Chapter 117: Inner Voice
"Please don't say that...... No wonder everyone turned their attention to this side in the first place......"
Looking at Bedwell's innocent face, I couldn't stop laughing.
Are the Knights of the Round Table in Britain hopelessly aborted?
…………
"What about Skaha-senpai? And what about Buck? Why didn't you see them? ”
I pressed my mind and looked around but didn't see what I was looking for.
"Lord Emiya, Lord Skaha took Lord Buck to the border last night, claiming to be the first to prepare. Your subordinates thought you already knew......"
Bedwell lowered his head and said embarrassedly.
"Huh? Actually moved first? "I was a little surprised.
In this way, Senior Skaha went back to her room early last night to rest, and I thought she wanted to adjust her form for today's decisive battle. I didn't expect her to rush to the border with Buck last night.
What kind of preparation needs to be carried out secretly from me and the girl?
…………
"Forget Shirou, it's useless to think too much now. Since Sister Skaha has already gone to the border, it is natural that we can ask her when we reach our destination. Let's go, don't spend too much time here. ”
The blonde girl with my arms around her waist turned her head and reminded me softly in my ear with a blushing face.
"Okay, let's go." I nodded, motioning for Bedwell to give the order.
…………
"Lord Emiya has an order, all march!"
With Bediwell's high-pitched order, the entire British army began to march towards the border!
It was customary for the king to lead his army around the city of Camelot, thus giving confidence and hope to the people of the city.
…………
"Your Majesty, I beg you to bring us victory!"
"Grant Britain, Your Majesty, a lasting peace!"
"Your Majesty, may you grant us happiness and peace!"
On both sides of the streets of Camelot, the voices of the people were heard from all directions.
…………
In the face of the people's prays, the girl's beautiful face wore a courtesy smile, and her eyes calmly controlled the slow march of the war horse under our seat.
The circle around Camelot City is quickly completed, and the next step is to lead the army out of the Camelot gates.
At the gate, however, the maiden took hold of the reins and turned the horse's head around.
The girl's body on horseback fell straight into the eyes of many of the inhabitants of Camelot.
…………
The audience was silent.
Every resident hurriedly bowed down, not daring to look directly at the majestic gaze of the girl sweeping the audience.
"Camelot, this battle is a matter of life and death for Britain. For your sake, I will do my best to bring victory to Britain! The girl waved her hand violently, and the passionate words rang out!
…………
The crowd erupted in fierce cheers.
"Long live my king!"
"God bless my king!"
"May Britain be with the king!"
…………
However, the warm atmosphere of the audience did not slow down the girl's tense face in the slightest.
Raising her hand slightly, the girl motioned for silence.
"But that's all I can do. Your desire for a happy life should not be entirely pinned on me, but on your efforts. No matter what great dreams you have in your hearts, please start from this moment and use your hands and feet to realize it! ”
"If this battle is won, I will be king and provide you with complete and equal opportunities and inexhaustible resources so that every inhabitant of Britain can create the future he desires in accordance with his fundamental aspirations. This is what the Holy City of Camelot will truly give you! ”
With that, the girl turned around with the army and left, leaving behind the inhabitants who were whispering and talking left and right.
…………
Out of the Camelot, the army marched through the endless grasslands.
Today's sky is exceptionally clear, cloudless, and under the clear sunlight, it is even more dusty, clean and translucent.
In such good weather, even the drudgery of marching seems to be less tiring. What's more, some of the young soldiers with lively personalities even whistled as they walked their steps.
…………
And when it comes to the most restless guy in the whole team-
"Shirou, look, those sheep are running so happily, they must be happy because they got abundant water and grass!"
"Wow, there is a white scene on the top of Mount Ello, it must be snow. It's really beautiful! ”
"Hahaha, forget that today is the annual Mud Festival in the village of Wirtz! How interesting it is to see the villagers who grimace with dirt in their faces. But Shirou can't laugh out loud when he approaches, otherwise the good luck of the next year will be sucked away by the other party. ”
…………
The blonde girl, who is usually so serious that it is doubtful that she will not laugh, is now holding the reins of the horse sitting down with one hand, and is lying on her back in my arms, pointing something with the other hand.
While constantly introducing and exclaiming the scenery in her field of vision, the girl giggled and looked very happy.
The girl's cheerful laughter and playful words, together with her cute movements, brightened everything that was already shining in the sun. The surrounding soldiers were stunned.
…………
Lord Emiya, please confirm if the current state of our king is abnormal.
Bedwell rode quietly to my side and spoke to me silently.
Well, I know, actually, I care too.
After replying to Bedwell in this way, I settled down and said to the girl who pointed to a fruit tree not far away and wanted to say something to me:
"Artoria, you seem to be in a good mood. Did you encounter something happy? ”
…………
I thought that the girl would be as usual, and after being slightly stunned, she turned to explain something to me with a very serious expression.
However, when she heard my words this time, the smile on the girl's face did not decrease at all, but became a little more prosperous.
"Yes, just now, there was a feeling of enlightenment." The girl gently raised her hand and stretched out a cute but not contemptuous waist at all, and shrunk her whole body into my arms.
…………
"Hey, don't let go of the horse's reins suddenly, it's dangerous." I hurriedly took advantage of the length of my arms over the maiden, and pulled the reins to ensure that the horse did not lose control.
"What you said just now, could it be that you said to the residents of Camelot before you left?" I recalled the scene in my mind.
"Hmm. At that time, it was as if a voice suddenly popped into my head and asked me to convey that passage. And when I said that, I realized that it was the answer I had been searching for for years. ”
The girl looked at me with a calm and calm smile on her face.
