A true hero marries a man by his appearance [Comprehensive]

"Teacher Meilin...he is a conscientious and responsible teacher most of the time, but why can't he be seen sometimes at night? He obviously said that there is nothing urgent to deal with."

This naive question comes from a really naive girl.

The basic situation of girls is like this.

For a very important reason, coupled with her long-established desire, the little girl embarked on a journey of practice.

Still for that very important reason, girls need to sharpen themselves in different fields. It is not easy to learn not only swordsmanship, but also the knowledge necessary to become a king.

Under such a premise, a girl must have a reliable teacher who can teach her swordsmanship, is knowledgeable, and can continuously guide her on the road of life.

The "Merlin" mentioned in the words is naturally the girl's life mentor with superb swordsmanship and profound knowledge.

Let me briefly introduce Merlin again.

He is an unfathomable magician and an extremely mysterious prophet.It was he who predicted that the ignorant and ignorant girl would become the one who saved the King of Britain.

It is said that Merlin is not a pure human, but a hybrid of human and nightmare.

He maintains himself as a different kind, but he is particularly concerned about the future orientation of the human world. Currently, he is accompanying the student who is the future king as a guardian magician, traveling around the country with her, and constantly experiencing in the adventure.

After this description, listen, it is indeed very consistent with the "reliable" that the girl said, right——

No, wait, like she said... "most of the time"?

What about the few cases related to the night?

The innocent and innocent girl asked the teacher full of doubts about the strange behavior she saw occasionally.

In this regard, going on the road with the master and apprentice can be equated to watching the girl grow up. The boy who existed like a brother sighed quite maturely, and stopped the girl from continuing to explore very quickly.

"Merlin, although he's a squeeze maniac who wants to sneak into your dreams and continue lecturing during sleep time, but he occasionally goes to taverns or some kind of messy place..."

"Okay, Arturia, don't ask any more! The following content is the domain of adults that you can't touch yet—the domain of adult men!"

that is the truth.

If the magician Merlin were to tell it by himself, it would just add some extra supplements to the above content without hesitation.

"Well, although it's true that it's true that it's an outlier who uses human skin to cover itself, it's hard enough to discipline the lively Arturia every day, and the occasional leisure time I have, let me discover my little hobbies, shouldn't be too much, right? "

Nightmare doesn't need to rely on material to survive like human beings, it just needs to sneak into human's dreams and steal some pleasant dreams.

Therefore, it is easy for Merlin to feel bored and empty.

In order to make up for his emptiness in this area, he really discovered a few interesting hobbies——

like humans.

Specifically referring to the human race as a whole, if it weren't for "likes", he wouldn't have worked so hard to teach the future King of Britain.

Like to play tricks.

The reason is very simple, it is interesting.As a recent example, it was fun to take the risk of playing tricks on Kai, who was extraordinarily serious at a young age, and coaxing innocent Artoria into a miniskirt or something along the way.

The last point, which is also the most critical, is the hobby that made the precocious boy Kai avoid mentioning Arturia.

That is...

"Ah, the human world where sweet and soft girls exist is really wonderful!"

How superficial this is... No, it's a surprisingly common hobby.

With an extremely solemn appearance and a hearty smile like a spring breeze, the magician-sama loves beautiful, cute, and soft humans from the bottom of his heart.

To be more precise, what he likes are beautiful things, but that includes beautiful girls.

On this day, after climbing mountains and mountains for several days, the girl knight, the girl knight's young guard, and the girl knight's reliable magician teacher most of the time finally came to the long-lost town.

After finding a hotel, Artoria, who was tired all day, had already fallen asleep, and Kai, who stared at him with disgust, was also driven back to the room to sleep by the magician Merlin.

very good.

From now until dawn the next day, it is a good time for adults.

Lord Magician walked into a lively tavern openly, looking serious and refreshing, he mixed in among the drunks who smelled of alcohol, it seemed very abrupt.

However, this is the case at first, and it will not be obtrusive soon.

Holding a huge wine glass, he easily blended into the group of drunks chatting with red necks. The two brothers patted their shoulders and said a few words - within a few minutes, this group of people really Started to call each other brothers.

