The snow-white gauze had been cut off in a large amount in a panic, and then wound up more hastily, and there were still thick blood-colored fingers on the wrapping.
The man's movements were so flustered that he lost his composure, but the hands that wrapped the other man's wound layer by layer with gauze did not tremble in the slightest.
Only he can do such contradictory things.
Combining the professionalism that comes with being a medical staff with the nervousness that is almost frightened to break a big hole in the heart, on the contrary, it can be more calm, responsive and quick to deal with emergencies...
wrong.
No!
Leaving aside the seemingly calm actions now, the first "emergency treatment" he made at the moment his heart stopped was already so stupid that he regretted it.
The texture of the fabric can be felt under the fingers, and it looks transparent against the already clear jade fingers, and the bright white really reflected in Roman's eyes that couldn't help being fascinated.
For some reason, he swallowed even more involuntarily, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and it seemed that there was still a strong smell of blood in his mouth, which was difficult to dissipate for a while.
He was reluctant to let them appear, but even more reluctant to let them scatter lightly.
Seeing the appearance of red, the blood dripped down from Yingrun's fingertips indifferently. Before he could react, the man at that time grabbed Ellie's hand and put the other's injured index finger in his mouth.
There were a lot of words that he wanted to say without thinking at that moment, and the one that rushed to the front was probably the anger gushing out of his heart when he felt distressed to the extreme—of course he couldn’t be angry with the person he loved the most, even if he realized that Ellie may have done this with a small intention of really wanting to anger him, and he will not be angry.
This is the person he loves the most. He has loved him deeply since the first time he saw him when he first met him. It was hard to see him with his own eyes, and it was hard to touch him with his own hands. It could be his own fault.
Of course, as a result of being shocked and distressed, he still couldn't help but want to teach him a lesson.
Say something, "Even if I want to bite you, it's okay to pretend to bite you a little bit", or simply shout out your own voice in one go, and tell him "You will make my heart hurt", in short, you must say something...
Just as he was hesitating, Roman saw unexpectedly: after being subconsciously sucked on the wound by him, Ellie's long and slender eyebrows, which were already a little wrinkled, jumped slightly, obviously in severe pain.
Roman: "...?!"
This stupid, caring man didn't realize until now that Ellie bit his own fingertips, and this bite was not light at all, almost directly biting the most fragile flesh.This kind of injury cannot be stopped by sucking with the mouth at all, but it will add fuel to the fire.
He couldn't say anything, his face was flushed, he let go of Ellie's poor fingers in a hurry, and instead grabbed the person who was still standing still, and dragged him towards the infirmary. .
Arriving at the infirmary where the wound can be treated urgently at the fastest speed, Roman used the fastest speed to find out the applicable medicine and medical gauze, disinfect, check whether the wound needs to be sutured, and apply the medicine——
The last step is the bandaging step that he is currently undergoing when his thoughts come back.
"..."
"..."
The silence continued.
Since entering the infirmary, the doctor and the injured have not communicated again.
At this time, the air was filled with the strange smell of disinfectant, and the wounded was sitting on the empty bed in the infirmary, which was also covered with snow-white sheets, looking down at his fingers being bandaged, while the empty bed That hand rested lightly on her knee very obediently.
Because of wound treatment, the doctor standing at the bedside must be closer to his patient.He also lowered his head, and on the surface he was doing his duty wholeheartedly, as if at this moment, he had nothing else on his mind.
"……doctor."
who is talking?
Oh, this voice is——
"What? What's the matter, Ellie?"
As soon as Roman opened his mouth, he couldn't control it, and was a little incoherent.
Ellie didn't raise his eyes to look directly into the man's eyes, and still lowered his eyelids, only letting his calm voice as always spread to the man's ears: "You seem, a little nervous?"
Roman: "Nervous? No, how could you be nervous, hahaha..."
sigh.
Airlie's extremely low sigh made the heart of the man who was still holding on tight suddenly.
As if helpless, and with a hint of wanting to laugh, Ellie coughed and said, "Hey, it's too tightly bandaged to move."
