"yes... Let's play......"

The man was like a very patient elder, and he extended his inviting hand to the boy like a loving father.

The boy's mind suddenly sounded a continuous sound of inducement, and the powerful hypnotic power was no longer something that a child of this age could resist. Even if you have the qualifications to become a magician. But then again, even if the existence on the other side is a real magician, I'm afraid you have to be impressed.

Slowly, slowly, the boy walked towards the man opposite. The already blurred golden eyes now look even more hollow.

"Come on... Let's play together, go outing, go on an adventure, many friends are looking forward to your joining..."

Finally, the boy came to the man. Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, the boy put his hand over without a trace of hesitation. It's like a doll that receives orders, without a mind of its own...

"That's right... That's it, let's...?!!"

"Woo la la~"

Just as the man was about to grasp the small hands, a whistling wind blade forced him to retreat. When the smoke cleared, a huge crack 100 meters long was seen in the ground between him and the boy.

"It's you, Caster. It's such a filthy thing to be done here, and there is no pride that belongs to the Heroic Spirit. Looking at the strange man in the distance, Artoria said in a disdainful tone. "It's really a disgusting existence, and I can't help but cut you when I see you. ”

The moonlight finally fell on the earth once again through the blockade of dark clouds. The originally unknown place gradually became traceable, and the silver-blue armored girl who came with the moonlight. Under the long golden hair is a goddess-like face, if the girl holds the silver short bow in her hand, then I am afraid that no one will suspect that it is the moon god Artemis himself.

"Ah, here you are, Your Highness. Seeing Artoria Caster, not only did she not panic, but shouted excitedly. "See, this is what I have prepared to wake you up, and you will only be able to come to your senses if you completely blaspheme the so-called God. ”

Looking at the demon-like crazy caster, Artoria shook her head and didn't want to say anything, judging from the last meeting, she already knew that the other party would never listen to any words, all she had to do was to kill the other party completely.

"Look, isn't this kid a good prop for blasphemy?" said Caster as he pushed the kid out of his side and continued, "Not only that, but I've got a lot of props for you to wake you up." ”

Hearing Caster's words, Artoria slowly turned her gaze to the child.

It was only when Artoria saw the boy that she finally understood what that strange feeling was all about.

It was a bond of fate, just like the feeling that Artoria had when she first saw Gnevel, with a taste of fate in it, and this was the reason why Artoria had sent her to come here first, instead of rushing to Kiriji.

Today, Artoria's intuition is no longer a simple prediction, and gradually, it has been able to capture the shadow of fate.

Fate is hard to resist, even Artoria.

Just putting aside this inexplicable throbbing, Artoria was irrepressibly angry. "Your presence is a mistake in my eyes now, and I don't understand why the Holy Grail chose you, but so be it. With that, Artoria stormed.

"Now is not a good time, Your Highness. Caster smiled and said, "I'd love to meet you sooner, but I'm not ready yet, and I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, so I'd better wait until I'm ready to come to you." ”

"Don't want to run away. Artoria didn't want to let him go, this time she attacked early, as long as she didn't give up the attack, she could definitely keep Caster.

"That's not going to work, because... You're so kind. Caster then threw the child in front of him towards Artoria.

Looking at the child who rushed straight towards her, Artoria secretly gritted her silver teeth, but helplessly reached out to catch the other party. Caster vanished at this point.

"Damn. Artoria scolded irritably, but Artoria couldn't abandon the unconscious child in her hand, so she had to carry him to a bench not far away and put him down.

"What a troublesome little ghost..."

Looking at the boy sleeping on a park bench, even in his sleep, his body's instinct still tends to the safest place. I saw him tugging at the corner of Artoria's skirt and refusing to let go, and Artoria felt helpless and irritated about it.

It wasn't just Caster's misdeeds that upset her that made her so irritable, but also the child lying on the bench. It was a feeling she had only experienced twice so far, and it was so similar to Gnavelel, with the smell of fate.

This made her wonder why she felt so much about him, and what fate she had with the other party, all of which made Artoria feel irritated.

