My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 657 You, the traitor——

Just like that, the miraculous magician, the strongest Servant in the Holy Grail War, was dragged out of the conference room by the weak girl.

At first, Bai Ye was still holding Shuoyue's arm, but when the curious looks from the students (NPCs) in the corridor reached a limit, she blushed and let go of her hand, and walked ahead.

She would not look back, she believed that the young man would not leave her side.

Whether as a master, a student, a friend, a winner and a king... or any other identity, no matter what, Kishinami Hakuno has such confidence.

This inexplicable trust even surpassed the bond between her and Saber.

And Shuoyue, just as Bai Ye had expected, followed her slowly. Although he didn't understand why the girl brought him out out of character, and even inevitably thought of some wrong things, when he saw Bai Ye walking forward with his hands behind his back, humming softly, his steps became lighter.

The young man recalled something that happened during the war.

For Hakuno Kishinami, the first battle of the Moon Holy Grail War must have been an impressive one, not only because she was forced to take up arms and go to the battlefield in order to survive due to her amnesia, but also because the girl, who was as innocent as a handful of clear water, was chosen by the bartender without any hesitation.

At the moment when she has the least control over herself, the bartender capriciously adds the ingredients of knowledge, mixing and blending rum, whiskey, juice, coffee and candy, and then puts it aside, waiting with anticipation for the sweetness of the cocktail to be shaken out by time.

Even though the bartender's actions were crude and simple, and he vowed to let the girl master more than ten years of knowledge in just a few days, the girl never complained. In the high-intensity battles and studies, she hummed the songs that Shuoyue had sung before, just like a beautiful young girl in school, rushing to the Moon Sea to fight, or returning to her room to study.

Then, at a speed that surprised both Rin and Leo, he quickly grew into a master who could stand on his own.

Before the future storm comes, this is a quiet time that belongs exclusively to the new moon and the white fields. The moonlight and the corridors at that time still exude crystal clear colors when recalled today.

He had been nervous, worried that his education and his abnormality would distort the student's usual integrity. But when he saw the girl growing up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even using brilliant strategies and calculations to trap himself, a follower, to death in the Threshold of the Blazing Sky, the shock of defeat and the pride in his student for being better than him, still make the young man recall and revel in it until now.

It was like a cyborg girl in a distant alien world who had traveled around the world with the pink-haired paladin.

"Hey, teacher, teacher."

Shuoyue came back to his senses and looked at the girl who suddenly turned around and pouted to act cute with a questioning look. Bai Ye seemed to be doing this for the first time as well, and her pretty face blushed slightly: "Come to think of it, you haven't told me about your past experiences."

"Really?" Shuoyue was startled. "Yes, after all, after teaching you the necessary knowledge, I ran to rescue Draco, and there was no chance for me to chat."

Tsk, it’s that little red dragon again. Teacher, you’re a lolita control. Why did you mention her when it’s time for the two of you to be alone together…

Bai Ye felt a little resentful, and her expression became a little bad. Before Shuoyue noticed, she coughed lightly, lowered her head slightly, and adjusted her expression. When she looked up again, she smiled brightly:

"Now that I think about it, Shuoyue knows so much about my past, but I know nothing about you. Isn't that a little unfair?"

Shuoyue was caught off guard and was struck by Bai Ye's beauty. He slightly widened his eyes and looked at his beautiful girl, and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

I've known it for a long time. Although Bai Ye has a low presence in daily life, she is one of the most beautiful women.

But why am I still mesmerized by her charm even after getting to know her for so long?
"...Ahem, since you asked sincerely." After a moment, Shuoyue struggled out of the Supreme Master's charm, put his fist to his mouth, and coughed lightly, "Then I will make an exception and allow you to know the legendary past of this magician."

"Yeah." Bai Ye smiled and took a few steps back, walking shoulder to shoulder with Shuoyue, listening to him talk about his experience.

