Traveling in a team of three, because of a small accident, it temporarily became a team of four.

A "kid" named Hotaru joined in. Obviously, he was the companion that Mikazuki Zongjin was looking for.

Artorius was delighted.

That's right, even if he inexplicably put the very girly name "Artoria" on it, it still couldn't cover up his genuinely happy mood.

Not only because the number of companions has increased, the travel has become more lively.

Take the young man's private whispers as an example, that is - he and this new companion speculated for no reason.

The sense of familiarity that arises spontaneously at the beginning of the meeting is only one of the incentives, and there is also the warmth that always fills the heart.

"stare--"

"Stare at—"

The two teenagers, one big and one small, faced each other face to face, looking at each other "affectionately" without any concealment.

What needs to be pointed out is that although the pupils of Artoris and Hotaru are both green, the pupil color of the former is obviously darker than that of Hotaru.

In the pupils there is the heroism and enthusiasm unique to a 15-year-old boy. In contrast, the lighter-colored pupils do not have so many surging emotions.Hotaru looks so young, but it gives the impression that he is much more mature and calm than Artorius.

Another analogy.

Adventures and battles are still indispensable during the travel process. With Hotaru joining—originally, according to the usual thinking, the brave Artorius must be the first to bear the brunt, and the short Hotaru must be protected.

However, don't forget.

Hotaru is a swordsman and a big sword.

It also caused "Warcraft is coming, Artorius rushed up - someone rushed faster than him, who is that - oh, it's Hotaru...wait?! - Hotaru first cleaned up the blood of the Warcraft Situations like this happen all the time.

Probably, this is called "contrast".

When Artoris, who was used to taking the lead, turned his head with a "!!!" expression, a short figure had already held a knife longer than himself, and passed him like lightning.

The shadows of knives flying across the sky were astonishingly bright, shuttled and staggered, and the time was almost the same, and the blood splashed out seemed like flying flowers.

Artorius' expression changed to "=口=": "..."

Right now—well, right now.

A bitter (really fierce, as far as post-mortems go) battle has just ended.

Artoris, who had no chance to intervene at all, and Hotaru, who had a little blood on his hair but still had a dazed expression, looked at each other seriously.

Artorius: "Um..."

Hotaru: "Um..."

Stare, keep staring.

Artorius: "Ahem... Hotaru, it's amazing! However, with such a long knife, won't you feel tired when you use force?"

Hotaru blinked her eyes and pursed her lips. After receiving the boy's sincere praise, she seemed a little shy: "No. Well, because it's me...hehe."

He smiled shyly twice.

It formed a sharper contrast with the brutal performance during the battle.

As a matter of fact, Artorius was already surrounded by murderous people, but he didn't realize it yet.

Grandpa Sanriyue, Teacher Meilin, and the newcomer Yingwan, each has a cruel side that will leave a psychological shadow on the children.

Fortunately, Artorius' heart is strong enough—maybe it's because the red dragon's blood is flowing in his heart?

Alright, let's go back to the topic.

Similar to the joy that Artorius had, Hotaru also had a special fondness for this boy.

He seemed to be hiding some important truth.

However, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

After laughing, Artoris felt a little unfamiliar with the conflict between the inexplicable emotions and the strangeness in reality, but Hotaru turned shy and took the initiative.

The pose of the two of them at this time is very cute.

Hotaru stood on a round stone, and Artorius stopped in front of the stone, so that his eyes could be at the same level.

And now, Hotaru didn't know what to think.

He took a half step back.

This retreat didn't have much impact, it just made him stand on the very top of the rock, standing a centimeter or two higher than before—well, standing a few centimeters higher.

One or two centimeters, almost, is enough.

Counting the hat that was always on top of his head, Hotaru was already taller than Artorius.

"Wait a bit."

Artorius: "Huh?"

The boy didn't know why, and watched suspiciously as the little boy slowly rubbed his slightly smudged palm onto his pants, wiped it vigorously a few times, and then slowly lifted it up.

Lift, lift, lift, slowly lift to the top of the boy's head, slowly press down——

King Arthur's much-admired golden hair was thus touched.

Hotaru: "Artoria is a good girl, Momo."

Artorius: "...!"

He won't comment on whether he's a good girl or not, "Artoria", this...

Uh……

Forget it, forget it!It's just a title.

After a little tangled up, Artorius soon felt relieved.

"Haha, thank you for your compliment! Hotaru!"

When he opened his arms and hugged the white-haired boy, his expression and mood were extremely enthusiastic.

Hugging and hugging, the two teenagers huddled together, blending with the bright sunshine, being affectionate and harmonious.

——Be sure to ignore the background of the river of blood, thank you.

Not far away, under the undisturbed shade of trees, is a special show for smiling elderly people.

Sankai Yuezong was delighted to hear such a harmonious picture.

He also doesn't feel that he's being put aside, that he doesn't need to participate in things, it's good to be able to relax a bit, as long as the old man drinks tea by the side.

Oh, and there's no tea to drink here.

Then look at the excitement (wrong) with a broad and inclusive look.

Sanriyue Zongjin's eyes were really full of tolerance.

Looking at it, I also sighed in line with the status of a parent:

"—Not bad, not bad, though, it's still a long way off."

"—Very good, very good, although, it is still far away."

"..."

"..."

That's right, Sanri Yuezong is not alone here.

Merlin looked in that direction, feeling that he was closely related to Sanri Yuezong again.

Of course, their "far away" must not have the same meaning.

For the sake of such a coincidence, the "old people" also looked at each other.

How should I put it - at least on Merlin's side, a certain knife that he didn't deal with seems to be less insidious and cunning recently (?), but if it is said that the relationship has eased, then he certainly can't admit it.

"First of all, let's confirm that we still have a non-interference relationship that doesn't like each other, right?"

"Hahaha, Your Excellency Merlin, you are really interesting."

"Oh, please don't mind, I said something nonsense. It goes without saying that it has been tacitly agreed..."

"—Speaking of which, Teacher, Grandpa, you two have gotten along much better recently. Haha, I knew that you would become good friends."

Merlin: "...what are you talking about, dear Arthur, I seem to have heard something really terrible."

Hotaru: "Well, have Mikazuki and Meilin really become friends?"

Artorius: "Well, that's what my gut tells me."

"It's great to be friends, like me and Hotaru. Congratulations!!!"

……

"Who is friends with this kind of person? No, I'm not angry or excited. These emotions don't exist...Enough! Don't laugh any more! Mikazuki Zongjin!"
