Artoria the Big Liar

I sighed, the dark magic power condensed in my hand, and the pitch-black holy sword appeared in my hand, shaking it gently at Merlin.

This proves to be quite effective. Merlin opened his eyes wide, quickly covered his mouth, and almost screamed. He didn't know whether he screamed at the strange environment or my current clothing style—according to Merlin's personality , I think it is most likely the latter.

Taking a few deep breaths, trying not to disturb the witch on the other side of me, Merlin pointed to himself and then to the bedroom door.This means I want to ask me if I need to go out now to avoid misunderstandings.

I looked at her body, she was not covered by clothes at all, even if she went out, it would only lead to greater misunderstandings.

So, I shook my head—I'm not the kind of coward who can't admit it after doing it.

I betrayed myself, and Merlin graciously accepted it.There is no tweaking, both sides are very straightforward.

After about 5 minutes, the witch opened her eyes.As usual, she let out a series of strange low moans, a bit like she was not sleeping well, and a bit like she didn't want to wake up from the rest-it was so cute that I felt the urge to pinch her face.

She wanted to say hello, but when she saw my face and the pajamas on me, her eyes became dazed.

——This woman, she was the one who put on my pajamas, and immediately forgot about them after I slept.

Fortunately, the holy sword did not dissipate. I shook the holy sword at her, and she finally understood what happened.

"...That, that. Good morning, Arthur!"

She smiled with joy, every day.

"It's already afternoon." I reminded her. "I didn't eat breakfast before going to bed, do you feel hungry?"

"Alright... well..."

The witch's face was as red as a ripe apple.

It should be related to the dream I just had, right?

I don't know what kind of dream she had—probably a dream that a girl would have?

I was very tired in the morning, so I didn't do anything with her to relieve stress.

Unexpectedly, it was only a day's vacancy, and this little cat who couldn't get enough to eat was thinking about the food in the pot.

At this time, I looked to the other side.Sure enough, the woman Merlin was playing dead.

Just pretending to be dead, that's all, still hugging that Samoyed doll, looking intoxicated.

So I patted her on the buttocks lightly, indicating that it was time for her to face reality.

"Merlin, it's time to get up. Remember to get dressed after you go out. If you don't have one, you can wear Rangna's temporarily."

Merlin didn't say a word, hugged the Samoyed doll disheveledly, covered his body, and left the bedroom quickly.

The witch got up, blinked her eyes, and didn't understand what happened at all.

If it were me, I wouldn't understand either - after all, after waking up, there is another woman beside my lover...

Cough... Thinking of this, I adjusted my posture and sat upright in front of the witch.

Then, bury the body deeply.

This is the highest standard apology in Japan, called "Dogeza".

"I'm really sorry! Jeanna, I... I cheated on you."

"... cheating?"

"Melin and Merlin met in a dream. Because of my own fault, I couldn't control myself and cheated."

Since I was sitting under the soil, I couldn't see the witch's expression.

But I don't think this should be a serious matter.

Also, if she reacts really aggressively, I have room to explain it.

Unexpectedly, the witch didn't speak, but hugged me - she hugged me so tightly that her body was trembling.

With the increase in strength after devouring the soul, this kind of tightness is no longer the kind of tightness that goes all out, but maintains restraint.

"...Arthur, I know all about it." Her voice was also trembling, with a hint of crying.

"Uh...you know?" For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"You and I have concluded a contract between a servant and a master. Our dreams are connected...how could I not know?" Hearing what the witch said, my heart suddenly thumped, and the pores of my body instantly felt goosebumps . "I can hear your voice, I can know your feelings, and I can even know what you are thinking in your heart...even though it is very hazy, but I really...know it all."

It's over, it's over - now, I have no explanation at all.

I knew the character of Jeanne, the character of each of them.

If I just cheated emotionally, it’s actually nothing, she will be very happy, because my relationship with her puts both of us under great pressure-but it’s not good to practice yourself, it’s better to betray yourself no.

Except for the one who received the goods, no woman who loves me can accept me doing this. I’m afraid it’s more uncomfortable than killing her directly——My feelings have deteriorated, my spirit has deteriorated, and even my personality has changed because of the cheap sale ugly, no longer as noble as the king of a country, like a woman who committed herself to a romantic place because of the misfortune of fate, the beautiful diamond turned into black coke.