Under Roman's shocked gaze, Ellie raised his own finger that had been hugged into a mummified dumpling.Looking at it this way, it is really too tight, not to mention very unsightly, the joints are absolutely unable to bend, and it will seriously affect daily life.
The absent-mindedness hidden under the doctor's professional and serious shell is thoroughly exposed.
……Awkward.
It was so embarrassing!
Roman laughed twice: "Ha, haha, I'm sorry, I'm—I'll take this apart first, and then start again..."
It was as if the confidence that had been slowly accumulated until now was pierced through a hole, and most of it was missed at once. In the process of removing the gauze that was equivalent to wasted, the man's movements involuntarily slowed down a bit.
When the cloth is completely removed, the previously covered fingers are revealed again.
The picture that had been deeply reflected in his eyes a long time ago, as if to remind him, also crashed into his unavoidable field of vision again.
"..."
"Take some more medicine."
Just seeing it at a glance is an unspeakable torture in my heart.But Roman still forced himself not to look away, he had to see more clearly, only in this way could he use deeper and deeper guilt to suppress the impulse that had long been irresistible.
Get closer.
Get closer!
Obviously he is right in front of you.
These are the lines that the impulse clamored for.
"Wait a minute, I'll look for it again, it can work on Heroic Spirit..."
Having said that, Roman suddenly turned around, ready to take some wound medicines that might have better effects from the medicine shelf.However, just as he turned around, he felt that the hem of his overalls was pulled a little harder by the person behind him.
Xu Shi didn't pay attention, and it happened to be the hand that was still bleeding.Therefore, a small bloodstain was conspicuously placed on a corner of the doctor's clean uniform.
Roman, who happened to see it when he turned around, said, "..."
Airlie, who really didn't notice: "..."
At this moment, Airlie finally saw clearly that the face of the pink-haired man, who had been showing alienation and rigidity, seemed to suddenly become blank.
And wait for him to come back to God.
Anger, sadness, and more emotions that Airlie couldn't identify, all flashed across the restrained strange face.
All of a sudden, Airlie felt flustered unexpectedly.
For a moment, he couldn't understand what the man in front of him was angry or sad about. He just subconsciously thought, "Doctor Roman" is angry, whether he is angry with him.
And this panic, after realizing that Roman was staring at the hem of his clothes that he was still holding on to for a while, seemed to push his hand away and backed up, it suddenly magnified.
"……Sorry, I--"
"I didn't mean to make you angry."
Ellie let go of his hand quickly, and used the healing magic very quickly. The wound that had been blooming, which had been particularly hideous before, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't take long for him to return to an intact state.
It was so simple to use magic to heal the injury. He never thought about whether such behavior would make the doctor who had been working on the wound even more "angry".
Roman was still silent, but Ellie looked up at him again, and carefully pulled the hem of the man's clothes again with hands that would no longer bleed or stain the man's clothes.
Pulled.
The man didn't back down.
Ellie breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was time for honest reflection and apology.
"I thought you wouldn't come to me."
"I'm really glad you could come."
Although he has recently learned to empathize and use a little bit of euphemism, when analyzing his inner world, he has always been straightforward, never concealed, and never bent around.
"I want to hear from you what your real intention is."
Ellie could understand that the so-called physical examination was just an excuse for this man.He was looking forward to it in his heart, but later found that the man put the topic aside and wanted to leave without saying a few words. The expectation inevitably turned into disappointment, and he was a little... angry.
Yes, even Ellie would be a little angry when encountering such a slow-moving situation.
He didn't think too much in his mind at all, he bit his own finger, just for that one thought——
"Because I want you to stay..."
The man still didn't speak, and Airlie saw that his expression seemed to be frozen, only the emerald green eyes that didn't know when they opened wide were still covered with a layer of haze, making it impossible to see the emotion. barrier.
Then make persistent efforts.
He's always been so stubborn.
"Doctor Roman, are you still angry?"
How can I calm down a man?While speaking, he was also thinking about this question.
The final solution was that, with a sudden movement in his heart, Ellie groped around with his free hand, raised his clenched fist slightly, and spread out five fingers under the man's eyes, revealing the secret hidden in his palm. of tiny items.
That's a ring.
