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

Finally came here.

Holding the holy gun, the indifferent goddess who could no longer be called King Arthur stood in front of her throne, scanning the enemies who broke into the holy city with her eyes without any warmth.

"I am the Lion King. Lord of the Storm and Lord of the End."

Just the words from a high place carry a deterrent that makes it difficult to take a step forward and even more difficult to look directly at.

"—Are you the ones who called me?"

"—Are you the ones who betrayed me?"

...Among the crowd who faced her directly, there should be two betrayers.

A member of the Knights of the Round Table, the king who failed to return the Holy Lance and became an undead wandering around the world——the knight Bedivere who made such a mistake.

He made up his mind to make atonement, even if it was to let the king rest in peace, he had to return the holy sword. For this reason, he was willing to stand on the opposite side of the former monarch and his companions.

There is another person, as a matter of course, who betrayed the master Lion King's heroic spirit Ellie as a servant.

When the idea of ​​"betrayal" came to his mind, he actually didn't think that much, he just followed his heart and wanted to leave.Later, when it proved that his decision was extremely correct, he was finally relieved, and his mind was completely firm.

"...Remember, you are Sir Bedivere, a knight who was loyal to me until the end. I can forgive your crimes, Sir Bedivere, and you can still get the chance to stand by my side. "

"As for you—the traitor, I have no intention of calling you by your name anymore. You came to me in this posture, presumably because you knew you had no face to face me again, and came to accept punishment with the traitor. "

Airlie didn't deny that the first half of the sentence was right and hit his point completely.

But, for the second half of the sentence, please allow him...not to agree.

"I'm sorry, master, I really have no face to face your eyes as a betrayer."

Airlie paused slightly, and clenched his hands hanging by his side involuntarily. After a moment of stalemate, he relaxed again: "But you misspoken about my purpose. I came here to witness your death fail--"

"At the same time, after you fail, I have some questions I want to ask you."

"It's even more arrogant." The Lion King said, "However, I don't intend to talk too much with you, because from this moment on, the ending between you and them has been settled."

There is no room for communication.

The decisive battle with the Lion King thus kicked off.

As he himself said, Airlie - came here as a witness.

With his strength, he is still unable to participate in a battle of this level, so he can only wait and watch.

Doctor Roman's projection is the same as him, observing the battle from the perspective of a bystander on the edge of the battlefield. At this time, the two of them still have no communication.

——The confrontation with the Lion King became anxious.

——Difficult to defeat, looks about to fail.

——Until, at the last moment, Bedivere, King Arthur's most loyal knight, overcame the fear in his heart and his body that turned into mud step by step, and returned the holy sword to the Lion King.

Scene after scene, all were reflected in the eyes of the witnesses.

There is no doubt that what is overflowing in my heart at this moment is the bitter "sorrow".And for some reason, amidst the sadness, there seemed to be an unexplainable faint joy.

When Bedivere passed away, in addition to smiling and saying goodbye with satisfaction, he seemed to have taken a special look at a silent heroic spirit.

——The mission I have to complete is over, and this broken soul can finally find peace. Next, it's your turn to clear up the confusion. You who have never spoken your name during this journey...Airlie.

The gazes cast seemed to express such a heartfelt voice.

After returning the holy sword, the Lion King can also rest in peace.

The disappearance of the holy gun and Bedivere symbolizes that the singularity of this era has been restored, and the important purpose of the human master coming here has been completed.

And with the rapid recovery of the singularity, the outsiders and foreign things that do not belong to this era will be excluded.Especially Fujimaru Tachika and the others, they will be forcibly sent back to Chaldea soon.

But, before that—

"The time to say goodbye has come, but please allow me to express my thanks to you first."

Those who left did not include Airlie.

After the singularity is repaired, the heroic spirit without a master will disappear, but Ellie's master is the Lion King who will disappear with the disappearance of this holy city that does not belong to this era after losing the holy spear.

