[Today's second update is sent, asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, and recommended tickets]

After dinner, Arthur sat down with Okita Soji and Joan of Arc, who had changed into civilian clothes, and ate together.

To Arthur's surprise, although Joan of Arc seems quiet and docile, she also has a cute side, and has a very good appetite when eating, and she eats two-thirds of the food on the table in an instant, and only after eating, will she show a shy expression.

Although Joan of Arc has no regrets about her death, there are some similarities between her experience and that of Artoria.

The saint guarded the country and the people, but the country and the people failed to protect the saint, and even then there was no regret, because she had completed her duty, even if she died, she had no regrets, and the heroic spirit that should not have been summoned appeared in this world.

Arthur had a feeling that he couldn't bear it, after all, it was just his selfishness to let her continue to be involved in such a war.

The Heroic Spirit, who was originally the one who maintained the order of the Holy Grail, is now involved in the war as a Servant, and she may suffer every time she defeats someone, after all, in Joan of Arc's eyes, everything in this world is what she has to protect, not to defeat someone for victory, but for the sake of noble protection.

After dinner, Okita Soji rested, and Arthur and Joan of Arc cleaned up the entire house, after all, they were going to live for a while.

While cleaning, Arthur looked at Joan of Arc with a gratifying glow.

However, there are some things that need to be made clear.

"Joan of Arc, my goal is not only in this war, my goal is to become a king and protect the true order of this universe, so I cannot afford to fail. Therefore, it is necessary to carry sin on this path, and to achieve one's goals even if it hurts others.

I've been through a lot, and although I started with the will that everyone can be happy, but that will didn't include myself, and there was a time when I was guarding a world, but I was going to die. But in the end, someone died in my place, and she gave her life for me to protect me.

At that moment I realized that I was just running away, fantasizing that if I couldn't be happy in a world where everyone was happy, then the dream was false from the start. ”

Arthur wanted to make his point.

"I ...... Knowing that at the moment of summoning, Joan of Arc shared part of the Master's memories, and the king guarded the world, but the king himself became the Black Grail. Those who loved the king awakened the king with chaste blood. ”

Joan of Arc admires Arthur incomparably, although she is a saint, but Arthur is also a saint, but she only guards a nation and a country, and there are countless bones under her feet, and the pursuit of justice will inevitably accompany the death of life.

But Arthur treats vampires and humans equally, protects everything, and he is a hero in her heart.

"So this war us. No, I can't fail. I'll do my best to reduce casualties, but I'm not going to cowardly stop the blade in my hand, soβ€”

Joan of Arc, I want to be a king, a king who can truly establish the order of the universe, and I only believe that I can achieve such a world. I know that people like me should not be called human beings, because human beings will not be as kind as me, so I only believe in myself. But the king's path was accompanied by countless corpses and bones, destined to be stained with blood on his hands.

You are pure, Joan of Arc, and I would rather be killed by you than forced to be my butcher's knife, so please come to your senses at this moment, Joan of Arc!

If you go forward with me, your hands will be stained with blood, but you can do it your own way, you are free......"

Arthur looked at the bright moon in the sky, smiled and said-

"You are very much like me, and I am very much like you, so I will be very happy to be betrayed by you, because you are able to uphold your own righteousness, so you can choose your path, and if you think my future is sinful, then please kill me now or leave me.

But if you want to stay, then you have to be prepared to bear the sin with me. ”

β€œMaster!”

Joan of Arc's eyes were shining with tears, Arthur was as dazzling as a god at the moment, for her, it was really good to be able to serve such a master, Arthur definitely did not embark on this path with selfish wishes, so even if his hands were stained with blood, it was still sacrosanct-

"There must be a victor in this war, and although I am righteous, I am definitely not ignorant and stupid, so the moment I decided that the Master is a saint, I have already decided to fight for the Master's long-cherished wish, for the sake of the Master, Joan of Arc is willing to give everything, and my soul will never turn its back.

The sin is borne by us together, in order to achieve the ideal world, in these worlds, the only one that can make me approve is Master you, so how can Joan of Arc turn his back on you, I will go side by side with you until the moment when the power of my life and soul is destroyed. ”

"I, Artoria, and you are all the same kind of people, so I like Artoria, and I like you."

Arthur said simply.

"Really?"

Joan of Arc's face showed a hint of crimson, as if the mood of a girl had been shaken, she had never liked anyone in her life as a saint and pursued justice, but Arthur was different, she was the ideal object of her heart, and there really was such a person in the world.

"Okay, let's go to sleep, tomorrow we will have a serious battle, first of all, the collection of intelligence."

Arthur stretched his tired body, the seal of the rank, the body is really a little unaccustomed, and he will be tired from working, but he feels very happy to be able to express his heart to Joan of Arc, after all, it is a happiness to be able to understand him, and he will gradually learn how to be a king.

There can be no more ending to the Seraphic world like the end, and Mordred's death because of him has allowed him to see the world clearly.

This is not a gentle world, so those gentleness cannot be given to the enemy, his gentleness is only himself and the people around him, it's time to pick up the sickle.

Even God's hands have the presence of killing angels, with light and darkness in their hands.

Gentleness and cowardice are two different concepts, otherwise Arthur would not have come to this point, he is changing himself, understanding the world more clearly, before saving the world, first save himself and the people around him, these can only be done to be able to think more.

A gentle death is not the solution to everything, and people only come to their senses after something has happened.

The disappearance of Mordred made Arthur decide to embark on a path where light and darkness go hand in hand, gentleness and killing! (To be continued.) )