The style is very simple, as if the ring has been polished by a long time.
Although it is no longer the original broken one, but after the original owner personally imitated it, it can still restore its original appearance almost perfectly.
When he was still in Camelot, Da Vinci slipped the ring to him quietly. Ellie learned the lesson of being destroyed by the Holy Lance, armor and ring together on his chest, and put the newly acquired ring on the elsewhere.
It has been put away for so long, and it was not brought out again until today—just to show it to its original owner.
"Now we are the only ones here, and no one else is around. However, for the sake of confidentiality, let's not say what you don't want to tell me, but just say something else, something that can be said... okay?"
"look."
Noticing that from the moment his eyes fell on the ring involuntarily, the man's expression full of distance finally loosened, and Ellie finally became happy.
"I've been keeping it." Unconsciously, he put on a tone similar to offering a treasure, but in the middle of speaking, he paused abruptly: "It shouldn't be worn out...Let me see."
Just as he was about to put down the arm holding the ring, and return to his eyes for a closer look...Airlie was suddenly startled.
The man who had kept silent until now actually moved.
Before Ellie could react, Roman had already squeezed the ring between his fingers.
He wore white gloves that covered his hands very tightly.
However, when he wrapped the imitation ring into his palm as Ellie did just now, and slowly clenched his five fingers tightly, the end of the pulp of the middle finger revealed a circle of protrusions that also seemed to have a ring. rise.
"So that's how Da Vinci delivered it. He lied to me when he came back and said that she lost the ring..."
Roman's voice couldn't hide his low voice, as if he fell into memory for a moment.However, when he withdrew from the memories, the corners of his mouth slowly evoked an impure smile.
"No, I'm not angry with you...Impossible, no matter when or what happens, it's impossible to be angry with you."
"I'm just angry at myself for dragging on for so long before hesitating to decide to 'forward', and because I'm still so weak."
Romani Akiman is indeed a hopeless man.
Now he himself can deeply realize and understand why Da Vinci dislikes the hesitant him so much.
Silently, the fist clenched even tighter, as if what was clenched was not the ring, but the extremely weak heart that pretended to be hard.
His heart was indeed aching.
It is the dull pain caused by the blunt blade that grinds away the flesh little by little, rather than the intense feeling of cutting that can be felt in a flash.
"There is nothing I can't tell you." It was almost a word-by-word pause, wanting to pour out all the sorrow and contradictory happiness that was surging in the chest: "Yes, there are only us here..."
"Great."
"I have a lot to say, all of which I want to tell you."
Unlike the man's complicated wry smile, Ellie really smiled happily.
"Okay, then choose what you want to say most now, and tell me first."
At this moment, what I want to say most——
Ah, that is "that sentence", without hesitation, there is no extra choice.
"..."
"—I miss you. All the time."
Even if he was asked to say a few more words, he would just keep repeating this sentence.It's like once upon a time, in countless days and nights, I put the thoughts of my lover between my teeth and chewed repeatedly.
"I want to see you."
"Really, really really really—really want to see you."
I don't know when the breathing begins to interweave.
There seemed to be an aura with a temperature that could make the skin hot. It swept across the nose like a veil, and some aftertaste fell between the lips that could not help but open.
When Roman suddenly realized that something was wrong, and suddenly came back to his senses, he realized that he was actually instigated by the emotion that can make a weak person brave and impulsive at once—bending down, holding Ellie shoulders, and the angle of descent of the body is still decreasing.
It was so sudden, unknowingly...
Airlie's bright blue eyes seemed to be close to his eyes, and he could clearly see the starlight he was looking for, as well as himself.
Closer are the ends of their noses, and the corners of their mouths where the breath comes together.
Roman also found that he even tilted his head slightly in a trance, and staggered the nose tips that were about to collide.By doing so, his lips can fall unhindered, and the red lips of another person who is close at hand, only separated by a paper-thin gap.
"..."
For a moment, he suddenly thought of a very small thing he did a long time ago - with the identity he had abandoned.
King Solomon fell in love at first sight with a beautiful and pure young man who strayed into the palace.
Regardless of opposition, he planned an extremely luxurious wedding for the queen he recognized at a glance, and correspondingly, it inevitably took a long time.
