lost narrative poem

Chapter 318

However, Saber did not directly appear in his bed. This incident really made Xia Ran feel relieved. After all, the relationship between the two parties has just improved not long ago. If it happened suddenly...

Well, I guess it would be embarrassing, and it will probably take a lot of time and effort to re-maintain the relationship.

Of course, he didn't say anything at the moment, he just sat up from the bed and looked at the knight girl for a while, and then lay back straight - anyway, it was confirmed that the situation was not so embarrassing, and there was no problem at all, he could feel at ease Continue to salted fish.

"..."

"..."

Arturia was speechless for a while.

She didn't know what to say at first, and after the stay time was over, she only felt in a trance, as if she fell asleep unknowingly, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a dimly lit room. in the bedroom.

The dim light had no effect, she could tell at a glance that this was a clean and simple room, and the facilities in the room were very simple - because apart from the bed, there was only a wardrobe and a computer desk.

Other than that, it can basically be said that there is nothing, it is simply clear at a glance.

Even though she recognized the person lying on the bed, she should be her Master, but in such an environment, the girl couldn't help but feel a little bit of vigilance and restraint, and even a little wariness.

——Because of the space, the Command Seal in Xia Ran's hand was not only reset to three strokes, but he could also use the points to continue recharging and reset the Command Seal after use, and the price is not too expensive... …

Although it must be recharged after returning to the space, it cannot be reset anytime and anywhere in the mission world or the real world, but it is already qualified to waste. Evil thoughts...

Well, although I do have a certain understanding of Xia Ran's character and style, she is still a girl no matter what. Faced with this situation, how could she not think twice?

However, what left her speechless was that Xia Ran suddenly sat up and looked at her for a while, then went back to sleep without any response...

The appearance of this salted fish is completely devoid of any dream at all.

Although Arturia breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, she also felt a strange mood subtly.

Of course, she didn't go into it seriously, but after a moment of silence, she tentatively called out: "Master?"

"Well, it's me, no need to confirm... This is my main world and my residence, but it's also my room."

A lazy voice came from the bed, and there was a stuffy feeling, as if it was the kind that couldn't lift up——

"You turn left when you go out, the next room is the guest bedroom, but you need to tidy up... If you are tired, you can go there and tidy up by yourself, or it is not long before dawn, go downstairs or the living room on the second floor to watch TV. Can……"

"..."

"..."

"Master, is it really okay for you to look like this?"

Saber's tone was full of helplessness, when this terrifying magician returned to his harbor, was he actually in such a salty state?

"Tsk, what's wrong? This has already returned to my comfort zone, can't I relax? But it's only a ten-day rest period, why do I have to stretch my spirit so tightly?"

Xia Ran's tone was still lazy, as if he had made up his mind not to get up like this, and it was indeed only at this time that he was the most relaxed.

In the mission world, let alone sleep time, even meditation requires a little attention to pay attention to the outside world at all times. It can be said that there is no rest at all times. This kind of rest does not require the recovery of mental strength or physical strength.

Because it is not how much mental or physical energy is consumed, but a kind of mental exhaustion. This kind of general mental fatigue needs to be properly adjusted by rest, otherwise, it will only continue to be overdrawn.

Until the day when it is finally completely overdrawn.

"So please leave me alone, I don't want to strain my nerves forever, and then grind it finer and thinner until it breaks completely at some point..."

Xia Ran said lazily, buried her head in the pillow, smelled the familiar scent of peace of mind, and felt a burst of relaxation in body and mind.

"..." Saber felt speechless again, but there was nothing she could do about it, and she had to admit that the other party was right.

Even she is fine, that is, when she was fighting outside in the past, she would tense up and never relax.But once he returned triumphantly and returned to his own kingdom, he would subconsciously relax.

After all, the iron blood and perseverance of a soldier are aimed at the enemy and the battlefield, not at the loved ones, or at the things he guards.

Otherwise, fighting would be pointless.

It is even no exaggeration to say that if she is always tense and never relaxes, then she, the king of knights, probably will not be able to survive the day when the kingdom is divided and destroyed, and she will die of overwork first...

Staring at the salted fish on the bed for a long time, the knight girl could only sigh: "Then Master, you can take a good rest, I won't bother you for the time being..."

