Artoria the Big Liar

At some point, I sat up in bed.The witch followed closely, looking out the window.

We didn't look at each other, and we didn't speak, we just let the time pass together in this peaceful night.

Tonight must be a sleepless night, and a boring and uninteresting night.

"Arthur... why don't you go for a walk?"

After a long time, the witch made a suggestion.

After thinking about it for a while, I really have nothing to do, so why not go out to relieve my mood.

I nodded to the witch, agreeing to the suggestion.

"Okay. Let's go out then."

After getting dressed, the witch and I took the elevator down the stairs.

It was three o'clock in the morning, and the streets were already empty.Stores are closed and lights in buildings are turned off.

Even the bustling Xindu finally fell silent at this moment, becoming as quiet as the declining Misaki Town.

The sky was very dark, and the power of the street lights was not high. The witch tried to take two photos, but quickly deleted them.

After walking for a long time, the witch and I couldn't find a topic to talk about, and kept silent, just walking like this.

Next to the bench at the bus stop, the witch sat down.Both to rest and to organize thoughts.

"...Arthur," she said, but only by my name.

"I'm here." I responded, but that was all.

"I want to see the sea. I have been in Japan for so long, but I have never seen the ocean."

"The dark clouds are so big, the coast at this time should not be very beautiful, right?" After a pause, I recalled the layout of Fuyuki, and then said: "The coastline of Fuyuki is not good, there is no beach, and there is no corresponding facility. The only place where you can see the sea The only place is the embankment of the pier. But even there, there is nothing to see except the sea.”

"I still want to see...at least, it should be better than Yuanzang Mountain, right?"

According to the principle of the Holy Grail, the souls of the defeated followers will be accepted by the Little Holy Grail and temporarily detained.When all six servants are defeated, the Lesser Holy Grail will be completely liberated, and these souls will be released to the Greater Holy Grail.Because the souls of the servants are connected to the Seat of Heroes, the return of the six souls at the same time will open a hole in the Holy Grail leading to the Seat of Heroes.Following this hole, the magician has the opportunity to reach the root, and then control magic and become a magician.

However, this time there was a very serious problem.The witch devoured Gilgamesh's spiritual core in violation of the rules, which made it impossible for the Little Holy Grail—now Illya—to activate its normal functions.In addition, the witch's way of dealing with the soul is to digest rather than accommodate, which will lead to more problems-although it is not clear yet, it is probably not a good thing.

This restless feeling is like a bug crawling on my body, which keeps me unable to sleep.

I seem to be stuck in a dead end, no matter which road I choose, the road leads to nothing but a dark abyss.

And these words, I can't say it to the witch.Unfortunately, I subconsciously forgot that witches can read minds.

As long as she looked into my eyes, she knew what I was feeling—the restlessness of wanting to do something but not knowing what to do, only to let it happen.

"Arthur, is it too late for us to quit now?" She repeated the old story.

"It's too late. We can't leave Fuyuki now." I replied again. "What's the matter? Didn't you agree to face the future together? Why are you thinking about running away again?"

"I can't help it..." Under the street lamp, the witch's smile was tinged with bitterness. "Thinking about it now, it might as well be the second coming of the spirit foundation! I think, the real dragon witch also likes Arthur? Maybe she will do better than me, at least she will be very determined and firm." Killing people hard, taking revenge very firmly, not like me..."

"Forget what that cyborg said?" I couldn't help interrupting the witch's self-deprecation. "I am the king of eternity recognized by the world, and I will become the lord of mankind sooner or later. Since the world has recognized me, how can I not even allow you to regain your soul?"

"The same thing, Arthur has said it many times, right? But..."

Before the witch finished speaking, I kissed her.Lips exchange temperature, heart and heart exchange thoughts.

After a long time, I finally let go of the witch. I put my arms around her waist and looked at the sky covered by dark clouds with her.

"Jeanne, do you want to kiss forever, stay with me forever?" I asked.

"Of course I want to...how could I not want to?" She replied.

"Then continue? No matter what the result is, if you don't continue, you won't see where it leads."

"But, Arthur already has a complete plan in his heart? Your heart now..."

"My heart is fine now. Much better than when I was King Arthur." I answered firmly, as firmly as ever. "Although I can't see the road ahead, I am happy with you by my side. It was different during King Arthur's time. When I woke up from a dream at night, I always had only myself. Now? Whenever I wake up, there is always I have you."

