Chapter 302: An Alternative Date
[Today's fifth update is sent, asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and recommended tickets]
There are many kinds of dating, but Arthur thinks that he and Snow under the Snow have chosen the most alternative one.
A date trip to wash dishes together.
It's really the limit of alternatives, right?
But there is a super warm feeling, and being able to experience this kind of daily life together is not necessarily a kind of satisfaction and happiness.
If Joan of Arc is simply holy, a closeness of mutual trust with whom he can walk together, then the snow under the snow is the part of him that is vacant, and it feels like to be able to put warm hands behind his back to push him forward when he is struggling.
It is true that Yukino can't stand on the same line with Arthur under the snow, and there is a fundamental hedge between her and Arthur's dreams, even if both of them want the world to be perfect and balanced, but there are still differences.
Snow under the snow wants to fundamentally reform the bad nature of the world and make all kinds of injustice disappear into the world, but that is just her long-cherished wish, compared to Arthur's dream is more down-to-earth, wanting the world to achieve true order and peace.
Arthur did not expect a radical change between good people and bad people, in his understanding, there are no good people and no bad people in the world, good and bad are just a kind of definition theory formed by most people, how good is a good person? How bad is a bad person?
In fact, the selfishness of human nature only prejudices the people who are good for themselves as 'good people' and the people who are harmful to themselves as 'bad people', and the 'bad people' never think of themselves as evil, and the 'good people' are not absolutely good.
Arthur has the ambition to encompass the entire universe, and what he wants to protect is the order of the world, so that the increasingly crumbling earth can return to the universe, and the universe that has been almost destroyed can be restored to peace.
His idea of a king who rules by doing nothing is something that those people don't have. Therefore, it is not hypocrisy or foolishness for him to be king and embrace the world with his 'love'.
Pure and immaculate dreams, the king's dreams never had happiness of their own, Arthur, the same as Artoria, the same as Joan of Arc......
But why did Artoria make a pact with the Holy Grail and re-elect the king?
She regretted that she had not had enough power as a king, which was not the case. Her life is bright enough, she did not abandon her dreams, but was abandoned by the people and the country, and this ending is only because-
There was no one who understood her.
Arthur, who has read the legend of King Arthur, knows that in the final scene of King Arthur's disappearance, some people in the Knights of the Round Table talk about the king not understanding people's hearts, in fact, Arthur thinks that it is not that Artoria does not understand people's hearts, but that Artoria does not contain his happiness in his dreams at all.
Arthur repeats the same dream, but with the help of Snow under the snow. Pushing him into his dreams, having people who understand him makes him fulfill.
Arthur understands that if he can't even fulfill his dreams. Then the world is even more incomplete, so he is also chasing his own happiness in the journey of pursuing his dreams, guarding himself and the people around him.
It seems that the two are in conflict, but is it necessary to realize the dream of the world on the basis of forgetting one's own dream?
The ideal hometown of independence. The distant ideal country, Avalon, is the place where the king sleeps. But it was so lonely there, and the dream of the king was separated from the dream of the world, but since it was the same source, it was possible to be united.
Arthur had to follow a correct and gentle path, not only to the world but also to himself.
Artoria dreams of this day, too, so—
The knight maiden was expecting Arthur to be reunited with him at that moment.
Fulfill an unattainable dream of Arthur's past and Artoria's past.
And the presence of Yukino under the snow in such a road is necessary, and the existence of girls like her, this kind of girl, who cannot walk side by side with Arthur, but can hug him from behind and fill his back with warmth.
“……”
Arthur, who was thinking, couldn't help but grab the last plate, and under the snow Xue Nai also grabbed the last plate, the fingers of the two people were intertwined at this moment, but the cold water couldn't make the fingers the same cold, their eyes were facing each other, and the corners of each other's mouths smiled-
It's finally coming to an end.
"Alright, you call it a day......
Under the snow, Yukino let go.
"No, Yukino, we're together."
Arthur grabbed Yukino's fingers under the snow, afraid that she would disappear in front of him.
"Hmm...... Well, in case the 'clumsy' you break the plate, I'll help...... However, it's not for nothing today, even in pseudo-love, this kind of date is too unfriendly! ”
Xue Nai said that she was standing with Arthur washing the last plate, she also had something to get from Arthur, which she had been looking for, and I really hope that one day she would be able to step towards life without hesitation like Arthur, and move forward correctly, the existence of men and women in the world is probably because they want to get something from each other.
However, Arthur, who is pure rough stone, still has a lot of things for Xue Nai to excavate under the snow, and that kind of sparkle is leaking little by little, like dripping rain, hitting her face little by little, warming her face and washing her world away from the dust.
So, ah-
"Come with me to my world, I have been away from home for so long, and I have left without a sound, my family is also worried, when I see your face, I will always think that I can't escape, I want to be the right me, but I need you to give me courage.
This time as a boyfriend introduced you to my family.
And I need a little living expenses to live here, don't I, it's not good to trust you all the time, I'm going to go to my parents to withdraw some living expenses, their daughters always need money to live in this world, right?
The answer is -
YesOR.No?”
“Yes!”
Arthur nodded and agreed, Xue Naiyi also wants to alleviate his economic crisis, right? It's true that I have to support that group of Lori now.,I don't know how many jobs I have to do in my spare time......
"That's good, if you don't refuse my kindness, it means that you have grown, and I can't eat and drink for nothing, can I? Wouldn't I be even more incompetent then? ”
Under the snow breathed a sigh of relief, Arthur also grew, and answered so decisively.
"Well, not at all, with Xue Nai you, I will be much easier, if you don't have the ability, I will be even less capable, I need you to give me courage to move forward."
Arthur smiled and said, he naturally has to grow up, otherwise he will continue to be stupid, how can he carry out the pseudo-love with the snow to the end? (To be continued.) )