During the preparation period, the young man living in the palace contracted an unidentifiable disease for unknown reasons, and became weak on the day of the wedding.
But, even so, that night, the queen sat by the bed and watched the king in wedding clothes walking towards her.
Solomon remembered what the queen looked like then.
Roman still remembered the way Airlie looked at him.
Even the postures were exactly the same as now—one was sitting while the other stopped in front of him, leaning over to kiss him.
The only difference is...
There was no soft, bright light in the eyes of the queen looking at the king as it is now.
—He has indeed changed.
——In the later years that I didn't know and couldn't participate in, someone other than Solomon guided out the light hidden in the pure soul, so that he, who could only pursue external light sources, could also bloom.
Roman is considering whether he wants to add another difference to the difference between the present and the past.
The old Solomon didn't realize what the queen's gaze represented, or, if he did, didn't care.
He kissed him and slowly laid him down on the bed covered with soft petals.
Although due to the queen's health, he just kissed and did nothing else, Solomon's attitude towards his queen was reasonable and without any doubts.
The current Roman was able to realize, and was even lucky enough to discover the difference, but his hesitation was unavoidable.
If he does this, it means that he will really cross the "boundary" he drew for himself for the second time, and he will not be able to stay at the level of "as long as he can see him and touch him".
Why didn't I realize that he was so greedy before?
Do you want to cross over?
This step is the paper-thin distance, which can be easily crossed in reality.
Do you want to step over?
Now, is he qualified to step over without hesitation and face the possible consequences?
The answer... actually appeared in my heart a long time ago.
He is willing to-
"Chirp."
A breath so soft that it was almost inaudible, appeared between the lips that touched together.
Ellie sat blankly for so long, without waiting for Roman to make any next move.
The man's rapid breathing sprayed all over his face, making him feel very itchy, but for some reason, he always felt that he couldn't move, and probably couldn't speak—
Then you can only figure out the meaning of the man's action.
Airlie thought about it for a while, as if he had understood it, and suddenly realized it.
He leaned forward a little, taking the initiative to fill in the distance that was too small to be seen.
Because the strength of the kiss was not well controlled, the noise of "chirp—" was still heard, but the flaws were not concealed.
However... I don't know if it's Ellie's failure to guess the intention, or Roman's own problem.
All in all, Roman still didn't respond.
"Well, what's the matter?"
Just when Ellie asked in such a puzzled manner, the reaction came.
Roman: "..."
He didn't say a word, but when he closed his eyes, the older innocent virgin who had degraded his receptivity after becoming a human being smoked from his head and fainted blissfully with nosebleeds.
Airlie: "..."
Airlie: "What's going on?! So——Dr. Roman! Take heart!"
Countless healing magics were used to wake up the man with a peaceful face as if his soul had already ascended to heaven. Ellie actually discovered that Roman's body had no other problems except excessive fatigue, so... Could it be that he Passed out from exhaustion? !
Airlie, who had never seen such a fainting method, was really surprised.
"...Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you can just sleep here."
Facing the man who was moved to the bed and put on the quilt, Ellie whispered to him who was unable to respond, and then he noticed that someone—a heroic spirit was approaching the infirmary.
Sure enough, it took a while.
Miss Joan of Arc pushed open the door of the infirmary, glanced inside, and when she saw Ellie who was standing and looking at her and Roman who fainted peacefully, an expression of disgust appeared on her face again.
"What are you doing? If I remember correctly, the one lying down is the doctor."
Airlie said, "That's right, but the doctor fainted from fatigue... Is Miss Black Joan here to see a doctor?"
Miss Black Joan: "Oh, just kidding! How could I be sick!"
"That is……"
Ellie was just about to ask her if she wanted to see Dr. Roman for anything, but suddenly, his expression changed and his body froze suddenly.
The magic rioted.
A huge pulling force from an unknown source——suddenly appeared at his feet, like a menacing black vortex, directly connecting to Chaldea, which should have been extremely hidden, from another distant space!
"Hey! Where did this disgusting mud come from?"
Joan of Arc was shocked, and rushed over almost subconsciously, grabbing Airlie's arm.
