Chapter 42: The Flower of Hope That Never Withered
It was Mary's kiss.
Something Mozart has always craved.
“!!!”
"It's a kiss of gratitude, is it satisfied?" Mary, who removed her lips, whispered in Mozart's ear.
Mozart scratched his cheek on the other side and smiled: "Can you come again, I didn't have time to taste it just now." ”
"Ignore you, you pervert!"
Mary turned her head angrily, and then she noticed that there were two more smiling faces in front of her—Elizabeth and Kiyohime. Originally, they were powerless, but when there was a topic of love, they had strength.
"Hmph."
"Ho-ho."
"It's not ordinary."
"Mm-hmm, something must have happened."
"Nothing!" Mary denied it, how could the two dragon maidens believe it.
"Torture, torture!"
"Please be sure to recruit from the truth!"
That girl's meeting didn't seem to be over yet.
……
At about the same time, deep in the mountains on the outskirts of Montluçon.
The forest here is dense and there is a lot of shelter, and if you don't search carefully, you won't know that there is a hole in it.
This was a refuge prepared by the local residents to escape the war during the Anglo-French War, but it came in handy at this time.
Horse-drawn carriages formed a simple fence, and the people divided their work, some cutting wood, some setting up tents, some setting traps, and some scouting nearby.
In the center of the camp, Joan of Arc clasped hands and prayed silently in her heart.
"Lord, bless them......"
She had repeated the same thing many times, and every few minutes, she prayed sincerely.
Despite not hearing the voice of the Lord in this twisted peculiarity, and despite not once receiving a response, she persisted in prayer because it was the only thing she could do for them.
This time it's a little different, though.
The Lord still didn't answer her, but the winged serpent in his pocket answered her.
Sisi seemed to sense something, and flew out of the pocket of her robe.
Interestingly, the serpent has always been the antithesis of God, the symbol of Satan, in the Catholic lineage, whether it is an irony of fate or a simple coincidence.
Joan of Arc didn't think much of it, she looked at Silk as she watched it spin happily in the air, and asked tentatively.
"Isn't it...... They—succeeded? ”
"Silk!" Small, snake-headed dots.
"Great, that's great." The girl who had been frowning finally smiled.
Siegfried and Jolchos, who were not far away, also showed relieved expressions.
The fire is not extinguished, and the hope is still there!
In the days that followed, the people returned to Montluçon, which was guarded by Marie and Mozart.
Three of the most well-known saints, Marda, Joelchos and Joan of Arc, joined forces to lift the curse on Siegfried with a super-large-scale "baptismal chant".
Because the mana consumed by the continuous fierce battle has also been effectively restored in this smooth daily life.
When all the servants adjust their state, it is the time for the horn of the counterattack to blow.
The time has been decided, tomorrow!
The Chaldian drifters who have traveled through time and space will join the Servants who have been summoned by the Holy Grail to correct the distortion of the era and go to Orleans, the demonic realm dominated by the "Dragon Witch", for the final battle.
In other words, it's the last rest.
Matthew wiped her shield in the room assigned to her.
Even though she knew it was in vain, the shield was wrapped in magical power, and neither blood, nor dust, nor any other stain would remain on the surface of the shield, but she did it anyway, because she would not be at ease without it.
The Great War, the Great War that has never been seen before.
The total number of servants invested by both the enemy and the enemy is more than double digits, and even myths and legends rarely have a major battle of this scale.
It sounded very enthusiastic, but in fact, Matthew felt very excited at all, but felt very uneasy.
In such a big war, can an immature sub-servant like himself come in handy?
Can you do as well as those real servants?
Can you protect your own lord in the chaos of war, the boy who is called "senior"?
She didn't know.
All she could do was imitate Marshal Gil and his soldiers, taking care of her equipment before the battle, and doing every step as well as she could.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
"Matthew, it's me."
"Senpai." Matthew hurriedly put down the rag in his hand and opened the door.
"That ......" Rika stood at the door, looking like she was spitting and stopping.
"Stupid." Olga Marie's voice came from the bracelet, "Why is it so hard to ask Mathius to go out and go out without letting you go to the execution ground?" Speed speed!. ”
"Ahh The boy twisted himself hard, and finally spoke, "That...... Matthew, do you have time now? We...... Let's go out for a walk. ”
"Matthew, promise him." Roman's voice came from the bracelet again, "Everyone is out, you don't need to be here to be tense." Tension when it should be tight, relax when it should be relaxed, and the combination of work and rest is the king. This is the advice of a doctor as a professional, and I believe me. ”
"Okay, senpai." Matthew didn't refuse, nodding in agreement, "Where to go?" ”
"Let's go out on the street, some shops are already reopen."
"Hmm."
The girl put on a white coat commensurate with the boy, and the two walked out of the mansion together.
Olga Marie, who saw this scene through the image capture skills of the bracelet, waved her hand in satisfaction.
"Very well, it's going very well so far, and then- Romani, what are you doing?"
It turned out that while Olga Marie was speaking, Roman directly turned off the stereoscopic projection in the command room.
"No more, peeping on teenage and girly dating is not a good interest, director!"
"I'm worried about them, and you know Matthew's character, and I need to give her a hint when the time is right."
"That's redundant. It is precisely because I know her personality and experience that I should not do it. Yes, she is a servant and exists to fight, but she is also a human being, and there is no more than fighting in her life. Her people, her heart had been closed for too long - at least, let her live freely of her own will at such a time. ”
"Freedom...... Is it? Olga Marie held her chin and thoughtfully said, "yes, she does......"
"That's right, Director. It's a rare opportunity, so it's better to give everyone a holiday, nothing should happen tomorrow, and it's enough to leave one person in the command room. ”
"Yes."
For this proposal, Olga Marie expressed her approval.
"You all go back and rest, here's me-"
"Wait!"
At this moment, the side door of the command room opened automatically with a "bang", and a person walked in.
It's Leonardo da Vinci.
PS: After saying that it has been so long, only one book friend complained about the "Wall of Sighs", it seems that "Saint Seiya" has really become the tears of the times.
