Stray Chapter 90: The long-lost campus…
It's the next morning.
The rising sun wakes up the sleeping city...the city that has never slept at all. The golden and soft morning light shines into the kitchen. The master and the knight are sitting opposite each other. meals.
"I'm making great progress... Could it be that I was thinking about it all night last night?"
Glancing at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Xia Ran hesitated for a moment.
He originally wanted to remind the knight girl to let her understand that it is not suitable to eat too many rich and greasy meals in the early morning, and it can be used as a meal for lunch and dinner...
But after thinking for a while, and looking at the hope and expectation in the emerald green eyes of the petite **** the opposite side, he still encouraged him. As for correcting the other party's thoughts, it was instantly was thrown to the back of his head.
——Anyway, this poor king of knights is pursuing this, so it's better not to attack her self-motivation...
Besides, wouldn't it be the best development to have such a maid at home who is very interested in studying cooking skills? After all, it was him who benefited in the end. In addition to the physical problem, there was no risk that it would cause too much burden on the stomach, so there was no problem at all.
"No, no, I just, just read the book for a while before going to bed and summed up the shortcomings of last night..."
Saber's cheeks were slightly red, and she whispered, she was a little embarrassed to admit that she was really interested in this kind of thing, so that she spent most of her private time thinking about this kind of thing all night.
This doesn't sound very good. If so, doesn't it make her seem like a foodie?
"No wonder it seems to be the dishes that appeared at dinner last night..." Xia Ran glanced at it and nodded lightly, but instead of continuing to ask any more questions on that topic, she directly held up the food in front of her. Bowl, picked up chopsticks.
"Phew..." Saber felt relieved when she saw this, she really didn't want to discuss this kind of topic with the master——
There is no other reason. It was just that when she had her first meal in this world, Xia Ran stared at her for some reason. Left some awkward strange feeling...
So much so that when she is sitting at the dining table now, when the other person is watching and talking, she will think of the embarrassment she had felt before, so she subconsciously behaves a little cautiously. To put it bluntly, she felt that she might have been really rude before.
And now this situational topic is very easy for her to recall her previous embarrassment, so she feels awkward because of this, and she doesn't want to talk about this topic very much, and she doesn't want to leave the master with the impression that she is a foodie.
——It's probably something that girls have in common, but what she doesn't know is that the label about this aspect has already been attached to Xia Ran's heart, and it's not that her current behavior can Can be reversed.
"By the way, I'm going to school today, what are you going to do, saber? Well, I mean what do you think?"
Xia Ran is not a person who advocates "no words when you eat, no words when you sleep". For him, it is normal to say things by the way while eating, so he asked this very calmly.
"What do I have in mind? What do you mean, Master?" Saber frowned slightly, put his chopsticks on his lips subconsciously, and looked at him in surprise.
"I mean, what are you going to do?" Xia Ran explained calmly, "Do you stay at home to watch the house, and continue to study the recipes by the way... Or go to school with me, what do you think about this? , I want to hear your own opinion."
"I'm going with you, master!"
Saber suddenly understood and said with a serious tone.
Although I have roughly understood the background of this world, and I also know that this world is relatively peaceful, although there are still disputes in some places, it is still normal-
After all, it's still the same sentence. Unless human beings are completely wiped out, there will never be true peace on this planet. Even the Holy Grail will be prepared to pass extinction in the face of the great ambition of "world peace". It is conceivable how contradictory this situation is.
But even so, this world is still in a generally peaceful rhythm after all, and there are not as many dark sides as the fate world, murderers, dead disciples, true ancestors, magicians, not only the human society on the bright side is constantly strife, You fight to the death, and the inhuman blood-sucking species and those with inhuman values in the dark are also making troubles...
It is said that the mysterious side of this world has declined, and I don't know how long it will take until the next rotation... Saber also doesn't understand these words. As an ancient Briton, she did not The cognition of "yin-yang transformation" does not understand what is called "all spirits rise and fall, no constant strength, no constant weakness".
She only knows that the current world is indeed much more peaceful than the world she was born in, and with the ability of her own master, as long as she doesn't go to the mysterious last position similar to the inner side of the world, such as Gensokyo Something like that, it's no problem at all.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Even if the bonuses of skills and equipment are not calculated, Xia Ran is already a monster in human skin just by looking at the pure basic attributes.
