Ex-Machina on a Dimensional Travel

Xiu Er nodded, then paid the other man no further attention.

Such a cold attitude made even Tawara Touta pause in surprise.

The doll passed everyone by and headed straight for the cell where Serenity was being held.

At that moment, Bedivere, who had followed from behind, arrived as well and nodded to the people present.

"Notification: I will handle the transfer method for individual Serenity Hassan."

"Alright."

They had intended to ask Xiu Er for help anyway, so there was no way they would refuse the proposal now.

The doll had been present when Cursed Arm provided the information earlier. She must have already made plans.

Stepping into Serenity's room, Xiu Er ignored the smell permeating the entire chamber and raised her hand, summoning a Golden Vortex that swallowed Serenity's body.

After consuming its target, the vortex rose from the ground and stood upright before them.

One gate serving multiple purposes was perfectly normal. The other side led directly to the Village of the Mountain anyway.

After glancing back at the others, Xiu Er walked into the vortex without another word.

But just then, Tawara Touta, who had been frozen in place, finally came back to his senses beneath this strange phenomenon.

"Um, please wait a moment!"

You Can't Leave

Before entering, Xiu Er had been fairly interested in this unfamiliar Servant. But after learning his name, she immediately looked up all his information.

As a result, her "interest" in Tawara Touta instantly plummeted.

Although she had always adhered to the principle of taking everything.

Something that was utterly useless to her still made it difficult for her to consider storing it.

Perhaps only when she had absolutely nothing to do would Xiu Er choose to store this Servant's Noble Phantasm out of boredom.

"...Inquiry: what is it?"
