I, Who Saved Xingyue, Became the Master of Xingyue

"Master Rider."

Hearing himself being called, Rider turned his head.The two cyborgs were staring at themselves and the boy they were carrying with emotionless eyes.

"Master Caster is looking for the escaped android. Do you have any clues?"

"No."

With a speed of a few tenths of a second, he gave an answer that didn't even show signs of thinking.

Although the android cast a glance at the boy being carried, he turned and left after saying "Is that so?"

"You guys have to work hard~"

With gratitude, Rider waved goodbye to the departing androids.

Although I don't know what's going on, but if Caster is chasing this android, it will be even more difficult to save him.He wanted to discuss with someone, but Saber never talked to himself, so he didn't know what his personality was; Lancer never cared about things like artificial people—in other words, he probably neither came to chase, nor Reach out—Berserker is out of the question.

In this way, there is only one Servant left to rely on. Rider came to Chiron's room and knocked on the door to announce his visit.

Chapter 14 Joan of Arc's doubts about Tianyang

"Archer. I'm Rider, is anyone in the room?"

"Rider? No, not a single one."

That's good, Rider said and opened the door.Seeing the man on his shoulders, Archer immediately sensed something, and led the two of them to the bedside.

"This is the android that Caster is chasing after."

"I think it is……"

Rider put the android on the bed and took off his cloak temporarily.After wiping the filthy body with the towel that the considerate Archer gave him, he wrapped him in a borrowed robe.The man's expression was full of pain, and his breathing was slightly short of breath.

"Archer. You know a lot about medicine, right? Check him out."

"understood."

Black Archer Chiron is not only the leading sage of the centaur race who was bestowed with various wisdom by the gods, but also the teacher who educated Greek heroes such as Hercules and Jason.

Among the characters he taught was Asclepius, who was even called the god of medicine by later generations.Of course, he is also very proficient in medical skills.

Archer took his unconscious hand, felt his pulse, and put his hand on his heart.He observed the android's body in detail with eyes that had been honed over time as an Archer.

"It seems that the magic circuit almost went berserk. Since the magic was used when the glass was broken, I think that maybe the remaining magic power rioted in the blood vessels... In addition, there is another simple reason, that is, fatigue ..."

"Overworked?"

"I'm afraid, he has never walked even once in his life. Even standing up on his own strength, this is the first time today."

"Is that so... Is he a newborn baby?"

Originally, a homunculus is a life that can move from the moment it is cast.If it is a perfectly manufactured artificial human, it will not die due to its lifespan.But, perhaps due to distortions in birth itself, androids often have many physical defects.

I'm afraid this artificial human is born with a weak body.Probably because it was produced for supply, not combat.Although he has a first-class magic circuit, he doesn't have a body that can use it.

If magic is used, even if the circuit can withstand it, the body cannot.

"As long as you don't use it, it's fine, right?"

"It should be. It's just... Even so, it is very difficult to live seriously. I'm afraid I can only keep my life for three years."

The room was surrounded by silence.For three years, facing this too cruel voice, even Rider lowered his shoulders.After a while, Rider broke his restraint.

"...I'm so sorry I made your bed dirty."

"It's all right. . . . but let me ask you a question. Why do you want to save him?"

After hearing Archer's question, Rider answered without hesitation.

"Because I want to save him."

There was no momentum in his words.Just save because you want to save.Simple and taken for granted.Because of this, it was difficult for anyone other than Rider to do it.

"Caster seems to be chasing him?"

"Ahaha, who cares about him?"

He smiled and raised his hands in the air. Although Archer sighed, he also thought that his judgment must be correct.It is true that winning on the battlefield is very important, but the current situation does not fall into the predicament of forgetting even the duty of the Heroic Spirit.Saving him and letting him go, this should be allowed and should be done.

"...I'll leave this room for a while. No one should come. Even if someone knocks on the door, don't respond."

"Thank you. Let me stay for a while, then."

Just before leaving the room, Archer suddenly asked Rider:

"You, want to take responsibility to the end?"

Rider, who was asked this question, cast his gaze at the android sleeping on the bed.He recalled the weight of his body on his shoulders just now, it was hopelessly light.The trembling arms covering his head were as thin as dead wood.The innate fragility of not even being sure about walking.

Even if they successfully break away from this fortress, it's hard to say whether they can survive.Taking responsibility means taking responsibility for his life.But unfortunately, I couldn't accompany him for three years.Even if you want to accompany, the Holy Grail War will not last that long.So, to what extent do you have to save him—to respond to your own desire to "want to be rescued"?

Rider doesn't know.When you don't know, you should do whatever you want. This point has already been decided by yourself.Protect him and help him fulfill his will.

"I'll help him until I admit it. I won't abandon him."

As soon as Archer left the room, Rider put his hand on the android's forehead and whispered:

"Get up. Are you already awake?"