"Yeah." Xia Ran replied sullenly, showing a feeling of laziness.

"..."

"..."

For a while, the dark bedroom fell into silence again, only each other's long breaths rose and fell.

Time passed by every minute and every second, about 5 minutes later, Xia Ran sat up from the bed again, her eyes calmly looked at the girl standing in the darkness, the latter seemed to be a soldier on guard, His posture is upright and straight, and his eyes are piercing.

She didn't clean up the room she was going to use in the future, nor did she plan to watch TV or anything, she just stood there quietly like that, like a guard who dutifully guarded the king's sleep.

"What are you doing?" Xia Ran asked calmly.

"I'm not doing anything." The knight girl replied in a puzzled tone, with a natural tone, "I just don't need to rest right now, so I'm just working as a guard..."

"..." Now it was the magician's turn to be silent, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

This seems to be the Servant's job, their most basic daily task.

Basically, it can be said that during the Holy Grail War, every Master is protected by Servants—even if they are invisible, it is often because they have transformed into spirits.

The only exception is Emiya Kiritsugu, who has quite a high level of independent action skills... Oh, yes, there is also the exception of Tohsaka Tokiomi, Gilgamesh's spiritual body is only by his side Watch him die.

"However, this is no longer the period of the Holy Grail War, there is no need to do this anymore..." He sighed long.

"Master, what does this have to do with the Holy Grail War?"

The knight girl also frowned, showing a complicated expression. The reason why she did this was because she felt that she was a servant and the other party was her master, and she had the responsibility to do her job well.

"A servant is someone who must protect his master, especially when he is sleeping, he should be most vigilant. If you are not in the same room, you cannot be protected."

"..."

"..."

Xia Ran was silent for two seconds, then got up and got out of bed to put on her shoes, sighed helplessly and said:

"Forget it, I'm going to tidy up a room for you now... You don't have to follow me all the time, at least you don't have to do this when I'm sleeping, and you can't transform into a spirit body, just stand there and stare at me all the time. Would you feel terrified, okay?"

"But if there is any unexpected situation..." Saber still felt that this was not good.

She has no objection to Xia Ran's relaxation, but she feels that she still has to do her job well, which is the dignity and bottom line of being a Servant.

"There won't be any accidents. Even if there is, you will be next door at that time, and such a short distance won't make any difference, and I will set up an enchantment around the house today to strengthen the defense... "Xia Ran's tone was unaffected.

He knew that it was meaningless to argue directly with such a stubborn knight. The best solution was to propose some roundabout ways to make the other party feel that he had still done what he should do and that he could get what he wanted. result.

So he didn't say that there is no need for guards at all, but he just explained that if Saber is next door, then there is no difference from being in his room, only separated by a wall.

In this case, one person takes a step back, the Servant can stick to his bottom line and dignity, and pursue the life value of self-realization, and the Master can also have his own private space, without being stared at with emotionless eyes while sleeping. with.

"OK then."

Sure enough, Saber just hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, not persisting in this matter.

——Really, it’s not good to be too devoted to your duties, and sometimes it’s really a bit of a headache. Having said that, how should I deal with her identity in this world...

Xia Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, he opened the door, and walked out first, followed by the knight girl.

……

……

It doesn't take too long to tidy up the guest bedroom next door and come out. With Xia Ran's current sharp eyesight and quick thinking, he basically just walks in and walks around, and the guest bedroom that has been unused before has a new look.

"From now on, this is your room, you're welcome, use it to your heart's content..." Xia Ran said to the knight girl, "If there is anything missing, even if it is a decoration, you can tell me , after all, you are my king."

In the end, he even made a small joke, meaning that Arturia is the legendary King Arthur after all, so there is still some treatment for arranging the room according to his wishes.

"Master, don't say such things anymore, there are no kings and courtiers anymore..."

Saber shook her head, stared into his eyes, and said so very seriously.

"I am just your knight now. Since I have made a contract and oath before, I am your sword. I will obey your orders, attack your enemies, and protect your life."

Her will is unquestionably pure.

Xia Ran couldn't help laughing, then shook her head, didn't continue the topic, turned around and walked out the door——

"It's also about this time, so let's go directly to have breakfast, and talk to you about daily problems by the way."
