Lost Narrative Poetry

Is this person poisonous? It's definitely poisonous!

Tohsaka Rin's eyes twitched again, and a black line appeared on her forehead. She seriously doubted whether this guy was trying to pretend to be a human. Although in other aspects, he acted perfectly, very realistic and vivid——

But it is only in this aspect that there is a bug, unable to correctly understand the mapping relationship between human emotions and behavior?

Does he have any misunderstandings about "good friendships", "respecting teachers" and "respecting them very much"? Otherwise, how can we explain the huge discrepancy between his serious words and reality?

And it seemed that he didn't hide it at all. He just said such words before, and then told the actual situation in the blink of an eye, without seeming to think there was anything wrong with it at all.

Trying to control her chaotic thoughts, Tohsaka Rin looked extremely strange. She looked at Xia Ran, looking at him up and down, not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, the black-haired girl with twin ponytails asked cautiously, as if testing: "If that's the case, then why does Sister Artoria have such a good relationship with you?"

"Is there any cause and effect?"

Xia Ran asked back very calmly, picked up the teacup in front of the table and took a sip.

As if having a psychological shadow, Tohsaka Rin looked at the cup he picked up, then looked at the cup in front of him, pursed his lips, subconsciously reached out to push his tea cup aside, and pulled it away slightly. some distance.

Then she calmed down and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't pretend to be stupid. If Sister Artoria followed you because of threats, how could she have such a good relationship with you? I don't think she has such a character. .”

Although he had no choice but to live in Ryudou Temple temporarily during the Holy Grail War, they got along with him for a while, so Rin Tohsaka naturally had a certain understanding of the King of Knights.

After all, it was a Saber, and possibly the strongest among Sabers.

Participated in the Four Wars ten years ago and continues to appear in the world until now...

Because Saber is still her obsession for many years...

Because his father died unexpectedly and there was not enough relevant information left at home, Tohsaka Rin did not know that the strength of heroic spirits did not lie in their ranks, but in their origins and aptitudes, so just like ordinary magicians, he had some Unreliable knowledge——

"Saber's panel is balanced, the best, and is recognized as the strongest class."

At least that's what she has felt over the years. Before that, she had been presupposing that she had summoned Saber, and had made many rehearsals and plans for the Holy Grail War... although none of them were very reliable. .

But after all, she had been thinking about her for so long, and even if she gave up her unrealistic thoughts about the Holy Grail War, she would still inevitably pay more attention to Artoria subconsciously.

Subconsciously, I can't help but fantasize, what would it be like if everything went normal in the Holy Grail War and I could summon the strongest Saber like this?

——The ability parameters of the entire panel are basically all EX...

——There are also unique skills beyond the standard such as A-level "clairvoyance" and EX-level "protection at the end of the world"...

——The Noble Phantasms are also terribly terrifying, either the terminal spear Lungominiad, the Holy Sword of the Star, the Sword of Oath of Victory, and the scabbard of Avalon, which is actually a miracle that has reached the realm of "magic"...

Honestly, does this panel really make sense? That is to say, Tohsaka Rin has never seen the world, so he thinks that the strongest Saber should be at this level. In fact, it may be that the composite panels of several crowned heroic spirits are difficult to piece together to achieve such an exceptional result.

But more than these, what Tohsaka Rin cares about more is the King of Knights himself.

Serious character, loyal and upright, strong personality and unwilling to admit defeat...

The girl who stayed at that moment of fifteen years old turned out to be the true form of King Arthur, who was famous throughout the ages. Thinking about that dazzling era and that glorious legend, one really wonders how her thin shoulders supported the darkness of the world and the injustice of fate.

Tohsaka Rin felt that just imagining it was very unbearable. It can be expected that his imagination would never be as good as the real suffering and hardship that the other party endured.

She admired the young queen very much, but because of this she firmly believed that with the character of the other party, it was impossible for him to succumb to coercion and inducement. Even if it was impossible, the most he would do was to be conceited and look for opportunities to fight back, instead of resignedly accepting his fate.

So thinking about it carefully, Tohsaka Rin felt that what the magician said was not credible, so he was naturally skeptical.

"There are actually very complicated reasons for this..." Xia Ran said casually, as if he was deliberately trying to be unpredictable.

"It can't be Stockholm Syndrome, right?" The black-haired girl with twin ponytails curled her lips and said doubtfully, "Why don't you just take advantage of this period of time to cook the rice while she and you are there? Got a kid or something?”

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran's body suddenly stiffened slightly, and her expression was somewhat unnatural.

Did this guy really hit the target by mistake, or did he just hit the target because he has always been willing to slander himself in the worst possible light?

