Proposed by the most beautiful you in the world [Comprehensive]

I don't know how long he has been standing here.

Anyway, he was standing here when the first ray of morning light came down from the top of the mountain and a few bright lights began to appear in the sky.

——With a resolute attitude that always feels very intimidating, as if he had made a major decision overnight, he waited motionless at the gate of the room where he slept.

As soon as Matthew, who was the first to get up, opened the door, with the reaction speed of a sub-servant, he almost reflexively raised his shield and smashed it.

"Ca, is it Mr. Caster?! I was shocked because I thought it looked too much like an enemy at first sight!"

Fujimaru Tachika, whose hair was in a mess, was following Mashu with sleepy eyes. He suddenly raised his eyes and saw the scene outside the door. When did you come, Caster? No, the point should be——when did you wake up?"

Obviously before going to bed yesterday, the heroic spirits who had been carried all the way by Bedivere were still lying quietly, showing no signs of waking up.

Who knew that after one night, he was full of energy—well, he couldn't tell if he was mentally active—blocking the door.

"First answer the first question. In terms of specific time, I was standing here two hours, 35 minutes and 26 seconds ago."

The Heroic Spirit who accidentally pinched the time with incomparable precision had a serious tone, but for some reason, there seemed to be a subtle accusation in the subsequent words.

"The second question. I woke up when you were all asleep last night. The exact time is unknown. Because I needed to think about the problem, I sat on the hillside behind me for a while, and then at the time I estimated that you might wake up, coming."

Matthew: "..."

Fujimaru Rika: "..."

Qi Sheng: "I'm so sorry for not getting up as early as possible due to the bad habit of staying out of bed!!!"

Didn't actually stay in bed.

However, in front of Caster, who was seriously injured and wearing a heavy armor shell, and stood in the cold night wind for so long, the conscience of the master and the sub-servant girl was suddenly poked, and the words of refutation were unexpected. exit.

Airlie: "No, it's also because I was too excited to finally reach an important conclusion, which came too early."

There was no trace of excitement in the voice, but it's not surprising, after all, the few words Caster said to everyone in Chaldea were in this tone.

Fujimaru Tachika asked rather strangely: "Then what important conclusion did you draw? Could it be that you came here early in the morning—no, did it have anything to do with us?"

"Yes, that's right, that's right."

After saying three words with similar meanings in a row, Ellie was very happy that Tatsuka Fujimaru could understand him so quickly.

He announced in a slightly cheerful voice that seemed to be heard not long ago. If you listen carefully, you can recognize it, and the ending sound slightly raised: "I have decided to give up the plan of acting alone."

——Isn’t this the correct conclusion that should have been drawn long ago based on realistic considerations?

Fujimaru Tatsuka refrained from complaining, because there was obviously more to come after this sentence, so following the words of this heroic spirit who faintly revealed a bit of repressed nature, he continued to ask coaxingly: "Hmm, then?"

"Then, I thought about it."

"Human master Fujimaru Tachika, who is on the mission to save humanity, if you can endure that I am useless in battle, and you can give such useless me such precious tolerance..."

"So, although I can't sign a contract with you—can I stay and be your companion? After I wake up from a deep sleep again, even if it's not much, at least it will be useful."

As soon as Fujimaru Tachika heard him finish speaking, she felt really lucky: it wasn't because of another helper or companion, it was all because the previous worries could finally disappear.

If Caster still stubbornly wants to leave alone, with his terrible state, he might die and return to the Throne of Heroes before he finds someone... Speaking of which, who exactly is Caster going to find?

However, before Tatsuka Fujimaru happily agreed, Ellie said again: "There is still one key point, and I want to make a final confirmation."

"What is it?"

"...Before I fell into a coma, I vaguely heard you mention the desert... and the temple of the Egyptian king in the desert. In other words, you have already seen the Egyptian king?"

Matthew replied: "Yes, before we met Mr. Caster, we were lucky enough to meet the great Pharaoh, Ozymandias."

"The Holy Grail is in his hands, but it seems that the culprit who caused the collapse of this era is not him, but the mysterious Lion King. It's just that the Sun Knight Gawain who has been blessed by the Lion King is so powerful. If he wants to restore humanity, he must face the Holy Spirit The city... is very difficult, and some people don't know what to do."

"Yes, even if I have personally experienced the power of the Lion King, it's hard to imagine her limit..." Airlie was silent for a moment before continuing.

"—you must stop the Lion King."

This is, even if he has not unfolded his Noble Phantasm to spy on the past and future, he is extremely sure of the fact at this moment.

