I Will Be the Son of Man

"That's why, boy. Only the act of not being ashamed is the key to freeing oneself from worries."

Speaking of this, Dan smiled and shook his head lightly.

"...It's shameless, I asked you to chat with me about some boring topics. Just treat it as an old man talking to himself and laughing."

After saying this, the old man closed his eyes and began to pray sincerely.

In order not to disturb the other party, Hill also left with the witch fox in confusion.

- Are all outcomes the product of the process...

*******

At night, in [Personal Space].

Seeing that Hill was still thinking because of Dan's words, the witch fox was a little worried about his state, so she opened her mouth to change the atmosphere.

"Speaking of which, the Holy Grail War has reached its second round, how do you feel, Master, can you get used to it a little?"

"No, although the battle is still the same... But you see, for example, the feeling for me is more intimate, denser, or something—"

"Yeah, I said it~! I'm a little shy~!"

The air suddenly became lighter, and the tail behind the witch fox flicked happily, showing a shy expression on her face.

Hill blinked, and looked at the Witch Fox strangely, thinking that the other party's sudden appearance like this might be due to some unexplainable disease.

"I'm used to fighting, and I'm pretty familiar with the form of the competition."

"That would be great, and I'm also very happy as a Servant."

Witch Fox smiled, and now Hill has returned to normal.

"Then follow this momentum and rush forward, Master!"

The witch fox made a gesture of encouragement, and then continued.

"Well, anyway, everything seems to be going well now."

"So, because the Master's servant is so cute, should it be a reward, or is it a sale at a loss?"

"To put it bluntly, if Master wants to know more about me, I will answer any questions you have!"

Then, the witch fox took out a strange thing.

It was a blank piece of paper, and a pen and inkstone appeared beside the other party at some point.The witch fox wrote on the paper fluently with the correct posture——

[I can only ask one special question~! 】

Even though it was just simple words, it conveyed the shyness of the girl.

Is it a question......

Hill took the paper and thought about it.To be honest, he really wanted to confirm the real name of Witch Fox, but the other party always concealed it when he asked him before, presumably there was something inside.

So, Hill dropped the question for now.

"Caster seems to be weaker than the other servants."

That's right, this was discovered during the first battle.Hill didn't quite understand the impact of job placement, and he hadn't learned the art of retouching, so he just expressed his confusion directly.

"What did you say?! Is that referring to me!?"

Witch Fox blinked, and looked at Hill in surprise, never expecting the other party to ask such a question.

Originally, she was ready to tell her preferences, or measurements... no, it was her interest, but she didn't expect Hill's question to be so realistic.

As a result, she felt a little depressed and a little awkward.

"Hmph, that's not my responsibility. Aren't the servants the ones who completely obey the Master's instructions?"

"If I grasp the knack well, I can still barely have combat performance..."

"The battle is so severe every time, isn't it because you, Master, always seem to be relaxed and careless?"

The witch fox snorted and turned her face away, her ears and tail stood up unconsciously.

But after thinking for a while, the witch fox realized that what Hill said seemed to be true.

After all, compared to other servants, her performance is really too single.

"Hmph, I can't help it. What do you think my job title is, Master?"

"The imperial defense in the world, the weakest and the youngest, the beauty is unlucky... the most useless Caster!"

"What I want to say is the candidate for the Holy Grail War! If he goes to the battle, he will be killed first! That's Caster!"

"What does it matter if you sympathize with me who has become this kind of job agency!"

"Even if I am successful, I can become a Saber!"

Saying something like a prodigal dog, no, a prodigal fox, Miko Fox seemed a bit self-defeating.

The other party's reaction also made Hill realize that he had asked the wrong question.

"Sorry, Caster..."

"...Forget it, there is no way to complain."

The witch fox turned her face back, with a little depression on her face.

"After all, there is no result in fighting other Casters. Our selling point is only tricks."

"I'm not suitable for hand-to-hand combat. But if it's fighting for positions, I think I can still enter the top three."

