"Hoo ......"

Looking at the fierce fighting spirit of the soldiers in the audience, I was also deeply relieved.

I've never been the kind of person who is good at guiding others, and I thought that I would be lucky if I didn't make a fool of myself during this pre-war mobilization.

Unexpectedly, after a speech that did not go through the brain at all, the effect was unexpectedly good?

…………

"How? I'm not saying anything wrong, am I? I turned my head and whispered a little nervously to the two behind me.

"How is it possible, Lord Emiya, your mobilization is really amazing!" Bedwell gave me a straight thumbs up, her eyes filled with reverence, "Is it really the first time you've spoken in front of everyone?" In the eyes of his subordinates, even if the former Knights of the Round Table encouraged their soldiers, they could not make the morale so high. For so many years, there has only been such a unity when the king himself commanded the army! ”

"It's not that exaggerated......!" I couldn't help but be surprised, "Bedwell, even if you mean to compliment, it's too heavy!" ”

…………

"That's not all, Bedwell." At this time, the blonde girl shook her head slightly and said, "All I can do is to strengthen your morale and make the will to fight stronger and unbreakable." Shirou, on the other hand, can create a reason and meaning for his men to fight, which I can't do. ”

"Artoria, how can I even do you like this. How much ability do I have, even if others don't know, don't you know? I said helplessly.

"Yes, I know Shirou's skills very well, but Shirou himself doesn't know himself at all!" The girl turned around and looked at my face very seriously, "Mr. Merlin and Sister Skaha have said that Shirou is just too unconfident, and habitually sees himself as if he is not good at anything. But the truth is the opposite, as long as you work hard to do, nothing can't be done. ”

"That's it, I'll talk about this later, and the top priority is to repel Iskandar first." As I spoke, I stepped on horseback first.

The maiden and Bedwell followed suit.

…………

"All the cavalry mounted, and the infantry followed in the rear!" Bedwell waved his hand, and a loud voice reverberated through the audience, "Ready to go!" ”

The soldiers obeyed their orders one after another, and made preparations for the battle in an orderly manner according to Bediwell's instructions.

Suddenly, there was a commotion among the cavalry troops.

…………

"What's going on?" Bedwell frowned, jumped off his horse and walked over.

A moment later, Bedwell returned, looking a little unsightly.

"Tell my king and Lord Weigong. A cavalryman's horse suddenly fell ill and was unable to participate in the battle normally. ”

…………

"Does Camelot still have horses? Let's see if we can find a temporary replacement. The girl's expression was very calm, and she did not show any panic due to the sudden situation.

"My king, this seems to be very difficult." Bediwell's face was grim, "In order to prepare for today's decisive battle, all the British horses have been gathered and distributed to the cavalry. At the moment, only ordinary horses can be used. However, if ordinary horses are used by the people, it is difficult for the horses to cooperate with the military formation without training. ”

“…… If this is the case, then the only way to let the soldier temporarily abandon his status as a cavalry in this battle and fight like the other infantry with a short sword and spear. The maiden pondered for a moment before saying, "Tell him that Britain has been enhanced by his valor, both in cavalry and infantry." ”

…………

"Yes, my king. The subordinates will go to convey it. Bediwell nodded, and turned away.

"Wait, Bediwell, it doesn't have to be this way." I shook my head and called out to Bedwell from behind.

"Lord Emiya, what are your orders?" Bediwell bowed to me in response.

"Give my horse to the soldier." I jumped off the horse, slapped the saddle twice with my palm, and said to Bedwell.

…………

"Huh? But Einomiya-sama, what are you riding yourself? Bediwell's eyes widened.

"That's a question, of course......" I smiled and moved my gaze to the girl.

"Woo......" The blonde girl, who seemed to understand something, lowered her head a little in confusion when she saw my eyes.

"Yes, Artoria, I'll sit in the back and let you control the reins, so you can save some effort."

"......" the girl nodded with a blushing face.

…………

So, with a leap of my feet, I sat down very easily in the saddle behind the girl, and at the same time put my arms around her slender and flexible waist.

"What are you looking at? Hand over the horses. Smiling at a slightly stunned Bediwell, I reminded.

"Ah...... Yes. Yes, sir...... Emiya-sama. ”

Bediwell quickly closed his mouth, which had been opened in utter astonishment, and led the horse I had let out flash into the tumultuous cavalry.

…………

I don't know how Bedwell explained, but the soldiers suddenly turned their eyes to the horse on which I was riding with the girl.

After a moment of consternation, they erupted in shocking cheers!

"Good! Long live our king! Long live Emiya-sama! ”

…………

It was also thanks to those soldiers that the rest of the soldiers who had not noticed this scene also saw the posture of me and the girl.

"Long live my king! Long live Emiya-sama! ”

The loud and neat shouts like slogans have endured for a long time, piercing the sky!

………，

"It's all strange Shirou for making claims, and now we've both been looked down on!" The girl covered her face in my arms without relaxation, full of shyness.

"This ...... It's not that big of a problem, isn't it that big of a problem, anyway, after returning from the Shadow Country, didn't we make our relationship public in the same way? I whispered comfort in the girl's ear.

"Uh......h Even so, it's still strange to be watched like this by everyone......" The girl writhed uneasily, "I don't want to be seen as an unqualified knight who is still in love before the decisive battle." ”

…………

At this time, Bediwell also ran back briskly in a sweat.

"I'm so sorry...... My King...... Emiya-sama. Bediwell bent down and gasped for a few breaths, quickly adjusting his form, "due to the unexpected situation when he came back. As a result, his subordinates are now able to return to their lives. ”

"It doesn't matter. Can you tell me, Bedwell, how you explained to the knight about the horses? I looked at Bediwell and asked calmly.

"Lord Weigong, my subordinates just said, this is your horse, please be sure to love and cherish that soldier, and then for some reason everyone became extremely excited, neither the tone nor the semantics could be understood at all."

Bediwell said with an aggrieved face.
