【Roman Guda】Meet by chance

"I was born of someone's wish."

...It was indeed a trivial and unspeakable desire that belonged to that man alone, hovered in his heart for only a moment, fleeting like a shooting star but yet such a strong desire.

Thinking of this, although the woman in black still frowned, she seemed to smile slightly: "Yes, I am the Holy Grail."

Her body was surrounded by black air, and the black mud that still had vitality seemed to be struggling to swallow her up.She seemed to be trying to fight against them with her own will, her face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

Gu Dazi was stunned.

Her explorations so far have not encountered a living Holy Grail...

"So, how do you... have life? The Holy Grail possesses the appearance and intelligence of a human being, this, this is impossible..."

Gudazi began to panic, and couldn't help speaking incoherently.

"I have drifted in the long river of time and space for thousands of years, just to... return to the person who gave birth to my wish in the first place." The woman in black began to struggle to keep standing. personally.Gu Dazi followed her line of sight and found that her eyes were lingering back and forth between Solomon and... Roman.

"Hey...doctor, you..."

Gu Dazi couldn't help but glanced at Romando, so he waved his hand in fright when Roman was watching him, and said with a bitter face: "Except for, except for the Holy Grail War, I... I really haven't made a wish. ah……"

The woman in black didn't speak, but closed her eyes lightly.

She was originally so weak that even Chaldea couldn't detect her Holy Grail reaction at the beginning of her birth. She could obtain the shape and self-will in the drift of time and space, and finally return to the person who gave birth to the wish. Words have no regrets.

It's a pity... from the moment she was born, she fell into the chaos tide of God Tiamat and was polluted by black mud.Although she returned to this promised land, her behavior could not be well controlled by herself.

Destroy this dynasty, destroy this country, destroy these people... let them all die.

When the raging flames of the burning palace were reflected in the ruby-like eyes, and when she personally delivered the silver knife into Solomon's belly, these thoughts were the only thoughts that were circling in her mind, which was almost eaten away by the black mud.However, when the black mud cut off its source and stopped proliferating, her "origin" and self-will began to fight against it.

I still remember that it was an ordinary night spent by the girls who saved humanity in Uruk. After cleaning the river and returning to their residence, they had a round with their partners.Everyone sat around talking and laughing. The beautiful and gentle priest personally prepared sweet butter cakes for them after a hard day. Surrounded by such a warm scene, the orange-haired girl couldn't help sighing.

"How should I put it...it really feels like a student dormitory?"

How did the farsighted magician who was thousands of miles away at that time answer?

"That is to say, this is the crisis of the collapse of human reason, the last singularity. But, after all, there are so many people living in the same home, and it will inevitably become a group. It is very important to get used to Uruk, as long as Being able to understand the lives of people in that era will definitely help you. Whether you are crying or laughing, you will encounter them in battle. Now it’s good to relax and enjoy yourself?”

"...you must be lonely if you can't join us, doctor?"

The orange-haired girl showed a complex expression of regret, sympathy and regret.

After all, it is... a companion who has been with you from the beginning, if you don't care at all, it is impossible, right?

The man who heard her question like this couldn't help being taken aback. He has always restrained his emotions very well.Even so, at that moment, the word "sorrow" was clearly written on his face, who was completely unprepared, and the dark river called Lost was quietly flowing in his blue eyes.

God knows... how envious he is.

But he quickly came back to his senses, and smiled to comfort the girl who looked even more depressed than him: "Well, it is true. Miss Siduri's cooking looks delicious too. Lixiang, don't worry too much Me, enjoy the short reunion. But I will also have an all-night supper banquet with the staff of Chaldea tonight? We have a lively thing like a student dormitory here every day, so I am not lonely at all .”

Lied.

Once, again, and again, he lied again.

Roman smiled wryly and glanced at the swollen instant noodles in his hand that had completely cooled down, ordered two drops of eye drops for himself, rubbed his sore eyes, and continued Chaldea's command work, working continuously for [-] hours without a break.

but……

At that moment, maybe even he himself didn’t notice, a strong desire emerged from his heart—for once, even just once, to get together with everyone, to sit around like this with everyone Laughing, enjoying delicious food, even if the future is full of hardships and dangers, even if he dies in exchange for this one and only happiness, he doesn't care.

