Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

"It's amazing. Although I've seen your abilities before, your ability to find helpers surprises me even more."

Seeing Xia Yuan walking out of the infirmary where Elquit was resting, Chengzi, who had just returned from his busy work, couldn't help but admired a few times.

"Magician killers, crowned magicians, magicians, and members of the church's burial agency. Now even the princesses of the true ancestors have been attracted by you."

"Seriously, with the power you have prepared so far, you can try to subvert the order of the entire magic world."

"Is it enough to subvert the world order?"

Xia Yuan shook his head,"That kind of thing has no appeal to me. Whether it is today's world or the world after subversion, it cannot affect the real high-ranking people. All we need is a stable Just the world"

"A stable world... It’s no wonder. After all, for magicians, no matter what changes happen in the world, you will still have a place."

"Of course, I am just like you. No matter how the world changes, it is enough as long as there is still a place for me."

Hearing this, Chengzi smiled and stopped discussing this topic.

"By the way, are you really going to let Shi fight against a monster like Nero Kaos? Even though she has the magic eye that can lead to death, she is essentially just a new magician. It is no joke for her to face an old monster that has survived for hundreds of years."

Chengzi looked at Xia Yuan with a serious tone.

"If it doesn't work well, you will really die."

As the tutor of Ryo Ritsu and Asagami Fujino, Orange is aware of their abilities.

Shiki is not good at learning magic, and her route is at best a magic user similar to Emiya Kiritsugu, so in the past year During that time, she only helped them open magic circuits and taught them some basic magic techniques, such as strengthening magicians and suggesting magic. Although she occasionally took her on some missions, her opponents were ghosts or ghosts at best. A foreign magician.

Now Xia Yuan suddenly wants Shi to face an old monster who has been active in the dark side of the world for hundreds of years. This is something that is difficult for her to do, right?.

Seeing this, he shook his head and replied:"This is her insistence.""

"But this can’t be done by persisting……"

Aang Qi Chengzi wanted to say something more, but Xia Yuan directly interrupted the conversation.

"Don't worry, I have taken safety measures for her and will not let her put herself in danger."

Chengzi is right. Xia Yuan can't trust Shi to deal with Nero Kaos alone. Even if she carries Avalon, she won't worry. By then, Xia Yuan will be there in person to suppress him. And arrange a trustworthy strong man to help with the raiding formation at any time.

It just so happens that there is already a lot of grudge between Erquet and Nero Kaos, so if this task is given to her, it can be reversed. Also suitable

"No wonder, as expected, you were already prepared. I knew you would never put her in danger."

After getting the answer he wanted, Cheng Zi's frown finally relaxed.

"However, that girl cherished this opportunity very much. She is still practicing her magic eyes on the training doll I prepared. It seems that she really wants to express herself."

"show yourself?"

"Well, didn’t you see? Although Shiki has a cold temperament, she values you very much and wants to follow in your footsteps. This time she strives for opportunities and trains hard to prove herself to you."

"……"

Xia Yuan nodded

"I understand, but this is no reason to involve her in danger."

"But she is definitely not one to give up."

Because I want to seek recognition, I try my best, but... longing is the furthest emotion from understanding."

"Alas, you are really stubborn about this kind of thing. Forget it, this is your business anyway and I don’t care. After this incident is over, please let me go free. I also want to go out for a walk after the first time in a long time."

"Isn’t there still two years left? Do you want to leave so soon?"

"That's about it. As expected, I still can't sit still, and suddenly I want to go out for more walks. After staying in the Far East for a year, I'm almost exhausted. Didn’t you summon Cu Chulainn anyway? If he's here, I shouldn't be needed to protect Guanbuzi City."

"And the world is still big, isn’t it? We don’t need to stay in one place all the time. When I came back this time, I saw Qingzi and saw some changes that had happened to her. It made me want to travel around the world after a long absence."

"And this time I went back to Misaki City not only to visit old friends, but also to see that idiot Aoko eat a lot of food. It was really a refreshing experience, hahaha... I want to save that photo and wait until a few decades later Take it out and show it to Qingzi"

"Then you are really……"

Regarding Cheng Zi's behavior, Xia Yuan didn't say much and just nodded lightly.

He agreed to her request. Although it was still two years before the agreed date, since it was Cheng Zi's request, he did not refuse.

Originally, he thought that after the matter was over, Aozaki Orange would return to Guanfuzi City to pester Cu Chulainn to learn runes or go to the Clock Tower in London to regain his place.

I didn't expect that she would make such a choice.

However, traveling...

This sounded good, and he suddenly thought of Matou Kariya. I wonder how that guy is doing now?

"Thank you then, boss."

