Chapter 100 Unwilling to Believe My King
As soon as he looked up, Ethan saw Ilia sitting there bored and dazed... and Artoria, who was also sitting aside, dazed.
"Yo? Why do you look listless?"
Because Ethan and the others appeared too suddenly and there was no sign at all, Artoria realized that when an "outsider" appeared, she had already seen clearly that Skaha was coming.
Because she had seen it before, Artoria did not change into a fighting posture as soon as possible, but she still maintained a certain degree of vigilance.
"Uh... these two are..."
At this moment, Shirou happened to walk out with a tray, with some fruits and drinks on it, which seemed to be taken out for these two people.
He was not panicked when he saw Skaha. Shirou Emiya in this world did not really participate in the Holy Grail War. Although he encountered some magical things, in general, he was still a high school boy with no combat experience and would not be as alert as a real warrior.
"What? Don't you know me anymore?"
What surprised everyone was the first to answer was the child who looked younger than Ilia. Such a cute child could easily make people feel good, but why was his tone of speaking a bit strange?
"Shirou...this child...seems to be..."
As the only combat-capable servant among the few, Artoria was the first to notice Ethan's specialness, and Ilia frowned and observed for a while, then asked in an uncertain tone.
"Ba...ssa...ka?"
"The reaction is very fast, Ilia."
"Ha?"
Shiro Emiya's suspicion sounded almost indiscriminately, while Skaha turned around without hesitation and found that Kuchulin was not there.
"Setant... Is Kuchurin not here?"
"Mr. Kuchulin... He said that he had a rare opportunity to live a relaxed life in this world. He wanted to experience the lifestyle of ordinary people, so he found a job... He would come back after get off work."
According to Shiro Emiya's explanation, because Ethan cut off the contract between Kuchurin and his emperor, Kirei Yomiya, Kirei, so Kuchurin did not want to return to Kirei Yomiya. In addition, the Holy Grail War was inexplicably destroyed, so he did not want to return to Hei Spirit Chamber directly for the time being, so he stayed at the Emiya family and refused to leave.
Fortunately, Kuchulin is not the kind of person who is willing to make money by relying on his job. He goes out to find a job and earns some money. From time to time, he buys some things to bring them back as food and accommodation expenses.
Shirou Emiya did not express his refusal or dissatisfaction with this. Anyway, he was surrounded by Artoria who was completely free to eat and drink, and with the extremely rich sister Ilia, it was nothing to stay here.
Apart from Sakura Maki and Okawa Fujimura, who is currently the guardian of Shiro Emiya, he was surprised that the Emiya family had so many "guests" at once, so he did not worry too much about the identities of these people.
But when I learned that Iriya was actually Kiritsugu's daughter, Fujimura Okawa was a little crazy for a while, everything was calm.
"So all the heroes of this Holy Grail War remain in this life and never return?"
Sitting in the living room again, Ethan leaned comfortably on Diana's body. This was the only benefit of her body getting smaller. She could lie in Diana's arms and chew the orange petals that Skaha occasionally stuffed over. Ethan was under the 'scrutiny' eyes of several people, while asking what had happened after she left.
"It should be... According to what Tosaka classmate told me, the heroic servants I have seen should not have left."
Shiro Emiya counted and said that he had seen six of them, including Ethan, and there was only one cavalry hero who had never seen them so far, so he was not sure about the situation.
"I was a little surprised that everyone enjoyed a peaceful life."
In Shirou Umiya's original understanding, these heroic servants were very powerful heroes and were summoned for fighting and fighting. If the Holy Grail War cannot be fought, they might leave directly, but they all like to enjoy such ordinary and quiet days. It seems that they are not the kind of warlike and bloodthirsty existence they think.
"After all, before they become heroes, they were human beings."
Ethan looked at Artoria, who was a little embarrassed across the street.
"And not everyone enjoys this kind of life."
The man in front of him was definitely not included. Without the series of events that occurred in the Holy Grail War, Artoria did not untie the knot. She was still pursuing that illusory dream, but because the Holy Grail War was so embarrassingly 'eliminated', she was a little confused now. She didn't know if this Holy Grail War was really over. By the way, she protected Shirou Emiya and Ilia, and fulfilled her obligations.
