[Comprehensive] Favorability upup

Artoria is undoubtedly a good child.

From the day I apologized and promised to Qingliu, I have never been late again, and I came here early every day to practice swords and learn magic with Qingliu.Boy Kai would sometimes come with her, practice swords with Artoria, and stare at Qingliu thoughtfully.

Qingliu was expressionless.

The world's attitude towards magic is unknown. Artoria doesn't care about learning magic, but she won't reveal anything about magic when Kai boy comes together.Qingliu thought that there might still be some problems, so she cooperated solemnly and taught Artoria some literature content when Kai came.

The sun is shining warmly on the earth, the grass leaves are emitting a fragrance, the girl wields the wooden sword meticulously under the guidance of her elder brother, the wooden sword splits in the air and makes the sound of 'hoo hoo', sweat overflows from the girl's forehead, delicate The expression on his face was straight and serious, and there was no smile at all.

Standing in the shadow of the high tower, gnawing on an apple, Qingliu looked at the bright and warm sun in the sky, and felt that it was not a good time to practice swords at this time.You should find a lake to row a boat, find a big tree to have a picnic in the shade or something.

I did it when I thought about it.

After eating the remaining apples in a few bites, Qingliu waited patiently for a while, and when Arturia and Kai stopped to rest, she slipped over to help the girl wipe off her sweat.

"It's rare that the weather is so good, shall we have a picnic?"

She always remembers her personality, and her questions are also somewhat irrefutable and cold.Qingliu felt that when she returned from this era, she could give herself a statuette.

"..."

Artoria looked up at her, and then turned to look at Kai. Although her face was still tense, there were flashes of lively expectation in her eyes.Boy Kai looked back at her blankly, tightened his face even more seriously, then turned his wrist, and slammed the wooden sword in his hand into the ground.

"……where to?"

First of all, I want to explain that this is a remote suburb. Anyway, Qing Liu usually lives here, and there are no humans.In this ancient era, there were not many interesting entertainments. At night, there is no difference between the quietness in the city and the wild. When Artoria is not in the tower, what Qingliu can do is to explore the surrounding environment. .

Starting from the position of the tower, not far away, through the woods, there is a lake, which is a little hidden.Under Kai's gaze of "how on earth did you get here", Qingliu excitedly pulled Artoria to the lake, found a flat surface and shook the tablecloth out.

It was an impromptu picnic, and the only food that could be eaten was fruit and bread, but Arturia seemed very happy.The clear and calm surface of the lake was wrinkled by the breeze that came from nowhere. The girl was sitting upright, her green eyes reflecting the waves of water, her expression softened a lot involuntarily.

The sun was shining and so was the wind.

Qingliu hugged her knees, put her cheeks on her arms, and looked sideways at the girl sitting beside her. Artoria was talking to Kai, and didn't notice her gaze.

People who are blown by the breeze are very comfortable, and the shadow of the dense canopy in the sun is enough to block them.Qingliu slowly closed her eyes, let go of her thoughts, and couldn't help feeling drowsy.

Her consciousness fluctuates between sobriety and confusion, her field of vision is heavy darkness, but it is like floating light on the surface of the water, the shadows flashing by under the sun, passing by extremely fast, but subtle and clear, what was left.

——This is the last exam.

She was vague and dazed, thinking in a half-dream and half-awake state.Everything, those who once had, what they have now, what they can have, and what they shouldn't have, when the last time is gone, is like fine sand in the fingertips, and can no longer be kept.

...it's time to say goodbye.

The warmth from the sun on his body gradually became a little hot, his fingers flicked unconsciously, like a basin of cold water being poured down mercilessly, Qingliu suddenly opened his closed eyes, sat up straight, and instantly woke up up.

The voice that had been lingering in her ears suddenly stopped, Qingliu turned her head blankly, and met Artoria's green eyes, as if looking into the lake.

"What's wrong?" It was Kay who spoke.

Arturia stretched out her hand and touched her forehead, showing a worried expression.The girl's hands are small and slender, but not soft, with calluses accumulated from sword practice.

"It's okay." Qingliu felt that her face might be a little scary, she held Arturia's hand, calmed down, and replied as calmly as possible, "I had a dream."

