[FGO] Stone is a bad civilization

I was awakened by a rapid "dididi" sound.

When I just woke up, my brain was still in the ups and downs of chaos, and I could only vaguely judge that it seemed to be the notification sound of the communicator.The subconscious mind slowly ordered my right hand to touch my pocket, but unexpectedly it was empty. After a shock, I was completely awakened by fear.

It wasn't until I fully opened my eyes, aligned the focus, and jumped off the bed that I realized that the communicator hadn't been lost. It was only because my coat was taken off and used as a quilt to cover me Items that were originally in the right hand pocket were swapped to the left side.

My left arm is still bound in a crude splint, but fortunately I don't need two hands to answer the phone.I pulled my coat and took out the communicator deep in my pocket, and managed to connect to the super long-distance call from Chaldea before the automatic hangup time limit preset by the instrument.

"Romani?"

"It's me, Xuejian. You...your voice sounds muffled, what's wrong?"

"I was sleeping just now..." I sniffed and said listlessly, "I'm also a little seasick."

"Ah, seasick? I know. The singularity's boat should be very simple, and the sea wind is also very strong, so the shaking will definitely be severe..." Romani didn't seem to feel any surprise at all, and said very calmly, "Before I I just thought of this situation, so I stuffed a box of special motion sickness medicine in your backup supplies. If you still feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine, I will also prepare a box of candied fruit for you. How much you eat can relieve your symptoms. "

"Hmm... what candied fruit?"

"Plums!" Romani's voice suddenly became more lively when he mentioned sweets, and he chattered and introduced to me, "I tasted it when I was traveling in Japan before, and it is said that it is a unique sweet in the East! Why? Speaking of which, it is not as sweet and greasy as the preserved fruit pickled in honey, and the flesh also has a hint of sour and salty taste, and it is simply delicious when paired with seaweed and ochazuke!"

The feeling of being suddenly awakened from sleep is very uncomfortable, and the clothes next to the body are wet with cold sweat, sticking to the skin sticky.I scratched my messy bangs, feeling restless in my heart, and my tone naturally became a little bad.

"Oh, but I stayed in Japan for two years, and what I hate the most is their dried plums...it looks so disgusting."

"Is this..."

After being splashed with cold water, Romani's tone of voice suddenly became a little embarrassing.

"I'm sorry, I won't prepare this next time." He said to me with some flattery.

Listening to the other party's words and cautious attitude, I can almost imagine him sitting in front of the operating table, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and tossing his hair a little helplessly.

I sighed silently, and suddenly regretted my impulse just now.

"No, I still want to thank you for the medicine."

In the bottom of my heart, I calmed down my irritable temper due to seasickness, and eased the cold and hard voice.

"Because I just woke up, my tone is a bit rushed..."

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay, you're always angry about getting up, I can understand."

He seemed to have forgiven my bad temper before, and his tone returned to the usual relaxed mode when he spoke again: "Is it about medicine... I am the temporary person in charge now, backup support is my job. "

It seems that the other party didn't seem to take what I said that was obviously tearing things down just now to heart. I breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pulled the topic away with some guilt, and transferred it to the other party.

"Really? Then I think Romani is really thoughtful. Not to mention the preparation of medicine, even the rare candied fruit in Chaldea survives..." I put the communicator on the bed, crossed my legs, Supporting his head with one hand, he deliberately prolonged his voice, and lazily joked with the other party, "If I were a girl, I would have fallen in love with you a long time ago."

In normal times, when I tease Romani with this question of likes and dislikes, the 30-year-old single person will definitely jump shyly at the first moment.As the so-called three daily things-eating, sleeping, and beating beans, if this is placed in Chaldea, it will become eating, sleeping, and bullying Romani.

Although I consider myself an intellectual with advanced interests, it is a very interesting life adjustment to make fun of each other within the bottom line from time to time.I originally thought that this time Romani would stagger back to this remark as usual, but to my surprise, the other party not only did not feel embarrassed, but even asked me a very resentful question.

"Why do you assume that you are a girl... Do you hate me now?"

I:"……"

"No," I was choked for a few seconds by the other party's completely unreasonable questioning, and after a long moment of stunned, I answered him bluntly, "I don't hate you."

"Oh," the other party responded blankly, paused, and then asked, "What do you like?"

Why are you asking me this question?

I bit the bullet and replied, "As a colleague, I quite like you."

The other party was silent.

Facing the sudden silence on the other side, I began to reflect on whether my previous speech was too out of line.

"that……"

"how to say……"

"..."

