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

that time……

The heart that had been eroded by the black mud and lost all luster and hope was revived because of this man's words—and a soul as hot and dazzling as the scorching sun.

——Where you have spare time, you can do whatever you want.

—Therefore, there is no need to despair.

——That's why, don't be confused.

Even if I think about it now, I will still be filled with the shock I felt at that time.

Even when he was on the verge of death, the man standing upright in front of him, and the glittering light spots around the man's disintegrated body, all became images that were deeply imprinted in the depths of his memory and could not be erased.

Nobody had ever said anything like that to him before, to do whatever he wanted... or whatever.

It was as if he had suddenly obtained a ray of precarious light. Although the light was small, it was enough to dispel the darkness directly above, allowing him to look up at the original color of the sky when he was stunned.

It’s like someone opened a door from the outside, and the place that the door leads to is still unknown, but he has never seen this scene, never thought that there is another way that is completely different from cognition, because Ignorance, because of dullness, made me even more curious about the world outside the door.

At last he dared not take a step forward until he had a clear and clear revelation.

So, wandering in front of this lonely door, my heart was gradually filled with inexplicable anxiety and curiosity for unknown reasons, and the desire to explore gradually deepened with the passage of time was probably the culprit.

It would be great if the man who said these words could meet again.

If you can see him again, you must ask him if you haven't figured it out yet, but you just vaguely grasped some doubts, and then you can definitely...

"I'm so impatient, Al. I interrupted Yu's tenderness after taking a nap, and threw such a direct question over again—forget it, Yu also enjoyed the enthusiasm driven by this eagerness. I just forgive you."

have met.

Then, the man standing outside the door smiled so indulgently and held out his hand to him—

Just one step.

Successfully, he was pulled into the strange world outside the door.

However, although everything was unfamiliar, after taking that crucial step, he seemed to feel that the coldness covering his body disappeared in an instant, and the firm sunlight that was enough to represent hope was projected down.

"What do you want to know? The reason? Well... so you are troubled by such meaningless doubts."

"Isn't it reasonable for Yu to say those words?"

"Since Yu is a pharaoh, the king of kings who controls this land, his words are absolutely true. Don't you want to experience the endless joy that blooms in this world? Don't you want to see all the pleasing scenery, do everything that is interesting and can Something that satisfies you?"

In Ozymandias' casual tone, there must be a real strong self-confidence and arrogance that does not need to give in at all.

He clasped the waist of the heroic spirit sitting between his legs like caressing, and the pharaoh's eyes finally softened again, and the indulgent smile was projected in the pupils again, but the voice seemed to be persuasive: "Therefore, what I enjoy It’s what I’ve been doing—enjoy it to your heart’s content, follow your own nature and act recklessly, of course I want you to feel the same way.”

He knew Ellie to such an extent.

The golden mountain of treasures cannot attract the attention of the heroic spirit. Human beings have more or less desires in countless aspects, and this extremely beautiful heroic spirit seems to have none.So, what else can make him look up unconsciously and make him have to stay?

——It’s just “this”.

"Reckless... This word is too unfamiliar to me. In other words, it is too difficult to achieve."

He kept the same posture when sleeping and when he woke up, Ellie was still leaning on King Ozymandias' shoulder, his eyes stayed on the man's brown hair, there was a faint blankness, and he was still muttering.

"That's natural, because reckless behavior is actually the exclusive privilege of the king." Ozymandias said. "It's just that even if you are the incarnation of the sun and the supreme king, you still have a measurement in your heart."

"Do whatever you want within the scope of your own rule, no one can say anything, and while enjoying wealth and power, you must not forget to bestow favors on your subjects... To put it bluntly, this is the so-called 'principle' .”

Ellie, who seems to have no desires, entrusts his life to others, has you found your own "desire"?

"Don't force yourself to think too much. Now you have not reached such a perfect state. Follow your heart and do what you want to accomplish most urgently in your heart. Don't worry about the stupid and wrong things you once insisted on." Principle', go find the right one. Of course it’s good if you succeed, and you won’t regret it even if you fail—that’s all.”

"........."

For Airlie, the shocking effect of what Ozymandias said to him at this time was not as shocking as that day, but it was not ordinary.

He got unprecedented strength and unprecedented courage from Pharaoh.

The world outside the "door" became brighter, so that he couldn't help hugging the man who enlightened him under the influence of the fiery heat that was gradually swaying, and then hugged him tightly.

"understood."

"It means that what I held on to in the past, the complete loyalty to the master, is it really wrong? But... the choice of responding to the call of the masters should still be correct."

It is precisely because of answering the call that he encountered so many things worth remembering. Among the masters, there are many like Ozymandias, Dantes, Matou Sakura... and those he will never forget— — Beings like Enkidu.

