Chapter 319 What Problems Can There Be?

morning.

The soft and peaceful morning light shines in from the window and spreads on the square table.

On the edge of the table, a blond girl sat naturally, receiving the faint sunlight, and the morning light melted her into one with the surroundings without any pollution.The dignified and upright posture is so clear that even breathing is an interruption.

Xia Ran prepared the tableware for two people, then served the prepared meals, then sat down and signaled that it was time to start——

Although he originally planned to simply settle for breakfast, he didn't need to eat so much in the early morning, and he didn't need to have no appetite. After all, he could already rely on magic and spiritual power to survive.

Nutrients supplemented through daily eating are no longer so necessary, and he has become farther and farther away from the concept corresponding to the word "human".

However, considering that Arturia needs to be cleaned up, even if it does not count other status elements such as kings and servants, even if it is considered from the perspective of "a friend is visiting the house for the first time", it is still possible. You have to be sincere, right?

In addition, considering that the knight girl doesn't have many hobbies, enjoying delicious food is one of them, so he simply made the breakfast richer.

And one thing to say, Xia Ran's cooking skills are pretty good.

Although it's not particularly good, it can't make special effects of glowing dishes or medicinal dishes, and there's no way to make people feel like they've encountered the most beautiful thing in the world after eating them. special effects...

——He didn't understand why there was such a special effect. Although it was possible, it was not necessary.

Besides, as long as his cooking skills are not compared with that extreme example, it will not be that bad. At least if you look at it by the standard of home-cooked meals, it is excellent.

In addition, Artoria was not blessed to enjoy delicious food during her lifetime, not only because of her strict requirements on herself as a king, she had no time to enjoy it, but also because she was born in ancient Britain...

The dark cuisine of that country is still stinky until today... the reputation is far and wide. As for the situation in ancient times when the productivity was extremely underdeveloped and the supplies were scarce and in short supply, you can probably imagine a thing or two .

Therefore, diners who are not qualified to be picky are already at the level where they can collide with sparks when they encounter dishes that are not low in level.

Artoria is like this now, she was a little hesitant at first, but after she picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, her expression changed slightly, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she picked up another chopstick and put it in her mouth.

Next, she was basically repeating this behavior, and every time she ate a dish she hadn't touched before, she couldn't help but nod repeatedly, as if she was expressing the deliciousness with her movements, her beautiful emerald green eyes The eyes are shining brightly, almost to radiate light...

This scene made people feel a little funny, but it didn't go to the point of gobbling it up, showing no ladylike demeanor, and it didn't destroy her beauty and good impression.

On the contrary, if you calm down and appreciate it carefully, you will find that her movement of waving chopsticks can even be said to be quite elegant, as if the flower of the battlefield is swinging a sword.

And thanks to the high-attribute coordination, this foreign girl didn't have the kind of foolishness that foreigners who used chopsticks for the first time would have. After a few simple uses, she had already mastered the trick.

"Master? What's the matter...why do you look at me like this? Is there rice grains on my face?"

After a while, she seemed to notice something, the beautiful blonde girl stopped slowly, frowned and raised her eyes to look at the magician across the table, and then found that the other party was interested in resting her chin with one hand, just like that Watching himself quietly.

Thinking of her behavior of wolfing down just now (thinking) being watched by the other party all the time, her cheeks flushed immediately, feeling a burning sensation, and she stammered and asked, "You...don't you eat? "

"It's nothing, I just feel that your performance is slightly different from what I expected..." Xia Ran explained calmly, "Hurry up and eat, don't worry about me, I don't have much appetite right now."

You look at me like this, how should I eat?

And what does it mean that it is somewhat different from what was expected?Was his performance just now really embarrassing?

The knight girl suddenly felt ashamed, and felt that this might really be the case. Her embarrassing behavior probably shocked the Master... The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this might be the case. She subconsciously squeezed the chopsticks in her hand tightly.

The delicate and slender fingers are not as impressive as they appear, so with a click...

Xia Ran didn't say anything, and silently handed over the unused tableware in front of her. Saber lowered her head and took it. She also didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became silent for a while.

"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold later..." Xia Ran said softly, breaking the silence.

It's just that Arturia almost broke the chopsticks again, if she didn't realize it, it might be better.But when you realize that there is someone who has been quietly watching you eat, then you will feel that something is wrong.

She felt that in this situation, it was difficult for her to continue to act as if nothing had happened... Look at yours, I eat mine?

"Master, did I...was I being rude just now? I'm sorry for making you laugh..." Saber took a deep breath, raised her head and looked directly at Xia Ran, her eyes seemed very serious.

"No, it's actually very elegant...you don't have to think too much." Xia Ran shook her head and replied seriously.

"..."

"..."

Saber lowered her head, and continued to wave her chopsticks silently, but her movements became obviously slower and more elegant.

