Chapter 176: Matthew's Tears
The spacious campus has lost any life at the moment, and the surrounding scene is illuminated by the dim red firelight, giving people a sense of broken death. Walking alone in the empty corridor, there were echoes all around, which made people feel a little chilled in their hearts. Looking out into the classroom from the corridor, the desks and chairs in the classroom strolled messily on the ground, as if the students had experienced a great panic and wanted to flee before disappearing.
And when she walked to a corner, she found a girl with short pink hair, Zhengmu was stunned looking at the sky, and her right hand was pressed on the badge of the huge round shield, subconsciously following the outline of the badge, constantly stroking, maybe thinking of something, her eyes revealed a trace of faint sadness that was difficult to hide.
"Fu~!"
The slight sound of the sound instantly alarmed Fufu, who was sitting on Matthew's shoulder, and the little one raised his tail vigilantly and turned his head. However, after seeing that the visitor was his other owner, he decisively lowered his tail and called very affectionately.
"Senpai!"
Fufu's call also woke up Matthew, who was contemplative, and when she saw the visitor, she hurriedly put away her slightly sad thoughts, and then turned around, smiled at Firena, and walked slowly towards her.
"Matthew ......"
Although Matthew hid it well, the sharp-eyed Firena still read the sadness in her heart from her eyes at this moment.
Looking at the huge shield that did not match her petite stature at all, and looking at her melancholy eyes, Firena's heart instantly had an urge to tell her real name directly, but after thinking about it again, she still gave up on this idea. Because in her eyes, Firena saw a trace of confusion and unconfidence.
But this is also normal, although today's Matthew can be said to have experienced several battles, compared to before, it has also grown a lot, but I have to say that compared to the continuous experience in the game and anime, showing her absolute style, now she, under the light of Lancelot, Cú Chulainn and Qianxue, seems to be so dull and has no sense of existence.
But what maybe even Matthew himself doesn't know is that it is precisely because she has been comparing herself with others that her strength has also created her now, which is much stronger than herself when she appeared in anime games. It's just that Lancelot's light is too strong, and it obscures the light that Matthew emits, and she has been unable to release the treasure, which has caused her heart to become like this, always inferior.
Looking at the stubborn schoolgirl standing in front of her, Firena looked at her with pity, and then said softly:
"Matthew, it's still ...... Anything about the Noble Phantasm? ”
“…… Well. ”
After hesitating for a long time, Matthew nodded and responded softly, and then lowered her head in shame, a little afraid to face Firena's fiery gaze, as a servant, but she didn't know her identity as a heroic spirit, and she couldn't use the treasure, which was undoubtedly the most failed place as a servant.
"Although I am very ashamed to say it myself......"
After hesitating again, Matthew lowered his head and stroked the mysterious badge on his shield with his hand. Through the gap between her hair, Firena could clearly see that her eyes revealed a strong unwillingness and sorrow, which made people want to love and pity.
"But...... Although I have done my best in the previous battle under the instructions of my seniors and Lancelot, I ...... No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't use the Noble Phantasm, and I didn't even understand how to release the Noble Phantasm. ”
The voice was very soft, but there was a hint of choking and indescribable sadness in this moving voice, and he raised his head slightly, looking at Firena's lilac eyes, there was also a faint trace of water, biting his lip, Matthew continued:
"I don't know how to use the treasure, it's like a car that has lost its wheels, although it has no shape, but it can't be changed after all, the fact that I'm a flawed servant ......"
"Fu~!" As if sensing the sadness of her master, Fufu, who was standing on her shoulder, couldn't help but call softly.
Looking at the tears in Matthew's eyes, Firena's heart was not good, and she wanted to say something to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, and she couldn't think of any proper words after thinking about it for a long time, so she had to say softly:
"Matthew, have you been pushing yourself......
"No, I'm fine."
Shaking his head, Mathieu pretended to smile, signaling that Firena was fine, and then lowered his head again, put his hands in fists on his chest, and said softly:
"I'm very happy to be able to become a servant of your predecessor and conclude a contract, as Miss Qianxue said, as a master, you are undoubtedly a first-class existence, so whether it is Lancelot, or Miss Qianxue, or even Cúchulainn, who joined later, their strength as a servant is a first-class existence. They are like the stars in the sky, silently guarding your predecessors. ”
After a pause, Matthew's hand on his chest began to tremble, and his voice became low again.
"However, I am the only one, a crippled servant, not only can I not use the treasure, but even in battle, I can't compare to any of them. In the face of the last confrontation between Cuchulainn and Darius III, the aftermath of the energy generated, even with Lancelot in front of him, I still fainted because I was too weak. Compared to them as starlight, my strength is nothing more than a grass on the ground. ”
"Tick~!" A crystal splash of water silently slipped from the corner of Matthew's eyes and dripped onto her clenched hands in front of her chest, splashing a little teardrop.
"Fu~!" Fufu, who was standing on her shoulder, saw Matthew bowing her head and crying secretly, so she couldn't help but scream softly, and stretched out her head to lick the tear stains on her face.
However, this time, Matthew did not pay attention to Fufu's call, but clenched his hands on his chest even harder, and said in a choked voice:
"Although I once said that as an immature practitioner, I will try my best to help my seniors more hard, but in the end, I found that not only did I fail to help my seniors with anything, but I needed your care everywhere."
After Matthew said this, a tear continued to drip like a pearl, and a suppressed sob, as if it wanted to come from the depths of her soul, scattered in the corridor, played a sad music, even the fire burning outside, could not help but dim a little because of it.
