While staring at Animusfia's sleeping face, Fujimaru Ritsuka began to think silently——When did he fall in love with the person in front of him?
It was obvious that when he first came, he was extremely hostile to this man whose origin was unknown and who spoke completely without regard for other people's feelings.
Did it start then?
Animusfia didn't care about the hostility she showed towards him, and still tried her best to help her become a Master for the first time.
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head.
not really.
Perhaps Animusfia's view of her changed after that, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's attitude towards Animusfia at that time was just as an ordinary person who could be interacted with normally.
In actual terms, it only eliminated the bad impression that he didn't care that Olga Marie was confirmed to be dead one moment, and usurped Chaldea the next moment as if he had planned it in advance.
It was also after that that Fujimaru Ritsuka began to treat Animusfia like an ordinary friend.
He would also use his eyes that were always lingering on the curves of his body to make some bottomless jokes.
At that time, there was probably only a faint favorable impression at best.
Anyone who faces a person of the opposite sex who has a relatively good appearance will have a natural favorable impression.
But becoming familiar with each other was far behind that.
It was when I discovered that although Animusfia came to take over Chaldea in name, she actually had no airs of any special ability, let alone the airs of a magician.
On the contrary, although her background is a mystery and her past is blurry, Animusfia behaves and behaves more like a normal person compared to everyone else in Chaldea except her.
He is more like an ordinary person who grew up in a modern civilized society and has never been exposed to the world of magic.
More like her.
Although Mashu is considered to be Fujimaru Ritsuka's peer, perhaps it is due to Chaldea's special role as a human protection organization. Mashu, who claims to have never been out, possesses more written knowledge. And lack of real-life experience.
The person who finally gave Fujimaru Ritsuka the first sense of belonging in this completely unfamiliar magic institution was Animusfia, who came later than her but was the director.
The identity of Director Chaldea is just a useful tool that allows him to legitimately exist here and hold some initiative.
As for the fact that he is not actually a member of the Animusfia family at all, or even if he is, he should not take over Chaldea at all, it has long been a secret.
After all, it can be seen by an individual.
As for the engraving of the Animusfia family, some people may wonder where it came from at first, but Animusfia has shown time and time again that science cannot explain it, nor can it be mysterious. No one cares anymore after the "magic" that only combines both of them to eke out a conclusion.
Judging from the current level of Animusfia, even if it is placed in the clock tower, it will definitely overwhelm all other magicians.
I'm afraid only those magic users who have seen the dragon but never seen the end can compete with him.
Even in some aspects, I am afraid that the magician may not be able to compare with Animusfia.
Animusfia, who has shown her strength, no longer needs the title of the monarch family to prove her worth. On the contrary, the monarch family needs a leader like Animusfia to prove itself. .
If Animusfia has always claimed to be a member of the Animusfia family, I am afraid that even if there are still some remnants of the Animusfia family in the Clock Tower Astronomy Department, they will be completely Instead of exposing him, he would cheerfully invite him to be the leader, and then make this monarch family that has been excluded from the core of the clock tower great again and carry out a great revival of the astronomical science.
Fujimaru Ritsuka imagined Animusfia walking into the clock tower surrounded by everyone, and then said something expressionless like, 'My power as the director is unlimited! 'Internet subculture jokes like this make me laugh inexplicably.
She shook her head. Although Fujimaru Ritsuka had never actually been to the Clock Tower, and her knowledge of the Magic Association was limited to the oral accounts of employees who had stayed in the Clock Tower in Chaldea and the information retained in Chaldea. Therefore, he had no idea what the environment was like inside the clock tower.
But since it is under that Big Ben, the interior may be similar to the Houses of Lords and Commons that we once saw on TV.
However, even the British House of Lords and House of Representatives Fujimaru Ritsuka has never visited it personally. The only thing she has ever seen that can be remotely compared to it is the Diet Building that she visited during her junior high school trip.
But even the National Assembly Hall was by no means a place where Animusfia should go and talk.
After all, it is a huge sense of violation that the person who is with me every day suddenly appears in a place that sounds far away from me.
Even if that kind of thing really happened, most people's subconscious reaction would still be to refuse to believe it, and then immediately say something like, "Oh, that's a lie."
Maybe Animusfia does have that talent to enter the interior of the clock tower.
It would be better to say that he definitely has that kind of talent.
Thinking of this, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly understood why he refused to accept the picture of Animusfia becoming the Lord of the Clock Tower.
In the final analysis, she was just unwilling to accept that Animusfia, who was already so close to her, would once again become a distant person.
Unwilling to accept the distance between the two people that had finally been shortened, the sadly thick barrier that had finally disappeared reappeared.
Even if Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't like it, someone who had put a love letter in her shoe cabinet when she was very young in high school, and was finally rejected by her on the rooftop, even his name and appearance were already blurred in her memory. My classmate, Ritsuka Fujimaru, still couldn't forget the faint feeling of discomfort when she saw him and his new girlfriend walking past her.
Although he clearly knew that everything had nothing to do with him, and he also knew that he had no such position at all, he looked at the existence that once showed kindness to him, and the distance could be reduced to a negative number with just a nod of his head, so far away. For myself, that feeling was still something Fujimaru Ritsuka could not describe.
It was as if the sundries that belonged to her had entered someone else's pocket. Although she didn't care much about the sundries, it was always uncomfortable to see her things go into other people's pockets.
