Chapter 792

(Resumed updates. I originally said I would rest for three days, but in order to draw Kama, I spent all the 200+ Saint Quartz I saved up, and they all sank. My whole mentality collapsed; I'm afraid there's no hope for the Princess next month.)

Jeanne: "Is this—Sieg?"

Sieg: "..."

Siegfried: "It looks like he has been waiting for many years."

Astolfo: "No one to accompany him, just like that, alone..."

【For so many years, it often wondered, how many disputes have happened since then, how many sighs have been born, and how many innocent existences have died because of it?】

【Every time it thinks of this, it almost thinks, did it do something wrong?】

【But every time it reaches this point, it remembers the words she said about believing in it.】

【The words of the saint who did not yield despite holding such deep despair.】

【So that's it; this must be inevitable.】

Siegfried: "Very good, Sieg-kun."

Siegfried: "Not crushed by the years, still able to stick to your original heart."

Sieg: "Yes!"

【It is very ordinary, almost without any excellent points; when it comes to parts that are worse than others, it can't count them with two hands.】

【It is self-aware that it is just incredibly lucky, which is why it believes.】

【If even someone like it can come here, surely some unknown person will also be able to arrive.】

【Infinite someones who are ordinary, average, and uncountable, born and died. Despite holding dreams that are constantly revised downwards, they are foolish people who shed tears to move forward.】

【Precisely because they are such people, they can take a powerful step. Not relying on great heroes to pull their hands, nor relying on saints to push them from behind, but relying solely on their own will to take a step forward.】

【It believes that holding the hope that humanity is exactly like this, and such humanity will one day—】

【"Please get up."】

【A crisp voice sounded; it was not an auditory hallucination, nor an illusion, but truly existed here.】

【Although it expected that someone would come one day, the dragon opened its eyes with disbelief. The existence seen in its eyes made it soften.】

【She kept her promise and came here.】

【Watching her appearance, which was almost unchanged from when they met, it narrowed its eyes; it seems its task ends here.】

【The eternally unchanging world began to operate, and the hand that reached out was indeed the same as in the past. And the hand it used to hold that hand was also the same as it was back then.】

【"Ah ah, sure enough, just as she said."】

【The girl looked at the held hands and couldn't help but shed tears.】

【The girl had a feeling that she finally understood the feelings she held in the distant past; that should be something illusory, fragile, and disappearing like bubbles.】

【And if it could be cherished, always, always—it was probably for this moment.】

【"I won't leave you alone again."】

【Sorry, I made you wait too long, pushed eternity onto you, made you bear ten thousand kalpas; even if punished, it can't be helped, even if cursed, it can't be helped.】

【However, the boy would definitely not do that; he held her hand back, looking very apologetic.】

【"Was the journey long?"】

【"Not as long as you."】

【"I was just in a daze here; although boring, it wasn't painful, because you said you would come."】

【The boy said proudly; that was not the joy brought by the girl keeping her promise, but the joy generated by him keeping his promise.】

【From his perspective, the girl keeping her promise seemed to be a matter of course.】

【The girl held back her tears, held her hands tightly, and just enjoyed the joy.】

【"... Thank you, really thank you."】

【"Alright, then let's set off. I don't need to stay here anymore, right?"】

【The girl smiled, decided not to let go of the tightly held hands, and said that feeling with a smile like a blooming flower.】

【"—I love you."】

【She grabbed the surprised boy's hand and set off without waiting for his answer.】

【The purpose of the trip has been completed, so let's embark on a new journey.】

【"Alright, let's go, the world is waiting for you."】

【Hearing the girl say this, the boy nodded a little shyly.】

【The two set off, and the journey across the stars is about to begin.】

【Video ends.】

【This Q&A has ended completely; please look forward to the next one.】

Seeing this, Feng Xi immediately closed the Q&A group.

Sure enough, as he expected, before closing, a sharp scream came from the group.

Bluebeard: "No ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah—!!!"

Snowflakes drifting, the north wind whistling, the world is vast—

Feng Xi consciously added a BGM for him.

"Oh my god!"

Iskandar, Artoria, and Qin Shi Huang, who hadn't exited, were shaken by the scream until their ears went numb, and only then did they slowly exit.

They now only felt a ringing in their ears and couldn't hear anything.

It seems the group has been temporarily captured by Bluebeard; better not go in today.

Better to open his own gold treasure chest first.

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining "Noble Phantasm - Gate of Babylon" (of course, only the treasury, don't think too much)!】

"!!!"

Looking at the golden key in his hand, Feng Xi had a strange expression.

This, if Gilgamesh comes back, won't he fight him to the death?

Looking at the description, what he got was just an empty Noble Phantasm, with nothing inside.

Pity, he still wanted to learn from Gilgamesh and fight like a tycoon once.

But forget it, he didn't lose out; just consider it an extra large-capacity portable storage space.

It just so happens that his inventory is getting bigger and bigger, and the storage gourd given by his Master is almost full.

"Is this Gilgamesh's?"

Iskandar, who had regained his senses, saw the key in Feng Xi's hand and asked curiously.

"Correct, it's the Noble Phantasm version."

Feng Xi explained it to the three of them.
