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

About the first letter.

— My dear, Arturia.

"Adding 'dear' in front will make the tone softer and the relationship more intimate? By the way, what is the relationship between Mr. Caster and Miss Artoria?"

"Oh, it's similar to the guardian who took care of her growing up, that's brother! What--I don't like being approached by you, so I stabbed you so heartbroken with one shot? Uwah?!"

——The time in Camelot doesn't count, we met again after Fuyuki City.I have a lot of feelings in my heart. When I saw you again, I couldn't help but recall the beautiful years when we studied, practiced, and lived together.

"Hmm... Let's recall the past first? If the later relationship was not very good, then avoid it and don't mention it, and focus on describing the interesting past events that happened between you two, or the small details that can remind Miss Artoria. Create an atmosphere, and then cut to the topic."

——I remembered that when you were young, you were brought to me by Mr. Merlin by the hand, and your height only reached my waist at that time.It just so happened that you ran over from Merlin, bumped into me, and just happened to bury your head in front of my waist.

"Very good!!! That's how it feels, Mr. Caster, try to recall a little more sensational!"

——From the day we first met, we lived together.I prepare three meals a day for you and Teacher Meilin every day, clean the room for you and Teacher Meilin, and tidy up the sundries. Fortunately, I don’t feel backache because of the armor. Otherwise, I definitely don’t have the extra strength to be caught by Teacher Meilin Let's go, let's practice sword with you.

"Uh... It seems that there is no problem, but there seems to be a big problem... Who is that 'Mr. Merlin'? Why does he have such a strong sense of existence! Kick him out of the letter of apology to Miss Artoria! !"

——Although I was very tired during that time, when I think of you...well, Teacher Merlin, I don't want to.All in all, thinking of this, I couldn't help smiling.By the way, Artoria, there are still a few secrets that you probably haven't discovered. After so long, I think it's time to tell you.

"Wait, wait, I suddenly have a very bad premonition!"

——Do you still remember your favorite white dress that suddenly disappeared from the closet when you were five years old, and you can’t find it anymore?I'm sorry, I accidentally washed it too hard and tore a hole in it. I sewed the hole up with thread and put it back in your closet, but you didn't seem to recognize it at all, thinking it was gone.This point, I think it is necessary to explain.

——By the way, and, a long time ago, I overheard Gao Wenqing and Lancelot quietly discussing whether anyone has written you a love letter.Of course, what they discussed was whether there was any innocent and pure girl who wrote you a love letter, and the final conclusion was that there was no. Everyone was impressed by your masculinity and majestic aura, and felt awe in their hearts.

——No, I want to explain here again, in fact... there are!Around the time you were a teenager, a young man named Claire in the village secretly wrote a love letter and asked me to forward it to you.But Mr. Meilin stopped me. I listened to his explanation, which seemed very reasonable, so I reluctantly hid the love letter behind your back.Now I have taken that love letter back to the Hall of Valor, if you want to read it, I will bring it to you next time...

"..."

"........."

"... Enough is enough!!!"

Supervising Mr. Caster's letter writing from the beginning, before the letter was finished, the little girl Sakura Chiyo personally performed for us the whole process of normal people's expression changes from anticipation to encouragement to madness.

It's horrible!

How could anyone write a sincere apology letter like this!

Not only won't Miss Arturia feel his apology, but it will make her feel that this is a letter specially written to expose the dark history!

The little orange-haired girl was so excited that she ruffled her hair and looked devastated.

And this feeling of being on the verge of despair was too violent, which made her tenaciously resist Mr. Caster's magnificent beauty, which made her heart tremble just by looking at it, and educated him very responsibly:

"You can't write it like this, Mr. Caster. If Miss Artoria is really as you describe, with the kind of upright and serious character, she will definitely be upset."

Ellie's fingers holding the pen froze unexpectedly. With the little girl's criticism and education, the pen became lower and lower, almost parallel to the letter paper spread on the table, and his head also lowered and lowered. I'm about to bury my face.

Well, this is the most obvious manifestation of struggle, pain, entanglement, sadness, and then self-reflection for the N1th time.

"Not only am I not good at long speeches, I'm even worse at writing long speeches with a pen..."