"..."

"You go ahead..." For some reason, Romani's voice sounded sleepy, and the ending was so low that it seemed to be dissipated in the air.

I was suddenly a little nervous about the sudden change of the other party, so I quickly swallowed the question I wanted to ask, and asked instead: "What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing..." Romani's voice was still lifeless, "I thought you would at least say 'as a friend', but it turned out to be just a colleague..."

This, what is this reason?I suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.Why did the opponent, a 1.8-meter man, suddenly feel lost because of such a small detail?How lonely is this person in his heart, that he has to worry about even a small address.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little distressed.

The bed beneath him was still swaying irregularly with the fluctuations of the waves, and the sound of the wooden boards squeezing after a sleepless night, not only did he not have the slightest intention to stop, but intensified instead.

The symptoms of seasickness still exist, and the mixed smell of the cabin is still tormenting my fragile perception.

I took the communicator back into my hands and lay down on my back to reduce the dizziness caused by the shaking of the ship.

"Okay, okay," I comforted the other party repeatedly, "I don't treat you as a friend, but now I don't see you face to face, I'm in a working state, so I... I haven't changed my role yet, you know? You Don't take it to heart."

"I didn't," Romani said, and I guess he shook his head slowly at this moment.

"I just think that you may still be subconscious..." He paused, and said in a difficult voice, "drawing a line."

"……What does it mean?"

Romani's answer was so strange that I couldn't figure it out.

"Before..." he said slowly, "About two hours ago, I sent you a communication request. At that time, it was King David who answered the call."

"And then?" I was still a little confused, "Did he say something to you?"

Romani gave an "um" with his nose, and his tone was a bit heavy.

"He said, you have been hiding something very important from us."

"I didn't!" I blurted out in denial.

"Why do you believe him or not me? I have clearly made an appointment with you before..."

"...Is that really the case?" Romani asked suspiciously.

I was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a guilty conscience: "Absolutely not!"

"Really?"

"It's more true than I hate prunes and love Romani!"

The other party was silent for a moment, and then suddenly became violent.

"You, you, you, you..." He yelled on the verge of collapse, "Do you even know what you're talking about! Such words, such..."

"The communication is released by the entire control room, see you!"

I pondered for a moment, and pointed out very relentlessly: "But you are the only one here, Romani."

"Ugh..."

As a result, until Romani unilaterally hung up the communication in embarrassment, I didn't know why the other party made a special call.

According to his instructions, I found a box of special medicine from the backup resources, swallowed it whole, and lay on the hard bed for a while, until it was midday, when David who came to check the situation called me up.

"You can really sleep." He looked at me helplessly, reached out and touched my forehead.

"Ah, there is no fever, and the situation is not bad."

I gave him a strange look: "I'm just seasick, why do I have a cold and a fever."

David held his shepherd's staff between his hands, and spread his hands towards me: "Because you've been sweating, and you didn't sleep well, so I can only stay by your side and play the piano all the time."

"Really?" I touched the place where the other party brushed just now, "I think I slept peacefully?"

"Well, it's fine if you feel safe." David shrugged indifferently, "You're seasick, do you feel better? The magician also told me that he prepared a special medicine for you, which is in the treasure of the king. .”

When Romani is mentioned, I don't get angry at all.

"That's why—" I said angrily, "It's fine for you to answer Chaldea's communication without permission, and what kind of nonsense did you talk to Romani? Isn't that part of our transaction?"

"Did I say anything?" David said with an innocent face, "I didn't tell him what tricks you did behind their backs."

"...Isn't 'informing' itself a breach of contract?"

Oh, it seems that it really doesn't count.

Seeing my sudden silence, with an aggrieved expression on my face, King David smiled happily.

He patted my head and said, "Now there are seabirds outside, why don't you go and see them?"

"Blowing the sea breeze can also relieve seasickness! Hey, that magician is really talkative, so I mentioned to him, master, that you fell asleep because of seasickness, and he dragged me to order a bunch of this and that. Things like lying on the bed must be covered with something to prevent catching a cold, even if it is uncomfortable, you have to supervise him to eat three meals a day on time..."

David complained like this, but the expression on his face was very relaxed, and there was no trace of impatience.

"Eh?" I spit out a word in a daze.

"In short, let me take good care of you," David said with a smile, "I have bargained with him for a long time. After all, I don't play for others casually."

Romani and David haggling?I slandered, with his soft personality, wouldn't he be cheated by the other party so that he couldn't even find his home? !

How much did I worry him!
