Chapter 403:
PS: Are you still used to writing Joan of Arc and Roman in this way? Speaking of which, I originally wanted to write a plot similar to La Fei, but thinking that Mr. Daguangqiu was not there and that there were too many saints in the Moon World, I finally gave up the idea.
So I can only write white famous paintings, I don't know how everyone feels?
Chapter 635 Chapter 164 Interlude 1
Reality is always dramatic, and coincidences are everywhere.
- I asked why you were with Roman, you said it was an ordinary teacher and student condolences, but I saw you feeding him.
Roman didn't know what Artoria was thinking at that moment. If she had to describe it, it would probably be that she used the Holy Grail to go back to the past and saw Guinevere thrown into Lancelot's arms at first glance.
Arturia left the dining room as if escaping from reality, and Jeanne rose from her chair, but sat down after a moment of hesitation.
With a downcast look, it seemed that it was not only Arturia but also Jeanne who was hit.
"Why don't you explain it clearly?"
"Explain what? Tell her you're a magician, and are you losing your magic now?"
If you want to explain clearly, then you will leak the fact that Roman is a magician, but unfortunately, just a moment ago, Joan of Arc just promised Roman to keep this secret.
Roman can already imagine the tangle in Joan's heart. When she made a choice on both sides, she finally chose this side. Whether it was a betrayal against morality or a deceptive lie, it was not what she wanted, so she simply broke the jar and gave up on herself.
It is also unfortunate that this incident was brought out by Roman, so Roman did not want to see Joan of Arc's good face.
"Even if it is explained, Artoria will not believe it."
Joan of Arc muttered to herself, and then the whole person fell into self-loathing.
She was right, even if she went to catch up with Artoria and explained it clearly, Artoria would no longer believe Joan's explanation. After all, half an hour ago, Arturia saw the same picture and left, and then was chased by Jeanne to explain it clearly (half). Then Joan of Arc left in a hurry, but no one thought that Arturia would kill a carbine, and hit the same scene for the second time.
If you catch up to explain it now, it's too insulting to people's intelligence, right? But the truth of the facts is not acceptable to everyone.
- It's all your fault!
After realizing that she had nothing to do, Joan stared at Roman with a look of resentment.
In fact, Roman felt that Joan of Arc still needed to explain it to Arturia. Whether it is a couple or a friend, many conflicts often start because of misunderstandings caused by not understanding each other. At the beginning, it may be just a small problem. However, when the problems continue to accumulate and expand, and finally break out, the harm between people It can no longer be healed.
Speaking of which, if Roman is now helping to explain, will Artoria's Noble Phantasm be released?
Fearing that other people would pass by and see a new misunderstanding, Roman ate the food on the plate hastily. Simply put, Joan of Arc used a spoon to stuff the food into Roman's mouth. He didn't even have a taste. Taste it well and swallow it.
Sure enough, for men, the job of feeding should only happen to mothers and partners.
After the supper time was over, Joan of Arc helped Roman to the room. Roman, who was lying on the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep not long after, and the night in Chaldea began and ended like this.
…
…
- A week ago.
Today is the day when David is solely responsible for the inspection work. Although he was summoned not long ago, David has already shouldered this important task. The seemingly ordinary and boring work is actually related to the safety of everyone in Chaldea.
However, as David left, unnatural sounds seemed to be remembered in the dining room.
Judging by the sound, it is iron and aluminum colliding. Don't doubt the Servant's hearing, any trouble can't hide from them, so when there was a noise in the restaurant, David rushed here as soon as possible.
While on guard, David pushed open the door of the restaurant, and then saw Arturia sitting on a chair with a steel basin (a large bowl).
"…"
"…"
David looked at the steel basin (big bowl), and then at the round face full of food, and the two were speechless in the end.
Arturia was obviously taken aback when she saw David appearing, but the amazing thing was that although her face showed a surprised expression, the chewing action of her mouth did not stop.
"That... Miss Artoria..."
When the girl's name was revealed, Artoria drew her holy sword with a swoosh and approached with a murderous look on her face.
"Wait, Miss Artoria, what are you doing?"
David couldn't understand that his simple words would cause such a big reaction from Arturia.
"Don't worry, Mr. David, you'll soon forget what just happened."
"Ugh?"
"The re-summoned Mr. David will not have the memory of appearing in Chaldea. It doesn't matter if the new Mr. David has such bad luck. I will ask Mona Lisa to hand over the holy spar to Lixiang. Of course, the new Mr. Mr David has only one chance."
"Why was I sentenced to death all of a sudden? I really think there's nothing wrong with it, right?"
