"Then the subordinates retired." With that, Bedwell went down, she still had a lot of work to do.

As the deputy head of the Knights of the Round Table, she was responsible for almost all the small work, as she had just found time to report the situation.

…………

I picked up a document that was in front of me and quickly scanned it with my eyes again.

This is a list of the dispositions and arrangements of all British armies. The next morning, the girl laid it out and presented it to me. During this time, whenever I have free time, I will carefully memorize each of the above points to ensure that there are no mistakes in the decisive battle.

"Take a break, Shirou." The girl walked slowly to my side and said softly, "You haven't stopped working since early in the morning. This kind of overload is very bad for the body. ”

"There's no way, I'm going to personally command the decisive battle tomorrow, and I always feel very uneasy if I don't plan the strategy in my heart." Throwing the familiar planner on the table, I smiled helplessly at the girl beside me.

…………

"It's okay, as long as it's Shirou, there will be no problem." The girl gently sat on my legs and buried her whole face in my chest.

"Don't have blind faith in me, I don't know what will happen tomorrow." Gently stroking the girl's soft hair, I sighed, "Speaking of which, Artoria, you have listed the plan, you will fight in person." ”

"Well, after all, I am the commander of the front line, and I must advance and retreat with the army." The girl nodded in my arms, "Leave the battle ahead to me, and Shirou will be in control of the overall situation in the command headquarters in the rear." ”

"There's no better way?" I frowned.

…………

That's why I've been hesitant for days.

I left Artoria alone in the most dangerous places, and I hid in the safest places to enjoy it.

No matter what the reasons I tried, I couldn't convince myself to do so.

…………

"Shirou, you're too worried." The girl raised her head, her green eyes looking straight into my eyes, "I can only maximize my leadership and morale when I am fully integrated into the army under my command." Shirou's observation of the battlefield is more open, and he must choose a safe rear to control the overall situation. The existing plans are the ones that best fit our individual characteristics. ”

"I know that, too. But this is the first time that we have to act separately from beginning to end. I lowered my head and kissed the girl's smooth forehead, "I'm really worried that something will happen to you." ”

"That's why Shirou has to fulfill his duties even more." The girl smiled at me indifferently, "I guarantee that I and the soldiers on the front line can retreat at any time." ”

…………

"Artoria, you ......" The girl's words not only did not give me the slightest relief, but the pressure was even greater.

According to her, she can say that she has put her life in my hands!

"Shirou, I said a long time ago, I am your sword." The girl's expression was a little resolute, "You just need to use me as much as you want, and you don't have to worry about anything." ”

"It's not just Lily, I'm going to be your gun, too." At this time, a mature female voice came from the door, "I hope you can use me well." ”

…………

"Sister Skaha!" The girl turned her head in surprise and screamed.

"Good evening, Skaha-senpai." I smiled and said hello to Skaha, who was walking slowly.

"Tsk, the relationship is really good." Skaha smiled as he looked at me and the girl sitting together, "But in the face of a big fight, it's also a great way to relieve stress. ”

…………

Skaha's words were still as amused as usual, but I wasn't in the mood to deal with Skaha's jokes at this time.

"Skaha-senpai, your name is not on the plan." I looked directly at Skaha in front of me, "After all, you're not British, so there's no need to fight a battle that doesn't belong to you. ”

"Kid, where are you?" Skaha's majestic red eyes glared at me, "I'm not British, you're not even a Westerner, haven't you become the commander of the decisive battle?" ”

"It's different." I smiled wryly and said, "I'm fighting for Artoria." Whether he was in charge of Camelot's politics or as commander of the British army, this was the fundamental purpose. ”

"Then, I'll be able to exist as a little imp for you and Lily's guardian." Skaha smiled and said, "The two of you always bring me a lot of new joy together. So I hope that Camelot's time will continue, and that you will be happy with each other. ”

…………

"Sister Skaha......" Listening to the sincere emotions in Skaha's words, the girl's eyes gradually turned red.

"Of course, again, don't expect me to make much of a difference." Skaha shrugged and said, "I'm just an ordinary warrior. If you don't dislike it, the imp can send me to your heart's content. ”

"Understood. With the help of Skaha's seniors and Artoria, even if the other party is the famous Iskander, I will definitely not have the slightest fear! Taking a deep breath, I nodded heavily.

"Good momentum. The most important thing in marching and fighting is aura, if you show the enemy weakness first, you will be defeated without a fight. Skaha nodded approvingly, "Rest early tonight, after all, there are some stresses that only Lily can help you with." ”

Skaha sighed as he said pointedly.

…………

"You're laughing." I couldn't laugh or cry.

Skaha walked away satisfied.

…………

The empty council hall except for me and the girl made the atmosphere full of static oppression.

"Artoria, how about we go out for a walk?" Feeling a little depressed in my heart, I couldn't help but ask the girl sitting in my arms.

"Well, that's what I'm planning to do." The girl nodded and jumped off my lap and took my hand, "Shirou has been staying indoors these days, so it's time to get out and get some air." ”

…………

I stood up and was about to take the girl by the hand and walk out.

And at this time—

"Oops, since you want to breathe, how about going to a more natural place?" A clear, magnetic and beautiful male voice rang in our ears without warning.

…………

"Who is it?" I asked vigilantly, looking left and right.

For some reason, it always felt familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere not long ago.
