The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

“Crack.”

The sound of the lock opening came.

“Ryū? How do you have the key to my room?”

Lyu was very surprised.

“Borrowed it from Mama Mia.”

Syr said, "You broke the tavern's record for 'most plates broken at once' today. Mama Mia is very angry and sent me here to catch you."

Syr's somewhat round little face was very serious: "Suspect Lyu Lion, you are under arrest, surrender immediately!"

Looking at Syr's cute appearance, Lyu couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Her mood eased a lot.

Syr smiled, she sat on the elf girl's bed: "What are you troubled about, Lyu."

“Syr…”

Lyu blushed: "I don't know how to face Shirou…"

“Immediately rush up, confess, date, and then get married.”

Syr shouted in her heart: "You two, hurry up and get together!"

However, even though her heart was very anxious, Syr still maintained a gentle smile, and the thoughts in her heart were not really spoken.

“Wouldn't it be good to be like before?”

Syr comforted Lyu.

“Really can it be like before…”

Lyu lowered her head, trying her best to hide her crimson pretty face and swaying eyes.

Syr covered her chest.

Lyu: "What's wrong, Syr."

Syr took a deep breath: "The current Lyu is too cute…"

“Syr, don't tease me…”

Lyu blushed, she hugged her knees with both hands and said in a low voice: "I don't want to trouble Shirou…"

In Lyu's view, Wei Gong's actions were all to save the people in desperate situations, and everything he did was out of righteous actions from the heart. Everyone was able to survive because of Shirou's courage and awareness.

And now, regarding Wei Gong's "justice" of standing up, she actually had inappropriate reactions and thoughts because of this. Lyu felt that such herself was very bad.

Lyu, who has a strong sense of morality and honor, believes that the reputation of the noble Sylvan family has been tarnished because of herself.

In addition to this, the idea that "I was saved by Shirou" also made Lyu feel a strong sense of unease.

After the revenge against the Dark Faction was over, Lyu's original plan was to die. It was the existence of Wei Gong and Syr that supported her broken heart and became the reason for Lyu to live.

Lyu believed that Shirou could become the "justice" successor of the Astraea Familia, and the only thing she, who was no longer worthy of bearing the name of "justice", could do was to use her remaining strength to protect the temporarily weak boy.

However, she, this useless waste elf, failed to do this as well.

She could neither kill the Black Goliath alone, nor could she defeat Aletheia who had leveled up to Lv.5.

“I can't do anything…”

Looking at Lyu, who was shrinking into a ball and becoming more and more depressed, Syr sighed helplessly.

As expected of the Elven race, in the field of sulking and going into a dead end, no race can compare with the Elven race.

“Knock knock…”

The door to the room was knocked.

“Lyu, are you okay.”

Because the escaped Lyu had not appeared, Wei Gong, who was really worried, came to find her.

“Shirou?!”

Lyu panicked, but there was no place to hide in this room.

So Syr saw Lyu lift the quilt and bury her head in it.

But her butt didn't hide in time, but instead was sticking out high.

“An ostrich?”

Syr held back her laughter, got up and opened the door for Wei Gong.

Wei Gong: "Syr, long time no see."

“Shirou, it's really great to see you're okay.”

The silver-haired girl put her hands together in front of her chest, she smiled sweetly because of the joy from the bottom of her heart.

However, immediately, Syr changed the subject—

“I still have work to do, I'll leave Lyu to you.”

Syr said decisively, she quickly walked behind the boy and pushed Wei Gong into the room.

Because the girl's movements were too coherent, Wei Gong didn't have time to object, and was already pushed in.

Syr closed the door from the outside, and then she took out a long iron chain from under her skirt and locked the door.

“Done!”

The silver-haired girl put her hands on her hips and nodded with satisfaction.

Chapter 61: A Letter to the Goddess Astraea.

“Lyu.”

Wei Gong called the elf girl's name.

“Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me…”

Lyu hid her head in the quilt, pretending to be an ostrich, futilely escaping.

Wei Gong tried again, he called Lyu several times, but the elf girl didn't respond at all. She hugged her head tightly, with only a small butt shaking outside.

Wei Gong felt helpless for a while towards the elf girl hiding in the wall of her heart.