Therefore, he will stay until the contract is truly terminated.

"This time, let me accompany Artoria to the end, even though she probably doesn't want to see me."

Airlie said these words to Fujimaru Tatsuka who was showing a reluctant face, but his eyes seemed to stop on the projection beside Fujimaru Tatsuka inadvertently.

"I understand, I can see it very clearly, this is sadness, why do you show such a sad expression? It's because, do you still want to see me again?"

Fujimaru Tachika and Mash nodded emphatically.

Although seriously counting, they spent very little time with Caster, most of the time they saw the sleeping little blue bird.However, this mysterious heroic spirit can always give them a reliable and friendly feeling, and there is another reason... His voice is so beautiful!

Good to hear this level: Scratching his ears and cheeks, he felt the urge to take off his helmet and see what a man with such a nice voice looks like.

"Of course! I want to see Caster again, but..."

This is Fujimaru Tatsuka's voice.

—I...if you must know.ok I admit it!I want, I really want to, every day I spend in the future, I want to see you.

This is the information conveyed by the gloomy eyes of Dr. Roman in Chaldea, who is far away in the projection.

"it is good."

The heroic spirit who received these true thoughts said softly: "I also want to see you again, you guys."

He seems to have said one more word "you", and it seems that he didn't say more. In short, the sound of the word is vague between his teeth, so vague that he can't hear clearly.

"Then, I promise."

"As long as there is a need in the future, at any time, as long as you—Fujimaru Tateka, the last master of mankind, call my name, I will immediately respond to your call and come to your side."

Maybe they don't know that this promise is equivalent to an almost explicit hint to Ellie.

Because he is a Heroic Spirit who "answers whoever calls".

Under this premise, he is telling them: You are the top priority, as long as you call, I will come immediately no matter what time it is.

Hearing this sentence—this promise that can be called a surprise, Fujimaru Tachika's eyes lit up immediately.

Of course, the human master didn't see it, and there was a person behind him with brighter eyes than him, as if the light of hope had risen in an instant.

"So so so Caster, you haven't told us about your—"

You haven't told us your name yet!

Not only the name, but even the face was not revealed in public.

When Bedivere was still around, he obviously knew Caster, but he said that he couldn't tell them the truth if Caster didn't want to.

Before Gawain disappeared, he seemed to have called Caster's name, but they were too far apart to hear clearly.

"Yeah, I almost forgot."

Ellie remembered too.

The Singularity Restoration is increasingly rejecting the people of Chaldea. Seeing that they can no longer stay here for a long time, Airlie thought that he just took advantage of the last time to solve this remaining problem.

At the same time as he opened his mouth, he happened to involuntarily take a light step forward, because right in front of him, the human master who was being pulled by the attraction seemed to be involuntarily stretching out his hand towards him.

"my name is--"

click.

Kakaka.

clack clack clack-

For some reason, the ground under my feet suddenly trembled violently... No!

The ground didn't tremble in any way.

This astonishing sense of shock seemed to travel through space and time, and everyone in Chaldea, who was enveloped by the fast-moving timeline, could also feel it.

Enormous pressure.

All the changes happened only in the blink of an eye, and the incomparable deterrence that made people unable to resist at all, just for a moment, let the words "powerless" appear in the heart, just like...

It is a sign that a certain being has come here!

"...is it coming again?"

The Lion King, who chose the holy city to live and die together, was still sitting on her throne with an indifferent expression until just now.However, when the accident occurred, she raised her eyes slightly and said such a sentence.

Ellie, whose voice was interrupted, also turned around suddenly at this moment.

However, it is not voluntary.

He could barely turn his head, and all the joints in his body seemed to be frozen.Because, before making any movements, cold sweat had already oozed out like rain, and the indescribable chill eroded the body.

Seeing through the expressions of Fujimaru Tachika and Mash—unlike him, they were facing his back in the opposite direction—shock, horror, and disbelief all appeared in the depths of the pupils of the human master and the others.

