To be king and magician

"Hold hands, go hold hands, Lidelle, why are you as shy as a teenage high school student at the age of 28?"

Seeing Mei Li with a look of hatred for iron and steel, Gray couldn't help persuading: "That... Sister Mei Li, you will attract other people's attention by doing this, so restrain yourself."

"It's okay, it's okay, I used illusion to completely cover the two of us, in the eyes of outsiders, we are just leaning against the electric pole normally."

Mei Li waved her hands indifferently, her gaze was still fixed on Xia Chuanhu and Lidal walking among the crowd.

Invite Xia Chuanhu to a date.

Although she finally dragged Xia Chuanhu out of the room under the pretext of "Take Lidale out to see the surrounding situation", but looking at the two people who kept a certain distance in front, Mei Li wished she could take Lidai away. Er squeezed away and showed her what a real "date" is.

At the same time, Xia Chuanhu and Lidel were here.

(I don't know what to say at all, it's a bit embarrassing...)

At this moment, Xia Chuanhu's mind is full of Lidel's sleeping posture that he accidentally bumped into just now.Although rationally he wanted to forget it, but his mind honestly saved that scene for him and played it in a loop.

This caused Xia Chuanhu to frantically glance at her from the corner of his sight even if he wasn't looking at Lidal.

"Have you seen enough?"

Suddenly, Lidale leaned slightly towards Xia Chuanhu, and asked softly in his ear.

Was discovered.

"Uh... that... I..."

"If you haven't seen enough, is this distance enough? Should you be able to see more clearly?" Lidel chuckled, "Since just now, I have been looking at me out of the corner of my eye. This is not like you. How many times have I been shopping together like this, and now I'm fascinated by me? Are you a little dull?"

"That's not true. It's just my personal reasons. I had some unsuitable dreams last night."

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but relax when Lidale teased her like this, and made a small joke.

"However, I was quite surprised. You actually asked me to take you out to see the surroundings. I thought you were already familiar with this place in the past few years."

Because every time she came back, she would go shopping with Xia Chuanhu, so Lidale often came to the area near the apartment.

Standing at the entrance of a store and stopping for a while, Lidal bent down to look at the necklace displayed as an exhibit.

"Familiarity is not enough, I just remember how to get to your place. But I will live there for a long time, and knowing how to get there is not enough-what do you think I will wear this necklace?" Sample?"

Looking at the necklace decorated with pink hearts, Xia Chuanhu said bluntly: "With all due respect, you are almost thirty, so stop pretending to be a little girl."

"I'm sorry, although it's true that I'm going to become an old lady, but I still feel like I'm a young girl."

"If you only look at appearance and personality."

Because of the proper maintenance and the fact that she is also quite good at making potions, Lidell still looks like a girl in her early 20s. Even if she puts on her school uniform and goes to school, no one will suspect her.

"By the way, I think you are simply asking me to go shopping with you in the name of being familiar with the surroundings?"

"Did you realize it now?"

"Didn't you just go shopping in Karnak yesterday? Why do you women like shopping so much?"

No matter which world it is, Xia Chuanhu always feels that women have an inexplicable obsession with shopping, and even those delicate women who can't do two laps at ordinary times, once they start shopping, their physical strength will be exhausted.

Highlight one outrageous.

After being silent for a while, Lidale came to Xia Chuanhu, turned her face to the side with a smile from the classic new house angle, and said, "Well, it's not so much that I like shopping, it's better to say that I like the atmosphere of doing certain things with people. And A good friend, or with a man you like. If I go shopping alone, even I will soon feel bored.”

"So why don't you go find your best friend? Isn't Lilin idle? At least you don't have many friends in the clock tower?"

(Is this guy really stupid or just pretending?)

Exclusion!Use the method of elimination to know why I brought you here!Why do you still ask such a question!Where's your normally shrewd, dying brain?At this time, it's a bit more powerful!

Seeing Xia Chuanhu's face full of reluctance, Lidal felt tired for a while.

"Mei Li said that she was going to clean up. As for those people in the clock tower... It's more like intrigue than shopping with them. I try not to bring political matters into my normal life. "

After telling a half-truth and half-false lie, Lidale looked at Xia Chuanhu: "Speaking of which, is there any place you want to go?"

"No. Besides, you didn't want to come out?"

"That's what I said, but I also want to know where you usually go. Think about it carefully. Although we have known each other for a long time, I don't know much about you yet. I am a little curious."

From where a person often goes, one can roughly guess what a person's preferences are. In addition to the usual battles that must be killed, gift battles at specific times are also necessary-this is Meili's trick!

Xia Chuanhu thought about the places he usually went to: "For me, it's basically the apartment-the supermarket-the clock tower, wandering back and forth, going to the barber shop when my hair grows, and occasionally going to bookstores and amusement halls. "

"You really have no hobbies..."

"After all, there are a lot of things to do every day, plus the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony, how can I have time—ah, yes, speaking of it, I haven't been there for a while. Lidel, do you have anything to do next?"

