Chapter 177: A Way to Calm Down
(Unexpectedly, because of his arrival, although it directly enhanced Matthew's strength, but also because of the summoning of Lancelot, it indirectly caused a huge burden on her heart.) )
Looking at Matthew, who was standing in front of her, clenching her fists, trying her best to contain the tears that she kept shedding, but she couldn't stop the tears, Firena's heart couldn't help but feel a little abrupt.
In games or anime, Matthew is a simple-minded girl, perhaps because she never left Chaldea, she loves everything in the world, whether it is the color of the sky, such a simple visual beauty, or the breath of the earth, this ethereal thing. Even if it is something that is disgusted by everyone, it is not to the extent of denial in her eyes.
is such an innocent and romantic she, after becoming a subservant, there is a heavy burden on her thin and thin shoulders. Responsible, she has since taken it as a mission and responsibility to recycle the Holy Grail and protect the safety of her predecessors.
If it is said that the servants and the masters sign a contract, and because of this, protect their masters from harm, so as to obtain the Holy Grail, it is a kind of interest for them to move forward together. Then Matthew's protection of his master is a one-sided, unconditional dedication.
As a test-tube baby, Matthew, logically speaking, should be like Ziggy in FA, an existence with a very personal will or desire. However, she was able to put this will unconditionally on the master she followed, as her predecessor.
And it is precisely because of this unconditional sense of mission that Matthew was able to stand up in danger again and again, and use her small body to resist the full blow of the heroic spirit that was several times stronger than her, or even dozens of times stronger, and what she got back was just a word of thanks from the guardian.
It's just that Firena didn't expect that it was from this strong sense of responsibility that gave Matthew such a huge burden to her now.
Looking at Matthew in front of her, who wanted to stop her tears, Firena knew that this time she was wrong, and when she summoned Lancelot and them, she simply calculated Matthew's strength, not the psychological pressure she was under while gaining strength.
Although today's Matthew is indeed much stronger than in the anime, her heart has fallen into a deep valley in the battles again and again. Compared with strength, it can't compete with Lancelot, compared to Noble Phantasm, and it can't compare to a wide variety of Qianxue, and Cúchulainn, who was forced by Firena to play all his hole cards.
The sobbing sound gradually subsided, but the tears were still dripping on the hands clenched and chested like the unclosed faucet, probably afraid that her appearance would be seen by Firena, Matthew subconsciously bit her lip, and immediately wanted to take out her hand and wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
However, at this moment, a pair of soft palms gently wrapped around Mathieu's tear-stained hands. The faint temperature and the soft touch passed through her palm, which had become a little cold from crying, to her heart, which made her startled for a moment, and then struggled to get rid of Firena's palm, and said in a somewhat flustered voice:
"Senior, let go, this will stain your hands......"
"It's not going to be dirty, Matthew's tears."
Clenching in the palm of her hand were Mathew's hands that were constantly struggling, but Firena not only did not let her go, but clenched her palms even more tightly like a treasure, for fear that she would escape in the next second.
Perhaps it was because she struggled a little, but she couldn't do it, so Matthew could only give up the useless struggle, and whispered to Firena with her face like a rain-falling pear blossom:
"I'm so sorry, senior. Let you see my ugliness. ”
"You don't need to apologize, Matthew. The one who should apologize is me! ”
Looking at Mathew's eyes, which wanted to defend herself, Firena stretched out a finger and gently placed it on her lips, motioning for her not to speak, and then said lightly:
"I still have to thank you, Matthew. Thank you for being able to tell me all that is in your heart. Otherwise, I don't even know that as a master, I am so immature, and there are still so many things that need to be improved. ”
"No, no, you've done a good job senior, senior, you're first-class as a master, it's just that I'm a servant, I'm too weak, so weak that I don't even know how to master the treasure...... Whining! ”
After seeing her seniors and taking the blame on herself, Matthew couldn't help but break free, and the finger that Firena put on her lips immediately shook her head with tears in her eyes, denying what she said.
However, just as Matthew wanted to continue, two hot, yet soft lips were suddenly imprinted on her mouth, blocking the words she wanted to continue to speak, and a warm snort sprayed on her face, as warm as the warm sun in winter, and as hot as the hot sun in summer. She panicked and tried to break free, but the warmth of her lips, and the lilac-like tongue that ran over her lips from time to time, quickly reveled in it, and she finally gave up her resistance.
After a long time, after noticing that Matthew had given up struggling, Firena separated and slowly separated, and then a crystal white silk was constantly stretched as the distance between the two widened, and finally formed a drop of water, dripping to the ground.
"Can you hear me finish now, Matthew."
The little face was slightly red, Firena's breathing was a little short, and Matthew, who was completely blushing at the moment, although he had already had a close contact with Xiao Hei in the other world, but at that time, he was completely on the passive side, which was essentially different from today's initiative.
Nodding his head, Matthew, with a blushing face, buried his head low at the moment, like an ostrich that dared not see anyone. Her eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look directly into Firena's eyes, but if you looked closely, you would find that her eyes, from time to time, glanced at Firena, through the gap between her hair.
Firena, who knew Matthew's behavior as her little daughter, did not break it, but smiled at her, and then took out from her pocket a can of supplies that Dr. Roman had given to the people by teleportation, and said to her:
"You know what, Matthew. The canned thing was invented in 1810. ”
Then, again, from his pocket, as if by magic, he took out a can opener, and continued:
"But the can opener was indeed invented in 1858. It's weird......"
Matthew, who didn't know what he wanted to sell in the gourd, just nodded and silently agreed with her words. Then she was heard to continue:
"Sometimes, however, that's the case. Something important can sometimes be a step too late, no matter what the object is, even if it's a treasure. ”
