I don't want to be a heroic spirit

During this time, Melyusina's expression remained unchanged. In fact, before visiting the aquarium, they had been to several places, but those places did not seem to attract Melyusina's attention.

"Lancelot, do you... hate hanging out with me this time?"

Seeing Melyuchina looking over, Shido Itsuka scratched his head awkwardly and said sheepishly.

"Ah... Sorry, that's a stupid question. You were only willing to come here because of the conditions we negotiated before. How could I not hate you..."

"I don't know why you think this way, but I actually care about this event."

Melyuchina turned her head to gaze at the aquatic creatures outside the glass and said calmly, "Actually... I've always wanted to give Master the best date in the world... But I've never known what kind of date would satisfy Master. I don't even know what a 'date' is."

"This time, I'm actually here for the purpose of learning... I want to understand how humans complete the activity called 'dating'. I want to know why lovers like 'dating'."

"...Why do you have to think about such complicated things?"

Itsuka Shido looked at Melyuchina and said in confusion, "Isn't it the best date when both parties have fun together?"

"I am definitely happy... As long as I can be with Master, no matter where I am, whether it's a date or not, I will be filled with joy and happiness."

Melyuchina lowered her eyes slightly, "But... I don't know if Master will be happy... I want to share the joy in my heart with Master, and want Master to be as happy as I am."

"It sounds like you really value the Master, Lancelot."

"Of course, if I have to choose between this planet and the Master, I will definitely choose the Master. If anything happens to the Master, I will surely destroy myself after turning the surface of this planet into a burning scorched earth."

"..."

So heavy...

At the same time, Shido Gokawa felt a strong sense of frustration in his heart.

"Kotori even said that I should replace that Master and become the most important person in Lancelot's heart... Is that really possible?"

It feels like there's little hope...

Passing through the tunnel, the two saw a dolphin show not far away, so they went over.

Although there was live interaction, for some reason, the dolphins seemed unwilling to approach the two of them.

"These dolphins are quite intelligent creatures... They sensed the dragon's aura on me, so they were afraid to come near."

Listening to these words, Shido Itsuka recalled that Melyuchina often called herself "Dragon Spirit (Fairy)" or "Dragon".

"Dragon Spirit... Could it be related to Tohka's 'Sword Spirit' and Kurumi's 'Time Spirit'?"

He couldn't help but think.

"Tohka is a sword spirit because her angel, Aosha-Kou, is a giant sword, and Kurumi's ability is related to time... In other words, is Lancelot's ability related to angels and dragons?"

The two people who came out of the aquarium stopped when they passed a bookstore.

"Shidou, can I go to that bookstore and take a look?"

"Of course you can. Lancelot, is there any book you would like to read?"

It was rare that Melyuchina clearly expressed her desire, so of course Shido Itsuka agreed.

"I still have many doubts about the concept of 'dating'... Perhaps I can learn more from those comics and novels."

"Hmm...that makes sense."

Itsuka Shido pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, do you want me to lend you some of the Galgames at home?"

"Hmm...it seems like a good way to find out."

The main reason why Melyuchina asked for Shido Itsuka's opinion was because... she didn't have much money.

Anyway, the Ratatoskrs are a wealthy family, and she won't be able to get much wool from them even if she tries her best.

Hmm...if she goes to shoot down Fraxinus, even Ratatoskr will surely be heartbroken to tears, right?

Come to think of it...it seems like she hasn't bought novels or comics for hundreds of years?

This seemed absurd to me when I was still a otaku... Living for hundreds of years and not reading novels or comics were both absurd.

After buying two crepes, Shido Itsuka and Melyuchina sat by the fountain and started eating.

Because Melyuchina only shows obvious emotional fluctuations when talking about her Master, Shido Itsuka has a strong curiosity about the Master who has only heard of his name but never seen him.

"Come to think of it, Lancelot, since you value your Master's words so much, why don't you stay with her? You must really want to be with her, right?"

"Of course, if possible, I would like to watch Master 24 hours a day. If I can't see Master for even a second, I will be so uncomfortable that I want to blow up the earth."

"...Don't blow up the Earth over such a small matter. Mother Earth will cry."

As expected, there are always people in this world who want to destroy the earth for some inexplicable reasons... Let us once again observe three seconds of silence for Mother Earth.

"Don't worry, I won't do that. It would be very difficult for Master if I really destroyed the Earth."

"That's right, your Master will be in a difficult situation."

Shido Itsuka decided to continue speaking along the lines of Melusina... He couldn't really let Melusina blow up the earth, could he?

However, what puzzled him was...why didn't Melyuchina go find his Master?

"So, where is your Master?"

"You ask where..."

Under Shido Itsuka's gaze, Melyuchina patted her chest.

“It’s right here.”

"……what?"

Confusion and bewilderment emerged from Shido Itsuka's eyes.

Melyuchina said lightly after taking another bite of the crepe in her hand and feeling the sweetness spreading in her mouth.

"...I don't mind telling you, but...let's be honest. You can't just let me answer your questions while you keep hiding the truth from me, right?"

Shido Gokawa felt that there was nothing wrong with what Melyusina said. During the time they spent together, although she couldn't answer every question, Melyusina had answered most of the questions they asked.

Although some answers have led to deeper doubts... it is not good to always have one-sided questions and answers.

"...Then, Lancelot, is there anything you want to know?"

Melusina quickly ate the crepe in her hand and looked directly into Shido Itsuka's eyes with her golden eyes.

"Then please tell me why you are so obsessed with dating me."

Itsuka Shido widened his eyes slightly.

Melyuchina continued, "I can see that you're not seeking a romantic relationship with me, but rather other motives. I hope you can reveal your true purpose... Please don't lie. Although I don't understand human emotions, I can still distinguish truth from lies, especially in a face-to-face situation like this."

