21.

Is escape your choice?

Xi Jian lowered her head and trembled all over her body.

Want to justify, but found nothing to justify.His mind was still in chaos, but somehow he clearly realized that he seemed to be disappointed in himself.Now even the original flawless appearance has been uncovered in front of him, and all the unbearable inner feelings that he has never realized have been exposed in front of him.

...Why, why don't you give up on me?

Only at this point can't understand him, Xijian doesn't know what Karna is obsessed with, or what kind of thoughts he has.

"I don't need you to give an answer now," Karna said again, "because I also know that this is probably a difficult question to answer. But..."

He thought for a while, raised a hand hesitantly, brushed away the girl's long hair, and met her avoiding eyes.

"You once asked me what my 'wish' is, and now I think I understand a little bit."

The side of the girl's face was still stained with dried blood, and her somewhat empty eyes were still avoiding him. At this time, her appearance was indeed difficult to associate with "beauty". It is a normal reaction to hide away, not to mention that she still has the danger of matching this appearance.She also has such self-knowledge, so she reacted like this.

"See you, if it's my personal wish... I hope you can 'come out'."

He didn't know what happened after he was recalled by the Holy Grail, but in less than a day, it was enough for him to notice her abnormality.

She longs for "light", but has been stubbornly binding herself tightly in the shadows.

When talking with her, Karna noticed her intentionally or unintentionally testing his reaction more than once, and he was always afraid and looking forward to his reaction.Moreover, although she made a normal appearance, she actually lacked self-confidence in her heart, and it could even be said that she deeply hated herself.

He suddenly remembered the words she said after appearing in front of her again in response to her call.

I don't want her to continue to be trapped in sorrow and pain, if only I could do this...

Such thoughts became clearer in his mind little by little.

The reason for responding to her again, the reason why he never gave up waiting, his "wish"...is it just because she is the "Master" he wants to serve?I'm afraid not, her influence on him has gone beyond the category of "Master", and he can't definitely call his current mood as pure "loyalty".

Moreover, his "belonging" has completely belonged to her, and it is precisely because he wants to respond to her sincerity that he appears here.

——Thus, for the first time, Karna had a "wish" that might be said to belong to him.

And he told Xi Jian of his wish.

His "wish"... hoped that she could be freed from the shadow of self-restraint, no matter what misfortune or pain it was, he would share it with her by her side.And no matter what the "real Xijian" looks like in the end, he will admit her again.

...Even if it was her unacknowledged, shameful "self," he would accept it as such.

Not knowing whether she could understand what he wanted to express, Karna's blue eyes showed a rare trace of worry.

"If you give up on me, you won't be surprised... But, but, what's going on now..."

"I believe in you," Karna said, "I have believed that from the beginning."

Believe that she will bloom her own brilliance one day, believe that she is far stronger than she thinks, this is the reason why he admitted her in the first place.

Xi Jian stopped talking, her hair was brushed aside by Karna, and her expression naturally couldn't be hidden.She whimpered and closed her eyes.

The matter of being entrusted with his wish is too heavy...

However, somewhere in my heart seemed to have been severely smashed open, as if the curtains in a dark room were suddenly drawn, and warm sunlight poured in instantly.

Then, at this moment, before she could react, she felt as if something exploded inside her body.

It seemed that a raging fire was ignited from within the body, and all internal organs were burned to the point of melting.Yumi arched her body impatiently, subconsciously trying to grab Karna with both hands, but suddenly changed direction abruptly, and grabbed her collar instead.

Soon, she felt as if her whole body was being thrown into the flames to be roasted. She panted heavily, but in the end she couldn't bear it anymore, and let out a shrill scream.

Karna was also stunned by this sudden change, but Yumi's screams made him react.He grabbed her arm subconsciously to prevent her from hurting himself.However, even through his clothes, he could feel the shocking heat.

"See you in the evening? What's the matter?"

"……it hurts……"

After the burning sensation subsided, the flesh and bones of the whole body were in severe pain as if being reshaped, and the girl could barely utter a scream at this moment.But in Karna's eyes, there was a faint golden light strangely around Yumi's body.At the same time, the black lines on her skin are receding bit by bit, turning into a black-green mist similar to before and flying away from her body, but before flying out of the range of the golden light, the mist has been evaporated up.

He tried to call Xi Jian's name again, but maybe the pain was too strong, or she had no strength, anyway, she didn't respond to him.

Now I'm in trouble...

Embracing Yumi, who seemed to have returned to normal, Karna slowly stood up, and Karna looked around at the surrounding ruins. Too many things happened in such a short period of time, even if they were to be sorted out, it shouldn't be like this place.

When he was about to leave, there was a sudden noise around him.

someone is coming?

Instantly on alert, Karna summoned his weapon.

"Ordinary people have been eliminated?"

"The church is stepping up, let's investigate here first."

"Tsk, the mess of the Holy Grail War has not been cleaned up, and this happened again... Are those monsters whose familiars?"

"I have already submitted an application for 'seal designation' to the association, whoever did it, that idiot has already broken the principle..."

"Then we have to find that guy before the lunatics from the church arrive."

The voices approached a little closer, and what appeared in Karna's field of vision were several magicians.