He looked at the girl in front of him with some suspicion, hesitated for a moment, but still failed to capture the thoughts emanating from the other party in the air and analyze her shallow thinking and psychological activities.

"Huh? Your reaction... is very suspicious!" Tohsaka Rin keenly caught the magician's unnaturalness. She was stunned for a moment, and then stared at it with contempt as if she was looking at something dirty. other side.

"Wait, wait! No, it can't be. Could it be that you really did such a despicable thing?!"

"No! And don't look at me with such a rude look." The magician denied decisively, and at the same time pointed out that Tohsaka Rin looked at him in a very rude way.

"I don't believe it, you're obviously having some evil intentions in your mind!" But the girl looked like she had seen the truth clearly. She put on a classic pose from a detective animation, pointed her hand at him, and shouted loudly.

"You don't believe it if you don't believe it... Anyway, there is no such thing." The magician thought for a while and felt that he was not afraid of the shadows slanting, so he did not need to get entangled with this problem child.

Rin Tosaka puffed up her cheeks and looked around subconsciously. She happened to hear the movement coming from the entrance. When she looked up, she saw a blond knight girl with blue eyes walking in, holding the hand of a silver-haired little lolita.

Arturia's face was full of softness. She lowered her head and comforted Ilia gently, and was saying something.

Illya, on the other hand, seemed distracted, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried once, and when she was led in by Arturia, she couldn't help turning her head three times with each step, looking reluctant to leave.

It seemed that there was something that haunted her at the door at the end of the entrance hall.

"Sister Artoria!" Tohsaka Rin shouted decisively.

…

…

Let's move the camera to the entrance and go back in time a little bit by two or three minutes.

"You're not... mother...?" Ilia let go of her hand, raised her little head, with red eyes, and said tremblingly, her tone seemed to be asking, but also seemed to have confirmed, and even more like it was already confirmed. Desperate look.

In fact, she should know how the person in front of her could be her mother...

My mother is dead, just ten years ago, in this city. After we came out that winter with my father, we never went back again...

Outside the window was the cold wind and snow, the howling wind, and the familiar snow scene repeated over and over again. For the next ten years, the young Illya stayed alone in the cold winter city, spending the last of her childhood.

But... the person in front of me really looks so much like him! It was so similar that even though she knew it was impossible, Illya still couldn't contain the fiery emotions bursting out from deep in her heart. Then... after her hope was shattered, what followed was a deeper despair.

"My name is Charlotte."

The maid with a face as delicate as a doll answered the big loli's question calmly.

She had gotten rid of the strange feelings just now. Although she was still affected to some extent, which made her heart soften a lot, it was not enough to make her say anything on this matter. White lie.

"But... why are you like your mother..." Illya's eyes were red. Although she accepted this cold reality, there was still a trace of hope and doubt deep in her heart.

"Ilia?"

Following the light footsteps, another girl with blond hair and beautiful emerald green eyes walked out of the living room and saw Illya standing at the door. .

"Yes, yes..." Big Loli was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "You... you know me? Are you the owner of this place?"

She looked at Arturia expectantly. Although she didn't know the other person, she could feel the super huge magic power in the other person. Even though it was hidden, she could still vaguely feel it because of her own special characteristics. get--

What a huge wave behind that calmness, like an eternal storm tearing apart the earth and the sky.

As long as it is no longer restrained and released wantonly, it can easily swallow up the wrath of the entire world.

It's not a normal human being, but it's definitely not an existence comparable to the level of a Heroic Spirit Servant. At least from a magic point of view, Illya feels that this person is probably the same existence as a "god".

So...this is the owner of this place? The culprit who came to this world and created the changes in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City?

"I'm not, Master is..." Arturia had already arrived in front of her, but she shook her head when she heard this.

"M. Master?" The big Loli was completely stunned. Could it be that this god-like existence is just a servant, and there is a master behind her?

"You and your mother...are very similar." Looking carefully at the big lolita with silver hair and red eyes, Arturia couldn't help but glance at the head maid next to her, and then sighed like this. In between, so many years have passed without realizing it.

But that experience still left a deep impression on her. It was her biggest regret not being able to protect the pure and kind princess like an angel.

Although the original situation was beyond her control, Irisviel, who was designed as a Holy Grail weapon, would die as the Holy Grail War progressed even if she was not killed by external forces.

"You, you know my mother?" Ilia opened her mouth in disbelief.

"Yes, I participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and it was your parents who summoned me..." Artoria nodded lightly, then shook her head, with a trace of obvious sadness in her expression, " It’s just that a lot of things happened later and I failed to protect Aili..."