So, how do I explain this?Said it was just a joke?talk about dream【[

--no.I still vividly remember what the Witch asked me to do.She can tolerate me not explaining, but she will never tolerate me deceiving her, even if it is a white lie.

I took a deep breath, even though I knew I was doing useless work, but I still wanted to say something.

At least, let the witch feel better in her heart, and don't leave a dark wound in her heart.

"...Actually, it's not as serious as it says."

"Stop explaining... Arthur, let me hug you... just a moment."

"……it is good."

This time, she hugged her for a long, long time.

When she finally let go, she gently stroked my hair and kissed my lips like a dragonfly.

Then, she got up.But just when I wanted to get up from the bed, she held my shoulders.

"Arthur, wait for me first. I have something to say to Merlin."

"How long will it take? I'm very hungry now and I want to eat some food."

"Ten minutes... 10 minutes at most. Wait a little bit."

I frowned slightly.No one has ever made me wait, and this is the first time in my life.

After thinking for a while, considering that the fault was on my side, I had no choice but to nod.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Just knock on the door when the time comes."

"Don't worry, it won't be long."

With a forced smile, Jeanna walked to the closet, put on the scorched black dress, opened the door, and walked out.

At the moment when the sound of closing the door reached my ears, for some reason, a strong sense of exhaustion swept over my mind.

My body is much more fatigued than I imagined, after all, the overload of spiritual foundations is very depleting on the body.Coupled with the fact that my magic power is darkness, this loss is even more amplified.If there is no recovery of the scabbard, my self-destructive spiritual foundation is overloaded, and my hands have long been turned into stone.But even with the recovery of the scabbard, it can only repair the injury, not the long-term accumulated wear and tear.

Sure enough, releasing the holy sword to the sky is still too impulsive and irrational【$

It was too late to even lie down, I hugged my legs, curled up my body, leaned against the head of the bed like I did in childhood, and fell asleep again.

……

……

◆Jeanne Dalk◆

The moment I opened the door, my pupils shrank suddenly.

Taking a deep breath gently, I closed the door silently, carefully, not making a sound.

I went back to the couch and closed my eyes, trying to control my emotions and keep the tears from falling down.

The image of Arthur curled up, hugging her legs, and breathing weakly against the head of the bed, I can't get rid of it in my mind, like an engraving, and freeze her current image in my bloody heart.

"...What's wrong?" It was Morgan who made the voice.

After leaving the bedroom, Merlin directly contacted the Queen of Paradise.

After knowing the general situation, she immediately rushed over from the paradise and came to the living room of the hotel suite.

I didn't explain Morgan's question, but covered my face with one hand and pointed to the bedroom door with the other.

"...don't disturb her. She's resting."

With just such an action and a word, the two people in Paradise understood what I meant.

Back on the sofa in the living room, their expressions were similar to mine - more sad than disappointed.

She was obviously a slender and petite girl, but she was forced to become powerful and forced to become the king of a country.She gave her all and fell powerlessly at the end of her fate.However, fate was still not satisfied. She met me who was like a waste, and was forced to shoulder the human race—thus, the existence was distorted, the spirit was distorted, and the voice was distorted. One place is not distorted, as if forced into a mold named "King", it has to become like this.

Only now, in this moment of tranquility after exhaustion to the extreme, does the original appearance appear slightly.

After an unknown amount of time, I took a deep breath, and the cast steel solidified on the outside of my heart, making a puffing sound, making my inside like a monster-like armor——I will no longer be cowardly, no longer Don't hesitate any longer.

"Morgan, Merlin, although you already know it, I still want to emphasize it." After speaking, I opened my eyes, and the tears accumulated in my eyes disappeared without a trace. "I will live, in whatever form, in whatever shape, whatever the cost - Mordred thinks only she can save Arthur, I am like her, I think only I can Give her happiness. Even though Arthur sold himself, I hope you can understand the relationship between primary and secondary."