Therefore, what was wrong was only the concept that he hadn't been able to change before.

Thinking about it this way, the fragmentary clues collected in the past but failed to attract attention were all connected together.

Betrayal of the Lion King who became indifferent for some reason—this choice was made after enduring unparalleled pain and struggle, and he could finally be convinced that it was the right path, and it was the path he should have chosen.

Airlie's already warm heart suddenly became extra joyful.

From this point of performance, it can be seen that he is never greedy, and he has always been, and he can be satisfied very easily.

After pausing for a moment, Ozymandias raised Ellie's jaw with his right index finger, allowing the Heroic Spirit who was still dawdling on his shoulder to slowly reveal his face.

"That's the end of the tedious explanation. Raise your head and let Yu see your expression. ... Oh? It seems that you have gained a lot."

In the end, he asked as if he had already made up his mind: "It seems that I don't need to mention anything more. Have you thought about it, Al, what do you want to do most now?"

"Well, I've thought about it. Although it's just a matter of thoroughly confirming the options I hesitated before."

Airlie hummed, and the joy in his heart could be heard from the short rising notes.In those eyes that are brighter than the most beautiful sapphire in the world, there is the look that Ozymandias likes to see most.

However, it was clear that his wish had come true, but the Pharaoh's eyes suddenly dimmed a little.

"So, when are you going to leave? When are you going to leave Yu?" He asked bluntly, and tightened his hands that bound Ying Ling's waist.

"what?"

Airlie was taken aback for a moment, because Ozymandias said his heart so unexpectedly.

Originally, this was the thought that came to mind the moment he thought about his "current original mind", but for some reason, he, who was more accustomed to being straightforward than the Pharaoh, fell into hesitation at the first moment, and couldn't bear it. With the same eagerness when he came to find a man, he said his farewell words.

As long as he saw this particularly obvious change in his expression, Pharaoh knew what he was thinking. After all, his understanding of him was getting deeper and deeper.

"In Yu's view, your 'principle' should be obvious."

After his doubts were answered, the contract with the Lion King still exists.Already on the enemy side, he still wants to go to Camelot, even if it is to find out why King Arthur became the Lion King, he will go.

Not to mention, in that distant land that Ozymandias, the pharaoh who could not leave the whole of Egypt to accompany him, could not touch, there is this ruthless heroic spirit who has gradually developed a few strands of affection for the time being. There is no broken bond.

Just thinking about it makes me feel very uncomfortable.

On the other hand, after thinking about it again, the efforts made were finally rewarded, and the pharaoh's mood improved a little bit.

"Then go! Yu is not a narrow-minded and stingy man, can't he even tolerate the wayward behavior of the princess who has finally become lively?"

"But—" Speaking of which, the man's mouth finally showed the wanton smile mentioned before.

"If you think that Yu is an idiot who likes selfless dedication, you are totally wrong."

"!"

Ellie only had time to stare slightly, and the face of Ozymandias in his eyes suddenly enlarged.

The man raised his hand to hold the back of his head, and with a little force, he pushed his head down——

The cold hand between the lips, but after a while, the entangled tongue was infected with the scorching temperature.

It's like a sultry fire, scorching across every place where the body touches.

*****

After crossing the desert, the night has completely turned into day for a long time.

This is the result of the fastest sphinx in Ozymandias's legion, and the result of running wildly under the premise that the storm that swept across the desert disappeared under the pharaoh's instruction.

Airlie started too late.

Fujimaru Tachika and others, who were promised with the help of Ozymandias, left long ago.After they rushed back to the camp where the human army and heroic spirits were gathered, after a night of recharging their energy, they would formally attack Camelot, the holy city where the Lion King was located, the next morning.

As for the pharaoh's temple, because he fell asleep halfway—although it wasn't long, after waking up, he had a discussion about desire, and the "replenishment" requested by the pharaoh's righteous words...

When Ellie finally left the temple, it was already midnight, and it took another midnight to cross the desert, so it was quite normal to see the sky bright.

This sphinx seems to know how noble the heroic spirit sitting on its back is, and it behaves very hardworking, gathering all its strength without resting, and rushing into the distance in one breath.

One thing is strange, when he was about to leave, Ozymandias insisted that he put on a thick cloak and wrap it up with his head, so that he was allowed to leave.

"The wind and sand on the road are too strong, wrap your face with this. Also, even if you hear any strange noises, don't take off your cloak and look around. This is the pharaoh's order."

Still speaking so majestically.

While walking halfway, Airlie did hear strange noises.

It was as if something huge rose into the air and over the top of his head, Ozymandias' magic power became so clear - he grabbed the Sphinx's hair dangling in the wind, It was not thrown off.

Although it was replenished with magic power, the effect of those magic powers was to fill the hole that was still open with flesh and blood. After weighing it, Ellie used most of the magic power for storage.

