I don't want to be a heroic spirit

"Anything else?"

Being stared at by those gilded eyes, Itsuka Shido said without thinking: "Would you like to... come to my house? Have a meal or something?"

"Well... this is probably the first time we've met, right?"

Melyuchina tilted her head. "Is it really okay to invite a strange girl into your home?"

"...Same."

Itsuka Shido wanted to slap himself...

"You amoeba! Siberian cockroach! Can you please use your brain before you speak?"

Covering her earphones, Gokawa Kotori said with a hint of disappointment, "What man would invite a girl he just met for the first time to his house? Do you want to be thought of as a pervert stalking underage girls? Now, the other person's favorability rating must have dropped... eh?"

Kotori Itsuka looked up at the big screen and then fell into a daze.

"...Hey! Kawagoe! Did that favorability level remain unchanged from the beginning to the end?"

"what?"

Kawagoe Kyoji was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called out, but he immediately responded: "Yes, ever since Gokawa Shido encountered the elves, the favorability bar has never been there... Eh? Why?"

Fraxinus has instruments that can detect the emotions and favorability of elves. Itsuka Kotori and others rely on these instruments to provide remote support to Itsuka Shido, and detect the changes in the emotions and favorability of elves during the date at any time.

After all, only when the favorability towards Shido Itsuka reaches a certain level can the spiritual power be sealed.

Generally speaking, when elves first meet Shido Gokawa, they are in a state of "vigilance" and "distrust", and their favorability needs to be slowly increased.

but……

“Why is it so high?”

This is what surprised Kotori Itsuka and Kawagoe Kyoji.

Although it has not reached the level where it can be sealed, the instrument shows that the newly appeared elf has a "slight liking" for Shido Itsuka, which is a little short of "trust".

Before, they subconsciously ignored it because the favorability bar had not changed... Does that mean that the other party already had such a high favorability when he first came into contact with Shido Gokawa?

Kotori Itsuka and others were puzzled.

In fact, Melyuchina...or [His Phoenix Feather] has a very high opinion of Shido Itsuka.

In her eyes, the male protagonist who is most suitable for having a harem is Kamijou Touma, and the ones following Kamijou are Gokawa Shido and Hyoudou Issei... After all, these male protagonists are really good when it comes to things.

It's just that Hyoudou Issei is quite hot, but he's too lustful... He keeps saying "breasts" all day long, which makes him lose a lot of points in the heart of [Hibyou Fenghuangyu], so she still likes Mr. Kiri more than Hyoudou Issei.

She still trusts Shido Gokawa very much because she knows that he will never harm her. The reason why the instrument shows that it is a little short of "trust" is mainly because she does not trust Ratatoskr behind Shido Gokawa.

If it was the later period of Gokawa Shido, it would be different. The later period of Gokawa Shido had his own opinions and was decisive, but now he would still act according to the instructions of Fraxinus... Simply put, he is not mature enough.

"Do you want to go home? How about I give you a ride?"

Itsuka Shido spoke again, "After all... we can't let a girl go back alone, right? It's too dangerous."

"If we encounter an incident that even I consider dangerous, your presence will be of no use, right?"

Melyuchina thought so in her heart.

"...Okay, if you want to follow me, that's fine."

After saying that, without caring whether Shido Itsuka would follow her or not, Melusina turned and left. Her unexpected decisiveness made Shido Itsuka slightly stunned.

Until I heard my sister's voice calling from the headphones.

"What are you still standing there for, Shidou? Hurry up and follow them!"

"Oh oh oh!"

After stumbling a bit, Shido Itsuka chased after Melusina.

Chapter 483: Just getting used to it.

Itsuka Shido is panicking now...

Although I have the opportunity to be with him, but...what should I do next?

In order to capture elves, Shido Itsuka was forced by Kotori Itsuka and others to undergo various trainings, mainly to make him accustomed to normal communication with girls without feeling nervous.

The problem is... if we can't even have a conversation, then all the training we've done before won't work at all...

Come to think of it... I was so nervous earlier that I said some thoughtless things... Maybe I left a bad impression on the other person...

"Shidou! Shidou!"

The voice of Kotori Itsuka coming from the headphones made Shido Itsuka perk up a little.

"What's wrong? Kotori."

"I found something here, and I thought I should tell you..."

There was hesitation in Gogogawa Kotori's tone.

What Kotori Gokawa wanted to tell Shido Gokawa was the abnormal level of favorability.

Just now, they carefully checked the instrument. After ruling out the possibility of a problem with the instrument, they could only trust the test results and informed Shido Gokawa of the results.

After hearing this, Shido Itsuka also showed a surprised expression.

"that……"

Melusina turned her head to look at Shido Itsuka and saw that Shido was scratching his head in embarrassment.

"Your name... is Lancelot?"

"Yes."

"...That's not your real name, is it?"

Faced with this question, Melyuzina paused.

Under the cover of night, Melyuchina tilted her head and looked deeply at Gokawa Shido with her golden eyes that looked like burning flames.

Looking directly into those eyes, Gokawa Shido's throat moved slightly and he spoke nervously.

"Because... Lancelot is the name of the knight in Arthurian legend, right?"

This world also has various mythological stories such as the legend of King Arthur and Norse mythology.

