The number one heartbreaker in Hong Kong and black

"I'm leaving." Ryosuke Araki never looked at the diamond again, "I have something to deal with."

"..." Merlin frowned unobtrusively, reached out to try to hold him, and shook his head at him, "Ryosuke, you don't need to do this."

Merlin has clairvoyance, and he never forgot to pay attention to the situation of Ryosuke Araki when he was in Xiongying, so he naturally saw the intricate events that happened in Yokohama.

It can be said that he is like an indifferent audience watching a movie. Although Merlin is always amazed by human behavior, no matter whether it is ugly desires, plundering schemes or complicated nature, he can no longer shake his heart. up.

As a non-human who has been "alive" for thousands of years, Merlin doesn't feel that Ryosuke Araki needs to get involved in the mud. Apart from saving humanity, he hasn't asked for trouble for too long.

And as someone who has experienced it, he can assert that there is absolutely no need for Araki Ryosuke to involve himself.

But he regretted it the moment he stretched out his hand, Heroic Spirit had never seen such a cold face of Araki Ryosuke.He dodged Merlin's hand and took a step back, putting some distance between him.

"Melin, thank you, but I'm sorry." Ryosuke Araki said, "I want to go back to Yokohama."

He distilled one conclusion from what Merlin had said - he knew what had happened.No wonder Merlin asked Arthur to bring him to Xiongying's side, probably because he wanted him to avoid this storm.

Because every indication is that if the whole thing is going to end, it can only be tonight.

"It's not that I want to actively participate, but that I never left."

After his words fell, Merlin seemed to realize why the Avenger would surpass Gilgamesh to become the next heroic spirit to be summoned in an instant. The same icy aura between the two perfectly matched at this moment.

Edmond, or, more precisely, should be called the avenger of the King of the Grotto by the world. In the book "The Count of Monte Cristo", the heroic spirit who betrayed his relatives and endured humiliation for several years, with the flame of hatred and resentment, is the most suitable for Araki at this moment. mediated object.

He must have had a sense in the dark, so that he would appear predictably before his emotional outburst.

Well, Merlin glanced at the shadow of the other party - there was an avenger hidden in the dark, and said to himself, the count will take good care of him.

"There's someone I need to clean up." Ryosuke Araki looked up at the sky, his eyes darkened, and he sneered, "I've said it before, no one in front of me can leave after half-talking."

——In other words, no one can reveal half of the truth and decide the future beyond his will.

Osamu Dazai, you are too arrogant, does he really think he will let him die?

What's even worse is that he actually took this bloody purple diamond as a birthday present for Ryosuke Araki.

A round of bright moon hangs high, casting water-like brilliance to the earth, the breeze rustling the dark leaves, like a weeping song, and in such a wind, I don’t know why The dark clouds that come from time to time gradually infect the moonlight.

"Try not to use the ability." Merlin said, he didn't plan to let Arthur give him a ride, or himself, no, "You can't control it yet, and most people can't bear the consequences."

It was the greatest concession that he hadn't prevented him from going.

"Can I use the wind?" Araki Ryosuke asked.

"Yes." Arthur said, he interrupted Merlin, looked up at Ryosuke Araki, "of course."

Araki Ryosuke looked in the direction of Yokohama, then he turned his head and nodded towards Merlin and Arthur, walked slowly up the hillside, stepped on Xiongying's lawn, turned over a ramp, and disappeared completely.

……

Just after confirming that he was gone, Merlin looked at King Arthur.

"...I'm sure I'm not the one who lied." Merlin said, "If the king wants to fight me with silence, this petty temper can't scare me."

"No, you are." Arthur's expression turned cold, his words were light and superficial, but pointedly pointed out the mistakes that the court magician of Great Britain tried to hide, "You lied, he is not the Holy Grail."

"But he did absorb the Holy Grail."

"It's different, and you know it better than anyone else." Arthur said with some pain, "I've been thinking about the significance of my coming to this singularity. Lord, for her craving for the Holy Grail is twisted, unsettling and deadly evil, but Ryosuke Araki..."

Thinking of the name Shatiao Aige, it seemed that a bloody smell reappeared from his hands, and those sticky blood flowed like poisonous snakes, slowly wrapping around him with a cold breath.

As a follower who abides by the morality of knights, King Arthur never thought that he would kill his master one day.

And the evil nature of this girl named Satiao Aige has broken through the bottom line of the King of Knights, causing him to struggle in contradictions. In the Holy Grail War, she did everything she could to win the Holy Grail War, violated her beliefs many times, and did something he could not do. Forgiveness.

In the end, he chose to kill her so that the whole world would not end in destruction after the other party won the Holy Grail.As a price, he also dissipated in this world immediately.

——Then, he came here.

When he appeared, Ryosuke Araki was trapped in a room full of bombs.

As the young master of Hong Kong gangsters, Araki Ryosuke has often encountered various attacks, both in secret and on the surface. Regarding this point, he himself will consciously guard against it.

And the failure of the negotiation that time was really unexpected. The Italian mafia made a sophisticated layout just to lure him into a trap, and the support from Hong Kong and black was delayed due to the lack of expectations.

Arthur landed in front of Ryosuke Araki, who was tightly bound on the interrogation chair, blindfolded with a black cloth, surrounded by bombs with 30 seconds left in the countdown, like a cheerful tune The beeps kept ringing.

