Can Arknights dream about the Knights of the Round Table?

“It’s just like Casimir’s knight in the novel~~”

"So you like this, forget it. It's not a problem."

Ozwald curled his lips to catch a little bit of the other person's interest from his habits.

"In short, if you have extra spare money, try to hire someone with a clean resume as a guard; but it is best to be of the same sex - after all, a clean resume in the past cannot avoid sudden desires in the future. And you are in this regard Your 'wealth' is very outstanding, so I think you should give it more consideration...especially considering your identity and current situation, Miss Droste. Well, my statement sounds a bit rude."

"You seem to have discovered it? Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but it's just a bit hard to tell..." As her voice weakened, the girl lowered her head, hiding her face in the shadows.

Because this is the reason why she has been unable to find the team and has been unable to set off.

No team would be willing to accept a guy with no wild survival skills, not to mention that this burden is an exiled illegitimate daughter... The small amount of money alone is not enough to offend the noble grandfather who issued this order.

Viviana also knew this very well.Therefore, she would not force the red dragon, who seemed to be aware of her identity, to take her with him at the risk of offending her father.

But just when her eyes were filled with sadness and she was about to stand up and leave, the red dragon in front of the table took the lead and shook his head.

"No, on the contrary, I found nothing and know nothing."

“The only person I see today is a woman named Viviana Drost who asked me for help on her first trip, and because she was beautiful, I talked to her. That’s it… ...Otherwise, what other reason can there be? Isn’t this the only thing between a man and a beautiful woman he meets by chance, in order to increase his affection and then volunteer for a romantic relationship?”

The reason why the red dragon was aware of it was actually not complicated; or it could be said that Viviana had never thought of hiding the relationship.

First of all, she pays special attention to etiquette when meeting, which shows that her background is not bad, and considering the social situation of Letania, she is presumed to be a young lady from a noble family... Starting from here, the eldest lady who is going to travel far away has no escort. This is not Like the situation that a normal noble should have, it means that she does not account for a high proportion of the family's resource allocation, otherwise no matter what the reason is, there must be two (to facilitate shift change); coupled with the anxiety that is visible to the naked eye at the beginning, and her I said it myself [I have been looking for a team] [I don’t have much time] - the first option is to rule out being chased. After all, in that case, you have to forcefully set off even if you don’t have a team. In this aspect, you have to hide from the Aslan Court Assassin. The Red Dragon of Maomao has been the most experienced for several years.Although Viviana didn't have much time, it didn't seem like her life was in danger, at least it wasn't a direct threat.

Therefore, it can be roughly inferred that she is a noble child who had a conflict with her family and had to leave within a certain period of time - but the inference only goes so far.Not even when the answer is obvious.

As for why she had to leave, there was still a limited time, and what happened to her as a noble person... these were all private matters that Ozwald could only know when she herself told them.Even if you already have a general feeling in your heart.

Because guessing the identity of the other party is to ensure that people's taboos are not touched casually, rather than a sharp knife used to dig into privacy and add insult to injury.

So if she doesn't say it, then he doesn't know.

"Besides, a knight shouldn't just sit back and watch a girl's pretty face like a flower fade due to sorrow... Isn't it true that it is said in the story you are passionate about?" He raised his tea cup and paid a distant salute to Viviana in front of him, the red dragon So ask.

"But Mr. Elbatarian, you are not actually a knight, right? So this kind of argument won't work~~"

Winking at the red dragon, Viviana said with a playful smile:

“Don’t trust the words of someone you meet for the first time. This is what a kind gentleman just taught me~~”

"Then let me tell you the truth, Ms. Droste...I am a little short of money right now, but I am in a hurry and can't raise it. You can fill the gap just in time."

Even though she is a newcomer with no experience, who hasn't come from such ignorance?

"Besides, if you don't get angry and can even benefit; I really don't see any reason why you can do it but don't do it when you see people in need of help... Or maybe Miss Drost, can you do something for me? Shall I find one?"

"Don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil deeds because they are small." This is what a certain sage once said.