He only came in to have a look when he heard the noise in the restaurant. Did he do something wrong?
David felt that Artoria's murderous aura was getting stronger and stronger, and the holy sword had begun to shine. If Arturia really wanted to kill David, David wouldn't even have a chance to call for help.
No, you can't sit still, do you want to strike first? Are you going to leave here? Just kidding, they were summoned after a long time, and they were finally seen. They didn't die on the battlefield, but died in their own base camp, or died in such a funny way...
Wait, at least we have to figure out why Artoria has such a big reaction.
Due to the danger of life in front of him, David's thoughts were as fast as lightning at this moment, and he could swear that this moment was the smartest moment before and after his death. Countless images flashed through his mind, and finally they settled on his wife Bathsheba.
Bathsheba was originally not David's wife, but the wife of Uriah, a military officer, but was seduced by David after seeing her accidentally. In order to get Bathsheba, David even framed Uriah, and finally got Bathsheba, and their first child was a scheming boy-Solomon who thought he was hiding a lot.
And the reason why David killed Uriah is - you know too much.
David looked at the steel basin (big bowl) on the dining table, and saw the last mouthful of food that Arturia swallowed, and for a moment seemed to be blessed.
Looking at Arturia, who was already only a sword away in front of him, David's hypocritical face showed a look of approval.
"I understand you, Miss Arturia."
"?" Arturia didn't quite understand what David meant, but she still decided to let David leave his last words.
"As warriors, you will have the strength to fight when you are full. The king does not allow hungry soldiers to enter the battlefield. Therefore, as Servants, we should keep our magic power full, and not wait for the upcoming battle with an empty stomach. Hunger , is our enemy!"
At that moment, Arturia showed the look of finding a bosom friend.
"That's great, finally someone understands me. Even the Knights of the Round Table don't know that hunger is the enemy. Those guys who only know about fighting will never understand the pain of hunger. I didn't expect to die. After that, I can find people who share my philosophy.”
"Because we are all kings, those courtiers will never understand the king's troubles. Feeding people is the first condition for the stability of the kingdom."
Artoria was almost moved to tears, but she didn't know that David wiped the cold sweat on her head secretly.
-Finally fooled.
In other words, Servants are just ghost-like familiars. As long as they have magical powers, they won't feel hungry and don't need to rest. And you are holding such a big steel basin (bowl), isn't it pure gluttony?
Of course, David would not be stupid enough to expose Arturia's lies. If he really wanted to do this, he might return to Valhalla in the next moment.
Then again, David doesn't think it's wrong to satisfy his appetite. Appetite and sexual desire are the most basic desires. The former is for survival and the latter is for reproduction. No matter which one is missing, the race cannot be continued.
"Is Miss Arturia not full at night?"
"This is for Rika's sake. There are more and more Masters around Rika, and our actions will increase her burden. If we get magic power from other places, it will make it easier for Rika."
I never thought that you, the king of knights, Arturia, could speak nonsense with your eyes open.
Not to mention the small bowl you use during the day to maintain your image, the Servants of Chaldea often use electricity instead of magic to move, where do you need to quietly sneak a late-night snack in the restaurant?
"It's really touching, Miss Arturia, if Tachika knew about your actions, she would be very moved."
"Please don't tell Lixiang about this." Hearing that David was going to tell Lixiang about this, Arturia generally stopped him by conditioned reflex, "Ahem, I just think Lixiang will blame herself for this, She is still a trainee magician after all, she still needs time to grow in this regard, we should not put pressure on her."
"Also, Lixiang has worked very hard to restore human rights, so don't put more pressure on her."
Anyway, I didn't plan to tell others, and David didn't insist on it. He took another look at the steel basin (big bowl) with half of the food left, "I still have to go to the inspection, Miss Arturia, please continue. Don't worry, I have checked the area just now, and I can't see anyone. Get close to here, you can rest assured to eat."
"Thank you so much, Mr. David."
David had no intention of staying any longer, so he simply left. But he did not forget about it, but silently wrote it down.
Then for the next few days, he would pass the dining room at this time every night as he patrolled, and each time Arturia could be seen sneaking into the dining room to wipe out what was left of the day. At this time, David did not bother Arturia, but silently glanced at her and left.
Finally, two days ago, when he passed the restaurant, he happened to see Arturia at the door who was about to enter the restaurant. At that time, he just smiled politely, and then left as if nothing happened.
The King of Knights is in some ways a stubborn king. Knights have their own creed, and maintain these creeds and strictly abide by it, so knights and mercenaries are not the same. A knight who walks the path of order is never accessible to a mercenary who kills for money.
