Chapter 21: Artoria's Duties
Shinji is a royal chef, and if you calculate it in terms of favorability, his favorability towards Artoria is rising.
Artoria, on the other hand, also maintains a fairly good opinion of Shinji because of Shinji's different performance from other magicians, his remarks at the King's Banquet, and Skaha's last unintentional insertion.
With such a foundation, the communication between Shinji and Artoria is called a smooth one, and the two of them seem to be falling in love at first sight, and as if they are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, and they forget the time when they chat.
The two talked a lot, a lot.
For example, your body has already been solidified by the "Sword in the Stone" and the "Sword of Victory of the Oath", and you have always been a girl with a height of 1.73 meters and a circumference of more than 100 meters until you enter Avalon, why do you now appear as a royal sister with a height of 1.73 meters and a circumference of more than 100?
Answer: Merlin is doing something. The sword in the stone was originally made by Merlin, and the curing of Artoria's body was also Merlin's masterpiece, and he could be solidified or lifted. After receiving a message from Restraining, before responding to Shinji's call, Merlin asks Artoria if she wants to see what she will be like when she grows up. Artoria had already relieved himself of his duties as king, so there was no need to pretend to be a man, and he was curious about what he would become, so he agreed.
So, Merlin cast a magic trick on Artoria and temporarily changed Artoria's form, which is what Shinji saw in front of his eyes - from the quilt king who didn't understand people's hearts (the more he crossed), to the "white gun" and "northern hemisphere" (the less he crossed).
Incidentally, Artoria's revealing outfit is also Merlin's masterpiece – not from scratch, of course, but a redesign of the underlining of Artoria. That set of underwear is worn on a girl who is only 1.5 meters, which is naturally appropriate and decent, but when it is worn on a 1.73 meter royal sister, it can't be wrapped. Therefore, Merlin made a few openings in the place where he couldn't wrap up, and a seductive outfit was born. Of course, the tight, airtight outer armor is also designed to create a sharp contrast and give people the strongest visual impact.
Note: The Servant's battle suit is woven from its own mana, so you don't have to worry about the armor rubbing against the skin.
Interestingly, Artoria is naturally unaware of the lethal effect of this suit on men, thanks to Merlin.
For such an act of deceiving an innocent girl, Shinji did not hesitate to expose it, and said righteously: "Merlin is really an old rascal, and he must be beaten if he has the opportunity." ”
Such a righteous approach was highly appreciated by Artoria, but how did she know that the guy in front of her, whom she considered a good master, still had the other half of the words hidden in his heart - "Although I don't want to admit it, Merlin, you old rascal are really beautiful." ”
For example, what did Shinji do in the Holy Grail War that changed the fate of Artoria.
In fact, he didn't do anything, just a mouth cannon, liberate Lancelot, let Lancelot mouth cannon again, and finally use Gilgamesh's pride to successfully kill this most terrible enemy.
As for why Shinji knew so much about Artoria. Shinji directly pushed it to his master Skaha, the immortal queen who was on the outside of the world, but she could observe the situation in the present world, and it was not strange to see anything.
However, Shinji did not deny his efforts, after all, Skaha's style was there, Shinji did not ask for it, and Skaha would not take the initiative to interfere with the fate of others - the fighting spirit burned, except when the blood was on the head.
Later, Artoria asks about the fate of Shinji's other servants. In that Holy Grail War, except for the CTR she killed with her own hands and the one she killed with her own hands, how the other servants died, she didn't see it with her own eyes, and could only rely on guessing.
Shinji didn't hide it and gave it all up.
&nbp;NCR Dilumudo was killed in a fair duel with Skaha.
&nbp;RDR Iskandar was defeated in a one-on-one duel with RCR Gilgamesh and died.
&nbp;The end of Rcr Gilgamesh and BRRKR Lancelot Artoria already knows, and Shinji describes in detail the short, but thrilling battle.
When it is told that Lancelot was pierced by several precious Phantasms and still desperately used his special move "Broken Locks: Heavy Lakelight" to die with Gilgamesh, Artoria's emotions fluctuated violently and he almost lost control.
She admired Lancelot's bravery.
She was proud of Lancelot's loyalty.
He's still the flower of knights, the first knight, and the best friend she's familiar with.
When Artoria regained calm, the two, who had known each other for a long time, tacitly agreed not to mention the past and shifted the topic to the present.
Shinji asked, "Do you have any wishes you want to fulfill?" Artoria. ”
Artoria shook her head: "No, I don't have a wish for the Holy Grail, this time just to fulfill the duty of an observer. ”
"What duties. ”
"Observe this Holy Grail War. There are many uncertainties in this Holy Grail War, and my task is to determine whether it will cause significant harm to the planet and humanity. ”
"Planet and human beings, the two major inhibitory forces are paying attention?" Shinji's face changed slightly, it couldn't be because of the incursion of his own traverser. The more you think about it, the more likely it is, otherwise you don't need to send the observer to your side.
"Yes. Artoria nodded, "So, tr-"
"It's okay to call Shinji. ”
"Okay, Shinji, I need your help. ”
"How can I help?"
"I need to gather information on every Master and Servant in this Holy Grail War, and observe them. I know it's hard, but I hope you can help me. ”
Artoria lowered her head and solemnly got rid of it, completely unaware of how tempting it was to make such a move as a royal sister, especially the whiteness of her chest that could come out at any time.
Shinji moved his gaze to the ceiling, not looking at the most understanding of people's hearts, and said softly: "Don't be so troublesome, the biggest variable in this Holy Grail War is right in front of you, and it's me." ”
"You?" Artoria looked up, her hair shaking.
"Well, since you have made a contract with the power of restraint, you should know about the existence of parallel worlds. ”
"Know some. "Artoria is not dead, but she has become a Heroic Spirit because of the contract of restraining power.
"This Holy Grail War and the Winter Wood Holy Grail War that you and I participated in are actually different developments of the same Holy Grail War, and the two worlds are parallel to each other. That is, I am not from this world, I am from another world, and I intervened in this Holy Grail War in a special way, seizing the position of Kuro. The real black should belong to the child you saw, and I think the restraint should have sensed my existence and sent you to observe me. ”
&nbp;p: Artoria still had a longing for Merlin when she was young, but the more she went on, the more she felt that Merlin was hateful, and in "ft&nbp;rnd&nbp;rdr", Artoria looked at Merlin like she was looking at garbage.
&nbp;p: Ask someone to help you and show that it's common sense.
&nbp;p: After learning about Merlin's existence, Dumb Hair was worried - do you want to be watched live by Merlin? With Merlin's style, he must have been staring at Dumb Hair the whole time, and when the time comes- "Well, let's tell a story about the king." On a certain day, a certain month, ...... in a dark room"
