"What on earth does he want to do? Then the word 'sacrifice' doesn't mean anything good."
Robin and Matthew were walking in the forest together, angrily akimbo.
"Or do you 'heroes' like this kind of drama? Just because it can be recorded in history books and sung for thousands of years?" She stamped her feet and gritted her teeth and said, "What's the point! Live well. Is it not good!"
The corners of Matthew's mouth twitched.
She wanted to remind Annuo and the others that they couldn't be considered "alive" to be precise now, but seeing as Miss Robin was still angry, she might as well forget it.
"Is Miss Robin so angry because she considers her grandfather a friend?"
Matthew suddenly thought of something and joked.
"Would I say this if I didn't regard him as a friend?" Robin rolled his eyes, but did not deny this, and then suddenly squatted down and sighed, "Although it is a bit selfish to say this, but I think ——”
"If he goes back to the Seat of Heroes and you all leave, then I'll be the only one left."
There was a subtle grievance in her voice, but it was extremely obvious to Mashu's ears.
Are you alone.
Mashu thought of Fujimaru Ritsuka and her retelling of Miss Robin's past.
Since Miss Robin's mother passed away, Miss Robin has become a different person.
There may have been friends, but they were alienated after all, otherwise Miss Robin would not have said such things.
"Hey, Miss Robin, Master should have told you."
Matthew sat next to Robin and looked up at the tree crown above with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for being my grandfather's friend."
".I said so." Robin raised his head and looked at Matthew with a dead fish-eyed expression, "But to be honest, when you call that guy 'Grandfather', it always makes me feel very good. It feels uncomfortable and offensive.”
"That's an illusion, please ignore it." Matthew was silent for a moment and said sternly.
Sure enough, does Miss Robin still care about her age? While Matthew was speaking, he was thinking a little off-line.
She thought Robin wouldn't care about this kind of thing.
"Uh-huh, forget it." Shaking his head to get rid of the inexplicable discomfort, Robin sighed, "That kid Ritsuka not only said thank you for being White Knight-chan's friend, but also said that I was his best friend. friend."
"To be honest, I don't quite understand this. Is there such a distinction between friends and friends?"
"Ah, what should I say about this?" Matthew laughed twice, put the shield aside temporarily, and smiled at Robin, "Miss Robin should know that my grandfather originally had his position in Britain, right? .”
"Yeah, I know, it's quite tall." Robin nodded blankly.
"My grandfather was in Britain and held a high position in Camelot. Whether it was the period of the late King Uther or the period of His Majesty King Arthur, his identity and status were relatively transcendent."
"This also resulted in my grandfather having many 'friends', but not many 'friends'."
Matthew confused Robin.
Robin thought for a while and then realized what Matthew was talking about.
"You're probably saying that that guy has a lot of friends, but not many of them are really willing to treat him as a friend?"
Robin said this very slowly.
"That's pretty much it." Mashu nodded, sighed, and rested his chin on one hand.
"Because of my grandfather's strength, almost everyone is in awe of him and treats him as an unreachable strong man."
"At the beginning, there were probably only four people who treated my grandfather as a 'friend'."
"The late King Uther, the court magician Merlin, the Lake Fairy Vivian, and Sir Hector."
"Only these four people can treat my grandfather as a friend."
"Are there only these four people?" Robin's eyes trembled slightly.
"If I remember correctly, these four people are not people who can get along with him for a long time."
"Yes." Mashu nodded, "The late King User's body has fallen into weakness since the battle of Vortigern. In severe cases, he was even unable to hold palace meetings."
"Merlin the Magician travels between the human world and the fairy realm all day long, and is missing most of the time."
"And Vivian, the fairy in the lake, is something Annuo has only seen a few times in his life."
"As for Sir Ector, since King Arthur Arturia was born, he went to a secret place to raise the future king."
"Where are the others? Are there no others?"
Robin's eyes widened slightly.
"No more. In my grandfather's life, these four may have been his only friends. The rest are all 'friends'."
Matthew shook his head and said confidently.
"It shouldn't be. Although you humans live a short time, you come into contact with a much wider range of people than us goblins, and your grandfather's personality isn't that bad? How come you can't make friends?"
Robin was confused.
The corners of Matthew's mouth twitched.
This was the first time she heard that her grandfather did not have a bad temper.
"There are many reasons for this," Matthew scratched his head and continued, "But in short, my grandfather only had these four friends, and the others, until his death, can at most be called 'juniors'" .”
"Among us Knights of the Round Table, my grandfather has the longest lineage, bar none."
"He is the oldest among the Knights of the Round Table. Even in private situations, His Majesty King Arthur calls him uncle."
"I see. In this situation, no wonder his face looks like that."
Robin thought of Anno's face.
It feels like if the muscles on a person's face that control facial expressions hadn't moved very much for decades, it would be difficult for the muscles on a person's face to become stiff like that.
"No wonder he said that I am his best friend's friend."
Robin's voice contained a little sigh.
Uther is the king, and even if they treat each other as friends, they can't get along like friends. The Lady of the Lake and Hector are both people you rarely see a few times in your life, and the only one left is Merlin, who is a rip off.
So I am the one who is my best friend.
"Thank you very much for being my grandfather's friend." Matthew said sincerely, "If it weren't for Miss Robin, my grandfather would not smile."
"In Mr. Galahad's memory, he almost never saw his grandfather's smile."
".So, he shouldn't have any intention of self-sacrifice, right?"
After a while of silence, the question returned to the original question.
"It definitely won't happen!"
Matthew said dumbfounded.