"...This is really a surprising but sincere answer."

"I'm sorry... Although you are not as radiant as described in the story, sir, you are indeed a true knight."

"……laugh."

In response, the red dragon just turned his face slightly and let out a disapproving laugh.

"...Now, the wrinkles between the eyebrows can be considered slightly smoothed, right?"

ps: Ark’s description of the Candle Knight [can’t be described in words] is so weird... really weird...

Because I usually only use [indescribable] and [unspeakable] in terms of appearance when I see old rulers like Mr. Ke...or when I describe the oppression of the opponent and the power of his moves that are too powerful.

Could it be...I mean, is there a possibility that she actually--

The Black Knight Wants to Obtain Arima Memorial 1: 3 Farewell to my hometown, today I will set off

"Well, to sum up the above. Viviana is going to Casimir with us in a team of three."

Located at the main road that is necessary for entering and exiting the mobile city, Ozwald introduced the new Geta Unit [-] pilot next to him to his Unit [-] pilot.

At the suggestion of the red dragon, Viviana now took off the armor that was too gorgeous in the wild, and put on leather boots and tight-fitting leather clothes that were practical for long-distance outdoor travel; A thick feather-shaped cloak covering the whole body that can protect the body from wind and rain - although it is still too early for October, which is starting to get cooler, but considering that it will be a long time to go.When the temperature drops, it will be too late to purchase them in the wild.

As for the replaced armor, Viviana, who loves knight stories, did not choose to give it up, but sealed it separately and prepared to take it to Casimir.

Ozward didn't say anything to this and let her go.After all, Terra Superman's physical fitness doesn't care about the extra ten kilograms.

(Mainly because whoever has the stuff is the one who carries it)

"Hello, Miss Black Knight. My name is Viviana Drost. Because I don't have much travel experience before, so if I make any mistakes in the following days, please be patient and give me some guidance."

"Hello."

Although the Black Knights were a little surprised that there were so many new people after just one trip, but thinking about it carefully, they had plans to add more people or join others; so it wasn't bad.

Except for [Drake named Ozwald is her only master], she has never cared about anything else.Just go with what Oswald decided.

Moreover, due to the addition of this new companion, the problems that were originally limited by funds have been resolved, which is also an indisputable benefit.

——The weight of the bulging backpack on his back made Caprini, who had been tortured by hunger and naturally had a strong sense of crisis when supplies were scarce, feel a lot more at ease.

What is worth mentioning is that, on the contrary, Oswald actually has some regrets that can be called 'greedy'.

After all, in Red Dragon's mind, Viviana, who has relatively ample funds, should be able to rent a small land cruiser that can be used by several people.With that thing, both the safety and efficiency of the trip will be greatly improved.

But the reality is that it cannot be rented.

Because Viviana Droste is just an unrecognized illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, and she was also exiled.

Based on credit and workplace considerations, the bridge officer in charge of the matter declined Red Dragon's lease application.

"After all, I'm not someone like you, sir, who can inherit your surname. I can't do many things... I'm really sorry for you, I'm sorry."

As the three of them passed the checkpoint and walked out of the city, Viviana apologized slightly helplessly.

Judging only from the rental-related matters, she still envied Ozwald.In fact, even if the extremely obvious status of a high-ranking noble is put aside, the direct reason why Red Dragon was unable to rent a land-speeder during this trip was because it was hindered by her - and then it became even more temperamental and refused to let go of Viviana. He alone takes the money.

"This is obviously the money you provided, and it should be the sovereignty you enjoy, but in the end, I, the kid who was taken along, became the master? What are you talking about! There is no such truth in the world!"

To be fair, Viviana was very grateful to the red dragon who was aggrieved and unwilling to compromise for her experience; but the result of losing the leased ship was also an indisputable fact.Therefore, it is inevitable that there is some sense of self-pity when speaking.

However, the red dragon was very dissatisfied with this.