As the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, the King of Knights strictly abides by the creed of the Knights of the Round Table than anyone else, and because she abides by it all the time, Arturia's life has become very regular. If there is no other Changes can even be done in the same way, including supper time.
In other words, David actually knew very well that when Joan of Arc and Roman entered the restaurant to play feeding, Arturia would appear shortly after.
The obstacle called the King of Knights has been cleared.
…
Sleep is a pleasant thing, because a person in sleep is resting, his body and mind are relaxing, and it is a time when a person returns to nature.
So sometimes even just watching someone else sleeping is a pleasure to watch. But this is the exception in Roman and Matthew. Once upon a time, Roman watched Mash fall asleep in horror, and waited for Mash to wake up from sleep.
This phenomenon is especially serious when Matthew's body is in trouble. I still remember that after Matthew left the isolation room for the first time, because his body could not withstand the damage to his fragile body by external forces, Matthew's body was in critical condition, and finally returned to the isolation room and fell into a coma.
When she woke up, the first thing she saw was Roman's extremely worried eyes, and her moved face when she woke up.
At that time, Mash didn't understand people's hearts and couldn't understand Roman's reaction, and took it for granted. Looking back now, Roman was the one who cared about her more than anyone else, and recalling all of Roman's past, the memory alone was enough to move Matthew.
At that time, when the word "Dad" was uttered under the instigation of Lixiang, Matthew had a greater expectation than ever in his heart. When Roman was rejected, Matthew was more lost than ever.
But Matthew couldn't understand why Roman refused her.
There's nothing false about Roman's concern for Matthew. Although I'm sorry for Rika, Matthew feels that Roman cares for her more than Rika, and she is more like Roman's daughter than Rika.
But I can't figure it out, why is it like this?
Don't get me wrong, Matthew didn't mean to complain, just curious...and, every time I think about it, I feel lost.
PS: Because the previous readers pointed out that the character characterization has regressed, I tried to make up for it as much as possible to make the character image more full.
Chapter 637 Chapter 165 Interlude 2
"Matthew, what's your relationship with Dr. Roman?"
"It's the guardian and the ward."
In the morning, Matthew, who woke up from the dormitory, was walking in the corridor and met David who was also walking in the corridor.
Unlike ordinary Servants, sub-servants still have human bodies, so they need to maintain a good routine to protect their bodies. Sometimes Matthew envy them, because only this tireless body can better protect the seniors.
The two walked together and chatted, and David suddenly asked about the relationship between Matthew and David.
"Why does Mr. David ask such a question, is there something strange between me and Dr. Roman?"
It seems that this is the first time that someone asked about their relationship with Dr. Roman. Although Arturia and Jeanne had such doubts, they would not ask Matthew directly, but obtained the final result through other people's side-talking. Answer.
"I'm just curious. When I chat with other people occasionally, they talk about the relationship between Matthew and Dr. Roman, so I wonder what Matthew thinks of Dr. Roman."
David's answer made Matthew feel strange, but he didn't find the strangeness.
Matthew's answer did not satisfy David, but he did not pursue the question further.
In fact, during this time, David has gained everyone's trust. Under his conscious or unintentional guidance, he had also heard the intimate relationship between Roman and Matthew in everyone's words, but he felt that it was not enough, so he hoped to get a more detailed answer.
There is no more intuitive result than the client's answer, but the option to ask Roman was passed from the beginning, so David went to Matthew. Now it seems that trying to get an answer from the innocent Mash seems to be unsatisfactory.
David thought he could ask Lixiang. After becoming an accomplice last night, David felt that his relationship with Lixiang was closer, and Lixiang would be happy to answer this question.
In this matter, David showed greed that was different from his character.
But David can probably understand the truth. Maybe Matthew, like Lixiang, is Roman's adopted daughter.
"How have you been feeling recently? I haven't seen a sub-servant before, and I'm a little curious about the sub-servant... Will it be very hard?"
Taking the responsibility of a Servant with the power of a Servant is beyond the child's tolerance, right?
"Me? Don't worry, Mr. David. I'm fine. And Dr. Roman is very skilled. He said my body was 'normal'."
"That's it, that's fine."
David's sudden concern for Matthew makes Matthew very strange. This kind of concern is different from the concern between friends and comrades in arms, but more like the care of relatives. This kind of feeling will only appear in Roman, Mona Lisa and Lixiang, but David's care is too natural, making people feel unobtrusive.
Probably because David was a saint loved by God. Just like Joan of Arc, they always treated their friends with tenderness, and it was easy to get everyone's kindness.
