He doesn't like this guy.

Thin and small, he can be lifted casually with only one hand.He was barely a Heroic Spirit before, but now, he isn't even a Heroic Spirit anymore.

It's just a human being.

It's just a human being who can only make him look down.

Before meeting this guy, the man was forced to know that he forgot a very special person for a very special reason.

He scoffed at this and didn't take it to heart at all.What is there to care about?Impossible, it is impossible for him to have something "too special to forget".

The man named Cu Chulainn, but in fact he couldn't be regarded as the real Cu Chulainn, was indeed sneering, and the same cold eyes were filled with mockery.

It is not easy for him to show this sarcastic expression the first time he learns the "truth".Because the man who defines himself as a weapon seems to always only see the battlefield he needs to go to and the enemies on the battlefield.

Logically speaking, after coming to an inexplicable place and hearing some inexplicable words, the man who seemed to have no emotion on his face snorted very boringly, so he should remain indifferent and go back alone.

but.

He didn't go back.

It must have been stopped by these messy and eye-catching flowers, it was so annoying.In the sea of ​​flowers that still can't see the boundary at a glance, the man just walked straight forward without any purpose.

Where he passed, there were only fragments of flower stems and branches cut off by sharp thorns and trampled by his feet.

The beautiful sea of ​​flowers at first glance was ruthlessly destroyed in this way.

But the man's red eyes were as calm as stagnant water, as if he was ignorant of why he was going forward, why he was staying, let alone why there was anger screaming in his heart!

If he hadn't cleared up the doubts that made him more restless in time, or if he hadn't been able to see the not-so-strange scene in his eyes at that moment, he might have continued walking aimlessly Bar.

However, the fact is that finally at a certain moment, Cu Chulainn stopped abruptly.

The water of the lake blocked his way.

In this sea of ​​flowers, there is actually such a small lake.

No.

If you take a closer look, you will find that this "lake" is not formed naturally, but is a huge hole blasted out by someone in an extremely simple way. After the accumulation of rainwater, it has changed from a hollow to a lake, and it has become another flower. The existence of complete destruction of the world.

In Cu Chulainn's eyes, slowly, it seemed that during the period when he was stagnant and never took a step, a color darker than red appeared.

He was expressionless, but involuntarily squeezed the magic gun in his hand.

How could he remember now?

When the existence of a certain person has not been erased... No, the timeline has to be moved forward a little bit.

Because of an accidental contract, he came to this seemingly peaceful but dark world, and he had to endure the so-called "tranquility" every day, staying beside a weak waste, and only part of the time was able to leave that guy and go to the sea of ​​flowers that he could not see On the verge of killing the offal that tries to get involved in the "flower".

He never showed mercy when he was beheading. There was a warrior's instinct in it, and there was also a need to vent out of just the right time. Maybe, there was something else. He didn't think too much about it, and he didn't even bother to think about it.

On the way back, I was covered in blood, and it was very troublesome.

He didn't want to be nagged, and he probably didn't want to take the dirty blood back. In short, every time, he had to change the direction a little bit halfway, and first went to the lake formed by the hole blasted out by his treasure. Wash off the blood on your body.

After cleaning, the already turbid lake water suddenly turned bright red.But it doesn't matter, the water will be absorbed by the soil soon, and when the next rain comes, a new, clean lake will form again.

At this time, the tall and cold man, who had to bear the impatience to do one more troublesome thing, should really leave.Of course he won't linger or dawdle, on the contrary, he has to move quickly.

Because, if the speed is slow, the idiot who waited in the wooden house for an afternoon and still hasn't waited for him to come back will push the wheelchair without any trouble, find him slowly, and shout behind him...

"Berserker..."

— Berserker, I found you.

Just stopping here, Cu Chulainn, who was staring at the incomparably clear lake in a daze, suddenly turned around and looked back as if he heard something suddenly.

In fact, he heard nothing, and naturally saw nothing.Except for the long and narrow road, the remaining flowers trampled by him.