Seeing Xia Yuan nod in agreement, Aang Qi Chengzi couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, Orange, you first go find two pieces of your old clothes and send them to Elquette inside. Because she was resurrected just now, she is still naked."

When leaving, Xia Yuan reminded me

……

……

At night, Erquette woke up from her deep sleep again and climbed out of bed, stretching towards the white moon.

That beautiful golden hair exudes a charming brilliance under the moonlight.

"Well……"

The pain caused by the wounds on her body also eased a lot with the rest of the day. At this moment, she felt much more relaxed.

Then she habitually put on her slippers and the standard pajamas Cheng Zi prepared for her and walked out of the room.

"Good evening, Arquette. It seems that your complexion is recovering well."

Seeing Arquette who was able to move freely again, Xia Yuan, who was preparing dinner in the living room, said hello to her.

"Eh?"

She touched her body and smiled

"Well, thanks to you, half of the magic power lost in my body has been restored, and the wounds healed very quickly."

"Well, that's best. It seems like it won't take long for you to recover."

"Well, thanks to your timely treatment, it will take about a week. As long as I rest for another week or so, I will be able to fully recover."

A week is not a long time for the True Ancestor Princess who has just come back from the dead. Even if Alquitt has only recovered about 20% of her strength now, she is still confident to deal with any enemy.

Of course. Not counting those outsiders, such as Xia Yuan, who can't see the truth in front of him.

"Congratulations then. Do you want to have something to eat first? You've been sleeping all day"

"Eat something?"

Hearing this, Erquette subconsciously touched her stomach, which was indeed empty.

She had never eaten anything since she was killed, and she slept for a whole day after being resurrected. Although The Dead Apostle does not need to eat, only sucking blood is enough. However, because she never sucks blood, she will also choose to eat to restore her strength.

Because Xia Yuan gave her a blood transfusion before, her magic power recovers very quickly. Feeling hungry. But now that Xia Yuan asked for dinner, she actually felt that she was really hungry. No need to answer with words, this strange sound already gave the answer.

……

……

"I'm back."

Shi returned to the hotel after training outside all day. Then she opened the door and saw that there was another unknown woman in the living room. She had blond hair, red eyes, very beautiful appearance, and a good figure. More importantly, She was also wearing a set of pajamas.

This set of pajamas was very similar to the one provided by the hotel here. It was very interesting to see that Arquette looked a bit carefree. Alquet is sitting at the dining table eating dinner, while Xia Yuan is the one cooking. Because the hotel here is very high-end, each room is equipped with a kitchen as standard, which can satisfy those with special hobbies. Although it would be more convenient for the guests to prepare their own meals, I still don’t think so.

���She might not have eaten at such a late hour, so Xia Yuan thought it would be better to treat her by making a meal himself.

When Arquette woke up, he made a few more portions and invited her to dine with him.

However, in Shiki's eyes, things are not like this.

"I'm back, Shiki, have you eaten?"

"……No."

He shook his head, glanced at Erquette who was still lowering his head to eat, and then said something shocking

"Special room service you ordered?"

"Cough cough cough!!"

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, then spit out all the coffee in his mouth, with a look of horror on his face, but Erquette, who was new to the world, did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

"What kind of messy yellow waste quilts are contained in your little head?"

Then Xia Yuan rubbed his hair angrily.

"Do I look like this to you?"

"Eh? You actually figured it out so quickly? I thought my acting looked very similar."

"Although Shiki occasionally makes shocking remarks, he won't be as explicit as you."

"Then you really know her."

Zhi took his share of dinner very naturally, then sat down opposite Erquette and asked:"But we just left for a day, and you brought back a foreign beauty for dinner, and she was also wearing hotel pajamas. You Do you think you can be trusted?"

"She is my new helper. Didn’t Chengzi tell you when I brought you back?"

"Is she your helper? It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance. Anyway, bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks first. I'm a little hungry."

The misunderstanding has been resolved, and Ori is no longer entangled in the matter of Erquette.

"Zhi, why did you suddenly come out today? Shit told me that you haven't come to the event for a long time."

"I don’t know the reason, maybe she was a little too tired, so she fell asleep for no reason, and then I came out in a trance."

"Too tired?"

Xia Yuan was stunned, a little unexpected for this reason.

Can you be too tired with Avalon? As a professional who often carries Avalon, he understands the power of Avalon.

As a person who can heal all injuries and It was a cursed artifact. How could she collapse from mere fatigue?

However, he did not intend to expose this obvious lie. He just nodded slightly and motioned for Zhi to continue.

"Yes, after so many years of being together, I have never seen her work so hard. She actually cut for a whole day in a state of mental stress. She is probably exhausted now."

