Perhaps Sieg was really blessed by the god of luck. His destination was the most dangerous place in the entire battlefield, a duel arena where many servants gathered to fight. Any aftershocks could have destroyed this weak android without leaving any residue. A few more Dragon Fang soldiers could have hacked him to pieces, but he survived with only minor injuries.
The number of Dragon Fang soldiers surrounding him at the same time never exceeded three, and Sieg, who had found the trick, did not have much trouble dealing with them.
The magic storm caused by the collision between the top servants did not reach his direction. Even Spartacus, who was the most frantic and smashed and crushed countless golems, androids, and dragon-tooth soldiers, did not wreak havoc in his path.
The lucky android crossed most of the battlefield without any danger, although the journey was not smooth.
During this period, he heard Spartacus's terrifying roar several times and saw the light of destruction coming from the aerial courtyard several times.
His brain, his nerves, his sixth sense, and his survival instinct were all telling him that he could not go any further because it was too dangerous there, but his increasingly excited mood was driving his legs forward without stopping.
Want to see him.
I really want to meet him.
I really want to.
There was no clear motivation like wanting to save his companions, nor was there a clear drive like wanting to stay alive.
It was as if he was infected by the first person who extended a helping hand to him. He completely lost his rationality and moved towards the most dangerous place in the entire battlefield on impulse.
What was the purpose of looking for him? Why was he looking for him? He had never thought about such questions.
Ignorance, stupidity, arrogance - no matter how many words I use, I can't describe how outrageous I am. This is the first action I chose after gaining freedom. Black Rider must have sighed for this.
Even so, there is still a desire in my heart that drives me to act almost madly. I always want to do something, and I can't forget it no matter what, and I don't have the awareness to live a stable daily life.
Compared to that dream-like world, he had something much more important—he wanted to meet Black Rider and repay his kindness.
Even if he couldn't help at all, he didn't care. He made this choice despite knowing that Rider, who never expected him to do so, might sigh.
That's right, now that I have made the choice, I can't turn back. Because that is the most unacceptable behavior.
He took a deep breath - very scared. When he was almost killed before, he had no fear at all. But when he thought that what he had obtained might be lost again - he felt extremely scared.
However, this fear was ultimately no match for the madness that was spreading within him.
Teeth chattering.
Hands and feet become cold.
He had to grit his teeth and clench his hands which had become cold.
When he felt as if his entire body was losing temperature, a sudden turbulence came from the air and blew him to the ground. His whole body ached, as if his bones were about to be shaken apart. However, he did not show any expression of pain, but instead his face was full of joy.
It was certainly not because he had awakened some hidden attribute, nor was it because a gladiator not far away who enjoyed being hurt gave him some kind of gift, but because the culprit who caused this turbulence was the person he wanted to see, and he appeared right before his eyes.
He wanted to shout loudly, but the air flow was too strong and he couldn't open his mouth. He could only wave his hands vigorously, hoping that the man would notice him.
His efforts were not in vain. The knight, who fell in an extremely ugly posture, shook his head, muttering "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts" and "I didn't expect Assassin to have such a handsome partner. I must borrow him to ride next time." while climbing back onto the back of the Hippogriff.
As their gazes wandered unconsciously, the two pairs of eyes met.
One pair showed pure joy, the intensity of the emotion almost overflowing.
The other pair was confused for a moment, then quickly turned into doubt and shock, and finally with obvious anger.
"Hey, you—what are you doing here?"
"I—" Sieg opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
At this time, the wind pressure caused by the fall of the Hippogriff had dissipated. Sieg was speechless simply because he had too many things to say and too many emotions to vent. All of them piled up together, blocking his throat and making it impossible for him to start.
Seeing that Sieg didn't say anything, Astolfo's dissatisfaction became even more serious:
"Speak up, are you stupid?" (Are you qualified to criticize others?)
"Yeah, sorry, rider."
Sieg subconsciously began to apologize, saying that he was clumsy and didn't understand anything, and that he must be wrong if he was angry.
Unexpectedly, this attitude made Astolfo even more crazy.
"Ah-mo~ I can apologize or something, but why did you come here? Don't you know it's dangerous here?"
"I... I know..." Sieg whispered, "I... I... just want to see you, I, I don't know why... Is that not okay?"
As he spoke, Sigurd just looked at Astolfo, looked at him, and poured out all his emotions—joy, gratitude, relief, and dependence.
Astolfo lost his rationality, and was replaced by stronger emotions. Facing Sieg who was so attached to him, even though he was extremely dissatisfied, he couldn't vent it.
"You... you... ahhh, if you do this, won't all the efforts of me, Archer, and Assassin be in vain?"
When Astolfo thought of this, he felt helpless.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, but I want to help you."
"I didn't save you so that you could help me. We just wanted you to stay away from here and have a different life."
"I... I also want to help my fellow androids like me... Am I doing something wrong again?"
Sieg's shining eyes gradually lost their luster. Seeing this, Astolfo sighed and said, "No, you did the right thing this time. Did you save your companions?"
"Well, about half of my companions returned to the castle and no longer participated in the battle."
"Hey~ Isn't this a good job? The war has developed to this point, there is no room for the androids to intervene, and the red berserker is about to explode - oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
As he spoke, Astolfo looked up at the sky. The piece of meat between the pure white comet and the purple torrent was difficult to capture with the naked eye, but the violent magic power in it was getting stronger and stronger, already overwhelming the sum of the Pegasus and the magic cannon, and it could explode at any time.
"There's no time to explain. Come up quickly or it will be too late."
"Oh, oh." Sieg quickly got up from the ground and staggered onto the Hippogriff.
"Please, hold on a little longer, Hippogriff! It's all up to you from now on!"
The Hippogriff let out a fierce cry. After a few seconds, the all-destructive force erupted and raged wildly.
At the same time, the existence of the Hippogriff and Astolfo and Sieg riding on its back changed into a vague and ambiguous state, as if they could disappear from the world at any time.
Spartacus's final blow passed through them unhindered, but caused no harm to the two men and the beast.
Astolfo's hidden trump card, Hippogriff's true ability "Dimension Jump" finally came to light.
PS: Well, the Sieg chapter is basically over here. There are still a few hundred words in the next chapter to connect the plots of the black and red sides. If you like to watch Qi Fu Tang, there will be more in the future. If you don’t like it, don’t worry, Sieg will not have such a long role in the future.
PS2: I hope that after reading these three chapters, everyone’s perception of Qi Aotian can be changed, and everyone should be less critical of him in the future.
PS3: Jian Shao is a staunch harem fan. It’s amazing that a straight man would write this kind of plot... That can’t be said, Afu’s gender is Afu, and Sieg’s gender is Sieg, there’s nothing wrong with that.
PS4: Speaking of which, the grand prize winner of the latest Japanese Script Award actually went to Yuichiro Higashide, which is also very drunk.