The witch didn't make a sound, not knowing what was going on in her mind.

Taking a breath, I stood up【-{

The witch followed me without saying a word.She is much better and can keep up with me even if I walk faster.

After walking for about an hour, we came from the center of Shinto to the pier in the south of Miyama Town.

The terminal is almost the same as it was 20 years ago, full of containers.It can't be called prosperous, nor can it be called declining. It's just like this country and this city, it has been stagnant, and it can't find a way to the future.

Standing on the edge of the embankment, the ocean is constantly surging with the tide, rolling up waves from time to time.

The midsummer wind was blowing me and the Witch, and the air was salty with the sea, reminding me of my days in Britain.

"Sure enough, even if there is nothing, the ocean is still fascinating."

There was a rare smile on the witch's face.The gloomy sky and the gloomy ocean fascinated her.

She opened her arms, her short hair and long skirt fluttered in the wind, and the faint light shone on her body, making her smile extremely hazy.

——It would be nice if the weather was fine.

Sure enough, this idea still popped up in my mind.

After thinking about it for a while, after ignoring the rules of the Holy Grail War, it seems that I do have the ability to do so.

"Jeanne, wait for me for a moment—well, just a moment."

"Arthur, what are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, I just want to pick the stars for you."

Instead of the shyness and joy I expected, the witch gave me a blank look.

"...Isn't your love talk too old-fashioned? What are you going to do? Find a meteorite nearby?"

"Wait a minute, you'll understand—"

As I said that, I called out the Black Flame King.

As the witch's power increased, the Black Flame King also evolved into a dragon species.

It is nearly 50 meters long, with a broad chest, knotted muscles, and slender waist, making it look like a lion or tiger.Its wings are unusually broad, with a wing membrane extending to the base of its tail like a flying squirrel.The abdomen is smudged with purple, the whole body is surrounded by black mist, spreading the fear of darkness and the majesty of the king, it is almost like half of my body.

No matter what standard is used to evaluate it, the Black Flame King is already strong enough to be regarded as a "anti-city treasure".At least it was much stronger than Fafnir, barely able to touch the edge of Nid Hogg.

Even though it has been strengthened to this point, the Black Flame King is still connected with me, as long as I have a thought in my heart, it will follow the thought.I jumped lightly, came to the back of the Black Flame King, and drove it to quickly climb to an altitude of 1 meters within 5000 minute—this is exactly the height of the clouds.

Because of the Pact and the Holy Grail, my magic power is so abundant that I can squander it.Therefore, the sword and spear stretched as far as possible and as wide as possible in my hands. Even if I stood on the back of the Black Flame King, I could ride and fight.

Then, I released the real name of the holy sword, and the power in it was completely released.The magic power exploded violently in the air, forming a strong wind, clearing out the dark clouds covering the sky into a clean area, like covering the center of the carpet with the original night sky.

Unfortunately, the light of the city is still too strong.Although it is the season when the moon is hidden, there are only a few stars that can be seen in the sky.And most of them are dark and dull, so it's hard to see if you don't look carefully.

When the Black Flame King came down, the Witch had an unbelievable expression on her face.

"... Arthur, are you out of your mind?" She asked exaggeratedly.

"My brain is normal." I replied calmly.

"No... just to let me see these inconspicuous stars, and release the holy sword?"

"Well. Because this is the most efficient way, it saves time and mana. It's a pity that I don't have the holy gun, which is more efficient. It should be able to clear all this cloud, right?"

After a pause, I looked up at the hole in the sky, feeling a pity in my heart: "It would be nice to be in the countryside far away from the city. The starlight there is very good. Now that the summer has just passed, I can see the Milky Way in the sky - the grassland Even better, as far as the eye can see, there are all bright stars, allowing you to take several photos. It won’t be like it is now, without the value of taking photos.”

"Sure enough, the brain has become abnormal..." The witch said helplessly, "The holy sword is fully opened, just to expel a cloud? I really can't understand it... Isn't this too wasteful? It's better than using gold as a brick." Use it too much."

"I've said it all, I want to give you the stars. It's a pity that there are not many of them, so it's a loss."

As if choking, the witch couldn't say anything.

Instead of looking at the sky, she looked at the distant horizon.For her, the ocean is more valuable to watch.

