Chapter 36: Armor

The smooth marble floor is spotless, and the snow-white walls are hung with several knightly paintings on one side, and on the other side are the full dresses that the girl usually wears, and on the ground is her armor.

Near the window, a white bungaku bed is placed there, and the design of the pattern and pattern is very Western-style.

If my room is a typical oriental bedroom, then the room in front of me is a very obvious European bedroom.

The layout of this room is extremely elegant, which is not only full of a noble atmosphere, but also gives people a crisp and neat impression, which matches the temperament of the girl who is the king of knights to the extreme.

How so, isn't everyone's room different?

…………

I walked to the wall and took off my familiar dress.

The dress itself is very light, and it has almost no weight in the hand, and it is completely ordinary clothing.

So, I then used my other hand to lift the armor that was lying on the ground.

I didn't even think about why the armor was on the ground because it was so lax......

…………

As a result, the moment the armor was held in my hand, my body suddenly sank downward, and my knees almost bent to the ground.

It's so heavy!

That's the first thought that pops into my head.

You know, since my body has been strengthened by dragon blood, even a hundred catties of boulders can be lifted effortlessly.

And this armor has always made my whole body sink?!

So how the hell has Artoria been fighting in it so far?

…………

No, you have to send your clothes back quickly.

I folded my dress and tucked it under my armpits, gritted my teeth, and walked out with the armor in my hands.

Artoria was still in the room waiting for me to get back, and everyone was still waiting for us.

So it has to be done as soon as possible!

…………

When I opened the door, everyone opened their mouths wide when they saw what I was struggling to carry with both hands.

"No, Shirou, you actually stole the Knight King's clothes?" Ios first spoke with a sneer, "Tut-tut, you really have a weak heart, you can't even lift a set of armor, are your muscles all decorations?" ”

"Don't talk about it...... Hurriedly...... Help me! "I was jumping out of my clenched teeth literally word by word.

The girl's armor was already heavy, and it took all my strength to hold it up and straight. And this carrying, my waist is bent at a right angle.

…………

"Is it that heavy?"

Suspicious, Ios stepped forward and put his hand under the edge of his armor, trying to share some of the weight for me.

I was a little relieved by that.

"Woohoo!"

The sudden force caused Ios to lose his center of gravity and plunge headlong to the ground.

"Ios!" I was shocked when I saw this, and hurriedly re-lifted the armor in my hand.

…………

However, despite this, Ios still fell to the ground due to inertia.

"I ...... It's already a waste magician......" Ios said with no light in his eyes.

"Lord Emiya, please leave it to your subordinates. It was the duty of the knights to raise the armor for our king. Then Lancelot stepped forward.

"Are you sure?" I couldn't help but look at the knight twice.

"Yes, Eimiya-sama, please trust your subordinates." The loyal knight's eyes were unwavering.

…………

"Okay." Seeing that the knight was like this, I stopped insisting, put the armor into his hand, and then let go of my hand.

"Hmm!!"

The moment he caught the armor, the knight's neck was exposed, and the green tendons burst out!

Then, less than two seconds, with the muffled sound of the armor falling to the ground, he knelt on the ground very simply.

…………

"I'm sorry Lancelot, I'd better come."

With a soft sigh, I stepped forward to pick up Lancelot.

"No, Einomiya-sama. I...... I'm sure I can! Please give me another chance! ”

The knight pleaded as he tried to lift the armor with all his strength.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the armor remained on the ground.

…………

"Nope! No way! Why is this so, am I not even qualified to be the king of my king? ”

The knight's expression was extremely painful, and everyone present was worried.

"Alright Lancelot, calm down. You will always be my brother. Kai stepped forward and whispered to soothe the emotionally uncontrollable knight.

…………

"Kai, Lancelot will be handed over to you." With that to Kai, I lifted my armor with all my strength and made my way to my room with difficulty.

"Ha, don't worry, Lord Emiya, when you and my king come out again, you will definitely see a Lancelot who is no different from usual." Kai said with a sunny smile.

…………

Knocking on the door, I pushed it open and squeezed in with my armor in my hand.

"Shirou!"

Seeing that I was sweating and struggling to come in with my armor, the girl was startled and rolled out of bed and hurried to my side.

“…… Artoria, I brought you your dress and armor. This armor is really ...... It's so heavy! ”

I let out a sigh of relief from the armor on the ground and the dress that had been clipped under my armpit for a long time.

…………

"My armor? How so? The girl looked surprised, and reached for her armor.

Then, in my round eyes, she grabbed the armor with one hand with great ease.

"Although it does have a certain texture, it is obviously a weight that can be grabbed with one hand, why is Shirou acting so exaggerated?" The girl looked very puzzled as she dangled her armor in the air as casually as she carried a piece of paper.

…………

"Artoria, have you ever played wrist wrestling?" After a few seconds of silence, I said to the girl.

"Wrist wrestling, it seems to be a contest of strength." The girl pondered, "My swordsmanship has always been good at skill, so I haven't done strength training specifically. But it was often done among the knights. ”

"Well, let's give it a try." As I spoke, I put my arms on the table.

…………

"Huh, wrestling your wrists? Shirou and me? The girl was a little surprised.

"That's right, a little bit of strength is fine. Since it was the first time we tried it, we all started to be a little more careful. I said cautiously.

"Okay, okay, I've never tried to wrestle my wrist." The girl stepped forward with great interest, and her tender hand grasped mine.

"I'll start counting to three." I tried to keep my face as calm as possible, "Come, one, two......"

"Three!"

…………

As soon as the words fell, a strong force came from the arm.

"Uh-uh!"

There was no suspense, and even the strength of my whole body could not change the result, and half of my body and arms were completely crushed on the table.

…………

“…… Really, I didn't even have any strength. Shirou doesn't have to let me make it so obvious. The girl pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction.

Hearing the girl say this, my heart twitched.
