I don't want to be a heroic spirit

A pure white.

Perhaps because there is nothing, there is no color, so it appears to be a void of white.

This is a place that cannot be touched by time and space, the gap between worlds, and an ocean formed by the convergence of non-existent "imaginary numbers".

Although it is called "ocean", it is just a similar descriptive word found to facilitate people's understanding.

"Because there is no concept of time in this imaginary space, even if Master wishes to return to the previous world, you can choose a time point. However, to prevent confusion in your proof of existence, Master, we recommend that you return one month after your departure."

"In other words, no matter how long I'm away from that world, to Jasmine and the others, it's only like I've been away for a little over a month, right?"

"Master, you forgot to add the premise. The premise is that you will return to the previous world."

Ah, this is indeed a problem. If I die in a certain world, I won't be able to return...

However, when I think about death, what I worry about most is not death itself, but not being able to return to those who care about me... I don’t know if there are many people who have the same idea as me.

Before leaving, she had explained everything she could.

He told Jasmine that he was going abroad on a mission and would be away for more than a month, and then he found Kento Nanami and others and hoped they could take care of Jasmine.

She suppressed the cursed bone tree with a holy grail. As long as no one disturbed it, nothing would happen. She had eliminated all the more dangerous cursers. She had also eliminated the cursed bone tree.

Ignorance and malice are always nourished with the development of civilization. Perhaps the astral plasma incident will continue to occur around the cursed bone tree she left behind, but if it is just an opponent of that level, Gojo Satoru and the others should be able to deal with it.

It's only a little over a month anyway, so nothing big shouldn't happen.

Maybe?

"Master, your flight is about to arrive at your destination. Please fasten your seat belt. The weightlessness and nausea you'll experience are normal. Remember to give me a good review, dear~~?"

"what?"

Before she could react, she felt a strong suction, as if she was thrown into the center of a storm, followed by a feeling of weightlessness as if she was bungee jumping without a seat belt.

Her last thought before she lost consciousness was...

"Didn't they say you can get used to this thing?..."

…………

This is a mountain as sharp and steep as a sword blade.

If you stand on top of this mountain, you can even enjoy the feeling of stepping on thick clouds, with the unobstructed blue sky above your head.

A wind colder than a knife's edge and stronger than waves blows against the mountain walls twenty-four hours a day. The thin air and the freezing snow make this place a forbidden zone that is difficult for any life to approach.

Under the wind and snow, a small white bulge suddenly moved, and a cherry-pink little head poked out from the snow pile, shaking off the snow on its head.

"...Tsk, this time it didn't fall from the sky, but emerged from the ground. As expected of Chaldea's spirit particle transfer, every time it descends, the way it descends is so horrific."

The girl with cherry-pink hair slowly and with difficulty climbed out of a snowdrift that was at least one meter thick. The black scarf that she had finally pulled out of the snowdrift fluttered in the biting cold wind. The swimsuit that barely covered her body and the high socks seemed so out of place with the surrounding wind and snow.

"...So, why a swimsuit?!"

No wonder I always feel chilly around my belly button...

After a while, Souji Okita changed into a black and white haori, and the scarf around his neck, which was mainly black with golden patterns, also turned pure white.

But there were no matching pants, not even a skirt, just a pair of plain black triangle women's swimming trunks.

Although the servant is very cold-resistant, it is a shame...

"This is too short..."

Okita Souji blushed and kept pulling at the hem of her haori with both hands, but when she found that the hem of the haori was not even as long as the sleeves, she changed her posture to grabbing the sleeves with both hands and wrapping them around her waist.

"Ah~~! That's a rare shy expression from Master! Take a screenshot! Save! Back it up! Post it on social media!"

"Da Vinci kiss!"

Hearing Da Vinci's voice gloating... No, that was completely gloating! Okita Souji's face flushed red, and he looked deeply shocked.

"Wow... I didn't expect Ms. Okita's swimsuit debut to be so embarrassing. She even became a laughing stock on the internet... Ms. Okita was a big failure."

