In addition to the true identity that is unknown until now, Fujimaru Tatsuka actually doesn't know much about the heroic spirit's experience before meeting them.

He can only combine the pictures he saw with his own eyes, the sound he heard with his two ears, and the possibility of conjectures, and summarize them into the most objective facts, and relay them to those who want to know the ins and outs listen.

All the known circumstances were finished, and the person who wanted to know everything—the pharaoh— fell into a rather long silence unexpectedly.

If you misunderstood Caster's unspeakable enmity with this pharaoh because of the long silence and the extremely stern expression, it would be a big mistake.

If it is hatred, there will never be such a soft color in the eyes that treat everyone equally and indifferently, and it will never change when Fujimaru Tateka talks about the injury of the heroic spirit, and the tenderness will suddenly turn into as if he was deeply offended Like a rage, like a fire that cannot be extinguished.

however.

Hearing that the last Pharaoh finally spoke, what he said was——

"... Well done, Master Fujimaru Tachika, accept this award with excitement and honor. Besides, I even owe you a favor. No need to refuse, This is the reward Yu must give you."

"The alliance's request, Yu agreed, and the battle to test whether you have Yu Zhi's help can be avoided. Since the princess has such deep confidence in you, Yu naturally believes in him, and entrusts this trust to you for the time being. .”

Before I came here, I thought that one fight, two fights, or even more difficult problems could not be solved, but I solved them lightly with a few words. Ozymandias is so convincing...

No, the fundamental reason why Ozymandias became persuasive was not that the Pharaoh suddenly liked them, nor was it that the eloquence of Tatsuka Fujimaru and Da Vinci together became better.

——Wait...the princess...the princess? ? ! ! !

"Did I just hear some incredible term?!"

"What a fuss!"

Nitocris, who followed behind the pharaoh and was summoned by him as a helper, immediately rebuked.

The female pharaoh, who had a strong admiration for Ramses II, obviously knew a little bit of inside information, only a little bit, and more of it was a little speculation that sprouted during the time she spent with the pharaoh.

She was afraid that King Ozymandias would be unhappy because of this, and her tone was extraordinarily serious:

"The great pharaoh finally welcomed back the same honorable princess. This is a happy event worthy of national celebration! As the guardians, you are deserved to be rewarded. Wait, what kind of strange expression is this? Could it be— —Did you guys do anything disrespectful on the way to escort the princess!"

As a result, no one responded to her questioning.

The ignorant members of the guard squad yelled loudly, "Did I get it wrong? Caster is the princess of Ozymandias, isn't he a man? I haven't heard of such a history at all." Suddenly fell into a great shock.

"That's why you mortals are making a fuss—huh? Ask me if I knew beforehand? This...who allows you to be so bold!"

Accompanied by screaming and changing the subject stiffly, the noise enough to lift the roof of the temple continued for a while, and then came to an abrupt end when the key person spoke again.

"...how could Yu not know your thoughts."

--what?

At first, Fujimaru Tatsuka thought that this sentence was addressed to him.But after raising his eyes and seeing Pharaoh's expression at this time, he suddenly came back to his senses.

The blue bird in the form of Caster lay in the palm of the Pharaoh, and he treated it with the same care and love as an untouchable fragile object.

Stretch out a finger, as if wanting to lightly touch the bird's wings, or even want to touch a higher place - but the finger is only lowered for a moment, and then it is restrained by reason, and it is forcibly touched. Curled back.

"Yu has never doubted, and he has been convinced from the beginning to the end that when the time of reunion comes, you will return to Yu's side by yourself."

"However, what Yu didn't expect was..."

Obviously the hall was extremely bright, but the pharaoh's expression still seemed to be shrouded in an indelible, extremely obscure shadow.

"Well, Fujimaru Tachika."

"exist?"

"The princess' last entrustment to you is to wake Yu up when you see him, right?"

"Yes, I should have woken him up before I spoke to you, though it was a bit late, but now—"

"Do not."

"It's not too late to wake him up... eh? What did you say?"

"Yu Zai is telling you, there is no need, there is no need to let him wake up. If the price you need to pay for those eyes to reflect Yu's figure again is to make Yu's true love suffer painful torture, even if it is only for a moment——Yu, you can't let him wake up." unbearable!"

How can it be tolerated.

How can bear.

