[FATEFGO] Master's Note

The ending was clear, the show was over, Shen Muxiao yawned, got up and patted the dust off his clothes, and was about to go back to the tent for a good night's sleep.

On the outskirts of the station, she met Roja.He was walking around with a torch.

Shen Muxiao walked over and greeted him.

"Is it your turn to watch tonight?"

Roja nodded: "I just need to keep watch until midnight."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you go back to rest now. Heroic spirits are guarding you. If there is danger, they will find it immediately. You should hurry up and rest for a while. After all, if you want to attack all the way to Richmond, your strength must be Indispensable."

Roja laughed and laughed at himself: "I'm just a nobody, anyone can replace me, if you say such nice things again, I might really believe it!"

Shenmu Xiao didn't know how other people viewed Roja, but at least in her heart, Roja was definitely not as dispensable as he described in his words.

Perhaps because he received a good education in his early years, or because he was born with such a talent, Roja's vision is unusually broad, and he can always consider longer-term aspects in combat meetings.In addition, his logical thinking is also extremely clear, and his precise judgment that is difficult to be disturbed by foreign objects is also a "weapon" that cannot be underestimated in him.

If he had not been born into a slave-holding aristocratic family in the South, he might have achieved greater achievements.

However, what Roja is doing now is not something that anyone can match, Shen Muxiao has always felt so.It is precisely because of this that she even felt a little annoyed when she heard Roja say such humble words.

"But you are indeed a great..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Roja's voice.

"Hey, I'm just an ordinary person. What I do, any person with a sound mind and normal values ​​and morals would do it. I just did it a little longer." He waved his hand indifferently. He waved his hand, "Aren't you amazing? You start saving the world at such a young age, you look like a hero! Is it because you stick to the justice in your heart that you embark on this path?"

Akatsuki Shenmu felt a little ashamed after hearing Roja's words.When she was young and ignorant, she did often clamor to become a superhero to save the world, but this kind of dream, which was so simple and almost naive, was swept away by the frenzy long ago.

The original purpose of joining Chaldea was not because of the revival of childhood dreams, nor was it because of interest in magic. It was just because of the high salary that Chaldea offered that he joined the team of saving humanity, that’s all. .

In fact, it is also a simple to the extreme reason.

But it's not a reason to tell others out loud.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Roja subconsciously looked down at her.Noticing her slightly evasive eyes, Roja vaguely guessed something in her mind—although it was only a vague frame.

"Speaking of which, can I ask you something, Shenmu?" He suddenly changed the topic.

"No problem." Feeling that she answered too hastily, she added a little unconfidently,

, "Well...if I can do it."

Roja was amused by her.He patted her shoulder and put his hand on her shoulder lightly.

"If you die on the battlefield, please divide my ashes into two parts and give one to my wife. Please give the other to my parents in Virginia. I have not fulfilled my son's Filial piety, I haven't been back for many years, at least let them take another look at me in the end."

His tone remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, as if he was chatting with Shenmu Xiao about a very common topic, so that Shenmu Xiao almost thought he was joking.

She rolled Roja's words back and forth several times in her mind, but she still didn't believe that Roja would say such a thing.

Shenmuxiao panicked for no reason, but she forced herself to calm down.She laughed dryly a few times, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Mr. Roya, don't say such cold jokes!"

"This is not a cold joke. Shenmu, I'm not joking."

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Shen Muxiao always felt that his voice was tinged with a little desolation.

"When I left Katina and headed south with the troops, I had a vague feeling of strangeness. When I got to Gettysburg, the feeling was even stronger."

"...What kind of feeling is it?" Shen Muxiao asked in a low voice.

"It seems that there are dangers lurking everywhere, and the darkness is about to approach. I often feel restless, and there seems to be an indescribable strange feeling all over my body. In short, I have a bad premonition—— I probably won't be able to go back north."

Roja's answer made Shenmuxiao heave a sigh of relief, she patted the back of Roja's hand lightly, and comforted: "Maybe it's because you are too nervous that you feel this way. Or you should be early some rest?"

"maybe."

Roja shrugged, with a look of indifference, as if he wasn't the one who mentioned that heavy topic earlier.

But at least what is certain is that Roja has escaped from the unreasonable premonition of the future, and Akatsuki Shenmu is relieved.

It took only two and a half days from reaching the border of Gettysburg to completely recovering the city, and even force was rarely used.

This is nothing more than normal.Gettysburg had not been captured by the Southern Army for a long time, and the so-called rebellious sentiment in people's hearts had not been wiped out by the Southern Army's power politics. Now that the "original owner" the Northern Federal Government once again seized control of the entire city, they will It is even more impossible to resist.

But Gettysburg is just a small transit point. If they want to attack all the way to Richmond, there are still many battles waiting for them.

The further south you go, the more dry and hot the climate here feels. Even Roja, who often travels between the north and the south, complains from time to time that the weather is very different from usual.

"I don't know if it's my illusion. I always feel that every time I come to the north, the weather will be much hotter." Roja wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted heavily.