"It's the call of the Holy Grail... No, how could it be—"
In an instant, the rest of Ellie's voice disappeared.
Not only he who was tightly entangled, but also Miss Joan of Arc who was holding him, the "vortex" swallowed them silently, leaving only thick ripples of magic power in place.
……
……
Jerusalem.
After being destroyed and rebuilt many times, it has been preserved to modern times, and it is still an ancient city that is a holy place of religion.
Of course, the city is also a center of attention for tourism around the world.Every day, tourists from all over the place would flock to the city center, which does not occupy a large area. Among them, there would naturally be devout believers who came here to pursue their beliefs.
The young man in priestly uniform also came to Jerusalem, but not for the above reasons.
"The 'Caster' that was purposely left unoccupied, for some personal reasons, it's better for me to summon it myself."
Before coming here, he explained this to the servants who are currently his allies, and exchanged a smile for the empress' frown and a thoughtful look.
"Personal reasons... What kind of 'personal reasons' can make you go to Jerusalem in person? Forget it, at least you're in a better mood, so go with ease."
The boy showed a little surprise: "Assassin...was I in a bad mood before?"
"Well, actually, it doesn't look like the anxiety that will appear on you at all."
Anyway, that's it, he arrived in Jerusalem as scheduled, and on the first night here, he put into practice the preparations he had made before.
Indeed, as a certain Ms. Assassin said, summoning Heroic Spirits, or the caster class that is not particularly important in the Holy Grail War, there is no need to go all the way to Jerusalem.
As long as there is a holy relic that is sure to be able to summon that heroic spirit, it is almost inseparable.
But the boy is always thoughtful and will make the plan perfect.
He didn't allow any uncertain factors that might prevent him from seeing that heroic spirit, so the trip to Jerusalem was very necessary.
Because the connection between that heroic spirit and Jerusalem completely surpassed the holy relic he held in his hand.
After drawing the summoning array, it's time to place the "Holy Relic".
After taking off the cross earrings that had been hanging on the earlobe instead of the original ones since then, he bent down and gently put the cross into the summoning circle.
"Caster..."
"Airlie."
Before reciting the mantra, the boy seemed to whisper a title.
The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and his white hair became dim in the darker night, but his golden eyes seemed to be shining with a strange look.
"Heed my call."
Speaking of which... is it to the point of being anxious? Assassin is too exaggerated.The young man thought helplessly.
No, he wouldn't be so impatient, after all, the parting with that heroic spirit still seemed like what happened yesterday.
And the reunion is today.
"Mine, master."
"This time, please come to me as my servant."
The man's movements were so flustered that he lost his composure, but the hands that wrapped the other man's wound layer by layer with gauze did not tremble in the slightest.
Only he can do such contradictory things.
Combining the professionalism that comes with being a medical staff with the nervousness that is almost frightened to break a big hole in the heart, on the contrary, it can be more calm, responsive and quick to deal with emergencies...

Roman's voice couldn't hide his low voice, as if he fell into memory for a moment.However, when he withdrew from the memories, the corners of his mouth slowly evoked an impure smile.
"No, I'm not angry with you...Impossible, no matter when or what happens, it's impossible to be angry with you."
"I'm just angry at myself for dragging on for so long before hesitating to decide to 'forward', and because I'm still so weak."
Romani Akiman is indeed a hopeless man.
Now he himself can deeply realize and understand why Da Vinci dislikes the hesitant him so much.
Silently, the fist clenched even tighter, as if what was clenched was not the ring, but the extremely weak heart that pretended to be hard.
His heart was indeed aching.
It is the dull pain caused by the blunt blade that grinds away the flesh little by little, rather than the intense feeling of cutting that can be felt in a flash.
"There is nothing I can't tell you." It was almost a word-by-word pause, wanting to pour out all the sorrow and contradictory happiness that was surging in the chest: "Yes, there are only us here..."
"Great."
"I have a lot to say, all of which I want to tell you."
Unlike the man's complicated wry smile, Ellie really smiled happily.
"Okay, then choose what you want to say most now, and tell me first."
