Chapter 40 The Way of the Knight
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I screamed in horror and stood up, looking around blankly with my eyes open. ()()
The faint starlight shone through the closed door crack and cast a cold shadow on the floor. The familiar scene finally made me sigh and glad that I had returned to the real world.
At this time, a gentle hand stroked my cold sweaty forehead.
"Shirou, you have a nightmare."
I turned my head in shock, and the blue girl who was supposed to be resting in the bed was looking at me with concern.
"Ah... it's Saber, are you awake?"
In the faint night, you can still see the abnormal paleness on Saber's face. The girl changed into the blue clothes she wore after learning about the armor, wearing an ordinary white shirt and a blue skirt. Her petite and cute look was a little weaker.
I can't remember the other party as a warrior holding a sword, and I can't remember her other identity.
"Fortunately, Shirou provided me with magic, so I could wake up earlier. I thought Shirou was in danger again, so I came to you right away. () Shirou is fine."
Saber's holy green pupils looked at me gently, and a reassuring smile came from the bottom of his heart.
I am very happy that I have always cared about my safety, which makes me feel ashamed that I always need the protection of saber. I also feel sorry for my saber to care for me and even don’t care about myself.
"Then Saber, let's go back and rest well, don't have to be with me here."
"Shiro has not experienced much in his life in his life, so he looks very painful in his dream. Although I don't know how to enlighten him, at least I can still do it with Shiro next to me."
Yes, I had a nightmare just now, so she stayed by my side with worry.
I covered my forehead, remembered the content of the nightmare just now, and said distressedly:
"Saber, I just dreamed that I killed someone... I felt scary."
"That's right, but I believe Shirou. Although he was trapped in an endless battle, Shirou insisted on not killing anyone, right?"
Saber asked, not sure that he could understand my troubles. () (Baidu search:, the fastest update to read novels)
"But during the day today... I almost killed my friend. At that time, I really made up my mind to kill someone."
"Aren't Shirou trying to save the people in the school at that time? If Shirou's friends did not surrender, there was only this way to save them."
"But then I can't save Shinji, so I have to act as the executioner who killed him. No matter what reason I use to execute it, the fact that kills Shinji cannot be changed, right?"
Saber showed a wonderful expression.
"Is Shirou's idea to save everyone?"
Saber's question made me not know how to answer. The facts are very clear. If you want to save one party, you have to give up on the other party. At my level, you cannot come up with a solution that can save everyone.
But in my heart, I really hope to have a way to save everyone.
Seeing the meaning of my silence, Saber's expression suddenly became softer, his eyes curled into crescent moons, and his mouth raised and showed a happy smile.
"If you want to save one party, you have to commit crimes against the other party. I am happy that Shirou can realize this."
"Saber, what kind of expression do you have? If you always have to face this problem, how can you be happy?"
"Shirou, I don't quite understand how people view this issue in this era. But in my eyes, no matter what name it is, some people hurt the interests of others; no matter what process it takes to achieve, they have to distort the wishes of others.
As a knight, I am just one of these people. If I cannot choose and identify with some of them, I have no reason to stand on their side, express my will, and condemn the other side for evil.
In the past years, I have also killed many people in order to defend my motherland, and I have never regretted it. Because I am taking on the responsibility I must bear - saving my country. No matter what reason my enemies take to the battlefield and save the motherland's goal, I believe it is worth my responsibility to bear the sin of killing.
At the same time, I also believe that those enemies should not really be killed. They do not really want to be enemies with me, but because of other people's orders or fate, they are blocking me. In order to realize my ideals, I must defeat them one by one, or even kill them.
I had to pick up the sword for my motherland, and they also rushed to the battlefield for their lives. () Both sides were equally unable to retreat.
So I swear to myself that since we are in an unavoidable war, we can’t help but sacrifice our lives. Then we must at least retain our last honor. Even if the other party is the enemy that the enemy will kill the next moment, I am willing to share the honor of the warriors with them."
The weak girl was still firmly telling her beliefs. Her face seemed to shine in the night, covering up the weak paleness.
This is the promise the girl on the battlefield made to herself. When she said this sentence firmly, I couldn't help but be deeply attracted by the girl's awesome attitude.
That is the glory of a hero.
Not only do you firmly pursue your ideals, but you also stick to your beliefs in the process of pursuing them.
Such a posture must have illuminated everyone.
If you only care about the results of your mind and not the process and means, you can use them no matter how cruel means you have. You will only be a tyrant that everyone respects.
And in the process of realizing her ideal, she firmly insists on her own knight-do saber. Her posture will definitely be respected, admired by countless people, and longed to follow her footsteps.
Just like now, I am indeed attracted by Saber's idea.
If I could live and pursue my ideals like Saber, even if I failed in the end, I would definitely not regret it.
“saber…”
I murmured, all my words suddenly lost their strength.
"Shirou, I don't know what answer Shirou will get, but Shirou's life still has a long way to go. I believe that one day Shirou will find his own answer."
"There will be a day, maybe my answer is different from Saber."
"Even that, I'll be happy for Shirou-"
Saber smiled sweetly, then stood up and reached out to me.
"——Let's go back and rest first. Shirou has been sleeping in the warehouse recently. Although the weather is warm, it's not good to sleep in the warehouse. You have to go back to the bedroom to have a good rest."
I held Saber's hand and stood up, noting that it was the first time I held Saber's hand without armor. My white and delicate skin made me feel dazed and I forgot what Saber's next sentence meant to me.
"Ba"
Hey—What's going on?
I just stood up and walked two steps, how could I break the wooden floor?
"Shirou, are you okay?"
"It's okay, nothing happened."
I shook my head. Maybe the floor was old and corroded, so I stepped on it.
Then I said good night to Saber and walked into the girl's room, my bedroom.
Saber's magic reply problem has been initially solved, and there is nothing to worry about. Finally, I have a good sleep.
Then I realized a problem I forgot:
——It would be strange if you can sleep well.
How can I sleep peacefully whenever I think of the cute girl I have never had before, sleeping next to me, just a room with a sliding door?
The warm touch of saber remains in my palm.
In the quiet and peaceful night, you can imagine Saber's breathing just by lying quietly.
One exhale—one inhalation—
The warm breath spreads into the air.
What would the sleeping face of Saber lying next door look like?
At the moment of thinking this, my head fainted like a kettle, and then I couldn't fall asleep at all.
