The flagship of the Galactic Coalition Army, the lounge of the Admiral of the Empire.
Everyone was now on the journey back to Earth. In about half an hour, we would arrive at our destination.
Originally, if we wanted to return to Earth, we could use a plane passage and it wouldn't take more than a blink of an eye. But this time, we were accompanied by a lot of 'special passengers'. Of course, it wasn't Enosaka or Wei Miya, but Saber and Archer who had just completed their transformation, as well as a few other newly promoted Heroic Spirits of Avalon, including Medusa. Yep, there was also Ge Munichiro, an ordinary Earthling, who was Midea's family.
Unlike Enosaka and Wei Miya, who couldn't leave the world they grew up in emotionally, Ge Munichiro had almost no feelings about his previous living environment. This iron-masked man who never spoke a word in front of us only had one request: to be able to protect Midea (this was also her strong desire). As long as he achieved this goal, he would have no problem following her to Hell. Touched by the dedication of this cold-faced but warm-hearted man, I specially approved his application to settle down in Avalon with Midea. Sandora helped him register as a household register, and my sister arranged a teaching job for him in the City of Shadows. Artemis also specially approved two hundred dollars for the young couple in the name of the Avalon Neighborhood Committee …
As for the other Heroic Spirits, they were basically just curious to join in the fun.
Even though they were now officially part of the empire's military, the great majority of them had never had the experience of riding on an empire's airship. The heroic spirits were incredibly curious about all this, so they naturally wanted to experience what it would be like to ride on a so-called high-tech airship. Since we weren't in a rush for time, we gave up on the simple and fast Dimensional Passage and chose to ride this giant cross back.
"But I didn't expect it to be so boring."
Sasaki said in boredom as he carefully wiped his sword and bamboo pole while biting on a toothpick.
"How interesting do you think a spaceship expedition can be?"
Cuchulin still had a band-aid on his forehead. He was the only one among the group of new Heroic Spirit recruits who voted against the idea of returning by ship, but he was ignored by the group.
"At least there should be some shaking and turbulence of acceleration and deceleration." Sasaki yawned. "At least it shouldn't be like this. Other than a bunch of machines that I don't understand, it's no different from staying on the ground!"
Shaking … Jolting …
Before I could say anything, Medusa, who was practicing her triple jump with her head down, ridiculed me without even lifting her head, "A spaceship that is hundreds of kilometers long? Do you want to go back in a magnitude 12 earthquake? "
"The real Japanese are used to vibrations!"
Then, the group of heroic spirits ignored him.
"Saber, Red A, come here." I looked at the two people who hadn't spoken much and seemed to have a lot on their minds. I got up and walked to the room next door. "I have something to tell you."
Artoria and Red A stood up in confusion, and behind them, a group of unscrupulous heroic spirits whispered among themselves.
"Hey, Cuchulin, do you think the boss wants to talk about the salary?"
"What do you usually think about? It's either an earthquake or a bonus … "
"You've been with the boss for a long time. Sister with purple hair, what do you think of the boss?"
"The boss is a nice person … Stop messing around! I opened the chest! I washed my hands three times just for this box! "
I had to admit that after I accidentally heard a voice coming from behind me, I held onto the wall and left.
On the chair in the lounge, Saber sat with a serious expression and looked straight ahead like a soldier waiting to be scolded. Red A, on the other hand, had an indifferent look on his face as he leaned against the back of the chair casually, but his eyes were still serious.
"Among this group of heroic spirits, the two of you are the only ones who have a real and strong desire, and it's a pity that you haven't achieved your goal yet," I said as I took a small plate from the side. "Do you want some rice crust?"
"You prepared this on the military flagship?"
Red A said in surprise.
Pfft, there was a barbecue street two kilometers away from the bridge. Sandora had been enjoying herself there for three hours.
"Shiro Emiya, are you still planning to kill your past self?" First, I changed my target to the most awkward person in the entire Fate world, Red A who traveled through time and space.
Archer, or rather, the heroic spirit Wei Emiya, was stunned after hearing what I said. Then, he smiled in relief and said, "Alright, I'm not surprised that you know anything."
Artoria looked at us strangely. She was very confused by my sudden call of Red A as Shiro Emiya. I didn't hide it from her, and I told her the truth as the time-traveling Wei Gong rolled his eyes.
It was simple. Red A was Shiro Emiya. He was the future Shiro Emiya who carried out his idea of becoming a "partner of justice" until his death. He became a heroic spirit and became the guardian of Gaia.
Guardian, such a glorious title. It sounded as if Emiya's wish had finally been fulfilled. He became a partner of justice and was born to protect the happiness of others, but …
Fate was a nonsensical thing. It would never let you have a smooth sailing life, especially for a man with a tragic back view like Red A.
From the first time I came into contact with Fate, I felt that this Whitebrowed Swordsman who only had his back view was full of tragedy. Although it seemed that Cuchulin, who had been possessed by Xianglin Sao, was even more unlucky, this couldn't cover up Red A's brilliance.
