Mordred scratched her head somewhat awkwardly and said,
"Sorry, Ritsuka. I was too hasty. Just get some proper rest. I'll keep watch tonight."
Mordred left somewhat dejectedly, climbed a nearby dune, and sat down to watch for any suspicious activity around them.
After setting up the tent, Mash walked over to Ritsuka. She looked worriedly at Mordred's slightly lonely silhouette beneath the moonlight and murmured,
"Mordred usually isn't like this. It seems King Arthur and the Deputy Director really are important to her."
"How about asking Dad to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take us straight back to Camelot? That would fulfill Mordred's wish too." Ritsuka thought for a moment before making the suggestion.
"I don't agree."
Olga Marie shook her head in the projection and said,
"We need to understand the situation in this Singularity. If you proceed on foot, you can investigate the surrounding area and better coordinate with Higashino Kanade's actions."
"...Then could Dad take Mordred over first?" Ritsuka asked after hesitating for a moment.
"Well... putting aside whether Mordred would be willing to leave you behind, we just detected a battle breaking out not far from your location. Both sides have Servants. I really don't recommend reducing your combat strength under these circumstances."
Olga Marie rubbed her forehead and said with a headache,
"This era is still at the end of the Age of Gods. It's extremely dangerous. According to the information obtained from Higashino Kanade, the enemies are likely heroes from the Age of Gods. You don't have Higashino Kanade's strength, so it's better to stick together."
After hearing Olga Marie's words, everyone fell silent.
Mash took out some seasonings and sprinkled them over the roasted lizard, saying absentmindedly,
"Senpai, if we could move a little faster, we could reach Camelot sooner."
"Yeah.
