Stray Chapter 95: The girl who traveled through time and space
"Can be seen as... a living person? Isn't it too rude to say..."
Yukinoshita's brows have been frowning all the time, and it hasn't stretched since just now. She carefully looked at the knight girl next to her, and found that the other party didn't have any disgust.
The demeanor and expression are the kind of calm and composed, and even the eyes are the kind of indifference that has long accepted the fact-
Obviously she looks like a 14- or 15-year-old European court girl, but her awe-inspiring aura is simply unforgettable... Such a person is shining like a shining diamond.
Even if Yukinoshita was holding some unreasonable vigilance and inexplicable displeasure, she couldn't help but feel that such a beautiful girl really shouldn't have encountered such a fate...
However, Saber really doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of thing. After all, this is her situation. There is nothing rude to Xia Ran's statement. Treating her as a living person doesn't make any difference. She felt offended.
Or should I say, as a failed person who has lost everything, being able to continue to have precious hope because of the qualifications of a heroic spirit, this kind of thing is already considered a luxury... She doesn't feel that she is still She needs to be sympathized or pitied, because she accepts the predetermined fate with full relief.
But Yukinoshita, who was born as a modern person, is different. At this moment, he has made up a lot of things in his brain——
Looking at Artoria's calm performance, she doesn't think it's because the other party doesn't care about these things, but thinks that this girl is likely to have been flattened by the cruelty of reality, and she is powerless. Let's fight against such an unfair fate again.
——That is, I have already accepted my fate...
Thinking like this, Yukinoshita Yukino turned to look at Xia Ran, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Just when Xia Ran tilted her head and expressed her doubts, the girl with long black straight hair had already sighed, turned her head back, looked at Saber's emerald green eyes, and asked seriously : "You...what's your name?"
“…”
“…”
The latter hesitated for a moment: "Leetixia?" She said the name of a French village girl that Xia Ran made up for her directly.
"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the real name, even my sister knows it must be a fake name..." Yukinoshita said angrily, and glared at Xia Ran again.
"Her name is Arturia Pendragon."
The magician felt that he was really lying down and was shot, so he could only say Saber's real name. Anyway, there was no need to hide it at this time, and he was no longer in Fuyuki City in a certain world.
"Arturia Pendragon..." Yukinoshita muttered to herself, repeating the name suspiciously, her voice so small that she could barely hear.
The next moment, she raised her eyes and looked directly at Xia Ran: "This is the name you gave her? Why did you choose such a name?"
A moment of silence, Xia Ran didn't say anything, just asked with great interest: "Why do you think so, thinking it's the name I gave her?"
"Isn't this a matter of course? Regarding the name "Arturia", it is very similar to the feminine form of the Roman word "artorius", that is, "Arthur" The name..."
Yukiushita looked at him solemnly and explained his thoughts seriously.
"In this case, if her name is expressed in a male form, wouldn't it be "Arthur Pendragon"? It is exactly the same as the legendary king of Britain, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table... No matter how you look at the name, it seems too similar, right? "
“…”
“…”
There was a moment of silence in the service department, and Arturia opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything helplessly.
After a while, Xia Ran couldn't help but applaud softly, staring at the girl opposite her eyes full of admiration—
"Okay, Yukinoshita-san, just hearing a name, you can instantly recall the corresponding knowledge points, and I don't think this kind of coverage is like a high school girl's performance..."
"It's okay, compared to a pervert like you, I should still be a normal human being." Yukinoshita didn't care, and didn't think his performance was great, at least for the person in front of him. Nothing in front of you.
"This kind of statement is a bit rude to a normal person... Do you know how many people will be expelled if you say this lightly?" Xia Ran pointed out the girl's wrong without knowing it. place.
Facts have proved that the attitude of being strict with others and being lenient with oneself is the standard of conduct for the vast majority of people.
If Xia Ran had done such a thing, when others expressed their admiration and praise, he would have humbly said that it was "something that anyone with brains can do, and there is basically no difficulty." Countless people launched rude map artillery strikes...
"Don't change the subject, you haven't said why you gave her such a name." Yukinoshita urged him to explain.
"There is no reason, because this is her own name, and it has nothing to do with me..." Xia Ran didn't play any mystery, "The similarity of the names may not be a coincidence, but because she is herself?"
Snowing that, Yukinoshita blinked several times.
"Huh? Not a coincidence... what do you mean?"
She doesn't seem to hear clearly and asks again.
"The name Arthur Pendragon is the name she has been using before, but there is no need to cover it up now, so I changed back to the current female form of the name..."