The "memories" mentioned earlier are even less likely to actually appear in the mind of this man who was stunned again. He doesn't remember or know that in the past that was erased, these seemingly Ordinary, but inexplicably feel like something to worry about.

So, after standing by the lake for an unknown amount of time, Cu Chulainn really went back.

What he returned was not the wooden house that had changed owners and the new owner had already left, but the one he was currently in, Chaldea.

At the moment when the spirit was transferred, another thought flashed in Cu Chulainn's mind that would only make him restless.

He who was once the enemy of the current master Fujimaru Tateka, why did he answer the call and come to this place.

Don't talk about "on a whim", or simply "want to protect human reason".

He even forgot the reason.

It was closely related to that reason, he never cared about anyone other than the enemy, and he thought he didn't care.

……

"I don't care about what you say, but you really care about it."

The other, should be said to be the real Cu Chulainn, said this while holding his chin after giving up the boring idea of ​​trying to hook up with "myself".

The blue spearman has always been a bold and enthusiastic character, and he dislikes twists and turns the most. It is in stark contrast to the berserker Cu Chulainn who has been blackened by the Holy Grail.

"Hey, don't stare at me, I'm sincerely advising you. Al... Li, is that the name? Isn't he resurrected and back again? If you like it so much, then go find it quickly He said, I really don’t understand, why can it be delayed until now, Berserker’s ‘I’!”

The current scene is like this.

The man who was as dangerous as a wild beast was sitting by the wall alone, as if he just wanted to close his eyes and rest, but the other man barged in without knocking on the door, and said these boring words.

"It doesn't make sense." He said these four words in a flat, emotionless voice.

"Wait, wait, what are you saying that doesn't make sense?"

"Speak clearly, why am I getting more and more confused about what you're thinking?"

"Hey, hello!"

"...It's so noisy!"

Originally, he didn't plan to talk to people after leaving those four words, but the blue gunman was so noisy that the beast was so annoyed that he opened his eyes with murderous intent.

"The guy didn't come back, he left."

"What? Who's gone, Ellie? Where?"

"how could I know."

"No, it should be why you don't know! Didn't chase him? Even if he didn't chase him, he didn't even ask where he went?... I said, although my own emotional problems are...a bit confusing, but I absolutely I won't be dawdling like you!"

"..."

Really did not chase, nor asked.

Only during the three months when that person was taken away, he also searched outside, and finally found him in a certain forest.

But that's where the progress stops.

Cu Chulainn didn't show up at all.Stopping at the back, looking past the back of the Knight of the Round Table who was in the way, he could only vaguely see the corner of the figure that was not fully covered.

That's all it took.

I still remember the weird feeling at that time.It seemed that at the moment when he looked away, the irritability that had been pressing on his heart for a long time was getting heavier and deeper, and the real "peace" that he had never experienced in his impression was also at this moment It came quietly.

Cu Chulainn was very uncomfortable.

He searched for it in silence, and left in silence. He thought he would be fine after the annoyance that had bothered him for so long disappeared, but——

"Not only has it not disappeared, but it has returned, more restless than before—is that so?"

"...You talk too much nonsense, get out of here."

However, the blue spearman not only didn't obey his orders to leave, but sat down cross-legged, pretending to have a long talk with him all night.

"For the sake of you being me and I being you, forget it, I can only stop here."

Surprisingly—actually, it's quite concise.

Probably thinking that the man in front of him would not listen no matter how much he said, and he himself was not a relationship consultant, so the gunman chose the most straightforward method.

"On the premise that you really care about him very much, think about it."

"It's definitely not an enemy who wants to kill him, so what do you want to do? Take him away from others, or are you more inclined to possess him and have sex with him..."

"Okay, I'll stop here, and I'll probably be the one who was killed. All in all—"

"Think about it, what do you want to do to him?"

"One last thing to remind you... that Ellie is now a human being."

……

After the blue spearmen left, the room belonging to the mad king Cu Chulainn was dark.