At this moment, what I want to say most——
Ah, that is "that sentence", without hesitation, there is no extra choice.
"..."
"—I miss you. All the time."
Even if he was asked to say a few more words, he would just keep repeating this sentence.It's like once upon a time, in countless days and nights, I put the thoughts of my lover between my teeth and chewed repeatedly.
"I want to see you."
"Really, really really really—really want to see you."
I don't know when the breathing begins to interweave.
There seemed to be an aura with a temperature that could make the skin hot. It swept across the nose like a veil, and some aftertaste fell between the lips that could not help but open.
When Roman suddenly realized that something was wrong, and suddenly came back to his senses, he realized that he was actually instigated by the emotion that can make a weak person brave and impulsive at once—bending down, holding Ellie shoulders, and the angle of descent of the body is still decreasing.
It was so sudden, unknowingly...
Airlie's bright blue eyes seemed to be close to his eyes, and he could clearly see the starlight he was looking for, as well as himself.
Closer are the ends of their noses, and the corners of their mouths where the breath comes together.
Roman also found that he even tilted his head slightly in a trance, and staggered the nose tips that were about to collide.By doing so, his lips can fall unhindered, and the red lips of another person who is close at hand, only separated by a paper-thin gap.
"..."
For a moment, he suddenly thought of a very small thing he did a long time ago - with the identity he had abandoned.
King Solomon fell in love at first sight with a beautiful and pure young man who strayed into the palace.
Regardless of opposition, he planned an extremely luxurious wedding for the queen he recognized at a glance, and correspondingly, it inevitably took a long time.
During the preparation period, the young man living in the palace contracted an unidentifiable disease for unknown reasons, and became weak on the day of the wedding.
But, even so, that night, the queen sat by the bed and watched the king in wedding clothes walking towards her.
Solomon remembered what the queen looked like then.
Roman still remembered the way Airlie looked at him.
Even the postures were exactly the same as now—one was sitting while the other stopped in front of him, leaning over to kiss him.
The only difference is...
There was no soft, bright light in the eyes of the queen looking at the king as it is now.
—He has indeed changed.
——In the later years that I didn't know and couldn't participate in, someone other than Solomon guided out the light hidden in the pure soul, so that he, who could only pursue external light sources, could also bloom.
Roman is considering whether he wants to add another difference to the difference between the present and the past.
The old Solomon didn't realize what the queen's gaze represented, or, if he did, didn't care.
He kissed him and slowly laid him down on the bed covered with soft petals.
Although due to the queen's health, he just kissed and did nothing else, Solomon's attitude towards his queen was reasonable and without any doubts.
The current Roman was able to realize, and was even lucky enough to discover the difference, but his hesitation was unavoidable.
If he does this, it means that he will really cross the "boundary" he drew for himself for the second time, and he will not be able to stay at the level of "as long as he can see him and touch him".
Why didn't I realize that he was so greedy before?
Do you want to cross over?
This step is the paper-thin distance, which can be easily crossed in reality.
Do you want to step over?
Now, is he qualified to step over without hesitation and face the possible consequences?
The answer... actually appeared in my heart a long time ago.
He is willing to-
"Chirp."
A breath so soft that it was almost inaudible, appeared between the lips that touched together.
Ellie sat blankly for so long, without waiting for Roman to make any next move.
The man's rapid breathing sprayed all over his face, making him feel very itchy, but for some reason, he always felt that he couldn't move, and probably couldn't speak—
Then you can only figure out the meaning of the man's action.
Airlie thought about it for a while, as if he had understood it, and suddenly realized it.
He leaned forward a little, taking the initiative to fill in the distance that was too small to be seen.
Because the strength of the kiss was not well controlled, the noise of "chirp—" was still heard, but the flaws were not concealed.
However... I don't know if it's Ellie's failure to guess the intention, or Roman's own problem.
All in all, Roman still didn't respond.
"Well, what's the matter?"
Just when Ellie asked in such a puzzled manner, the reaction came.
Roman: "..."
He didn't say a word, but when he closed his eyes, the older innocent virgin who had degraded his receptivity after becoming a human being smoked from his head and fainted blissfully with nosebleeds.
Airlie: "..."
