"Alright, you're safe now."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
As he spoke, Zhong Li took out his phone and checked the safety value of the chosen ones as marked in the company system.
They prepared to go and care for the other chosen ones.
But Sayuri and Eriri, upon hearing that Zhongli had saved them, stopped caring about them.
Driven by an instinct for survival, the mother and daughter simultaneously embraced Zhongli, sandwiching her between them.
“Zhongli, my daughter and I are not very familiar with the current situation and do not feel safe.”
"Can you not leave yet?"
Xiao Baihe hugged Zhongli tightly without any hesitation, her eyes brimming with tears, looking very pitiful.
Eriri also watched with tears in her eyes, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she spoke softly.
“Zhongli Jun, I… I can let you touch me however you want.”
"Just... just stay."
Zhongli, caught in the middle, felt the soft bodies of the mother and daughter.
After checking his phone and seeing that no one with good fortune had encountered any trouble, he nodded.
"Staying here is definitely not an option, but I can set up some defenses for you."
As he spoke, Zhongli took out two small shields.
The two small shields seemed to possess a spirit, automatically floating around Sayuri and Eriri.
"Alright, with two shields protecting us, we should be fine getting through today."
Even if Zhongli said that.
Sayuri and Eriri still clung tightly to Zhongli, like octopuses.
Compared to two palm-sized shields.
The mother and daughter believed even more strongly that Zhongli could kill both the Blue Demon and the Red Demon in one move.
Moreover, from Zhongli's words...
The mother and daughter also learned that today might be extremely special, with many extraordinary monsters appearing.
Sayuri and Eriri were even more afraid to let Zhongli leave.
Zhongli was also helpless about this.
Normally, he wouldn't mind if the Sawamura mother and daughter were close to him.
But he still has a mission today.
If I had known, he wouldn't have shown up; he could have just left two guns.
"Fine, if you want to keep hugging."
I'll take you all with me and continue the mission.
"I won't have the strength to protect you then."
Hearing this, Sayuri hesitated.
Encountering a paranormal event once is dangerous enough.
Now, having to specifically seek out paranormal phenomena is even more dangerous.
"Zhongli, can't you really stay and keep us company?"
Little Lily, this old lady, looked at Zhongli pitifully again, hoping to gain his sympathy.
Zhongli simply shook his head at this.
There was no other way; Sayuri had to let go.
Eriri, however, remained steadfast, holding on tightly.
“Zhongli Jun, I was serious when I said that.”
Zhong Li immediately rolled her eyes.
What's so special about Eriri's figure?
Back then in the club, it was just punishment for teasing you.
It would be more accurate to say that he would lay a hand on your mother, Little Lily.
In the end, Eriri still managed to pull Sayuri off.
Zhongli was thus able to escape.
Chapter 137 Artoria is on the verge of despair, and Mash is assassinated by Yoel.
After resolving the issues with the Sawamura family, the company's entry-level employees were tasked with handling the follow-up matters.
Zhongli then chose to leave, riding the demon coffin to patrol the heavens.
Fortunately, the chosen ones were secretly gathered by the company in the Tokyo area.
With him and the other five generals as caretakers, there weren't any major problems.
Of course, this is done while ensuring the safety of those destined for heaven.
Zhongli also suppressed some supernatural entities to earn quest points.
However, all supernatural phenomena progress from lower to higher levels.
No supernatural occurrences at the general level have been observed so far.
It's unclear whether they haven't been born yet, or if they've all been hidden away.
A high-rise apartment building.
Kitagawa Kaimu, who has moved out to live alone, is sprawled on the sofa.
Looking at Artoria, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, dressed in casual clothes and with a serious expression, he couldn't help but prop his chin up with his hand in curiosity.
"Lia, why are you standing by the window? Is something wrong?"
That's right, Artoria moved into Kitagawa Kaimu's house.
Near dusk, Kitagawa Kaimu became certain that Artoria was King Arthur from Fate.
He immediately took out the Fate manga he had brought to the comic convention from his small bag and showed it to Artoria.
This made Artoria realize that this was not her original world.
No, that's not right either. Perhaps her world itself is fake, and even she is fake.
She stepped out of the comic book for some peculiar reason.
This also explains her common sense about magic, and the reason why existing common sense about spiritual power clashes with it.
Upon learning all this, Artoria was utterly shocked.
He became completely despondent.
Her ideal of saving the country was false; it was given to her by someone called the God of War.
Even the Holy Grail she pursued in the original false world was fake and corrupted.
It's impossible to fulfill her wish.
Despite such repeated blows, the fact that she didn't completely despair was a testament to her strong will.
When Kitagawa Kaimu saw Artoria, she looked like she was about to collapse.
He felt a pang of pity and that's why he brought Artoria home.
Fortunately, after a short rest, Artoria's mood improved considerably.
She no longer looked devastated or heartbroken.
However, there is now one more goal.
We need to find the martial god who drew the Fate manga.
Why wasn't Britain given a good ending?
Why not let Britain live on?
It's a comic, why not draw a happy ending?
It's inevitable that everyone will face the end.
Even in the FGO 6th chapter of the Holy Camelot manga, she achieved perfection and mastered invincible power.
It also prevented Britain from continuing to exist.
Therefore, Artoria must find the God of War and get to the bottom of this.
This is also Artoria's only remaining motivational goal.
Kitagawa Kaimu could understand Artoria's feelings.
After all, all that effort has been in vain, and who can accept that?
It's fortunate that Kaimu Takagawa can understand the God of War series; if all the stories had happy endings, the Type-Moon series wouldn't have become a global phenomenon.
It's possible that without the global fires, Artoria might never have appeared in the world.
Upon hearing Kitagawa Kaimu's question, Artoria, who had been gazing out the window, spoke seriously.
"I sensed that battles were taking place all over the city."
It was even more intense than the Holy Grail War.
Within the range that I can sense, there are no fewer than ten battles.
Although the intensity varied, battles were frequent.
Even in the heavens, powerful auras frequently sweep across the sky.
Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Kaimu, who had been lounging lazily on the sofa, was startled and immediately sat up.
He quickly walked to Artoria's side, looking out the window with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
"Is it really Lia? I don't see her."
And do supernatural beings truly exist in our world?
Upon hearing this, Artoria glanced speechlessly at Kitagawa Kaimu.
As people of this world, we were unaware that there were extraordinary beings in the world.
Even if ordinary people cannot obtain extraordinary information, her manifestation itself is the best proof.
Although she was speechless, Artoria still explained.
"The battles that occurred were all suppressed to a small scale."
Moreover, one side was so powerful that the battle ended before any greater destruction could occur.
It's normal that I can't see it; I sense things using my aura.
Will the battle affect us?
Kitagawa Kaimu pressed for an answer again.
She was a little worried that the fighting would affect her safety.
After all, she's just an ordinary person, so it's normal for her to be scared.
Artoria responded firmly to Kitagawa Kaimu's concerns by placing a hand on her chest.
"Don't worry, Haimeng."
I swear in the name of King Arthur that you will be absolutely safe.
The first person to help her when she came into this world.
She, King Arthur, Artoria Pendragon, is determined to protect.