He was just sitting by the wall with his eyes closed, so it didn't matter whether the room was dark or bright.

However, perhaps the man who should close his eyes indifferently and let himself be surrounded by dead silence has not closed his eyelids for a long time.

Unknowingly—since the gunman said those few words—the nails dug deep into his flesh, his face was so indifferent that it was almost cold, but his eyes flickered A red glow full of danger.

"Tsk."

Such a small murmur came from the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the man's face, which was even more gloomy in the darkness, finally revealed what could be called a "gloomy" look.

The resurgent anxiety was in his heart again, his head was clamoring.

It could have been suppressed originally, but the words spoken by the other self collapsed and shattered the line of defense that could barely be called rational.

"There's nothing to think about, it's just ridiculous."

"If this is called caring..."

The smell of blood became more and more intense, although it was all his own blood.

Finally, he understood what he wanted to do to that guy.

I should have remembered it from the first moment I saw that weak guy.

——As expected, he wanted to take him away, regardless of anyone's objections and obstructions.

——Sure enough, I want to tear him apart.Also disregarding anyone's feelings, she hooped him under her body and devoured him completely.

human, human...

Whether it is a heroic spirit or a human being, that trash is too weak, too weak.

So incompetent and so soft, he just needs to be guarded.

Will suffice.

*****

When Airlie was found by Cu Chulainn, his car just broke down and stopped in the middle of the extremely narrow straight road in the vast plain in the dusk that was about to be replaced by night. There was no way to repair it, let alone keep going.

It is still unknown how far away from the nearest town, which was his original destination.

In addition, the luck was really bad. Ellie planned to wait for the passing vehicles to see if he could find some kind people to help him. However, he stood here waiting until the sun was about to set, and there was no car passing by.

Although he learned to drive during this trip, and followed the rules and took the driver's license test seriously, it was obvious that his preparation in advance was not sufficient, and it was really a mistake not to learn how to repair a car along the way.

"No way, there is still such a long way, do you want to walk over..."

He stood next to the second-hand car he had just bought from an enthusiastic (somewhat over the top) kind boss at a price that was almost free, and his expression revealed deep thought when he was lost in thought.

It is not impossible for him to walk to the small town in front of him step by step, but he must consider the possibility that he will faint from exhaustion in the middle of the walk-this possibility seems to be quite high.

However, if you insist on staying here and waiting for help... Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, who knows when vehicles will pass by?

As a result, after some hesitation, Ellie still decided to stay and wait. After all, he was quite reluctant to give up the car he finally owned.

According to the rules learned before, a broken down car cannot be blocked in the middle of the road, and you have to find a way to get it to the side of the road.But Airlie circled his car, frowning, bewildered.

The car didn't know what went wrong, and it couldn't drive at all.

Anguishedly thinking about a solution, Ellie turned around the car again to no avail.Thinking that he couldn’t just do nothing, he would at least give it a try, he took a deep breath, walked to the rear of the car that had been smoky for a long time, rolled up his sleeves——

Start pushing the cart.

"come on!"

"..."

"...Come on...Failure...Sigh."

The wheels seemed to be stuck to the road with glue, and Elley pushed it with all his strength for a long time, not only did not move at all, he didn't even give him a face-shaking shake.

On the other hand, this person who really worked hard was already out of breath and exhausted while wasting his energy in vain.

"So nostalgic for magic... Ah, if I were still the old me, not only would I not need a cart, I wouldn't even need a cart..."

Anyway, I used to be a Caster, and the most convenient magic I used was the teleportation magic, and it took only a few kilometers to travel in an instant.But now that he has become human again, magic can only recall memories and exist in fantasy.

There is no choice but to maintain the status quo.Regarding the possibility of wandering alone on the road in the middle of the night with a broken car-such a lonely and dangerous situation, Airlie is not very desperate, but the physical fatigue is still unavoidable of.

"Ah, when will someone pass by—"

Moaning so softly, Ellie leaned down on the rear of the car rather dejectedly.

