Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

The girl secretly marveled at the power of the doll.

Her faint smile was not noticed by the others, and she only had the extra time to think about these things during her free time.

"That's true. If it were Shuul..."

Ritsuka Fujimaru crossed his arms over his chest and spoke with such certainty. After all, he had seen the puppet's movements countless times.

"If you're so curious, why don't you use the device Xiuer gave you to try to contact the other party?"

Da Vinci, who was fiddling with something nearby, also joined the conversation. In a teasing tone, she made a very normal suggestion to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After all, if you are really curious, can't you just call and ask the person directly?

Moreover, the equipment donated by Xiuer has its own communication function. Not long ago, they relied on this function to get in touch with Xiuer who had moved to a different location.

The young man nodded after hearing this, but did not choose this plan.

Because after a short time together, he has roughly understood the habits and personality of this doll.

"It's a normal choice, but Xiuer doesn't like being disturbed when he's doing 'business'."

When he said this, the young man even showed an expression of lingering fear, as if he had experienced something that he could not bear to recall.

"Haha~ That's true~"

Da Vinci covered her mouth and smiled softly. It seemed that she was also aware of this, and from the look in her eyes, she obviously knew what the boy had experienced.

"Then do we need to go to the holy city next?"

Leonardo da Vinci looked up at the clear sky with Fujimaru Ritsuka. It was already afternoon, and based on the position of the sun in the sky, they were able to quickly estimate the time.

It was only an hour or two before dusk.

The comfort in his words was as if he was asking where to travel.

"Well, of course I still have to go."

"After all, we don't have any other clues right now. Besides, the Sun King also said that he wanted me to see the 'truth' of this world with my own eyes."

The enthusiasm in the boy's eyes has not faded. Even when faced with an incomprehensible riddle, he will still choose to move forward and solve the puzzle himself.

"Besides, we might just happen to run into Xiuer just after he finishes his work!"

The boy's optimistic words did not receive a response from his two companions.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had just cheered up, became depressed again.

"Hmm~ Let's talk about it later."

"Let me show you something good!"

Leonardo da Vinci clapped his hands to attract the attention of his two companions, and then used magic to create a smoke effect, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

His action of fiddling with something just now was naturally seen by Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu. Although they didn't know what he was doing specifically, they didn't ask too many questions.

At this time, the two of them followed the former's gesture and looked at the long black shadow wrapped in smoke.

Seeing that the two people's attention was attracted, Da Vinci nodded.

"Dangdangdang~ This is the 'Desert Off-Road Vehicle' I made using the various small materials I collected in that temple~"

The smoke created by the magic quickly dissipated at the will of the caster, and a strangely shaped golden "vehicle" appeared before the eyes of Fujimaru and Ritsuka.

During the process, Da Vinci even added special sound effects, and it can be seen that she was very satisfied with her creation.

“Ouch—!”

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu also clapped in cooperation. They both widened their eyes at the same time, their eyes full of admiration for Leonardo da Vinci.

"As expected of Ms. Da Vinci!"

Mashu also cooperated with the boy and let out a cry of surprise.

"Hum~"

Seeing the two people's actions, Leonardo da Vinci puffed out his chest and raised his head, looking proud. It seemed that he was very satisfied with the cooperation of his two companions.

"Although I don't have the magic to perform space transfer like Shuul, I'm a genius. Even a simple means of transportation is easy for me."

The materials used were just useless items brought out from the temple.

Of course, she had specifically asked Neto for these materials, and they were approved by the two pharaohs. She did not commit any act of theft.

"As expected of Da Vinci himself!"

Although the shape is a bit disappointing, the smiling cat on the front of the car and the long "cat paws" on both sides of the car doors make the whole car's temperament step on the road of "funny style".

Ritsuka Fujimaru also repeated Mashu's words, but his praise was also sincere.

"Haha~ Okay, okay, let's put the compliments aside for now."

Da Vinci took the initiative to interrupt the young man who was about to continue praising her. She couldn't help laughing at the way he racked his brains for words.

"The most important thing right now is to get out of the desert."

"Come up."

Having said that, she took the lead and sat directly in the driver's seat of the vehicle.

"it is good!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not polite either. He immediately turned around, walked over and pulled up Mashu who was sitting in the shade of the tree at the back, and sat together in the back seat of the SUV.

It was not until he got into the car and saw Da Vinci checking the vehicle equipment that he was stunned as if he had realized it belatedly.

"Um... Da Vinci?"