"No, anyway, you can only enjoy the good food and clothing in the first few years. Do you have to go out to dig through garbage and hide in smelly ditches? You are worried every day, and even now you can't afford to rent a boat - - They are all the same, and none of us who need food and water are nobler than the other!"

"It sounds like the princess in the story who encountered an accident and was exiled in a foreign land... Ah, Mr. Elbatarian, a prince would be more appropriate for you?"

Correcting the shortcomings in her words, Viviana looked at the red dragon who was walking at the front of the team with a bag on his back without any response, her eyes sparkling:

"But, isn't this a little unfair? You have obviously noticed it, but I know nothing about you except for an equally false title... This is really difficult to repay you for your help to me."

"Ah? It doesn't matter. It's just a small thing. After all, if you really care about it, it's still my problem, complicating what could have been accomplished."

"Even if I am willing to tell my past first, can't I just exchange for your real name?"

"Yes, I have no plans to tell others about it yet."

"What if I keep this secret for a hundred years just to swear to you?"

"Then it doesn't matter."

Upon hearing this, the red dragon turned his head and smiled twice at Viviana:

"Rather, in that situation, I would be happy and honored to have such a loyal knight like you as my friend."

But the premise is that this can really be done.

Unlike the Black Knight, who met at a young age, he had no name, was abandoned as a defective product that was despised by the Leitanians, struggled on the edge of death and only asked for a meal, and in the end, he gave him everything he could have as a human being. , and therefore returned loyalty to the Red Dragon, and this loyalty was also deeply trusted by Caprini after being tested by the Witch King's remnant party incident;

It is true that Viviana Drost is indeed in trouble. It is not false to say that she is very grateful for her willingness to lend a helping hand at this moment and wants to repay one or two red dragons. But you must believe this person based on this alone. The traveling companion who had met for less than a day and still fell into the category of [stranger]—well, Ozwald would not do anything to completely deny other people's beliefs, but he would not be too naive to place his life or death on the other person.

It can only be said that you should not have the intention to harm others, and you should not have the intention to guard against others.

Maybe one day, as they get to know each other longer and decide that this is a friend worthy of being entrusted to his descendants, the red dragon will speak, but at least not now.

"Well, if you really have strong needs Viviana in the future, I can give you a legitimate noble status."

In order to prevent further entanglement on the issue of real name and origin, Red Dragon Turn Offensive discussed Viviana's own experience:

"This way you can justifiably go back and give your father a slap in the face; tell him to look at 30 years in Hexi and 30 years in Hedong, ah... everyone will be nobles by then, and whoever wants to take advantage of this will be fine. If you are really dissatisfied, it will be ignored. As soon as the gloves are thrown away, we will see the real chapter off the court! Oh, I was not born as a Kshatriya, and turning around depends on the weapon in my palm..."

"...You are saying something again that Miss Black Knight and I cannot understand; and you were obviously so polite in the cafe, but the words you are using now...are you a little, um, frivolous?"

"I'm just giving you some vaccinations for Viviana."

"[Men and women are not intimate] [Etiquette] [Appearance] [Elegant wording]... These decencies related to etiquette are the most useless things in the wild, especially given the gender composition of our three-person team— —No matter how much I take care of you, I can't always take care of your privacy.

For example, when you are attacked in the wild and you are seriously injured, should I immediately tear open your clothes to expose the wound and deal with it for the sake of your life?Or should you wait until you have dealt with the enemy and avoided it before asking the black knight of the same sex to bandage you and stop the bleeding?It's almost a similar situation, just think about it yourself. "

"This is really a distressing fact... I will try my best to adapt to it, Mr. Eltrian."

Viviana pursed her lips tightly and spoke in a soft voice as soft as a mosquito.

The thought of having her clothes ripped open by the opposite sex in that situation and seeing the injured areas and more of the body... This kind of view was a bit too exciting for her who had only learned about the world through poetry collections and novels in the tower. The temperature of her cheeks soared rapidly, and her face turned red as if it was about to bleed.I swore to God in my heart that I would avoid such a situation from happening——

However, everything is just like the red dragon said. Even if the probability of such a thing happening is very small, everyone will try to avoid it as much as possible in the battle, but there is still a "just in case", and the necessary mental preparation for this is still necessary. Well done.