A guardian was nothing more than a scavenger. He protected the world, which meant that if an existence that threatened the world appeared, he would have to stand up and destroy it.
In fact, it might even be the entire country, the entire race, or even the innocent, old, weak, women, and children. In the name of 'saving', even the most precious of lives would be erased with the words' necessary sacrifice '. This was Shiro Emiya's true ending. He pursued and worked hard for his entire life, and he even lost his beloved wife. In the end, he became nothing more than a scavenger who slaughtered countless people in the name of protecting the world.
That was why he denied his original intention. He believed that it was his childish fantasy of "wanting to save everyone" that led to this ending. As if he was escaping, he came to the past and wanted to kill his past self to end everything from the source.
"How embarrassing, isn't it?" After finishing the story for me, Red A smiled mockingly at himself. Then, he turned to look at the girl who was staring at him in shock. "Although it's a little late, I still want to say hello. Long time no see, Saber."
The two different figures in her memory finally overlapped. The blonde girl opened her mouth and pointed at the man in front of her. Then, she looked at me.
"Unbelievable, right? The time paradox was destroyed just like that. "I curled my lips and faced Red A." The first thing I want to tell you today is that don't even think about erasing your past self. It's useless. "
Heroic Spirit Wei Emiya didn't say a word. He only looked at me without moving.
"Time has supreme power in any world. This is what my other lover told me. She has the power to control time. As far as I know, other than her, no one else can tamper with history. If you really kill your past self with your own hands, the best outcome is that the world will split into two and form a parallel universe without Emiya. As for you, nothing will change."
"I know." Contrary to my expectations, the Heroic Spirit Guardian shrugs his shoulders. "Although I'm not as knowledgeable as you, from the very start, I never had any intentions of changing the future. Killing that unrealistic fellow was just an escape … or rather, revenge. But, if you're worried that I'll skip work to kill myself, then you don't have to worry. Right now, I no longer have any interest in dealing with that brat — — He's different from me, and I've long noticed that."
Indeed, after we appeared, Shiro Emiya's life path had already been twisted into a mess. Not to mention, based on the current development, Shiro Emiya would probably end up with Sakura. With a Crystal Virgin as his wife, would he still have the chance to sacrifice himself for the world? Sakura's current combat power was at least 100,000!
"Then, enjoy your new life." I smiled in relief. To be honest, I was worried that this awkward fellow would suddenly want to kill me again. "Although fighting and killing are unavoidable when you serve the Empire, it will definitely be much better than your previous life."
"And then, there's you, Artoria."
Compared to Red A, who had already traveled through time and space, this girl in front of me also wanted to change the past. She was a reserve girl who traveled through time and space.
Hello, everyone. Let me introduce myself once again. I am a person who doesn't travel through time and space.
"I also want to return to the past and change my fate. To be honest, the two of you are the ones who give me the most headaches. But now, it seems that your problem might be easier to solve." I thought for a while and took out something that I had prepared beforehand. "You can play with this when you get back."
Artoria took it with a puzzled expression. When she looked at it, she was instantly embarrassed.
There was a pirated copy of "King Arthur", a pirated copy of "Mist of Avalon", a pirated copy of "Invincible Kings", a pirated copy of "Knights of the Round Table", and a pirated copy of "Jin Ping Mei" … The last one was the wrong one.
Err, you're asking why these are all pirated?
Err, do you still remember the Sicaros under the Erli Bridge?
I quickly took back the suspicious disc that was mixed in and smiled awkwardly. "Didn't you just want to see what path Britain would have taken if it wasn't you who pulled out the Stone Sword? These aren't all fake stories, but real history from another parallel world. Of course, they have undergone some artistic processing, but perhaps they can help you restore another version of yourself. "
Saber didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the stack of discs in her hand. She shook her head and smiled bitterly at me. "Chen, I thank you for your concern, but these … are really not that simple …"
"Of course I know," I exhaled. "I don't know how to persuade you. Words are useless at this time, but in my personal opinion, since you chose to take on the responsibility of a king, then you shouldn't regret anything that happens in the future. As a leader, you are already very outstanding. Without your leadership, Great Britain may indeed usher in another king, but your leadership is not a wrong choice. Let the future generations judge the history as they wish. You should look at the new life that is waiting for you. If in the end, you still maintain your original thoughts, then I have nothing to say."
Saber now knew that I was just joking when I took out this pile of discs. The real point was the last words I said. I admit that my persuasion skills are not as good as Liliana's, but I won in my sincerity!
Artoria, for the sake of this sincerity, give up on traveling through time. I'm used to having a bunch of heartless subordinates. Suddenly, there's you and Red A, these scheming existences. It's very difficult for me!
"Pfft —"
Pfft?
I stared at the girl who suddenly laughed in front of me. Speaking of which … the Knight King laughed just now? Was the serious Ahoge King laughing just now?