Arthur stared blankly at the lower half of Ryosuke Araki's face. He hadn't recovered from the numbness of killing the previous master, so he blinked slowly, and three seconds passed bell.

Instead, Araki Ryosuke licked his dry lower lip, and his hoarse voice broke the silence: "Is anyone there?"

Arthur didn't speak, he stood where he was, wearing a cloud of gloom.

As if he got some message from his reaction, without giving him more time, the voice of this strange 15-year-old boy ordered firmly.

"—Help me, take me out of here immediately!"

The words of the tyrant gave Arthur a shock in his numb heart.

It’s too hard to describe this feeling—it’s as if someone stepped forward and slapped the King of Knights severely, making him recover quickly from the chaotic state, and those entangled lines in his brain were pulled away broken.

Arthur woke up.

He immediately stepped forward and half-kneeled to untie the restraints on Ryosuke Araki's body. The other party bit his lip and endured the rubbing of the wound without saying a word.

In order to avoid more unnecessary pain, King Arthur cut off the shackles on those interrogation chairs with the sword that killed the Master just now, tore off the black cloth that blindfolded his eyes, and then hugged the other party up.

Feeling the other party leaning into his arms dependently, almost immediately, a tenderness that was almost forgotten by him rose in Arthur's heart-this is what he wanted... Appearing as the image of a guarding knight.

I am Arthur Pendragon, he said to himself from the bottom of his heart, I am the Knight King of Great Britain, I was born to protect the people, the country and the chivalry, as a king, I fought to the death for the country, as a heroic spirit, I still fight to save.

This is the first meeting between him and Ryosuke Araki. He rescued him from the bomb that was about to detonate. Correspondingly, Ryosuke Araki made him understand what the image he really wanted to be.

Arthur will never forget this experience, although as a person thousands of years ago, he already has too many memories, but this first encounter will still be classified as a part worth remembering by him.

"...Is it that important that he is the Holy Grail?" Merlin asked back, "My king, you know very well that he is completely different from Satiao Aige. He never forces the heroic spirit to do anything against his will, nor does he ideas imposed on the world, so you think he is evil?"

"..." Arthur was silent.

He recalled his first encounter with Araki Ryosuke again, and realized that what Merlin said was right, it was his thinking that had gone into the fog.

But what they were facing was the holy grail, filled with too many ugly desires, black undercurrents surging, he was just too worried that Ryosuke Araki would get lost.

"The evil in this world...was born at the same time as the Holy Grail," Merlin said. "I don't question the future in this prophecy, and you came following the Holy Grail, but maybe you should have more confidence in him."

Arthur's expression softened slightly.

"—Do you think he is someone who is easily influenced? Besides, has he heard what you say and cooked for you?"

After this sentence fell, Arthur suddenly remembered the words of the order in his memory and the scenes of getting along with him in normal times, and couldn't help lowering his head and secretly pursing his lips into a smile.

"What... Merlin, what does this have to do with cooking?"

Even so, his smile widened.

For many people, Araki Ryosuke is a very easy-going person, he can take care of different people's moods, and never said anything overly offensive... And Arthur was the only one who was said in a commanding tone people.

This made him feel very special, just like the knight on the chessboard, after the human life was exhausted, he still used his soul to fight for his lord.

And...Although Ryosuke Araki is in Yokohama, it is really cute to send him snacks that he made himself from time to time.

So he said: "... I know, I'm sorry, how can I not believe him?"

"That's right. But I still have to emphasize, the eternal curse of Great Britain-King Arthur is serving dinner! Don't pretend that one of the reasons you have a crush on him isn't because of Ryosuke's excellent cooking skills."

"Push."

"My lord, you laughed." Merlin teased. He bent down and looked at the expression of the King of Knights with a look of surprise—for Arthur in this different world, there was only a faint smile on his face. , so this smile surprised Merlin.

"Nothing."

"Oh, who is the one who is lying among us now?" Merlin said meaningfully, and the flower magician still stared fiercely at Arthur's face, "It's too late to chase Ryosuke, he probably hasn't left yet Far."

Realizing that his expression had betrayed his emotions, Arthur hastily restrained his childish smile, and at the same time covered his face with his hand, and said angrily, "Don't look, Merlin!"

"I'm sorry," Merlin said in an unapologetic tone, and then, with an earnest expression on his face, "But are you really not going to chase after him, my lord? The situation in Yokohama is chaotic, and your little friend may be injured."

"……Do not."

If Ryosuke Araki is safe, he has no doubt that the Count of Monte Cristo will protect him, and he has other things to do——

An evil force is spreading outside the Yokohama Concession, and in the gloomy mist, humanoid monsters called "ghosts" that can eat people appear out of thin air, especially Shizuoka, which is why he works in Xiongying.

He could feel that when the mist appeared, it was quite consistent with the dark breath passed to him by the Holy Grail, and he didn't regard it as a coincidence.

Arthur glanced at Merlin, and slowly said: "You know why, I have to stay in Xiongying... Besides, I have a hunch that Ryosuke will come here soon."

He believes that Ryosuke can handle the situation in Yokohama and the influence of the Holy Grail, and he will bet on the dignity of the knight and the glory of the sword to protect him.

"..."

He and Merlin exchanged glances.

"What shall we do now?"

"……eat supper?"
