"Hi hi! I am Artemis! Please treat me well!"
Artemis greeted the people on the ship quite energetically.
"This is my beloved, Orion!"
Artemis grabbed Orion by the neck and lifted him up to show everyone.
"Hi hi, I am Orion, a useless little plush toy..."
Orion raised his paw weakly.
The Moon Goddess's love was too heavy; he really couldn't handle it!
Artemis had a bit of a social butterfly vibe. In no time, she mingled with the people on the ship, chatting happily with Euryale and the others.
Orion was thus liberated, running to the corner where Takumi was to catch his breath.
"...So your experiences here were quite exciting! Too bad Artemis and I arrived a bit late; otherwise, it would have been very interesting."
Listening to Takumi recount what happened in this Singularity, imagining the scene of sailing the ship into the sky and sea, Orion couldn't help regretting not boarding earlier.
"Haha, actually I also arrived a bit late. Before I came, Captain Drake snatched the Holy Grail back from Poseidon. That battle must have been much more exciting than the few I participated in."
Takumi smiled, guessing Orion's thoughts.
But as someone who experienced all this firsthand, he didn't want to repeat it again.
"Poseidon? Is it the Poseidon I'm thinking of?"
Orion widened his eyes, pointing a paw at himself.
"It's the one you're thinking of, the God of the Sea, Poseidon. He even brought out Atlantis back then."
"No way, seriously? According to you, Captain Drake was just an ordinary human back then, right? How did she manage to crush Poseidon too?"
Orion found it even harder to believe.
He knew the power of gods all too well. Even if degraded into a Servant, they should still be an existence that crushed ordinary Servants.
Moreover, bringing out Atlantis, no matter how you think about it, Poseidon couldn't be as weak as Artemis currently is, right?
"About that, I want to know too..."
Takumi, who had experienced being an ordinary person and had a deep understanding of the limits of ordinary human strength, also couldn't figure out how Drake managed to destroy a great god holding a Holy Grail.
"...Forget it, let's not think about this."
Orion thought for a long time but couldn't think of any way for an ordinary person to kill a great god, so he gave up thinking. After all, he wasn't the type with a very good brain.
"By the way, what are you going to do next? That guy Heracles is not easy to fight. Even if I manifested in my normal form, I probably couldn't beat him."
Although Orion himself was a Grand Archer, he still had a realistic assessment of his own strength. Facing a mechanism monster like Heracles, taking a few of his lives would probably be the limit.
"The most critical thing next should be finding King David, right? He brought the [Ark of the Covenant] when he manifested. Only by relying on that thing can we deal with Heracles."
Takumi said without thinking.
Regarding the subsequent plan, he had already prepared a draft in his mind!
"So purposeful? Did you meet King David before?"
Orion looked at Takumi in surprise.
"No, mainly because..."
Takumi was used to this cliché topic and explained it casually.
"Got it!"
"Clairvoyance is really a useful ability; so envious!"
"If I also had high-ranking Clairvoyance, wouldn't I be able to easily hide from Artemis and find beautiful and cute young ladies?"
"Hehehe, beautiful young ladies~"
Orion started fantasizing as he spoke, giggling foolishly.
Regarding Orion's thoughts, Takumi decided to reserve his opinion.
After all...
Takumi glanced at a certain Goddess who appeared at some point and silently moved a bit further away from Orion.
"Dar~ling~"
Clearly, Artemis's voice was extremely sweet, but to Orion's ears, it sounded like the death knell leading to hell.
Orion sobered up instantly, turning his head stiffly to look at Artemis, revealing a smile uglier than crying.
"A-Artemis, I was just joking. You wouldn't be angry with me, right...?"
Orion asked carefully.
"Really, Darling is talking nonsense again. Let me treat you properly~"
Artemis grabbed Orion.
Yamero!
Come and save me!
Orion extended his paw pleadingly to the people around him.
But facing Orion's cry for help, the people he looked at all looked away coincidentally.
I didn't see anything...
Seeing this, Orion despaired.
We don't know what kind of fate Orion met.
But after experiencing a fierce battle, facing the dim sky, except for leaving some people to keep watch and arranging the rotation order, the others dragged their exhausted bodies into dreamland.
Sleeping on a ship was also a first for Takumi. He thought he wouldn't be able to sleep, but unexpectedly found that after lying down for a while, he successfully entered a sleep state.
Then...
Takumi saw under the moonlight, a golden warship was heading straight for an unseen small island under the cover of night.
Takumi saw a blonde man leading a burly man like a black iron tower breaking onto the island.
Takumi saw two Archers resisting that burly man with all their might.
Behind the two was a golden box that looked very heavy—
"—Ha, ha..."
Takumi was startled awake, sitting up abruptly from the bed, gasping for breath.
Takumi's eyes flickered under the weak moonlight, his brain constantly recalling the "dream" just now.
This wasn't a dream!
But a [Revelation], a true Revelation!
Even though Takumi had never really received a Revelation, possessing the [Revelation] skill, he also had the ability to recognize a true Revelation.
Then since this dream was a Revelation...
Takumi didn't think anymore but quickly rolled out of bed and found Drake.
"No way? Someone is really acting at night? Trying so hard!!"
After listening to Takumi's account, Drake couldn't sit still either. Cursing, she put on her belongings and then greeted the group of pirates awakened by Takumi's movements.
"Lads, stop sleeping! Those guys are playing tricks on us and are already running towards the finish line. Hurry up and hoist the sails to depart, or we won't even know how we died!"
Although the pirates were a bit unhappy about getting up suddenly, judging from the expressions on Drake and Takumi's faces, they also knew the seriousness of the matter.
So they all hurriedly put on their clothes and acted under Drake's command.
In no time, the mainsail of the Golden Wild Hunt was raised again, sailing straight in a certain direction under the moonlight.
