Chapter 237: Night Talk: Leticia (Chapter 2 in One)

As soon as the subject of Redisia was mentioned, Joan of Arc became overjoyed.

"She's a very nice girl. ”

"Even if you don't say it, I know it. Although it is a little unscrupulous and reckless, for an ordinary girl, being able to hand over her body to you so without hesitation is enough to be impressive. ”

For Joan of Arc's dependence, Shinji did not hesitate to praise it.

"In a sense, you're really alike. You have received a revelation from the Lord and are thrown into battle. She heard your voice and came here resolutely. ”

"That's true, and we're all interested in something else. ”

At this, Joan of Arc couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Jeanne d'Arc was undoubtedly attracted by modern food, transportation and all kinds of knowledge, especially mathematics, that she had never been exposed to before.

And what attracted Leticia is not difficult to guess, the Holy Grail War, magic, and the existence of unrealistic fantasies called Servants, no matter what, are new things that ordinary people can't touch.

"Wait a minute, I'll call her out. ”

"Is that good? with me, a stranger, at such a point in time. ”

Although I can't remember what kind of character this girl is, it doesn't seem like what a girl should do when it's close to midnight, and being alone with a strange man doesn't seem like what a girl should do, let alone a church school - Shinji puts himself in Leticia's shoes.

"It doesn't matter. ”

The girl responded, her voice still the same, but it was significantly weaker. It's still the same, but it's a little more cowardly.

"I want to help you and the Holy Maiden, too. ”

"Leticia?" Shinji blinked.

"That, yes. You're right, I ...... It's Rhaedia. ”

Stared at by a strange male, the girl clenched her fists uneasily.

"It's a little strange to say this for the first time, but it's nice to meet you. ”

Shinji tries to make himself look kinder and not scare the girl in front of him.

"I, me too, it's nice to be able to talk to Shinji-san in this way, because I was just watching before. ”

"It's already amazing to be able to look at it, that kind of scene like the sky is falling apart, it's easy to leave a shadow in your heart. ”

A human being, who lives normally in the world, is suddenly attached to himself by the Holy Maiden one day, and is also drawn into the war over the Holy Grail. Although the consciousness is asleep inside, and there is no need to fight in person, sometimes you will inadvertently see some unbearable cruel scenes.

In response to Shinji's exclamation, Redisia showed a soft smile that was slightly different from Joan of Arc - obviously the same appearance, but the atmosphere was obviously different.

"It's okay now, the Holy Maiden has always cared for me. And everyone is very nice people, Mr. Shinji, Miss Artoria, Miss Reika, and Little Jack...... I don't know magic until now, I'm a person who really doesn't know anything. ”

The girl said as she folded her hands into a prayer position.

"If the Holy Maiden hadn't come, I'm afraid I'd have been living in a state where I don't know anything. However, I learned about these things in this way, and I met heroes who would have only been praised in myths and legends. ”

"I'm not a hero, did I let you down. ”

"No, not really. Leticia shook her head repeatedly, "Shinji-san is strong, handsome, and intelligent, no worse than those heroes. ”

"Hehe, thank you for giving me such a high rating. But I know that I'm still a long way from them, really a long way off. ”

Shinji narrowed his eyes, his expression a little lonely. Seeing his expression, Leticia looked very anxious.

"No, no, Shinji-sama is really, really a great person, because I've been watching, always, all the timeβ€”"

It was a really fantastic time for Laeticia.

Until then, her lifestyle was very simple, and she was cramped every day.

Pray in the morning, pray at noon, pray at night, pray before eating, pray before sleeping.

Friends in the dormitory often take a proper breath. She didn't intend to blame them, but she felt that it would be better to relax a little. She thought so, but for some reason she didn't intend to do so at allβ€”maybe because she was afraid of something that would make her heart flutter.

It's like spending every day in the deep ocean. There is no particular joy and sorrow, just living life plainly.