If one day suddenly the Masters of Group A were healed from serious injuries, and her cherished junior Mash treated other Masters the same way he treated her, I'm afraid the discomfort would be even more serious.
Not to mention someone like Animusfia, whom she really likes.
Although I sometimes feel disgusted by my own mood of treating others as belongings, I also feel that I am too arrogant.
But sure enough, Fujimaru Ritsuka still couldn't restrain his desire for dominance - or possessiveness.
The emotion of liking, or love, is what it is in the final analysis.
Thinking about it now, if she really started to like the person in front of her, maybe it was when she faced Animusfia who was temporarily comatose under Camilla's Noble Phantasm and realized that she could relax Let's possess him.
Just like now——————————————
That faint good feeling turned into the bud of some more concrete feelings in just a moment, prompting her to take action.
What kind of mentality did I have at that time to perform artificial respiration on Animusfia?
Now Fujimaru Ritsuka can no longer recall it completely.
But she thought, it should be no different from now.
Lifting up her hanging hair and tying it behind her ears, Fujimaru Ritsuka gently kissed the lips of the person in front of her.
………………
Matthew stood outside the ward and looked at everything happening in the ward with red ears. He covered his eyes with his hands, but his eyes had already greedily taken in everything through the gaps between his fingers.
Da Vinci and Roman standing next to her were the complete opposite. They looked like traditional parents standing in the newlywed's bridal chamber, taking in everything in full view and making reminders from time to time, while nodding while folding their hands.
"Well, I'm quite proficient already."
Dr. Roman sighed.
"But it's still a bit green. In this case, shouldn't we just get under the quilt and do something more exciting? If we just cook the rice, even the director won't be able to say anything else. Alright."
Da Vinci also echoed.
"No, no, no, that's still a bit..."
Compared with the Italians of the Renaissance, Roman, who came from a traditional background, still finds it difficult to agree with him.
"However, Fujimaru-chan doesn't know that the glass in the ward is one-sided transparent, right?"
"She should know, after all, she passes by often."
"Most people don't care about these details, right?"
"But according to the child's personality, he would probably do it even in front of us. Maybe he already knows that we are standing outside and did it deliberately for us to see."
Roman reasoned as he nodded.
The three Romans who came out of concern were blocked by the invisible atmosphere in the ward, and then left wisely.
And Animusfiya gradually woke up from the darkness and regained her consciousness under a familiar but long-lost soft touch.
Finally he opened his eyes, and what he saw was Fujimaru Ritsuka's gorgeous red hair.
"Good morning, Director."
As if he had been preparing for a long time, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and told him his usual way of saying hello.
"Hey, good morning, Ritsuka."
Animusfia spoke out, but found that her vocal cords seemed to not belong to her, making a sound she had not expected.
Has it been too long since you've spoken?
However, the subsequent weight exerted on himself left him no time to feel the difference between before and after.
Looking at the girl buried in her chest, Animusfiya said helplessly:
"Is this how you treat a patient?"
"Hmph, don't try to lie to me. Director, you didn't suffer any trauma. Since you have woken up from the coma, you are no longer a patient."
"You are really well-informed."
After hearing this, Animusfiya was too embarrassed to pretend to be injured and sat up from the hospital bed.
Although unlike what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, he should be a patient at all times, he is indeed not at the point where he needs careful care from others.
"Director, why do you always like to say good morning?"
"Well, I didn't just say it because I felt like it. There are some reasons behind it, but can I keep my answer now?"
"Is this a new way of fooling people that you developed in your dream?"
"I can't help it. Who told me never to lie?"
"That kind of perfunctory way of fooling people is worse than lying."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Animusfia with disdain, then changed his expression and continued to say to him:
"Well, if you don't want to say it, forget it, just————"
"Just what...?"
Animusfia, who originally wanted to continue to be vague, returned her gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka, but was shocked by her serious expression that she had never seen before.
"From now on, can you also say morning to me every day?"
"every day?"
"every day."
Under the girl's almost forcing gaze, Animusfiya's eyes shifted involuntarily.
Now, even he was able to detect the deep meaning behind Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.
Fujimaru Ritsuka just said it in a more graceful way.
Faced with her expression of love, to be honest, Animusfia couldn't refuse at all, but he knew very well that he couldn't make a promise at all.
"Well, I'll keep the answer."
In the end, he could only answer vaguely.
"That's it. Then the director will keep your answer well. I'll look forward to it."
However, to Animusfia's expectation, the red-haired girl was not affected by her extremely irresponsible answer.
"Don't you feel angry?"
"Angry? Why, I just made a request to the director in a normal way——————and you didn't reject me directly. Sure enough, subconsciously you still want to agree.
Besides, isn't this usually the case in comics where the woman asks not to answer for the time being because she is afraid of being rejected, and in fact, she will definitely be rejected? It turns out that the director really wants to keep the answer, and in a sense he has already agreed, right? ? "
Although it was just a request, what Fujimaru Ritsuka said was nothing like a request.
Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up, walked outside the ward and turned around and said:
"I will always be waiting for your answer, Director."
Afterwards, she left the ward without any delay, leaving only Animusfia staring at the door in a daze.
After a moment, Animusfia reacted.
"It's so embarrassing..."
At this point, he could only laugh at himself for not living up to expectations while savoring the fragrance of a girl that still remained on his lips.
