[FGO+Daoran] Excuse me, did you get bullied and cried again today?

(228)

The sky has turned white.

Another sleepless night.

The black, long straight girl pushed aside a large pile of official documents that had been processed, and threw aside the corrected drug research report.He stood up, yawned, straightened his waist, and prepared to take a short rest before dealing with matters related to the current government.

Hasebe, who was standing outside the door, pushed the door open and entered.

"Who?!" The black long straight girl put her hand on the saber vigilantly, and then put down her arm when she saw the familiar white shirt.

"It's pressing." She said lazily. "Did you rest well? Why did you get up so early?"

"Because you haven't gone to rest yet, so... I... can't sleep." I don't know if it's because I recalled the past, Hasebe's tone contained some intimacy that I didn't realize.

The black long straight girl teased him with some resentment: "Don't be like your body knife. At the Throne of Heroes, you only think about how to stick to me all day long."

But that knife is me.Hasebe thought so, but didn't say it.

He restrained himself and didn't let himself think about it any further.Otherwise, he might even be crazily jealous of his body knife that has been following her side all the time.

"Forget it." The black long straight girl didn't realize what Hasebe was thinking.She just thought that her joke made the serious and introverted valet shy.

So she went on to say, "I'm going to take a rest. Would you like to follow me and take a rest together?"

"...Okay. I'll go with you then. To your room."

(229)

On the way to Hei Changzhi's dormitory, Hasebe asked her a question with some doubts.

"Master...you...you are obviously planning to go here for vacation? Why are you dealing with things in this world so seriously now?"

Obviously... these things have nothing to do with you.isn't it?

So why do you bother with their business?

"Because those people need me." The black long straight girl blurted out naturally without even thinking about it.It was as if he had answered such questions many times before, fluent and proficient. "So, I have to be responsible to those people."

(230)

The black, long and straight girl spread out the quilt on the tatami, and took up a large part of it by herself, but also left enough distance for one person to sleep.

"Here, sleep by my side for a while." She said to Hasebe. "This time, you don't have to be afraid of having nightmares. I'm right by your side. If you have something to do, just wake me up."

Hasebe took off the extra decorations on his body, folded his coat neatly, then lifted the corner of the quilt, and lay down on his side.

In the ears, there was the gradual and gentle breathing of the girl with long black hair and straight hair.Reassuring.

She must be tired too.

So quickly fell asleep.

Hasebe gradually fell asleep amidst the sound of even and tiny breathing.

(231)

"You're here again?" When Hasebe regained consciousness, he found that he had entered the dream of a girl with long straight hair.

Now, he couldn't tell where he was.

The buildings here are very similar to the Honmaru in Cheongju City, but with a metallic luster unique to post-modern architecture.

In the distance, a huge planet can be clearly seen.

The dots are the annual rings of that planet, and the traces of all life from birth to death.

The black long straight girl sat cross-legged at the main seat in the lobby, a seat made of magic light curtains, looking down at him.

But there was no one around except him and her.

Only that huge planet is constantly changing every second, distant and cold.

Throne of Heroes.

This word suddenly appeared in Hasebe's mind.

But it couldn't be more appropriate.

Because that huge blue planet is the earth they live on.

"Although I can't see your face clearly, it may be due to the restrictions of the third law. But I can feel that you are the same person who broke into my dream last time." The black long straight girl stood on the throne of heroes get up. "You didn't say last time, what do you want? Why? Now, have you thought about it?"

(232)

Hasebe once thought that the so-called Throne of Heroes should be a beautiful place like heaven.

Heroic spirits are beings that are admired by people.

Therefore, the place where the heroic spirit is located should also be surrounded by flowers and praises.

Not like this - cold and lonely.

Just like a prison cell.

It is even more isolated and desolate than the Honmaru where Toukenfusangshen are located.

Hasebe began to feel angry, and even resented the existence that trapped her on this Throne of Heroes.

how can they...

"Are you... happy here?" Hasebe clenched his fists.