They wore similar styles of clothing and seemed to belong to the same place.The leading magician was stunned for a second when he saw Karna, and then shouted loudly: "The one on the opposite side—is it a servant?!"

Several people behind him looked over vigilantly when they heard this.

Since there are servants that still exist after the end of the Holy Grail War, there is no doubt that the person behind this incident must be a magus.Although he has such abilities, he stupidly violated the principle of "hiding the mystery". Obviously, this guy is the kind of idiot who has no ability but is not smart.

This, on the contrary, reduces the difficulty for the association to implement the "seal designation".

Speaking of which, all the information obtained about the just-concluded Holy Grail War mentioned the "eighth group" that violated the rules.

The masters of the eighth group seem to hide their identities very well, all that can be determined is that the masters of the eighth group are girls who look like middle school students, who can use abilities similar to inherent barriers, and her servant seems to be a lancer rank.

The leading magician glanced at the servant on the opposite side again.

Due to the dim light, he could only see that the servant was holding a weapon in one hand and a black shadow in the shape of a human in the other hand. The other party didn't move, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

The opposite is very likely to be the "eighth group" at the beginning, and it is also the culprit who caused this incident.

"Who are you?"

In the end, it was the servant over there who spoke coldly.

"We are the magicians sent by the Magic Association to investigate the Holy Grail War," the leading magician put on an air and said, "As for you, the servant who violated the rules, who is your master?"

"...Without the Master's order, I can't answer your questions on my own."

Karna said, frowning slightly.

"However, the Master has nothing to do with you, please go back."

As he spoke, he seemed to ignore these magicians, turned around and left with the person in his arms in his arms.

Even though he rudely ended the conversation unilaterally and left on his own, these magicians still did not dare to act rashly.

There is a gap in strength between humans and servants, as long as the servant is still with his master, it is basically impossible for them to use force to solve the problem.

Now I can only hope that the master is really as clear-headed as they hoped.

"Hey, is the follower ready?" The leading magician turned around and asked.

"It's ready."

"Don't be discovered by that guy, you must find their stronghold."

Karna has indeed returned to the shrine.

Xi Jian didn't seem to be in danger, the strange golden light had already dissipated, and her body temperature had dropped to a normal level. There was nothing abnormal except for her complexion being too pale, she just looked like she was in a deep sleep.After placing her in place, he estimated the amount of recovery of his magic power, and by the way directly stimulated the wound on his shoulder to heal.

He stared at the girl with her eyes closed.

It seemed that although he had sworn to protect Yumi, he always seemed to put her in various dangers.Feeling a little guilty all of a sudden, Karna thought that sometimes, things that could have been avoided threatened her for various reasons, or simply because of his mistakes.

However, she never blamed him for it.Not only that, I never even angered him because of negative emotions.The choices she makes are always attributed to herself first, and she has the greatest tolerance for him.

Just feel lucky?

Indescribable emotion was alive because of her, Karna reached out his hand, but stopped just before touching her.

Why do you feel this way?He wanted to touch her because he cherished it, but he hesitated because he cherished it.I hope that my feelings will be known by her, but I am worried that I will not be able to convey them accurately and be misunderstood.

...What is this feeling?

In the morning, there was a knock on the gate of the shrine.

Subconsciously feeling that the visitor was not kind, Karna carefully closed the door of the room, opened the door, and found that it was indeed yesterday's magician and his party.

They seemed to be formally visiting with smiles on their faces, but Karna could see the hostility and contempt hidden under the kindness at a glance.

"Sorry, Master does not have the intention to receive everyone."

Although the wording is still polite, but the tough tone has already shown his original intention.

"I'm afraid the servant shouldn't interfere with the master's decision. Please ask your master again. After all, we have brought a sincere invitation from the Magic Association."

I hope your master is more sensible.

Seeing the subtext behind the words clearly, Karna's expression also turned cold.This can already be said to be a threat. Although I don't know why these people have inexplicable hostility towards Xi Jian, but since they are enemies... there is no need to back down.

"I've already said that the Master has nothing to do with you, and I don't know what the 'Magic Association' is," he said, "I'm afraid your intentions will fail."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the two sides confronted each other silently.

Suddenly, Karna heard footsteps behind him.

That's the very unique sound of clogs hitting the slate.

He turned his head and found that Xi Jian had woken up, holding on to the door frame with one hand, and combing her loose long hair with the other.

"Don't be so rude to the guests," the girl said softly, with an apologetic smile on her face, "Since I'm here, how can I keep these gentlemen away?"

The author has something to say:

Xi Jian has always had a knot in her heart. If this problem is not resolved, the progress of the relationship will not continue.

Hey, I feel that there is a danger of entering the be line at any time [.

Little Sun's blood directly suppressed her divine nature and lifted her demonic state... After all, it is the blood of the Sun God, and it has the attribute of purifying evil

Also, those people from the Magic Association chose the wrong strategy from the beginning... If they really sent people overnight to rely on force, they might still be able to succeed, but unfortunately they thought it was a stupid decision to play with their minds first. The people she saw the most in 200 years of the Moon Capital were their type... [Dumbledore shakes his head.jpg]