If the 20 points of the Obsidian Pod's bonus are calculated, his current basic stats are: Strength 65, Agility 70, Constitution 70, Intelligence 119, Spirit 119, and Perception 95.
It's really a very ferocious level, and this is just the basic attribute value.
Extremely comprehensive illusion ability...
A psionic power that overlaps with the realm of illusion...
Not to mention other abilities such as summoning abilities, destruction spells, and powerful melee combat, these two trump cards are enough for him to run rampant in this modern society.
But knowing is one thing, and what you want to do is another. You can't just paddle with peace of mind as a Servant because you think it's almost impossible for your Master to be in danger and you won't be able to use yourself. Are you fishing?
At least Artoria is absolutely unable to do such a thing, just like guarding the king's bodyguard in the palace, and maybe never encounter a situation that really requires them to do something, but it doesn't mean that Their presence is not required.
"I knew... let's go together."
Xia Ran is not surprised by this. He actually asked the question out of courtesy, fully showing that he respected the free will of the servant, but he already knew the answer.
"Huh?"
"Is it weird? You thought I would dissuade you?" Xia Ran raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I'm not so bored, and it's not that I don't know saber, you definitely won't listen to my opinion, so just agree directly. okay?"
"Master, it's not that I can't listen to other people's opinions, it's just that I have my own persistence and judgment in these aspects..." The knight girl sternly corrected his statement and explained.
"Okay, I know... that's it anyway." Xia Ran had no interest in having a debate with her in the morning.
"That, Master, won't this trouble you?" At this time, Saber was a little worried about him.
"Is there any trouble? Although the school is not directly open, it is not as heavily guarded as a military base..." Xia Ran shook her head. "Under normal circumstances, as long as you register, you can enter directly."
"Is this ok? No problem?"
"Of course it won't be a problem...just, you can stay somewhere in the school, it's definitely not okay to want to be in the classroom during class, and I won't let you stare in the hallway outside Look at me, that's too creepy..."
Xia Ran put down her chopsticks and lowered her head to think about it.
There is no problem with Saber, but it is very troublesome that she can't be spiritualized, of course, it is not only because of the problem of spiritualization, mainly because he is not used to a girl with the same spirit behind him silently beside him He stared at himself endlessly.
However, just bring her into the school and don't care. It's not a problem. Of course, it's not to say that the school is very dangerous. The ivory tower is not so dangerous. He mainly thinks it is very troublesome.
Wait, in fact, I don't need to be so entangled, doesn't Emiya Kiritsugu's approach provide me with a good idea?
……
……
"Xia Ran, good morning."
After a long absence, I arrived at the school, went back to the classroom and sat down. Satisfied, I looked around at the slightly unfamiliar environment that I felt familiar from the bottom of my heart. Xia Ran nodded lightly.
It's just that I just put my bag away and glanced outside the corridor subconsciously, and then I heard the sound from the back seat.
He paused for a moment, then turned around, and found that the girl in the back seat looked at him with a calm expression, her slender white hands were folded on the table, and a textbook was spread out in front of her.
It seems to be a very common scene, the people are ordinary and beautiful, and the behavior is the performance of ordinary students, however——
Why did I just ignore her existence?
"Long time no see, Kato-san."
However, this phenomenon is normal. Kato Megumi has her own breath to block Ex-level class skills. Isn't this a fact that has long been established? So Xia Ran immediately disapproved and greeted with a smile.
"Long time... no see?" The girl tilted her head and said with a puzzled face, "Although you didn't come yesterday, Xia Ran, you didn't even take the exam, but it's only one day, so it doesn't count. Long time no see?"
"I haven't seen you for a day, it's like every three autumns..." Xia Ran said sternly, with a very sincere tone, "In my opinion, it really feels like I haven't seen you Kato for a long time, so I have been missing you very much... "
Huh? How do you feel that you seem to have said such a similar thing a long time ago?
Illusion, it must be an illusion, it must be the sense of sight brought about by the confusion of time and space, I am always troubled by it, and always subconsciously feel that a certain scene and a certain dialogue have experienced the same...
Xia Ran quickly found a reasonable scientific explanation. He is a person who believes in science, so he nodded secretly in his heart.
"Thank you, but I always feel that this statement is perfunctory and does not seem to be sincere."
The ordinary girl with no features nodded lightly, and said with a calm expression as usual, with a calm heart.
