Reversing fate from the signing of the contract

"The operation went well..."

"Then why are you covering my eyes?"

Emiya Shirou, who heard Tohsaka Rin's words, was unconsciously relieved, but then he was more puzzled, because he really couldn't understand Tohsaka Rin's behavior.

And Rin Tohsaka, who had already covered Emiya Shirou's eyes in advance, glanced at Lijie Lite who was following behind her, and the strength in her hand increased unconsciously.

If Sera's figure can only be said to be a little better than normal, then Lijielit's figure is enough to compete with Hestia and Tiayu.

But Lijie Lite, who was wearing a white lab coat and had no sense of her figure, didn't care about Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou at all, but turned to look at Lan Xing.

"..."

The other party nodded towards Lan Xing and then returned to the operating room, and Lan Xing followed closely behind.

Lan Xing who had just walked into the room saw Ilya sitting on the operating table at a glance. At this time, the other party looked a little pale, but when he saw Lan Xing, the other party still tried to show his face towards Lan Xing. big smile.

"Lan Xing, according to the agreement... I survived."

And Lan Xing also stretched out his right hand towards Illya with a smile on his face and touched her head.

"Ah."

Looking at the smiling Ilya, Sera, who has been silently taking care of Ilya, also quietly pulled Lijie Lite towards the dressing room next to her. Although there was no reason, she still felt that maybe Ilya and the others need some alone time...

Chapter 60 Ilya, there is something I want to confess to you

The beating of the heart is a normal and ordinary thing for anyone, because when the heart stops, it means the passing of life, but for Illya, every beating of the "heart" represents her distance. Death is getting closer.

That's why Illya never paid attention to it...or deliberately forgot about the beating of the heart, which is very common to anyone.

But when she woke up from her sleep, she couldn't help but put her hand on her chest for some reason.

"Bang~bang~"

The firm and powerful beating of her heart made her feel so clearly that she was truly alive for the first time.

Not as a vehicle for the 'Little Holy Grail', but so clearly alive as a human being.

------

Although the activation of the "Key of Destiny" meant that his commission had been completed, but when Lan Xing saw Illya's smile with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart.

This joy comes not only from the continuation of life, but also from the rejoicing that I have overturned my destiny again.

But at this moment, Ilya, who had been touched by Lan Xing, made a move that was unexpected by Lan Xing. She stood up directly from the operating table, opened her arms and embraced Lan Xing.

For Blue Star, who is 190 tall, Ilya, who is 130+ tall, can only reach Blue Star's waist, but this is the first time she is standing on the operating table without Blue Star bending over. Can be eye level with Blue Star.

Clearly, Lan Xing's face was the same as before, but perhaps because she didn't need to fear the loss of life, she even felt that even Lan Xing's face had softened a little.

"Blue Star!!"

Looking at Ilya who opened her arms with joy and opened her arms towards her, Lan Xing almost instinctively caught her.

Ilya's body is light and soft, like a doll when held in her arms, unlike Lan Xing's slightly rough skin due to exercise, the skin of Ilya who rubbed against Lan Xing's cheek after hugging Lan Xing is really It can be said that it can be broken by blowing bullets, and Lan Xing is even worried that the other party will scratch his face.

Feeling the warm cheeks of the other party, the smile on Lan Xing's face became softer, because this is the temperature of life.

The atmosphere in the room was extremely warm, but at this moment, Illya's words suddenly broke everything.

"Blue Star, since you don't want it, can I give the 'Little Holy Grail' to Shirou?"

Illya's voice trembled a little. It was obvious that making this decision was not an easy task for Illya, but Lan Xing was very calm.

His 'entrustment' has been completed, and the power given to him by Hercules has almost been exhausted. He has no confidence to defeat other servants. Who knows if others will be stronger than them?

That being the case, he was more inclined to let Ilya leave the city so as not to cause complications.

For Blue Star and Illya at this time, the 'Little Holy Grail' is undoubtedly a burden, and it is good news for Blue Star that Illya is willing to voluntarily give up the 'Little Holy Grail' at this time.

"No problem, after all, the 'Little Holy Grail' is not my goal..."

I don't know if it was Lan Xing's illusion, but when he said these words, he felt the temperature on Illya's body rising?

Blue Star's words made Illya's whole face turn extremely red, because Illya preconceived that Blue Star was a mercenary entrusted by the Einzbern family like Emiya Kiritsugu, so in her opinion, Blue Star This sentence is like saying 'Illya, you are more important than the Holy Grail to me'.

The arms holding Lan Xing tightened unconsciously, and at the same time she couldn't help but whispered something.

"It's up to you... anyway, I'm already yours..."

Although Yi Liya's voice may not even be heard clearly by herself, but the other party is lying on his shoulder at this time, and the blue star's five senses have already been trained far beyond ordinary people, he naturally heard the other party's words, but also endured Can't help coughing lightly.

"Well, Illya, there is actually something I want to confess to you..."

"whats the matter?"

Although she didn't know what Lan Xing was talking about, but because Lan Xing's voice was too serious, Ilya couldn't help but let go of her hand and stood on the operating table again.

