I had to save the world to support my family

For Fu Sangshen who was in Honmaru, only a few hours had passed since the interrogator agreed to purchase supplies.

Even though it is in the gap between time and space, day and night are still switching meticulously as usual relying on the spiritual power provided by the god-inspector.From the perspective of the outside world, it was around three o'clock in the morning, and it was the time when the night was darkest. The silver crescent moon hung on the dome, spreading a light silver glow.

The luxuriant cherry blossom trees in the courtyard were gently brushed by the cool wind, and the steaming crimson clouds fell, quietly stacked on the dark green grass, covered with a layer of cold, powdery silver light.

There are delicate white porcelain teacups placed under the wooden corridor, and a few petals are swirling in the ripples of the residual tea.Even Taidao, who often sits here, has been away for a long time, and went back to his bedroom to rest.

All that echoed in the entire Honmaru was the melodious low sound of the leaves chirping in the night wind, mixed with the almost inaudible breathing of the swordsmen.

The branches and leaves trembled, and a certain petal standing on the calyx got loose and fell down in an arc.

-------------------------------------------------- -

As if hearing some abnormal noise, Hasebe, who was lying on his back on the roof, hesitantly opened his eyes, supported the tiles with one hand, bounced up quickly and silently, and scanned the courtyard carefully under the cover of night.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Sure enough, did you think too much?

After all, if an outsider invades the Honmaru, the God Judge should immediately feel it.If she hadn't warned, there was probably nothing wrong.

Even though he thought so, Da Dao lost the interest to continue squinting on the eaves to rest his mind.The purple eyes lingered in the dark night without focus for a while, Fu Sangshen took a deep breath, jumped down from the high eaves, and landed quietly on the grass in the front yard like a cat.

It's time, do you want to go back to your room and sleep for a while?

A few scattered thoughts flashed through his mind, he held on to the handle of the knife, and looked around him loosely.Suddenly attracted attention by something unusual that had not been discovered just now, Hasebe's eyes were fixed, and he subconsciously leaned towards the main room with the open door.

A cloud of shadows piled up on the wooden table, upon closer inspection, was not the suspicious and dangerous object he had imagined.Exquisitely packaged tea leaves, colorful toys, brand-new kitchen utensils and other odds and ends are piled up on a wooden table in a trembling posture, as if they will fall to the ground in the next second .

Fu Sangshen took a step back holding his breath, and after confirming that his small actions would not cause a series of landslides, he lifted his guard.

These are all the purchased materials that the god judge mentioned to him.But isn't that a lack of funds?when is it...

Anyway, there was nothing to do, Hasebe pursed his lips slightly, and suddenly had the urge to look around that person's bedroom.

"I said before that I would go shopping with me in Wanwu, why did you suddenly change your mind?" No, no, no, this seemed to be full of grievances and questioning, which made him feel uncomfortable; then, "It has been exchanged to Xiaoping Is it? Please don’t force it, we, as swords, don’t have an urgent desire for things outside of us”—well, if you meet her and you haven’t fallen asleep, just say that!

The way from the front hall to the destination had already been walked for more than half, and Fu Sangshen, who had conceived his words, showed an almost imperceptible expression of satisfaction, and his pace quickened a bit.

very close.

It seemed that she hadn't seen the supplies on the table in the front hall before the night arrived. In other words, she might have just returned from shopping, and maybe she just happened to be one step ahead of herself.

It was even closer, only four or five steps away from the wooden door covered with shoji paper, and the girl's slightly rapid breathing could be heard.

He lingered in front of the door, hesitating whether to disturb her or not.It's too quiet at night, I always feel that if the sound is louder, the whole of Honmaru will be awakened... After all, I don't have anything important to say, right?

Shaking his head subconsciously, he retracted his right foot after taking half a step.Just as Hasebe was about to turn around, he suddenly smelled an extremely familiar ominous smell coming out of the crack in the door.

——The smell of blood!

Dai Zi's eyes froze, and he put all those messy worries behind him in an instant, and rushed back to the door with a stride: "Master God Judge?!"

The gasping from the door stopped for a moment.

"...Yes, Hasebe?"

"it's me."

Da Dao suppressed the anxious impulse to break in, and replied in a low voice: "I heard movement in the front hall, so I came to have a look. My lord, you—"

"Is it still disturbing you?" The female voice through the door seemed to be unable to even make it gentle, and the female voice was like a thread of silk, trembling slightly with the sound of breathing, "Really, there is no way... ...Go back to your bedroom, Hasebe, I'm going to rest, sorry."

It was the first time that he received such a blunt rejection from her, and Fu Sangshen was choked silent.The interrogator who was half lying on the bed was pale, and he held his breath for a long time but did not wait for a reply. He thought that he should have left, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the tense spirit was relaxed, the pain in the back became more and more obvious, and it tended to intensify.Novia bit her lip, and rolled back and forth in her nasal cavity with a suppressed painful moan. In the end, it was suppressed by her hard, and turned into a trembling long exhalation.

