"Savior Lin Xiao, please prepare for the next mission tomorrow."
Lin Xiao and Atoriya, who were immersed in training, suddenly realized that a long time had passed and the next mission to save the space was about to begin again.
Just after eating Atria's dark food that night, I received a reminder from the goddess.
"It seems that I have to work hard again." Lin Xiao shrugged, feeling helpless.
"Well...I don't know why, but I have some expectations." Artorya was somewhat enthusiastic.
"Ah, you are really full of energy at all times, but you still have to be cautious."
"Caution is a must, and there is no shying away from it. In fact, I look forward to helping you, Lin Xiao."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's really an honor, but you don't have to look forward to it too much. After all, I'm much stronger than you, so you can rely on me for future tasks."
"Well, I know, so I will continue to work hard and become someone worth relying on." With this, the girl looked at Lin Xiao firmly.
"I can understand your determination. Artorya, it's great that you have this idea. I believe in you. We are already partners fighting side by side." Lin Xiao encouraged the girl as she patted her shoulder.
.
Artorya resolutely said: "Then we will fight together as a companion. Lin Xiao, just watch. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."
"Of course, I'm looking forward to it...but we shouldn't waste this night before we go out. I have a good place to spend my time."
Atoriya saw Lin Xiao's mysterious look and asked curiously: "What kind of place is it?"
"Then, come with me." With that, Lin Xiao stretched out his palm to the girl. Artorya hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly stretched out her hand, and their hands joined each other.
It seems that there was a scene a long time ago, a gentle hand reaching out to save the girl who lost herself.
Holding the girl's hand, Lin Xiao led her, slowly walked forward, opened the random door, and then turned the door handle again.
The dark night is dotted with stars. This is a bright starry sky. Those twinkling stars are so calm and peaceful.
Under the starry sky was a piece of green grass. Lin Xiao was lying there comfortably and Atoriya, who was also lying next to him, was looking at the starry sky.
"Hey, how are you doing, Artoria? This place is nice."
"It's beautiful and quiet. I like this feeling." Artorya whispered back as if she was intoxicated.
"It would be great to be able to do this. This is the beautiful scenery I discovered not long ago, but I never noticed these beautiful things for a long time until I met a certain idiot knight recently."
"It's rude to call someone stupid without permission."
"Okay, let's try another method." After a pause, Lin Xiao took a deep breath.
"Atolia, you are the person who changed me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"Thank you? I should be the one thanking you. Why should I do this?" The puzzled response.
Lin Xiao looked up at the stars with a smile on his face.
"I am an orphan, and I have experienced many bad experiences in my life. This made me suspect that I was an abnormal person. In the past, I would not have seen the stars at all, but would have been comfortable under this beautiful starry sky.
Get some sleep."
Atoriya secretly glanced at Lin Xiao next to her, was silent for a while, and then quietly replied: "I'm sorry for such a sad thing."
"Since a long time ago, I have been thinking, what is the purpose of people living in this world? I don't have anything I want to pursue, and I don't know what I am interested in. Of course, I have experienced happiness because of certain things, but
This happiness is very short-lived, and after being boring, it gives people more of a feeling of nothingness. I don’t understand that just letting the hole in my heart expand, Artorya, this is the real me.”
Atoriya thought for a while and replied: "Maybe I can't answer you the answer to such a question."
"When I first came into contact with you, I felt that you were very shining and walked firmly on the path of life you chose without any hesitation or regret. But I was the complete opposite. I just couldn't find it because I couldn't find it.
I gave up searching, how insignificant I was and just chose to escape. After that, I slowly began to yearn for you. I wanted to be someone like you, but I knew deep down in my heart that I couldn't be like you.
people."
"But I was deeply fascinated by you. When I lost you at that time, I felt that I had finished playing, so I desperately used the last straw, no matter what the cost. I want to
What I want is to seize this unattainable dream. Now that I have no expectations and pursuits, I have changed. All this is incredible just because of a dream."
"That was not a dream, but reality, just like we are having a conversation now."
"It's true, Artoria, you are always so kind...Actually, I am just afraid that one day I will lose this dream again."
Because it is very important, I am even more afraid of losing it.
"It won't be like that. I am by your side now, and I will be by your side in the future. I swear as a knight."
The girl knight, who has gone through so many things and has completely said goodbye to the past, swore her oath sincerely and seriously.
"A knight? If I wanted to treat you as a girl, what would your answer be, Artoria?"
Atoriya pondered for a while, then laughed: "Then I will guarantee this with a girl's oath."
Lin Xiao calmly said: "In this case, if you were a girl, Artoria, have you ever thought about having a special love?"
"Hey, why did you suddenly fall in love with this!" Arturia replied in a panic as if she was frightened.
"Hey, your reaction is really interesting."
"What!...Are you kidding me?" Artorya stammered.
"Seriously." Lin Xiao replied calmly, then he stretched out his hand and slowly approached his "treasure", and finally grabbed the girl's hand.
"Atria, then please stay by my side from now on and walk side by side until this starry sky falls and the world ends."
"As you wish." The slightly trembling voice answered.
What will greet the new-born girl knight and the redeemed lost boy next? Maybe no one knows, but the only thing that can be known is that they will move into a farther future.
