To be king and magician

"But judging by your performance, you retain a true sense of self... Are you Sajo Aika herself?"

A dream is a dream, and everything in it is false. Even the magic related to dreams is essentially an influence on the spirit, so everything that happens in the dream cannot interfere with the real world.

The reason why Shatiao Aige existed in Arthur's dream was probably because she had left such a deep impression on Arthur that Arthur would always remember her existence, which made Xia Chuanhu able to Meet her in a dream.

But the strange thing is that it has been half a month since Xia Chuanhu summoned Arthur, but it was yesterday that he saw Sha Tiao Ai Ge.

"Well, it's me." Sajo Aiga smiled, "I'm not interested in magic and magic, but now I have to thank magic a little bit, after all, only through magic can I come here like I am now. Ah, I also want to thank that succubus sister who provided me with information."

Sister Dream Demon?

(The female version of Merlin on Arthur's side!?)

Indeed, if it is the succubus who has the qualifications of being a crown magician candidate, it is not impossible to intervene in dreams across parallel worlds with the aid of the ability of Sajo Aika who is connected to the root, but why?Why did Merlin over there do this?

(No, the reason should be very simple, she just wants to have fun!)

Thinking of this, Xia Chuanhu's heart immediately turned cold. First, he was targeted by Sha Tiao Aige, and then by the entertainer Mei Li. Can he still live?Go early and prepare a coffin to lie in.

"Then, how should I punish you? Vixen." Coming in front of Xia Chuanhu, Shatiao Aige put his hand on his heart, "It is absolutely forbidden to take Saber from others. My prince, he is mine, is mine, is mine, is mine, is mine, is mine, is mine!"

Sha Tiao Aige's speech became faster and faster, her tone became more and more crazy and crazy, and the flushing of her cheeks and the frenzied eyes could be called sick.

Is this girl crazy in love with Arthur?

"Ah, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a little bit." Shatiao Aige quickly recovered, "But it's also your fault, if you hadn't snatched Arthur away from me, I wouldn't have It would be as embarrassing as before."

"Is it all my fault for co-authoring?"

"Well, it's all your fault."

Gritting his teeth, Xia Chuanhu somewhat became angry.Would the Bodhisattva still get angry? As an ordinary person, he was so involuntarily blamed for all his faults, and he was inexplicably hostile and intimidated. Is he really a good person who can't get angry?

"It's your fault, Ba Po."

"Ok?"

"You must know Arthur's character better than me, the character of the King of Knights who insists on justice, always makes the right choices, and takes the right actions. You definitely know better than me."

"Oh, please don't say it so bluntly." Sha Tiao Aige couldn't help but blush, "Yes, I am the person who knows Saber best in the world, you still know this very well, the vixen is also somewhat self-conscious .”

"The vixen vixen is called... I am a man! I am male and my sexual orientation is female! Don't call me Nantong!" Xia Chuanhu was trembling with anger, "Besides, since Arthur's If everything you do is correct, then what he opposes must be wrong, so it seems that you who were killed by him and denied by him are not the one who is wrong?"

"It's not me, it's not Arthur, it's you who's wrong, you bastard! A stinking girl with no hair on her head, she wants to catch a girl, and she wants Arthur to take a fancy to you before going back Let’s talk about it after a few years of development and becoming a sexy big sister. Let’s not talk about Arthur at this airport. No one will look at your brand in the red light district. If you take the initiative to find a job on the street, you will be disgusted by others. You deserve to take the initiative for so long. The defeated dog was cuckolded—”

Before Xia Chuanhu's mouth stink was over, Sha Tiao Aige, whose face was completely black, had already sealed his mouth, and the squirming chaos and darkness could be faintly seen in the blue eyes.Undoubtedly, Xia Chuanhu's output also made her angry.

"Pfft—!"

Bai Nen's small hand suddenly stabbed Xia Chuanhu's chest, and the still beating bright red heart was directly held by Sha Tiao Aige, and the dark magic power poured into Xia Chuanhu's body continuously along the arm.