At this time, facing the little master who hated him for being weak, Ellie felt even more guilty.

He has been occupying the desk where the master should finish his homework for a full hour and a half.

Transfer from the roof where the light can blow cold wind back to the master's home, the arrival time is 07:30 in the evening.

Sakura Chiyo was quite frightened when she secretly hid a strange man (Note: This man is not an ordinary person at first sight, and immediately panicked) into the bedroom without telling her parents. "Not only is it good-looking, but also has a nice voice, and its concealment technology is also top-notch.

Airlie walked into the gate of Sakura's house openly, and went up the stairs openly. Everyone in the family turned a blind eye to him, as if this person didn't exist at all.

"This is the little method called 'magic'. Although I am not a competent magician, sometimes these little methods I know are quite practical." Airlie introduced to Sakura Chiyo in this way.

He entered the boudoir that belonged to a young girl, but he acted very adaptable, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, the little girl felt very shy about her typical bedroom full of dolls and pink, and she was a little at a loss .

But Sakura Chiyo then thought again, Caster is not a human being, but something... a heroic spirit, and he seems to be very used to tidying girls' bedrooms, maybe in his opinion, boys' and girls' rooms are the same. The same, at most there are some differences in decoration.

So, Airlie, who hadn't noticed the rich inner activities of the human girl at all, sat down in front of the master's desk as a matter of course.

Sakura Chiyo is also a good girl who is serious and down-to-earth. Since she agreed to do her best to help Mr. Caster, she must fulfill her promise.

For this reason, she sacrificed her homework preparation time every night to assist Mr. Caster in writing an apology letter.

however……

The end result is also seen.

"Absolutely—absolutely, it cannot be sent out."

The girl folded her arms around her chest, her face was solemn, and she vetoed again in a painful voice.

Airlie, big fail!

Looking at Mr. Caster who seemed to be languishing in an instant, Sakura Chiyo was also very worried.

She is also a good girl with an extremely soft heart, and she hates other people's depression the most, not to mention that the reason for the depression is her blow.Therefore, I opened my mouth a few times and wanted to modify my words slightly-for example, it's actually not that bad... No!You can't go against your conscience, then writing it will really make the person who receives the letter angry!

After quite painful inner entanglement, Sakura Chiyo sat on the edge of the bed, put her chin on the teddy bear's head, her eyes were blank: "Well, Mr. Caster, I really want to ask... what is the question?" Do you have to write a letter? Wouldn’t it be better to say something like an apology face to face?”

After some hesitation, Airlie put down his pen.

"Because—" He also hesitated in his voice, but it was very short, and if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear it at all: "What I mentioned all happened a long, long time ago."

"long long ago?"

"Yeah, at least for me, it should be hundreds of years."

"God—"

"Of course, time is just a mere count for Heroic Spirits. If we didn't get some special encounters, our thoughts would not change, our persistence would continue, and the gap that fell at the earliest time would naturally will not be eliminated.”

"Ah, this is saying..." Sakura Chiyo couldn't keep up with Mr. Caster's train of thought, because the words came out of nowhere, and it didn't seem to have much to do with the question of "why didn't you say it in person" at the beginning.

And at this moment, Ellie looked down at his half-written apology letter again, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said something inexplicably——

"Fortunately, I have encountered a lot, so it has changed."

Sakura Chiyo: "Huh? What changed?"

Ellie didn't explain to her in depth, but only gave the simplest example: "For example, if it was me before, I would definitely not write letters."

"That's not very good..."

"No, it means that I won't apologize in person. Because, before, I couldn't even be aware of my own problems."

"Huh?! Wait, wait..."

Sakura Chiyo became more and more dizzy.

It may be because she is an observer who has no understanding of the specific situation, and only temporarily heard the guilt in his heart from Mr. Caster... She still, still can't understand, why——can't make it clear in person ?

However, just when she was about to express this doubt that she couldn't figure out anyway, the fingertips belonging to another person touched her forehead that was protruding forward while being excited.

"Okay, master, anyway, thank you for your help, hard work."

Airlie said, his eyes soft.