“Elves are a group of stubborn and awkward guys, it's impossible to reason with them.”

Wei Gong thought of the dwarf Mia's evaluation of elves.

The heroic and rough dwarves and the elegant and proud elves are completely different extremes in their style of doing things, so they often can't stand each other.

In a sense, the views of these two races, who are "enemies for life," may be the most accurate.

In Mia's mouth, elves are a group of "troublesome good people."

Generally speaking, elves often have a sense of morality above the average level. They are considered to be symbols of "purity" and "uprightness."

Even the dwarf Mia admits that as "comrades in arms," elves are mostly trustworthy.

“But, interacting with elves in daily life is really a troublesome thing.”

Mia said so.

Stubborn, persistent, proud, going into a dead end, not listening to people… These are also the evaluations that elves often receive.

In this regard, if Lefiya is an elf who doesn't look like an elf, Lyu is an elf among elves.

Her stubbornness is something that even the well-informed Mia feels troubled by.

However, Mia, who has experienced great storms, has already mastered the trick to deal with elves, and she selflessly taught this secret technique summed up from life experience to Wei Gong.

The correct way to deal with elves is—to be tough.

“It's useless to reason with a stubborn elf, their brains, which are more stubborn than orichalcum, can't listen to what others say.”

Mia told Wei Gong her method while clenching her fists and showing a villainous expression.

“The only feasible way to deal with them is 'toughness'. The more you reason with them, the less they will listen, but if you start 'being unreasonable', they will obediently listen.”

“The softer you are, the harder they become, and the tougher you are, the weaker they become. Elves are such a race!”

Seriously recalling the truth taught by Mia, Wei Gong took a deep breath.

“Sorry, Lyu.”

He whispered to the elf girl in his heart.

Wei Gong's right hand naturally drooped down, from the shoulder to the fingertips, all the bones, muscles, and joints were completely relaxed.

He closed his eyes and imagined his arm becoming softer and softer, transforming into a clear stream.

The right hand swung, the target, Lyu's… back.

Pa—

“Ouch!”

Lyu covered her back and jumped up from the bed.

The elf girl's pretty face was flushed, and she stammered: "Shirou, you, you, you…"

The situation finally made some progress, at least Lyu admitted the existence of the other party, and could no longer pretend to be an ostrich.

Lyu put her hands behind her, her slightly reddish eyes looked at Wei Gong, with three parts grievance, three parts surprise, three parts fear, and one part expectation.

Wei Gong took the opportunity of Lyu's panic and stepped forward.

He grabbed the girl's hands from both sides and squeezed them tightly.

“Ah ah ah——” Feeling the temperature of the boy's body, Lyu lost her strength for a moment.

“Lyu, look at me properly.”

Wei Gong said seriously.

“Yes, yes…”

“Lyu, you are very important to me.”

“Yes…”

“I am very grateful to you, and I regard you as an admired role model.”

“Yes…”

“Because of Lyu, I was saved.”

“Yes…”

In the small room, Wei Gong looked into the elf girl's eyes and said seriously, sentence by sentence.

Lyu felt that she could not bear the boy's sincere gaze. She tried to escape, but she couldn't break free at all.

The only way Lyu could resist was to push Wei Gong away with her powerful force, but she couldn't do such a thing as "pushing Shirou away."

The hot temperature passed from the other party's fingers to her sensitive fingertips. Lyu's body softened, unable to resist, and could only unconditionally agree with everything the boy said.

“Lyu, I hope you can be happy.”

Wei Gong said softly.

Hearing this sentence, Lyu's heart was stabbed.

She struggled to "resist": "I am not qualified to be happy…"

Wei Gong opened his mouth, then closed it again. He wanted to tell Lyu: everything she did was right, she should untie her knot, and those sacrificed partners would not want Lyu to continue to struggle in the shadows of the past…

It's just that he realized that comfort is useless.

As Mia said, for stubborn elves, those painless words are meaningless.

Even if it can briefly cheer Lyu up, she will soon begin to deny herself again.

Only "unreasonable", "nitpicking", "reversing right and wrong", and "making trouble out of nothing" are the correct ways to deal with Lyu.