Among them, Doctor Roman, whose projection screen was shaking violently, looked the most horrified.

"Why, what I saw in London... all..."

"That is--"

"Solomon!!!"

That's right... This white-haired, brown-skinned figure surrounded by phantoms, with a feeling of contradictions, is undoubtedly the culprit who personally created this burning of humanity that Fujimaru Tatsuka met at the fourth singularity. The culprit, King Solomon!

Why is he here?

Why, King Solomon, who didn't pay attention to everyone in Chaldea, appeared in their field of vision now that the sixth singularity had been repaired? !

The answer to this incredible question is revealed next.

In their more unacceptable way——

First, the still indifferent voice of the Lion King was transmitted in the space.

"The truth you want to know doesn't need me to recount it."

Those words were aimed at the Heroic Spirit whose body was stiff but still struggling to turn around.After barely turning his body around, he was completely unable to move after being soaked in sweat.

"After Sir Bedivere entered the forest, he suddenly appeared, and the person who took you away from me—"

"It's here. With the same defiant attitude as before."

……

"Impossible... Solomon and Caster..."

Fujimaru Tatsuka's slightly trembling voice was only half spoken.

The speed of repairing the singularity suddenly increased, and at the last moment before being rolled back to Chaldea, the scene left in the field of vision was:

Since the day when he knew the general truth, the king of magic who has brought them a layer of dark clouds has truly transcended time and space.He came to the frozen Heroic Spirit and grabbed his hand——

"..."

"..."

The light flashed, Fujimaru Tachika and others returned to Chaldea.

silence.

It's hard to describe how I feel now.

Skipping the consolation after completing the mission that everyone lost interest, the Chaldean commander who stayed in the monitoring room on the grounds of supplementing the observation records for a longer period of time stared straight at him without saying a word. The projection equipment that has been completely turned off in front of him.

After a long, long silence, the first sound was heard.

"...What the hell do you want to do?"

Someone finally couldn't restrain his emotions, and slammed his fist heavily on the instrument in front of him, with almost uncontrollable force.

He also said these few words.

*****

"..."

According to modern terms, the current experience, that is...

He was "kidnapped"?

Although this statement is closer to reality, it is still unexpectedly somewhat inconsistent.

Airlie was taken by a terrifying presence that suddenly appeared in The Lion King's holy city.

That person easily grabbed his hand, ignoring all other sights and sounds, and then pulled him away, arriving at an independent palace that did not exist in any era.

And the following journey is no longer unfamiliar, but like revisiting the old place accompanied by an indelible sense of familiarity——

The top of the head is composed of cedar beams, and the patterns carved on the four walls of the palace are as fine as in memory, as if he only left for a short while when he came here again, and everything here remains bright as before.

They ascended the spiral staircase, passed through the glittering hall covered with gold powder, and came to the luxurious chambers where the king and his queen once lived.

Finally, he sat down on the edge of the bed.

That terrifying coercion disappeared long ago. When he took the first step into the palace, Ellie returned to his original appearance, and the armor of the solemn knight disappeared quietly.

Being here, he didn't panic, let alone panic.

After the other party sat down next to him, he began to stare at him intently, but only stared, and did not speak.

His reaction was the same, looking back, there was no impurity in his eyes, only doubts that gradually settled down.

After staring peacefully for a long time, there was still no ripple in the other party's eyes, but finally there were movements that were no longer limited to quietness.

Although the speed was extremely slow...but he raised a hand.

The black magic pattern stretched up from the wrist, and the five fingers wearing rings were slightly raised, sweeping across the face of this calm heroic spirit who was also looking directly at him.

It seems that he is carefully describing the perfect facial features of the heroic spirit, taking into account every detail, and no omissions are allowed.Finally, his fingertips slid down along the corner of Ellie's forehead, so that a strand of loose forehead hair that was picked up quietly fell down, covering the eyelids lightly.

