Chapter 60: Oranges

The elves' defense mechanism could not last long, and Artoria completed the change of personality on the way back. That's a matter of moments, leaving no trace. If it weren't for the fading of the vermilion and the reappearance of the comforting holy green, Alice Phil would not have been able to notice the change in Artoria at once.

"Is Artoria going out into the streets?" said Alice Phil, who was unexpected, suddenly.

"Ellie, your health is already very poor, it is better to recuperate. Although surprised by Alice Phil's proposal, Artoria shook her head and whispered.

"It's because I know that I want to take one last look. With a begging expression on her face, Alice Fell looked at Artoria and said, "You also know the condition of my body, and you must know that rest is useless. You and I both know that with my current situation, as long as one more Heroic Spirit leaves, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to even maintain my human form, and there are only two days left in the Holy Grail War, and there will definitely be a Heroic Spirit leaving tomorrow, so today is the last time. ”

"........" looked at Alice Phil's slightly helpless face, Artoria had mixed feelings in her heart, what a cruel fate this was.

"Then go ahead. After a moment of silence, Artoria finally couldn't bear to refuse to open and whispered.

"Thank you. Sure enough, it was great to meet Artoria at the end of my life. Hearing Artoria's promise, Alice Phil suddenly had a happy smile on her face.

"Me too. Looking at Alice Phil, who was smiling like a child, and there didn't seem to be any sadness about the end of her life, Artoria also said with a smile on her face.

"Let's go, this is the last time Artoria will accompany me as my knight, and I will cherish it. As she spoke, Alice Fell gently wrapped her arms around Artoria's arm and walked together in the darkness of the night like a normal couple.

Although Fuyuki is not a big city, there is still a lot of activity at night, and people play outside in groups, and the colorful neon lights illuminate the night as bright as day.

"That's good. Holding Artoria's arm, Alice Phil murmured in a soft, yearning voice.

"I always wonder how nice it would be if I were just a normal person. Alice Fell looked at the crowded streets, and the crowds of people who were hurrying by or walking together, and said enviously: "Although you need to run around for life and face all kinds of difficulties in life, it is better than a fate that has been predestined since birth." Artoria, you know, the feeling of knowing when your life is going to end?"

"I...."

Before Artoria could finish speaking, Alice Phil said, "Sorry, I forgot, Artoria is like that. It is recorded in the history books that Artoria also drew the sword of the king when she knew her fate, so it seems that we are really similar. ”

"Ellie...."Artoria didn't know what to say. It is true that she also knew her fate from Merlin in the first place, but why did she choose that path?

That's right, it's because she saw a lot of people laughing, and she thought it wouldn't be wrong.

She doesn't seem to have a choice, she can only passively accept her damn fate.

"Artoria, you know, sometimes I really want to be an ordinary person, living an ordinary life with my husband and children, even if I am struggling for firewood, rice, oil, and salt. What would Artoria do if she were given another chance to choose?" Suddenly, Alice Fell looked at Artoria and asked.

"Maybe you will still choose to be the king, after all, in that country, those people have no way out. Artoria never felt lost in her path, and even if she lost everything in the end, she never regretted her choice. Maybe the only thing I regret is that I didn't protect the people I wanted to protect in the first place.

"That's probably why Artoria was able to become the Emperor of the Eternals, but why is there such a damn thing as a predetermined fate in this world?" Alice Fell said.

"I'm sorry....." Artoria was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Ellie, I'm really sorry that I, as your knight, can't protect you." ”

Artoria felt a sense of powerlessness all over her body, which was rare in her. She hadn't felt this way before, even against the mighty Roman Empire, and this was the second time she had felt this way, the first time when Gniveville committed suicide.

"Hmm~~" Alice Fell shook her head, and then said: "Artoria has done a good job and fulfilled a lot of my wishes, if it weren't for Artoria, I might have died with more regrets, so Artoria is really a good knight." ”

"Etude ....."

Artoria was sad for a while, why did the people she swore to protect have not succeeded, is this also fate?

"Oops. Suddenly, Altheria's musings were interrupted by Alice Phil's voice.

"What's wrong?" Artoria asked, a little nervous.

"The person in front of me dropped something. Alice Fell said, pointing to a small bag on the ground.

Then he picked it up, jogged two steps, caught up with the person in front of him, and stopped her.

Seeing this, Artoria hurriedly chased after her, and Alice Fair's body could not withstand any toss now.

"Is this your thing, please?" asked Althelia when she arrived, and Alice Phil was already holding up the bag in her hand to the man.

It was a tall beauty with orange hair and glasses, and she looked very bookish.

"Ah, yes, I'm so sorry I accidentally dropped it and caused you trouble. Scratching his head a little embarrassed, he obviously looks like an intellectual beauty, but at the moment he has a bit of a cute taste.

"It's fine. Alice Phil chuckled.

"My name is Cangqi Orange, thank you again for your help. Orange asked with a smile.

"My name is Alice Phil, but I really don't need to thank you, it's just a small favor. ”

"You're here for a tourist, because your name doesn't look like a local. Seeing Alice Phil insisting, Orange said.

"Well, we're from abroad, and this is Artoria. Alice Fell nodded, and then introduced Artoria to Orange.

"Hello. Orange said to Artoria.

"Hello. Artoria nodded.

"By the way, since you're here for a tour, would you like to visit my shop?"

Alice Fell turned her head to look at Artoria, and when she saw the other party nodding, she immediately happily agreed to Orange's invitation.

Walking down the street, looking at the woman walking ahead, Artoria whispered in Alice Fair's ear, "Be careful, it's a magician." ”

"Huh?" Alice Phil looked surprised.

"I feel the magic in her, but don't be afraid that I'm here, I'll just tell you first. Artoria said.

"Hmm. Alice Phil nodded.

"By the way, are you interested in dolls?" asked Orange in front of him as he suddenly stopped and looked at the two of them.

"Doll?" asked Alice Field, confused.

"Yes, I'm a puppet shop, you know, I'm a well-known puppeteer, if you're interested, I can tailor a puppet for you. Orange said proudly.

Suddenly, Artoria's heart moved, the magician of the puppeteer, that should help Alice Phil.

"Can you make a living puppet?"