If she gave a negative answer, then he thought, he would do everything he could, no longer caring about rules or justice, even if he fell into the dark, he would take her away from this fate.

The black long straight girl did not answer this sentence.

She stepped down from the throne of heroes and walked behind Hasebe.In front of her was the shining blue planet.

Facing her Throne of Heroes is the island arc chain on the west side of the Pacific Ocean, consisting of the four large islands of Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, and many small islands.

"Looking at it this way, this planet is really small." The black long straight girl sighed. "Japan, in particular, is really a tiny place," she said.

"I am a heroic spirit from the Antu Momoyama period in Japan.

"So, do you know... During the Warring States Period, how many countries were there in such a narrow place with barren and mountainous land and frequent natural disasters?" asked the girl with long straight hair.

Before Hasebe could answer, she continued talking to herself: "88."

"Among them, the Oda Clan is just splitting off from the Spode Clan, a faction that couldn't be more insignificant."

"Look, even a small place like the East China Sea is divided into seven countries: Izu, Suruga, Ene, Mikawa, Owari, Mino, and Ise.

"The Owari of the Oda family is only one 88th of this group of small islands.

"Owari's sphere of influence is not even half that of Mino, Mikawa, and Ise."

"So, I never understood.

"Why can't the common people have enough to eat, but my father still wants to fight for more territory?

"Why do the city lords of various forces not think about people's livelihood, but think about how to start a war or grab more wealth?"

"A time when people were inferior to animals.

"I used to think that it would be good to reincarnate early after the morning waves. Who is going to care about the rest?

"But, who made me damn soft-hearted?" said the black long straight girl.

There was a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

"How can there be a real childhood in troubled times?

"Today's allies are tomorrow's enemies.

"In-laws will betray, relatives will rebel, loyal ministers will be instigated, people's hearts will be misled, and even children may become the deadliest sharp knife piercing your chest."

"Assassination, betrayal, poisoning, rumors, suspicion. This is all my life.

"So I thought: It's really boring to be alive. It's so boring."

"However, in Owari, there are so many children like Ranmaru who have clear eyes and have beautiful fantasies about the future;

"There are also families, households, stupid but simple farmers who think that by working hard and following the instructions of the Oda family, they can achieve the happy life of their dreams;

"There are also samurai and retainers who can sacrifice their lives for Owari at my command, and who regard the honor of the Oda clan above all else."

"Wars in the Warring States Period were always about life and death, and the winner took all.

"There is no such thing as peaceful evolution. Only the winner is king and the loser is slave.

"The winner of the war burns, kills, loots, and does evil wantonly. The loser can only linger on, and even be slaughtered.

"I can die early and be reborn early.

"But what about the people of Owari? What about the retainers of the Oda family? What about the children who haven't grown up yet?"

"A chaotic world needs order.

"If you want all people to live freely, you must first restrict some freedom.

"That's why I want to build a unified country.

"In this way, there will be no war between various places.

"People can trade from place to place, farmers can farm with peace of mind, technology can develop slowly, and children can play freely."

"The Oda family has been the guardian of Owari for generations.

"But what I want to protect is not the cold piece of land that my father passed on to me.

"It's about all the living beings who have grown and multiplied in that land from generation to generation, but have always yearned for a better life." The black, long and straight girl paused, and then continued.

"Later, I became a Heroic Spirit, and Owari ceased to exist.

"I looked at the planet in front of me, and suddenly felt that my previous thoughts were too narrow.

"In every corner of the world, there are people who are struggling to survive.

"There are children who dream of the future, and couples who beg for happiness.

"The voice of human beings, in the face of this huge universe, no, even for the earth, it is so small.

"One fire or flood can ruthlessly take away many such small but pious requests. Not to mention a huge natural disaster, technological weapon, or unknown threat."

"I... want to protect all living beings in this world.

"I want to protect those kind people, I want to protect the existence of human beings, and I want to use my power to maintain a peaceful, stable and orderly world."

"Until now...

"My wish has never changed."