"The Lion King summoned the Knights of the Round Table to build the holy city of Camelot, which seems to be a preparation for the realization of a terrible plan. I don't know the details, and you need to dig down by yourself. But, there is one more thing, I Pretty sure too."

"If you want to stop the Lion King... that king, the power of Ozymandias is indispensable, you can get his help... Sorry, I rarely say so much at once, the speed is really a bit slow too slow."

Fujimaru Tachika was a little stunned for a moment, and the astonishment came from the absolute confidence shown by Yingling's words.

Or... is it absolute trust?

I believe they will reach that step, I believe that the proud Ozymandias will help them, and I believe that they will be able to stop the Lion King.

"This process has gone too far, and I still don't have a clue." Fujimaru Tachika scratched her head, but she was really infected by this unwavering confidence.

"By the way, I also have a question. Caster, you just said 'waking up from a deep sleep', what does 'again' mean?"

From his and Mash's perspective, the heroic spirit whose figure was completely isolated by the armor seemed to shake slightly.

"That's exactly what I was going to say."

"I can't cancel the contract with the Lion King. I can only use a special method to unilaterally and temporarily cut off the connection and magic connection with her. In fact, it has been cut off now, so I use the remaining magic power to finish these words with you After that, I had to change to another form and fell into a deep sleep."

"What?! Then will you—"

"Mr. Caster..."

"It's fine, don't worry, I'll be fine. With this current body, as long as it can maintain its existence, it's fine."

Saying this, not only did he fail to reassure the listeners, but instead brought up the worries that had just been put down for a long time.

The figure shrouded in darkness has already begun to emit light that is about to collapse.

At this moment, Airlie made his last request.

"When you see the King of Egypt again, please, be sure, wake me up."

Even at that time, because of the rare peace and comfort he obtained in deep sleep, he was subconsciously unwilling to leave the abyss of comfort and return to the ground to bear the endless pain that penetrated the bone marrow again.

"..."

"...Okay, I promise you. When the time comes, no matter if you have to stay in bed or what, I will definitely wake you up."

"That's good, thank you."

Fujimaru Tachika stared at the armor that was still standing upright, a few traces of struggle flashed in his eyes.

No, there was one more thing that was missed, he still didn't know Caster's name, and he didn't know what kind of person he was.

"Wait, Caster, your—"

Surprisingly, this question was not answered as expected.

The sky is already bright.

The first thin ray of light was like the bright light of the rising sun in the dark. During the process of their conversation, the light scattered, driving away the night that had been shrouded all night, and fled to the back of the mountain in a hurry, leaving a bright and clear sky.

The brilliant light entered the entrance of the village, sprinkled in the middle of the road where there was no one there, and left a half shadow at the bottom of the nearest eaves. Finally, the beam of light that came obliquely inadvertently fell right in front of Airlie.

Heroic Spirit took a few steps outside and stood in the middle of a more spacious empty field.

He seemed to be waiting for something—ah, it didn't take long for the waiting person to arrive.

The projection from Commander Chaldea appeared in front of Tatsuka Fujimaru and Mash, and it happened to be able to catch Airlie's sight at a glance.

If there is no barrier of that layer of metal, the soft and brilliant light falls on the face of the heroic spirit, as if the gentle color of the sun emerges.In addition, there is the twinkling starlight in his eyes, which is the most beautiful morning light that no one present has ever seen before.

The "see you tomorrow" that you said at night, you can't break your promise.

"Good morning, Dr. Roman."

"Ah...Caster, good morning."

The short farewell begins after these two sentences, which are also necessary for dialogue, are over.

The armor that was able to stand upright before seemed to have suddenly lost its inner support, and suddenly fell apart like a collapse, becoming a pile of scrap iron that could no longer stand up.

Fujimaru Tachika, who was in a complicated mood, heard a very low sigh that seemed to come from the doctor's mouth.

"Caster's servant reaction has completely disappeared, but there is no doubt that he himself is still here... Tachika, take off his helmet and look inside."

Fujimaru Tachika acted according to her words.

The helmet was removed, and was temporarily held in both hands.Their eyes also naturally passed through the exposed hole, and fell into the depths of the armor...

Then, more naturally, there was silence.

The most conspicuous thing, of course, is the dried black blood that covered the inner wall of the armor, and it didn't even know how many layers it covered.It is conceivable that such a chilling effect can only be produced by splashing bright red and bright red paint on top without money.

Fortunately... fortunately.

Looking deeper, with the help of the light from the top of the head, I finally saw the blue ball rolling down to the deepest part.

It was a little blue bird, and the fluffy hair was inevitably stained with some blood that hadn't dried yet.

Its eyes are closed, its wings are drooping, and the two little claws hidden in the fluff under its belly are sickly curled up, but it still has a breath of life.