Therefore, repressing the emotions that have been endured for such a long time and finally revealed some clues, the "meeting" that is not in the true sense is not tired of it.

This is probably the decision that only this pharaoh can make without hesitation.

"..."

"But... Although it's not suitable for me, the Caster I saw, in such a difficult situation, was determined to find you without any hesitation. Maybe... there is a very important I want to tell you something, and I want to ask you a very important question..."

……

……

"That's right. Yu was still judged by the excessive ups and downs of emotions, so he stupidly ignored this point."

And again, this was another unexpected surprise.

In addition to voluntarily coming to Yu's side, do you also have such an urgent wish to get Yu's response?

Even though Yu was thousands of miles away and knew nothing about your arrival and the pain you suffered, the thoughts in his heart still remained unshakable——

……Ha ha.

But Yu was not happy.

On the contrary, it hurts extremely.

"Since this is the case... there is no need to borrow someone else's hand."

"Retire, those who will restore this era without hesitation, the rest of the army will appear when you expect it. And at this moment, in this place where there are only two people left."

"Yu will wake him up personally."

*****

...the time to leave has come.

wake up... wake up...let me...for you...

For this temporary parting...a final farewell...

The familiar voice-farewell whisper of the lullaby, although still soft and distant, became the sound of revelation that made him break free from the peace he had so hard to get.

Before Airlie frowned and tried to lift his eyelids, he was grabbed by the wrist and pulled up.

"Okay, ok, there's a super annoying guy out there urging me, it's almost bringing the sky down."

The white-haired magician spoke slowly, not at all as if he was being rushed by the "outsiders".After he pulled Ellie up, he patted Shang's body, which was still a little dazed.

"..."

Ellie also took this opportunity to get rid of all the chaos remaining in his mind.

Slowly opened, the eyes exposed under the bright sky were the same color as the blue sky, but farther away than the blue sky, like a vast galaxy hidden deep in the pupils.

Although it feels a little strange——shouldn't the person who came to wake him up be Fujimaru Tachika who stayed in reality and received his commission?

Well, it should be just by the way, after all, Merlin just came to his dream at this time.

Now that he didn't hear the voice of the "outsider" that Merlin said, he directly acquiesced that that person was Fujimaru Tachika, thinking, after "going out", he would be able to meet Ozymandias .

Faintly, the strange feeling of being touched in the soul came again.

He was probably—a little excited.

Because it was the first time, because of a doubt that could not disappear from my heart for the first time, I was looking forward to the reunion that I don't know when.

It seemed like he hadn't figured out what else to say besides asking that question after we actually met... However, for other things, it shouldn't be necessary to rack your brains to brew words.

At that time, it will naturally come out of the mouth.

"Then, I'll go."

He once again strengthened his faith, his eyes seemed to be shining brighter than before, and even his entire slender and thin figure became dazzling.

"Is the previous magic trick also yours? It's amazing that you can still sleep well in the dream... See you next time, Teacher Merlin."

The magician standing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers could not help but smile as he watched the heroic spirit walking towards the distance that he couldn't tell the direction.

"It's only been a while, and I don't feel satisfied at all. Oops, okey... Could it be that even I was infected?"

"Okay, I'll see you next time. I also prepared a gift for Quietly, so I can help you repair your armor—well, not bad?"

Of course, Ellie didn't know what the gift was at this time.

He walked straight forward, as if he was going to reach the end of the sea of ​​flowers.The voice that became clearer and clearer as it went forward became a guidepost, and it didn't seem like a long time passed, and a white light symbolizing the way out was seen ahead——

……

Immediately, Ellie in reality also woke up.

At first, I felt that the light was a bit dazzling, so that the eyes that were originally opened a crack could not help but close them again.

He wanted to be active and sleepy for so long, logically speaking, his body should be stiff like a stone statue. At the same time, he didn't forget that he turned into a bird after shielding the contract, and he was about to wave his stiff wings...

No...can't wave it?

wrong.

It should be said that what he raised wasn't a bird's unique wing at all, but - no doubt, a human arm.

Airlie realized now that he was able to regain his physical body again.

But that trace of surprise only paused in my heart for a moment, and was overshadowed by another amazing discovery that followed.

Airlie: "..."

Airlie: "...ah, Ozymandias?"

Have absolutely no idea what's going on.

He just woke up and was about to thank Fujimaru Tatsuka for his honesty, and he sat on another man who was not Fujimaru Tatsuka in a daze.