When she is sure that there will be no danger, she will ask Shirou Emiya to terminate the contract with her and leave here. Ethan once said that the world seems to be slowly returning to its original state. Perhaps this means that the Holy Grail War will still occur. She wants to wait until it is "recovered" before leaving, so that there may be a chance to participate in the Holy Grail War.
Shirou Emiya looked at Artoria next to him. He still couldn't figure out what this young female swordsman usually thought. Most of the time, she sat there quietly. Except for the slight change in expression when eating, she was like a sculpture.
When he learned that Artoria had participated in the last Holy Grail War as a servant of Kiritsu, he wanted to ask her more about Kiritsu, but every time he mentioned this topic, he found that the girl's face became very ugly, so he stopped mentioning this topic except for the first two times.
In addition, he was also curious about the other party's identity, because the true identity of the heroic servant he met was no longer a secret, and even another one was his future self, and he seemed to be very upset about himself?
Although it was unbelievable, he had accepted this fact and was also curious about who his servant was?
An unknown hero? A hero from the future? Or a familiar legendary existence?
Unfortunately, he still doesn't know the answer.
Listening to Shiro Emiya that Kuchulin had already worked three short-term jobs in half a month, and he also found a relatively long temporary job before the short-term job was over. He seemed to be very adaptable to the current life.
Medea lives with Sojoon. In addition to work, Sojoon is also working hard to learn swordsmanship with Sasaki Kojiro.
Emia, who is the future self, lives at Rin Tosaka's home. Rin Tosaka, a classmate who already has a young lady temperament, is now surrounded by a tall butler, and the young lady's aura is even more powerful.
In addition, everyone's magic loop has also recovered. Although there is still no way to release any magic, you can already feel the magic power. It seems that the rules that have been twisted by Ethan are about to fully recover.
Even so, the servants did not have the idea of re-opening the war and still lived a peaceful daily life.
"It's pretty good to do this. It's rare to 'out' once, and it's good to enjoy a different and pure life? Are you right? Artoria?" Ethan looked at Artoria who was originally calm and closed her eyes and looked at herself, and suddenly opened her eyes and looked at her: "Or should you call you Arthur Pandragon?"
"puff!"
"puff!"
There were two voices that were shocked by Saber's identity and spit out the things in his mouth.
One is Saber's Imperial Master, which is the owner of Emiya Shirou.
The other one is that Diana, who was regarded as a backrest by Ethan, sprayed Ethan's orange head. Ethan suspected that she did it on purpose. How could such a little scare make her react so much?
Shiro Emiya was shocked by the fact that even Skaha next to him looked a little surprised. Did she really not expect that the legendary King Arthur was such a little girl?
"You know my identity."
"certainly."
Wiping his hair with the towel handed over by Shiro Emiya, Ethan sat upright and wondered if it was an illusion. When he sat down again, it seemed that some dissatisfaction with him became less?
"I guess you know what I'm actually doing."
"Yes."
Ethan's answer made Artoria's hands, which had been on her legs, suddenly clenched. She was not nervous because of her identity being exposed, but wanted to ask Ethan a few questions. She did not terminate the contract with Shirou. In addition to the above reasons, the biggest reason was that she wanted to wait for Ethan to come back.
"So do you think...my wish is possible?"
"It depends on what your wish is?" Ethan casually fiddled with the orange slices piled up in front of him, posing like playing puzzles, as if he was not interested in the topics mentioned by Artoria. However, his answer still attracted everyone's attention, so no one cared about him's "stoppable": "Do you want to save Britain that you once controlled... or save Britain."
"Is there any difference?" Artoria didn't understand Ethan's meaning very well.
"If it's just Britain... I just want to say Britain is pretty good and you don't need to worry about it."
Before Artoria could ask, Ethan continued.
"If it was your Britain... although that country was in chaos, you were not dead... Although it was almost dead, it was not difficult to cure it well. Then you can solve those problems with your own strength. When you solve all the problems and the country is back on track, wouldn't it be equivalent to saving Britain?"
"No...I think..." Artoria seemed to have lost all her strength and sat there with her head down: "I think...I can't do it."
"So you're willing to believe in a cup, not yourself?"
Artoria stopped talking, but compared to saving Britain or something, others were concerned about something else.
