Crown Dead

"No, no—that, anyway, I'll call you—"

"Archer, that's fine."

Ba Yuqian interrupted Xianyu's words, and the latter could only nod his head.

After the other party left, Xian Yu sat alone by the city wall, carefully staring at the system screen.

[The branch mission is officially opened—to bring the servant Ba Yu back to life until the mission is over] [Reward INFERNO] [Supplementary mission targets who die or leave the field ahead of time will be counted as failures] "..."

It was not just because the system screen popped up after a long absence, but also because Xian Yu finally remembered the status of the titles "Scorpion" and "Ba Yuqian" in Chapter 7.

Scorpion - one of the 12 sons of Tiamat, the leader of Warcraft.In the end, he was killed by Ba Yuqian.

Ba Yuqian——one of the heroic spirits summoned by Gilgamesh, who gave up his life to kill the scorpion, is a heroic spirit who has already left the scene before the opening stage of the plot.

"So... what she just said..."

At this point, Xian Yu finally understands why he suddenly triggered a side mission at that time, and why Ba Yuqian feels that he "doesn't exist".

Because of his actions, Ba Yuqian, who was supposed to die in the [preparation period], survived.

If the whole plot is compared to a stage play, then Ba Yuqian is a "ghost" who should have left the stage but didn't, and has no place on the stage.

Everything was caused by the swooping that I had hardly thought about at the time.

——...Just my own existence has already changed the plot, so how will the people who should have died but not die have any impact on the plot?

Xian Yu was thinking about this, but he didn't show any troubled expression, on the contrary, he showed an imperceptible smile.

"That's great—even me, who is so meaningless, can change someone's established destiny."

For the first time, Xian Yu felt that something had really changed because of his own existence.

"As long as you survive—"

Xian Yu stared at the bottom of the north wall, the blue moonlight shining on the ground.

"Xian Yu, halfway there, I realized that you didn't follow me at all, and I was introducing myself like an idiot...!"

Ba Yuqian's voice came out, Xian Yu turned his head following the voice, and saw the other party walking towards him with a somewhat angry look.

"Eh, eh?"

The change in aura was too drastic, Xianyu looked at Ba Yuqian walking towards him with a dazed expression.

"You're a human, right? You're still on the edge of the city wall at this late hour. Even if you're confident that you won't fall, you'll catch cold easily."

"...???"

"Although it is an assassin, this is the front line after all, and it is necessary to develop relationships with other soldiers. Don't squat here alone. I will take you back to the room arranged by the chief priest to say hello to everyone."

"Wait, wait a minute—"

Xianyu was dragged away by Ba Yuqian's left arm, like flying a kite.

——Is this the kind of persona? ?It turns out that just a second ago, she was still questioning the meaning of her own existence. Is Miss Ba Yuqian who has no memory this kind of persona? ?

Chapter 30. Eating and Drinking

"Then—to welcome our new master who is also a comrade-in-arms (coolie), cheers—!"

"cheers!"

"Hey! Let's not talk about why you put brackets in your words, but I can hear those two words!"

"Illusions, illusions, soldiers returning from the battlefield for the first time will have more or less strange hallucinations!"

"No, no, this is not a COC running group, how could it be possible."

"A guy who is too fussy won't find a girlfriend, Xian Yusang."

"I just don't want to be complained about by a British self-propelled gun king like you!"

"This is where I excel. Do you want to learn from me!"

"Of course I do!—it hurts!"

The hall of a small private house in the town of Uruk was shrouded in light at this time, and many people gathered around the table talking and laughing.

But unlike other rooms, the people sitting here are basically all so-called heroic spirits, except Xianyu and Roman who is not on the screen.

"That kind of behavior must wait until the hearts of the two are combined with each other, and each other has an irreplaceable affection for each other. It is still too early for you now."

"It feels like your character is getting weirder..."

Ba Yuqian was sitting at the table, while beating Xian Yu's head with a hand knife to "eliminate evil thoughts", while explaining his views on marriage and love, while Xian Yu was complaining softly.

"In short, that's it. Aside from the days of eating dirt on the grassland, this is your first night in Uruk officially. Although the task of repairing the singularity is very arduous, you must not forget the most basic rest because of this. And relax—especially for me, I didn’t touch fish for a whole day today, which is simply enough to be recorded in the annals of British history!”

Merlin raised the cup in his hand and gave a speech with great vigor.

"Don't affect the whole country because of this kind of shit! Of course, if you can make it a legal holiday, I'm in favor of it."

"Doctor Roman, have a little backbone."

"No one will remain sane in front of paid vacation, Matthew, you must not understand!"

"...doctor, at least."
