out of thin air.

That's how shameless it is to make fantasy a reality.

Essentially, it's an extension of natural touch, but humans are also part of nature. This is difficult for a True Ancestor to understand, but for Fujimaru Ritsuka, a half-True Ancestor who was once human—

—As the ability to materialize fantasy improves, this will naturally happen.

"what do you mean?"

Bai Mao Hassan cleared his throat slightly and asked.

"Give me Nitocris, and you can keep these breads, okay?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked.

Hassan looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with suspicion. It wasn't that she didn't want to accept Fujimaru Ritsuka's kindness, but as one of the elders of the mountain, she had to be cautious.

""

She considered it carefully and made a decision.

“Nitocris can be left to you, but the bread... can we really take it with us?”

"Okay, well... to put it bluntly, it's just to put your minds at ease under the guise of an exchange. Actually, even if you don't want the supplies, I'll still take Nitocris."

Fujimaru Ritsuka gently scratched her cheek.

Her power was something Hassan could not resist.

Moreover, given the state of the mountain people, Fujimaru Ritsuka simply couldn't bring herself to harm them, considering them enemies.

""

"I understand. You can take the person with you. I'll take the bread with me in return."

The followers do not eat food offered with contempt.

The problem is that there are still many starving people in the village who are surviving by eating chickpea flour mixed with clods of dirt.

In this world, free things are the most expensive.

Hassan was no longer concerned with anything else.

"No problem, deal's done. No one got hurt, so this is a happy ending for everyone!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka clapped her hands and said.

""

Mashu sensed that her senior was once again being controlled by the blood of the True Ancestor, and was acting impulsively.

However, that's just how true ancestors are; it's perfectly normal for them to be affected to some extent.

Rather, it's rare for a True Ancestor to be able to normally exhibit human-like behavior like Fujimaru Ritsuka.

but...

[To become an ancestor under the crown... a realm that reached its peak through the path of the Dead Apostle; this kind of thing... is truly quite nerve-wracking.]

Surely that's not how the senior was born, right?

Bai Mao Hassan suddenly felt very depressed, but... never mind, if we really fought, maybe the magic power the opponent had just used could have directly dispersed the sandstorm.

Can't beat it at all.

Garlic bird garlic bird...

"Leave that woman behind, pick up the bread, and let's go."

Bai Mausole quickly made a decision; she knew this was not the place for conflict, so she wisely decided to leave.

Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn't seem to intend to harm them, which would be for the best.

"Oh..."

The mountain people did not question Hassan's decision, but nodded blankly, and began to pick up the bread with trembling hands as if in a daze. The golden light was more precious than gold at that moment.

"I will definitely repay this favor."

Hyakumaru Hassan looked directly at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said calmly, "On behalf of the villagers, I would like to say thank you first."

"It's okay, it should be."

""

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Mao transformed into a dark shadow and once again merged with the mountain people into the raging sandstorm.

Mashu blinked.

"They're gone."

"So what if they left? Honestly... This kind of behavior is really not to my liking. Those guys are too cautious, treating everyone as an enemy. It's really annoying."

Mordred carried the sword.

Luckily, she had destroyed the armor earlier.

Otherwise, seeing Mordred dressed in a style clearly identical to the Knights of the Round Table, Fujimaru Ritsuka probably wouldn't dare to trust him easily no matter what he said.

But what happens next...

Seeing the dark-skinned queen lying on the ground, mumbling in her sleep, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but squat down and poke her firm cheek.

"Eh... so this is the legendary Nitocris, the Queen of Magic? She doesn't seem to have the majesty she should have."

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but say, "She looks like a silly girl."

From this perspective, Nitocris, lying on the ground, was muttering something in a soft, sweet voice, and her pair of purple ears, resembling those of a rabbit, were trembling slightly, making her look quite adorable.

Nitocris, who was unconscious, seemed to be talking in her sleep.

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but curiously poke her ear.

Based on my intuition, it seems to be some kind of antenna, a medium for communicating with things like planetary catalysts and divinity.

"Ugh... Ugh!"

Nitocris mumbled sleepily, "No, the ears are the catalyst for communicating with Horus, you can't just touch them! Tsk tsk, I already said you can't touch them!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized what was going on after hearing that.

Then he pinched her rabbit-like ears even harder.

"Waaaaah!"

Suddenly, Nitocris, who had been fast asleep, opened her eyes and jumped up like a startled rabbit.

"Who are you?!"

Nitocris watched the three of them nervously.

She blinked, then put on a fierce look, like a raging kitten, gripping her eagle-headed cane tightly and scolding:

"Who is this despicable, rude person?!"

"You know I am Pharaoh Nitocris, yet you still commit such despicable and vile acts. Do you intend to face the wrath and punishment of the gods?!"

They are indeed heroic spirits from the age of gods.

The strength and aura emanating from him are far beyond what ordinary Heroic Spirits can match; he is a powerful Servant with divinity.

But no matter how you look at it, it looks like a nobody.

Even his initial remarks were typical of a nobody...

"Hey, hey, hey, how dare you talk like that? Want to get hacked to pieces? Watch out, I'll chop you to death with my sword!"

Mordred's temper flared up instantly.

I saved you and you're still ungrateful? Who are you trying to act like a big shot to?

So what if she's a queen? It's not like I haven't killed her before.

My father is one of them.

(In a parallel world, he even killed the Assyrian empress).

The rebellious knight, who had never shown any reverence for the king, squinted at Nitocris.

(Nitocris froze completely)

"You actually dared to drug me and sneak me out of the temple! Such an atrocity cannot be tolerated! It seems the only way is to defeat you, teach you a lesson, and bring you under my rule!"

"Sphinx!"

Nitocris shouted, trying to summon her familiar sacred beasts to her side.

""

Mordred, Mashu, and Ritsuka exchanged bewildered glances.

"Where is the Sphinx? Sphinx, bring these rude scoundrels to justice!"

Nitocris said anxiously, but no matter how she called out, she could not hear the Sphinx's roar.

"Forehead..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her finger somewhat embarrassedly and pointed in a certain direction behind Miss Nitocris: "Hey, look at that lump of minced meat, doesn't it look like a Sphinx?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ask.

"Ah...what minced meat?!"