Although the appearance is not very beautiful... and his tied-up hair was half wet with sweat while pushing the cart, and most of it was messy, which can be said to be very disregarding the image.

What he thought was probably that since there was no one around anyway, this appearance would not be seen, so he just relaxed completely.

Well, relax a little bit, and pour out the frustration and depression in my heart by the way...

However—this is how life is, it always makes the least expected accident happen, and the person involved is caught off guard.

Ellie only rested for a few seconds before suddenly hearing the voice of a speechless man who seemed to be mixed with the coldness.

"Idiot, what are you doing?"

Airlie: "...!?"

Obviously, he was frightened, and he almost instinctively propped himself up to stand upright, as if nothing happened just now.However, the man who appeared behind him without making a sound didn't give him time to react.

Ellie was picked up.

Holding the back collar, he lifted it up steadily, keeping the soles of his shoes a few centimeters above the ground for about two seconds, and the next moment, he landed safely on the ground.

The next moment, his and Cu Chulainn's gazes collided, and they fell into a brief look at each other.

It always feels like it's been a long time since I saw you.

In fact, it has indeed been a long time since I saw it.When he woke up that time, he didn't see Cu Chulainn.

Cu Chulainn is of course still the same, and the appearance and essence of the heroic spirits will not change, because time is actually stagnant for them.

Ellie needed to look up at him, and his neck was tired, but he didn't seem to feel anything, his eyes stayed on the man's familiar indifferent eyebrows, and he couldn't look back for a moment.Until the man who was also watching him in silence frowned even more tightly, and an understandable impatience finally appeared on his face.

"Ask you, call me back."

He asked impatiently.

Ellie opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his voice got stuck temporarily.

His first reaction was to ask Cu Chulainn why he came here, but then he thought that the answer was obvious, and there was no need to ask any more.The voice turned around on the tip of the tongue, and then changed into another sentence that sounded very natural:

"My car broke down, this one. I can't drive it, I can't push it, I can't ask people passing by for help."

Speaking of this, Airlie said more naturally: "It just so happens that you are here-can you do me a favor, Cu Chulainn?"

Cu Chulainn: "..."

baffling.

It was as if he would come all the way here to find this cornered idiot—it was inexplicable.

From the disgusted look in the man's eyes, we can see the four clearly written words. However, Ellie didn't know whether he really didn't see it or pretended not to see it. He put his hands together and made a very sincere request: "please!"

"Help me push the car to the side of the road, oh, if you can fix cars, that would be great."

Cu Chuulin was silent for half a second, as if grinding his teeth.

"Hey, in your eyes, am I the one who came here to repair your car?"

Ellie: "Just right, just right."

The inconspicuous stiffness when he saw Cu Chulainn before was quietly replaced by a relaxed smile, and Airlie stepped aside consciously, making way for the man who helped him a lot.He tilted his head at the side, looking as if he was very upset because of his request - but the man who still acquiesced unhappily took off the hood of his car with only a few fingers.

The black smoke that had originally piled up under the hood suddenly burst out, revealing the rather appalling scene underneath.

Cu Chulainn: "..."

Airlie: "...Sorry, I really don't know why this happened."

—What the hell have you done to this car, idiot!

Cu Chulainn probably wanted to ask this first, but finally endured it without saying anything.

He has never been interested in the means of transportation used by modern humans, and has not had much contact with it. He understands it all by the common sense that is automatically instilled in his brain.At this time, Cu Chulainn didn't intend to use the usual methods mentioned in "common sense" to repair this scrapped car.

A flicker of light appeared on the fingertips, and he let the light spot that could outline the shape of a letter fall quite casually, and the magic power invisible to the naked eye fluctuated in a flash.

Afterwards, the black smoke disappeared.

The circuit that was still burning a second ago seemed to be restored to a brand new appearance in an instant.

Ellie was unavoidably surprised and said, "This is... a rune?"

