Chapter 178: Untying the Knot
After listening to Firena's last words, Matthew finally knew what she wanted to express to herself.
However, as she was about to say something, she noticed that Firena had put her index finger to her mouth, and then shook her head, signaling herself to keep quiet.
Fearing that Firena's surprise attack would overwhelm her, Matthew had no choice but to swallow the words back into her throat and continue to listen to her words.
"Now, you know, Matthew."
After that sudden kiss, Matthew's emotions now don't seem to be as intense as they were just now. Holding Matthew's face gently with both hands, Firena looked up at her tear-filled face, and couldn't help but use her hands to wipe away the tears that were still hanging on her face one by one, and then said with self-reproach:
"In my opinion, Matthew has always been a strong girl, if you didn't say these words to me just now, maybe I will always ignore your feelings, this is the most unqualified thing about me, as a master."
Perhaps the impression in the anime and games is too deep, causing Matthew to always be the image of a strong girl holding a shield and guarding her side in Firena's impression, so she ignores her now, just an ignorant girl who has just changed from a human to a sub-servant, and everything is very rusty.
Looking at the pear-like girl in front of her, Firena was very honest about her shortcomings. This time she is indeed the master, considering her as the master, and considering the factors of inconsiderate things are in it.
However, in the face of Firena's self-blame, Matthew just kept shaking his head, and his eyes revealed a feeling of guilt, and then he half-squatted down and said guiltily:
"But it's not your fault senior, it's obviously because I'm too weak, so weak that I can't even know what my treasure is."
"Fool, remember what I just said, the more important things are, the more often they come later. And when it does, it will show its greatest power, and your Noble Phantasm is like that, and when it does, even Lancelot and the others may be amazed. β
Looking at Matthew, who had been denying herself, Firena pinched her cheek with some annoyance. With the twist of Firena's fingers, her elastic face constantly changed shapes.
But it didn't take long for Firena to stop her movements under Matthew's protesting eyes, and then said with a smile:
"And Matthew, you, are not a weak servant, as CΓΊ Chulainn said, with the heroic spirit attached to you, you are a first-class existence. And you, who have received his inheritance, how can you be weak. β
With a roll of her eyes, Firena seemed to think of something, and then looked at Matthew's lilac eyes, and said very seriously and seriously:
"Maybe you don't think it yourself, but as a bystander, I can clearly feel that your strength is not weaker than that of Lancelot and any of them. And if you want me to see, Matthew, if you fight against any of them, you may be the one who wins. β
"Please don't be kidding, senpai. How could a flawed Heroic Spirit like me defeat Lancelot, even if they didn't use a Noble Phantasm, I would never be their opponent. β
After hearing Firena's words, Matthew couldn't help but shake her head self-deprecatingly, as a servant, no one knows better than her how capable she is.
Lancelot how strong they are, in the previous battles, she has a very clear understanding, even if they don't use the treasure, their combat power is definitely the top existence, and it is not at all comparable to a sub-servant like her, who can't even release the treasure.
"Don't jump to conclusions without trying it, Matthew. In my eyes, you are more powerful than them, whether it is from an ordinary person to a sub-servant, or those heroic battles, I have seen every progress you make. β
On the other side, after seeing Matthew's gaze begin to fall silent again, Firena's eyes couldn't help but roll again, and then narrowed her eyes slightly, and after wiping the tears on her face, she said to her with a smile:
"Maybe you think I'm saying this with too much emotion and not convincing enough."
"No, I don't mean to disbelieve my seniors, it's just that I know that I'm just a weak ......"
After listening to Firena's words, Matthew hurriedly waved her hand and shook her head, wanting to deny her claim, but the more Matthew tried to express her thoughts, the more she deviated from the meaning she originally wanted to say, and in the end, she could only give up her words, staring at Firena's gaze, and shaking her head silently.
"Yes, yes, I know Matthew didn't mean that."
Looking at Matthew, who was anxious but unable to express what she meant, Firena smiled and stroked her smooth face, and then said:
"Why don't you do that, Matthew, I'll give you a task that I must complete. Now you go and find any of the three of them, Lancelot, and then try it out, and then you will find that even if you are a sub-servant, even if you can't use the Noble Phantasm, you are no worse than them. And if you try more with the Heroic Spirits, you may be able to use the Noble Phantasm. β
Perhaps thinking that this was inappropriate, Firena shook her head, and then continued:
"Just Matthew, you just go directly to Lancelot and try it with him, I believe that he, who is known as the ideal knight, will definitely uphold the principles of knighthood and will not release water in battle."
"But wouldn't that disturb Mr. Lancelot......
After thinking about it carefully, Matthew felt that what his master said was not unreasonable, maybe in the battle with the servant, he could better grasp the release of the treasure, so he was quite moved, but he was worried that it would affect Lancelot, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Retracting her hands from Matthew's face, looking at Matthew, who had gradually regained her composure at this time, Firena couldn't help but show a faint smile, and then cheered her up quite confidently:
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. I believe that Lancelot, as a knight, will never refuse the request of a beautiful girl. And I'm sure you'll be able to defeat Lancelot, Matthew. β
"Sure enough, senior, you are the same as Qianxue said, you are a very good master."
Gently holding Firena's hand, Matthew smiled a very sweet smile in her shocked eyes, and then whispered:
"Thank you, Master. I'm really happy to be able to sign a contract with you, a senior. β