"Master, who told you to draw this swimsuit spirit base instead of the other Miss Okita Souji?"

"Ms. Okita didn't know at that time that she would one day become my wife. And you know Da Vinci kissed me. Miss Okita in swimsuit is only four stars, but the others are all five stars! How could I draw a five-star Okita with so little stone?"

It seemed that he felt that covering it with sleeves alone was not enough, so Souji Okita simply squatted down and pulled the hem of his clothes down behind his buttocks.

"Besides, Miss Okita is a Saber, and I, Kako, have no shortage of Sabers. With so many servants, nearly a third are Sabers. I'm too lazy to count the four-star ones, and I still have Attila and Ibuki Douji as five-stars. I don't lack Sabers at all, okay? I drew Miss Okita purely for the swimsuit!"

The howling cold wind reminded Souji Okita of the torturous days in the Russian and Nordic Lostbelts.

"First... we need to find some traces of humanity. We need to figure out which world we are in..."

But with such a strong snowstorm, even she, as a servant, felt the cold. Could there really be someone nearby?

"Will we really encounter something like Yaga?"

Swimsuit-wearing Souji Okita carries a jet pack on her back, allowing her to soar through the clear summer sky.

Although there is no summer here, you can still fly!

Just do it with confidence and leave the rest to your courage (luck)!

This is a miracle item equipped with the technology of the mysterious Servant Universe. It achieves galactic-level space control through super acceleration and super braking achieved by ether jet propulsion. It has fixed equipment such as the Kikuichimonji Sword, Photon Vulcan Cannon, and Photon Missiles.

I guess even if I jump directly from such a high mountain, I will be safe.

After thinking for a moment, Souji Okita decided to look for stairs or something.

I wasn’t scared because I could only see the vast sea of ​​clouds when I looked down. It was really not because I was scared!

Absolutely—it’s not because of fear!

Chapter 48: Three Stages of Wuming

"That being said, there's nothing new here except snow and cliffs."

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the wind and snow around me always feel stronger than before.

Souji Okita made this judgment based on the frequency of his scarf slapping himself. The environment here was indeed extremely bad.

There was almost no foothold as he walked down the steep mountain wall, but Souji Okita took every step steadily and firmly.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect this thing could be hidden."

Souji Okita touched his waist, where there were two paint spraying devices, very similar to the ones used by the Survey Corps in the movie "The Retreating Dwarves", but not as big.

This was understandable, considering the Survey Corps' jets... oh no, they were called "personal 3D devices"? They not only fired jets, but also stored knives and fired grappling hooks—a truly multifunctional device.

Okita Souji's jet device was hidden by her, or rather, it was transformed into a spirit particle, just like her weapon. It can be taken out and used directly when needed, which is not only convenient but also saves magic power.

That's right, save magic power, after all, she didn't feed the Holy Grail to Souji Okita.

Moreover, as a modern Heroic Spirit, Okita Souji is very weak in both mysticism and magic power. His magic power is only a pitiful D-level, and this is achieved with the enhancement of the jet device made by Miss XX from the Servant Universe. If it were the original and authentic Okita Souji, his magic power would be the lowest E-level.

She still remembered that the original Okita Souji was clearly the strongest swordsman (Saber) among the seven classes. Not only could he not fire ray cannons, but his magic resistance was even pitiful, at E-rank! He was a disgrace to Saber!

Didn't you see how Mother Emiya was laughed at by the magic dog because she was an Archer among the top three riders but her magic resistance was only D-level?

Recalling that not long ago, when she was Bawanshi and had more magic power than she could use up, Okita Souji felt an indescribable sadness.

It seems like yesterday I was still devouring delicacies from land and sea, throwing the leftovers to the dog, but today I have to go to the supermarket to grab those discounted rice and instant noodles.

The gap between them...

It's all tears if I talk too much...???

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Souji Okita has no strengths.