"..."

Airlie was not indifferent to this seemingly soft and delicate touch.

His eyes changed slightly, the mist of doubt became lighter, and transformed into a relief that he finally realized something.

So it was—he thought so.

Then, before the man's fingers that had slipped to his neck were retracted, he broke the silence with his voice.

"who are you?"

"Your dearest, most beloved person."

The man replied with the same cold voice as his.

"No, although the body you're using is one," Airlie said.

The man who was watching him calmly was either King Solomon or not.

To be precise, what is presented before us is the body of King Solomon before his death. Therefore, the "thing" occupying this body—maybe it is not a person or a thing, and it is difficult to sum it up precisely—has the same appearance as King Solomon. Appearance and form.

This familiar but extremely strange man is like a mirror.

The mirror can reflect everything in the outside world, and among the many personalities he possesses, the characteristics most similar to the person reflected surfaced on the surface.Talk to a violent person, he will be angry and manic, talk to a wise person, he will also be wise and far-sighted.

It is Airlie who is facing him now, therefore, the peace of mind of "King Solomon" is like a pool of water that has been silent for many years. At the same time, he is tolerant and friendly. of ripple.

"I am Solomon, the all-knowing and all-powerful king of magic."

"Well, no."

Ellie still said so.

He had already seen the real Solomon, and even though that person had turned into a human being with a completely different appearance and personality, and was not in front of him, he recognized it without any doubt by virtue of his familiarity with that soul.

Moreover, even if he hadn't seen the real Solomon before, he could still see the strangeness of the "King Solomon" in front of him at a glance.

It's still like a mirror... This "Solomon" seems to have copied the actions that Solomon did to Ellie, and did it again.

But there was no tenderness that a real Solomon would have on his unwavering face—although it was very faint, when he looked at him, it was like the sunlight crushed by tulle scattered in his eyes, and warmed it up. Hazy colors.

He looked at him, just observing, or searching for something.

This is a vision that can only be cast by seeing itself as a supreme being that can surpass human beings.

Neither humans nor Ellie, who is here at the moment, can enter the eyes of this "Solomon".

That's right, even Airlie, who has the identity of "King Solomon's Queen", would not let "Solomon" notice at any time if there were no accidents.

——It was just a Heroic Spirit whose spirit base was particularly weak, and who relied on King Solomon to survive.

At the beginning, his death symbolized the disappearance of King Solomon's only heart, returning to the original state of ruthlessness.This shows that his existence is not necessary, at least for the current "Solomon", he does not need this queen.

So why did "Solomon" who didn't care about Airlie show up and bring him back here?

The reason is also easy to guess.

That is, "Solomon" suddenly couldn't see the "future" clearly.

The end of human extinction has been established long ago. This is the reality that the small group of people can't change no matter how hard they struggle. "Solomon" saw this end very clearly with his clairvoyance, so, except for the previous appearance, he never No attention was paid to the stubborn human beings.

Under such a confident and indifferent premise, the clearly presented ending suddenly became blurred. The culprit who caused this strange situation seemed to be a heroic spirit who came to the sixth singularity by accident——

"Solomon" didn't realize until then that there is still a special existence in the world that he ignores, who can't see the past and the future at all.

He had brought back an Airlie before, but the magic of that one was so unstable that it lasted only a moment and then disappeared.So, after a little more work, "Solomon" came to the sixth singularity where everyone in Chaldea was there, and brought back Ellie there.

The purpose is indeed to observe and find out where the factors affecting his plan are.

But after bringing Ellie back, "Solomon" found that apart from the past and future possessed by this heroic spirit named Ellie, the "future" of human beings that had been obscured before seemed to have faded away. Generally, re-visible clearly.

Moreover, the ending has not changed in the slightest, and human beings will eventually perish.

So... I suddenly couldn't see the future clearly, was it just because this heroic spirit appeared at the singularity, which affected his vision?