Although Qingliu herself felt that her tone was very calm, her tone of voice seemed rather weak to others.His face was pale, his breathing was a little short, and he looked undecided in shock.

"Are you really okay?" Kay asked.

"It's okay." Qingliu replied very firmly, turned his gaze to the other side calmly, and changed the subject by the way, "Who is this?"

It probably appeared when she was asleep. Standing next to Kai and hadn't spoken a word before, the rather gentle and handsome boy smiled at Qingliu and saluted Qingliu, "Hi, I'm Lancelot. "

Where does this name seem to have been heard?

Lancelot...

Qingliu: "...who?"

—Surprised.

Shocked, she stood up from the ground and wanted to take a few steps forward. After deliberating, she chose to stand still. Qingliu opened her mouth and repeated in a daze: "Lancelot?"

Lancelot, Lancelot... King Arthur.

—Merlin!

"Yes." Confused by her reaction, the boy nodded, "Do you know me?"

"……deny……"

It would be a bit false to say that they don't know each other. Qingliu, who had reacted too much just now, laughed twice, and changed his words in the middle of his denial, "... I've heard of it before."

"what?"

Lancelot looked surprised.

This is also inevitable. The knight in the lake who became famous in the story and legend is still a young man now.Although he was raised by the fairies in the lake, he must not have a good reputation outside.

"Um...I heard of it."

The matter has come to this point, and Qingliu can't change her words temporarily again. Adhering to the plan of pretending to be a magic stick if you ask me where I heard it, she nodded very calmly, sat down again calmly, and said calmly: " I've heard your name before."

In the time of two sentences, the previous weak and panicked appearance has disappeared like an illusion.Lancelot hesitated for a while, but still didn't pursue the question, so he just nodded to express his understanding.

Qingliu felt that she didn't sleep for a long time at that time, but the time had already slipped away quickly.According to Artoria, she curled up into a ball and slept so deeply that even a fight between Kay and Lancelot failed to wake her up.

"Did you fight?" Qing Liu, who was tossing an apple around, quickly grasped the point.

"It was just a misunderstanding," Lancelot replied.

Looking away from the young man, Qingliu paused, grabbed the fallen apple and took a bite, feeling a little toothache.

Lancelot.

This name is well-known even in the magic world, one of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, and King Arthur has various relationships with Merlin that he can't explain clearly.

Based on the theory of Lancelot → King Arthur → Merlin → the eternal boss of the magic world, it is understandable that Qingliu's mood is a little complicated for a while.Right.

The advantage is probably that I finally figured out what era this is in.Lancelot looked so young, King Arthur must have been a child too, and the fabled splendor and romance hadn't even begun.

Lancelot... ah.

Even so, when I think about Lancelot and think about it in depth, the first thing that comes to mind is, ahem, the legendary relationship between him, King Arthur and King Arthur...

Of course I forgave him.Well.

I hope Merlin will forgive me for my wild thinking... Qingliu muttered in her heart rather incongruously.

No matter what, Qingliu felt much relieved.

This era, those people who will appear in this era, are inextricably linked to the place where she will stay for several years in the future, and with this connection comes an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Simply put...

Found the organization.

But what does this have to do with Artoria?Qingliu wondered a little strangely, could there be women disguised as men among the Knights of the Round Table?Or is it from Queen Arthur's side...?

While thinking about it, she rubbed Arturia's head casually. No matter how hard she thought, Qingliu couldn't figure it out. Her understanding of the legend of King Arthur was limited to this, and if she went deeper, her eyes would turn black.

After all, it is unlikely to be recorded in the history of magic, and even if it was recorded, she did not listen to the history of magic class at all. 【Confident.jpg】

Regardless of these for the time being, he will always know anyway.

Kai and Lancelot chatted very much. After the two agreed to compete in swordsmanship together next time, they each prepared to go back.After all, it's not too early now.

Walking back with Kai and Artoria, Qingliu looked back at Lancelot.

With a gentle smile on his lips, the young knight standing by the lake nodded slightly to Qingliu.The surface of the lake behind him was as calm as a mirror, rippling in the sun with extremely bright light, and the breeze was blowing, sparkling.
