"Oops...... Is this what you mean by not being of this world? It's really gone. I thought I had encountered a ghost. ”

Captain Drake rubbed his hair with a look of unrelieved relief.

"Huh? Captain Drake...... Didn't return? ”

Matthew asked curiously.

Generally speaking, after the anomaly is over, everyone will return to Valhalla, except for everyone in Chaldea who is free to choose when to return, and everyone else should be ...... at that time

Unless......

"Ahh And so it was! Matthew, Tachika, Yagi, Captain Drake in front of you...... It's human! It wasn't obvious before because she was holding the Holy Grail, but she was a living human being in this era! ”

Romani's voice rang out, just right, but also incomprehensible.

Captain Drake rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly, "Probably because I'm too sentimental, I always feel like I've heard the voice of a timid and cowardly and useless man...... Could it really be a ghost? ”

"Hahaha, with the fierceness of the eldest sister's head, even if it is a man's ghost, he will definitely not look for you!"

One of the pirates next to him who wasn't afraid of death interjected, and Captain Drake smiled even more, but an unpleasant bruise was evident on his forehead.

"Okay! Then tonight you kid get me out and sleep in the barrel! Which of you went and gave me the lead in the evening! ”

"Wow! Big sister spare her life! ”

In a cheerful atmosphere, Matthew and Fujimaru Rika looked at each other, and they both saw each other's stunned expressions in each other's eyes.

In the face of such an inexplicable and sudden enemy, the heroic spirit is okay, as a human ...... Captain Drake...... You can actually defeat it all the way so far......

"You...... Don't you feel scared? ”

Matthew plucked up his courage and interrupted Captain Drake's laughter. Captain Drake raised his eyebrows and asked strangely, "What did you say?" Afraid of what? ”

(Could it be that I always joke with my subordinates, will I be afraid of lowering my prestige?) ）

"Captain Drake...... As an ordinary human being...... Wouldn't you be scared in the face of those supernatural monsters? Why, can you still fight? ”

Matthew asked what he wanted to know most.

"Huh? This is a problem? It's really a question that only honor students ask! ”

Captain Drake scratched his head a little in annoyance, probably, she is the kind of person who can only [teach] and not [speak]. Although she has her own will and beliefs, she doesn't know how to explain it to Matthew. After thinking about it again and again, she sorted out her thoughts over and over again, and in the end, Captain Drake saw that she was always staring at her with bright eyes, and knew that he could not escape, so he could only speak.

"I'm afraid. Of course I will be afraid. But what's there to be afraid of? Even if you lie in bed, you will die when your life is up. Contracting a disease, or encountering robbers, can also cost your life. Death is such a thing, as long as you look at it, there is nothing. Because, no matter what, you can't get rid of it, and it's useless to be afraid. ”

"Scared...... It's useless...... So, why is Captain Drake so courageous? ”

"Courage...... Haha, courage. ”

Captain Drake chewed on the word repeatedly, and the smile on his lips grew thicker.

"Because, of course...... I have something I want to pursue even if I give up my life!! I'm a free pirate. For me, exploring the unknown world, plundering the unknown wealth, walking my footprints all over the world, and carving all the treasures with the logo of our Golden Deer. Anyway, you're going to die, so it's better to spend your life doing what you want to do. How about it, can you make a reference? ”

Seeing Matthew's confusion, Captain Drake asked.

Matthew shook his head, nodded again, and barely managed to squeeze out a reassuring smile: "Hmm." Very helpful, Captain Drake...... But I don't have a ...... like you."

"None? Hehe, you don't know yourself yet. Didn't you have it a long time ago? It is incumbent on you to gamble your life...... But I won't talk much. Hmph, I talk so much that I don't even feel like it's my style. ”

Captain Drake seemed to be shy, obviously a villain, a big pirate, but he talked like a teacher, her face flushed, and she turned around, leaving only a free and easy back.

"Little ones! I was going to have a drinking party before leaving, but now I've changed my mind! Rejoice! While this chaotic sea is not gone, let's explore the treasures that sleep here! ”

"Oh oh oh oh !!"

All the pirates shouted in unison.

The sound of neatness shook the hearts of all the people in Chaldea for a while.

Captain Drake and her men, the distance between people's hearts, is often so close.

The pirates of the Golden Deer took their own flagship.

The sails were unfurled, the anchor broke through the water and lifted, and the hull of the Golden Deer slowly began to sail from the shore.

Captain Drake didn't look back in the end.

The great pirates did not save the world.

She just happened to meet the bad guys on the road of plundering, and then dealt with them by the way.

It's not a big deal.

So, now that this enemy has been eliminated, isn't there only one thing left?

Continue to explore this sea area, plunder all the unknown treasures, and plant your own banner.

Seeing the Golden Deer set sail, Rika Fujimaru couldn't help but moisten the corners of her eyes.

Although the time is short, the image of this handsome big sister is incomparably firmly imprinted in her heart.

"Well, don't be so sentimental. For people like her, this kind of parting should have been used to it a long time ago. It's okay, she's so good, just go back to Chaldea and summon her. You're going to be her first mate in the future. ”

Yukisai Yagi patted Rika Fujimaru on the shoulder as if encouraging, with a flat smile on his face.

Fujimaru Rika nodded and said softly:

"Let's go back."

In this way, in the endless sea, the nautical epic that surrounds the pirates has finally come to an end.

The Holy Grail is recovered, the world begins to repair itself, and Captain Drake continues to set sail. Catherine didn't show up, though...... It's a bit of a hard thing to let go.

When the Chaldeans returned to Chaldeans, they were on an empty desert island......

"Well~~~ It's really pleasant~~ Well, it's a pity, in the end, that Skaha made a big move, and that wild hunt in the storm, otherwise, it's still a good show. Stirred up by her. ”

The black flames burned, gradually forming a human posture.

Dressed in black, as if attending a funeral, there is no doubt that it is by far the greatest enemy of the Chaldees, the pleasure prisoner [Catherine].