This innocent man, who was probably thrown to the ground by him with a slam, and whose stomach he used as a cushion, was the great pharaoh he was looking for, Ozymandias.

At that moment just now, there seemed to be a muffled sound as if the back of the head hit the floor tiles heavily.

Airlie: "..."

Ozymandias: "..."

Still don't know why.

When Airlie lowered his head dully and met the eyes of the man under him, what he blurted out was not a question that had been brewing for a long time, let alone a greeting that he thought he could say naturally, but:

"Did your head... fall off?"

Could it be that I suddenly appeared and threw you down so that your——

"Yeah! You don't need Yu to open your mouth to consciously fall into Yu's arms, Al, Yu really feels your enthusiasm."

The extremely shocking speech was interrupted by a Pharaoh-style (actually forced) change of topic.

During this period, the hint of "you didn't see anything just now" clearly appeared in the bright golden eyes.

However, it is a pity that no explicit hint will lose its due effect here.

He was very, very concerned about the discovery that seemed to disappear just now.

"No, I did see it just now..."

Talking to himself in such a puzzled way, Ellie unknowingly leaned down, lowering his gaze, and at the same time shifting his body's center of gravity naturally.

When the bewildered ending gradually disappeared from his mouth as it lengthened, he bent down, as if his whole body was lying on the man below.

The field of vision was enlarged and became clear, and the heroic spirit whose face was close to the man's neck could not help frowning a little, and finally observed carefully.

"Sure enough, I was injured." And it didn't look like a minor injury.

Although the wound on the neck has faded a lot now, it should be able to heal completely in the near future. It was all because of the heavy bump just now that I accidentally let my head slip...

However, based on this, I can better realize how this injury came about in the first place-suddenly being cut off by a sharp weapon with a cold light, even a heroic spirit, it is estimated that the back will feel cold at that moment. .

Ellie was still puzzled.

Taking this more convenient position, he gently sniffed the man's wound that was about to heal.

"It's strange, there is no smell of blood..." He paused, and then asked: "Who did it, and who can come to this temple and use this method to hurt you?"

When the face engraved in the heart of the heroic spirit at that moment approached visibly with the naked eye and smelled it around his neck, the muscles on the Pharaoh's body stiffened for a moment.

Obviously, in his opinion, taking the initiative to mention such an embarrassing experience to the princess will still damage the pharaoh's majesty——

"Not long ago, Yu Zheng was resting on the throne, and suddenly felt a chill coming from behind..."

In the end, I still mentioned it, although the tone was a bit reluctant, and the expression on the pharaoh's wise and mighty face was also vaguely cast a little shadow.

Ozymandias succinctly summed up what happened in the past in just a sentence or two, like it really was an accident that only needs to be lightly talked about.

Fortunately, he was in his own temple when he was assassinated, and he would not die here. The disadvantage is that he cannot leave the temple until the wound is healed, and the head that will slip off if he is not careful is very annoying.

"Does it still hurt?" Ellie asked.

After staring at it for so long, at the very beginning, he had the slight idea of ​​reaching out to touch the wound on the man's neck.

But then the thought that Ozymandias must be in pain, perhaps deeper than the pain he felt from the wound that remained on his chest, couldn't be realized.

But Ozymandias said in a voice that seemed to be deeper than normal: "It's just a little troublesome, and the rest of the rest can't care at all... Huh, I thought so at first, but I didn't expect it. Let you who shouldn't have seen this scene see Yu's ugly appearance."

Ellie was slightly taken aback.

Then I remembered that if it was Ozymandias, he was plotted against and cut off... This kind of thing, I definitely don't want people to know, and I don't want people to ask about the cause and effect.

After all, he is a proud king.

Ellie felt guilty belatedly, and he must have made Ozymandias embarrassed or upset by asking such a direct question.

What should I say, and what method should I use to remedy it?

He thought about it very hard, and suddenly he had an idea. He definitely couldn't think of a more useful "solution" than this in a short time.

"It's ok."

"Don't be sad, Ozymandias." There was a touch of blood on the pale face of the heroic spirit lying on the pharaoh, as if infected by the comfort in his heart.

Putting on the silver armor repaired by Merlin again, he suddenly took one of the pharaoh's hands and stuffed it into the gap where the two bodies were close together, just enough for the pharaoh's palm to touch and slightly transmit the warmth. breastplate.