"I've put a curse on you." Shatiao Aige said, "Although dreams can't affect reality at all, if it's aimed at your spirit, there are as many methods as possible. From now on, every night you They will be tortured by endless nightmares until they have a mental breakdown."

"This is my first punishment for stealing Saber from you. I will come to see you tomorrow and give you a new punishment. Goodbye then, big brother."

Shatiao Aige smiled and disappeared before Xia Chuanhu's eyes.

It was undoubtedly a beautiful smile, with an angelic face paired with a pleasant voice, I am afraid that anyone would be immersed in her greeting.But for Xia Chuanhu, Shatiao Aige's smile is the mockery of the devil.

However, neither Shatiao Aige nor Xia Chuanhu found out, or it happened after Shatiao Aige left. On the cursed heart, a flower quietly bloomed.

9. I'm just an ordinary person

The moment he woke up, Xia Chuanhu saw Arthur's face looking down at him.

"Master! You finally woke up!"

Seeing Xia Chuanhu wake up, Arthur was visibly relieved: "I'm very sorry Master, I caused you too much burden on this operation, and I used a little too much magic power. I will restrain myself more in the future. .”

"Arthur..."

Sitting up from the tatami, Xia Chuanhu still hung his head in a daze, then grabbed Arthur's shoulder and looked at him like Sadako.

Arthur, who was still a little strange at first, was stunned the moment he met Xia Chuanhu's eyes.

Those are the eyes of people who are close to death, who have experienced despair and hell, but those who have experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, who have never seen any hope, whose faith and spirit have been shattered.

Haggard - even though Xia Chuanhu's body is still healthy, his spirit is undoubtedly on the verge of collapse.

"Master... are you dreaming again?"

"Sha Tiao Love Song..." Xia Chuanhu grabbed Arthur tightly, "That woman is a devil, Arthur, the real devil... I was really an idiot before, I thought If it's in a dream, no matter how hostile she is to me and how much she tortures me, I can bear it...Where did I get the courage to think so?"

"I died Arthur, died many times, she put a curse on me, let me repeat death over and over again, and experience the pain of death repeatedly...Why do I have to suffer this pain! Just because Did I summon you? Just because I am your Master? Just because that woman unilaterally thinks I stole you?"

"Why!"

Xia Chuanhu's mournful cry pierced his heart, and his messy hair made him look even more terrifying. People who didn't know might send him directly to a mental hospital. In fact, Xia Chuanhu really needs mental treatment now.

He couldn't remember how many times he had died, only that he had died, in various circumstances.Sha Tiao Aige is right, she can't interfere with the reality here, but she can do everything possible to torture his spirit, turning him into a walking corpse without will, a living dead.

"Master."

Arthur suddenly hugged Xia Chuanhu.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you have suffered such injustice, I'm sorry."

"Don't...don't be so gentle to me! Don't treat me like this!" Xia Chuanhu tried hard to push Arthur away, "The more you treat me like this, the more Shatiao Aige will be tortured Me, don't you understand!"

"..."

Looking at Xia Chuanhu who showed fear in his eyes, Arthur felt at a loss for a moment. He didn't know how to face Xia Chuanhu, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation.

In the final analysis, it was a problem left over from his mishandling of Ai Ge in the past, but because Ai Ge really loved him, Xia Chuanhu could only bear the pain that should have been borne by him in the end.

"Ai Ge, you have gone too far." Arthur gritted his teeth, "The matter between you and me, the Master should not be involved, he is innocent, if you take any anger on me, just Well, why do you want to do something to the Master."

No one will answer Arthur's questioning, Shatiao Aige who is far away in the parallel world will not hear his questioning, and Xia Chuanhu can't answer his questioning either.

Arthur once again felt his own powerlessness, the same powerlessness that could not change anything, just like in the Hill of Swords.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door suddenly, and someone came.

Xia Chuanhu repeatedly told Arthur not to appear in front of outsiders, but the current situation...

Walking to the door, Arthur asked, "Who is there?"

"It's me, Kotomine Kirei, Mr. Natsukawa, I want to ask you something, may I open the door?"

Kotomine Kirei.

