I summon heroic spirits in the world of pirates

The flames illuminated a corner of the dilapidated town.

The hot air was rising up into the night sky, and behind a higher mound was a temporary bathing pool.

Several fires were lit at the feet and high above the earth bag, and the light seemed to dispel the cold.

Emiya is cooking, and the food purchased from Nahana that can be stored for a long time can also become unimaginably delicious under Emiya's hands.

Cu Chulainn was boiling water, and the huge earthen jar he found in the house happened to be used as a tool for boiling water.The small dry pond behind the earth bag was accidentally discovered by the Chief Secretary. Pour the boiled water into it a few times and it can be used as a bath.

Several camels and Vivi's karoo ring sat near the fire, looked after by Ikarem.

Lixiang sat in front of the fire, holding branches dug out of the yellow sand and poking them in the fire.

The cheerful voice of the chief executive was heard behind the bumpkin. This sickly young lady, who had been hot for a day and stained with blood for a long time, finally regained her vitality after taking a hot bath.

Weiwei's voice was heard from time to time, and Weiwei, who was inspired by the director's cheerfulness, temporarily lost her frustration during the day and began to enjoy the tranquility brought by the hot water.

Artoria said nothing, but Ritsuka knew that the maid was enjoying herself.

"Master, is Emiya-san's cooking ready? Miss Okita is already very hungry!" Souji's voice reached Ritsuka's ears.

"It's almost done." Li Xiang replied, "It's almost done."

The water on Cu Chulainn's side was almost boiling, and it was time for Ritsuka and the others to enjoy the hot bath.

The general manager also quickly finished cleaning up and walked out after draining the water.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that we can enjoy an open-air hot bath in the desert." Souji's face turned rosy, "And the dinner is very rich. Miss Okita will definitely be energetic and prepare for tomorrow's journey."

As long as you don't vomit blood tomorrow, it'll be fine.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that I would also take a bath together." Weiwei looked a little embarrassed.

"It's great to improve your mood." Ritsuka said, "Sit down quickly, it's time to enjoy dinner."

"The fatigue of the day always needs to be driven away, so enjoy it."

……

The dinner was very sumptuous. Emiya fully considered everyone's dietary portion and prepared an unusually large amount of food.

It's hard to imagine such a scene happening in this abandoned town.

It seems to tell the fact that this town is still alive.

The sumptuous dinner made everyone feel much better, especially for Weiwei and Ikarem.

After enjoying dinner, it’s time for men to take a bath.

Taking advantage of this moment, Weiwei also came to the roof of a house alone and looked into the distance.

That is the place where fire cannot reach, the rainy land known as the City of Dreams.

The biggest enemy is there. As long as that enemy is eliminated, the crisis in Alabasta will dissipate.Weiwei has always been thinking this way during this time, but she also knows that the pirates with the King's Shichibukai are extremely powerful.

Just like the problem Emiya pointed out to her that time, Weiwei was too worried.

What I was worried about was not whether I would win, but whether Ritsuka and others would die as a result.

This may be Nefertari Vivi's weakness.

……

"The desert is very cold at night. You should know this better than me, right?" Lixiang's voice came from behind Weiwei.

The heat mixed with the aroma also came, and Weiwei stared blankly at the bowl handed over by Ritsuka.

"The Emiya family's soup." Ritsuka said softly, "It tastes similar to the soup when I caught you. Drink it while it's hot."

"...Thank you." Weiwei took the soup.

"After all, we are still in a cooperative relationship. It is not good to make you hungry or cold. We must do everything perfectly." Ritsuka smiled.

He came to Weiwei's side and moved his eyes to where Weiwei was looking at before.

"The rainy ground is in that direction, right?" Ritsuka said.

"Yes." Weiwei said, "Krokdal is right there."

"And it's a gambling city, right? Countless people have lost or won a lot of money there. And Crocodile can be said to be the biggest gambler who controls Rainland." Ritsuka said.

Weiwei was stunned for a moment and felt that what Lixiang said seemed to be right.

"So, the way to deal with this kind of gambler is to be a gambler and do everything you can to bet with him." Ritsuka chuckled, "Krokdal's bet was set up by him in Alabasta. Everything, and your highness, Princess, the only bet you have is your life, yours and our lives as collaborators."

"Mr. Ritsuka..."

Li Xiang didn't plan to stay long and was ready to leave after giving the bowl of soup to Wei Wei.

"As a collaborator, you must act like a collaborator." Lixiang looked at Weiwei with a bright smile, "Only after you gamble our lives and win, will I have the opportunity to ask for a lot of rewards from you. Don’t forget what I told you during the day. If you really want to save this country, then let us fight.”

As he walked away, Ritsuka's voice was still heard: "Remember to finish the soup and come back early to rest. Souji is looking for you everywhere."

Weiwei looked back at Lixiang, but only saw his figure disappearing into the night.

The hands holding the bowl tightened, and Weiwei felt the temperature of the hot soup warming her palms.

Then she lowered her head and pursed her lips into a smile.

"I will, Mr. Ritsuka," she said softly.

"You and your companions will just wait to receive your reward, so I will encounter all the difficulties before that..."

"Leave it to you and your companions."

"Please, we must let this country survive..."

As if praying for blessings, this girl looked like a believer at this time.

Incomparably devout.