At first, Hakuno thought that Sakutsuki's description of her past was deliberately exaggerated because of shyness, but soon, she realized that this was by no means self-praise - at a weak moment, she escaped from the hands of an enemy comparable to the top servants; she experienced the four battles of Fuyuki, which were far more cruel and treacherous than the Moon Holy Grail War, and finally won a victory that surpassed the Awakened Ones...

The wonderful world of magical girls, the pioneering adventure on the summer island, and yet another unique Holy Grail War in a different time and space...

Inevitably, Shuoyue mentioned his eldest disciple Sieg, a girl who was born into a family of artificial humans with no future, but who, inspired by heroes and saints, eventually rebelled against her mentor for the future of her compatriots with an equally majestic figure... "Wow, it sounds like the ending of being your student is to rebel against you in a magnificent way."

"What a waste. After all, we met during the Holy Grail War. It's strange enough that we became companions... Although there have been bloody plots in the past where they became lovers and even siblings reunited."

Facing Bai Ye's teasing, Shuo Yue showed a smug look this time, "Besides, what can better test a student's growth potential than fighting? Leading a camp to attack my Sieg, and joining hands with Nero to defeat me... nothing can satisfy me as a teacher more than these things."

"Then..." Finally, Hakuno asked the question, "Which one do you like more, me or Sieg?"

Before they knew it, they had arrived at the Awakening Hall, which was now transformed into a school church. It was the place where Bai Ye and Shuo Yue met. Facing Bai Ye's multiple-choice question, Shuo Yue smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "You can't compare them. You and Sieg are two completely different flowers, blooming equally beautifully in my eyes."

"Ah, so cunning, Sakutsuki-san."

"That's right, otherwise how can I be your teacher, Hakuno-san?"

As the conversations continued, the atmosphere gradually became more ambiguous. Both Baiye and Shuoyue could not forget that it was here, in this sacred, ethereal and quiet place of awakening, that the young man had kissed the girl's lips like a lover.

Although it was an accident... Shuoyue thought, his eyes fell on the girl's delicate lips again, and he couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth.

But if she asked me now, would I still be able to confidently repeat this fact?

In the subtle atmosphere, Bai Ye raised his eyes and looked at Shuoyue. His brown eyes were filled with a different color: "Shuoyue, I..."

"Wait, I suddenly remembered--"

"No." Bai Ye wrung his hands and interrupted Shuoyue, "At least, let me finish this. Teacher, no, Shuoyue!"

In a place unknown to anyone, the girl closed her eyes and loudly expressed her wish:
"There is something I want to give you. It originally belonged to you. I have kept it for you until now. I think it is time to give it to you!"

If there was coffee in his mouth, Shuoyue would have sprayed it out completely at this moment. He looked at Baiye in shock, his pupils trembling violently, and cold sweat dripping down.

Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?! The thing he said with that tone and expression... must be that, right?!

"Um... can I ask... what is that thing?" Under the extreme emotional shock, this was the only sentence Shuoyue could say with a trembling voice.

When Bai Ye heard this, a hint of shyness flashed across his eyes, and then he reached out and touched his collar.

"Oh my God...female donor, you can't do this!" The bad premonition became reality. Shuoyue immediately stretched out her hand to stop him, but her hand was held by Bai Ye. Then, silver liquid like moonlight flowed out and condensed into a silver, exquisite ring in the girl's hand.

Yes, a ring.

"Huh..." Shuoyue let out a long sigh, as if he had been pardoned. He felt completely exhausted. While Shuoyue forgot to resist, the girl put the ring on her teacher's left ring finger without hesitation.

"Wait, wait!" After reacting, Shuoyue sat up in shock from his dying illness, "Although it's not what I thought, but Baiye, it's obviously not a good thing for you to do this. Do you want me, your teacher, to have a happy ending with a hatchet? STOP——"

But it was too late. Since Bai Ye had chosen to take action, there was no reason for him to stop. With a clear click, the young man's angry voice resounded throughout the entire land of awakening.

"You, traitor—"