"I understand, and so does Merlin." Morgan said calmly, with a fake smile on the corner of his mouth. "In terms of our love for Arturia, Merlin and I will never lose to you, and neither will Guinevere—【}

"Since you are participating in the Holy Grail War, you must conclude a contract, right? Are you going to join the war as servants? Or form a separate camp?" I asked.

"Servant." After a pause, Morgan explained: "The hometown of Merlin and I is Avalon in Paradise. There are too many goblin blood in my body, and only a few traces and characteristics of humans remain. If you stay in this world for too long , we will not only lose our strength, but also gradually become unable to survive, just like fish out of water. If you have the supply of magic power, and then pretend to be servants, Merlin and I can stay in this world for a long time, and Don’t worry about the effects of the mysterious recession.”

"It's just..." Merlin spoke after careful consideration as in the past: "Just, Jeanna, can you afford the consumption of three servants now? In principle, Morgan and I are illegal summons. The consumption of paying the contract will be even greater. Is your magic power sufficient? Will it not affect Arthur?"

"It didn't work before, but now there is no problem." I answered cleanly.

"What happened?" Merlin asked suspiciously.

"I ate the spiritual cores of two servants—just like a demon devours the soul." I explained with a smile, "Arthur said, the golden one is called Gilgamesh, and the blue one is called the old man in the mountain. Eat Dropping spirit cores and digesting them can provide me with a lot of magic power. For example, now, Arthur's magic power is provided by me instead of flowing back to her..."

Morgan's face became gloomy, looking rather oppressed.

Fortunately, Merlin's complexion is normal, she still has the same smiling face, her pink pupils are shining brightly, giving people a sense of knowledge and experience - of course, it also makes me unable to see what she is thinking.

Too bad I can read minds.Looking into their eyes, I can know their feelings.

——They are worried and afraid.Because I am the creation of the God of Misfortune, destined to bring disaster.

"Even Arthur is not worried, what are you worried about?" I sneered, my posture was quite arrogant.

"Before signing the contract, I must tell you a word of warning—" Morgan's voice was very cold, as if the so-called paradise was actually a frozen kingdom: "Jeanne Darc, if you dare to hurt Arthur in the slightest, I will I will never forgive you."

"Ah, I understand. Once I hurt Arthur, I will become a sinner, the same existence as you—" I squinted my eyes, not giving the two of them a good look at all. "How is it possible? If I don't even have the awareness to dedicate everything to this love, how can I persist until now?"

"it is good……"

Morgan and Merlin glanced at each other, their right hands sliding in the air, drawing runes I didn't recognize.

The runes are pink, a bit like the beginning symbols of a musical score, or shorthand for some kind of creature.

After the two runes were drawn, the condensed magic power slowly flew to my left hand.

"Then, the contract is established. Merlin and I will assist you in the Holy Grail War with the rank of Alter Ego."

The severe pain was like burning with flames, or scalding with hot water.

Two bright red Command Seals slowly appeared in my left hand.One is on the back of the hand, in the shape of a butterfly spreading out flat. It is the famous goddess of light, Morpho, and is known as the most beautiful butterfly in the world.It is indeed a symbol of Morgan's identity.One is on the wrist, in the shape of a blooming flower - it should be "Christmas rose", a kind of iron chopstick flower that does not bloom near Christmas, it is quite rare.Available in pink and black.It is not only a valuable medicinal material, but also a poison.

At this moment, the magic power in my body surged and overflowed, spreading to the direction of output to Arthur.

Then, I heard the sound of deep breathing, like a person who is about to suffocate in sleep is awakened.

— Arthur slept very lightly, really lightly.

——Even though I controlled it as much as possible, she still woke up.

Taking another deep breath, I stood up and walked towards the bedroom door.

He opened it with a smile, and said to the slender and dazed Arthur in the most gentle tone with a smile——

"Arthur, it's been agreed. It's exactly 10 minutes...it shouldn't be too late, right?"

Chapter 65: Cherish Yourself ([-] words)

◆Artoria◆

"Arthur, it's been agreed. It's exactly 10 minutes...it shouldn't be too late, right?"

The witch smiled and said.But I always feel that her smile is very false, and her confidence is not very strong.

However, these are not important, I am really hungry now, so I just nodded.