El-Melloi II conjectured that the weird climate change might be caused by some abnormal situation, but he did not find any real phenomenon and conclusive evidence, so this conjecture was put aside.

In order to maintain the unity of the team's image, except for Gilgamesh, the Earl, and Joan of Arc who concealed their figures with spirit bodies, Shenmu Akatsuki and Martin all changed into the uniforms of the Federation Army.The cotton and linen fabric is extremely rough and airtight. When wet with sweat, it will stick to the skin, as if covering the torso, causing people to suffer.

But fortunately, Shenmu Xiao and Martin didn't carry any luggage, so they only needed to carry a rifle/gun, and they didn't have to travel across mountains and rivers carrying more than 20 kilograms of luggage like other soldiers.

However, a single rifle/gun weighs about [-] kilograms, and it is not easy to carry the gun forward.

"How long will it take us to go to Virginia? From the map, Virginia and Pennsylvania are only separated by Denver. How come we haven't left Pennsylvania after walking for five days?" Shenmu Xiao frowned bitterly. Xidi asked Martin, "To be honest, I'm almost exhausted..."

"You have to combine the map with the entire land area of ​​the United States to imagine, and you will know that this is a long distance. If you just look at the picture, of course you will feel that it is close."

Martin laughed at her.He shifted position and carried the gun over his shoulder.Even he was a little sore.

"But don't worry, at the current speed, you can leave Pennsylvania in at most two days."

His words did not inspire Shenmu Akatsuki.

"It would be a lot easier without this gun."

Shenmu Xiao had thought more than once of quietly throwing this bulky rifle/gun into a small corner where no one would find it and hiding it secretly. She would find it after the war was over and everything was settled, and return it to the battalion commander herself. By the way, she attached her sincere letter. an apology.

The commander of the Eighth Battalion she was in was an extremely strict man.He firmly believes that the rifle/gun is life, and requires his soldiers to carry this most precious property with him at all times, and it is absolutely impossible to allow the first thing to be lost.

But when she thought of the always gloomy face of the Battalion Commander, and the ferocious expression when she was angry, she chose to silently put out this thought.

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she thought of an excellent idea, which could not only allow her to move forward easily, but also prevent the battalion commander from discovering the fact that she didn't have a gun in her hand when necessary.

She snickered, and whispered in her heart: "Jill, I have a gracious request."

Regarding her question, Gilgamesh was noncommittal and just snorted meaningfully.

Shen Muxiao put on a cute look, and continued to say very attentively: "I heard that almost all the weapons in the world are stored in the King's Treasure. Is your Dharma Eye in your treasury?"

Keeping the rifle/gun in the King's Treasure can not only reduce Shenmu Xiao's burden, but also can be taken out in time when necessary. There is almost no possibility of the battalion commander discovering the disappearance of the gun/gun.

The more Shenmu Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was a genius.

"No."

Gilgamesh subconsciously refused, almost without thinking.

Disappointment surged into his heart instantly, Shen Muxiao's whole body was wilted, and he returned to his previous miserable appearance.But when she saw the slightly steep mountain under her feet, she decided to struggle to the death.

First of all, it is necessary to find out why Gilgamesh refused.

"I'm not interested in such crudely made old rifles/guns. If I store it in the treasury, wouldn't I be telling others that I'm a waste that has lost basic judgment?"

At the end of the speech, he subconsciously raised his voice, as if he was a little annoyed.

His reasons were well-founded, but it made Shenmu Xiao feel a little guilty.She defended her laziness without confidence and whispered: "Isn't it interesting to always have something different? As long as it is unique enough, no matter how bad it is, it is already in line with the true meaning of collection."

However, it is a little too arrogant to say such a thing in front of Gilgamesh, a great collector.Fearing that he would think of something not so good, Shenmu Xiao hurriedly added "at least I think so" at the end, making his own words sound somewhat softer.

Gilgamesh muttered for a moment.

Shen Muxiao was a little nervous.Could it be that the dull words she just said can really convince Gilgamesh?No no no, impossible.Shen Muxiao believed that she did not have such ability.

He squinted at Shen Muxiao, chuckled lightly, and finally spoke.

"No matter how eloquent you are, this king will never have the slightest thought of including this thing in the king's treasure."

Shen Muxiao was not disappointed by the expected answer.

"But..." He spread his hands and continued in a helpless tone, "This king is still very happy to take you into the treasure house. After all, your words, your thoughts, and everything about you are unique in the world. One copy cannot be copied, and no substitute can be found. This king wants to keep it in his pocket and play with it.

"—Of course, your stupidity is unique in this world."

After all, he laughed wildly at his own words.

Shenmuxiao's expression didn't change at all, she even laughed a few times along with Gilgamesh.

It's just that her laughter sounded a little cold.

"Miss Joan of Arc, please smash the head of this shining gentleman over here immediately!"

The author has something to say:

Erbao Xiaoan = Marry Wang Liangtou

I won’t be able to marry the king this year [despair in the eyes]
