Stray Chapter 96: Defeat

Experienced some ups and downs? What exactly is this part of the brush?

Xueshita is keenly aware that there are definitely a lot of articles in it, and it is definitely not as simple as what Xia Ran said.

Not only because of her intuition, but also because when Xia Ran was talking about this, her name was Arturia Pendragon, and her real identity was said to be the King of Ancient Britain and the Lord of Camelot , The expression of the girl of the legendary King Arthur is very strange.

With such a performance, it is almost impossible for Yukinoshita to ignore the past with the words "There are hidden feelings" written on his face.

However, the only certainty is that at least the general process should be no problem, because she knows very well that since this person can say it to herself, it means that what he said is the kind that can stand the test.

Also... even though she didn't want to admit it, Yukinoshita subconsciously believed that this person wouldn't lie to her. This was a feeling without a reason, and it seemed that she was very unsatisfactory.

After a little hesitation, the girl did not go to the bottom of it, but turned to ask another important question:

"Then, what is this King Arthur... young lady praying at the price of her own soul? Why did she sign a contract with you and become your servant? Because you have the ability to fulfill her wishes ?"

"This question seems to involve personal privacy... Maybe you can ask Saber, if she is willing to answer you."

Xia Ran chuckled, this was what he wanted to see, even if Yukinoshita didn't ask this question, he would find a way to let her know more about Saber.

——After all, although the sense of mystery can be transformed into attractiveness, only the sense of mystery can be attractive. Once the sense of mystery is overdone, it will become concealment.

At that time, don't expect any attraction, increase your goodwill, it will definitely only increase suspicion and cause estrangement between the two parties.

The so-called skepticism occurs because of being concealed, or thinking that one is concealed. If you always feel that the other party is hiding something from you, it will naturally make people feel estranged and begin to become uncomfortable. Trust...

In every sense, Xia Ran doesn't want to see such a development. It can be said that from just now until now, he has been carefully grasping this degree.

Now it seems that Yukinoshita has mastered the rhythm, but this is the result he wanted to see——

If it is Xia Ran's strong control of the rhythm, she seems to be indifferent to the delicate psychology of the girl, even an attitude of impatience and indifference, showing "what's your business? Are you annoying? "If you feel this way...

Guess what would be the result of Yukinoshita's character?

The severity is definitely a geometric multiple of the current situation between Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuihama Yui, the kind that is almost irreversible - she will put away all her curiosity and attention, and never again If there is any intersection with Xia Ran, he will no longer pay attention to any of his affairs.

Xia Ran won't let that kind of stupid thing happen. The problem of Hikigu Hachiman and Yubihama Yui alone made him feel very troublesome. If this happens to me too... Is this some kind of youth drama?

In other words, what seems to be Yukinoshita's rhythm now is actually his dominant rhythm, and even the behavior and attitude reflected because of it is for this, just to eliminate the possibility that she herself may not be aware of it. Anxiety and rejection.

And it is very effective. During such a process, the girl who is constantly thinking about the question seems to have no idea at all, and she has brought in a certain role unknowingly——

She didn't think about her identity, relationship, and reason for doing such a thing...

"Saber?" Yukinoshita was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at the exotic girl beside him, "Is this name also..."

"Oh, that's the name I usually use for her. Servants are generally divided by class. It can be said that some unique abilities possessed by legendary heroes are expressed in the most suitable aspect. The frame that came out..."

Xia Ran spread her hands and said so.

"Although strictly speaking, as the true body of a heroic spirit, Artoria does not need the framework of the class to specialize her abilities, but she does fit the class of Saber the most, and she was summoned to the modern age with the help of this framework. , so I usually use this rank to refer to her."

"What's the point of this?" Yukinoshita felt that this didn't seem very good, and it seemed that the meaning of the tool man was more intense.

"Of course it makes sense. Servants generally do not reveal their real names because they need to hide their real identities. Therefore, when addressing them, they often do not call them by their first names, but instead use their class names. It avoids the leakage of information and affects the outcome of the battle."

