Chapter 19: Kai
Seeing the intimacy between the two, I couldn't help but laugh.
It's a good relationship.
…………
Legend has it that Kai was the only son of Sir Eckert and the brother-in-law of the Knight King.
Unlike Sir Eckert as a teacher, and Merlin as an adjutant, Kay is the only companion for the girl from childhood to adulthood.
Therefore, I was not surprised at all by this pure brother-sister relationship, and I did not feel a little jealous.
…………
"I said, you can almost come down......" After a while, seeing that the girl was still firmly hanging on him, the young man reminded helplessly.
"Brother, are you thinking I'm getting heavier?" The girl's face sank deliberately.
"How dare you...... As long as you want, let you hang for a week without any problem. It's just that you have a lover now, so you're not afraid ......" The young man's face turned to me.
…………
"Ahh The girl screamed and hurriedly jumped off the young man.
"Shirou, it's not like that, I'm just ......," the girl explained to me in a hurry.
"Ah, I didn't say anything." The girl's chaotic appearance contrasts sharply with her usual calm and calm personality, which I find very interesting.
…………
"Sir Kay, hello, my name is ......" I stepped forward, intending to introduce myself to the youth.
Kai is also the girl's brother-in-law, and this special relationship also makes me feel a lot more cautious.
…………
"Emiya-sama, we've already met once before, have you forgotten?" Unexpectedly, it was the young man who called my name first.
"Huh?"
I was amazed in my heart, and carefully remembered when I had seen the face of the young man. But no matter how much I thought about it, I didn't get anything.
…………
The young man laughed and tilted his head to the side again.
When he turned back again, the young man had a familiar face.
…………
“……! You're the groom of the horse farm! "Maybe because of the short time interval, I was able to get my memory back all at once.
When I was discouraged by the unsuccessful pursuit of the girl who had left Camelot, it was the horseman at the horse farm who used words to regain my self-confidence.
At that time, I felt that the groom had an extraordinary temperament, not like ordinary people. But I didn't expect that it was actually Kai the Knight of the Round Table pretending!
…………
"Brother, have you been at Camelot all these days? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were still alive? Hearing this, the girl looked at the young man in surprise.
"This ...... It's all because of Lord Merlin's request. "Restore your appearance to its original appearance," the young man explained.
"Merlin? Brother saw him? Hearing this, the girl immediately asked.
…………
"Yes. Originally, I was seriously injured in Kamran and was already on the verge of death. At this moment, it seemed as if time had completely stood still around me, and Lord Merlin suddenly appeared in front of me. He asked me if I would like to live and continue my mission. The young man spoke eloquently.
The girl just listened attentively and did not speak.
"Of course I agreed to such a good thing. You know, the number of women I've slept with is nowhere near the goal...... Ahem, it's far away, my sister don't show that disgusted expression, it's just a joke...... In short, Merlin used magic to heal my injuries, restore my body to the state of eighteen, and teach me the ability to change my appearance freely. From that day on, I stayed at the Camelot as a newly appointed groom. ”
…………
"So, your encouragement to me, including coming to the Shadow Nation this time, is also Merlin's order?" Thinking back to the previous scene, I couldn't help but ask.
"This ...... Not quite. Lord Merlin told me that Artoria would soon be traveling to the Shadow Country, and that I was sure to follow and protect me secretly. But at that time, when I saw the dejected look of Lord Emiya, my heart unconsciously became angry. ”
"Huh? As for that? "I can't help but wonder.
"Of course!" The young man's suddenly raised voice startled me, "I'm just such a sister, if I hand her over to a guy who always has no confidence in myself, how can my brother-in-law rest assured?!" ”
"......" I was speechless.
It seems that there is a kind of person in the world called Sister Control ......?
…………
"Brother......!" The girl's cheeks flushed when she heard this, and she complained in a low voice.
"Haha, Lord Weigong, you really have a set, and you actually completely captured my sister's heart. You must know that even if it is me, I have never seen my sister blush. Hehe, my sister is now completely a girl in love. ”
Seeing the girl's shy appearance, the young man's words not only did not restrain himself, but became more presumptuous.
I can only smile bitterly at this.
…………
It has long been rumored that Kai has a temperament and is open-mouthed.
Now it seems that real people are really inferior to rumors......
If you want to say that the performance of the round table is the farthest away from the knight in people's impressions, it is probably Kai.
…………
"By the way, Kai, did you tell your father that you're still alive? It seems to me that Sir Eckert does not know about this. "Suddenly remembering the gloomy look on Sir Ackert at the mention of his son, I could not resist asking the young man.
"No, no one in this world knows I'm alive except for you and Lord Merlin. This was a request from Lord Merlin, who said that I could not reveal my identity to anyone unrelated until I had completed my mission. Hearing Sir Eckert's name, the young man's expression was also a little sad.
"Shirou, what's going on? Have you ever met your father? The girl couldn't help but interject.
Then I remembered that I had not explained this matter to the girl.
So I told the maiden in detail all the things that had happened when I met Sir Eckert.
…………
"It's really surprising that my father is living in seclusion near Camelot. But why didn't my father want to hold an official position in Camelot? Even if you just get an honorary position, you can live a much better life than you do now. The girl shook her head.
"My sister, please forgive me. My father left a handwritten letter and disappeared a long time ago, and I just learned about my father's whereabouts from Lord Merlin. The young man apologized, "Also, it may cause you to be offended, but please remember that your father is ......."
"My father, Sir Eckert! Any questions? The girl stared straight into the young man's eyes, forcing the latter to swallow back the unfinished words.
…………
"My king, it is a subordinate who has lost his word, and I ask for your forgiveness." After a moment of silence, Kai finally got down on one knee and saluted the girl.
"Kaiqing, you must remember that Yusher is only my nominal father. Although I will always call myself King Uther's son-in-law when I call myself home, it was Sir Eckert who raised me, and it was Qing who accompanied me through my childhood. All I know is that Uther has never seen me even once. That's it, but ...... Even his mother never cared about it once! ”
The last sentence was uttered by the girl almost through gritted teeth.
…………
"My king...... This may not be the case. Who can say what happened back then...... Anytime, the present is more worth chasing than it used to be. Kai bowed his head deeply, his lively tone now completely replaced by solemnity.
"That's what I want to say. The king of Britain is now I, not Uther! You are not allowed to mention Yuser in the future! ”
The girl's seemingly resolute words reveal the pain that has been buried deep in her heart since she was born.