Xia Ran stretched out her hand, pointed her finger and said nothing—
"Let me introduce formally, this one is the Lord of Camelot in ancient British legends, King Arthur or the King of Knights. In the era of withering knighthood, holding the holy sword brought short-term peace and finality to Britain. prosperity..."
“…”
“…”
"Wait, wait, you let me slow down first..." Yukinoshita pressed against her temples like a headache, she felt a little confused now, "You said she was King Arthur, who most of the information They are all from Celtic myths and legends and medieval unofficial documents, can't they even be legendary characters that really exist?"
"If it is fake, it will be replaced." The magician answered decisively.
Anyway, he didn't say that he was King Arthur of his own world, let alone that Artoria was from another world. All in all, from the perspective of objective facts, this blond and blue-eyed exotic girl was indeed that A legendary king.
"Are you kidding me? If that's true, she's at least from around AD 500?"
"What's with this? You have even seen the gods who have survived in the distant ancient times, and they are two of them. They both live in this city. If their ages can be calculated, they are at least two years old. More than a thousand years old..."
Xia Ran pouted, disapproving of this.
"And that big monster, stronger than those two gods, who knows she is... Well, anyway, you should know that this world is not as simple as it seems, even if it happens when you meet I wouldn't be surprised at Kaguya in "The Tale of Bamboo Tori", would I?"
I originally wanted to use Yakumo Zi as an example, but I don't know why, before the words were half finished, Xia Ran suddenly felt a burst of heart palpitations, and instinctively issued a warning, telling him to stop.
Having always believed in his own intuition, he very decisively paused for a second, then quickly thought about another classic example before continuing.
"What you're saying seems to make sense, but...it still feels weird."
Xuexia didn't notice Xia Ran's pause and change, she put her hand on her chin, showing a contemplative expression, stared at Saber next to her, looked at it, and finally it was a little hard to accept.
"Maybe it's because I don't know those gods or big monsters. I don't have any doubts about them even if they are women, but you said... that King Arthur is a girl? This..."
"It's also impossible. In her era, girls couldn't directly inherit the throne. But King Arthur is destined to be a girl and can only hide his gender." Xia Ran snorted, eyesight But he was looking around erratically, he didn't believe that his intuition would warn for no reason.
"Destined to be a girl?"
"At that time, the Roman Empire was invaded by foreign enemies, and it gradually showed a trend of demise and division. The Britannia Islands, which were once part of the Roman Empire, fell into a situation of struggle against each other. King Uther had no choice but to hope The next generation must create a new king who is born above the mortals."
Xia Ran explained, and at the same time, because there was no sign of Yayunzi, she could only withdraw her gaze angrily——
"So he and Merlin, the royal magician, combined the blood of the King of Britain, the ideology of Britain's incarnation as a red dragon, and the noble female blood that perfectly blended the two, and created a mother's womb, and King Arthur was born... …”
"Master...why do you know such a thing?" The knight girl who was digesting some of the information about the mysterious side of the world just revealed by the master looked up at him in astonishment.
"Of course Merlin told me..." Xia Ran said without blinking her eyes, her face not blushing or panting.
The magician's clairvoyance is the weakest among the crowns. There is no way to see through the "past" and "future", but can only see everything in the "present". From the perspective of the development of modern society, it can That's all it takes to browse the content of the entire Internet freely.
Even in the world of fate, Xia Ran doesn't counsel him. I'm sure he won't speak ill of Merlin, so he won't speak ill of Gilgamesh. Now that there is a dimension wall, he will naturally not care about Merlin's thoughts. .
"..." Artoria suddenly looked embarrassed, how could she believe such a thing.
"I feel like I haven't woken up yet..." Yukinoshita murmured with a sigh mixed in. She is quite distressed now, and she always feels that the subtle emotions she had in the beginning are now gone.
On the contrary, it was King Arthur, Merlin, a series of elements that only appeared in legends, and even the legend itself appeared in front of her, making her feel at a loss now.
Although I have long known that since I discovered someone's secret, I have already had an intersection with the world over there, but when I really find something very familiar happening in front of my eyes, the girl will still have a sense of herself. The feeling that the world is gone forever.
"Just get used to it." Xia Ran comforted her kindly.
The girl ignored him and just frowned: "Then why did she become your... Familiar?"
"About a month ago, she experienced the last battle of her life, the legendary Battle of the Sword Bar, and then she and Mordred almost died together. When she still had her last breath, she was unwilling and unwilling to accept the ending, so she prayed for a chance at the expense of her own soul..."
Xia Ran took the whole thing to the end without changing her face——
"In the end, her prayer was answered by the world, her dying state was frozen, and she was summoned to the modern age by the power of magic, spanning a thousand years, and after some twists and turns, she became a contract with me. The servant..."