Xia Ran explained it conclusively, this is really a very legitimate reason, although it seems that in the previous Holy Grail Wars, this recognized strategy often has no sense of existence.

A particularly famous person is easily recognized directly. Those who cannot be recognized are often not well-known, so there is often nothing to be concerned about. The strength of the trump card is not so strong. If you are weak... others don't need to target the weakness. Can win.

Or maybe it's just famous, but the actual setting doesn't match the legend at all. If you want to determine the other party's information based on the legend, you will be surprised to find that the legend is not credible at all.

“…”

“…”

Yukinoshita frowned slightly, didn't speak, just put her hand on her chin, as if she was thinking seriously about something.

"Because heroic spirits like Artoria were all heroes and heroes who left their names in history or legends in the past. Once their real names are revealed, their cards will be known directly..."

Seeing this, Xia Ran thought she didn't understand what she was talking about, so she directly used her doctrine, for example—

"It's not the worst. It's possible that even the weaknesses are exposed at the same time. Think what would happen if Achilles exposed his true identity?"

"Will he directly know that his weakness is the heel?" The girl replied calmly, as if she was not very interested in it, "I know what you are talking about, I am just thinking about what you said about the battle. something."

“…”

“…”

"Ahaha...Speaking of which, the weather is really nice today." Xia Ran blinked and suddenly turned to look out the window.

It's almost noon, the midsummer sunshine is just right, and the sky is clear.

Xuexia glared at him displeased, but then sighed silently, but didn't ask any further. She actually doesn't understand things like familiar demons and heroic spirits. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by covering a wide range of fields. It is simply a field that ordinary people can't touch.

The "ordinary people" mentioned here are not ordinary people distinguished by factors such as origin, background, network, wealth, etc., but refer to ordinary human beings.

However, she still has basic associative abilities. Servant, as an existence similar to a familiar, should undoubtedly play the role of a combat weapon, and it is still a kind of extremely intelligent and self-aware. and the living weapon of wisdom.

And things like weapons, of course, can't be without reason, they're made purely for fun. It's like tools exist because people need them to facilitate certain things or aspects of their work.

In other words, the person in front of her is likely to be about to face, or has faced some kind of danger that she doesn't know about...

Although he said it lightly, but no matter how he thought about it, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for a child to play a house, and it would stop. To put it more bluntly, it is probably the kind with a cruel **** smell...

So, Yukinoshita had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't. When she realized this, she unexpectedly didn't have any feeling of rejection and disgust, and then subconsciously made a move to alienate the other party——

Because she doesn't know what the mysterious world looks like, how sinister and treacherous, she doesn't feel that the ancient gods, big monsters, and modern gods that she accidentally ran into at Moriya Shrine. Feng Zhu can represent the entire field of non-knowledge.

Her rational judgment was just the tip of the iceberg. The world Xia Ran faced was completely different from the world she imagined. The real Xia Ran's approach.

Xueshita is very wise to only look at what she can see, and only judge Xia Ran who she is familiar with.

So, she suddenly feels a little discouraged now. No matter how much she asks here, it is useless. Even if the other party answers all questions and is very frank, there are still many things she doesn't understand at all. .

Of course, it's okay to continue to ask questions about those things that she doesn't understand, but it will only bring up a series of points that she doesn't understand even more... So I suddenly feel that what I'm doing doesn't know the meaning of what I'm doing. The other person is not from the same world at all.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xia Ran took the teapot beside him with a smile and poured a cup of warm tea for the minister, "Here, please drink tea, I made it myself, and the temperature It's just right, this weather is not suitable for drinking too hot..."

"..." Yukinoshita first stared at his face for a while, then seemed to give up something, and pressed his forehead with a headache, "Why do you seem to be nothing?"

"Because I really have nothing to do, and of course I'm nothing now..."

Xia Ran laughed heartily and pushed the cup in front of the girl——

"For me, this is the safest place, and there are not so many things to worry about."
