Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Weber: "Moriarty is indeed a dangerous person."

The Second Prince said, "This is a case of using someone else to do one's dirty work. Even Sherlock Holmes might not be able to convict him."

Rin Tohsaka: "But I didn't expect Moriarty to be competing with Steam King to be Frankenstein's father."

Fiore: "Fran is so cute, I'm sure a lot of people like her."

Ken: "Hmm?"

Koles: "Hmm? Is there another video?"

It was a world without a concept of time, without morning or evening, without sun or moon, only the faint aurora borealis, forever illuminating the sky.

The world remains unchanged; the vast ocean is calm, and the clouds in the sky are still.

The dragon living in this world looked at this desolate world and slowly closed its eyes.

[Simply close your eyes, and all you'll see are precious memories.]

That was a past worth boasting about, one that could be repeated thousands or tens of thousands of times without getting tired of it.

Day after day, the dragon waited, waiting for someone who would one day visit this place.

That would prove that humanity has ascended to the heavens.

"It would be great if it were someone I know."

It just kept praying, passing each day in boredom.

The dragon's body is extremely insensitive to time; it neither gets hungry nor needs to sleep, and can only pass the days in a daze.

And so it goes—waiting, while being chased.

[Awaiting the punishment called hope, pursued by the gospel called despair.]

Chapter 379 The Emperor with Bad Luck

(Updates have resumed. I was supposed to take a three-day break, but I spent all 200+ Saint Quartz I had saved up trying to pull for Kama, and it all failed. I'm completely devastated, and I guess I have no hope of getting Princess next month.)

Joan of Arc: "Is this... Sieg?"

Zieg: "..."

Siegfried: "It seems he's been waiting for many years."

Afu: "No one's with me, just all alone..."

Over the years, it has often wondered: how many disputes have occurred since then, how many people have grieved, and how many innocent lives have been lost as a result?

Every time I think about this, I almost wonder if I've done something wrong.

However, at times like this, it would remember her words about believing in itself.

[Despite such profound despair, the saint's words remained unyielding.]

I see. That must have been inevitable.

Siegfried: "Very good, Sieg-kun."

Siegfried: "He was not crushed by the years and was able to hold on to his original intentions."

Sieg: "Yes!"

I am very ordinary, with almost no outstanding qualities. When it comes to areas where I am inferior to others, I can't even count them all on two hands.

It is aware that it is simply incredibly lucky, which is why it believes it.

If someone like me can get here, surely someone else, unknown to us, can too.

[Countless ordinary, average, and uncountable individuals are born and die. Foolish people who, despite harboring dreams of continuous downward correction, still weep for the sake of moving forward.]

It is precisely because of this that they are able to take that powerful step. They do not rely on great heroes pulling them by the hand, nor on saints pushing them from behind; they take that step forward solely through their own will.

It believes that humanity holds this very hope, and that such humanity will one day—

"Please get up."

A crisp sound rang out; it was neither a hallucination nor a figment of the imagination, but truly existed there.

Despite hoping that someone would eventually come, the dragon opened its eyes in disbelief. What it saw there eased its senses.

She kept her promise and came here.

He narrowed his eyes, noticing that she looked almost exactly the same as when they first met; it seemed his mission was now complete.

The unchanging world began to turn, and the outstretched hand remained unchanged. And the hand that grasped that hand was just as it had been years ago.

"Ah, just as she said."

The girl looked at the hand she was holding and couldn't help but shed tears.

The girl felt as if she had finally understood the feelings she had held in the distant past—feelings that were illusory, fragile, and vanished like bubbles.

And if you can cherish it forever—it's mostly for this moment.

"I will never leave you alone again."

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long. I've entrusted you with eternity, burdened you with countless tribulations, and there's nothing I can do even if I'm punished or cursed.

However, the boy would never do that; instead, he grasped her hand, looking very apologetic.

"Was the journey long?"

"It's been that long since I've had you."

"I'm just sitting here in a daze. It's boring, but not painful, because you said you'd come."

The boy said smugly, "The joy I feel isn't from the girl keeping her promise, but from the joy I feel from keeping my own promise."

From his perspective, it seemed only natural for the girl to keep her promise.

The girl held back her tears, clenching her hands tightly, simply savoring the joy.

"...Thank you, thank you so much."

"Okay, let's go then. I don't need to stay here anymore, right?"

The girl smiled, deciding she would never let go of his hand again, and expressed her feelings with a smile as radiant as a blooming flower.

【"--I love you."】

She grabbed the surprised boy's hand and started walking without waiting for his reply.

The purpose of your trip has been achieved, so let's embark on a new journey.

"Alright, let's go. The world is waiting for you."

Hearing the girl's words, the boy nodded shyly.

The two set off on their journey across the stars.

[Video ends.]

[This concludes the quiz. Stay tuned for the next one.]

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

Just as he expected, a sharp scream came from the group before it was shut down.

Bluebeard: "No!!!"

Snowflakes fluttered, the north wind howled, and the world was shrouded in a vast expanse of white.

Feng Xi consciously added background music to it.

"Ay Ya I gi!"

The three emperors who had not yet withdrawn were so shocked by the shout that their ears went numb, and they finally retreated a step later.

They are now only experiencing tinnitus and cannot hear anything.

It seems the group has been temporarily taken over by Bluebeard; it's best not to go in today.

Let's open our own golden treasure chest first.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the 'Noble Phantasm - Gate of Babylon' (of course, it's just the treasure vault, don't get the wrong idea)!"

"!!!"

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

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

Looking at the description, all I got was an empty treasure; there was nothing inside.

Unfortunately, he still wanted to experience a battle as extravagant as Gilgamesh's.

Oh well, I'm not losing out. I'll just consider it as having an extra large-capacity personal storage space.

Just then, my inventory was growing, and the storage gourd my master gave me was almost full.

"Is this the one that's all gold and shiny?"

The emperor, regaining his senses, saw the key in Feng Xi's hand and asked curiously.

"That's right, it's the Noble Phantasm version."

Feng Xi explained it to the three of them.