Hmm... Fortunately, after rushing out of the desert, there was still time.

As he once said, don't worry about the injury or pain, as long as this body exists for now, there are still many things that need magic power to be done later, so there is no need to worry about anything else.

After the Sphinx sent him out of the desert, Airlie estimated the distance between his current location and the holy city, and finally came to the conclusion that he could quickly reach the holy city through teleportation magic.

"In this case... yes, the time can barely catch up."

He has always firmly believed that the efforts of the human master and his party will definitely have the desired effect. The only thing that is uncertain is how far the battle situation in the distance has progressed.

At this time, the sky was bright. If one looked straight ahead, one could see a part of the dark cloud brought by the wind and sand from nowhere. The war had most likely already begun.

Ellie turned over and jumped off the back of the Sphinx, the movement was finally the same as before the injury, but there were still some details of the slight body shaking, which proved that it was still a little bit reluctant.

"Thank you, it's been so hard for you to run with me for so long." After landing, he didn't leave in a hurry, but touched the Sphinx's terrifying and hideous face in the eyes of many people, and his voice was soft.

In front of this heroic spirit, the huge Sphinx was as obedient as a big cat, lowered its head in an exceptionally docile manner, and rubbed his hand flatteringly.

"I can walk the rest of the way by myself, go back to your companion..."

Just saying that, Sphinx suddenly shook his head violently.

Airlie was stunned for a long time before he realized, "Do you want to go on with me? That's it... that's what Ozymandias meant, right?"

The Sphinx nodded again hastily, for fear that it would be too late, and the will of the great pharaoh would not be conveyed to the princess in time.

Airlie felt a little moved, and was very grateful to Ozymandias for being so thoughtful.

Even if he was as slow as he was, he noticed it at the last parting moment, and Ozymandias didn't want to see him leave so soon.

After trying so hard to find it, and after my confusion was explained, I ran eagerly to a distant place where another bond was located. It was really rude...

Because of this, the Pharaoh, who understood him completely and thought of him so much, did receive genuine gratitude from Airlie's heart.

He never considered the possibility that "Ozymandias left the temple and went with Egypt to go with him". This is probably the "principle" issue that the man happened to mention to him.

However, Ozymandias, who cannot go with Airlie...

"Good intentions, but—"

Ellie still said firmly: "Please go back, my teleportation magic can barely take me away at present, and with you, the magic that can be used at most once is very likely to fail."

"Also, I hope you... can bring this to Ozymandias."

His eyes seemed to fall on the gold chain wrapped around his right hand unconsciously. Not long ago, the Pharaoh's eyes also stayed on it for a long time.

In the past, it could not be taken off no matter what - the cumbersome and exquisite golden bracelet that appeared on the hand of the main body in the Hall of Valor, which was like another kind of shackle, was actually taken off by him at this time.

Airlie looped the suddenly elongated gold chain around the Sphinx's neck and tied a knot at the end so that no matter how much he ran, the bracelet would not come off.

"I've been wearing this for a long time, and I like it very much, but recently I discovered that the surface has some wear and tear. Return it to its original owner temporarily, and ask him to repair it for me. After the things here are finished, I will Come back and get... can you?"

Yes, for some reason, although there was only a more inconspicuous crack in an inconspicuous corner, it was broken, and the irremovable bracelet could be easily removed because of this.

Airlie is someone who isn't used to the "strangeness to habit" process.

In the past, he was probably more suitable for a completely unchanging life. Any new things that were different from what he expected were added, which would make him feel a little uncomfortable for a while, until this newness was finally smoothed out by time, and he became A "habit" that can make him acquiesce.

Why did the bracelet break?

do not know.

Just bring back the broken bracelet and let Ozymandias fix it, and let the suddenly changed things return to the way they are used to-is that the purpose?

Not only that.

Airlie himself may not have realized that the reason why he took off the bracelet on a whim and asked the Sphinx to bring it back to the pharaoh has another meaning, which is the point.

I'll come back to pick it up when it's fixed.

Equivalent to my inadvertent promise to you:

I'll come back, come back and see you again.

……

"........."

It was as if the sphinx, with a gold necklace around his neck, still hesitated before Airlie.

If you ignore the ferocious appearance of the sphinx and look at the cloudy eyes that are the same as those of ordinary monsters, you may be able to see that it has the same "sadness" as humans at this moment.

——I couldn’t find it even when I went back... not only its companion but also its master...

——The army formed by the companions has arrived at the gate of the holy city, and the master has disappeared along with the disappearance of the pyramid that broke through the barrier of the holy city...

Ellie touched the sphinx again suspiciously, and quietly withdrew his eyes on the gold chain.

"what's wrong?"

"Go back quickly."

