Da Vinci moved very quickly, almost using all his remaining strength on the next movement.
He grabbed the hand that had just been pulled out of his chest and was still covered in blood, pressed Kotomine Kirei back, turned around and showed a somewhat cruel smile to everyone.
"Let's go...! Lawrence, don't stand still!"
"Protect the things in your hands, as well as Ritsuka and Mashu...!"
"——Go quickly!!!"
Her expression suddenly changed - Kotomine Kirei felt a tingling feeling of magic coming from his body.
"Le...Leonardo! I..."
Lawrence's eyes were full of fear and anger, his body was shaking, and he stood there for a moment unable to make any movement at all.
"No, no...how can we do it, leave Leonardo da Vinci alone and escape for our lives..."
Matthew looked at Leonardo da Vinci who was covered in blood. Tears fell from his cheeks unconsciously and fell to the ground.
"You - you have to do it! You have to do it!!!"
Buzz——
A shining ball of light appeared on Da Vinci's chest.
That is her Noble Phantasm [The Almighty Man].
She freed the Noble Phantasm face to face with Kotomine Kirei at an extremely close range... completely without regard for her own life.
Run away...we have to let them run away!
"It is precisely because of this that I will help you!"
"And Lawrence—you should know! Partings are always abrupt—get me used to it!"
Lawrence's body trembled.
What to do?
What not to do?
Release the Noble Phantasm now?
But what happens after the Noble Phantasm is liberated?
It was obvious that there were other pursuers behind Kotomine Kirei. After rescuing Leonardo, there was no way he could face the enemies behind him——
Parting is always abrupt -
"Hurry up and run away with the two children!!!"
Da Vinci shouted one last time and smiled at Lawrence.
Tired, gentle, beautiful smile.
"Take care of these kids...!"
"Chaldea, it's over, but the members of Chaldea, absolutely, cannot..."
Lawrence closed his eyes suddenly, turned around forcefully, gritted his teeth and took the hands of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.
"Let's...go!!!"
"That's it, Lawrence...that's it!"
Da Vinci showed a relieved smile.
This is our agreement... Lawrence.
"Da Vinci...Da Vinci dear..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka was pulled by Lawrence, and there was only the last bit of distance left between the black container.
She looked at Da Vinci, her face no longer had any expression, only tears kept falling as she moved.
Da Vinci...the person who has been with her since she first entered Chaldea...
Just leave like this.
"...Farewell, Almighty One..."
"Thank you, thank you..."
"Every kind of care so far...——!!!"
She shouted loudly and shouted out these words.
After she finished speaking, she and Matthew, who was in tears, were forcefully stuffed into the black container by Lawrence, and Leonardo da Vinci was no longer visible.
Da Vinci showed a proud smile and released the Noble Phantasm.
Her spiritual power disappeared into her own Noble Phantasm.
Chaldean Contract Servant, Caster [Leonardo da Vinci] - Confirmed to exit.
boom!!!
The heavy steel door was forcefully closed, and Lawrence sat down weakly at the door, leaning against the door and staring blankly at the ceiling inside the container.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mash Kirilet, Goldruff Mujik, Lawrence Anno Falgo! The above four people have entered the containment container! This is the last batch!"
In the container, a Chaldean staff member was loudly reporting to Holmes in front of the container.
"Four? Where's Leonardo da Vinci?"
Holmes asked loudly while operating something.
He had a somewhat bad feeling in his heart.
"Da Vinci, Miss Da Vinci..."
Matthew sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also sat next to him, unable to say anything.
Only Goldruff Mujik was saying something noisily.
"That servant is no longer here! He died in the line of duty as the acting director! He died with honor!"
"Stop crying! The most important thing now is that the emotions of the rest of you cannot be affected. We are in the process of escaping for our lives now!"
He grabbed Lawrence by the shoulders.
"No matter what, the sadness must be saved for later. The most important thing is to escape with all your strength now!"
"If you really care about that servant, just save your own life!"
There was inevitable panic in his eyes, but he still said some encouraging words.
"...So, are we the last survivors?"
Holmes's soliloquy can only be heard by himself.
"Mr. Holmes, what should we do next!?"
Munir was sweating profusely while helping Holmes make some adjustments.
"What on earth is going on with this shelter - how does it operate! I can already detect that the temperature outside is dropping rapidly!"
Among the hostile servants, there is one who can control the power of ice and snow. Chaldea's control room was frozen by that servant, and now that power is also rapidly invading in this direction.
"Don't be stunned! Everyone, there is something like a pipe on the wall, please pay attention!"
Holmes was a little sad, but he also knew that he could no longer stay here. While doing the final operations, he shouted to everyone in the container.
"Hold on to that and keep your mouth shut - the big jolts are about to come!"
"Wait--it's not!"
Goldruff's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly grabbed a tube, with a hint of panic on his expression.
Lawrence stood up silently and grabbed the pipe closest to the door.
"Everyone, get ready - enjoy gliding at an altitude of 6,000 meters!"
Click——
Holmes pulled a lever.
Buzz——
Buzz buzz————
A certain mechanism seems to have begun to operate.
After a two-second pause...
boom!!!!!!
With a loud noise, the black container in which the remaining surviving members of Chaldea were riding was violently ejected.
After rolling two or three times on the hillside, it began to slide down quickly.
And above, at the hangar where the portal opens...
"Why, aren't you planning to take action yet?"
Kotomine Kirei, who had eliminated Da Vinci, shook off the blood on his hands and put his hands behind his back.
"If we don't take action, that guy will run away."
"You haven't forgotten what your mission is, have you...Major General?"
Jefferson Hyde, standing next to him, clenched his fists suddenly.