"Are there any thorny monsters that harass the town nearby? Yes, it's a magic dragon hiding on the other side of the mountain."

"Where is the best place to strike up a conversation with passionate beauties? Oh, brother, I can't see that you still have this hobby!"

"I like beauties...well, beauties..."

Wine is something that people love.

How it tastes is not very important, the important thing is that drinking to a certain level will generally cause a high spirit, ignore the strange atmosphere around, and greatly increase the courage.

Merlin was not drunk, let alone the fact that it was almost impossible for him to get drunk, the wine in his hand was basically just a display, he didn't like to drink, he just came here to get close.

However, the men who talked to him were drunk and their voices were loud without knowing it. They even forgot about the fact that they first walked into this tavern and felt the terrible pressure.

Merlin was hooked around the neck by the enthusiastic brother who was closest to him. The man lowered his voice and whispered in his ear mysteriously: "Beauty... look behind, isn't there one there?"

"Huh, there is one here? Will girls go to this place to drink at night?"

Although Merlin didn't believe that there would be beauties in this kind of tavern full of big men, he still turned his head curiously and looked in the direction the man pointed to him furtively.

"...Ah." Merlin paused for a while before saying, "Isn't that a man?"

"It's true that it's a man, but, can you tell, isn't that a beauty?"

"..."

There is really no way to refute.

The man who quietly gave him hints was still muttering further: "That man is a regular customer of this tavern. He comes very early every day, and then drinks in the corner all the time, and he doesn't leave until the next day."

"When I first found him, the other guests in the tavern were quite frightened, because the feeling... was a little hard to describe. Anyway, they didn't dare to approach him, and even the boss who brought him the wine didn't dare to talk to him."

"But it's okay, let him drink alone for a while, and he should be a little drunk at about this time. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't respond to our whispers here."

"In this way, there is indeed a very obvious feeling that strangers should not get close, just like..."

Merlin didn't reply in a low voice until this time.

I don't know why, but when the topic turned to the man in the corner, the noise in the tavern was reduced a lot, and the voices of their conversations also dropped down in unison.

This feeling is like——

It can be seen from a distance, but it cannot be picked...the flower of the high mountain.

Perhaps because he didn't pay attention for a while, Merlin accidentally expressed his inner thoughts.

When the man hooked on him heard this, he was first surprised by this extremely bold evaluation, and then, with the strength of drinking boldly, he patted his shoulder very vigorously:

"Yo, I really didn't expect you to say that. If you have the guts, just go straight to it. What's the matter with the man, I see you... Haha, isn't your heart already moved."

"Oh, it's too difficult, and this type, maybe it's a bit..."

Inexplicably.

Talking with such a smile on his mouth, he looked at the magician in a slightly dark corner. From the moment he saw the man, he never looked back.

Because of small personal hobbies, Merlin has struck up a conversation with many women, and because of this, some slightly tricky emotional entanglements have occurred... Well, I won't talk about it here.

All in all, he has always liked beautiful human women, and he has never set his eyes on men for a long time like now.

Even Merlin himself thinks that what he likes are girls who are soft and easy to manipulate, and he has no interest in hard male creatures.

but……

At this moment.

He seemed to be slapped in the face by the eagerness to move quietly in his heart.

Really—can't blame him for being weak-willed.

It's completely helpless, who let the "beauty" who suddenly appeared in the field of vision make him who thought he was not interested in men can't help but be moved.

In fact, if you only look at the appearance, there is not much comparison with a woman with a soft body. After all, the physiological structure of men and women is very different.

The man sitting in the corner was basically covered by a thick black cloak, which was tightly wrapped, so that it was impossible to tell whether he was tall or short, fat or thin.

But just the small part that was revealed was enough to catch the eye.

Silver hair leaked from the shoulders and slipped between the dark cloaks.His appearance can be called exquisite, and his skin is very fair, whiter than most girls.

Probably really a little drunk.

What Merlin saw from a distance was the man's side face, so, on that face that was made up of good-looking features, the man's pure golden pupils that were not mixed with any dark colors did not appear too sharp, but were softened imperceptibly by the alcohol. some.