[Master host QAQ, there is a long wound on the back, from the left shoulder blade to the right waist, the bones can almost be seen!Sure enough, I went to Chaldea to intervene forcibly just after I mastered the illusion, and the strength is still not enough to turn the situation back... TAT I don't mean to be an afterthought, but, but next time, at least be more cautious, right? ! 】

As soon as he turned his head, he felt that the muscles on his back were all tangled up. Novia's right hand holding the bed sheet was clenched tightly, and his brows were furrowed.Giving up on looking back to observe the condition of the wound, she buried her face in the soft pillow, taking the opportunity to wipe away the moisture seeping from the corners of her eyes.

【Well, I was too eager this time... My current strength is still not enough to directly turn the tide of the battle.Don't worry, there is such a lesson, I will remember it slowly. 】

Compared to Beast's class Gaitia, even if her skills have increased, it's only within the range of ordinary humans—in other words, it's a drop in the bucket.

There is still a long way to despair from the huge unattainable wish that she wants to realize.

[That's what I said, but you, the host, will definitely keep trying (ㄒoㄒ)]

Yes, that's right.

Wait until you are more certain...

【you do not understand. 】

Stuffing his right arm under his forehead with difficulty, Novia stubbornly ordered amidst the squeaking protests of the system: [According to the standard of the last mission, help me to see if there is any suitable one in the forum. . 】

The silent exchange came to an end, and she turned all her attention to the hideous wound on her back that needed to be treated urgently.Well, this position is really not easy to deal with... But right now, I can't find anyone for help. Asking the swordsmen for help is probably equivalent to telling them bluntly, "I just sneaked out and ran to a very dangerous place." Their reaction was second to none, but as a god judge, it seems that they can't go to the world without authorization, right?

Forget it, let's deal with it simply.

Novia made up her mind, and stretched out her hand to fumble for the panacea bag tied to her leg.It seems that I used a lot of Baixian essence last time, I don’t know if there is enough left——

"Master God Judge."

I don't know how many times I have buried my thoughts, a heavy call suddenly sounded outside the door, even though it was separated by a door, it still frightened the unsuspecting Novia, it seemed that someone had done something bad and was suddenly discovered Feeling guilty: "—Hasebe? Still, are you still outside?"

"Yes, I am."

Hey, why is this kid suddenly disobedient? !

She racked her brains thinking about how to appease him and what attitude to use to make this person go back to the room to sleep obediently. Before she could get a thread out of the mess in her mind, the deep male voice outside the door had already sounded again.

"I understand...it's only natural for a sword like me not to gain your trust."

It's not rare and precious, and it's not even forged by her, and the time they get along with each other is only a few days.

"So what I'm going to say next will sound ridiculous to you."

Fu Sangshen's voice seemed to be wrapped in the cold air of night mist, which made her tremble subconsciously.Tilting his head hesitantly, he tried to sit up with the strength of his arms: "How come, why do you have to—"

"Please don't speak."

The other party interrupted her with a rather strong attitude: "I can smell it very clearly here, and the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger. Although I don't know how I got hurt, it must be a pretty serious injury, right? So, I don't I have no intention of spending time with you... I just hope to try my best to convince you."

Fu Sangshen paused for a moment.There is no perfunctory comfort or stern stop, so this probably means acquiescing.

The hand hanging by the side couldn't help but clenched a little bit, and the nails were lightly embedded in the flesh.

"You once told me about the assertion about nature. Although, today, I am not qualified to swear allegiance, but——but as you said..."

"As long as it is the Lord's order, no matter what, I will do it for you."

I tried my best, but I couldn't make a sound.The broken fragments that kept appearing in his mind were like icebergs hidden under the sea, the more they were broken and pressed, the more they would emerge, and all his senses began to be blunted.

...Did I do something wrong, shouldn't I come?

Da Dao resisted the timid thought of resigning, and the messy words stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.On the outside and inside of the door, the two breathed very lightly unconsciously, so quiet that they could even hear the crisp sound of moonlight falling to the ground.

All kinds of thoughts flashed quickly in my mind, but in reality it was just a pause in the blink of an eye.It seemed that the wound was already in unbearable pain, and the interrogator's upper limit of self-control was finally broken, and he let out a very low muffled groan.

Hasebe's whole body was shocked, and he forcibly emptied all the inappropriate complicated thoughts, and subconsciously said: "I'm going in."

The judge hesitated for a second, and replied stiffly: "I don't need your care."

"Yes, you always say that."

As if seeing something interesting and absurd, Fu Sangshen even chuckled slightly: "I don't always need us, I always want to take care of us. Sir, do you think this is gentleness or mistrust?"