Although she couldn't figure out whether she was acting a little rude, she felt that it was probably the case. Even the Master probably felt that these meals were not enough for her alone, so she said that she was not hungry and didn't want to eat. Eat and avoid her embarrassment.

Although she was ashamed and angry about this, such things were often described as darker and darker, and it was meaningless to continue to entangle her, so the only solution she could think of now was to end this breakfast as soon as possible.

Of course, under Xia Ran's sight, the knight girl also tried her best to make every movement of herself just right and in line with the norm.

The magician, on the other hand, couldn't help feeling sorry, thinking that he might have made a mistake. He eats so slowly, ladylike and elegant, and doesn't seem to have any "foodie" attributes.

……

……

The little episode of breakfast was over quickly.

At this time, it was almost eight o'clock.

"First of all, I need to explain that I am still a student, so I will not stay at home all the time, and I also have friends and circles that I care about, so I will go to school on time unless it is a weekend..."

While locking the door of the house, Xia Ran explained to the knight girl behind her what her daily rhythm was like during the rest period.

"Then what should I do?" Saber asked seriously, this was the question she was most concerned about.

"You don't need to do anything, and you can't transform into a spirit body... Don't show that kind of look, this is the truth, but I won't force you to just stay at home. You can use other methods without spirit body transformation." method to achieve the same effect.”

Xia Ran also knew that it would be unrealistic for the King of Knights to stay at home, and he was not going to toss the master-slave relationship that was already on the right track and developing in a positive direction, until it was as alienated as Emiya Kiritsugu.

Besides, this is not a short-term state. If it happens in a short period of time, it will pass naturally if you deal with it casually.However, the problem is that, barring any accidents, this master-slave relationship will continue for a long time, so it is naturally necessary to resolve Saber's role in the master world.

"Other methods? Is it your illusion, Master?"

The knight girl was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously thought of this possibility.

The opponent's illusion seems to be the most convenient and quick way to solve the problem. It can make others invisible to her, or ignore her after seeing her, or simply be able to see her and not ignore her——

But it is limited to the current interaction, as long as you turn your head, the impression will quickly fade away, as if it is a dream, leaving no meaningful memory...

"You can have this, but usually you don't need it..."

Xia Ran shook her head, and gave her own opinion calmly: "Maybe Saber, you haven't realized it yet, this is no longer a battlefield, so there is no need to think too much about covering up..."

"Huh?" The knight girl tilted her head, feeling as if she understood something, but she didn't.

"I mean, you only need to change your clothes, and who can find out what's wrong with you?"

Xia Ran could only speak as clearly as possible, and at the same time carefully looked up and down at the girl standing in the yard: "I remember that after you drew out your sword and became king, your body stopped growing, right? Is it always fixed at the age of 15?"

"..."

"..."

"Yes..." Speaking of this suddenly, after a long silence, Saber nodded quietly, and replied in a low voice, and at the same time, a subtle mood sprouted deep in her heart.

——Why?

Didn't you already know this kind of thing?Once she takes that sword, she will cease to be human until the very end.

That is not advice, but prophecy.

Draw your sword and be someone else.

Everything that was feared until now is a thing of the past.

This is a ritual to kill the self who once lived as a human being.

But in the end she made up her mind, just like a human being is born as a human being, the dragon also has the responsibility entrusted to the dragon.

However, this kind of thing that has been known for a long time, why did it feel completely changed when the guy in front of him said it in a different way?

——"Once you pick up that sword, you will cease to be human until the end"...

——"After drawing out the sword, your body will no longer grow, and you will always stay at the age of 15"...

Is there such a big difference between these two statements?

The king's body and appearance end at the moment of drawing the sword, and this is precisely because of the magic power contained in the sword in the stone.Though feared by many knights, the king's immortal image is considered sacred by most.

Indeed, once the sword in the stone is pulled out, her body will no longer grow and age, and it is impossible to be considered a human being at all.For man is mortal, but she is immortal.

It is precisely because of being so inhuman that some people feel fear and worry, and some people feel sacred and inviolable.

But just put it in a more straightforward way, saying that her body will not grow again, and she will always stay at the age of 15, but she feels... well, this is the first time I have experienced this feeling, it is difficult To describe, a little annoying and a little subtle.

"So, there is no problem. Now you just need to change into our school uniform. Who can tell that you are not a student at all?"

Xia Ran is a guy who doesn't understand slenderness, so he said so with confidence.

"But we can talk about this later, let's take you to buy some daily clothes for now..."

"Is there no problem with this, Master?" Saber frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that as long as it's not a weekend, you have to go to school?"

"In the past few days, I have been taking exams based on my mood, so there is no problem at all." Xia Ran said calmly, everything is under control, "What problems can there be? Don't worry..."

The music sounded, and at this moment, did anyone know who was calling.

"Hey?"

He glanced at the caller ID, it wasn't marked and he didn't have any impression, but he connected anyway.

The other person didn't say anything, and hung up quickly... He frowned slightly, who, is this a prank?
