"Artoria ......"

I looked up again at this girl who I had repeatedly vowed to protect with my life.

At this moment, my eyes are probably as bright and bright as looking up at the starry sky.

Even if the body has been intertwined, even if the soul has been completely communed, even if everything has been renewed -

Spiritually, I'll always admire her.

That's not because of the glorious legend of the Knight King.

It's like looking up at the moonlight, hazy and elusive.

The girl had this incredible temperament.

Since arriving in Britain, we have faced new challenges and different adventures every day.

Little by little, the distance between the heart is closer, and the imprint goes deep from the body to the soul.

I took over the affairs of Camelot, and more and more power poured into my arms.

In addition to the position of the Knights, the girl named Artoria has gathered her light and become my foil with peace of mind.

But—

Even if I fall into hell one day, I remember that night vividly.

That night, the moon shone through the window, and the bright knight stood awe-inspiring before me.

"From this moment on, my sword is with you, and your destiny coexists with mine."

In a crisp but determined voice, she said so.

"At this point, the contract is established."

Yes, the contract was formed.

From that day on, there was nowhere else to put it in my heart.

From that moment on, there was no other way to see the eyes.

Even after countless years, I am destined to sink into it, and I can't extricate myself.

Because, those turquoise eyes are the shackles that cannot be broken free from in this life and this life......

For the rest of my life, I can only live by looking up to that figure.

“…… It's horrible. ”

I laughed, and I didn't even understand why I was laughing,

"Shirou? What are you talking about? ”

The girl in front of her tilted her head slightly, and her delicate face showed a puzzled expression.

- It's so cute that it can't be helped.

This action.

"Artoria, I might ...... No, it's sure that you won't be able to escape the palm of your hand for the rest of your life. I looked at her face, and my heart was only full of tenderness, "My life can only revolve around you forever." Isn't it scary, you say? ”

“……”

Was it surprised by my remarks, the girl opened her mouth in surprise.

But then, she laughed softly.

Leaning over, I sat on the ground with my hands on my knees, and the girl was face to face with me.

"If I'm terrible, then Shirou is cunning." The corners of her good-looking mouth were slightly raised, and her beautiful smile seemed to recall the fragrant memory, "Let me, a king admired by all people, become a little girl who suffers from gains and losses in front of you." Every day all I think about is you, even if you leave for a while, you will panic. You say cunning is not cunning? ”

"Hahaha......"

We both looked at each other for a moment, then laughed in unison.

As this burst of laughter blended into each other, the contradictions and uneasiness accumulated over the past few days disappeared at this moment.

We laughed like this for a long, long time, until we were completely exhausted on both sides.

However, because we are far from being satisfied with each other, we replace it with a long kiss to continue the mood of the last moment.

A warm liquid that flows slowly through both mouths.

The mood has never been calmer.

Because, what is in the heart, what is in the heart-

The unquenchable longing is right in front of you.

"Shirou, while it's still dark, let's get down to business."

After a moment, the girl gently raised her hand and touched my chest.

"Huh? Do you want to do it again? I scratched my head, "Actually, I think it's nice to be like this." ”

Like Fang Cai, each other's hearts are completely fused together, without separating each other in the slightest.

I think it's the best not only for me, but also for Artoria.

If something further happens, it's a bit of a stretch of force.

"Hmm...... In fact, if it was normal times, I would have obediently let Shirou sleep in his arms for one night. The girl pursed her lips, "But, after all, you're going to see the misbehaving Roman Emperor tomorrow morning, so ......"

"So?"

I asked in a daze.

"Oh yes...... I must pour out all of Shirou's desires and make sure you won't be seduced by her! The girl slammed her fist into my chest with a little force, "Really...... I have to be a girl to say such embarrassing things......"

The moonlight penetrated through the cracks in the tent and fell onto the girl's body.

Under the bright light, her slender and perfect body emitted a faint fluorescence, and the innocent fragrance entered her nostrils.

In the embrace, the soft and delicate skin is like the most perfect satin, just a light touch is the best enjoyment.

Under this top-level impact of sight, sound, and touch, no man can keep his senses.

"That's ...... What do you say......"

Swallowing my saliva, I pulled the quilt over the two of us......

——

Following.

Early in the morning, I walked out of the tent.

Looking at the rising sun in the sky, I felt refreshed and stretched hard.

It's a new day.

"Good morning, Eimiya-sama." Lancelot walked up to me and saluted respectfully before adding, "Have you ever seen the king?" She hasn't been seen since last night. ”

"Haha, don't worry, Artoria is sleeping soundly in it. Don't bother her just yet. ”

I smiled and pointed to the tent behind me.

"Oh, I see!"

Lancelot's face had a blank expression.

"Tut-tut, this kind of treatment is really enviable. The next time I have the chance, I'll definitely take Guinevere with me on my expedition. Lancelot smacked his lips repeatedly, "Occasionally, if you change the environment, maybe you will feel different." ”

"Ahem...... Go now. I laughed and said, "I have only arrived in the Kingdom of the Franks, and we are not too far from Britain." I guess it will take at least a few days to go to Rome, and it's perfectly in time for you to go back and pick up Guinevere now. ”

Although it didn't take long to get back and forth to Rome from the scouts who had been to the Roman Empire before, it must be considered that Emperor Nero was an extremely troublesome being.

It is estimated that there will inevitably be emergencies at that time, and many things are difficult to say now.

"Huh? Is it really possible, Emiya-sama? Lancelot was surprised and delighted, "But my king's side, if you don't agree......"

"You say I gave the order." I smiled and shook my head, "Hurry up, it's only a few days before I can let you move freely, and I won't have such a good opportunity after that." ”