Facing Melyuchina's tone with a hint of pressure, Gokawa Shido looked embarrassed.

"However, although I don't know your true purpose... I think it must be related to sealing spiritual power, right? After all, I followed you to your house before, and Tohka and the others should be spirits, right? And you sealed their spiritual power. Is this related to your purpose?"

Although Melyuzina knew a lot, she didn't want to reveal that she knew the plot.

"Knowing too much" and "having the possibility of harming Shido Gokawa" will both make Mio's mother target you.

Melusina is not an elf created by Mio's mother. The reason why Mio's mother has not attacked her until now is, on the one hand, because Melusina has been helping others since her debut and has a high degree of goodwill towards humans. On the other hand, it is because Melusina has a good impression of Shido Gokawa that is close to "trust".

Although I don't know why Melyuchina has such a high favorability towards Shido Itsuka, this is a good thing for Mio's mother. With such a powerful spirit by Shido Itsuka's side, Shido Itsuka's safety is also guaranteed.

Of course, it is impossible to completely trust and completely let down one's guard, and one still has a certain degree of wariness towards Melyukina Mio's mother.

What made Gokawa Shido panic was that Melusina almost guessed their true purpose.

He didn't know whether he could confess to Melyusina, and he couldn't contact Fraxinus. Before they met, Kotori Itsuka said that all the changes would be left to Shido Itsuka to decide.

It's up to you to decide...

Ok……

"Okay! I confess!"

Perhaps it was because of his trust in Melyuchina, perhaps it was because Melyuchina had always been frank, perhaps it was because Melyuchina was only one step away from the truth, or perhaps it was because he felt guilty towards Melyuchina... Shido Itsuka told the truth.

"Simply put, your goal is to seal the spirit power of the elves, allowing them to live freely in this world as ordinary people, without having to worry about their power harming the world or others."

Although she already knew the whole truth, Melyusina still pretended to hear it for the first time. "However, there is a condition for sealing the spirit's spiritual power. That is, the spirit's favorability towards you must reach a certain level, correct?"

"Yes, Lancelot, you should understand, right?"

Itsuka Shido looked directly into Melusina's eyes with a serious look. "As long as you become an ordinary girl, you won't have to worry about hurting others again... By the way, you've met Tohka and the others, right? Then you can live with them, and we will protect you."

"I see... Is this your purpose..."

Melyuchina slowly lowered her eyes, and her voice, as sweet as an oriole's, gradually became deeper, as if she was hiding some heavy emotions.

"Lancelot..."

Keenly sensing a change in the atmosphere, Shido Itsuka's whole body stiffened slightly.

"So, Shidou..."

Melusina slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of golden pupils with a majestic power, like the scorching sun in the sky.

"You... want to kill me?"

My breath stopped and my mind went blank.

It was not just because of the fear that seemed to come from deep in his blood, but also because of the other party's words that resounded in his mind like thunder.

Teeth chattering, limbs cold.

"No... I don't think so..."

The pressure came suddenly and went away quickly.

When Melusina closed her eyes, the pressure that almost crushed Shido Itsuka disappeared.

"I know you have no intention of killing me... Perhaps you think sealing my spiritual power is for my own good."

With her eyes slightly lowered, Melyuchina's tone became complicated and low.

"But what you are about to do is no different from killing me."

489

Chapter 489 Do you understand the value of the Origami Master?

In those golden eyes that reminded one of the afternoon sun, there were ripples of pain that made one feel distressed.

Melusina opened her red lips and spoke slowly.

"In fact, I died a long, long time ago... My body decayed, and my soul disintegrated, like a meteor streaking across the sky, burning up before hitting the earth."

"At that time, it was Her Majesty Morgan who saved me... She bestowed upon me the name Lancelot and used her spiritual foundation to stabilize my condition, allowing me to continue living as the 'Dragon Fairy'."

On Flaxinus, although Kotori Itsuka and others were unable to contact Shido Itsuka, they were watching the entire process of Shido Itsuka and Melyusina getting along, and Melyusina's confession was also recorded by them.

"Spirit base... could it be the spirit crystal?"

Holding a Chupa Chups lollipop in her mouth, Kotori Itsuka crossed her arms over her chest, her mind racing.

"Could it be that... the Monarch Morgan that Lancelot mentioned is the guy who turned me into an elf five years ago? Then wouldn't that Master be the wife of that being?"

Five years ago, Gokawa Kotori was turned into an elf by some being, causing a fire in Tengu City.

On that day, Origami Tobiichi lost her parents.

On that day, Kotori Itsuka learned that Shido Itsuka possessed the special ability to seal the spiritual power of spirits.

In the corner, a woman had a solemn expression on her face, and her eyes were filled with complex and incomprehensible colors.

In Tiangong City Commercial Street, Melyuchina's confession continues.

"Your Majesty Morgan has been kind to me, so I wish to repay your kindness with this sword... If you seal my power, I will return to my pre-spiritual state. My soul will dissipate like floating light, and my body will become a lifeless mass of flesh."

“…I’m sorry…I didn’t know…”

An expression of disbelief appeared on Shido Itsuka's face.

Sealing the opponent's spiritual power is equivalent to taking his life...

He clearly just wanted the other person to be happy...why did it turn out like this?

Melyuzina said so much, but in fact, these were just her one-sided words and there was no evidence to support them.

However, whether it was Shido Gokawa, Kotori Gokawa, or anyone else on Fraxinus, they all believed Melyusina's words at this moment.

Just because... when Melyuzina said those words, the sad expression on her face and the painful tone in her voice could not be faked.