The college she lives in doesn't have any special features. Friends complained that it was like a prison. On the other hand, because it is not completely cut off from the outside world, some people easily embark on the path of self-depravity, and some people regret it.

In that kind of environment, people say that it is really a shame that she can still restrain herself so strictly.

He did not fall into communication with the outside world, and at the same time did not translate this into excess self-esteem.

Whether it's a teacher or a friend, for some reason, they always praise her.

Everyone says that this way of life is beautiful, and this way of living is correct.

She could only accept the compliments with an ambiguous smile, but at the same time she was distressed in her heart - it was not like that at all.

She's just afraid of change.

She is well aware of her character. There is no self-control at all, the brakes have long been broken, and once you run, you will only keep accelerating, and there is no way to reduce the speed at all.

Even if there was a cliff in front of her, she would jump straight up. She couldn't stop until she fell to her death.

So she didn't have anything to do with the outside world, but she didn't feel great joy in prison. After all, her parents are out there, and it is impossible to completely cut off contact.

It's really not going to be on either sideβ€”she wants to laugh at herself.

She doesn't want to be associated with others and become infected with the world, making herself an extremely ordinary and ordinary person. But at the same time, they do not have the courage to dedicate themselves to a world ruled only by taboos, insulated from the outside world.

Overall, she just didn't know what she was supposed to be aiming for, and I couldn't find the path I should take. It's just a daze, following the dimly visible road, stepping on a vain pace and moving forward with trepidation.

Forget it, it doesn't matter what happens to it at this point, one by one, she walked straight forward with a half-self-defeating mood.

No matter what awaits her on the road ahead. Anyway, I don't know anything, and I can't help it. Even if you fall into the world, even if you want to become a criminal, even if you want to regret it...... All of them were discarded on the grounds that there was no way.

It was at such a time - she had a dream and saw a road.

Joan of Arc asked her for help. The knowledge inserted in her head, she instantly understood everything and accepted everything.

Of course, she also had fears. With the Holy Grail at the center, the heroes engage in a fiery battle with each other, which is by no means something that a mortal like himself should be involved in.

However, in the end, she agreed, and solemnly rejected the persuasion of "as long as you stay asleep", and witnessed everything that happened through the vision of the saint.

Whether it was an unimaginable battle scene or a miserable scene full of disgusting disgust, she saw it all.

Perhaps it was the fact that "being in the safety zone" became a mental barrier, and she saw things that no one other than me would never be able to see even if it took her whole life.

Heroes galloping across the battlefield, warriors smashing huge stone statues with mysterious equipment. There are also magicians who use strange spells, and even giant statues that look like gods and large fortresses floating in the air.

In this scene where the legend becomes a reality, she feels how small, stupid and ignorant she is.

Sure enough, it's the difference between heaven and earth. Just treat all this as a dream, and when everything is over, you will return to your own world, return to the usual world, bury all the secrets in your heart, and have a chance to think about it, after all, it is not a world that you can touch.

She thought about it more than once, but every time she made up her mind, the man would appear and tell her that the distance between the two worlds was not so far away, and that there was room for her existence.

Although that person also has powers beyond common sense, he does not exude an atmosphere that is out of step with the modern world like other heroes.

He can stop cars with the usual hitchhiking gestures, and he has a complete modern education, and the way he speaks and handles things is not much different from that of ordinary people. will get carried away, will deliberately show off, and will be crazy and awkward.

To be honest, compared to the Holy Maiden, he really has a lot of shortcomings. But it was these shortcomings that made Leticia feel real, and her eyes were unconsciously attracted to him, and she couldn't help but want to cheer him on.

After all, civilian heroes and grassroots elites will always be especially favored by ordinary people.

When she saw that he was seriously injured, she was very anxious.

When she saw him cheer up, she was so happy again.

When she heard him drawing, she felt that she could do something for him, and for the first time she urged the Holy Maiden to come over, and for the first time she took the initiative to intervene in a world that should not have belonged to her.

Although she was a little sorry for the conscientious saint-sama, she really hoped that he would achieve the final victory.