Airlie: "What's going on?! So——Dr. Roman! Take heart!"
Countless healing magics were used to wake up the man with a peaceful face as if his soul had already ascended to heaven. Ellie actually discovered that Roman's body had no other problems except excessive fatigue, so... Could it be that he Passed out from exhaustion? !
Airlie, who had never seen such a fainting method, was really surprised.
"...Okay, I won't bother you anymore, you can just sleep here."
Facing the man who was moved to the bed and put on the quilt, Ellie whispered to him who was unable to respond, and then he noticed that someone—a heroic spirit was approaching the infirmary.
Sure enough, it took a while.
Miss Joan of Arc pushed open the door of the infirmary, glanced inside, and when she saw Ellie who was standing and looking at her and Roman who fainted peacefully, an expression of disgust appeared on her face again.
"What are you doing? If I remember correctly, the one lying down is the doctor."
Airlie said, "That's right, but the doctor fainted from fatigue... Is Miss Black Joan here to see a doctor?"
Miss Black Joan: "Oh, just kidding! How could I be sick!"
"That is……"
Ellie was just about to ask her if she wanted to see Dr. Roman for anything, but suddenly, his expression changed and his body froze suddenly.
The magic rioted.
A huge pulling force from an unknown source——suddenly appeared at his feet, like a menacing black vortex, directly connecting to Chaldea, which should have been extremely hidden, from another distant space!
"Hey! Where did this disgusting mud come from?"
Joan of Arc was shocked, and rushed over almost subconsciously, grabbing Airlie's arm.
"It's the call of the Holy Grail... No, how could it be—"
In an instant, the rest of Ellie's voice disappeared.
Not only he who was tightly entangled, but also Miss Joan of Arc who was holding him, the "vortex" swallowed them silently, leaving only thick ripples of magic power in place.
……
……
Jerusalem.
After being destroyed and rebuilt many times, it has been preserved to modern times, and it is still an ancient city that is a holy place of religion.
Of course, the city is also a center of attention for tourism around the world.Every day, tourists from all over the place would flock to the city center, which does not occupy a large area. Among them, there would naturally be devout believers who came here to pursue their beliefs.
The young man in priestly uniform also came to Jerusalem, but not for the above reasons.
"The 'Caster' that was purposely left unoccupied, for some personal reasons, it's better for me to summon it myself."
Before coming here, he explained this to the servants who are currently his allies, and exchanged a smile for the empress' frown and a thoughtful look.
"Personal reasons... What kind of 'personal reasons' can make you go to Jerusalem in person? Forget it, at least you're in a better mood, so go with ease."
The boy showed a little surprise: "Assassin...was I in a bad mood before?"
"Well, actually, it doesn't look like the anxiety that will appear on you at all."
Anyway, that's it, he arrived in Jerusalem as scheduled, and on the first night here, he put into practice the preparations he had made before.
Indeed, as a certain Ms. Assassin said, summoning Heroic Spirits, or the caster class that is not particularly important in the Holy Grail War, there is no need to go all the way to Jerusalem.
As long as there is a holy relic that is sure to be able to summon that heroic spirit, it is almost inseparable.
But the boy is always thoughtful and will make the plan perfect.
He didn't allow any uncertain factors that might prevent him from seeing that heroic spirit, so the trip to Jerusalem was very necessary.
Because the connection between that heroic spirit and Jerusalem completely surpassed the holy relic he held in his hand.
After drawing the summoning array, it's time to place the "Holy Relic".
After taking off the cross earrings that had been hanging on the earlobe instead of the original ones since then, he bent down and gently put the cross into the summoning circle.
"Caster..."
"Airlie."
Before reciting the mantra, the boy seemed to whisper a title.
The moonlight was blocked by dark clouds, and his white hair became dim in the darker night, but his golden eyes seemed to be shining with a strange look.
"Heed my call."
Speaking of which... is it to the point of being anxious? Assassin is too exaggerated.The young man thought helplessly.
No, he wouldn't be so impatient, after all, the parting with that heroic spirit still seemed like what happened yesterday.
And the reunion is today.
"Mine, master."
"This time, please come to me as my servant."