It was like falling asleep steadily with the peace of mind after a smooth farewell.

*****

"Oh, why do you always make yourself into such a pitiful look?"

The ethereal voice of the magician came from a place not far from him.

Airlie's eyelids trembled a few times, as if it took an incomparably long time before he slowly opened his eyes.

Straight into the eye is a clear, cloudless sky.

Under the sky is him lying in the middle of the boundless sea of ​​flowers.

"I also want to know why..." Ellie replied in a low voice, her head hurt a little, and the area in her chest was also extremely stuffy, as if a boulder that was hard to move was pressed down.

Because in this place——in the "dream" that allowed him to temporarily put down everything he was carrying and take a good rest, he could relax, take a little slack for a while, and then keep lying still.

"In that case, would you like to hear my opinion?"

"Of course. Please give me the most realistic and practical advice, Teacher Merlin."

"Ahh~ I don't know if it's practical or not. In short, it's just the most sincere opinion."

This is Ellie's dreamland, but it doesn't belong to him completely.

His footsteps have never stepped into the legendary Avalon, but the sea of ​​flowers blooming in that distant ideal land has quietly blended into his dream.As for the reason, it must have something to do with Mr. Mei Lin who ran into his dream openly.

In the dream, Ellie returned to the way he was before he was severely wounded by the Lion King's holy spear.

The little flowers under his body were lowered by him, but there were still a few tough flowers that got out from the edge of the silver armor, excitedly showing their beauty under the sun.

In addition, there was a more cunning one, a trembling little figure barely protruding from the loose blue hair, this little red flower stuck its petals to his side face, It's like a bright embellishment in the blue.

"The superficial reason is because you are really unlucky, as if your luck has been taken away by other people. Then, let's talk about the deeper reason."

While talking, Merlin also sat down beside Ellie.

"Because of you... Both the body and the inner soul are too clean."

"Even now, you still have too little understanding of the complex and distorted emotions that humans have."

"What kind of results will this cause? Almost everyone who comes to you will be affected. You never mentioned it, but in the deepest part of your heart, there will still be that thought that you can't let go of."

At some point, the magician's hand reached in front of him.

Ellie's slightly widened eyes, which were like glass, reflected the fingertips of the man who was gradually approaching.

"The specific content is different, but the common point is that they all want to 'get' from you. Trust, recognition, friendship—are you already a little confused at this level? Haha, there is more to friendship than friendship. As for the high thirst, you really can't understand it, Al."

Yes, in the final analysis, the problem is here.

To give some examples:

King Arthur, who spent a happy girlhood with Ellie, will eventually part ways with him, because she wants to get "trust" and "identification" among her companions from him .

Those Masters that Airlie met in the past, the wretches who were seduced into madness by the appearance of the heroic spirits, their desires were much more superficial.Simply getting him, or being very self-aware and putting yourself in a humble situation, just hoping to get a little mercy from the heroic spirit.

Of course, there are some people who are in completely different situations.

Or the arrogant and arrogant king, or the vengeful ghost who had a pure heart but fell into the abyss of despair by accident, or the sad man who tried his best to force himself in every aspect, or what to add... , Anyway, these people.

These people who will become the most shining lights in any era, since they are "human beings", will not miss the inferiority that constitutes the essence of human beings.

Just getting him—this body, is not enough, far from enough.

Later, because even the most basic response could not be obtained, the desire was further expanded, and it was impossible to compromise no matter what.

It was like a dense net that was quietly woven without him noticing, entwining his figure tightly.

"........."

As expected, even if the words were spread out, this overly pure soul still couldn't understand.

Because of Merlin's words, Ellie fell into deep thought.

After thinking hard for a long time, he felt that he finally understood what Merlin meant, so he asked tentatively, "It means that it's my fault... I shouldn't have too close contact with others, is that it?"

If the time of this conversation is not now, but any time point before their last reunion, Merlin will smile and say: It's not your fault, Al, but it's good that you stay the same.

But the time for the conversation is indeed now, so the white-haired magician stroked the soft petals on the heroic spirit's face, and still raised the corners of his lips.

"No, no, it's wrong."

"The current Al is no longer the same as the previous Al. Although it is not very obvious, it will gradually get better. Speaking of which, Gao Wenqing should have noticed your change. That is really pitiful—— Oh no, did I just mention who?"

"You mentioned Gao..."

"Let's not talk about anything that doesn't matter. The point is, Al, I'm really surprised."

Airlie was a little uncomfortable with the little movement of him tossing the fragile petals along with rubbing them against his own cheek, because it was itchy.