"So, Shinji-san, you must be fine, have confidence in yourself. I, I'll do my best to help you. ”

Seeing Leticia like this, trying so hard to cheer herself up, Shinji's face also had a little more smile.

"How are you going to help me?"

"Well, Miss Lingxia said, you're drawing a diagram of the structure of the garden in the sky. ”

Laeticia, lacking self-confidence, took a deep breath and mustered all her courage.

"I'm interested in drawing...... Well, it's a bit of a good experience, and I kept watching it when I went up to the garden, and I thought I could help!"

"That's the case, then please draw a rough outline and a map of the route Joan of Arc walked through, okay?"

"I'll try. ”

"Okay, that's the momentum.,Help me see if there's any problem with my painting first.。。 ”

"Hmm!"

So the two of them moved the paper and pen on the desk to the coffee table, and one of them occupied one side and began to fight at night.

Outside the hidden door, Fiore watched the scene quietly, her expression changing several times, and finally turned into an incomprehensible sigh and quietly left.

β—‡β—‡β—‡

It's not just Shinji who doesn't sleep with a continuous liver explosion, but also the enemies he must defeat.

Due to the collapse of illusions twice in a row, the palace where the Great Holy Grail was stored is no longer usable. Semiramis, the master of the garden, temporarily opened a new altar.

Although it was opened temporarily, the altar still retains the atmosphere and luxury that are customary to the garden.

The altar is cut off from the surrounding space by magic twists, creating a sense of expanse as far as the eye can see.

Although it appears to be basin-shaped as a whole, only the central part is flattened. When you descend the wide staircase made of burnt bricks to the central part, you can see the Great Chalice of Fuyuki floating there.

The gesture that emitted a blue-white glow looked like the moon that had been summoned to this space.

But what is even more amazing is the ceiling of the altar.

The ceiling is made of transparent crystal, and the top of the crystal is filled with "water".

It was simply an inverted lake. The lake is full of blue, red, yellow and other colorful water lilies - like a rainbow-colored sky.

This is a spectacle that can only be realized in the "vanity of the sky courtyard" with a "reverse concept", where the water flows high and people go low.

Unfortunately, this fantastical magnificence was destroyed by the owner of the altar, a white-haired boy in monastic robes.

The space outside the altar is stained with a large expanse of black, as if it were ashes left behind by a fire, and it looks like a dark and curious drawing-style work.

With the movements of the young man on the altar, the blackened ground bulged irregularly, like bubbles, and as if something was gathering and rolling in the black.

Soon, these black bulges converged together, growing and rising, and finally took on the form of a black human.

Except for the overall color, these figures are almost indistinguishable from real people, and both the details of the clothes and the features of the faces are well restored. The only difference is that the human form is a human form after all, and there is a dead silence on the face, and there is no anger in sight.

The last human form was completed, and the young man took away the red and blue magic on his arm, reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good, that's it. ”

"Using the Servant's soul contained in the Little Chalice as the base, I used my treasure to connect and evoke their spiritual base, and finally used the illusory properties of the garden to create the 'Shadow Servant'. ”

"Although it is different from the principle of the genuine version, there is no difference in performance, and of course, it is inevitable that IQ and treasure are limited. ”

"However, even if the Noble Phantasm is restricted, the strength of these Shadow Servants is just as strong. After all, this is the largest Holy Grail War in the Middle East, and the five servants involved in the war are all first-class ceiling starters. ”

"It's up to you to do the rest - Shadow Archer Arash, Shadow Lancer Romulus, Shadow Caster Hohenheim, Shadow Assassin Prodigal Son Yanqing, and Shadow Berserker Beowulf. ”

"Don't think I have no cards to play if I give them all away. After all, the use of the existing deck is only second-rate, and the one who can print his own cards is the king, I am the legendary king of cardsβ€”β€” the so-called number gap does not exist from the beginning, hahahahahaha!!"

PS: Sure enough, Shinji is going to defeat Shirou.

PS2: That's it for today.
