Chapter Seventy-Five: [First Time as a Parent]
When Artoria's armor fell on the eaves, there was no dull sound of heavy objects falling on the eaves,
But from the Itachi's field of vision, it was obvious that a few tiles were slightly shaking.
Artoria didn't notice this, just looked at Itachi helplessly, "But this is not a mission. ”
"It's also important to combine work and rest, Itachi, don't tense your nerves all the time."
"In addition to battles and family, you also have daily life, family, and friends."
She was afraid that if the weasel was immersed in this kind of thing she didn't like for too long, she would gradually lose her interest in life and in life.
"If I can settle down, I'll try to relax myself."
Itachi didn't refuse, "But when it comes to food, I'm kind of nostalgic for the Uchiha Izumi's meatball shop." ”
"You can't have just one choice in life, you have to learn to accept other flavors of food."
Artoria is very disdainful of Itachi's obsession with sweets, "But if it leaves a good impression on her, maybe you can buy meatballs at her house in the future, and you can get a discount." ”
“…… Do you want to befriend her for a discount? ”
Itachi gave her a strange look, "It's too utilitarian. ”
At the same time, he felt a little emotional about Artoria's words.
Artoria may not have discovered it herself, but she is already thinking about many questions from the perspective of the king unconsciously.
Even in her words, she has always expressed that she wants to train herself to be a more dazzling king than her.
But in fact, she has departed from this purpose in many words.
As she spent more time in the ninja world, Artoria gradually broke away from the solitary height she once had as a queen.
After all, in this world, there are no knights and people who either respect, worship, or dislike or reject her, and there is no Britain she needs to protect, and there are enemies to face.
And for this inadvertent change that happened to her.
Itachi, as a friend, is delighted.
Dwelling on a sad and irretrievable past is useless and heavy.
Itachi was heartily glad that Artoria could break away from those useless sorrows, come out of her status as a king, and slowly accept the current world.
Later, Itachi had some speculation about Artoria's current situation.
Ever since he learned to pay attention to the people around him, he had been watching Artoria's situation.
First of all, Artoria is in a special state, as if she is somewhere between the real world and another world.
From time to time, she can touch the things of this world, as if they were real,
But most of the time, she is like a projection, she can only see the world, but she can't really fit in.
This was what Itachi knew about her observations before.
At that time, Artoria was in a trance, confused and indifferent, like a person who had lost her purpose and meaning in life, following her like a walking corpse, and would only make some suggestions as a person who came over when she needed it.
And at this stage, Itachi finds that Artoria is slowly letting go of the past, will be happy for herself because she has made friends, and will remind some details that she has overlooked in life.
She truly sees herself as a friend, not a ...... The heir, a shadow, a tool to help her finish what she once left undone.
At least, Artoria in the past would never let herself focus on her daily life and not blindly immerse herself in self-burden.
In the past, in order to become a qualified king, she gave up everything she had, including life, gender, and even the chivalry she learned since childhood.
So if it had been before, she would never have wanted to slack off in life, but would only appreciate her vigilance.
And it was this change that made Artoria slowly integrate into this world.
Itachi can clearly perceive that as time goes by, her casual contact with the world becomes more and more frequent.
It was as if an aimless cruise ship had finally dropped its anchor and had a re-anchoring purpose.
However, Itachi didn't plan to break it about it and told Artoria.
He wanted to wait until she really had nostalgia for this world before he opened his mouth to avoid her deliberately avoiding it after she realized it.
A night sky full of stars,
A fairly clean roof,
A young man who is not very old but has a mature attitude,
A queen from another world.
Or delicious food, or the opening of ninja school tomorrow, or the water stop......
Although the two of them are inseparable every day, the topics they can talk about will never be broken.
One night, just like this, accompanied by a small talk about whether there is a match or not.
And when the sky was lit up again with the light of the morning sun, and there was a faint voice in Konoha Village, Itachi finally had to get up.
Looks...... Uchiha Teru really had no plans to come.
Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he was not surprised.
The lies made up at will are very clumsy, and the Uchiha Teru doesn't believe it, and it is rightfully deserved.
Anyway, Uchiha Hui was willing to ask for specifics at that time, and it was already the answer.
That's how Itachi comforted himself.
First, he returned home for breakfast, and then, rejecting the idea of his father accompanying him, he went to the ninja school alone to report.
Neither mother nor father asked too much about their night's stay, or perhaps they didn't know they weren't in the house last night.
"Speaking of which, your father and mother seem to ask very little about you."
Artoria was very emotional about Fugaku and Mikoto, "They respect your privacy very much, but they don't lack care about you. ”
It's like developing some etiquette habits before, learning to temper your physique, and analyzing the situation in Konoha......
Many things cannot be explained by a "precocious" word at all.
But when Itachi is unwilling to explain more, they will not delve too deeply, but believe in Itachi's own choice, and this degree of "enlightenment" makes her admire it very much.
"I think they're more inexperienced."
Itachi has a different view on this, "Ever since I was a child, I had the idea that they all treated me as an adult, both in terms of spiritual planning and words. ”
"Especially my father took me to the battlefield to make me understand the cruelty of war."
"Looking back at what my father did at that time, from the perspective of my family, I can understand that he hoped that I would understand the cruelty of war, so as to deepen my desire for strength improvement and allow me to live better."
"But from an educational point of view, I actually don't understand it."
"Shouldn't a child first understand the warmth, what he wants to protect, and what the reason for fighting is, and then face the cruelty and sacrifice of war?"
When people face battles, they all have a reason.
But he was a four-year-old child who had basically never left the house, and he didn't understand the reason for the battle at all, and he had no concept of Konoha and the Fire Country.
In this case, it is instilled with war, protection of Konoha ...... and so on, there is really no sense of identity.
On the contrary, it made me confused about life at that time.
If it weren't for Artoria's help, Itachi didn't think that this kind of "stocking" would allow him to achieve his current "maturity".
Therefore, Itachi thinks that his parents are not so much open-minded as they are first-time parents, and they have little experience other than the original intention of being good to themselves.