"It's okay. Why, do you have a place you want to go?"

"Well, it's a little far away. If I go now, I'll probably come back at night. Also, I have to do some shopping before I go."

Want to buy something?

Visiting friends?

With doubts, Lidal smiled and said: "It's okay, we two can accompany each other today. You can accompany me wherever I want to go, and I can accompany you wherever you want to go."

"Why do you sound so weird?"

"Have it?"

6. Revisit old places

Glastonbury.

The sleeping place of a certain king.

After preparing lunch and buying some things, it was already noon when Xia Chuanhu and Lidel arrived here.

"Glastonbury...is this where you want to be?"

Looking at the lawn with many tourists and pedestrians in front of her, Lidale looked at Xia Chuanhu with some doubts.

What are you doing here?

Without paying attention to Lidale, Xia Chuanhu just bought a bouquet of flowers from a vendor on the side of the road with ease, and then came all the way to the interior of some dilapidated buildings.

No.

To be precise, he came to a simple tombstone.

【HicjacetArthurusRexquondamRexquefuturus (Eternal King Arthur is buried here)】

"King Arthur's tomb?"

Looking at this epitaph, Lidal turned her attention back to Xia Chuanhu.

"You want to visit King Arthur's grave?"

"Based on the result, I'm just here to see my friends." Xia Chuanhu chuckled, then bent down and put the flowers in front of the grave, "Long time no see, Arthur, there's been a lot of things lately, half a year ago I've been in Japan all this time, sorry, I haven't been here—even if I say that, you can't hear me, right?"

Talk to yourself?Talk to the air?

Lidal frowned, but didn't make a sound, her intuition told her that it's best not to bother Xia Chuanhu now.

Xia Chuanhu's soliloquy didn't last long. After talking about himself and some things that happened on weekdays, he brought Lidale to a big tree not far away and sat down.

Holding a sandwich, Lidal sat on the picnic cloth and looked at the peaceful surroundings.

Today's weather is very good, it is sunny, although the temperature is a bit cold, but it is not cold at noon, sitting under the tree like this, feeling the wind blowing on the face, is surprisingly comfortable.

"It's a really nice place."

"Right? If possible, when I become an old man at the age of 80 or [-], I want to settle here."

"You're only 21 years old and you've started to think about what will happen after so long? Think a little more positively." Lidal laughed and said, "So——what were you doing just now? Could it be that you are channeling? Summoning The spirit of the dead King Arthur talking to him?"

"No, no, that's not the case. It's just me talking to myself. If I insist on saying it, it's my unilateral confession."

Xia Chuanhu took a sip of water while talking.

"Didn't I mention to you before that I participated in the Holy Grail War? Before I came to the clock tower."

"correct."

That was two years ago. On the plane returning to London from Paris, due to uncontrollable reasons, Xia Chuanhu explained part of the events during the Holy Grail War.

"I remember you summoned Saber."

"That's actually King Arthur." Xia Chuanhu said with a smile, "I summoned King Arthur, participated in the battle with him as his master, and survived in the end. It can be said that the reason why I became a magician is rooted in Meet him. He changed my life."

"The relationship between me and him, I personally think is a trustworthy comrade in arms and the most important friend, so after coming to the UK, I will occasionally meet him like today and talk about what I have experienced. Well, it is a memory It's over."

Seeing Xia Chuanhu with an unprecedented relaxed smile on his face, Lidel was silent for a while, then arched her legs and leaned on Xia Chuanhu's shoulder.

Without waiting for Xia Chuanhu to say anything, Lidale spoke first: "So, are you still sticking to the past when you were with him?"

"How could it be?" Xia Chuanhu shook his head, "The Holy Grail War is indeed a very important experience in my life, but even if the Holy Grail War is over, life will continue. Time is not tolerant enough to allow me to stay in the past .”

"I was saved by him many times. So I decided that in my later life, within the reach of these hands, I will use this saved life to help others as much as possible."

"That is to say...【Partner of Justice】?"

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help laughing at Lidelle's metaphor: "Hahaha, that's not true, I don't have such grand ambitions, all I can do is to respond to people who ask me for help, or to see injustice It’s just drawing a sword to help. After all, my hands are only this long.”

Lie down on his back, Xia Chuanhu stretched out his hand to the sky.

(Such a choice will definitely not disappoint the life you gave me, right? Arthur.)

Just when Xia Chuanhu was thinking this way, Lidel suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Chuanhu's hand.

"Lydel?"

"Your words are sure to be all right."

Looking at Xia Chuanhu with tender eyes, Lidal smiled lightly and said, "I don't know why, but I just wanted to say that all of a sudden."

"Ha, what is this?"

"It's weird to me, too."

After laughing a few times, Lidal stood up and patted the skirt: "Then do you want to go back? Counting the time of the return trip, we should be able to have dinner when we go back."

"Okay."

He also stood up and put away the picnic cloth and the sandwich box. Xia Chuanhu was just about to walk down the path with Lidelle when a figure walking towards him in his vision made him suddenly stunned. .

It was a female.
