"Savior Lin Xiao, please be ready for the next mission tomorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Lin Xiao and Artoria, who were immersed in training, didn't realize that a long time had passed, and the next mission of the salvation space was about to start again.

On this night, just after eating Artoria's dark cuisine, I received a prompt from the goddess.

"Looks like we're going to have to work hard again. Lin Xiao shrugged, feeling very helpless.

"Well... I don't know why, but there are some expectations. Artoria said with some enthusiasm.

"Ah, you're always motivated, but you have to be cautious. ”

"Caution is a must, and I don't shy away from saying it, in fact, I'm looking forward to helping Lin Xiao. ”。

Lin Xiao waved his hand and smiled: "That's really an honor, but you don't have to look forward to it too much, after all, I'm much stronger than you, so you can rely on me a lot in future tasks." ”

"Well, I know, so I'm going to keep working hard and be someone I can rely on. Saying this, the girl looked at Lin Xiao firmly

"I can understand your determination, Artoria, it's great that you have this idea, I believe in you, we are already companions. Patting the girl's shoulder, Lin Xiao encouraged.

Artoria said resolutely: "Then fight together as a companion who fights side by side, Lin Xiao, you look at it, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations." ”

"Of course, I'm looking forward to... But we shouldn't waste the night before we go, I have a good place to pass the time. ”

Artoria saw Lin Xiao's mysterious appearance and asked curiously, "What kind of place is it?"

"Come with me, then. Saying this, Lin Xiao stretched out her palm to the girl, Artoria hesitated for a moment, and then clumsily stretched out her hand, and the two of them put their hands together.

It seems that there was a picture a long time ago, and the gentle hand that reached out to himself saved the girl who lost herself.

Holding the girl's hand, Lin Xiao led her, slowly walked forward, opened the arbitrary door, and then turned the handle of the door again.

The night is dotted with stars, it is a brilliant starry sky, and those twinkling stars are so calm and serene.

Below the starry sky was a green meadow, and Lin Xiao was lying there comfortably and Artoria, who was also lying next to her, looking at the starry sky.

"Hey, how is Artoria, this place is nice. ”

"It was beautiful and quiet, I loved the feeling. Seeming to be intoxicated, Artoria whispered back.

"It's nice to be able to do that, it's a beautiful sight I discovered not long ago, but I didn't notice these beautiful things until I recently met some stupid knight. ”

"It's rude to say that people are stupid. ”

"Alright then, let's put it another way. After such a pause, Lin Xiao took a deep breath.

"Artoria, you are the one who changed me, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

"Thank you, I should thank you, why do you say that?" replied puzzled.

Lin Xiao looked up at the starry sky with a smile on her face.

"I was an orphan, and I had a lot of bad experiences in my life, which made me suspect that I was an abnormal person, and if I didn't think I would have seen any starry sky at all, I would have slept comfortably under this beautiful starry sky. ”

Artoria secretly glanced at Lin Xiao next to her, was silent for a while, and then quietly replied: "I'm sorry for having such a sad thing." ”

"I've been thinking for a long time, what do people live in this world for? I don't have anything I want to pursue, I don't know what I'm interested in, of course I've felt happiness because of certain things, but this happiness is very short-lived, and after the boredom, it's more of a sense of nothingness, I don't understand that it's just to let the hollowness in my heart expand, Artoria is the real me. ”

Artoria thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe I can't answer the answer to such a question. ”

"When I first came into contact with you, I felt that you were very shiny, firmly walking on the path of life that I had chosen, without hesitation or regret, but I was completely the opposite, just because I couldn't find it and gave up looking, how small I was and just chose to escape, after that, I slowly began to look forward to you, I want to be like you, but I know deep down that I can't be like you. ”

"But I was deeply fascinated by you, and when I lost you at that time, I felt that I was done playing, so I desperately used the last straw, so it doesn't matter what the price. What I want is to grasp this unattainable dream, and now I have no expectations and pursuits, and all this is incredible just because of a dream. ”

"It's not a dream, it's real, just like we're having a conversation right now. ”

"Indeed, Artoria, you are always so kind... Actually, I was just scared, afraid that one day I would lose this dream again. ”

Because it's so important, it's even more fearful of losing.

"Not like that, now I'm by your side, and I'll be by your side in the future, I swear as a knight. ”

After going through so many things, the girl knight, who has completely said goodbye to the past, swore sincerely and seriously.

"Knight, if I wanted to think of you as a maiden, what would you say, Artoria. ”

Artoria pondered for a moment, then laughed, "Then I will guarantee this with the girl's oath." ”

Lin Xiao said calmly: "In this case, if you are a girl Artoria, have you ever thought about having a special love?"

"Hey, why did you say this all of a sudden!" Artoria replied in a panic, as if frightened.

"Hey, that's funny how you react. ”

"What。。。。 Are you kidding?" Artoria stammered.

"Seriously. Lin Xiao replied calmly, and then he stretched out his hand and slowly approached his "treasure", and finally grabbed the girl's hand.

"Artoria, then please be by my side in the future, and walk side by side until this starry sky falls and the world ends. ”

"As you wish. A slightly trembling voice replied.

What will greet the newborn young knight and the redeemed lost boy next? No one may know, but the only thing that can be known is that they will go further into the future.

So, keep looking forward to it。。。。。。。。。。