You can't really risk your life just for a little shame or so-called etiquette?If you really care about appearance more than your life, then you don’t need to bother going to Casimir; you can just go to a drugstore and buy a few pairs of them to fall asleep quickly and prevent people from struggling to death due to pain. It's an ugly medicine. After you finish taking the medicine, add some spices just right to ensure the smell... so that when the heat is on, the whole house can smell it. It's fragrant and beautiful. It's really extremely respectable.

"Well...or...if it doesn't work, please Mr. Albatarian knock me out when the time comes. In this case...ugh..."

"--Can."

The great Red Dragon King made such a reply.

Although it is a deceptive approach... it is also suitable for situations where you cannot accept it at first.Anyway, when you do it more times later and you can no longer deceive yourself, you will no longer care about the broken jar.

"So, what do you want to say? At the very end."

During this exchange of glances and words, the three of them finally left the city along the main road and descended to the desolate land of Terra.

And looking at the steel behemoth in front of him that he could see the whole thing because he was no longer in it, the red dragon asked the girl beside him.

"Yes."

Nodding, Viviana walked out of the team.Facing the city that raised and imprisoned her, she took a deep breath;

"Goodbye, Letania. I am very grateful for your kindness in raising me, but I don't know if there will be a chance to return it after I leave. So I can only say at this moment, goodbye, hometown...

Today, I will set off with friends who can tolerate me to find the dream that I have always woven from picture books——"

With confusion about the future and farewell to the past;

The marigold-shaped girl left a candlelight in this hometown.

ps: Suppose the Black Knight is Kai, a good brother who is loyal and has known each other for a long time; then... is the Candle Knight Merlin or what?

And who should be the other round tables and Guinevere? Think about it.

Or it's not that we can't canonize the Candle Knight as Guinevere, and Lin Guang as Lancelot. (Oz: Stealing your light, right? Great, tell me more, kids will love watching this.)????

The Black Knight Wants to Get the Arima Memorial 1: 4 There will be no shortage of stories in the girl knight’s journey

People always say that travel is full of surprises.

For Viviana, who embarked on the journey for the first time, although she was indeed excited and happy about the scenery in the wild that she had never seen before because she had been locked in a tower before, it was far from the same. Stimulate.

After all, the existence of the mobile city must be taken into account. It is difficult to have any great danger within a considerable radius of it.

So in general, this first day was about maintaining the speed and moving forward step by step, and found a camping place as the sky gradually darkened; and then while the Black Knight was looking for prey that could be used as dinner, he went to Ozwald Under his guidance, the tent was set up and a bonfire was lit.

In the past ten hours, if there was anything that could be considered a challenge... it would probably be facing the finished beast meat that was still roasted with blood streaks and sprinkled with a little salt for seasoning. Viviana, the previously delicate and delicate daughter of an aristocrat, would inevitably find it a little hard to swallow when trying such rough food, and she needed to toughen her scalp to overcome it.

Further on, after finishing their meal, they dragged their big swords to a distance and started practicing their sword skills, and the red dragon who sat in front of the campfire and used a carving knife to write something on some randomly picked stones for some reason—— She was the only one with nothing to do.

In order to pass the time when she was excited but actually had nothing to do before falling asleep, Viviana naturally took out a book from her bag and started reading by the flickering light of the campfire.

"——Oh? What a surprise. I didn't expect you to bring a book... Well, if I had to choose, it would be the same as Viviana."

"Because I don't know what else to do, Mr. Albatrine." The girl responded with a smile.

Novels and poetry collections, this was the only thing she could do in the past 20 years as an illegitimate daughter of a nobleman imprisoned in a tower like a canary.

Before embarking on a journey with the red dragon, this world woven together by paper and ink was her only world.

"By the way, this novel is one of my favorite works. Mr. Albatlian, would you like to read it?"