His eyes were vaguely blurry, and his mind seemed to be neither on the wine nor in this complicated tavern.

Compared with the handsome profile, what really attracted Mei Lin was actually the aura surrounding the man.

Apart from the most intuitive impression of being deserted and not getting close to others, for Merlin, the most obvious is actually——

Can't see through.

Well.

Is it human...it should be.

Then how could it be, there is a clairvoyance that can see through everything as long as you pay attention, but you can't see any information about this man.

It's weird, shocking, unaccustomed, and...

It's like from inside to outside, from top to bottom, there is no place that doesn't tell him: This person is very, very mysterious, no, he is really, very, very curious, he can't help it, he must explore it.

then.

Under the admiring eyes of the crowd, the white-haired magician followed his inner desire, stood up, and walked towards that corner calmly.

It has to be said that Merlin's appearance is quite deceiving.

The big brother next door has fluffy long hair, a refreshing and good-looking smile - the impression left on all the people who meet for the first time, even if they can't directly get full favorability, at least their attitude can be more friendly.

He walked over, sat down beside the man, and said with a smile, "Good evening."

Turning his head, admiring the man's slightly soft face under the dim light, Merlin said familiarly: "Drinking alone is too lonely, just right, let's have a drink together, how about?"

As usual, he strikes up a conversation with a natural attitude. The magician's voice is as hearty as his appearance, and people can't help feeling good when they hear it.

However, the opening line, which has never failed in the past, seems to be working very slowly this time.

Mei Lingan waited for quite a while, staring at the man for a long time before getting a little response.

"Well."

At first, it was just a drunken nasal sound.

The man's hazy golden eyes became a little clearer, and he looked in the blink of an eye.

The shadow of Merlin had clearly entered his eyes, but the locked magician suddenly felt that he was still ignored, as if he was not seen by this man at all.

Even though, on his side, the man's lazy and slightly hoarse voice had already touched his heart, and he couldn't help but feel itchy.

"You, want to drink with me?"

"Yeah, what do you think?"

After waiting for a while, the man put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Okay," he said.

"I'm getting tired of drinking alone all the time."

……

……

At noon the next day, Kai, who was waiting on the street, finally saw the magician who had disappeared all night, and was about to ask him why he came back so late.

Unexpectedly, the countenance of a certain magician that directly caught his eyes at this time made the frowning young man suddenly change his face after being taken aback.

"It's really a happy person—no, it's really horrible, Merlin, have you finally been caught and beaten up by righteous people passing by for molesting a good woman? What a big blue eye...Pfft!"

The gloomy magician Merlin: "Shut up if you've had enough laughing, dear Kay."

The bruising that still remained on the eye sockets was purely forgotten by him - because he was really shocked and angry.Fortunately, he was a magician. He turned his face away for a second, and then turned back again, and he became the handsome, bright, white-haired big brother again.

About what happened last night (how Merlin, who is so cunning and never caught as a scumbag, capsized in the gutter), even if Kai was curious to death, Merlin would never tell him.

It has something to do with "the world of adults that children can't touch", but it's more——

"Stop! Stop! Don't let me recall it again! No, I have completely cleared my memory of what happened last night just now, and I will never stay in my mind for a second!"

Judging from the unusually intense reaction, Merlin must have capsized in the gutter, and there is no second possibility.

Kai is indeed very curious, but with his character, he is only curious based on the idea of ​​"I want to know how Merlin is unlucky", and he will not take the initiative to delve into it.

So, the young man who was very serious at a young age restrained his expression, and talked about the business:

"Artoria is gone."

This is a very serious business that needs attention—probably.

The object of their protection, the blond girl Artoria Pendragon, who was training as a king, disappeared without a trace!

but……

Merlin heard it, nodded calmly, and said, "When and where did you lose it?"

Kai also narrated very calmly: "On this street just now. Arturia found a thief and chased him before he stole—because there were too many people, she was too short and too fast to run. Quick, I'm lost. Above."