She has always been very resistant to any predetermined fate, but so far nothing seems to have changed, and she still embarked on the path arranged by fate.

Becoming the King of Britain, marrying Gnavel, breaking the dynasty, becoming a Heroic Spirit in search of the Holy Grail, nothing has changed. This made her have to sigh at the certainty of fate.

But she hated the feeling, and hated everything that had been arranged in the dark. So now for the child who gave her the taste of fate, she also subconsciously carried a feeling of disgust in it.

But, hate is hate. She couldn't seem to resist the feeling.

"Hmm~"

While Artoria was meditating, the boy on the bench finally woke up. Probably because of the tossing and turning of the night, the boy let out a grunt of dissatisfaction due to lack of sleep. However, Tofford's actions pulled Artoria back from the fugue situation.

"Ahh

As soon as the boy opened his eyes, he saw a pair of holy green eyes staring at him silently. Under the moonlight, her long golden hair is in perfect harmony with her beautiful appearance, like the goddess of the moon. However, the boy just thought that the woman in front of him was more beautiful than the girls he had seen before. What kind of appreciation of beauty do you want a child to have?

"Are you awake?"

Seeing that the boy was fine, Artoria was faint, not so much a question as if she were talking to herself.

"Ahh Well. Are you an elf?" muttered to herself as she looked at Artoria with some misty eyes.

"Nope. Responding lightly, Artoria immediately said, "Since you have woken up, let's go home quickly." ”

Although she smelled the smell of fate in the boy's body, out of resistance to fate, Artoria instinctively did not want to have too much entanglement with the other party. And even if you have a bond with yourself, I'm afraid it will be a matter of the future. Besides, Artoria still remembered her purpose, and she had already lost too much time here. She didn't want to waste her time, and it was already incredible for Artoria to stay here and wait for him to wake up.

"Ah, yes, if my mother finds out, I will definitely be scolded!"

Without even asking why he was here, when the topic came to his parents, the boy looked extremely terrifying, and he quickly jumped up and ran towards the entrance of the park...

It's finally solved... So, it's time to get down to business!

- Huh?

Just as Artoria was about to leave to track down the figure, she suddenly found that the boy who had left had turned back. With a hint of fear on his face, he ran over to Artoria as if relieved.

"What's wrong?"

Looking at the boy's panting appearance, Artoria was a little unhappy because of the delay in time. But he still maintained a flat state of mind and asked without waves.

"That.. Well, I'm a little afraid of the dark. Yes... Can you give me a ride, big sister?"

As if embarrassed by his request, the boy stumbled.

The boy's request was a little unexpected to Artoria, to which Artoria did not reply directly. The holy green eyes stared straight at the boy in front of him, trying to see something clearly.

Obviously, Artoria's gaze put a lot of pressure on the boy. Even though he didn't use any power, the innate momentum and the coercion accumulated by the king had already made the boy look very uncomfortable. But despite this, the boy still had no intention of giving up, and he still looked at her longingly.

“......”

For the boy's attachment, Artoria gradually couldn't refuse.

"I see... Let's go!"

Artoria is not a person who does not know how to weigh the pros and cons, but Artoria surprisingly does not want to refuse the boy's request. Maybe this is the power of fate, Artoria decided to act according to her mood first.

"Ahh Thank you very much!"

After seeing Artoria agree, the boy happily followed in the other party's footsteps.

"Huh?!"

Before she knew it, the boy had already grabbed Artoria's hand, which made Artoria stunned.

"Big sister shouldn't know how to go, right?"

The boy explained softly to Artoria's puzzled expression.

"Really... Indeed. ”

Not minding anything, Artoria followed the boy's guidance and walked slowly towards the place where the moonlight was shining......

................................................

Under the cold moonlight, from the moment the blue-white figure appeared... I should have held on to it.

If... If there are ifs in life

I don't think I'll ever let it go again.... It should have been like this since ten years ago.

Al... Toria.

Once you catch it, don't let it go, because it's lost... Maybe you don't have it anymore.

But it won't be ten years from now.

I.... I've never had her, but I feel like I've lost her a million times..........