Looking at Ilya's slightly nervous eyes, Lan Xing finally chose to tell the truth.

"Actually, the person who hired me to protect you, Illya, was 'Hercules'. I was worried that what I said would be too outrageous, Illya, you didn't believe it, so when you said that your grandfather might send someone to protect you, I simply chose to acquiesce, but now that my commission has been completed, I think it's time to tell you the truth..."

Lan Xing kept looking directly into Illya's eyes while saying these words.

Blue Star doesn't regret cheating Illya. After all, if he doesn't do this, he probably won't be able to gain the trust of Illya and the others. But at the same time, he is also aware of this time. For the other party, if Illya gets angry, he doesn't intend to resist.

It's just that Illya's reaction was a bit beyond his expectation.

The other party did show a surprised expression when he heard his words, but after the initial surprise, the other party thought about it, and laughed instead?

Blue Star couldn't understand Illya's reaction because he didn't know Illya's background.

Illya didn't have a good impression of her so-called "family". After all, the Einzbern family did not treat her as a member of the family from the beginning, but as an "item". If possible, she even hoped to leave It doesn't matter whether the Einzbern family joins the Emiya family...or the Lan family.

But because of the prerequisite that 'Blue Star was hired by the Einzbern family', she kept this thought in her heart, but when she heard Blue Star say 'I am not hired by the Einzbern family' , not only was she not angry at all, but she felt extremely happy, because this meant that she could sever her connection with the Einzbern family without hesitation!

Seeing Ilya smiling so happily, Lan Xing didn't know how to speak for a while, but because of a 'misunderstanding', he had to continue talking.

"So, Ilya, you don't need to marry me because of the family..."

Lan Xing tried to resolve the misunderstanding, but Ilya suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Lan Xing's mouth, and then under Lan Xing's shocked gaze, the other party hugged his head with both hands, but this time it was different from before What's more, Illya's expression was very serious, as if she was about to say something very important...

Chapter 61 Illya A went up

Facing Lan Xing with a height of 190, even standing on the operating table, Ilya still had to tiptoe to hug Lan Xing's neck, but for some reason, when she was petite, she held Lan Xing's face with both hands. It seemed to be filled with an unspeakable aura.

"Blue Star, I forgive your lies..."

As soon as Illya opened her mouth, Lan Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but what the other party said next was completely beyond his imagination.

"I can even say that I am grateful for your lies, because of your lies I can fight alongside you, Blue Star, but what I want you to know is that the so-called 'marriage' is meaningless to me, because I Doomed to die in this Holy Grail War... no matter who wins the Holy Grail War in the end."

Obviously what she was talking about was an extremely cruel thing, but at this time she was holding the blue star and showing a bright smile.

"I was already mentally prepared when I participated in this Holy Grail War. For me, I don't exist in the future three days later... So, because it doesn't matter what you started, the important thing is that you changed the blue star. All of this, you defeated Gilgamesh who wanted to take away the Lesser Holy Grail, and helped me take the Lesser Holy Grail smoothly, it was you who kept me alive."

While speaking, Illya's expression became more gentle, and Lan Xing's original serious expression also melted with the other party's smile, even a little flustered.

Lan Xing is not a piece of wood, and it can even be said that he is very sensitive to the world. After all, it is precisely because he lost the protection of his family that he is more mature than his peers, because he has to face everything alone, whether it is good or evil. .

So at this time, he had vaguely guessed what Illya wanted to say next, but he almost instinctively shied away when he encountered this situation for the first time and didn't know how to deal with it.

"I just completed the 'commission'. Hercules' commission is to let you, Illya, survive..."

"But I believe that among the rewards Hercules gave to Blue Star, there is absolutely nothing that would allow you to protect me at the expense of your life."

Before Lan Xing finished speaking, Illya interrupted her, and then released her left hand that supported Lan Xing's cheek, held Lan Xing's right hand and slowly lifted it up.

"So why did Lanxing risk his life to protect me?"

Obviously, it was Lan Xing who was trying to persuade Illya, but at this time, the other party used it in turn. Faced with Illya's rhetorical question, Lan Xing didn't even know how to answer for a while.

And Ilya, who saw Lanxing's reaction, couldn't help showing a bright smile, and even became more confident because of Lanxing's reaction.

With Lan Xing's silence, Ilya got closer and closer to Lan Xing, and with the actions of the other party, Lan Xing's expression became more and more unnatural. At this time, he even had a kind of 'escape' However, unexpectedly, Illya seemed to have guessed Lan Xing's thoughts in advance. .

She firmly grasped Lan Xing's wrist, and Lan Xing couldn't even grab the other's seemingly weak palm because she was afraid of hurting Illya.

Not only the physical actions, but also the verbal offensive Illya did not give up.

"When Berserker sacrificed to protect me, it was the second time in my life that I really felt hopeless, but it was when I was most desperate that you stood in front of me, Blue Star, at that time I My heart no longer belongs to me..."