So, under a few urgings, the sphinx rubbed the heroic spirit's hand, turned around and passed through the wind and sand, and disappeared at the end of the desert.

With the naked eye alone, its shadow is no longer visible.

At this time, Airlie naturally couldn't delay any longer.

Before using teleportation magic to send himself to the gate of the holy city, he couldn't help but recall the conversation with Merlin in his dream.

Apart from the dream in the dream and Merlin's explanation of how unlucky he was, the two of them had actually discussed some serious matters.

"The night I spent in the village in the mountains, not only did I meet the heroic spirit named Hassan, and I was tempted and warned by him for a long time, I also met..."

"As a Knight of the Round Table, Bedivere, why did he appear here and act with the human master? Merlin, do you know anything?"

"Well...Actually, you should have noticed something strange. The Lion King who built the holy city in this era was originally a possibility of failure that should never happen—"

Airlie was the one who accompanied King Arthur to the end.

But Airlie wasn't alone in King Arthur's final moments.

There is also a loyal knight of the round table accompanying her, who is responsible for returning King Arthur's holy sword to everyone in the lake, and walks towards the forest step by step.

"After the Holy Sword is returned, King Arthur will usher in real death. After Bedivere hesitated three times, he failed to return the Holy Sword because of his selfish desire of not wanting King Arthur to die. King Arthur also failed to die because of this, and picked up the Holy Sword. The gun became an undead wandering in the world, and finally the consciousness was swallowed by the holy gun, becoming the deified Lion King we see now."

"...So that's the case, no wonder Bedivere would..."

"Yeah, all these crimes were caused by Bedivere's mistakes, and naturally he has to eliminate them by himself. So, Al, you don't need to worry. It's nothing to do with you to go back to the Lion King. It doesn't matter, there are also people like Fujimaru Tachika."

"..."

"No, I always feel that something is wrong."

Even if The Lion King's Birth was a false offshoot, the one who was by her side until the end - it was still him, back then as Airlie in Armor.It can be seen from the Lion King's reaction when he saw him that she knew him, which meant that he was indeed there.

So why does he have no memory?

The main body of the Hall of Valor has not received any feedback. Logically speaking, there should be some...

"At that time, something must have happened..."

Something must have happened to make the memory of the parallel world disappear strangely.

Afterwards, when his mind was very unstable, he mentioned something else to Merlin a little bit.

"...This time, in addition to the few people mentioned above, I also met a very familiar... person."

"How to say?"

"It should be a human being. I can confirm it through the projection. The person talking to me and looking at me is definitely a human being... But, that familiar feeling that makes people cry, I really don't understand why it appears."

"Well, then ~ observe more with your intuition. Sometimes, time often becomes the fuse that causes family conflicts, emotional disputes, etc. A good-for-nothing otaku obsessed with internet idols—"

"Mr. Meilin, the good-for-nothing otaku who is obsessed with Internet idols, isn't his language too sharp, and you seem to have said this sentence before..."

"Huh? What are you talking about, dear Allie-chan? You suddenly learned to complain, but it's a little bit uncomfortable that the object of the complaint is me."

Skip the rest of the nonsense.

All in all——received the teachings of Mr. Merlin and Ozymandias successively, Airlie's heart was emptied of confusion and hesitation.

Although it is very likely that such a good state will only last for a short while...

Passing through the broken city gate, the battlefield of fighting, the destination of teleportation and landing appeared on the set for a while, and became the palace of the Lion King.

However, it's okay.

Airlie, who landed here, happened to see Fujimaru Tachika and the others in front of him. Under the protection of the heroic spirits, the human master resolutely rushed to the palace where the Lion King was.

However, an obstacle suddenly appeared in front of them.

The Sun Knight Gawain, who was supposed to guard the city gate, actually came here one step ahead to prevent them from moving forward!

Even though Airlie who appeared suddenly did not make much noise, he caught the attention of everyone present at the first moment of his appearance, including surprise, joy, disbelief, and more complicated emotions.

The joy after the surprise came from Tachika Fujimaru and Matthew.

The disbelief came from the projection that appeared beside Fujimaru Tatsuka and the others.

The man in the projection almost felt the shock from head to toe, but it wasn't panic.

While being unbelievably horrified, a sense of contradictory relief rose inexplicably in his heart, as if the "truth" he least wanted to be discovered by him, and which he most wanted to discover, burst out quietly.

After arriving here, the Heroic Spirit, who once again covered himself with the solemn knight's armor, raised his left hand without a sword in silence.

"sorry."

"I lost it."

Only said these two sentences.However, in the words, there is a touch of loss and sadness that only that person can understand.

after this--

He was facing the knight who was looking straight ahead at him, whose eyes looked extremely dark compared to the brightness of the sun.

"Gao Wenqing, please allow me to express my apology to the normal you I know later."

"Now, please step aside."
