lost narrative poem

Chapter 353 Arrival

"I don't need it, thank you, you can call yourself..."

Xia Ran shook his head, he was not hungry at all, or he didn't have any appetite at all.

Since Saber was gradually cultivated the basic qualities of a maid, he also found that he didn't have to worry about basic necessities of life.

Because this King of Knights is indeed a genius. Not only has his cooking skills improved rapidly, but he has also done things like tea art and housework in an orderly manner, so Xia Ran doesn't need to worry about it at all.And with just a few compliments, she will immediately glow, as if a soldier died for a confidant...

Xia Ran did not comment on this seemingly extreme distorted chivalry.

After all, he wasn't sure whether all the Knights of the Round Table were like this, or whether Artoria was a special case——

Considering that she has experienced the Battle of Jianlan and the Four Holy Grails one after another not long ago, the goals she has been pursuing have been denied one after another, and it seems that she has lost the value of life... So now she is a bit overcorrected, and she is very eager to get the affirmation from the Master.

Because it will make her feel that she has value again, has found her goal and direction, and is full of motivation?Well, if you think about it this way, it seems that it is really possible!

If this is the case, it can only be said that Saber herself is also a fan of the authorities, otherwise, she would not be fooled into going astray by Xia Ran's few words, and go farther and farther on the road of maid.

And she hasn't noticed this trend yet, but she is full of motivation every day, thinking about how to better complete the task of the master, so that she can live up to the name of knight (lady) lady (servant)...

But it is also because Saber works so hard, three meals a day plus supper, Xia Ran is not easy to discourage the enthusiasm of the maid, so the diet is very regular these days... Although it is not a bad thing, but eating too much will make you feel tired .

Xia Ran, who usually can't eat three meals in ten days, feels that she is in a subtle embarrassment.

Anyway, there will be Saber's dinner after I go back later, and there will be a supper at around ten o'clock in the evening, so it's better not to eat too much outside now... Tsk, I always feel that I have been duped into it for no reason, although This was the development I wanted to see.

Moreover, Saber's craftsmanship is objectively quite good. Basically, breakfast is one level, and dinner is another level. In the morning, it's still a common household meal. It's not unpalatable, and it's delicious, but at night It has reached the state where it is possible to open a restaurant exclusively.

Perhaps on the second day, the Michelin three-star chef will not be able to compare with her. If it is another day, the dishes made may glow, and eating it will make people's clothes tear...

Well, maybe it’s not an exaggeration. After all, Xia Ran vaguely remembered that in a certain IF line, this knight king did have a maid-side spiritual foundation, and it seemed to be a Rider class. He held a mop as a holy sword, and belonged to the green card status. ...

Wait, what kind of weird stuff is that information in the back?Where did I receive the information from?He shook his head vigorously, and found that many things had been blurred.

"Xia Ran, what do you want to tell me?"

At this time, Kato Megumi took a bite of the small cake, and then looked at the boy opposite him peacefully, not knowing why he suddenly asked her out.

"This one……"

Xia Ran restrained her thoughts and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to explain it for a while. She obviously thought there was no problem with this matter before, but when it came time to explain it, it was hard to be justified.

You can't really just say something domineering and let Megumi Kato accept the facts unconditionally and without reason, right?

But at this time, it can't be anticlimactic. It's really just going out for tea with Megumi Kato, right?Besides, tomorrow noon is the workplace apprenticeship, it is impossible to keep this matter secret...

He sighed, thinking that he should try to strengthen the girl's sense of existence, lest he always ignore her subconsciously.This situation is really very abnormal, as it is now——

Unknowingly, the expression of the girl on the opposite side became very pale again. It can be said that it has no personality at all, and it is an unimpressive face...

"It's like this, isn't it going to be a workplace internship tomorrow? You and I are in the same group, Kato-san, right?" He organized the speech a few times, but he didn't think it was very good, so he simply threw away the foreshadowing and went straight to the point .

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Kato Hui asked calmly.

"Kato-san, I asked Hiratsuka-sensei to revise our location arrangement, and Hiratsuka-sensei has agreed..."

Xia Ran stared closely at the girl's face, carefully paying attention to the subtle changes in her expression and eyes, unwilling to let go of the slightest detail——

"So at noon tomorrow, we're going to the area around the seaside Makuhari station, but I forgot to inform you about this before, and I didn't remember it until today..."

"Oh, I see...that is to say, at noon tomorrow, the place we're going to will be Kaihin Makuhari Station, isn't that right?"

Kato Hui suddenly nodded, her face still had that regrettable calm look.

"..."

"..."

"What, what's the matter? Student Xia Ran, is there something on my face?" Kato Megumi felt a little unnatural to be stared at by the opposite magician with a strange gaze. asked.

She subconsciously stretched out her slender index finger and wiped it lightly on her face a few times, but she didn't realize that the corners of her lips were inadvertently stained with pastry or something.