She didn't answer, so he didn't waste time waiting, and continued to speak smoothly, the sharpness of the words surprised even himself.Well, it seems that these thoughts have been buried in his heart for a long time, right?

"In normal times, the extreme practice of deliberately drawing boundaries and blindly putting yourself in the position of a giver may make you feel self-satisfied, and we always obey you for various reasons. But you You know it too, right? This approach..."

One-sided giving, one-sided acceptance.

It seems warm, but it is sickly and distorted, and it is not the correct way to build bonds.

"Everyone in this pill should have noticed something. Since you refused us to join the battle - please don't rush to justify, I understand that this is a kind of good intentions. You are actually... afraid of losing?"

That's why they treat the contract so cautiously, and then unreasonably over-protect it.He clearly knew it was wrong, but because of fear, because he didn't want to experience that kind of heart-piercing despair again, he did it without hesitation.

He recalled the early morning when Candlestick Che first came, when the girl murmured illogical whispers out of sleepiness, and for the first time frankly revealed her hidden self in front of the swordsmen. "Obligation", "goal", "happiness", although I can't hold on anymore, I still say so, obviously I am also crying, but I still only remember to try my best to comfort others.

When she finally covered her with a thin quilt, her slender brows were still slightly frowned, and there were fine droplets of water hanging on her crow-like eyelashes.

After blowing away the salty taste of tears in his memory, the man still faced each other stubbornly in silence through the wooden door that seemed to never be opened.As if he had nothing to say, Hasebe showed a self-deprecating wry smile in the dark where no one saw, but still refused to leave her and leave.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of." Trying to put down a gentle tone, hoping to touch her a little bit, "It's just human nature not to want to be separated from the person you love. But, feeling this love, I want to have What we give back...why do you keep running away?"

Novia, who is still unwilling to surrender despite the fact that everything is lost, groaned and retorted feebly: "Although you say that, haven't you, Hasebe, always refused to admit me? No, It's so simple—”

Before the word "things" could be uttered, the sword outside the door, which had been vibrating so awkwardly, said in a low voice: "...Master."

"…………what???"

"Owner."

The answer this time seemed much clearer and firmer, and she could almost imagine how the turbulent emotions in those dark purple eyes calmed down.Due to over-surprise, he fell into silence again, and almost wanted to laugh and say, "It's as if I used the situation to force someone into prostitution", but it was too serious, and it seemed that I was sorry for the determination that was full of the title Da Dao.

It's not something that can be perfunctory like before.

"There's no need to force it, Hasebe-kun."

"I do not have."

His tone didn't sound like a lie, although there was obvious bitterness, it was not out of resistance.

"Well, it's not good to be deadlocked all the time. You are indeed my master, and you have been like this since the moment the contract was established. It's my wayward behavior due to the anger of being changed hands before, so I should ask you for it. Forgive me. It's not that I don't recognize you... I just feel that I don't have the qualifications to say that."

Unable to resent the previous master, so resent the incompetent self.The resulting, lingering sense of uncleanliness.

"Even though I know Kitano-sama is not perfect, I did declare that I would only be loyal to her at the beginning. So even if I came to you later, I should have pledged allegiance when we first met, but I still couldn't say it."

"Anyone can swear an oath, and anyone can give loyalty to anyone... There is no meaning in such words. 'My blade exists only for you', if this kind of statement is appealed to two people at the same time, and What's the difference between a flattering lie?"

This boring paradox is the unsolvable barrier that has been entangled in his heart.

As for his own thoughts, it is not so important.

"You think so."

Attention was briefly diverted from the waves of pain in his back, and Novia lowered his eyelashes and sighed in a low voice: "For a sword that values ​​principles, it is indeed a serious issue that cannot be changed. It doesn't matter whether it is correct or not, Zhang Gu Bu-kun, why are you telling me this now?"

Amidst the clear wind blowing the branches and leaves of the cherry blossom trees, the voice of the young man became lower and softer.Due to excessive concentration, there is a swaying trill at the end of the sentence, which seems to convey some kind of longing.

"Because if you keep rejecting me, you won't accept my care. I don't want to disobey you, so if you want to go in and bandage you, you must first be recognized—recognize that I am indeed a contractor that can be entrusted, right? "

As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he hadn't created a trustworthy image just now, Da Dao hastily added: "Please just tell me, I am different from those guys who only have a particularly high style! "

There was almost no room for hesitation, and the helpless interrogator gave a wry smile twice: "It has been said so much, if I refuse again, I will be a devil. But, as you can probably guess, this injury involves some of my forbidden things." My little secret... are you sure you want to come?"

The next second after receiving the hint of concession, Fu Sangshen took a step forward without hesitation, and put his hand on the door: "Please open the door."
