Honestly speaking, Shinji wasn't surprised by the idea of forming an alliance, as it was the basic operation of the Holy Grail War.
There is a certain basis for cooperation between him and Luvia, and with the presence of Karna and Scathach, two servants who are BUG-level in terms of both martial arts and insight, the situation of "smiling on the surface but acting like a loser in the heart; smiling on the surface but stabbing someone in the back" is basically eliminated.
In addition, the two people's attitude towards the Holy Grail is that it is good to get it, but it doesn't matter if they can't get it, so there is no essential conflict. Most things can be solved through negotiation, compromise, and concession. If they can really conclude an alliance, the subsequent cooperation will definitely be very pleasant.
While Luvia and Rin were arguing, Shinji was already thinking about the details of the alliance and the specific operations that would follow. For example, they would go together to kill Hercules - you see, Karna has taken off his armor and has revealed his God-killing Spear, it would be a pity not to use it. Even if he doesn't release his real name, the special attack on gods that comes with it is enough to give Haida Muzhu a hard time.
Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. I can return the gun you gave me. If you don't want it, you can exchange it for Indra's Thunder. Maybe it can be used in conjunction with the God-killing Gun. If you're still not satisfied, we can talk about it again.
However, Shinji never expected that Luvia would play such a trick.
What does a shy expression mean? When have you ever made such an expression, Miss Luvia
What else do you mean by "I did that" to you? What is that? I can't tell you, or I'll sue you for defamation.
Since Shinji had no intention of breaking off the alliance, he did not complain directly. He was a little confused, but asked politely: "Um, did I do anything to you?"
"You, you—" Luvia's eyes widened, as if she had heard something unbelievable, and she raised her hands tremblingly, "—you, you don't remember?"
Wow, this reaction is like I abandoned her after having sex with her, Shinji complained in his mind.
However, more shocking words are yet to come.
"That night, you, you broke into my room, yes, to me..."
"Wait, what did you do that night? It was unclean, so unclean!" Rin crossed her arms and looked at Shinji as if he was a scumbag.
By this time, Shinji finally guessed what Luvia was talking about.
Breaking into the room, most likely refers to the time when Shinji kicked the synthesizer too hard and broke the wall of Luvia's room. In order to prevent Luvia from being harmed by the synthesizer's power, he broke into her room and took her away. Although he was able to feast his eyes in the end, for European women, this is nothing at all, and he didn't really have sex with you.
"Hey, don't use such misleading words. First of all, it was an accident. Secondly, I broke in to save you. Finally, I didn't do anything to you. I just saw you in pajamas. Given your customs and cultural system, this shouldn't have any impact."
After being exposed, Luvia slapped her cheeks and quickly changed from a shy girl to a mature and steady noble lady - Sure enough, this guy was just acting. That's why Karna and Gilgamesh didn't care.
"But according to Eastern culture, this is a big deal. If you treat me like this, you should marry me and be responsible for me."
Lin couldn't hold back and burst out laughing: "What era of culture is this? Where on earth did you know all this?"
"Isn't it?" Luvia tilted her head and said blankly, "My friend Fiore told me about it and showed me a lot of related literary works."
Fiore—another familiar name. Just like Archer Karna not far away, it was not the same.
However, judging by Colles's appearance, not much has changed in the Fulvige household, nor in the environment in which Fiore has grown up.
The choice of giving up magic and running away from home is understandable. After all, Fiore has always wanted to walk on her own legs. In the absence of the Holy Grail, a universal wish-granting machine, it is normal for her to make a different choice.
But what about reading oriental classical literature? And recommending it to your friends? Isn't that too far off
This is even more exaggerated than the fact that Colles himself is a homebody like Waver... Could it be that all of this clan have homebodies in their bones? Did they awaken their special attributes without realizing it? Even Luvia was affected, and it was a wrong influence.
"I say, Luvia - you don't mind if I call you that."
Shinji explained after getting a nod from the girl who also had a blue color scheme.
"That is a feudal culture that has been outdated for many years. With the development of science and technology and the integration of cultures, the entire East has become more and more open. Especially in Japan where you are, the degree of openness may be higher than that of Europe. At least as far as I know, the relationship between men and women in certain classes in Japan is more chaotic than in Europe."
"I see." Luvia nodded in agreement, "Is this also the relationship between you and this country girl?"
"Ugh... cough cough"
Lin was originally enjoying the show with a mocking attitude, but he didn't expect the fire to suddenly burn himself. He fainted and almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"Don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with this guy. No, I have nothing to do with any male. I have never had a boyfriend!"
In a hurry, Lin directly revealed the explosive news! - Among Japanese female students, especially beautiful female students, it is not an exaggeration to say that they still have no boyfriends at this age.
"So you've never had a boyfriend." Luvia's laughter was full of a sense of superiority and contempt. "Maybe it's because you're too rustic and no one wants you."
Lin asked angrily, "So, what about you, a nouveau riche lady? How many boyfriends have you had?"
"Well... anyway, it's more than you." Luvia was stunned for a moment and said through gritted teeth.
But this subtle change in expression did not escape Lin's eyes, and a trace of disdain appeared on the latter's face: "How many more than me? One? Two? Or none at all!"
"This, this has nothing to do with you!" Luvia's expression could not hold back.
"It's not related, but I remember someone just mocked me... It turns out that everyone is the same."
"Gu..."
Perhaps she couldn't stand Rin's contemptuous look, or perhaps it was the mutual provocation between the rivals, or perhaps she was grabbing at a life-saving straw in panic, Luvia actually hugged the arm of the man next to her, Shinji.
"Maybe it was the same before, but it changed immediately. I decided to choose him as my boyfriend."
Why are you getting angry at me again? Director, did you get the wrong script again
Shinji was confused.
