It doesn't matter what it looks like in the simulation, but they have never seen it in reality.

"..."

After staring at Guinevere suspiciously for a long time, Oberon suddenly let out a sigh as if sighing, and said slowly:

"In that case, do you want to meet her... Although she may have left a bad impression on you as a first meeting, but please believe me, she is not a bad child."

Guinevere hesitated, although it was only for a short moment, and then he shook his head firmly:

"...No, let's forget it."

"Although I definitely have no problem with her not being abducted by some unknown guy... But are you really unwilling to give her a chance?" Oberon asked, "Can you tell me about it? Reason?"

"...Well, there is no special reason,"

After sitting in his seat in a daze for a few seconds, Guinevere turned his head to the side, looked out the window, and said slowly:

"I'm scared."

"Are you afraid?" Oberon was stunned, "Well, if you are worried because of her previous reckless actions, please believe my guarantee, she is really a good child -"

"No," Guinevere suddenly said, "I'm just afraid that she will be disappointed when she sees me."

"—"

Looking at Oberon who suddenly fell silent, Guinevere continued:

"I don't know what kind of person I am in her eyes, and I don't know why she likes me... But, I think she must have overestimated me."

"I'm not a great guy in any way. In my short 20 years of life, I haven't found anything in myself that I can be proud of."

"For me, who is so mediocre, and suddenly someone likes me out of nowhere, I still feel like something is wrong."

Saying this, Guinevere suddenly recalled that Arturia had asked herself during the second simulation:

"Guinevere, why would you want to travel with a goblin like me who has mediocre magic power, origin, appearance, and even character?"

She must have mustered up a lot of courage to ask that question.

Because she knew that as long as she asked that question, no matter what kind of ugly things were buried in Guinevere's heart, they would be exposed in front of the "Elf's Eyes" when she answered.

However, at that time, in order to truly understand Guinevere, she still asked.

The only good thing is that whether it was simulation or reality, Guinevere never harbored any ill will towards her for a moment, he just liked her.

But there was no awareness or affection in that love.

He is just a nerd who simply likes his paper figurine wife, and that love is essentially the same as his love for his own models or figures.

However, this love, which is the most worthless in human society, has become the purest heart seen in the evil fairy country.

Guinevere felt a little heavy.

A lucky childhood can heal a lifetime, but an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal.

Is he really ready to cure Artoria's unfortunate childhood?

Is his love for Artoria really worthy of her love for him that she wants to save him at all costs?

Even a moment's hesitation in answering this question is outright hypocrisy.

Of course he didn't.

Whether it's awareness or ability, he doesn't have it.

So, he quickly became frightened.

She was afraid of the moment she let Artoria down, and feared the future when she would discover the truth that she was nothing more than a dead house lost to everyone.

Just thinking about that kind of future made him feel horrified.

In fact, he may not be so afraid of pain or being hurt.

Compared to that, he was more afraid of being discovered as his own uselessness and patheticness, and he was even more afraid of the disappointed look on his face by the person he liked.

It’s better not to do that kind of thing.

This is why he has always been extremely afraid, and at the same time he also extremely hates being overestimated by others and being raised to a level that is not his own.

He hates when others disappoint him, hates when other people's expectations are let down.

Therefore, this time, he naturally made a choice that was very consistent with the character of a dead otaku.

--escape.

As long as she never starts anything, she will never discover her own patheticness and mediocrity.

"So...in order not to disappoint her, I think it would be better for us not to meet again."

"So, I'm sorry. If possible, please help me tell her that I have never met her. Although I don't know what she likes about me...but I am not as great a guy as she imagined. .”

"Then...goodbye."

Yes, he really still likes to stay in his comfort zone, without burdening anyone's hopes or being expected by anyone. This is the best.

After bidding farewell to Oberon, Guinevere hurriedly stood up and left this small goblin tavern.

After he left, Oberon still sat there, making no move for a long time.

After a long silence, he reached out and picked up the only glass of wine on the table, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.

"No wonder Artoria fell in love with an ordinary guard like you for no reason..."

"Be it your talent in dark cooking or your twisted personality with inexplicable low self-esteem, you two are really similar."

"However, if just escaping can solve the problem, then many things will not be so difficult."

At this time, a white shadow flew from outside the tavern and landed next to Oberon.

"You're back, Blanca. Did you mark him? It was really hard work."

"Is this okay? Well, I did a little exploring and I feel like she's still okay. It suits her very well."

Oberon stretched out his hand, gently touched the white moth's head, and said with a smile:

"In that case, please go find Artoria again and bring her to the person she likes."

"There's nothing you can do about it. After all, she's sure of something. Even ten cows can't pull her back, right?"

"In that case, just give her a little help. I will definitely stand on the side of my idiot disciple."

"How is it?" It wasn't until Blanca turned into a shadow and flew out of the window again that Mike, who was always out of the situation, finally came over, looked at Oberon expectantly and asked, "This cocktail is delicious. ?"

"Well,"

Oberon lowered his head and took another look at the strange-colored liquid. After thinking for a few seconds, Oberon smiled and said:

"To be honest, it's not as bad as I thought...but I still don't recommend you learn his bartending skills, right?"

"However, if you can find one, it is still necessary to find a similar teacher to learn how to make cocktails,"

Oberon smiled meaningfully:

"After all, many times, you can't just change if you want to."

"You still need someone to push you from behind, right?"

Chapter 99 Boar Princess, charge! (5k7)

With Artoria's character, she would not give up easily even if she couldn't find her for a while, so she would probably be searching in Salisbury for many days.

In this case, I am afraid that I will have to leave for a long time this time. Fortunately, the money Coral gave him is actually much more than his monthly salary. Even if he buys enough supplies, he will still have some leftover. .