Illya was completely stunned. Is this really the case?

The Servant summoned by Mom and Dad ten years ago? Are you still stuck in this world until now?

What happened during this period? Why did she reappear in Fuyuki City ten years later? This time the Holy Grail War turned into this, and what role did she play in it?

The big Loli had too many incomprehensions and confusions, and her heart was full of hesitation and anxiety. She felt that there was hope, but she also subconsciously maintained doubts and vigilance, and did not dare to believe Artoria's words easily.

Who knows whether what the other person said is true or false?

Moreover, even if it were true, something happened to his parents during the Holy Grail War ten years ago, but only the servant they summoned survived. Who knows if there is any hidden secret...

Arturia sighed. She could see Illya's complicated mood and knew what this big loli was thinking. After all, she had A-level clairvoyance, even a little bit of future vision or mind reading. Did it.

She felt helpless and distressed about this.

It's just that the original situation was too complicated and she couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, but she did not betray Irisviel and the others, and now she has made up her mind to help Ellie take good care of Illya.

She hesitated for a moment, then gently reached out and touched the big Loli's head, feeling the soft silver hair, and said softly: "I probably already know your reason for coming. Don't worry, I will help you with this matter." your……"

Illya's body trembled. She just subconsciously wanted to break away from the other party's hand when she heard such a sentence and suddenly felt that her heart skipped a beat!

The big loli suddenly raised her head and stared at the girl who was not much taller than herself. Her voice became trembling, as if she was pleading or praying. She was confirming like this——

"Really? Is it really possible?!"

"No problem, although it may be a little different from what you imagined..." The King of Knights nodded slightly. She thought about it and felt that there was no problem even with her own knowledge base.

Although it is impossible to completely resurrect the dead, and the situations of Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel are somewhat different...

"Please... please..." Illya couldn't believe her ears. She stuttered and her voice sounded like crying.

Her two small hands tightly grasped the girl in front of her, refusing to let go, as if she was afraid that she would wake up from her dream if she let go.

"Don't worry, come in with me first and see what the Master has to say..." Arturia gave her a gentle smile of relief, took the initiative to hold her little hand, and walked into the living room.

Illya followed closely, then thought of something, and kept looking back at the silent head maid.

Charlotte, who always had a calm expression that could be said to be indifferent, also gave her a rare gentle smile, which made the big loli feel somewhat at ease.

"Sister Artoria!"

As soon as I walked into the living room from the entrance, I heard a loud shout.

The King of Knights was comforting Illya after hearing the words. He subconsciously raised his head and saw Tohsaka Rin on the sofa, staring at him with bright eyes.

"What?"

"I want to ask you what's going on with this guy's child!" Tohsaka Rin played a little word game. She didn't ask the other party if she had a child with the magician, but first Assuming that this matter is true, ask Artoria directly for the specific situation.

Such a sudden attack can often reveal the truth!

"You...how do you know?" The blond knight girl with blue eyes suddenly panicked. She turned to look at her Master angrily and anxiously, "Master! Did you reveal it?"

Acknowledged Mordred, and played the roles of parents with the Master respectively...

For her, she was still ashamed to talk about it and didn't want outsiders to know!

"well……"

The magician sighed and looked in other directions in the living room without wanting to speak.

"Ha! That's true!" Tohsaka Rin sneered, feeling that he had finally confirmed the truth, and coldly pronounced the words like a sword: "Scum!"

"That's not the case..." Xia Ran replied weakly.

"You still refuse to admit it?!"

"This is not a matter of admitting it or not. It is mainly due to very complicated reasons..."

"Al... Huh! A girl who likes you is really blind!" Tohsaka Rin originally wanted to say Artoria, but felt that he couldn't be so straightforward, so he said this coldly.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense without any evidence..." The magician was a little angry. What does it mean that a girl likes him is really blind.

"Isn't it? A scumbag like you just relies on underhand tactics to play with girls' feelings..." The black-haired girl with twin tails switched to contempt mode, and at the same time she became more determined to stop Sakura. "Can you name more than ten good things about a girl who likes you?"

"Although I can't name more than ten advantages of girls who like me, I can name more than ten girls who like me..." The magician gave her a weak look and simply broke the jar. replied.

No matter what she said, she would definitely doubt herself in the worst direction.

"..."

"..."

Tohsaka Rin was silent. Isn't this even worse?

(PS: I was called out to shovel soil again at around 4 o’clock today. I was told that sand, gravel and cement had covered the yellow line of the nearby driving range, and asked me to clean it up...orz)