"09:30 in the evening, it's already very late, please wash up and get ready to go to bed." He said, he left from the desk, took away the waste paper and tidied up the desk.

Sakura Chiyo was interrupted by him, and almost forgot what she wanted to say.

"Ah? No, no, no, the problem hasn't been resolved yet. And—where will Mr. Caster sleep at night?" She struggled for a while, "Otherwise, I'll sleep on the floor, so you can sleep on the bed? Uh..."

Wait a minute, sleeping in the same room with Mr. Caster or something - so unbelievable!

In fact, she doesn't need to worry about it, Ellie will definitely not agree.

He just said: "Please don't worry about this. Heroic spirits don't need to sleep, so I will be outside the window. If the master has something to do, just shout, and I will be able to hear you and come to your side."

"There's nothing but trees outside the window—"

The voice is not over.

Sakura Chiyo watched as Mr. Caster calmly shrank his figure into a chubby blue bird and flew out through the gap in the window.She hurriedly rushed over and opened the window, and saw the little blue bird squatting on the tallest branch, it seemed that it had started to close its eyes and rest its mind.

Sakura Chiyo: "...Okay, okay."

Finally, she mustered up her courage and shouted good night to the tree branch loudly. After shouting, she maintained a dazed state and dizzily pulled the window back, but left half a gap.

After a long time, the lights in the room dimmed, and it was also shrouded in silence.

The girl who encountered a series of miraculous events during this day took a long time to fall asleep.

However, after she fell asleep.

Ellie, who has been squatting quietly among the branches, first opened his eyes, stared at the darkened house for a moment, and then retracted his gaze again.

Darkness also enveloped his world, but he did not fall asleep.

"When was it born... When I see Arturia and Gao Wenqing again, I must apologize to them—this idea."

He used to have an existence similar to a relative. At first they trusted each other and were intimate, but later, this bond broke due to her stubbornness and his indifference.

There is another one... I don't know if it should be described as a friend, or, in his heart, the knight is a respectable existence who is really like the sun and hopes to be a companion.

He told the knight that he could become a companion fighting side by side this time, but then he was forced to run counter to his "companion" because of the reason he had to do that.In the end, the dying knight still told him that he longed to be by his side, longing to walk with him.

What lingers in my heart is indeed an unbearable guilt.

"I would have confronted them directly, expressed my true thoughts without omission, and asked for their understanding."

This is also his most accustomed way of coping in the past.Don't think about anything else, don't think so much, just let your behavior directly reflect your heart.

but.

Probably just a recent change.

"I--"

"You—finally think of other people, and guess what they might think."

The sudden gentle voice rang in the ears leisurely.

At the same time, Airlie only felt light in his body, as if someone had grabbed his wrist, and in just a split second, he entered a psychedelic world.There were flowers everywhere, and he fell into the sea of ​​flowers, supported by the soft flowers.

Immediately following the front, the second half of the sentence followed immediately: "Although it is very young, there are also some mistakes that have gone downhill. But... yes, it is already very good, Al."

The little finger of Ellie's right hand moved slightly, hooking a small flower that happened to be at hand, and the helpless and depressed voice came out like this.

"Mr. Meilin, didn't you say that I don't want to go to sleep..."

Teacher Mei Lin, who always liked to drag him around without authorization, said, "Huh? Did you say that? Oh, I'm sorry, Jindu came in anyway, so just chat with me."

"Speaking of which, Ellie-chan~"

"...It's Ellie."

"A pet name, Ellie~"

"……Oh."

"As I just commented. I'm glad you've made the change and noticed it yourself, but, answer me, why are you hesitating?"

Ellie still buried herself in the flowers, for some reason, she didn't want to wake up.

"The reason... I can't tell you exactly."

"I don't want to be indifferent, and I don't want to ignore other people's emotions. I want to be closer to them, so I want to understand—but, I didn't expect that just understanding this step is so difficult."

"It has been too long and too far away to realize the wrong things I have done. Of course I want to ask for their forgiveness directly, but before I speak, I have to think about whether this apology is too late. night, it has lost its meaning, but it will make them feel troubled?"

Ahhh.

Is this "change"?