"I also have wounds here."

His eyes are encouraging, serious, without any perfunctory, he really wants to make Pharaoh feel "comfortable": "It seems that because I said something wrong, I was punished mercilessly by the master. Now I want to Thinking... well, it’s really embarrassing, much more embarrassing than yours.”

So, don't feel embarrassed.

Airlie's original intention was not wrong at all, but after hearing these words, Ozymandias' gaze from below was actually mixed with indescribable complexity.

It turned out that there was still a slight chuckle at the corner of the man's mouth, which came from the satisfaction of seeing the figure of his beloved again in his eyes.At this time, the smile disappeared without a trace.

"Is this your comfort to Yu?"

"Yes... As a result, you still don't seem to be happy..."

"No! Yu is very happy. Nitocris is right. Today should be a day of national celebration, so that all of Yu's people will rejoice for Pharaoh's joy."

"Yu will be delighted by your return, delighted by your enthusiasm, and even more delighted by your comfort, there is no doubt about it."

This is what Ozymandias said slowly, and he suppressed the rest of his heart.

——Compared with the "joy" that should be taken for granted, what Yu should feel more deeply is pity for you.

Ozymandias sat up straight at this moment.

Of course, he took into account Ellie who was lying on his body before, and he also took into account that the wounds on Yingling's chest would always be backlogged because of this posture, and the pain was inevitable.Both hands—those broad and solid palms were placed under Heroic Spirit's thighs, and as a support point, he hugged Heroic Spirit firmly.

"Okay, don't show your frightened expression. At this time, you should hug Yu tightly."

"..."

Before Airlie woke up, Ozymandias had been holding the bird in his hand and walking towards the throne at the end of the high stone staircase. At this time, he just continued to complete the unfinished business.

The steps moved forward involuntarily, and the figure couldn't help shaking slightly at the beginning, so Ellie could only gently wrap his arms around the man's shoulders.

The stone staircase leading to the throne is so long, they have broken down the distance that they only need to cross with the power of the heroic spirits into countless steps.

The young man who was being carried arched his waist slightly, and put his forehead lightly on the man's shoulder. However, the beautiful blue hair that rippled slightly as he walked forward was no longer as long and graceful as before. The fine silk and satin seemed to have been chopped off by someone else.

The pace of the man who picked up the young man was unbiased, but he seemed a little slower.

In the end, the pharaoh sat on his throne.

Ellie sat on his lap, at first, he wanted to distance them, but the pharaoh showed an uncompromising gesture.

Ozymandias never doubted that as long as he waited without any distractions, the reunion with Airlie would become "inevitable".He has never been impatient, and it was an accident that he came to this era of collapse, and he faced even more threats. For a while, he was negligent.

Being in the same land, even if it is in an enemy city that he really can't care about...

Unforgivable.

It is even more impossible to ignore this huge mistake lightly.

So let's declare—

Avoiding the deduced location of the serious injury to the slender body in his arms, he caressed on his back, his lips brushed against his earlobe, and when he whispered something that seemed to be whispering, he lowered his eyes slightly , to cover up the eye-catching and slightly shadowy brilliance shining in the eyes.

"Under the sky illuminated by Yu Yu's brilliance, let Yu's concubine suffer even the slightest harm - such a hateful, hateful thing, Yu will not allow it to happen again!"

It needs to be mentioned by the way that Ellie wanted to raise his head from the pharaoh's chest several times, and asked the doubts that had troubled him for a long time, that is, to find the fundamental purpose of coming here, but the action was forced to fail.

Ozymandias stroked his broken blue hair, pondered for a while, and pushed his head back up a little bit.

Moreover, he said without giving any chance to refuse: "Yu is tired. Al, sleep with Yu for a while."

"I just woke up...well."

Thinking that Ozymandias was also a seriously injured person, Airlie hesitated for a moment, but swallowed the following words back to his stomach.

"Just for a while." Of course, he would add, "After you wake up, please answer my question first."

"Well, well, I know."

that's it……

When they met again under the same blue sky, they were also seriously injured, exhausted, and without much energy. They slept together in the pharaoh's throne, and the heads of the two people who were close to each other were also leaning on each other.

So serene, so warm—like the company of mortals who dedicate their only lives to each other.

Or maybe, for thousands of years, you can only get this chance that will be cherished forever.
