After the two of them left, I was left with an embarrassed face.

There is no way, Artoria leaves the army, then I must take over her burden for the time being, and I can't go anywhere but here......

And even if I can leave, I am afraid that it will make the situation more complicated.

"Lord Emiya, please don't be anxious. Wang Shang and Miss Joan of Arc are both extremely strong in their own right, and there must be no problem with each other's cooperation. Lancelot comforted me, "We just have to wait." ”

"You're right, Lancelot."

Looking at his clear and loyal eyes, I could only smile bitterly and nod again and again.

He didn't know what the real reason for my distress was......

"Let's rest for a while, and wait for Joan of Arc and Artoria to come back before making the next move."

I gave orders to the people.

The army, which had been hurrying all morning, rested on the spot.

Probably bored from being alone, the knights gradually gathered around me and began to talk about everyday topics.

Presumably, Artoria puts too much pressure on them on weekdays, so I'm easier to get close to with my relatively easy-going personality.

The knights talked about a wide range of topics, from poetry and etiquette to architecture and astronomy, and talked and laughed about almost everything.

The nobles of this era know so much knowledge - I can't help but sigh.

Naturally, it is difficult for ordinary people like me, who grew up normally, to find a common language with them. I couldn't interject for a long time. So I just sat there and nodded and smiled from time to time.

But that's fine, if my presence can make the atmosphere relaxing and lively, then it's valuable.

"Oops...... You say, who is more beautiful, the king or Miss Joan? ”

Probably after chatting for a long time, and his scruples were lowered, a knight suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

“……”

The crowd, who had been discussing enthusiastically, was silent for a moment.

"How...... What's the matter, everyone suddenly stopped talking? ”

The knight looked around and asked, puzzled.

"Orm, are you stupid? Eimiya-sama is here, and you actually ask this kind of question in front of him? ”

The knight beside him hurriedly reached out and pulled his armour.

"Yes...... What does it matter, who in the whole Camelot doesn't know that the relationship between the king and the Lord of the Guardian Palace is unshakable and firm to the gods of the world? The knight scratched his head and looked at me with some embarrassment, "That ...... Emiya-sama, you wouldn't care if I asked, would you? ”

"Well, Camelot doesn't have a convention of restricting speech, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't care." I couldn't help but touch my nose and said with a wry smile, "Only this time ......"

In fact, I have a good relationship with these knights in private, and it is not uncommon for me to joke with each other.

But what the knight just said did give me an urge to avoid it.

"Hehe, did you hear it, Lord Weigong himself said that he didn't care, and you guys are still so cautious." However, the knight also seemed to be a straight gut, and he didn't give me a chance to finish the second half of the sentence at all, and directly interrupted and smiled at the knights around him, "Besides, in the half month that Miss Joan of Arc came to Camelot, who of you hasn't secretly compared her with the king in your heart?" ”

“……”

When the knights heard this, their faces lowered their heads unnaturally.

Looking at the way they looked, it seemed that they were completely right!

"No......"

I couldn't help but cover my face.

Are these usually awe-inspiring knights so gossiping in private?

"Ahem...... I think the king is better, right? After a while, a knight whispered, "Miss Joan of Arc, though she is also a beautiful woman, always gives people a sense of sacrosanctity, and can only be watched from afar. And the king ...... At least we can fight alongside her, can't we? ”

"Hmm...... Even so, it's even more fascinating to get something that you can't get, right? However, the knight soon retorted, "When I first saw Miss Joan of Arc, it was as if I had met an angel. The feeling of being filled with light and being incomparably bright is still deeply remembered. Sure enough, spiritual faith is the ultimate goal of a person's life. ”

Can you stop talking about this topic again......

I tried to say this, but I was too shy to do so.

As a result, more and more knights joined the discussion, and eventually even split into two camps and argued fiercely with each other.

Somewhat surprisingly, the number of people on Joan of Arc's side and Artoria's side were roughly the same. This has also created a situation in which neither of the two sides can convince the other, and no effective conclusion can be reached for half a day.

"I said what's the use of us discussing here for so long, just ask the person concerned." At this moment, a knight stood up, pointed to me who was surrounded in the middle, and said loudly, "If you want to say that the person in this world who is closest to the king and Miss Joan of Arc at the same time, isn't it Lord Emiya?" ”

Finished...... This time it was innocently affected.

"That's right, it goes without saying that the king and Lord Weigong get along day and night, and Miss Joan of Arc was also brought back from outside by Lord Weigong, so she will never leave an inch as long as she has the opportunity. Tut-tut......"

"Damn, it's really jealous, and the king doesn't think it's enough to add a Miss Joan of Arc? If it were someone else, I would have to sanction him! ”

"Haha, this is the charm of Lord Emiya, it's useless for you to envy. Seeing that he usually doesn't show his water, but beautiful women take the initiative to stick to him! Think about it, how can there be a girl who is familiar with Lord Weigong who is not a peerless beauty? ”

The knights' eyes fell on me and began to talk.

"Hurry up, Lord Emiya, who do you think is more beautiful? Your Majesty? Or Miss Joan of Arc? ”

Finally, all the knights unified their voices and asked me in unison, who was surrounded in the middle.

"This ...... I can't say ......."

Embarrassed, I straightened up on my tiptoes and asked for help from Lancelot and the others on the sidelines.

Lancelot, however, only smiled wryly and looked helpless at me.

And Kai was even more excessive, looking at me with even gloating in his eyes.

Bedwell, who was the only one who could save me in this situation, was staying at Camelot at the moment, and she couldn't count on it at all.

In other words, I was left on my own.

"Alas...... Why is this happening......"

With a sigh, I looked back at the knights' expectant eyes and felt a headache.

- This is probably the so-called Shura Field.