For a person who has always been outspoken and unable to capture the emotions of others to become so hesitant, there is only the power of confusion brought about by "change".

Merlin sat down beside Ellie who was lying on his stomach, stared at him for a while, with a seemingly relieved smile on his face.

Strands of soft blue hair were exposed between his fingers, and he stroked the hair of this heroic spirit who was in a state of confusion, his movements were gentle, and his voice was softer than before.

"That's where I said you went downhill, dear Al."

"Considering the thoughts of others is not a reason for you to shrink back. You who can think more and understand more are more like a 'person', you should maintain your own bravery and express what you want , What you want to ask, show it without any hesitation."

Airlie remained silent, turning his head to the left where Merlin was.

He looked at the white magician with dimmed blue eyes, and as their eyes met, the magician smiled at him again.

"Come on, let's do it in practice. You must answer me according to your true thoughts—you who understand people's hearts, can you see what I'm thinking? Okay, one more question, Ellie~ I haven't seen you in a long time. Do you miss me?"

"..."

Ellie stared at him for a long time before saying, "I can't tell."

Merlin smiled, neither regretful nor disappointed, although he said: "Ah, what a pity."

"If it's so easy for you to see, I'll—"

"If you want to talk about your true thoughts...the latter question, I know."

Merlin paused for a moment before hearing Ellie speak in a low voice.

"I miss you very much, Teacher Merlin. Thank you for your guidance, I seem to understand a little more."

——Every familiar person and parting person, he misses and wants to see each other again.

"........."

This time, Merlin, who hadn't expected him to say that at all, was silent for quite a while before picking up the conversation again.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but in the voice of the magician who has always been at ease, as if everything is under control, there is a bit of inseparable helplessness added.

"Although I can guess what you want to express, well, let's take it out of context, it shouldn't matter." He could only say this sadly.

"That's it, that's the state. After waking up, you must continue to maintain it in front of Arthur and the others. Now, go to sleep with peace of mind."

Ellie was touched by Merlin again, his face was buried in the flowers, he half-closed his eyes, and subconsciously protested: "I told you I don't want to go to sleep... okay."

"Good night, Teacher Merlin."

"Good night. My dear..."

His half-closed eyes gradually closed, and he didn't notice that Merlin omitted the second half of his name when he called him.

It seemed as if the eyelids were closed and closed for a whole night.

When consciousness regains consciousness——

Airlie, who had been standing on the branch all night, flapped his stiff wings a few times, and welcomed the extra warm sunshine.

*****

It was also a beautiful morning after a night.

In the rented studio of manga artist Umetaro Nozaki, the stalemate and oppressive atmosphere lasted all night, and it didn't subside until then.

"You can't go on like this, sir."

"My king, I think so too."

"It's not time for breakfast. Master, who stayed up all night drawing comics, passed out again due to overwork. I really didn't expect that the job of a cartoonist is so difficult and hard. Only by risking your life can you support your family. As a Servant , we have to share his worries."

"Although in my opinion, the master fainted exaggeratedly after quietly looking through the balance of the deposit... Ahem, gentlemen, I, Lancelot, was the first to respond to my king's proposal."

"So, since we want to share the master's worries, does it mean that we need to find a way to obtain enough currency in human society?"

"That's it."

"Yes."

"Secretary Aggressive, who is the most experienced in business, do you have any advice?"

"That's right, we still have Lord Agravis."

"Secret Aggression!"

Agnes: "..."

The assistant officer, who suddenly became popular, actually didn't want to talk to these people very much.

But among "these people", there is still the king he recognizes.

Forced to be helpless.

Only a few words were squeezed out from the assistant officer's teeth: "Open, shop, let's go."

"With no starting capital at all, I can only choose the most down-to-earth method. Of course, I am confident that I can run an ordinary store into a business empire worthy of my king's status. But—"

"but?"

"The most critical starting capital."

"Gao Wenqing, whether it's a street performer or a show of lust, I'll leave it to you to dedicate the first effort to the king."

Gao Wen: "...Wait a minute, why me?!"

Why else.

Guys who dare not even confess affectionately are destined to be reduced to the lowest level figures who are despised by the Knights of the Round Table.