"I have never seen such a leader." Artoria hid the smile on his face, but there was a bright radiance in his eyes. "You are the head of the Empire with unprecedented power, but you actually came to personally persuade two subordinates because of their psychological problems. I can't believe there is such a different kind of king in the world … But, your Empire is so powerful, and your subjects are so loyal. Maybe a real king should be like this? Was I wrong from the beginning? Chen, I recognize your strength and your integrity. Now, I also recognize your leadership. So, according to their habits, from now on, I will also call you boss. "
Looking at the Ahoge King in front of me using a completely serious tone to say such words that made me cry, my soul was burning in my heart!
If you want to learn the Way of the King, even if you want to discuss it with Sandora, don't learn it from me!
But at this moment, just as I was about to say something, the broadcast in the spaceship that was about to enter the Main Material Plane suddenly sounded.
"All personnel on board, attention, the Empire General is about to enter the Main Material Plane. This stop is at Dock No. 3. All personnel, please enter the shuttle channel. Repeat …"
"Let's go, we're here."
I stood up and said, "The Empire General is huge, and it's impossible to build a dock specifically for it. We still have to change to a shuttle."
Thinking about it, I was really a bit ridiculous.
It was really a rash move to call Saber and Archer for psychological counseling. If talking was useful, talking could save the world. But in the end, I still coincidentally increased Artoria's favorability towards me, which was unexpected.
Should I ridicule the Ahoge King's maverick worldview?
After changing to a shuttle and arriving at the spaceport set up in the space slit, we directly boarded the teleportation device to Avalon. After a long struggle, we were finally home.
The white light of the teleportation and the short period of dizziness disappeared in a flash, and the clear blue sky and fresh air of Avalon hit me in the face. I slightly squinted my eyes, enjoying the feeling of returning home that I hadn't felt for a long time. Then, from the corner of my eye, I faintly saw that it was not just the fresh air that hit me.
A petite figure with the sound of breaking air enlarged from a black dot to a young girl in less than two seconds, and then there was an earth-shattering bang.
"Ah — — Jun." Shallow Shallow's familiar, energetic voice sounded in my arms, accompanied by the sound of my ribs creaking. The Einherjars following behind us did not even have time to admire the dreamy scenery of Avalon before they were collectively shocked by the girl who rushed over at supersonic speed. Then, everyone's eyes focused on the ground in front of their new boss.
Two skid marks that extended for a full three meters were clearly visible.
Feeling the girl's undisguised affection and longing for me, I couldn't help but hug my arms tightly. Shallow Shallow lifted her head from my arms. On her beautiful face, a pair of bright eyes reflected my own face. She stared at me for a while, then the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a pair of cute canine teeth.
She opened her mouth, aimed, and kacha.
"Wahhhh — —"
This was a piercing cry. This girl, this girl was biting me with all her might!!
This lasted for a full minute. Shallow Shallow bit my exposed arm for a full minute before letting go. She looked down at the red marks that she had made, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue to lick it gently. At that moment, a cold and numb feeling spread throughout my body. Looking at the girl who was licking my arm like a little animal, I couldn't help but raise my hand and press on her head.
"This is your punishment!" Shallow Shallow lifted her head and stared at me with her bright eyes without blinking. Then, she lowered her head and took another bite. "Your punishment for eating me secretly!"
I was stunned on the spot. Then, a complicated expression of awkwardness and apology appeared on my face.
This girl, she really knew about it.
Maybe it was because I could feel the traces of her emotions from our usual mental connection, or maybe it was because Lin Xue, that girl who loved to see the world in chaos, was snitching on me (this was theoretically unlikely), or maybe it was just a girl's intuition at work. As expected, Shallow Shallow knew about Sandora sneaking out to eat me secretly.
Even if he was usually a thick-skinned guy, even if he was usually so careless that it made people speechless, Qian Qian was still a girl. She would always have a careful and soft side. Under such circumstances, who could remain indifferent?
Towards this, I could only smile bitterly. I wanted to open my mouth, but she cut me off with a light kiss.
"You're not allowed to apologize, or else I'll continue to bite you!" Shallow Shallow said in a rarely seen tone. She pinched my waist forcefully. "It's okay … I already thought about it. I even talked about this topic with Sandora … However, there must still be a punishment! That's why I bit you just now! "
I smiled bitterly, but I was more touched than anything else. Just as I was about to hug the girl in my arms tightly, I heard whispers behind me that were getting more serious.
"Then, shouldn't we make arrangements for these new soldiers first?" I said with a tone of negotiation. Shallow Shallow gave me a sideways glance before reluctantly leaving my arms. Then, she faced the large group of unfamiliar faces in front of her.
Saber, who was always serious, and Red A, who wasn't infected yet, as well as Lancer, immediately showed serious expressions. However, Sasaki and Medusa, who had gradually learned from bad habits, couldn't help but cause trouble. All of them gave a military salute from who knows which era and said in unison, "Greetings, Lady Boss!"
Forget it, let them cause trouble. For these heroic spirits, such a relaxing time might be really precious to the point that they would give up their usual restraint.