While speaking, Illya raised Lan Xing's hand and pressed it against her chest.

The thin gauze lab coat couldn't hinder Lan Xing's hands at all. When his hands touched the opponent's chest, the special touch made Lan Xing almost instinctively try to withdraw his right hand, but Ilya was extremely tough. He pulled Lan Xing's hand back.

"Did you feel it? This is my heartbeat right now. It belongs to you, and I, who was reborn because of it... also belongs to you."

Faced with Ilya's 'confession', Lan Xing's eyes widened and he seemed a little at a loss.

Although he guessed what Illya was thinking, he never thought that Illya would say these words so frankly.

This undoubtedly straight ball made Blue Star's whole head into a mess, and it could even be said that it crashed directly.

He wanted to reject Illya, because at least before Illya confessed to him, he had always regarded her as a target to protect... that's all.

But at the same time, he felt that maybe he should accept it. After all, wasn't he accepting the 'Gate of Destiny' and this 'firm' in the first place to find his own family?

Lan Xing's tangled expression was seen by Ilya, and Ilya was undoubtedly a little disappointed that Lan Xing didn't directly respond to her feelings.

She has lived in an abnormal environment since she was a child, perhaps because of this, her thoughts on "emotion" are more pure, if you like it, then don't hesitate.

After all, the magician's world is cruel, and no one knows when she will lose her life, especially for her as an artificial human. In this case, instead of regretting for life because of missing today's opportunity, it is better to take the opportunity to give Blue Star Express yourself.

It's just that Lan Xing's reaction was somewhat beyond her expectation.

But then she kept comforting herself in her heart, because although Lan Xing didn't respond to her confession, she also didn't reject her confession, which meant that at least Lan Xing didn't hate herself.

I just don't know why... I always feel a little empty in my heart.

Illya's hand holding Lan Xing also unconsciously let go, but at this moment something unexpected happened to Illya.

That is, she originally thought that Lan Xing would take the opportunity to pull out her hand, but Lan Xing not only did not 'run away', but instead held Illya's hand firmly.

And Ilya, who was still holding Lan Xing's hand to express her love, looked at Lan Xing whose expression suddenly became serious for some reason, but she was a little at a loss, as if the original rhythm of running was disrupted generally.

Compared to the blue star who was at a loss and the 'aggressive' Ilya before, facing the serious face of the blue star, Ilya became nervous, because in her opinion, although the blue star did not Accept your confession, at least you didn't reject yourself.

But facing the serious-looking Lan Xing at this time, she suddenly realized that the probability of 'victory' is 50%, but the probability of failure is also 50%.

After she calmed down, she flinched a little, but at this moment she suddenly realized that it seemed that Lan Xing was holding her hand.

Maybe it was because her mind was so messed up, at this moment she couldn't help but have the thought of 'I suddenly understand Lan Xing's mood just now'.

It's a pity that just like she didn't give Lan Xing a chance to think before, Lan Xing also didn't give her a chance to think, but when Lan Xing spoke, Illya found that what Lan Xing said seemed to be different from what she imagined. too same...

Chapter 62 Blue Star's Answer

Illya's sudden attack caught Lan Xing off guard, and he, who had never been confessed by the opposite sex, fell into a state of confusion.

His sensibility makes him almost instinctively want to agree to the other party, because this may be the closest he is to his wish;

But his rationality made him want to reject the other party, not only because Illya's petite appearance made him feel guilty, but also because he felt that if he agreed to the other party, it would be not only for himself, but also for him. The other party's irresponsibility.

But what Lan Xing didn't expect was that his hesitation made Illya shrink back, and the action of the other party's almost instinctive release of Lan Xing's hand awakened Lan Xing who was in deep thought.

Looking at Lan Xing who was smiling but his fingers were trembling slightly, for some reason, he felt a sudden tremor in his heart, and then he grabbed Illya's hand with his backhand.

"Feel sorry!"

Under Illya's gaze, Lan Xing did not reject or accept Illya's confession, but was the first to apologize loudly.

Under Illya's suspicious eyes, Lan Xing explained seriously.

"It's the first time I've been confessed, so I'm a little overwhelmed."

Seeing Lan Xing's serious explanation, Ilya, who was originally nervous, was relieved, and then she couldn't help making complaints in a low voice.

"It's also the first time I've confessed my love to someone..."

Obviously both Lan Xing and Illya said the truth, and they were serious when they spoke, but for some reason, as her words fell, the two of them almost smiled at the same time, and at the same time, there were some strange things in the room. The atmosphere dissipated for the most part.

But then Lan Xing showed a serious expression again, but the difference was that this time he had already thought about what he was going to say, and he no longer hesitated.

"I am honored to be favored by you, Illya, but please allow me to refuse."

Lan Xing's refusal made Illya's heart tremble, but to her surprise, when she saw Lan Xing's solemn expression, she found that her heart gradually calmed down, but she didn't Going to give up on this.

"Can you tell me the reason? Is it because of my artificial identity?"

Looking at Ilya's serious expression, Lan Xing knew that he had to give her a clear answer here.
