【Emperor Weber II】The Voice of the Heart

"By the command spell, Iskandar the Conqueror must give priority to using my magic power in the Holy Grail War."

Grey watched her teacher raise her right hand, and said to the tall figure who had just appeared from the light, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and the voice of Reynice came from the side, telling her vaguely A vague voice.

"Hey, are you crazy?! Use the command spell on the servant you just summoned?"

As if the teacher didn't hear her words, a Command Seal flashed and disappeared from the back of his hand.He fixed his eyes on the servant in front of him, the determination in his eyes was completely different from his usual melancholy and desolate one.

Heroic Spirit originally had a calm smile on his face, but in the face of the sudden cast of the Command Seal, his smile gradually disappeared, and even became a little stern.

The teacher didn't flinch, and still calmly looked directly at the pupils of the followers, but Gray could see a slight tremor from his clenched hands.

"Conqueror King Iskandar has been summoned to appear, it seems that there is no need to confirm his identity, my master."

The servant said in a low voice.

The teacher's command spell appeared less than a month ago. For this reason, he has been dealing with various forces in the clock tower, and finally won this hot spot at the last moment.

They hastily booked air tickets to come to Fuyuki from London, and grandly lived in the well-connected mansion that Reinis bought in advance.Why use the word "mighty" to describe it?Because the teacher originally planned to bring Gray into the battle with light clothes, but under the half-deceived and half-forced by Reinice, he brought Sfin and Frante... Oh yes, if Trim is also counted as a person, this A total of six people lived in a house that was regarded as a "combat base".

Before leaving, Reinis returned the magic seal of the Velvet family that had been pledged back to her brother-in-law.

"It can be regarded as the reward for keeping your promise and waiting until I am an adult to participate in this strange ceremony, although there is no difference between whether you have it or not."

But she refused to take the title of monarch.

"Anyway, for a weak magician like my brother, participating in itself is no different from dying. What is the difference between inheriting after death and taking over now." Reinis said playfully, "Why don't you use this title to get as much limelight as possible? , and take some insignificant benefits."

Having known Reinis for many years and experienced many things together, even though she was naturally dull, Grey has roughly figured out her duplicity and complex character.She is worried about the safety of the teacher in her own way, and hopes that the weak brother can use all the resources he can use to win the survival after the war.Reinis was born in a family of magicians, she has a bad personality, and she seldom cares about others.It can make her express the worry that even she can see, which shows what kind of severe situation the teacher will face.

Reinis' worry made Gray also feel deeply uneasy, not because she was worried about her own safety in the battle.Although the teacher once said to her when he took her out of the cemetery, "she needs to accompany him to do things that may endanger his life, and he may be the only one who survives in the end".But from the understanding that he has been with the teacher for many years, Gray understands that his character is just the opposite. When danger comes, he will do his best to keep himself alive even if he sacrifices himself.

On the plane from London to Japan, Gray sat in the back seat and silently listened to the conversation between the teacher and Reynice.They can talk about the world of magic in the cabin without any scruples, because Reinis deliberately chose to keep the first-class cabin on the second floor of flight 747 despite the teacher's objection, and chartered the entire first-class cabin. Then the entire area was sealed off with an enchantment, and Trim replaced the flight attendant, so they could talk freely in the cabin.

"With your current status, I am afraid that you have become the target of public criticism before the war."

"nonsense……"

Reinis just hit the teacher's sore point, and it was also his "lucky theory" that he deeply hated. He concluded that the reason why he survived to the end in the previous Holy Grail War was not only the protection of the servants, but also because of the weak The unique "shame" luck made other participants subconsciously ignore him who had no sense of existence.This is exactly what he is most worried about. Now he is still the "weak person", but he has gained a reputation that does not match it, and he has naturally become the fish in everyone's eyes.

"and also……"

Reynis propped her chin up and turned her gaze to the window.

"You don't really plan to use your magic power to support Rider's battle, do you?"

Through the reflection of the porthole, Reinis saw her brother's body froze, and her gray-green pupils couldn't help but darken a bit.

"You know, the Heroic Spirit you summoned is just the incarnation of the body on his seat. Even if you summon the same Heroic Spirit again, he probably doesn't have the memory of being summoned before. You have to be mentally prepared for this."