Swimsuit Okita Souji has six attributes. Although she has two D-level, two C-level and a pitiful E-level durability, her agility has reached an astonishing A+!

Apart from EX, which is incalculable and has no reference value, A+ can be said to be the top level!

For example, Achilles, who has the title of "Speediest Heroic Spirit", has an A+ level agility, and Okita Souji, who also has an A+ level in agility, is naturally not much behind.

In other words, even if you look at the entire Heroic Throne, Okita Souji's agility is at the top of the pyramid!

"Hehe! So Miss Okita is the Master's most trusted Servant! She is the most reliable and powerful guard who can take down any criminals who dare to approach the Master! In short, leave everything to Miss Okita!"

Souji Okita raised his head and knocked his chest with his right fist.

"But then again, this place is a bit too difficult to walk on...huh?"

Okita Souji expressed slight doubt.

Although the clouds were thick, she still saw a piece of open space in the clouds. She compared the height and felt that she could jump directly from there without getting hurt.

"Ms. Okita is someone who will do whatever she thinks of!"

Then, her hands gradually loosened from the cliff, and her body fell to one side.

Being high in the sky with nowhere to gain support, the bone-chilling cold wind was colder than the fangs of wild beasts and the edges of divine weapons. It felt like being cut by a knife when it blew on the skin.

The sound of the hem of her clothes and scarf flapping, the whistling of the wind and snow cutting across her cheeks, at this moment Okita Souji felt like a bird spreading its wings in the sky, and the wind, clouds and snow around her were the shackles she had broken free from.

Free and unrestrained.

Two long flame tails suddenly appeared behind Souji Okita, allowing her to do a perfect 540-degree backflip and landing.

"Perfect!"

The snow here is very thick. As soon as you step on it, everything below your ankles is swallowed up by the snow.

Souji Okita continued walking, looking for a way down the mountain.

"Master! Master!"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Da Vinci?"

Souji Okita tugged at his sleeves. The bad thing about having wide sleeves was that the strong wind blew directly into the sleeves, making them bulge out and making it very difficult for him to walk.

However, the wide sleeves and long hem are really handsome when blown by the wind!

This is also the reason why she has always been fond of clothes with long hems such as trench coats.

In fact, she had always wanted to try out ancient costumes, but unfortunately she never had the chance...

"Master, when we were exploring the surrounding environment, we found that there seemed to be signs of human life nearby."

"Huh?" Okita Souji blinked in confusion and looked around.

"Are you sure? Da Vinci, how could someone live here?"

After all, here, Souji Okita couldn't even feel things like vitality, let alone humans.

Without plants and roaming animals, communities cannot exist.

If there really are people living here, there definitely won't be many, most likely just one person.

But this is even more incredible... What kind of weirdo would live alone in such a forbidden zone for life?

However, before Okita Souji could think about it... [that] happened.

It couldn't be described in words, but Okita Souji understood in an instant that he had been targeted.

Locked by a "sword"!

Its sharp force can cause the sky to split open and the earth to crack.

Its vastness is like the ocean.

Its calmness is like a hundred abysses and thousands of mountains.

And the one who holds and wields this "sword" is pure white.

Snow-white waist-length hair, snow-white eyes, snow-white skin, snow-white skirt and armor, snow-white swords.

This is a Valkyrie dressed in snow-white.

After seeing the snow-white figure with his own eyes, Souji Okita understood.

The pinnacle of the "Sword"... or rather, the pinnacle that he had not yet reached, had already appeared before him!

Ah...what should I do?

My legs were shaking uncontrollably, my teeth were chattering uncontrollably, my fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

I should run now... If I just stupidly swing my sword at that mountain, I'll probably be crushed head-on by the falling avalanche, right?

Running away is the wisest decision. Didn't the ancients always say that as long as the green mountains remain, there's no need to worry about running out of firewood? With my agility, which I'm so proud of, I could definitely escape if I wanted to.

So, is there still anything to think about?