DEM has tactical display devices named "Pendragon" and "Mordred", and the name "Ratatoskr" comes from the squirrel living on the world tree in Norse mythology who is best at sowing discord.

"However, this world doesn't have the concept of the Kabbalah Tree of Life..."

Melyuchina thought in her heart and answered Gokawa Shido's question.

"You are correct. My name does come from the Knight of the Lake... and, as you said, Lancelot is not my real name."

"However, if we are only concerned with the name, the name Lancelot is sufficient. I do not intend to use any other name for the time being."

Melyuchina was a little perfunctory, as if she didn't intend to say much more about this.

"But...names are important, right?"

When saying this, Shido Itsuka thought of Tohka Yatogami at home.

The name "Tohka" was given to her by Shido Itsuka. Until now, Shido Itsuka still remembers the expression and reaction that Yatogami Tohka showed when she got this name.

In the classroom dyed red by the sunset, the girl with a name kept murmuring her own name and kept asking him to teach her how to write her name, just like a person who had lost his eyes since birth opened his eyes one day and saw the colorful world for the first time.

"Because... it was a precious gift given to me by an important person."

With his eyelids slightly lowered, it seemed as if Shido Itsuka's words were spoken to him, so when he came to his senses, his face felt a little hot.

"…Sorry for talking so much on my own."

"I don't mind. After all, I deeply agree with what you said."

Melyusina shook her head calmly. "However, I cannot reveal my true name to anyone... The name 'Lancelot' is actually a constraint for me. When I abandon it and take up my true name again, my life will enter a countdown. Conversely, my output will be completely liberated."

Itsuka Shido saw seriousness in Melyuchina's eyes.

So, the other party is not joking.

The moment your true name is revealed, death is imminent... This kind of thing...

"You don't need to make that expression."

A finger poked Gokawa Shido's chest, and Melyuchina's calm voice shook the air.

"As long as I don't encounter a particularly powerful enemy, I will not abandon the name 'Lancelot'. Then, the thing you worry about will not happen."

"Even though I'm restrained, I'm still the strongest. After all... I'm the only dragon in the world. Isn't it natural for me to be powerful?"

Under Shido Itsuka's wooden gaze, Melusina put down her hand, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke again.

"If you encounter any danger in the future, you can ask me for help, and I will come to help you."

After all, he is a rare male protagonist that Melyuchina does not have much resentment towards. If it is within the scope of her ability, she does not mind helping him.

"No matter what kind of danger you are in, you can always ask me for help, because I am very strong."

After a moment of silence, Gokawa Shido opened his mouth.

"……Why?"

"Ok?"

"Why would you say such a thing to me?"

Itsuka Shido's eyes were filled with confusion, "Have we... met before?"

"Um……"

This question was asked to Melyuchina.

"If we've met... I guess we've met before."

Melyuchina tilted her head. "But this is definitely the first time we've had a conversation like this."

Even if there's a dimensional wall between us, it still counts as having seen each other, right?

"Then... why..."

"No reason, right?"

Melyuchina glanced at Itsuka Shido and smiled slightly. "Isn't it normal to lend a hand to those in need? Of course, if it's someone you don't have a good relationship with, then forget it. But I think you're the type who will be in danger and in great need of help."

"Ah...this..."

It's hard for Shido Gokawa to refute... After all, if he didn't possess the Healing Flame, he would have died on the day of his date with Tohka.

At this time, Gokawa Shido saw someone waving at him from a distance.

"Oh! Lancelot, it really is you!"

"Mrs. Hayasaka, why aren't you going home so late?"

Then, Melyuchina started talking with Mrs. Hayasaka who suddenly appeared, and Shido Gokawa was left aside as if he had been forgotten.

Kotori Itsuka and the others tried to get some information from the conversation between the two, but all they heard was some gossip about family matters.

"Could this boy be the Sinmel you mentioned, Lancelot?"

Mrs. Hayasaka looked at Itsuka Shido and chuckled, "He's quite handsome... but I still think Lancelot is more suitable for you."

"No, why do you know about Xin Meier...ah, Aunt Kondo?"

Melyuchina's eyes were blank for a moment, but she quickly reacted and sighed tiredly, "I really shouldn't have said too much to Aunt Kondo... Also, I should have said that Xinmeier already has someone he loves, and he probably won't marry anyone else in this life."

The name "Sinmer" attracted the attention of the people of Fraxinus because they felt that it was an important channel to understand the elf who called himself "Lancelot".

However, they were doomed to return empty-handed, but Melyusina had no obligation to remind them... and even if she did, they might not believe her.

Shido Gokawa's focus is somewhat different from that of Kotori Gokawa and the others.

Listening to the conversation between Melyuchina and Mrs. Hayasaka, Gokawa Shido felt more...

"Bravo……"

During the conversation between the two, Shido Gokawa heard at least eight different names, and according to Mrs. Hayasaka, these people seemed to like Lancelot very much and had all been helped by Lancelot.

Among them, Shido Itsuka also heard one or two familiar names... Shido Itsuka had met and talked with them when he was buying vegetables in the nearby shopping street.

"Kotori said that Lancelot's first record was more than half a month ago. Does that mean that it only took Lancelot half a month to gain so much popularity and love?"
