In the cold tent, the moonlight shines through the canvas. Qing didn't light the lamp, and sat quietly on her makeshift 'bed'. The long sword was placed squarely beside the bed, and the faint moonlight on his face looked even colder. Because he was removed from his position by Artoriaque------

[In the name of King Arthur, I have removed you from your position as the commander of the infantry in the name of King Arthur!] Now I appoint you as a casual man in the army! Tomorrow morning I will report to Sir Kay. Okay, now we're going to talk about a more detailed plan. You get out------]

In this way, Qing left the camp silently with a feeling that she was about to cry. And then it became like this.

Qing went to bed heavily, but his armor didn't take off, and his feet didn't mean to leave the ground. I want to be quiet like this, so that I can feel better------------

But how can this be so comfortable?! I spent five years out and five years to train myself! But when I came back in a hurry, I ushered in this situation!? The person who originally admired and longed for him has become a high king, and later he wants to show the results of his efforts. But what I ushered in was still a failure! King Ruth's attack may have given him a chance, and he volunteered to come forward to meet him, hoping to make her notice him again. Qing succeeded, and successfully defeated the enemy army under the city. Qing used to be naïve enough to think that everything was going to be fine, but once again she was hit hard. At that time----- Artoria's face was imprinted with arrogance and unquestionable emotion-------

"Alas~~~---------"

Sighing heavily, Qing's mind was in a mess now, and Qing didn't even have the strength to lift a finger. I just want to lie down quietly all the time.

"Is there no will to fight so soon? I think ~ five years of hardship have not erased your passion, you shouldn't be crushed by such a little blow, right? ”

A blue light flashed, and Egg landed on Qing's head. Then, in a panic, it was driven away from its head by Qing.

"You won't understand the feeling of heartache----- you won't understand the -----"

"----------- have you always thought so----- have ---- always been a demon without any freedom in your eyes? ---------”

"-----------------I'm sorry--- I just can't take ---- -----"

Qing twisted his head to the side, and the corners of his eyes felt a little hot. Don't look at Egger, who was hurt by himself because he wanted to cheer him up. I don't have the face to face him, it's because I've gone too far, and I'm angry with people who care about me for my own reasons------ I'm really bad!

"Egger--- what happened just now----- I didn't ------- right."

"Humph! Of course, the noble Lord Iger would not care about such trivial matters. And you really should do some soul-searching! ”

Egger swept away the breath of grief and indignation, and it would always be happy when it was free, just as any troubles would not disturb it. In this way, it hummed an unknown song and danced on Qing's side.

"Na~! ---Egger, do you think I should fight for it at the end---- maybe --- this war won't start------"

Qing did it all of a sudden, and touched the corners of his eyes without a trace, as if he was rubbing his nose. If you can rely on the favors left over from her early years, Qing thinks that this may be able to stop this battle that embarrasses both sides--------- maybe --- Li thinks the same way by demoting herself to a partner, right? ------

Thinking of this, Qing's mood couldn't help but relax, and his depressed mood was released. The smile that had always been on his lips was revealed.

"Individual heroism? --- Yanqing, do you really think that you can change this situation? And, if he doesn't promise. Will you slay him as you have killed countless enemies? ”

Egger gave advice, and he knew Ao's character very well. Qing is a brainless, egotistical person. To put it bluntly, the thought of someone who won't do it is someone who will never do it!

"I don't know. I guess I can at least go and fight for it at the last time. At least that---- I've done my best, haven't I? -----”

Qing said and quietly walked out of the tent, and Egg quickly followed, stopping on Qing's shoulder.

Try not to make a noise. ’

Qing uses the causal thread to send a message to Egg, because this is a top-secret operation! Because if this is discovered, then even if Leigh tries to save herself, it will be useless! He will definitely be accused of treason by the nobles and sent to the gallows or burned at the stake!

'Rest assured! Don't forget that I know how to do magic! ’

'Magic isn't for that!' ’

Relying on his strong strength, Qing passed through the tents where the people were already sleeping without any movement. Even Qing took the time to look at Artoria's tent, which had already turned off the lights.

Quietly bypassed the soldiers who were patrolling, and did not alert the enemy scouts who were peeping. In this way, Qing came to the lower reaches of the Gran River unharmed. This is the meeting place of the two armies! In other words, no one will come here until the real war starts!

Qing walked into the river, and because of the nervousness just now, Qing was now very thirsty. Therefore, according to the habit of living in the forest in the past, Qing directly picked up the flowing river water and drank it.

"I think it's not just as simple as drinking water when you come out!"

【Puff~~~~~】

The sudden sound directly shattered the strange silence, and Qing wiped the corners of his mouth. The sound scared me just now, and the water I just drank squirted out!

"Morgan~How did you come to this kind of place~ It scared me."

Qing pretended to be calm and turned his head to look at the woman who was particularly familiar with Artoria, they were sisters Qing had only recently learned.

"You know why I'm here! And the question is why do you want to come here sneakily alone. “

Morgan's words were as aggressive as she walked in.

"I want to stop this war! Li--- and Carman--- they're all my friends! I don't want them to kill each other, I think ---- can do something --- this---"

Qing was stared at quietly by Morgan's clear gaze, Qing who was not a lie in the first place, between the knight's oath. Qing spoke his mind directly, but lacked a convincing tone.

"Alas~~ I really don't know what to say about you. At least add a little mystery to yourself, so that you will please women----- hum~. Putting that aside, do you really think so? Stop this war? “

"Yes! Of course! I don't know if I'll make it, but I'll do my best! As a friend-----"

In the face of these, Qing has a clear conscience! Qing can look Morgan in the eye and convey his thoughts to her! Morgan, on the other hand, staggered his gaze when Qing looked directly into her eyes, his face was slightly reddened-----

"Then you go------- I will wait for you in your tent when you come back." I'll set you up to look like you're still there-----"

Morgan leaned sideways with one hand on his arm, his voice as soft and delicate as a girl's whisper-------

"------- then--- I'll take my leave first------"

Qing silently looked at the delicate woman, and turned back to the downstream Grand City. Qing didn't know how to face her like this----- she might never be able to receive her love------ but Qing couldn't be ruthless and tear her dream apart. ----- Qing couldn't do it, but he had to do it! -----Maybe --- will have the courage to come up one day, right?

Qing jumped and landed steadily on the embankment a few meters away. Qing knew that this was just a slight jump, and he could jump farther! And this powerful bouncing power is not magical! The strength of one's muscles has increased over time, but the size of the muscles has never appeared, as if time has been frozen -------

"You're not going to hurt the country, are you?!!!"

Morgan shouted loudly across the river. The breeze whipped through her delicate body, like her heart, ready to break at any moment-------

"Of course not!! I swore once!! I want to protect her forever and ever!!! ”

A loud response, this is the best answer that Qing is enough to give! It is also the answer that stabilized the trembling heart!

Without any hesitation, Qing didn't need to look back. Qing had already seen that An's reassuring smile.

Qing walked away slowly, and the night was still very long.

The faint glow of the moon illuminated the city of Glen, a barren land that had been invaded. Comfortably bypass the enemy's same reconnaissance troops, because Qing has Egger as a guide.

'Qing, wait here for ten seconds. There's a group of people in front, and when they pass, we'll be able to enter the city------ I can't imagine that after three years, we'll meet old friends on the other side of the battlefield in three years--------"