However, such thoughts can only exist in the sea of ​​consciousness after all, and cannot be realized.Not to mention fulfillment—even the moment it flashed by, Roman felt that it was a blasphemy against the work he was currently doing, and a strong sense of guilt imprisoned him.

This kind of thing... can't be said at all.

After all, there is not much time left for him...

Roman scooped up a spoonful of soaked rotten instant noodles, hesitated for a while, and finally put it in his mouth.

He was the predestined dead, the victim, and he had known it clearly from the start—he had no future.

Being able to spend a hasty ten years as a human being like this, he is already very satisfied, and has nothing else to ask for.

But—the gods took pity on him again.

At a certain moment and somewhere he didn't know, a holy grail the size of a fist was born from his wish.It's a pity that he was polluted at the moment of birth-until the end of the Temple of Time, he had no chance to know that there was still a chance to realize his wish, which was so close and so far away from him.

... This is her origin, which belongs only to the Holy Grail.

That person...has he come back?Seems to be doing okay? ...Then her mission should be over, right?

That being the case, there is a story about her, and there is no need...to let them know.To be the last to die as an enemy is also a tribute to a hero, right?

After the last part of the black mud was blocked by the girl with a shield, the Holy Grail, which had been drifting in time and space for thousands of years, began to slowly disintegrate.

"Please don't hesitate to destroy me completely." At the end, she burst into a relieved smile, "Good people, congratulations, you once again defeated the darkness."

As the firefly-like silver light spots slowly rose into the sky, only a holy grail the size of a fist remained on the ground, and there seemed to be a wisp of black air faintly entangled on it.Gudazi was about to step forward to pick it up, but was stopped by Solomon raising his hand.

"Dangerous. Touch it after you think it through."

After he cast a spell, he slowly stepped aside and retreated behind Gudazi, letting her freely decide whether to keep the Holy Grail or not.

"Hmm...why is the Holy Grail so small this time?" Chaldea's Roman looked completely out of order, "Wow, why is it still a bit dark...! Can it be recycled!"

Gudazi didn't answer, she just stepped forward, reached out to touch, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down.Although the Black Holy Grail's last words and smile made her a little concerned, but it was still...

"Matthew," she turned around, sighed, and finally decided to respect the last wish of the Holy Grail, which only had her own will, "Use the back of the shield and smash it."

"Yes!"

"Ehhh?!"

In Roman's exaggerated yelling and the girl's firm answer, the distant ideal city that had guarded the light of human reason countless times finally fell.

"It's quite miraculous to say... In this way, the exploration has ended smoothly, right? The time-space correction has obviously started, but why doesn't it seem to exclude you who don't belong to this era?"

On the way back to the palace, Gu Dazi and Matthew followed at the end, listening to the doctor in the command room of Chaldea biting his pen and asking questions.

"Well, it may be because our identity here is 'Egyptian princess and her dear bodyguards' rather than 'humanity correctors' in the true sense. To a certain extent, it can be said that we have used a cover-up, so we can stay here Let's go..." Gu Dazi also rested his chin and pondered, "So we have to return to the city manually this time, doctor, is the spirit seed transfer device ready?"

"Standby."

"...Why are you so anxious," Solomon, who had been walking in front of him in silence for a long time, suddenly spoke.Gudazi was startled when she heard the words, she thought he wasn't even listening!

"You helped me solve my confidant's troubles. You are both a meritorious minister and a princess, and I haven't rewarded you yet... Whether it's public or private, you should take a day off and leave the next day, right?"

"This……"

After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and after reaching a consensus, Gu Dazi nodded and said, "Okay, thanks to you for taking care of me."

Solomon's dark golden eyes stared at her. Although she didn't speak, she seemed to be able to feel the other party's sigh, as if she was saying... why is she still so raw.