"No matter what, every family of Zefeng's envoys and demons is my avatar."

"If you form an army, it will be a large army of 800 million. If the opponent is human, it will be an invincible corner!"

Slightly regaining her confidence, Witch Fox raised her chin slightly, but soon became a little disappointed again.

"However, because of this, the hero is actually weak."

"The master knows that heroes, humans and monsters, do the three check and balance each other?"

Hill shook his head, confusion in his eyes.

"Humans cannot defeat monsters, monsters cannot defeat heroes, and heroes cannot defeat humans."

Witch Fox explained, then suddenly scratched her head in embarrassment as if she had come to her senses.

"It seems to be a bit off topic...... In short, I am not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, please understand this, Master."

"But, but, I am a late bloomer of an outstanding talent. If the bond with the master becomes deeper, then the strength will gradually increase by then!"

"So for now, please make do with it, Master!"

"It doesn't matter, no matter how you get hurt, as long as you don't die, don't worry, Master!"

"Because I will always be by your side."

The witch fox gave Hill a gentle smile, and Hill tilted his head in confusion.

Is there a relationship between fetters and strength......

———【Memory Dividing Line】——

"Impossible, why did we lose one-sidedly!"

"Obviously, whether it is strength or determination, the master is superior, why..."

Archer Robin Hood held his arm unwillingly, his body was gradually disappearing, and his master, Dan Blackmore, was also stained with that eroded black-purple color.

"I see. It looks like I'm still inexperienced. At this last moment, I misunderstood my own intentions."

Dan's face was very calm. He looked at the victorious duo on the opposite side, and he had recovered from his surprise.

"In the Holy Grail War, the strength of the will does not seem to be the most important thing. What is more important is the quality of the will, the power to move forward......"

Dan showed a look of sudden realization, looking at the firmness in the boy's eyes opposite him, he understood the reason for his loss.

"I don't have any doubts about being a soldier...but I have regrets..."

"The reason why I took back the Holy Grail was to bring back my deceased wife... What a stupid misunderstanding..."

"In order to dedicate my life to the military and live as a soldier, I have a cold and thorough personality of giving up everything."

"Such a man has given up being a soldier, and at this moment, insists on his personal wish."

"Only this time it's a challenge as a man..."

"I used these words as decorations, hid them in the shelf, and even took out the knight's glory......"

Dan laughed self-deprecatingly. After all, he finally took out his private wish from the bottom of his heart.

"It's so stupid, I wanted to get back what was lost until the end."

"But, which one am I looking for? A wife? Or the original life of a human being before becoming a soldier..."

This monologue was like last words, and the figure of the old knight in black gradually became thinner.He and his servant Archer, as if sacrificed for fate, began to disappear from under their feet.

"However, to my surprise, at the last moment, your blow was not lost."

"Even though it can't be expressed in words, you must have something you can't give up."

"I don't have the desire to be proud of like others. What I have in my heart is just a dead man's dream."

Dan clutched his chest and looked directly at the boy.

"Survive in confusion, young man, this confusion will one day turn into the will to pierce the enemy, please don't forget."

"Okay, even though he showed such an ugly look at the end, defeat is not a bad thing."

"It's really a meaningful battle, haha! This is the first time that it has become the cornerstone of young people."

His last smile was very dazzling. Sir Dan Blackmore's expression was no longer as serious as usual, and the old knight was as contented as he was looking at his grandson.

"Sorry, master, as expected, I'm still not suitable for direct combat."

"An ignorant hero can't respond to your magnanimity. I'm really ashamed. If it is another follower, I will definitely not let the master become like this."

Robin Hood's face was filled with apology and guilt, and he blamed himself for the final result.

"No, I'm the one to apologize, Archer. Because of my selfish behavior, I restricted your fighting style and tarnished your modesty."

Dan sincerely apologized, after all, this result was actually caused by his decision.

"Really, it's too late to say such things now, sir. My side is working hard because of your order."