"why?"

"Well, because you..."

——But the me at that time, I tried my best and couldn't get the "color" smoothly.

Haha, I won't say more about such a long time ago.

Merlin lay down leisurely under Ellie's slightly puzzled eyes, then pulled Ellie over and hugged him like a pillow.

"Who told you to keep the status quo and not change? Ah, that guy is too unreliable! Don't listen to him anymore, Al."

The smile on his face was as warm as a spring breeze, and he almost said "don't listen to Solomon's nonsense" directly.

Airlie: "...OK."

"Thank you, Merlin. Did you see the day when you taught me the magic of breaking the contract?"

Merlin: "Hmm~mm~ It's good if it comes in handy. Then, get a good night's sleep before going to face the storm outside."

"I was in a dream, I couldn't fall asleep."

Even so, Airlie closed his eyes again.

"If someone calls me, then..."

The softer and softer voice could not be conveyed completely, and it disappeared around the slightly parted lips.

The magus lowered his eyes and examined the sleeping face of the heroic spirit that seemed to be dyed colorful against the backdrop of the beautiful flowers.

He is not like a beautiful flower that grows in the world, does not exist in an isolated ideal land, and cannot be picked and possessed by anyone.

All I can do now is to place a light kiss symbolizing encouragement on the corner of the lips that has finally relaxed through the flower that was caressed just now.

"It's tiring, but please persevere."

"When it's time to wake up... Before them, I will be the first to wake you up."

……

……

Fujimaru Tachika told his companions that it is not an exaggeration to describe their journey this time as "going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers".

Before walking to the gate of the temple of the pharaoh who moved the land of Egypt here, too many things really happened, and it was ups and downs.

but--

The "prophecy" that Caster made before he fell asleep really came true.

They ended up here anyway, trying to draw Ozymandias into an alliance.

The contact with Chaldea was forced to be interrupted when entering the desert.Fujimaru Tachika still remembered that when the doctor looked at the huge desert surrounded by wind and sand in the distance, his expression was inexplicably depressed.

"...There is nothing else. In short, be careful when you go in. And that thing..." There was a strange pause in the middle, "Lixiang, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

At that time, Fujimaru Tachika said: "I definitely haven't forgotten it. After seeing Ozymandias, I woke up Caster who was sleeping in my backpack."

"...Yes, that's it."

"..."

"doctor?"

"Uh! It's nothing, you go, I'm waiting for your good news."

The above is the conversation with Dr. Roman before entering the desert.

At this time, the group of them had forcefully broken into the temple and arrived at the door of the hall where the throne was once before.

Even, even the figure of the king sitting on the throne looking down on them can be clearly seen.

"What should I do, senior! Do you want to wake up Mr. Caster now? But if there is a fight in a while, it is very likely that it will affect him."

"I'm also thinking about it, Mash! If you wake him up as soon as we meet, what if he and the king opposite him are enemies, and Ozymandias will kill him all of a sudden!"

"Hey—is the little blue bird finally going to wake up? Let it stay in such a stuffy backpack for so long, woo, it's too pitiful."

Before the pharaoh's majestic voice could be heard, these disrespectful people who trespassed on the temple started to make a noise within themselves.

Pharaoh's brows twitched, and before the noise of this group of people overturned his temple, he finally couldn't help it, and interrupted: "In your eyes, is such a supreme Yu the same as non-existence?"

Fujimaru Tachika: "...That's not true, we respect you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Ozymandias, our intention to come has been conveyed to you in written form before, and whether to accept it will be discussed later. Now, please let us confirm one important thing first."

Seeing that Pharaoh was about to get angry, he quickly sorted out the key clues that were actually pitifully few.

"Excuse me, do you know someone called Caster—no, his real name is obviously not Caster. Well, a class is clearly Caster..."

"The weapon is Saber's sword..."

Hearing this, the anger that appeared on Pharaoh's face stagnated.

"I haven't seen the appearance, so I can't describe it, but I can confirm that the hair is blue..."

--boom.

Pharaoh stood up suddenly.

The golden armor on the wrist slammed into the hard armrest on the side of the throne, and the ear-piercing sound made Nitocris standing beside the throne startled, and looked at the Pharaoh with surprise in his eyes.

However, he obviously had no intention of explaining this strange behavior.

The pharaoh who appeared in front of the human masters in just an instant, the most common arrogance and ease with them all disappeared from that handsome face.

However, Fujimaru Tachika, who was stared directly at by the pharaoh with extremely cold and shining golden eyes, said the last sentence with difficulty just now:

"Professing that he doesn't like to talk very much, but he has no problem at all with a long story... such a heroic spirit?"