Hearing this, the android opened its eyes, raised its upper body unsteadily, and stared at Rider with wobbly pupils.Like a little animal with nowhere to run, Rider thought.

"ah!"

Rider first tried to say hello, but all he got was silence.

"that……"

"------"

"Forget it, what should I say...um..."

"------"

Rider tilted his head.At such a time, what should I say to let him know that I am a partner?After hesitating for a moment, Rider embraced the android's head with both hands, bringing it to his chest. Rider maintained this state and said:

"So you understand? There is no one here who will hurt you. I am here now to fulfill your wish."

"...?"

not understand. What Rider was saying, the cyborg couldn't understand.It's not that he can't understand words, but that he can't understand Rider's will.

"Tell me about your wish."

Rider whispered so in his ear.The artificial man began to think.Desire, wish, wish—after all, do I have the right to put my wish into words?

I have no power, no possessions, and no history of accumulation.It's just a device to supply magic power——but I even gave up on this task.

However, he still has a desire that is not commensurate with his status.That was his wish hidden in his body, a dream.He never thought it would be possible.However, just talking about it should be fine, he judged like this.

open mouth.Use a vocal organ that has hardly been used until now.Although it was a painful homework, he barely said "wish".

"Please help, save me."

Upon hearing this wish, Rider replied with a light tone:

"Understood. I will save you"

It's such an incredible speed that one even wonders if he has thought about it.Unbelievable, the android looked at Rider's face with such thoughts. Rider showed an unscrupulous smile.

"Did you say 'please save me'? I heard you. Don't look at me like this, I'm also a Heroic Spirit. I think I will save you no matter what."

Will he save himself?Will he realize his wish?Can you trust him? ——No, not like that.I wanted to believe him, and the man-made man prayed.

For this cyborg, the first person to meet was the "Black" Rider---the seamless warrior, Astolfo, how lucky it was.

Rider puffed up his chest and said:

"Okay, okay, what should I do to save you, let's first think about it together. Ah, don't think it's better to leave it all to me alone. After all, in terms of lack of thinking and judgment, no one compares It's my Astolfo!"

The android opened its eyes wide and accepted Rider's words.His innocence, which seems foolish even to doubt whether he is reliable, makes the artificial man have a heart-warming touch.

----

Arriving at Tulifas at dawn, Joan of Arc immediately encountered the unexpected difficulty of finding a place to live.As the old man said, there is not a single place in Tulifas that can be called a tourist attraction. Perhaps for this reason, there are only three hotels here, and all of them are full.

"This is the first time we have encountered such a thing... I am very sorry"

Regardless of the panicked hotel receptionist, Joan cast her eyes on the men and women who were chatting and laughing in the hall.There is a weak magical reaction, it seems to be a magician... probably a magician from Yugdomerenia.Apparently they were all staying at the hotel in Tulipas.

"No, in this case, there is no other way... Do you have any idea of ​​where to stay in other places?"

"How about going to church?"

Yes, and the church.Jeanne felt a little ashamed of herself for not even thinking of this.I seem to be put together by the knowledge of the present world.Normally, they would go to the church first.

After asking the receptionist how to walk in the church, she started walking towards the church.Perhaps having overheard their conversation at the hotel, she noticed several people following her.

"Hey, are you going to follow me all this time?" Jeanne couldn't help asking with a little distress.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, and it's good to follow the adjudicator. Besides, I can help you if there are some inconveniences. Besides, the red team is trying to assassinate you at the moment. As long as you follow you, there may be a fight. That's pretty cool."

Tianyang smiled lightly.

"Who the hell are you? A master who participated in the Holy Grail War will have a treasure? And it's mine!"

Joan of Arc's face was full of doubts. To be honest, Joan of Arc began to have some doubts about the origin that Tian Yang explained to herself. After all, Tian Yang was not like an ordinary person at all.

"You don't need to doubt me. I didn't do the anomaly of the Holy Grail War this time, and your revelation didn't tell you that I was in danger. Otherwise, you would have done something to me, wouldn't you?" Before there was any definite evidence, Zhen De would not do anything to Tianyang at will, otherwise Joan would not let Tianyang follow her.

"It seems that you know me very well, and you know so well about my skills."

Joan took a deep look at Tianyang, she always had a feeling of being completely seen through in front of Tianyang.

Tianyang just smiled lightly and didn't explain much.

"Are you going to follow me all the time?"

"That's right, it will last until the end of this Holy Grail War without accident."

As for the purpose, of course it is to avoid that kind of unscientific plot, but Tian Yang will not say what he is thinking.

Moreover, following Joan of Arc, you can also watch the plot and intervene whenever you want, which is quite free.

By the way, you can also enjoy the taste of being a teacher once.

Although it is really difficult to turn an illiterate into a schoolmaster.