After a long time, she half-sentimentally and half-jokingly said: "...Why do I feel like I am becoming more and more like a concubine like Baosi? Just because the weather is bad, I let my king use the holy sword to blow up a blank area in the sky , even more than Bao Si?"

"Wouldn't that be great? If I were to play the war with the princes, my excuses would be more reasonable, and the reactions of the princes would be more flat. Don't forget, no matter how glorious and great King Arthur of the King of Knights is, his body As the evil dragon king, I am a cruel tyrant after all. Taking national affairs as a trifle for the people I like, is this the "quality" that a tyrant should have? It's just because I didn't like anyone before, so this quality It just didn't stand out."

The witch gave me a blank look, but didn't say much, her eyes gradually lost.After all, I did achieve this level, throwing away all those principles and ideals.

The sea breeze blows us one after another, and we cuddle up to each other without knowing it.

Despite the silence, despite the gloomy road ahead, I feel very happy now, happier than I have ever been in the past.

The deeper you sink into the dream, the better the dream.I've sunk so deep that there's no possibility of waking up.

However, a sudden voice interrupted this happy moment.

It's the sound from my mobile phone, it's the notification sound of a message.

I turned on the phone in disappointment, and it showed the text message that Mordred had just sent me.

She asked me to go to the ruins of Liudong Temple and wanted to tell me something.What exactly it was, she didn't mention.Whether I reply to this text or not, she will wait there until the sun rises.

To be honest, I was tempted to say no.After separating those things, my affection for Mordred really faded.It was as if she had walked out of my life and severed the previous relationship.

It's just that the witch is too close to me.Although she couldn't read English, she did recognize names—English, like French, uses the Latin alphabet and the text is fully phonetic.

"A text message from Mordred? What's on it?"

I repeated the content of the text message, and the witch walked to the side of the Black Flame King on her own.

"What are you waiting for? Go quickly, and don't make her wait too long."

"Just go back later, there's no need to be so anxious Let her wait, and let me have a minimum mental preparation."

I really want to be with the witch, watching the sun rise from the sea by the embankment.

Unfortunately, reality no longer allows it.We only posted here for a total of 10 minutes, and we had no choice but to ride a dragon to Liudong Temple.

After becoming a true dragon species, the speed of the Black Flame King became even faster.Without using the Wind King Barrier, although there is still a distance from breaking the sound barrier, it has far exceeded the flight speed limit that creatures can achieve, and is comparable to fighter jets in the middle of World War II—the size is here, it is already Pretty amazing speed too.

Chapter 61: Consciousness and Determination ([-] words)

◆Artoria◆

When I rode on the Black Flame King and pointed my sword and gun at Mordred condescendingly, looking at her golden eyes that were shining with tears, my mood was unexpectedly calm, like a frozen lake.

Those things were removed so thoroughly that I really don't have any feelings for Mordred now.

There are only two reasons why she invited me here tonight.

The first is that she has contracted a new servant, Count Berserker Dracula.

The second thing is that Tohsaka Rin wants to tell me that because of the kindness in the past, even if I really want the polluted Holy Grail, they Yusanjia will find a way to cooperate.

but……

"Mordred, do you want me to come to Liudong Temple just to say such nonsense?"

My voice was as indifferent as my heart.

I'm not wearing armor on purpose, so my eyes must be equally indifferent, right?

The aggressive action finally occurred, and Count Dracula pointed his black pistol at me.On the other side of my brilliance, the holy sword in the hand of Saber, who is the King of Knights, is also shining brightly.

Without Mordred's order, the two servants would never do anything, so they just stalemate.

"Father..." she called out, but it sounded very aggrieved, like a whimpering little animal.

"Mordred, I know your wish." Looking down at Mordred, my voice was extremely cold. "Sure enough, you are still so weak. You are neither willing to accept the past nor the future. You have set goals but lack determination. People are in front of you but you can't do anything. Now I can say it——Mordred, you Lack of the size of a king."

I did say it, a line I couldn't say anyway when I was in Kamran.

My heart suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Then, I use to observe Saber.

She didn't have a special expression, and she didn't want to join this topic, she just kept vigilant.

She knew very well that if need be, I would have shot Mordred now, and Mordred had absolutely no determination to resist - in Camlan, I told her to cut my neck and cut off my neck. The head, but she still missed it after all.
