Artoria ran through the fields with a silent Lux on her shoulder, and soon reached a county town near the city of Ann. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the army of the other world has just arrived, it has not yet touched the surrounding counties, and now it seems that the situation is quite stable except for the monsters and zombies in the county.

Artoria found a room where no one was around, put Lux on the bed, glanced at the sluggish Lux with a little worry, and then picked up the holy sword and went out to rescue the survivors, she knew that the pain of witnessing the death of her comrades was still the pain of dying for herself, which she had experienced countless times, and knew that this situation could not be solved by others, only Lux could figure it out by herself.

So staying here, it's better to save a few more people.

In fact, unlike Artoria thought, Lux was not sad about Emiya's death, but was thinking about her own problems.

"Perhaps, because the body has become a woman, the mind has become sentimental."

"Obviously, no matter how lonely I was before, I wouldn't think about the need for comfort."

"Obviously, I am used to not being noticed, not trusted, and quietly being an ordinary little transparent."

"You can smile at anyone's rejection."

"I ...... What the hell is wrong? Lux lowered her head and looked at the scars on her legs, a little confused.

"Perhaps, it's not because of the body, it's just that I have felt the despair of death, and I cherish everything more."

"Seeing them laugh, my heart is also happy, watching them cry, my heart will be depressed, and seeing the despair of others in my dreams, my heart will hope to save more people."

"Haha, I won't be an M." Lux looked up, tears streaming from her eyes, and she laughed at herself.

"But I don't hate myself now, so let the tears flow out." The tears finally flowed uncontrollably, but Lux was smiling, laughing happily.

"Emiya Shirou, I received your wish."

An hour later, Artoria returned to the room.

In this hour, she swept away all the zombies and monsters in the community at a whirlwind speed, and saved hundreds of survivors.

She returned to the house but didn't see Lux.

"What about people?" Artoria looked around suspiciously, and her dull hair spun from side to side like radar.

Then, she saw a piece of paper that seemed to have words on it.

She stepped forward and picked up the piece of paper, on which were the words left by Lux:

Forgive the following without saying goodbye.

If that's not wrong, you'll probably be called Artoria.

I don't know if the seniors allow the juniors to call your real name without permission.

Still, I don't think you will.

I left first, because I felt that it was because of my weakness that caused the departure of Emiya Shirou's seniors.

Obviously, I and that demon king are both from the roots, but I don't have one-ten-thousandth of her strength, and I feel that time is pressing, and I need to constantly experience danger to control that power as soon as possible.

The predecessors are so powerful, if they are with you, I am afraid that they will not be able to break through.

In short, there is no need to worry, we will meet again.

-- Lux, who represents hope

"This fool...... As stupid as Shirou. Artoria clumped the paper into a ball and covered her forehead.

"But I'm looking forward to your growth, Daughter of the Roots."