"So how is she doing?"

"how could I know"

"She and I don't completely share memories, we can just see some of the events the other has experienced, and occasionally we can roughly perceive the other's mood and thoughts, and we may not even guess correctly."

Liang Yizhi waved her hands, and then said:"However, I can still detect some of her mood. Although I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup you poured into Shi, but besides me, she is the first one to make her care so much. people"

"Although I don’t know what kind of mood you have in approaching us, but one thing I can be sure of is that you are not a bad person, at least you will never hurt us. It can even be said that you are a little overprotective."

Zhi finished the hamburger on the plate and then stood up. But this time he was a little different from the previous jumps. The look in his eyes looking at Xia Yuan was very serious.

"So... please don't be too arrogant, try to understand other people's feelings, and don't blindly exclude others. This kind of thing is not protection. Some things are best experienced together."

"……"

"Which anime did you learn these words from?"

"You think so, that's all. Anyway, that's all I've said, and it's all your business how you want to deal with it."

Compared with Erquette, who was still at the table, Liang Yizhi quickly got off the table.

He made a fist with his left hand and gently hammered Xia Yuan's chest, and then whispered

"I hope you think carefully before doing some things, and then decide how to do it. In short, it's really bad that you always keep distance from others."

"Okay, I'm going back to sleep. Don't say these words to Shi today. If she knows that I said these words to you, she will definitely blame me for being nosy."

"I understand, thank you, Zhi"

"You're welcome. Next time I come out, just take me on an adventure. I'm very envious of you always watching Shi experience so many interesting things."

"I promise you"

"Haha, then it's a deal."

After some vague exchanges, Zhi was in a good mood and didn't stay in the restaurant for long. He walked straight to his room, even his steps were a little cheerful.

Xia Yuan Staring at his leaving figure, he shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly:"One or two of them are like this... they won't even tell lies."

Watching Liang Yizhi leave, Erquette, who had been standing aside without speaking, finally spoke. She looked at Xia Yuan with some surprise.

"It's amazing. Are you actually related to her?"

"Which one are you talking about? Xia Yuan asked her:"The root cause?""

"You really know, I didn’t expect that she would actually be willing to get involved with others. This is really strange."

"Anyway, as long as you know it well, if she doesn't want to, no one will be able to find her. I won't say anything more. Anyway, let's get along well."

"I understand, thank you for reminding me."

After hearing these incomprehensible words, Xia Yuan thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and expressed his gratitude to Erqite.

Sure enough, she could also see the essence of Shi

"It's all trivial, but since she is willing to stand by your side, then I have nothing to be afraid of. Maybe I can really end things with Roja this time."

"Okay, I'm full."

After eating the last piece of bread, Erquette also ended the meal.

Then she looked at Xia Yuan seriously and asked

"Now that I have regained some strength, is there any plan that I need to complete, just in time for dinner?���move"

"In fact, it's nothing important. The current Dead Apostles can be easily dealt with by my assistants and the managers here. They are probably patrolling at this time.……"

——clang!!

Before Xia Yuan could finish his words, the furious Aozaki Aoko rushed in.

"Hello! Xia Yuan, vampires have appeared, and there are many of them. Yuzhu's familiar found that a large number of vampires suddenly appeared in the apartment in the city center."

The apartment in the city center?

Xia Yuan and Erquette looked at each other and roughly guessed the location.

Nero Kaos has found the apartment where Erquette was hiding before.

——Jingle bell, jingle bell!!

At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu also sent an emergency text message on Xia Yuan's mobile phone, as well as location information requesting support.

A large number of vampires and beast familiars have appeared and attacked an apartment. They are currently carrying out a large-scale massacre, and there are ancestors of the Dead Apostles commanding behind it. I cannot handle it by myself. I am now trying to contain it and requesting support.

"I see."

Xia Yuan finished reading the text message and then closed his phone.

The location above was indeed the apartment where he picked up Elquitt.

The familiars sent to test him had been wiped out by him, but Nero Kaos That guy hasn't stopped yet?

Is it because of his confidence in himself?

"Did you hear that? elquit"

"Of course, the beast familiar, I know who the guy is, Nero Kaos, he is really a haunting guy."

Recalling that annoying guy who has been pestering him for a long time, Erquette gritted his teeth.

"Since that's the case, let's go straight and try to kill that guy."

"I know."

Xia Yuan nodded, then turned his head and saw the girl who had already changed her clothes.

"……Is that okay?"

She didn't answer directly, she just took out the sharp knife and stared at it with eyes that changed colors.

At this moment, the answer was obvious.

Let's go.