When chatting with the Master at noon yesterday, Arthur had heard of this name, and he was from the church.

"Mr. Xia Chuan?"

Outside the door, seeing the delay in opening the door, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help feeling a little strange.He came here because of the accident of the Matou family the night before yesterday. The Matou family, one of the three royal families in Fuyuki City, was destroyed overnight.After many investigations, the church finally found Xia Chuanhu.

"Crack."

The door opened, but it was not Xia Chuanhu who opened the door, but a strange blond man.

"This...isn't Mr. Xia Chuan's home?"

"Master is unwell, and I am his servant." Arthur said frankly, "If you are a member of the church, can I ask you one thing?"

A servant of Xia Chuanhu?Did he summon the followers so early?How many days has it been?Not to mention who taught him magic tricks?

One question after another emerged in Kotomine Kirei's heart, but in the end he suppressed them all, and followed Arthur into the house.

Looking at Natsu Chuantora curled up in the corner, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help asking: "Mr. Natsukawa?"

"Master will dream about the experiences of the servants during their lifetime. My... experience during my lifetime was not very glorious, and it had a serious impact on the Master's spirit. The church members should be able to use spiritual healing magic, please help Let's go to Master."

"I'll give it a try."

While speaking, Kotomine Kirei squatted down in front of Natsu Chuantora, and began mental treatment.

Although in the eyes of the church, magic is heresy, but because of the cooperation between Tohsaka Tokiomi and Kotomine Risei three years ago, Kotomine Kirei also joined Tohsaka Tokiomi's disciples and began to learn magic. He is best at psychic healing , not to heal the body, but to heal the soul.Its healing techniques for dealing with spiritual bodies and spirits have reached the level of priests.

In other words, Kotomine Kirei is an expert in spiritual healing, and it is really a kind of luck to be able to come to Natsukawa's house at this time.

——————————————————————————————

The treatment didn't last long, the magic light only lasted for a few ten minutes and then dimmed. Seeing Natsu Chuantora who had fallen asleep peacefully, Arthur couldn't help asking Kotomine Kirei who got up: "How is the situation of the Master?" ?”

"It's fine for the time being." Kotomine Kirei went to the sink to wash his hands, "It is true that he has received quite serious mental trauma, but what is miraculous is that there is an automatic operation in his body, continuously healing him Even without me, he will recover in the end."

Does Xia Chuanhu have a magic formula that automatically restores the spirit in his body?

A trace of doubt flashed in Arthur's heart, but he still thanked him: "Even so, thank you, Mr. Yanfeng. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

"I didn't do anything. At most, I just allowed Mr. Xia Chuan to sleep peacefully and gave him a mental protective magic. It's really not something worthy of praise."

Speaking of this, Kotomine Kirei couldn't help sighing, "However, seeing Mr. Natsukawa like this, I can't answer anything. I will visit again in two days, and I will ask some questions about the Matou family. Please report back to Mr. Xia Chuan."

"I will, please go slowly."

After sending Kotomine Kirei out, and returning to sit next to Xia Chuanhu, Arthur's eyes were suddenly attracted by the white light between Xia Chuanhu's eyebrows.

Pushing aside his bangs and looking at the magic imprint that looked like a flower, Arthur understood everything in an instant.

"Are you in charge behind it? Merlin."

10. An Acceptable Ending

Waking up in the morning sun for the second time, Xia Chuanhu looked at the familiar ceiling, feeling a little absent-minded for a while.

"Da da da da..."

The sound of kitchen knives beating on the chopping board came to my ears.Grabbing the coat next to him and putting it on his body, he stood up and went to the kitchen. What Xia Chuanhu saw was Arthur who was cutting vegetables in an apron.

"Arthur?"

"Ah, Master, you're awake."

Hearing Xia Chuanhu's voice, Arthur immediately stopped what he was doing and turned around. Seeing Xia Chuanhu standing behind him, Arthur was visibly relieved: "Great, Master, you look fine. Wait a minute , I’m making breakfast, it’ll be ready soon.”

Arthur is making breakfast?

why?

what happened last night?
