Chapter 50: The Established Fate
With Artoria's siege blow, tonight's feast has come to an end.
Gently stopping beside Alice Phil, looking at this woman with a bright smile on her face, Artoria's whole body couldn't help but completely relax.
"Saber, thank you for the victory you have brought me, it will be my greatest honor. Alice Phil smiled like a flower and thanked her heartily.
After seeing Artoria's miraculous Noble Noble Liberation, Alice Phil is more sure of this Holy Grail Battle.
Artoria stared at the other man's face, not showing any uneasiness or fear in it, and the battle had not affected her in the slightest. Artoria knew that this was a sign that the other party had completely trusted her. "I also want to say thank you, Alice Phil has no reserved trust, and that's why I was able to win. ”
"That's because being by Saber's side always gives me complete peace of mind, and I feel that even if something big happens, I don't need to be afraid, because Saber is here!" Alice Fair's gentle voice sounded slowly, as if to say it in Artoria's heart.
"Let's go, you're tired too, go back and rest. Smiling, Artoria whispered.
"Hmm. Nodding, Alice Phil didn't move immediately. Looking at Artoria's puzzled face, Alice Fell said a little weakly, "Can Saber help me a little?"
Looking at Alice Fair's slightly pale face due to hard work, Artoria felt a little distressed inexplicably: "What's wrong?
"Well, it should be. I'm really sorry, but at this time, I'm still holding you back. Alice Fell said softly with some apologies. It seems that talking is already a difficult thing for her now.
"What are you talking about? I should apologize, after all, I didn't protect you. ”
"Hmm~, that's not the case, it's just my inevitable fate, and it has nothing to do with Saber. Shaking her head slightly, Alice Fell looked at Artoria, who was a little remorseful, and denied it.
"What the hell is ....... that" blurted out the words that stopped the rest of the question, Artoria knew very well that everything that happened to Alice Fell now was related to her android identity, and if she continued to ask, it would undoubtedly touch the scar that the other party didn't want to mention.
She didn't want to hurt the woman anymore because it would be too cruel.
Because, even if she doesn't know the specific reason, Artoria can feel Alice Phil's feelings. I came to this land with the intention of dying.
"What about Avalon? Even Avalon can't heal you?" Artoria could only hope for the Avalon in the other party's body, after all, in Artoria's concept, there was no injury that Avalon couldn't heal.
"If it weren't for Avalon, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to move now. Shaking her head with a wry smile, Alice Fell denied Artoria's idea and continued: "I have a problem with the internal functions of my body, not that I have been harmed, although Avalon can delay the aggravation of symptoms, but it cannot completely solve it." ”
"Well, now I'm slowly starting to get used to this situation, and with Saber's constant input of mana to activate Avalon, it's a lot better now. As if to prove her claim, Alice Fell broke free from Artoria's grip and walked slowly forward.
"Ellie, don't force yourself, as your knight, you don't have to scruple so much. Artoria hurried after her, looking at her with some concern.
"Don't worry, Saber, it's okay. ”
Looking at Alice Phil, Artoria was silent for a moment and then suddenly said, "Artoria." ”
Looking at Alice Phil's stunned appearance, Artoria said lightly: "If there is no one, just call me Artoria." If it's you, I don't mind calling you by your real name. ”
No wonder Alice Fell was so surprised, she knew that her real name was something important to Artoria. Unlike other Heroic Spirits, Artoria has always been known as "Arthur", but her true name is rarely known. Although now, Merlin's sentence "If you are not a loved one, your real name is not enough to tell you" is meaningless. But after so much to come, Artoria has come to believe that only those who identify with her can tell her real name.
"Well, Artoria!"
Alice Phil exclaimed happily, knowing that this recognition was not easy to come by. And from his own point of view, being able to get Artoria's friendship is also precious to Ellie, who died soon.
"Wait, Ellie. Passing through a dark alley, Artoria abruptly stopped Alice Phil.
"What's wrong?"
"I have something to take care of, can you wait for me here?" Altoria nodded as she looked at Artoria, who suddenly had a mysterious smile on her face.
"You'll be waiting here, rest assured I'll be back soon. ”
As he spoke, he dodged into the darkness.
......................................................
Yan Feng Qili himself didn't know what was going on, he obviously only came to the battlefield where the teacher personally participated because of the purpose of supporting Tosaka Shichen. But when he found out that Shi Chen's rival was Tong Yanye, Qili didn't help, but made a bit of a lazy behavior of observing in secret.
Because he understands the difference in strength between Shi Chen and Yan Ye, and in that situation, Shi Chen doesn't need help. If you simply take a bystander attitude, it can also be said to be in line with the judgment of cleanup.
But the actions that followed were completely out of his own duties.
By the time the wild goose fell from the roof of the apartment, Shi Chen may have thought that he had won a complete victory, and did not even go further to verify whether the enemy was really dead. Qili was surprised by the teacher's boldness, originally out of the intention of making up for the teacher's carelessness, she went to verify Yanye's body, but not long after, when she found the figure rolling down the path, she found that Yanye was still breathing.
Of course, if it is a loyal lackey of the Tosaka camp, it is natural that he should be obliged to give Yanya a fatal blow immediately. But at that time, Qili's mind was reverberating from the conversation with Archer in the morning.
His advice was that if he wanted to truly understand himself, he must focus not only on Emiya Kiritsugu, but also on the life and death and future of Matsuri.
Overall, it was an unpleasant conversation. It's a joke that isn't worth listening to at all.
But what was it that made Qili choose to break away from the role of a bystander when facing the duel between Shichen and Yanye. There is no need to stay on the battlefield at all if you don't think you have to help. Wouldn't it make more sense to search for other masters?
And at the moment when the flame manipulated by Shi Chen finally captured the wild goose night, there was no doubt that what he was thinking in his heart at that time was not a trace of disappointment?
By the time she came to her senses, Qili had already begun to apply healing magic to Yanya's injured body as an emergency treatment.
"Yo, Yan Feng Qili, meet again. With a sudden voice, it was the Servant of the man who appeared in front of him.
Faced with this person who could easily kill himself, Yan Feng Qili did not panic, and asked in a very flat tone: "Did Emiya Kiritsugu ask you to kill me?"
"No, it's just a man of yours who is on this trip. Denied the other party's idea, Artoria looked at Yanye, who was being treated on her back, and said in a relaxed tone.
Yan Feng Qili was a little shocked when she heard this, and said unconsciously: "Are you also interested in him?"
"Oh~, listening to your tone, it seems that there are still people interested in him. Looking at the somewhat surprised face, Artoria said with a hint of teasing: "It should be Archer, and you are interested in him, right? ”
"Okay, let's disappear before I change my mind, although no one asked me to kill you, I won't mind getting rid of you, after all, you still hurt the person I agree with before. Unceremoniously gave Yan Fengqi an eviction order, she didn't have time to continue to hang out with him now, time was pressing.
After a deep glance at Artoria, Yan Feng Qili disappeared into the night.
"Alright, now let's wake you up, I have something to ask you. Artoria looked at the unconscious Yanye and whispered.
