"Enkidu? Rare Gil is not with you, is the journey still enjoyable?" Even though the troubles in his heart are as heavy as a mountain, because of the problem of principle, Emiya Shirou doesn't want Enki to worry about him. He exhaled softly as he moved under his feet, and when he walked up to Enkidu, the helplessness on his face had long since disappeared, and all that was left was a gentle smile, as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm!! But it would be nice if Mr. Shirou could come along" nodded like a small animal, and naturally took one of the vegetable baskets in Emiya Shirou's hand, and Enkidu pointed in the direction behind him, "Jill is now fulfilling the king's responsibilities and walking around the city to understand the people's feelings~"

"I see, I have fulfilled the duties of the king."

With the company of friends, the longer you spend together, the more you can feel the difference between Niang Shining and the bastard in my memory

Intimacy is a two-way street, and as the days go by, the feeling of sparkling for an adult mother is gradually different from before. At this moment, seeing that she was performing her work seriously, there was an inexplicable sense of relief in my heart, as if the elders had watched their children finally grow up.

"It's good to add food tonight" The mood suddenly improved, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Emiya Shirou simply turned around and walked towards the place where all kinds of meat were sold.

Seeing Emiya Shirou turn around and leave, and not asking him what he wanted to buy to add vegetables, Enki obediently followed behind Emiya Shirou.

The one who walked in front knew that the one in the back would definitely follow, and the one in the back knew that he would come over and how natural and tacit it understanding the two of them were, and from the side, it looked like a friend who had been together for a long time, inseparable. Seeing such a scene, the surrounding residents couldn't help but smile more or less.

Although Niang Shining has changed from a tyrannical tyrant to a benevolent ruler since Enkidu came here, the people are not satisfied not because they are not satisfied, but because of the king himself.

The king is lonely. This point is clear to all the people inside the palace and the ordinary people, but because the former mother is too cruel, everyone chooses to leave the king's loneliness behind, but now the situation is completely different. In the company of Enkidu, Niang Sparkle became benevolent and virtuous, and all the people lived happily and steadily under her rule.

Everyone loved the changed king, and everyone hoped that the king would be happy except for themselves, and then the question of what had been thrown aside by the people was raised again—how should the king's loneliness be solved?

As ordinary people, whether their status or strength, they are simply not qualified to stand by the king's side and become her friend.

But things often turn out to be far from what was expected.

It's not that the situation hasn't improved at all after Enqidu appeared, but there is indeed an equivalent who can talk to each other by Niang Shanshan's side. However, perhaps because Enkidu was too obsessed with seeing herself as a puppet in the past, although her appearance was to make Niang Twinkle less lonely, but it was more just an unconditional obedience to Niang Twinkle's advice and silently helping Niang Twinkle clean up the mess

Friends should not be simply a relationship between master and servant, command and obedience. Niang Shanshan likes Enkidu to stay by her side, but she wants a Enkidu who doesn't treat herself as a puppet but sees herself as a living being, and can get along with her more ordinarily and normally! For this reason, Niang Shining keeps trying to guide Enkidu to enjoy happiness, such as she will give Enkidu delicious food, take Enkidu to various places for adventures, etc., in the hope that she will gradually realize the importance of "self".

Unfortunately, these attempts have failed. Enkidu's positioning of himself is still a puppet, and Nyashiki can't really enjoy the two-way happiness between real friends until Emiya Shirou arrives, and one night, through Nguyen Sparkle's attention to Enkidu, Enkidu begins to think about the question of "self".

The coming of Enkidu filled the place at the king's side and changed the king; The arrival of Emiya Shirou changed Enkidu and enriched Niang's life

Since then, even if it has only changed little by little, it is obvious that Enkidu has become more human than ever. Perhaps, this is also the reason why the relationship between Niang Shinshin and Emiya Shirou has become so good so quickly, but there is another important point that Emiya Shirou does not know, and that is that his actions have also won the trust and gratitude of the residents for him.