Cu Chulainn only hummed lightly, without any unnecessary explanation.

At this time, he finally picked up the slightly deformed car cover that had been thrown on the side of the road, and it seemed that he was about to put the cover back on quite simply and roughly. Suddenly, as if he had found something extra, he paused again. for a moment.

"what happened?"

"..."

Cu Chulainn buckled the front of the car and pushed it casually.

He didn't use much effort, but the whole car was still shaking—accompanied by a strange rustling sound from inside the car.

Cu Chulainn's red eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

"Hey, what did you put in there?"

"Why do you ask—well, they were all gifts I received on the way. The people I met were so enthusiastic, I couldn't find a chance to refuse, so I just put them all away and put them in the car..."

Before Ellie finished speaking, he saw that the expression on the man's face, who had just closed his eyes slightly, suddenly changed, as if a layer of black air had enveloped him, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

"Gifts? All of them?"

The narrow compartment is filled with messy "gifts".Basically, they are flowers that are showing a tendency to wither, and they are all held in big bouquets. In the center of the bouquet are inlaid cards with words of praise written in gorgeous to exaggerated strokes.Of course, those words of courtship confession are indispensable.

"You're really welcome—hmph."

Cu Chulainn sneered.

At the same time, the car hood that he had raised before fell as he wished, but it didn't return to its original position, but—with a bang, it smashed through half of the car parts that had been repaired with great difficulty.

There was more black smoke than just now, but Cu Chulainn didn't care about it at all. He even raised his hand again and set off the broken car carrying many gifts from Airlie's suitors with all their hearts. The gift turned into the weeds beside the road.

Airlie: "..."

"Wait a minute, I still need it to go to the town ahead—well, what should I do now."

Something more frustrating happened to him than being trapped in the wilderness with nowhere to ask for help just now.

But the situation now is different from before.

Although Ellie was helpless, for some reason, he looked at the completely scrapped car, and then at Cu Chulainn who was staring at him with a dark face, inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Under normal circumstances, he couldn't bear the urge to smile, so he really moved the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud.

"Cuchulin, you really haven't changed at all, you're still like this..."

Cu Chulainn looked down and said in a bad tone, "Say something straight."

The descriptions he could guess were nothing but those not-so-good words, and he didn't expect to hear any good words.However, in Ellie's mind, this man, whose mentality has been obviously affected by his rage, not only has no deterrent effect, but also has a relatively cute place.

Without giving him an answer, Al stretched out his hand calmly using his usual posture.

Cu Chulainn glanced at him: "What do you want to do?"

Ellie smiled: "The car is broken down, I can't really walk by myself."

He stretched out his hand persistently, making it clear that he wanted the man who could scoop him up to help out again, and reluctantly served as a "means of transportation".

"One last favor, take me to the town ahead, okay?"

"No."

"Huh, you refused so simply? Then I beg you again, please help~ okay?"

"Do not--"

"Alas, the car I bought with the money I saved from part-time jobs along the way broke down after only a few days of driving, and the gifts given to me by those enthusiastic people are their wishes..."

"...I'm so annoying, shut your mouth!"

"Good~"

If the goal is achieved, of course there is no need to ramble.

Ellie was first picked up by a man who was a head taller than him, and then he was put on his shoulders by the man.Thanks to the striking difference in stature after comparison, he was able to sit down, and it happened that he was able to take advantage of the sudden increase in height and enjoy looking into the distance to his heart's content.

The setting sun has not completely sunk behind the distant mountains.

The remaining soft light fell freely in his blue eyes.

On the way forward, the man does not speak, only he speaks.There was a sentence that was said without a word, regardless of whether the silent man listened to it or not.

"I rented a manor near that small town."

"Although there are not many people here, the scenery is very good. There are large plains, lakes, and distant hillsides."

"If I didn't see you here, I would be alone..."

"It's okay."

Maybe, probably.

Even if it doesn't work, he really hopes - on the premise of not making others sad or disturbing others.

"OK, no problem."