Well, that's called being polite...

To be honest, Gudazi didn't sleep well that night.

Although she was sore all over her body when she got back to the palace, she lay on the bed happily for three hours and took a warm bath comfortably without anyone urging her or rushing her, but The source of people's nervous tension... It really is that King Solomon who is sitting by the bed and reading a book quietly at the moment. No matter what she hints, he does not respond and is indifferent, and does not let her occupy the double bed alone!

... His Majesty Wang must not know how good it feels to be lying on the bed alone in a large font in the afternoon.

After finally falling asleep in a daze in the second half of the night, she was troubled by nightmares again.In the dream, in King Solomon's palace, seven or eight Rahmu were chasing after her.Finally, she saw a person with her back facing her. That person had long fluffy white hair, which looked as soft as pure white wool.She was overjoyed and rushed over. Before she could say hello, the man turned around—ah, it was...a Rahmu with Solomon's haircut.

Gu Dazi was woken up from the dream alive.

However, when she just woke up, she saw a man lying beside her pillow with his head propped on his hands, his long eyelashes were not trembling, and his dark golden eyes were staring straight at her without blinking.The figure of this person was very familiar, and Gu Dazi, who was not yet conscious, saw him as Rahmu in a blink of his eyes, and rolled off the bed in an extremely tragic posture with a groan.

"Oh brother, you scared me to death..."

Gu Dazi pressed his chest, and even forgot to use the honorific, which shows that he was really frightened.

"You, what are you watching without sleeping in the middle of the night?! Hiss!"

She sat on the ground with her hands on the ground, and belatedly realized that she might not be in a good landing posture and slipped to her waist.

"Look at you."

The other party's answer was extremely straightforward and concise.

Gudazi was sensitive to the fact that the other party did not use honorifics, so she deliberately ignored the feeling of strangeness that crossed her mind, and responded with a hypocritical and flattering smile: "What's so good about me... I don't think I've had acne recently... ..."

Solomon didn't answer, he just sat up slowly, got out of bed in an extremely elegant posture, squatted down in front of Gudazi who was unable to move due to backache and backache, and looked at her at the same level.

As the moonlight shone into the room, his tough and handsome eyebrows seemed to soften a bit, but those golden pupils were still bottomless.His hair was too long, and it made her hands itch a little, but she couldn't move now, and it was very painful.

"What reward do you want?"

"Eh?" Gudazi was taken aback by the sudden question, "What?"

"Pearls, jade, gems, gold, whatever you want, you can have everything." He tilted his head slightly, as if recalling something, his voice was very soft, "...They said that no one would hate these things."

Before Gudazi could answer, Solomon took her hand and put his own on hers.After a while, a ruby ​​of excellent quality appeared in Gudazi's hand. The transparent and full oval gemstone looked extremely clear under the quiet moonlight, shining with a mysterious and attractive bright red luster.

"..."

Gu Dazi was dumbfounded.

Well, isn't it a bit overkill to use the magic of the king of magic to transform these things? No, no, no, it's too wasteful, isn't it?

"...You don't like it?"

"I like it, of course I like it," Gudazi replied very frankly, but at the same time she took Solomon's hand, put the gemstone back into his palm, and closed his hand, "You are right, no one I would hate these. But I like to appreciate beauty, not to possess beauty, and beautiful things make people feel happy physically and mentally even if they look at them from a distance...Are you right?"

"But you deserve it."

"I know, it's just... I don't need it. If you really want to reward me with something," Gu Dazi said with a shy smile, "Just the bruise ointment from last time, it works amazingly well .When I fell just now...it seemed to flash to my waist."

Solomon: "..."

Looking at the back of the other party who finally left, Gu Dazi sighed heavily.

The other party is the king of wisdom, so he will not understand what she means.

only……

Please let him quickly bring the ointment or call Matthew! ! !She can't move like this now...won't she have to sit until dawn...

With a bitter face, Gu Dazi seriously considered whether to turn on the newsletter and talk about life with the doctor all night.