This conclusion is very convincing. In addition, there is really no threat from Ellie, so "Solomon" completely let go of his superficial doubts.

From Ellie's point of view, it can be seen that the man with the appearance of King Solomon looked at him indifferently for a while, and then suddenly stood up on his own.

It was quieter than the previous silence, because from the moment he stood up and left with his back turned to Ellie, his all-knowing eyes would not be reflected in the half of Ellie's figure.

Ellie was startled for a moment, and then chased after him.

Following behind "Solomon", they went back the way they had come.However, after descending the long revolving staircase, "Solomon" seemed to deviate from the direction and walked into the main hall of the palace.

"Sorry, I'm going back to the Hall of Valor."

Airlie said behind him.

"Solomon" didn't answer, and his footsteps didn't stop, completely ignoring Airlie.

"Although I don't understand what your intentions are... Thank you for letting me come back here." Ellie said again, he didn't think about anything, and he completely followed his inner thoughts.

Up to here, he has nothing else to say.However, just as he was about to stop, "Solomon", who had been walking in front of him without any reaction, stopped unexpectedly.

The moment the man turned around, Ellie seemed to see that "Solomon" frowned slightly when his eyes fell on him again.

"..."

"……What's wrong?"

"..."

"...This feeling is really familiar. Can you also see what I'm about to encounter? If you can, can you tell me in advance, will you encounter any particularly unlucky..."

Now it was clearly seen that "Solomon" frowned expressionlessly, although very lightly.

As soon as the voice fell, his hand was raised spontaneously.Subconsciously spread out his fingers, and the revealed palm... was suddenly filled with a handful of dark odds and ends.

Airlie stared at his palm in a little surprise: "This is—the seed of a plant?"

"Solomon" still didn't answer, and hasn't spoken to him since.

In the empty golden hall, only Airlie was left standing in front of the stairs.

Holding a handful of seeds of unknown species, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took another step.The direction chosen this time is not the direction where "Solomon" is.

He followed the first, but fortunately not forgotten memory of his time living here, to the main gate of the palace.

The lights were bright, illuminating the golden splendor of the room. Almost everything here was made up of King Solomon's magic power. Therefore, they should welcome and respect the arrival of the person whom the king promised to cherish.

I don't know why.

At the moment of passing through this towering gate, some distant pictures quietly came to mind.

This is probably called "touching the scene to create emotion".

A long, long time ago... a young man who was ignorant and ignorant came here groping his way.

Relying on the fact that the guards who stayed where they were after seeing him did not dare to touch him, let alone step forward to block him, he stepped into the door quite calmly.

At that time, the king was walking in the long winding staircase.

The courtiers who accompanied the king were a step behind him, reporting urgent state affairs in a low voice. While talking, they were surprised to find that the king's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Are you the most powerful person in this world?"

As if receiving the guidance of God, the young man raised his head, his voice was softer than Qingyu's, and his clear eyes were like rain and dew, like sweet springs, reflecting his beautiful and flawless face.

He ignorantly asked the king, who was leaning on the wooden railing in the stairwell, "If so, can I propose to you?"

"I heard it, this is the voice of my destined beloved."

The king said, reversing the steps he wanted to move forward.He descended the stairs and walked through the long corridor, using his own figure to block the ecstatic gaze of all but himself on the young man.

He grabbed the love in his heart, prevented him from leaving, and led him into the inner hall.His left hand was under his jaw, and his right embraced him.

"The most powerful person, is he really willing to agree to my marriage proposal? Then, I also promise that I will not leave you."

So the king put a token on him.

The ring, which is the same style as the ring given by God, symbolizes recognition and commitment, and has stayed in the fingers of young people ever since.

……

……

That's right...rings.

The original ring was broken twice, and there was no trace of it when it was broken the second time.But he was given a new ring, albeit an additional replica.

Put it back on.

—Shortly after, he heard the voice calling again.