"I see."

Of course, Reinis knows that her knowledgeable brother understands these basic knowledge, but knowing and believing are two different things. Her fragile and sensitive brother may not be willing to kill the expectations in her heart, even if there is only a one in ten thousand possibility, he Also willing to believe in hope.

I hope my words can go to his heart, Reinis sighed softly.

Gray looked at the tall man in front of him. He walked side by side with the teacher, but hardly communicated with each other along the way.

Is he really the heroic spirit that the teacher has longed for and has been searching for for nearly 20 years?

Sure enough, as Reinis said, the teacher's slim hope was still in vain. The distance between the other party and him was always maintained between the master and the servant. He only called the teacher "Master", and he didn't even call passed his name.

Although Gray has never seen how the teacher got along with this servant in the previous Holy Grail War.But it can be seen from the teacher's self-talk when he sees things and thinks about people, and the old things he occasionally tells himself, that they were once close.If not, this follower would not have become the obsession of the teacher's life.

The teacher escorted the servant into the room prepared for him, but Gray stopped at the door and did not follow.

She fell into her own emotions and seemed to be able to feel the teacher's regret.Just as she was in a daze, a gentle hand stroked the back of her head through the hood.

"teacher?"

She looked up and saw that the teacher had come out of the room and stood behind her.

"Let's go."

Gray nodded and followed the teacher's pace.However, the teacher did not return to his room, nor did he go to the temporary workshop to prepare the magic circle, but avoided other people and walked into the courtyard behind the house.Gray couldn't figure out what the teacher wanted to do, and couldn't find a reason to leave him, so he followed him all the way to the courtyard.

The teacher walked to the flower stand in the courtyard and sat down, then cut open a cigar and lit it slowly.

"You don't have to feel sad with me."

Gray blushed and lowered her head. She still couldn't hide her thoughts, and the teacher saw through her at a glance.

"Rider doesn't remember what happened in the last war. I'm also mentally prepared for this. After all, having memories is a small probability."

He continued, in fact, he didn't expect any response from his introverted disciple, it was enough for her to be by his side at this moment.

"It's also thanks to me meeting this man who doesn't remember me, so I finally figured out some doubts left over from the last war. It can be said that this time I met the real him. His attitude towards me now I'm afraid it's the original attitude towards a normal magician. The immature me... just used my weakness to deceive his tenderness..."

The teacher looked down at the empty cigar at his fingertips, and after lighting it, he only took a puff.Gray looked at his sad face, but her eyes were dry. In fact, she wanted to see the teacher cry bitterly at this moment.

"It's not like that..." she whispered, and she didn't know how to react otherwise.

"But my determination will not change because of his attitude towards me. He is still the king I have longed for all my life. I will do my best for him and help him fulfill his wish. This is my only wish in this life .”

The teacher raised his head and looked at Gray with a smile.Her teacher rarely smiled, but Gray's heart was pierced by his rare smile.

"Although I also expect him to pat my forehead and call me 'boy'. But what is the difference between me like that and ten years ago? Sentimentality should be in moderation, at least I seem to have grown up to those cold-blooded magic tricks that he hates The teacher's appearance, I hate it so much that I don't even ask my name...how unruly this is..."

He looked down at the engraved Command Seal disappearing from his hand.

"And this disgusting, eccentric magician dared to order him with command spells when we first met... He should be very annoyed to be summoned by such a person."

Gray knew that this was not an illusion of his own. After coming to Fuyuki, the teacher had indeed become more gentle than before, or began to reveal the gentleness that he had deliberately hidden.

"Let's go, we're about to start getting ready."

The teacher extinguished the half-lit cigar, got up and walked out of the flower stand.

After walking into the sunlight, Gray caught a gaze keenly, and subconsciously raised her head to look at the source of the gaze. A red figure flashed past the window on the second floor and disappeared into the darkness of the room.

Gray is not sure if this is her own illusion, she is naturally more sensitive to spirits than ordinary people.Perhaps Yingling's attitude towards the teacher is not what the teacher thought, she had a faint feeling like this.

Looking at the empty window, Gray really hoped that at least this time, her dull feeling was real.

TBC.
