Is Shinji good for Artoria? That's definitely good.

From the Holy Grail War when the two first met, until now, Shinji has always consciously or unconsciously thought about Artoria, and has never thought of reciprocating.

When they first met, let Skaha step in to treat her injuries and repel strong enemies.

A meeting of the three kings, talking about it. It sounds harsh, it looks ridiculous, and she acts like a clown among the kings, but when you think about it, it is to puncture her illusions and make her recognize reality.

In the battle of the sea demon in the future, Toscaha breaks through the scabbard to retrieve the strongest trump card lost in her life, and heal her curse, and finally kill the sea demon.

The final battle of the Willow Cave Temple brought Lancelot back to her senses, killed her strongest enemy, Gilgamesh, and untied her heart through the First Knight she valued the most, so that she was finally willing to usher in the end of her life and get the peace she deserved.

When he said goodbye, he quickly recognized her. Even after 5 years, he still cares about her.

I feel annoyed that she didn't break her obsession, and I feel sad that she is imprisoned by her inhibition power.

When he learned that she had entered Avalon and found peace, the ecstasy she remembered to this day.

In the next Holy Grail War, although he was not around, he had always arranged her affairs well. Whatever she wants, he will figure it out.

And when her child, the rebellious knight who ended her dynasty, appeared, he tried his best to resolve the misunderstanding between the two and let the two get along like normal relatives.

What he did for her had long since gone beyond the boundaries of the Master and the Servant, like a companion who had known each other for many years—at first, she thought so. But after talking to Mordred, she noticed something different.

He was different from Merlin, different from Gnavele, different from the Knights of the Round Table.

She wanted to know the answer, which was why she came to him at this time.

"You ask this. ”

Hearing Artoria's question, Shinji's eyes were slightly in a trance.

"Probably because I like you. ”

A few days ago, Shinji would never have honestly admitted that this love was a little different from the love relationship between men and women.

He might find some high-sounding reason, or talk about him left and right, or say something unconsciously handsome. Because at that time, he was very impetuous, and he was also a little worried that telling the truth would leave a bad impression on Artoria.

But after a series of things, he threw away those careful thoughts that are very ridiculous now, completely flattened his mentality, and became the truest version of himself.

He also believed that with the character of the Knight King, he would never get angry because he told the truth, but simply refused to say a few words that he should focus on the battle in front of him.

Artoria's reaction was basically the same as Shinji had thought, and after a brief moment of surprise, he quickly recovered and said in a slightly heavy tone:

"I'm sorry, master, I can't respond to your feelings right now, I'm really sorry. ”

"It's okay, I'll find it strange if you respond. And seriously, I don't know how to classify this 'like' and how to deal with it, but you say that it makes me feel a lot more relaxed. ”

Shinji's eyes flashed with a fleeting complication, and Artoria didn't see it.

"Thank you for your understanding, master. ”

"Then continue to be partners and comrades-in-arms. ”

"Well, the rest of the words are left for the end of the war, and hopefully, when the time comes, we will all survive. ”

Artoria naturally shook Shinji's outstretched hand and left later.

This truth and openness is what Shinji admires most about her, and at the same time, she can't avoid a little regret.

"I thought I could see a little panic or blush, but I didn't expect it to be a flute and curl my hair. Is it because this is not a confession at all? Or is it more mature after 1,500 years? Or is it simply that the favorability has not been brushed enough? Hehe, this comparison is really remarkable. ”

Someone who goes into a state of self-complaining doesn't know that he didn't guess any of them correctly. The reason why Artoria's reaction was so weak was because of Mordred.

Just imagine, if Mordred's chef and father had talked to Artoria, how would the two get along next?

In fact, the way of communication has not changed much, but the time spent between the two has increased significantly. In Mordred's words, she wondered how her father had been doing all these years, and what had he been through.

When we talk about this, we can't help but talk about our respective masters. So Artoria told Mordred everything that had happened between him and Shinji.

Although Mordred is a problem child, she is still much better than her father in terms of common sense, and it is estimated that her mother Morgan taught her better in this regard.

As soon as I heard that Shinji had done so many things for Artoria, my first reaction was that this guy had bad intentions - for example, I wanted to be her second father, I wanted to be her second mother, in short, I fell in love with my father.

At that time, Mordred was on fire and was ready to draw his sword and cut people. But considering that guy is the lord of his father, and his own combat effectiveness is strong, and he can communicate with his father so harmoniously, he can also be considered meritorious, so he didn't really go, but told Artoria what he wanted in his heart, and asked her to guard against her own lord.

Artoria didn't believe it at first, but was a little shaken by Mordred's persuasion, so she went to her lord to find out. As a result, it really got Mordred right.

Because of Mordred's vaccination, Artoria's reaction was not as great as being "confessed" in an unsuspecting situation. Before coming here, Artoria also thought a little about what to do if it was true.

The answer is just as Shinji heard - he can't respond now, and the rest is left for the war to end.

……

……

……

Wait, something seems wrong?

What this means is that I will not reply to you now, and I will give you a formal answer later.

But interspersed with a few sentences of explanation and politeness, the meaning is different, at least in Shinji's understanding, it is rejected (tragedy), and it is a tragedy without any delay.

And Artoria, who returned to the room, was still thinking about what kind of feelings she had for Shinji.

Hate? Certainly not hate.

That's a comrade-in-arms like Gawain and Lancelot?

Merlin, who is also a father, a teacher and a friend, is not.

The Knight King, who had never experienced such a feeling, fell into distress. She remembered Merlin's nagging before she was summoned - Artoria, you are no longer a king, and you finally have the opportunity to go out for a walk, so enjoy life as an ordinary girl. Having a boyfriend, having a relationship, or whatever, do you want me to teach you some experience? I'm pretty good at that.

Was it really Merlin's right?

PS: After all, he is a famous online scammer and has rich experience in love.
