Under the Root

Just like that, time flew by, and at exactly ten o'clock, amidst the children's dissatisfied yells, Li Lin quickly took off the lion puppet, and then sat down next to Artoria's chair while wiping his sweat.

"Here. A gift." Li Lin sat down, and then handed a lion puppet the size of two palms into Saber's arms.

"What do you mean?" Artoria said as if suppressing something.

"No, isn't that right?" Li Lin pointed to the activity sign at the park, which read impressively—accompany the children for 15 minutes to play, and give a delicate lion puppet, such a slogan.

"I didn't ask you this." Knight Wang Surong said, "Why did you do this?"

"There is no reason, as I said, today you are my girlfriend. So isn't it natural to give you a gift?" Li Lin asked back.

“…”

"Besides, I have been forced to do this kind of thing countless times ten years ago, but now I don't have the slightest difficulty in doing it." Li Lin said things that were completely unworthy of mentioning in a boastful tone.

"Because I know that I like lions, did you deliberately choose this time to come here to shake my heart? It's really scheming, Li Lin." Artoria said with a look of seeing through you.

In response, Li Lin rewarded her with a hard chestnut.

"It hurts, what are you doing, Li Lin!" Artoria covered her head subconsciously, and then shouted dissatisfiedly at Li Lin who showed an expression of finally returning.

"Women who wantonly speculate on their boyfriends are disqualified."

"Couldn't it be...uh" Seeing Li Lin then show his fist, Saber closed her mouth wisely.

"Don't worry, Saber, a date is a date, I don't have the energy to still intrigue when I need to relax." Li Lin gently stroked Artoria's head with his hand, and said with a smile.

"This doesn't convince me, Li Lin. As a magician, how could you waste time on these insignificant people."

In this regard, Li Lin shook his head, carelessly ruffled Saber's golden hair like an educational love song.

"I am me as a magician, I am me as a boyfriend, and I am me as an ordinary person. Which guy stipulates that magicians cannot have rest time?"

"..." Artoria fell silent again.

Although she knew that this might be Li Lin's trick, she was unavoidably shaken.In the era when the king had not yet become a king, there was such a person who said similar things to her.

[I am me as a king, I am me as a father, and I am me as an ordinary person.Which guy stipulated that King Uther could not secretly visit his children? ]

So, in order not to shake her heart again, Arturia asked.

"Li Lin, as your girlfriend, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Well, ask."

"What is your purpose for asking me to be your girlfriend this time?" As long as you lie... Artoria trusts her intuition, and as long as Li Lin tells her a lie, the girl will change again. As the King of Knights, there will never be any flaws again.

"Well, I was generalized." Li Lin said with a wry smile.

"Can't you answer?"

"No, it's okay to tell you the purpose. There are three general purposes."

"First, interfere with the alliance between Einzbern and Tohsaka. If Tohsaka sees you so intimately with me, no matter how you explain it, he will feel resentful."

Indeed, Arturia nodded in her heart, this is a real conspiracy, and it is impeccable as a strategy.

"Secondly, be prepared. Letting you be my girlfriend will allow me to be fully prepared to complete the work I want. The alliance between you and Tohsaka surprised me a lot."

"But, since this is the case, wouldn't it be more appropriate to ambush and kill a group first?" Arturia asked back.

"If your instincts weren't that keen... I would have done it a long time ago."

Is that so, did he choose to strengthen himself before the sneak attack where the outcome is unknown? It seems that Li Lin still has some leeway.

"So, what about the third one?"

"The third one." At this point, Li Lin coughed, and said awkwardly, "Because I have a crush on you, Saber."

"what!!!"

At this time, Artoria really panicked, because she felt that Li Lin also did not lie this time.

So under this sudden "confession", Artoria was shaken like never before.

"Lily, I have fulfilled my duties as a boyfriend." Li Lin got up and gently held Artoria's shaking hand.

"So can you really be my girlfriend for only one day?" Li Lin said with a smile.

“…”

Another moment of silence.

But this time, after being silent, Arturia gently let go of her fist, and put her hand in Li Lin's warm palm.

Chapter 41 Live for you

Perhaps she was moved by Li Lin's words, although Artoria followed Li Lin passively afterwards.But whenever Li Lin chooses a store, she will follow up with light steps.And whenever Li Lin chose a gift for her, she would obediently put it away with a slight smile.

Although during this process, Diarmuid showed up three times in a very unsightly way, but at any rate, this one-day date came to an end smoothly.

[Master Li Lin] Diarmuid's respectful voice sounded in Li Lin's mind.

[What's up? ]
