"Poof!"

Lancelot, who was sipping black tea in an elegant posture, suddenly erupted when he heard the girl's words.

"Ahem...... The subordinate was a little anxious to drink tea just now, and he was accidentally choked. ”

Embarrassed, he hurriedly grabbed the cloth in front of him and hurriedly wiped the tabletop.

"Lord Weigong, my king, my subordinates suddenly remembered that there were still a batch of stipendes from the territory that had not been read, so the subordinates went to deal with them first......" Lancelot said as he stood up and walked out, "My subordinates will wait for your summons outside the palace gate later." ”

It was definitely the fastest speed in the knight's life, and although he was walking, he was faster than running at full speed.

In a matter of seconds, his figure completely disappeared from my gaze.

It was as if there was a fire in the back......

“……”

I cupped my head and let out a feeble sigh.

It's a bit unacceptable for someone who prepares a meal carefully to leave the table in the middle of a meal.

What is even more unacceptable is the fact that the other party seems to have been forced away......

As for the culprit -

She was now looking in my direction with her hands on her cheeks, and there was a very innocent look in her green eyes.

"You." I couldn't help but raise my hand in amusement and gently tapped the knuckle of my index finger on the girl's head, "...... obviously took the initiative to leave someone to eat, but he drove him away by himself. ”

"Uh......h It hurts, Shirou. The girl reached out aggrievedly to hold her head, and her whole body curled up on the seat very cutely, "It's really too much, when Shirou first arrived at Camelot, he obviously fed me every day." Now that it's been a long time, are you starting to get tired of me? ”

"Spare me, it took us hours to eat during that time." I couldn't stop laughing, "You have to divide the food into a dozen bites, Artoria, you have to eat it in a dozen bites...... Every time, my arm is so sore that I can't do it. ”

"I ...... I just want to savor the food that Shirou makes. The girl's pretty face seemed to blush, "If you eat it in one bite, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to Shirou's hard work?" I want ...... Take Shirou's work seriously. ”

…… You can put this heart to another place! How did this strange brain circuit come to be?!

I'm already full of black lines.

"Besides...... Shirou is already working hard to cook for me every day, and I want Shirou to stay with me a little longer and take a break......" The girl said as she took my arm and shook it.

…… So because of this, it's not enough for me to cook well, do I have to feed you myself? It's so unreasonable!

"Shirou? You...... Don't you keep talking, don't you...... Really angry, right? ”

Seeing that I remained silent, the girl gradually realized that something was wrong.

"I'm sorry Shirou...... It's all my fault for being willful, forgive me, okay? The girl's whole head was buried deep in my arms, and her soft and smooth cheeks rubbed against my chest, "I...... I just want to be by your side all the time, even if I am hated by you, I willingly rely on ......"

“……”

The girl who was afraid to be hated by me and couldn't help but apologize was so fragile, unbelievably weak, almost vulnerable.

Just one glance can arouse infinite love and affection.

As for me, naturally-

"Poof."

I raised my hand to cover my mouth.

I can't help it. It's so much fun!

"Shirou?"

The girl's eyes were full of surprise and she looked up at me, who couldn't help but laugh, and her mind couldn't react for a while.

"Artoria, listen to me." I struggled to hold back the smile that welled up in my heart, and reached out to turn her body to myself, "Didn't I swear to love you for the rest of my life?" Why do you have the idea that I hate you? ”

If it's an ordinary lover, you'll probably really be shaken by each other's attitude.

It is understandable to worry that one of your actions or words will displease the other person, and that you will fall into trouble and loss.

After all, their past is not rich enough to fully recognize each other, let alone understand each other.

From the very beginning, the deepest depths of the relationship lurked with unstable unknowns, and every step of the way could lead to a dark pit that would completely engulf each other.

However, my encounter with Artoria was something far beyond that.

The adventure of the common experience, the consciousness of life;

Warm and ordinary daily life, smile from the heart.

Even if you cry in despair, even if your heart is like ashes—

Not to mention that it was just a dream of bubbles, an account that could not have happened in the first place.

However, they still firmly made a vow to each other and knew each other until the end of their lives.

- That's enough to put aside all contradictions and doubts.

All the past, countless feelings, condensed into the true meaning of love.

As long as you have this heart in your heart, you will never change!

"What...... What the!? The girl was stunned for a moment, "In other words, Shirou is actually joking with me?" ”

"Where did I make a joke about you, I didn't say a word the whole time, did I?" I said with a smile.

"Huh? That's ......," the girl's face suddenly showed a thoughtful look, "Could it be that I've become sensitive and suspicious lately?" ”

"Alright, let's have a meal, Lancelot is still waiting for us outside." I reminded with a little crying and laughing.

"Shirou......" The girl's tone softened again, "Just feed me a mouthful, okay?" I promise to eat obediently......"

"Whew...... Okay, okay. Seeing the girl's pleading look, my heart softened and agreed.

"Hee-hee."

Receiving my affirmative reply, the girl laughed happily.

…… The expression full of anticipation was too dazzling.

So much so that in just a moment, the original plan in my mind was completely rewritten.

"Artoria, sit down and don't move."

I began to get closer to the girl.

"Hmm...... Shirou's request will naturally be complied with, but what about the utensils and food in Shirou's hand? ”

Looking at my face, the girl looked like she didn't know why.

"Don't worry, I've brought them all."

While reaching out to press the girl's slender shoulder, I lowered my head and kissed it quickly.

"Uh-huh——!"

was suddenly attacked by me, and the girl was also a little unable to react.

Still, she complied with my wishes and actively cooperated with my actions.

"Shirou, what are you doing all of a sudden...... Didn't you say you'd feed me? “

The girl, who had regained her freedom after a while, asked me panting slightly.

"Did you taste it, Artoria? Just toast to taste. I winked at her.
