National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

"Okay, okay~ Stop yelling~ It'll be over soon~"

"That's what Ryunosuke Uryu said excitedly," he said, then squatted down, raised the blade in his hand, and slashed down...

I don’t know how long it took.

Inside the basement, only Jill's wailing and the hissing sound of bones being cleaved could be heard.

…………

Ryunosuke Uryu is a bastard, a person whose life is like a flower, beyond redemption, a villain by nature.

An abnormally sensitive person to the reality or illusion of death, a mad performance artist who wants to understand and master death.

The more people he killed, the deeper his understanding of life became. He considered it "something that generates benefits," and with this belief, he traveled all over the country committing a series of murders.

He inadvertently summons Caster and becomes his Master when he wants to try a new way of killing. He has absolutely no interest in the Holy Grail.

…………

The live broadcast of the national fortune event had already ended that evening.

After taking a shower, Wu Yue and Artoria lay in bed in the hotel's single room, staring at the ceiling together.

Wu Yue maintained his Lion King persona, with his blonde hair flowing freely, as did Artoria.

No one spoke; it was silent.

“You were careless during the fight. If I hadn’t helped you, you might have been injured, you understand? That’s a very serious matter.”

Artoria spoke first.

"Ah... um, I'm sorry, but actually everything was under my control. I had already reacted at the time..."

"Wu and Yue".

Before Wu Yue could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Artoria.

"That's not what I want to hear. Even if everything is under your control, carelessness is still carelessness. One of the most important reasons for the defeat in every battle is your own problem, and carelessness is one of them. I came from the era of war, and I know this kind of thing all too well. I hope you understand what I mean."

"Um... I'm sorry..."

"This isn't a lecture or a warning; it's just a simple reminder of some things to keep in mind. I know your true abilities all too well. Anyway, after saying all this, I just hope you can correct your bad habits."

"Um...I'm really sorry, it won't happen again..."

Artoria sighed, somewhat helplessly.

"In addition, there is something else I would like to say."

"What's wrong?"

"Wu Yue, although you may not feel it, I'm actually a little hungry right now."

Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Artoria.

"Huh? But you were away just now and had dinner?"

Artoria also turned to look at Wu Yue, her face serious.

The two of them just stared at each other.

"That food wasn't nearly enough! It was just oden and stuff!"

"But, but only convenience stores are open in the middle of the night, and we only have enough money for oden. If we eat that, we won't have any money left. In other words, we'll have to sleep on a park bench tonight."

"I know...I know..."

Artoria turned her head back to look at the ceiling, her tone somewhat distressed.

"Can we just hold on a little longer? Tomorrow we'll meet Saber Alter's Master, and then I can ask him for some money."

"Uh-huh."

Artoria nodded, but the next second...

~Gurgle~Gurgle~

Time seemed to stand still, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.

Artoria's face turned slightly red, and then she stretched her hands out from under the covers and slowly pulled the blanket up to her face.

"Please...please don't mind me...I'm sorry..."

Wu Yue smiled.

"Seriously, there's just no way to deal with you."

She then threw back the covers, got out of bed, and with a thought, donned a silver-white armor over her body, her hair automatically coiling up.

"Where are you going?"

"It's a secret~ Wait for me to come back~"

Wu Yue stretched, feeling the warmth emanating from the blue bodysuit formed by his spirit form within the silver-white armor.

He then opened the door and went out.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

Artoria got out of bed wrapped in a bath towel, walked over and looked through the cat smoke, and saw the most familiar person.

open the door.

"Ta-da! Look what I'm holding in my hand!"

As Wu Yue spoke, he shook the small box in his hand. Inside the box were the best and most expensive foods in the convenience store.

The two sat on the bed, and Wu Yue quietly turned his head with a smile to watch Artoria wolf down her food by herself.

"Is it tasty?"

"Uh-huh!"

Artoria blinked, sensing something was off. She turned to look at Wu Yue, noticing the doting expression on Wu Yue's face.

Her face flushed red again without her realizing it...

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a bit like I was in a dream, and I was surrounded by an extreme sense of happiness.

If it were before, before the two clashed due to a misunderstanding, before they revealed their true feelings to each other, I would definitely have said...

[This is really embarrassing, could you please stop looking at it like that?]

Now, not only would she not say such formal things, she actually quite enjoys having Wu Yue just look at her like this.

He slowly put the cookie into his mouth...and lowered his head...

"Um……"

"Your eyelashes are so long and beautiful, Artoria. You're even so cute when you eat!"

"Yes...you too...I'm serious..."

His head drooped even lower.

Convenience store

The waiter stared at the most expensive and best food in the store that had suddenly disappeared from the counter.

·····Requesting flowers·· 0

I looked down at the instructions on the note.

"I'm sorry, I'm so hungry but I don't have any money, so I have no choice but to use these things to exchange for you. You don't need to doubt that these are genuine. You can sell them, and the price will definitely be worth the food. The reason I didn't show my face is just to avoid trouble."

The waiter put away the note and looked down at the weapon in his hand.

Shiny weapons.

Golden Trident

…………

The next morning, someone knocked on the door. Wu Yue and Artoria groggily opened their eyes and got ready.

Artoria was wearing casual clothes, while Wu Yue was wearing the silver-white Lion King armor, as it was the only set available.

I opened the door, and there were two people standing outside.

A man in a black trench coat and a beautiful woman in a pure white winter dress.

Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel.

Wu Yue could sense a large mass of hidden magic power standing behind the two of them.

It should be a spiritized version of Black Saber.

She opened the door and let the two in, while Artoria poured a cup of tea for each of them.

........ ... .......

The single room was small, and there was only one table, which was also very small.