The trust of the inhabitants in him allowed Shirou Emiya to rescue Enki before she was killed by the gods, which directly affected the outcome of the trip, of course, this is something that Emiya Shirou is completely unaware of now, and it is absolutely impossible to realize it

"Well, that's probably enough meat, right?"

"If it's three people, it doesn't feel like it's enough."

"Ahh Because the recent incident has not gone very well, I don't have much appetite now, so I can just eat a little later. ”

"No, you can't!! If you eat too little, it will affect your health, and it will also affect your work progress Sorry, I want a little more portion. ”

"No, just like I told you before, I don't"

"No is no way! Ah, thank you boss. ”

It's like a daily dispute between husband and wife

From the old days of being completely unassertive, to now almost forcibly rejecting Emiya Shirou's opinion, the change in Enkito is huge. With the sunny smile on the face of the middle-aged man who sold meat, Enkidu took the basket containing raw meat and gave it the coin, and then was forced to snatch the basket by Emiya Shirou, and then snatched a vegetable basket from his hand and held it

Walking side by side in the direction of the palace, Enkidu seemed to think of something, and hurriedly walked in front of Emiya Shirou to stop him.

"If I understand the meat, I will eat it, and I will eat the rice. Is that okay?" Enkidu's expression seemed to have made up his mind, and looking at her pretty face, Emiya Shirou rubbed the silver hair on his forehead helplessly.

It's just a meal, do you need to make any determination?

"No, not this!" Shaking his head slightly, Enkidu took a deep breath, and then looked at Emiya Shirou with a hopeful gaze, "Jill she is going to travel again from tomorrow, and this time is different from the previous ones, she is going to the more distant mountains in the north, it is said that there seems to be something powerful there!" The whole trip may take more than 20 days, and Mr. Shirou wants to come along?"

The expectant gaze, nervous expression, and clenched little fists look as cute and foul as a small animal when viewed from the front

Looking at Enkidu like this, Emiya Shirou's heart was pierced with a "poof".

If the star-eyed Erquit has quite a destructive power against Emiya Shirou, then the Enkidu in front of him is even more than that!

If you refuse, you'll cry right away, right?

There is not a word in his mouth, but in his heart there is a war between heaven and man! Seeing the faint tears in the corners of Enqidu's eyes, Emiya Shirou, who had been several times, almost wanted to open his mouth to agree to Enqidu's invitation, but considering that if he spent nearly a month playing at this time, it was definitely not conducive to his puppet making, and it was more likely that he would not be able to save Enqidu under the strictest situation, and he was immediately forcibly suppressed by him

It is difficult to choose between intolerance and rationality. However, after several tosses and turns, reason finally prevailed over intolerance, and Emiya Shirou shook his head with a conscience.

"I'm sorry I can't go. Jill, the jade she commissioned me to make is not yet finished, so why do I even have to think about the appearance of the jade? At least tell me about my ideal image! What kind of appearance is "unique", ah, the workload has increased again" The head was confused, and even Emiya Shirou himself didn't know what he was talking about. But when he saw Enkidu's lonely expression, the reproach of his conscience instantly drove away the confusion in his head. Finally, Emiya Shirou put his lips to Enkidu's ear and said in a low voice, "Seriously, I'm really a little afraid that I won't be able to make your puppet in time, and I'm even more afraid that it will cost you your life, I promise you, after returning to my time, if you are still willing to invite me to travel, I will definitely agree." Now give me a little time, okay? Enkidu. ”

The tone was full of sincere feelings, and the atmosphere between the two of them was like going back to that night a few months ago

Looking at Enkidu quietly, Emiya Shirou waited for Enkidu's answer without saying a word.

"You can't forget the agreement, right?" After a long time, he pouted lightly, and Enkidu raised his head to look at Emiya Shirou.

"Ahh

Gently stroking Enqidu's little head, Emiya Shirou took the vegetable basket from Enqidu's hand and quietly continued to walk in the direction of the palace

P.S.1: Yesterday the second watch failed, and today's third watch is hopeless
