"Senpai, wake up senpai."

I'm here again, in this dream or rather the life of someone else, and that someone is a boy named Ritsuka Fujimaru.

I seem I'm back where I left off last time, as I see him still sleeping while the squirrel-like animal licks his face, while a Girl with purplish hair I looking at him trying to wake him up.

I walk closer to see Ritsuka a bit more clearly, and...

Woah His...actually kind of cute.

Can this be considered cheating?

Anywho, I notice that he is beginning to wake up.

"Huh, where am I?"

He asks, and the girl answers, basically it's a mage organization, that watches over the world's future and past and has a machine that can time travel to the past by sending the traveler's soul to the said past.

At least that's what I get from it, it's quite complex honest, and trying to understand it just makes my head hurt.

The Girl helps him stand up and they sit on a nearby bench and get some drinks for themselves, I also sit because why not right?

I sit beside Ritsuka and after drinking his soda, he asks, "So may I ask who are you?"

After asking the question, the girl goes on a tangent about her not being worthy enough or something.

After hearing that as if Ritsuka and I share the same brain both thought.

'Wow such low esteem'

After that, a man wearing agree on a hat with a gentle expression, After a few small conversations, they (Fujimaru and the girl) are said to need to go to look like some kind of meeting place.

And there a noble-looking white-haired girl appears, and starts lecturing the 'masters'. and it seems like there are a total of 48 of them.

Looking ahead I saw the same black/dark brown hair male, seemingly trying his best to stay awake.

seeing that I just gave a wry smile.

I guess he must still be mentally exhausted in that simulation.

as he began to drift away in his slumber, I feel myself getting pulled away, I guess I'm waking up again.

Before getting pulled off, the last thing I saw is the noble-looking girl walking to a sleeping Fujimaru and then

*SLAP*

A loud sound was as I feel myself wincing from the slap.

that's the last thing I think as the light pulled me away.

Chapter 4: Sovereign's Search Begin.

10/29/2030

"Oy Master, wake up we're almost close"

I hear a male voice as I slowly open my eyes, The first thing I saw is white and red, after getting my vision properly working The one who wakes me up is none other than the red archer himself, Nameless.

"Oh, morning nameless, are we there yet?"

"No, but we are close, I wish for you to rest more, but I want you to be vigilant in case something happened."

I simply nodded at his words, something might indeed happen today so it's better to stay prepared, right?

"C'mon now Archer, relax a little bit, let the kid rest, plus we are her servants, right? Let, we do the battle and let her cool off.

The Lancer clad in blue, open his mouth and said that.

"Even still, it's better to be prepared than ever, plus we servants also need to teach our inexperienced master to remain vigilant."

"Inexperience? I don't think it's inappropriate to call little missy here inexperience, she survives probably one of the most disastrous events known to mankind."

As they continue their banter, I only look at the horizon of the ship we are aboard as I begin to collect my thoughts on what's happening so far, half of the regalia is missing, and we don't know where it is, but if my dreams were anything but incorrect, then it must with that person.

Fujimaru Ritsuka.

A boy who yes certainly has an attractive face, but it's nothing amazing compared to the many heroic spirit's that I met.

As I think, I turn to my side and saw Nameless also looking at the horizon, it seems like his banter with Cu finally settles down.

Not feeling to start a conversation I just look ahead of me and just let the same wind hit my face.

"Something bothering you?"

Initiating the conversation, Nameless asks me. With no reason to hide things, I tell her what I'm thinking.

"I just wonder what his motivations are if he did steal the ring on purpose. Based on my dream he doesn't seem like a bad guy, but even then I only saw a fraction of what he did so I can't be certain."

After I tell him that, as if on cue, the boat begins to sway roughly and, in the ocean, there emerges a big hydra-like creature.

My eyes widen, as I see the creature. How? This is the monster from the dungeon, why is it here? Enemy programs shouldn't be allowed to leave the dungeon, I made sure of that.

Then how?

No! It's not time for me to theorize, I need to help the crew first.

"Cu! Distract it, while Nameless will try to shoot him, I'll get the crew to the safe zone.

"""Roger""

After running off inside the shield I instructed the crew to gather in one place while I use my regalia to make a shield for them.

After seeing that they gathered up in one place, I put my hand in front of them.

Concentrate, feel the use of your mana in the surroundings, and let that flow in my body than to my right hand, then use the regalia's power to increase its durability.

I can't use the regalia recklessly, since half of it is gone so I don't still fully know what function it is lost, so I just need to use the infinite mana it draws from the mooncell itself to at least make the protection more durable. After confirming it was secured, I head back outside to support Cu and Nameless.

Getting out of the ship I saw that Cu is distracting it easily while Nameless is sniping it.

We need to finish it quickly; we can't let the ship get destroyed.

