I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Is Shinji nice to Artoria? That must be good.

From the Holy Grail War when the two first met until now, Shinji has always been thinking about Artoria consciously or unconsciously, and has never thought of repaying him.

When they first met, let Scathach step in to treat her injuries and fight off powerful enemies.

A meeting of the three kings, talking loudly. It sounded harsh, looked ridiculous, and acted like a clown among the kings, but when you think about it carefully, it was to expose her fantasy and make her realize the reality.

Weiyuanchuan fought a fierce battle with the Sea Demon. Toscaha found the scabbard of the sword, retrieved the strongest ace she had lost during her lifetime, cured her curse, and finally killed the Sea Demon.

The final battle at Liudong Temple allowed Lancelot to regain her sanity, kill her strongest enemy Gilgamesh, and untie the knot in her heart through her most valued first knight, making her finally willing to face life. The ending, get the peace you deserve.

When they saw each other again, he recognized her immediately. Even after 5 years, he still cares about her.

I feel annoyed that she has not broken her obsession, and I feel sad that she is imprisoned by inhibitions.

She still remembers the joy he felt when he learned that she had entered Avalon and found peace.

During the subsequent Holy Grail War, although he was not around, he always arranged her affairs very well. Whatever she wanted, he would find a way to arrange it.

And when her child, the rebellious knight who ended her dynasty, appeared, he tried his best to resolve the misunderstanding between the two so that they could get along like normal relatives.

What he did for her had already gone beyond the boundaries between master and servant, like a partner he had known for many years - or so she thought at first. But after talking to Mordred, she discovered something different.

He treats her differently from Merlin, Guinevere, and the Knights of the Round Table.

She wanted to know the answer, which was why she came to him at this time.

"You asked this."

Upon hearing Arturia's question, Shinji's eyes were slightly dazed.

"Maybe it's because I like you."

A few days ago, Shenji would never admit it honestly, even though this love is somewhat different from the love relationship between men and women.

He might find some high-sounding reasons, or he might talk about him in a discriminatory way, or he might say something that he doesn't realize is cool and handsome. Because at that time, he was very impetuous and worried that telling the truth would leave a bad impression on Arturia.

But after a series of things, he put aside those little thoughts that seemed ridiculous now, completely calmed down and became the truest version of himself.

He also believed that with the character of the King of Knights, he would never get angry for telling the truth. He would simply refuse directly or say a few words that he should focus on the battle in front of him.

Arturia's reaction was basically what Shinji thought. After a brief surprise, he quickly recovered and said in a slightly heavy tone:

"I'm sorry, Master. I can't respond to your feelings right now. I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I would feel weird if you responded. And to be honest, I don't know how to classify this 'like' and how to deal with it? What you said made me feel a lot more relaxed."

There was a flash of complexity in Shenji's eyes, but Arturia didn't see it.

"Thank you for your understanding, Master."

"Then continue to be partners and comrades-in-arms."

"Well, I'll leave the rest until the war is over. I hope we can all survive by then."

Arturia naturally took Shinji's extended hand and said goodbye after a while.

This truthfulness and magnanimity are what Shenji admires most about her, and at the same time, he cannot help but feel a little regretful.

"I originally thought I could see a bit of panic or blushing, but instead I was stunned for a moment and my hair curled up. Is it because this is not a confession at all? Or is it that fifteen hundred years have passed, so your mentality is more mature? Or is it simply that the favorability level is not enough? Haha, such a comparison to the coyote is really amazing."

Someone who is in a state of self-complaint has no idea that he has not guessed anything correctly. The reason why Arturia's reaction was so weak was because of Mordred.

Just imagine, if Mordred, the king chef and father-controller, talked to Arturia, how would the two of them get along next?

In fact, the way of communication has not changed much, but the time the two of them spend together has significantly increased. In Mordred's words, she wanted to know how her father had been living these years. What have you experienced?

After talking about these, it is inevitable to talk about their respective masters. So Arturia told Mordred everything about her relationship with Shinji.

Although Mordred is a problem child, she is still much better than her father in terms of common sense. It is probably her mother Morgan who taught her better in this area.

When I heard that Shinji had done so many things for Arturia, my first reaction was that this guy had evil intentions - for example, he wanted to be her second father, he wanted to be her second mother, in short, he just fell in love with his father. .

At that time, Mordred became angry and prepared to draw his sword to kill someone. But considering that that guy was his father’s master and had strong fighting ability, he could be considered a meritorious person by being able to communicate so harmoniously with his father, so he didn’t really go. Instead, he told Arturia what he was thinking. She was guarded against her Master.

Arturia didn't believe it at first, but after Mordred's persuasion, she was a little shaken, so she went to her master for confirmation. In the end, Mordred really got it right.

Because of Mordred's vaccination, Artoria's reaction was not as big as being "confessed" without any precautions. Before coming here, Arturia also thought about what to do if it was true.

The answer was just as Shinji heard it - he couldn't respond now, leaving the rest of the words until the end of the war.

Wait, something seems wrong?

What this means is that if I don’t reply to you now, I will give you a formal reply later.

But there are a few explanations and polite words interspersed in the middle, and the meaning is different. At least in Shinji's understanding, it is rejection (tragedy), and it is still a tragedy without any delay.

Arturia, who returned to the room, was still thinking about her feelings for Shinji.

Hate? Definitely not annoying.

Are they partners and comrades like Gawain and Lancelot? Not quite.

Merlin, who is also father, teacher and friend? Neither.

The King of Knights, who had never experienced this feeling before, fell into distress. She recalled Merlin's nagging before she was summoned - Arturia, you are no longer the king. When you finally have the opportunity to go out, just enjoy life as an ordinary girl. Do you want me to teach you some experience in making a boyfriend, falling in love, etc.? I'm very good at this.

Could it be that Merlin really told him right?

PS: After all, he is a famous online scammer and has rich experience in love.