"It's nothing, I think your attitude doesn't seem to have changed at all compared to before..." Xia Ran couldn't help sighing. "In your reaction to this matter, other than "I know", don't you have any other feelings? "

Kato Megumi's reaction is still very ordinary, and he treats this matter with sincerity that makes people feel ordinary.

It seems that she just accepted it so calmly, without too many emotional ups and downs.

"Any other thoughts? Ah, I don't seem to have been to that area before, it feels a little sudden, and the preparations I made before are completely useless..."

The girl put her index finger against her lips and thought for a while, then said this in a slightly troubled manner, but her tone was still quite peaceful.

"So... you're not angry at all about this?"

"Why are you angry? This kind of thing is no big deal—" Kato Hui gave Xia Ran a strange look, and replied as a matter of course.

"Student Kato, I really suddenly felt that you are so bullying... there should be a limit to how you can talk."

Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, he felt a little guilty for no reason, whether his behavior was a little too much for this... girl.

There has to be a limit to bullying, right?

"Am I easy to talk to?" Kato Megumi blinked, seemingly unconscious of it.

"..."

"..."

"Forget it, then you can come with me tomorrow..."

Xia Ran sighed again, she probably messed up Kato-san's plan, and seeing that she didn't know much about the new location, she didn't feel at ease leaving her behind.

Anyway, at that time, I don't really need to play with those two troublesome and awkward guys by myself, as long as I keep paying attention from a distance, so there will be no hindrance, and I don't have to worry about Megumi Kato being involved in these irrelevant things in the vortex.

"Is this a confession?" The girl tilted her head, wondering.

"If you really think that way, how about at least acting a little shaken?" Xia Ran said very calmly, "It's just that I think I disrupted your original plans and preparations, so I can't Just leave it alone."

"..."

"..."

Kato Hui nodded thoughtfully, but her expression gradually became as pale as before, a regrettable calm.

Xia Ran didn't say anything else, just raised the cup and took a sip. This matter is really easy to solve, all it takes is to come to inform, it seems that no matter how excessive the matter is, she will calm down With an oh, he silently accepted it.

Well, an understanding girl like Kato-san is really the most likable.

……

……

Time came to the next day in a hurry, and the week-long regular exams have all ended.

The students' moods were very complicated. Basically, the time after the exam was over was spent on constantly reviewing the exam papers. Some people always felt that they were stable, so they were full of confidence.There are always some people who, the more they discuss with others, the paler and bloodless their faces become, and they have brought the traditional art of scaring themselves to the extreme.

Such an arrogant example like Xia Ran who simply skipped all the regular exams and is in a particularly good mood without taking the exam results to heart is one of the very few people, or maybe he is the only one.

However, there is another activity that has been prepared for a long time today, which is the long-awaited workplace internship. After entering the lunch break, the students will form teams to go to the workplace they want to visit according to the prior arrangement.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui are in a group, and Totsuka Ayaka is also in the same group.

It's just that the latter hasn't arrived yet at the moment, but Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui have already met first, and they happened to run into each other when they were changing shoes at the school gate.

"Well... good afternoon."

Hikigu Hachiman was stunned for a moment, and then slowly said a word stiffly.

"Ah... good afternoon, noon."

Yuigahama Yui looked away as if she didn't know how to react, and greeted in the usual way, with nothing special in her tone, but it was completely different from the previous energetic and even silly impression.

There is no tit-for-tat friction and collision between the two people, but only a sense of estrangement and distance.

"Well, Totsuka hasn't come yet, let's wait for him here..."

"Okay, okay..."

The conversation ended here, and the two people who had changed their shoes went to the bustling aisle outside and waited quietly.

At this time, all the sophomore students gathered here, waiting for the departure time.Most of the people were full of interest in the next workplace internship, and discussions sounded all around one after another, which seemed extremely lively, but these two people had no intention of talking at all.

The somewhat awkward atmosphere still exists, and has not changed in any way due to time...

Yuigahama Yui lowered her gaze, wondering what she was thinking.Hikigaya Hachiman had a stinky face, trying to comfort himself in his heart——

Great, very cool, everything is back to how it was before.

His inner peace was restored, and Yubibin was able to get rid of his self-blame and return to his old life.There should be nothing wrong with this choice, and it can even be said to be a very correct win-win choice!

She didn't have to dwell on that level of contingency, much less feel guilty about being lonely the moment she entered school.

So, this thing ends here.Everyone just needs to go back to the past and live their own lives...

——This dead fish-eyed boy will definitely not admit that there is even a trace of regret deep in his heart!

"How awkward is this person..." In the distance, Xia Ran looked at these two troublesome people, couldn't help sighing, then turned to look in another direction, under the snow Also happened to be looking at him.

The eyes of the two intersected for a moment, and then they each took it back, as if they had exchanged some information and tacitly understood it.

Xia Ran gently raised his hand, tossed a coin high, and then fell into his palm. After he glanced at the results of the positive and negative sides:

"It should be fine... Well, don't worry about it, let's go directly when Kato-san comes, and go to the stepping point by the way..."

"..."

"..."

"Student Xia Ran, I've always been here." The girl standing next to him said so calmly.