As for the next route... the British wilderness is still very dangerous for the time being. With Guinevere's current three-legged cat skills, he definitely cannot sleep in the wild for a long time. He must find a city as a stable base.

The one in Manchester must be excluded, and there is no need to choose the reason. In Oxford, if the human status is relatively low, it must be excluded. In the royal capital of Camelot, there are too many so-called superior goblins who are condescending, and they are killing humans. I don't have any scruples at all, and it's not suitable. Sheffield is a good place, but the distance is a bit far, and it's not suitable...

After much deliberation, the only nearby city you can go to is Gloucester. Although the consumption level is a bit higher, it is no problem if you don't live there for a long time. Moreover, in that city where everyone is targeting LV1, he can make a big difference. of.

While quickly searching for the things he needed to buy in the market, Guinevere was planning his future route.

Then, before he finally finished purchasing all the items and was about to leave Salisbury, his sight was suddenly locked by something on a glass counter.

That's a shiny hair accessory.

There is no doubt that it is Eckert's work.

With just one glance, Guinevere was sure of this.

Because this hair accessory appeared too many times in his previous simulations.

"Oh, my guest, you really know the goods. You selected the most special item as soon as you came up."

Suddenly, he heard the clerk's voice behind him, and Guinevere suddenly came back to his senses. Before he knew it, he had walked into the store, and his hand unconsciously held up the hair accessory.

"The origin of this hair ornament is not ordinary. You should know Tintagel, right? It is the small village that harbors the Son of Prophecy. It was the village that was wiped out by the patrol led by Lord Woodworth of Oxford just two days ago. "

After glancing around furtively a few times, the clerk approached Guinevere and whispered:

"Let me tell you secretly, this hair accessory was found there. Maybe it is a hair accessory related to the Child of Prophecy? If you buy it, you can probably get a little bit of good luck from the future queen, right?"

"—"

To be honest, until the clerk said those words, he had never considered buying this hair accessory.

Because there were too many reasons not to buy it: the price of this hair accessory was very expensive and he couldn't afford it with the money he had on hand. Moreover, Artoria had nothing to do with her at all. He had already made up his mind to say goodbye to Artoria. , and in order for Artoria to stop sacrificing herself for something that is not worth her effort, he must avoid any contact with her anymore, so if he buys this hair accessory, it will make Artoria Ya, she will never be able to find this hair accessory again...

However, there were so many reasons not to buy in his mind, but after the clerk's words, he still subconsciously calculated the remaining coins on his hand and negotiated the price with the clerk:

"——Your price is a rip-off, isn't it? This thing isn't worth so much at all, is it?"

"Hey, guest, don't be joking. This was found from the ruins of Tintagel..."

"Are you kidding me? This hair accessory of yours is unlucky. It smells like blood... You found it from a dead goblin, right? How can such a hair accessory bring good luck?"

"this....."

Hearing this, the clerk's face suddenly changed. He had no idea where Guinevere saw the smell of blood...but they happened to be members of the patrol under Woodworth. The other party was really right about the items he got in his hands.

"Having said that, it is still possible that this thing belongs to the child of prophecy. If the child of prophecy really becomes a queen in the future, he might be rewarded heavily if he presents it..."

"Do you believe this yourself?" Guinevere glanced at him sideways. "Although this small jewelry looks bright and beautiful, is it actually just a fake? It's just that the craftsmanship of the caster is very good, so it looks good. Like really luxurious jewelry..."

These are just sample goods. This sentence was said by the foundry Eckert himself. They were goods he prepared in batches for a celebration in a nearby village... But what the clerk said was indeed right. Just to bargain, Guinevere just opened his eyes and started telling lies:

"Please, you also know that that is the child of prophecy who will become the queen in the future. She must be a shining and beautiful fairy who can be recognized at a glance when standing in the crowd. Why do you think that the child of prophecy will Wearing such a shabby thing?”

However, unfortunately, his words were heard by a girl who hurried to the door under Blanca's guidance.

"—"

Subconsciously, Artoria retracted her steps into the store and quickly hid in a corner before anyone noticed her.

"Wu?"

Blanca retracted her wings and stayed in front of her. She looked up at Arturia with some confusion, only to see a pair of eyes that suddenly dimmed.

...Sure enough, Guinevere was also full of expectations for the prophecy child at first.

Holding the staff tightly in her arms, Arturia lowered her head.

Yes, if this is the case, it would be normal. Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why he had so much goodwill toward him in the first place. He must have deeply believed in the Son of Prophecy.

Presumably, he must have been disappointed when he first saw him.

I am very disappointed that the son of the prophecy is just a goblin, but even so, because he is such a good person, even if he is such a useless person, he will not feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart, and even try to find ways to do it. to comfort her.

...I am really stupid. Although I have fairy eyes, I didn't even notice this.

What's worse than the person you like showing disappointment to you is that he is obviously disappointed but doesn't show it at all...just so as not to hurt you.

"I'm still, what an idiot..."

Arturia murmured softly.

Speaking of which, why did he have to keep Guinevere by his side?Staying with her will only bring misfortune to Guinevere.

He is obviously such a great guy... A good person like him should be able to live a good life no matter where he is.

If you really want to make him happy, shouldn't you avoid contact with him from the beginning?

Yes indeed,

It was never Guinevere who couldn't live without her, it was clearly her who couldn't live without Guinevere.

At this moment, Blanca suddenly fluttered her wings in front of Artoria. Artoria was stunned. She poked her head out of the corner, only to see that Guinevere had finished bargaining and handed him over. When you buy what you want, you have to leave the store.
