Seeing that Shinji really started bathing with gold, Artilla finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some trepidation, "Is it really okay?"

"Of course. I'm pretty good, by human standards. Shinji said, bending his arms and flexing his muscles, "Otherwise, it won't be possible to block your 'destruction rays'." ”

Altila thought for a moment and nodded, "It's really powerful, probably similar to me in my dream." ”

That is, the level of Attila, the "whip of God", in terms of the combat power of the servant's body, Shinji can indeed reach that level.

"You just asked me if you 'too' like treasures, which means you like treasures, right? ”

"Well, that's right, it's me in my dreams, but it's also a part of me. This is how I was in my dreams, piling up treasures in my tent and sleeping surrounded by treasures. ”

Although Artilla said this, judging from her expression, it had been detached from a part of the concept and became her all, and the longing was unusually shining.

And this vision is exactly what Shinji wants to see.

"Yes, that's it, that's it, she's the best proof of 'home'. Decorate a place that makes you feel at ease with things you like, and that's home. ”

"Home...... Well, I'm not very clear, and I don't have a concept about that. Altila's eyes looked blank.

"It's okay if you don't know, if you don't mind, I'll tell you slowly later. ”

This is also Shinji's purpose, the second step after confirming the essence of Artilla.

Although she was born 14,000 years ago, like Elquit, she spends most of her time in a deep sleep. Her experience is only 14,000 years ago and the life of Attila in the fifth century AD. The former was just a simple destruction, and the latter was not much better than the former - the attitude of the Hun elders towards Attila was not much different from that of the wandering star, except that she was a weapon, and her task was to constantly fight, destroy, and lead the Huns to victory.

In a way, she is a blank slate, whiter than Elquet, at least the latter can read information and gain experience from the world's records, and Altila's cognition is still stuck in the fifth century AD, otherwise she would not think that gold coins bathe the most extravagant things on the earth—more extravagant things than this? such as bathing with diamonds and burning with dollars as firewood, so Altila is really naive.

However, thanks to this naive, the protagonist of "Fate Extella" Kishiba Shirano can easily enter her heart, allowing her to gradually get rid of the shackles of the traveling star, so that she no longer regards herself as a weapon, as the embodiment of destruction, and even sacrifices herself in order to save Kishiba Shirano. Shinji also plans to take advantage of this and dye this blank paper in his own color - there is no need to sacrifice himself to such extremes, just get rid of the identity of the "star wanderer" and live quietly in the fictional world.

Of course, it would be better if you were willing to help yourself fight other threats. When planning for the future, Shinji fantasized more than once that if the "Land of Steel" really couldn't be avoided, Artilla would use the power of Mooncell to restore the body of "Sefalu" and fight for the last chance of life for humanity - well, it's just a fantasy to let go of himself, Shinji doesn't want to usher in this kind of future, and he doesn't know if he can live until that day.

Altila, who didn't know Shinji's inner thoughts, unconsciously clenched her hands, her expression worried, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

"Really?"

"Why not?" asked Shinji rhetorically.

"I am the embodiment of destruction, the destroyer of civilization, and I will fulfill my mission to conquer Mooncell and destroy everything on Earth, when Wilpa returns. ”

"Let's not say if Wilpa will come back, and when. When the day comes, you will once again become the White Giant 'Sepharu', and I will see you as an enemy and will do whatever it takes to defeat you. Even if I'm gone, there will be Elquit or someone else fighting you—for the blue planet, for the people who live on it. ”

From beginning to end, Shinji's tone was calm, whether Altila's expression was soft or dignified, with murderous or not, he didn't react, he was ready to come. From the moment he took over the blue crystal, he had to take on this responsibility.

"Are you—my enemy?" Altila's deep voice echoed through the stone chamber, and the air grew heavy.

"I am an enemy of 'Sefalu', and if you don't become her, we are not enemies. ”

No matter what other people think, no matter what the inhibition is going to do, this is Shinji's truest thought - Artilla is Artilla, and "Sefalu" is "Sefalu".

"'Sefalu' is my doppelganger on Earth, we are the same. ”

The solemn air was transformed into a substantial pressure poured into Shinji's body. The stone chamber is Altilla's realm and the foundation of Altilla's existence, and she can change the environment at will, just like Elquet's "utopian materialization".

"No, doppelgangers are not everything. ”

Shinji gritted his teeth for support, but didn't use magic.

"The doppelganger only knows the weapon of destruction. She doesn't speak, she doesn't communicate with me like that, she doesn't sprinkle gold at me, she doesn't fear hurting me. Such a doppelganger is just one side of you, standing in front of me, the person who can think, and is willing to communicate is the real you. If she's all you have, why are you still here, why didn't you conquer Mooncell?"

"Well, that's because of the order of 'Wandering Star', let me stand by until it returns. ”

Capturing Altila's momentary hesitation, Shinji smiled.

"Does standby also include communicating with me and sprinkling gold coins at me?"

"This ......"

"Anyway, my enemy is 'Sefalù', and you're not 'Sefalù' yet, so we're not an enemy - or are you already seeing me as an enemy?"

"No, no. The pressure dissipated, and Altila's voice returned softly, "But what is it if it's not an enemy? ”

"There are many kinds of relationships between people, not enemies, they can be family, friends, acquaintances, strangers. We're still strangers now, but I wish we could become mature people or even friends. ”

"So what should be done?"

"It's a gradual evolutionary process, well, let's take the first step, swap names with each other so we don't know each other. My name is Shinji Makiri. ”

"My name is Altila. ”

"Hello, Artilla, nice to meet you. ”

"Hello, Shinji Makiri, nice to meet you. ”

After many twists and turns, we finally got off to a good start.