The young man called out to the other party hesitantly, his face looking as if he was worried about something.

"Well, what's wrong, Fujimaru-kun."

Da Vinci, who was fiddling with equipment, turned her head slightly, but her eyes were still on the pile of instruments in front of her.

"Do you have a driver's license?"

"Um, no~"

Leonardo da Vinci did not stop what he was doing, answering casually as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"I'm a Heroic Spirit, how could I possibly have a driver's license~"

"hiss--"

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath. The scorching sun shining on his forehead caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

Although Mashu had never seen the world outside of Chaldea, she had gained a lot of experience through the education she received and conversations with Chaldea's employees.

Therefore, her face showed a surprise that was no less than that of the boy.

"What's your reaction?"

Without seeing, just the sound of the two people's breathing made Leonardo know what they were thinking.

After adjusting all the instruments in the car, she turned around and looked at the two of them helplessly.

"Although I don't have a driver's license, I'm a genius. Even a simple thing like driving a vehicle is not difficult for me at all."

"Besides, this car was built by me, so I have no problem operating it."

Having said that, Da Vinci started the car.

“Ahahaha… that’s true…”

Ritsuka Fujimaru scratched his head in embarrassment. He felt ashamed of his misunderstanding of Leonardo da Vinci. After all, the facts were just as the other party said.

After all, the other party is Leonardo da Vinci, who is known as the "all-round genius".

Fortunately, Da Vinci herself did not have any aversion to the boy's misunderstanding. After all, they had been together for so long, and she had long been accustomed to the boy's occasional unconventional thinking.

She didn't pay attention to this episode, but quickly retracted her gaze and focused on the various devices that had been debugged in front of her.

Then she rubbed her hands excitedly, and immediately gripped the steering wheel in front of her with excitement on her face.

"Hold on tight~"

"Varied……?"

It was just a trivial reminder, and Da Vinci no longer cared whether the two people in the back seat were ready. After inserting the magic wand in his hand into the "socket" specially made for it in the equipment, he immediately raised his foot and slammed the accelerator.

The whole car suddenly burst into astonishing speed.

Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could react, a strong gust of wind suddenly hit him in the face.

"Whoaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

At this moment, if someone was near this oasis, they would be able to see the afterimage of a golden vehicle speeding at high speed, and hear the endless screams that seemed to come from a young man.

……

……

"Um?!"

Hit by the enemy's iron fist, Mordred felt nothing.

Because before this, her intuition kept giving her warnings, and she wanted to dodge, but the enemy was too fast, so fast that she couldn't even see the enemy's close movements.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, she was ready to grit her teeth and take the blow.

As a result, the enemy's punch did not cause her any harm.

However, what surprised Mordred at this moment was not the fact that he was not injured.

But at this moment, the enemies in front of her, including her companions around her, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye after she received that soft punch.

Where have all the people gone?!

Mordred immediately retracted the half-released Noble Phantasm.

She immediately looked around, her hands tightly gripping the hilt of the sword. Her whole body was tense, and her mind was highly concentrated on sensing the movements around her to prevent possible sneak attacks.

The broken earth beneath my feet was still the fake city in the environment just now.

The destruction caused by the battle was also spread all around.

It can be said that except that everyone else has disappeared, everything is exactly the same as before.

"Are they really all gone?"

Even if he extended his perception far and wide, Mordred could not detect any trace of living beings.

There was no doubt that this was still an illusion, otherwise she would have seen the soldiers stationed here in reality.

But this is not the illusion just now.

Because there is no one else here except her.

"Damn it!"

Mordred stomped the ground beneath his feet and roared.

She, Lancelot, and Tristan were able to enter this illusion only through the "hole" broken by the "King".

Even the hole only lasted for a few seconds before returning to its original state!

Even if Wang did not use his full strength, the fact that he could create such an illusion of this intensity was enough to prove the strength of his enemy.

Right now, she was probably banished by the enemy to another realm of illusion.

After all, multiple illusions are not uncommon in illusions. She even remembered a court magician who was also a master of illusions.

The other party had done many similar things back then.

Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?

No, how is that possible!

boom--! ! !

The crimson lightning moved rapidly throughout this false city, devouring and destroying everything in its path.

Mordred once again released his Noble Phantasm, and this time the target was the entire illusion.

The buildings in the entire city were reduced to ruins under her treasure, but even so, there was not even a single crack in this illusion.

It was normal. After all, it was an illusion that could withstand a blow from the "King" and still stand firm. It was understandable that he couldn't break it.