"Cu ready your Noble Phantasm, while me and nameless will shoot to distract it!"

"Got it, Master!"

"Nameless!"

"I know!"

I extended my hand in a firing position, and as I do that Nameless, brings out his drill like a sword.

I began to focus and just like before let the mana around me flow into my body using my old and letting it flow through my hand as I do that, a ball of curse made of mana began to form in my hand.

"Code Cast: Gandr!"

I announce as the blue ball of energy grows rapidly before firing it.

A big explosion occurs, as the sea monster yells because of the pain, and then

"CALADBOLG!!"

A blue arrow looking like a shooting star was fired by the red archer, as it was about to hit the monster, the blue-clad spear wielder, unleash his attack

"GAE BOLG"

In contrast to the archer's arrow, The Lancer Servant throws his spear toward the monster, beaming with crimson light that screams death.

And then...

BOOOOMMMM

A large explosion was ignited far bigger than my attack, the wind is stronger, while the sea creates big waves.

I held to the railing of the ship, trying to not fall into the ocean, luckily the ship is made to fight against big waves and strong storms, so it should still be ok.

The explosion clears only to see the monster with two big holes in its body.

The monster whimpers in pain as it slowly started to disintegrate into a bunch of 1s and 0s, most likely it starts to regenerate back in the dungeon, so there's a possibility that we might face it again in the future.

The two servants run up to me to see if I'm ok if I were guessing, but all I hear is ringing in my ears, I feel my energy getting depleted, as I started to lose my conscience, and the last thing I see is Nameless and Cu's worried face.

I feel my body, but at the same time I don't, I feel alive but at the same time I feel like I'm dying, though I'm not scared for some reason.

I look ahead and there I saw the Regalia floating in front of me, I tried to grab it, but a bright light illuminates and then, in the place of the ring I saw a figure in front of me, it was a boy, just judging by his body then by instinct, I began to get closer to him as he has also begun to walk closer to me.

As he stands in front of me, we both unconsciously raise our hands and then touch.

At that moment…

I felt our being became one.

10/30/2030

I open my eyes only to see a white ceiling, feeling tired despite getting a night of sleep, I slowly sit on the bed I was laying on, looking to my left there's a window.

Taking a peek without getting up I see that we are already on the shore.

That probably means that we are on Bredon then.

"I see that you are up."

I hear a voice looking to my right I saw Nameless sitting while sipping a cup of coffee.

"What time is it...?"

I ask and notice my voice dry, seeing me as that Nameless gives me a glass of water.

After receiving it, I gulp it in one go, feeling the refreshing and cold feeling down on my throat I let out a sigh of satisfaction after finishing my drink.

"It's almost noon, you are so out yesterday you know."

I tried to get up but was unable to, I tried again to no avail.

"I advise you to not move around too much master, you've used too much mana to the point that your body becomes sore."

I see, so that's why, but even so, why did I get exhausted quickly, is it because of the regalia? The Regalia is an all-powerful device, You have infinite mana, and that one thing can make it so powerful, if I get tired I can just reinforce my body so that exhaustion won't come at me the moment I reinforce my body.

"What happened after I passed out?" I ask.

"Another one of the enemy programs appeared and attack a ship not too far from where we are at that moment. It's a ship from a servant, and knowing whose ship belonged, I am not worried, but then…"

"What? What happened after that?" I ask because Nameless, for the first time since I met him looks confused as hell.

"Well, a weird thing happened."

I hear another voice accompanied by the sound of the door opening, the owner of the voice being Cu Chulainn himself.

"What weird...?"

"Well how can I put this into words, it's like your entire being become light and vanished."

"…What?"

"I wish I am sugarcoating it Master, and wish I can make a bad joke like Lancer here, but it did happen, you were gone for almost one minute but then you suddenly appear again, and your mana become dry before getting it refilled by the regalia."

"Roasting me aside, what the Red Archer says is true, and I'm tellin' ya, you got me scared to death, though your mom here actually panicked and began to overthink after you disappear."

Cu laugh seemingly getting his revenge because of Nameless's remarks before, while Nameless just coughs with a very noticeable blush on his face.

Seeing him be embarrassed is a nice once change for a while.

"*cough*cough* anyway, I have begun to investigate when you are asleep on my own, and gather some information."

It's time to get back to serious mode.

"What did you find?"

"I ask around the port and find out that El Draco herself took a sail, because of a passenger wanting to go to the Millennium Capital. And that Passenger is a male with a ring that looks like yours."

"Then that means, that...!"

"Yeah, that's probably the guy, so if my hunch is correct the incident in the ship, and you disappearing, might that guy be using the regalia, and yours reacting to it because the two rings are close."

"I need to call Tamamo quick!"

This is my chance if I manage to get to him there, I might know some answers.

Who are you Fujimaru Ritsuka

And…

Why do I feel like I know you already?