Merlin: "Oh, it doesn't matter, she will come back by herself when it's meal time. If she doesn't come back at noon meal time, then it's evening meal time."

Kay: "Well, I think so too."

This... don't worry at all!

Along the way, similar incidents have happened countless times, and they have long been accustomed to it.

The young girl who has not yet become a king is always full of enthusiasm, and has done at least hundreds of things to help each other when seeing injustice.He was just a mere thief, so he couldn't be the match of the girl knight.

So, after the meeting, the guard duo went to find a place to eat rather unscrupulously.

According to experience, Arturia will always find them in time when it is time to eat, as if the stupid hair on the top of the head has a function of finding people and navigating.

However, today, "experience" is invalid for the first time.

At lunch time, both Merlin and Kai finished their meal, but Artoria didn't show up.

Another afternoon passed, and it was time for dinner, but Artoria still didn't show up.

Until then, the duo who had no conscience should eat and eat was considered a little vigilant.

"I didn't come back so late. Could it be that she was kidnapped by bad guys with food on the road? Ah, if that's the case, Artoria will definitely not come back if she doesn't eat up all the food reserves of that poor man."

"It's not that exaggerated, how can she be so easy to deceive... No, it's still very possible."

"Well, then, after dinner, let's go look for her."

"Ok."

After the two of them finished their meal slowly, they went to the street to digest food as planned. Don't look for the lost Artoria.

I thought it would be easy to find someone, but when I got to the street, I realized that there were a lot of people blocking the street at night, and they were buried almost instantly.

"Oh, I almost forgot, today seems to be a small festival for the locals to celebrate the harvest... No way, let's find it hard in the crowd and around various food stalls."

Merlin and Kai searched separately and went in two different directions.

"Artoria—"

"Al~~ Toria——"

Shouting perfunctorily, Merlin looked for Artoria in the alleys where wild cats gathered, and also in the small shop where girls gathered. It can be said that he was quite serious.

In this way, after going through all kinds of hardships - no - after a hard search, the magician finally found Arturia in the center of the most crowded crowd.

It was exactly as expected, and the final location was a food stall.

Well, although it is selling bread, but this way of selling...

Before Merlin saw Arturia, he heard the discussion of the people in front.

What's going on ahead is an exciting arm-wrestling competition - as long as you can beat the stall owner in the arm-wrestling competition, you can take away freshly baked bread for free, and you can take as much as you want.Of course, if you lose, you must spend money to buy at least one piece of bread.

Very interesting rules.

The reason for the overcrowding at this time is that the owner of the stall is a girl who looks weak and weak. The arm looks like it can be easily broken off, and the temptation to take as much free bread as you want is quite strong. .

Upon hearing this, Merlin immediately understood who the "weak and weak" girl was referring to.

It was no surprise to him that Artoria did such a thing, and it was probably for good deeds.

He continued to squeeze forward, thinking of staring at the students who often don't know how to measure, as an observation.

However, when he was about to squeeze to the front, he heard the high-pitched judgment:

"The winner has been decided!!! The winner - Artoria! The exciting [-]st consecutive victory, this guest, thank you for your patronage! Thank you so much!"

Well, now he can see.

Sure enough, the weak girl sitting in front of the bakery, wrestling with a muscular man across the table, was a blond-haired green-eyed girl knight as pure as a lily.

Arturia sent off the unwilling challenger, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Merlin standing in the front.

She laughed in surprise, and waved to Merlin: "Mr. Merlin——"

Merlin just opened his mouth, ready to reply: "Have you played enough? It's almost time to—"

Let's go back to eat...

The latter half of the sentence came to an abrupt end before it was spoken.

It's still the same kind, like a sudden stop that almost choked to death on a certain discovery.

Merlin's unbelievable gaze rested on a certain man beside Arturia.

The man quickly noticed his gaze, raised his eyebrows, and twitched the corners of his mouth casually.

Obviously there is no special meaning, but Merlin can see the coldness from this subtle expression that does not show any emotion.

His eye circles began to ache.

"Artoria, pause first, come here and explain to me quietly..."

"That silver-haired dangerous guy—how did you get in with him?!"
