@HOLYSWORDHERO "Not that serious--?"
He didn't even intend to sound so indignant, but the bandages around Arthur's arm were pulled a bit tighter as he spoke.
"It would not have been for me, but you? Honestly..." He sighed as he finally tied the dressed wound. "You needn't be so protective."
To condemn this Utsumi girl while claiming to understand me and enjoy my company is hypocrisy of the highest degree.
... She's 14 and I was summoned in my late 20's. Of course our expressions of pain differ. But the pain is all the same.
("I don't understand. I actively hide it all away, yet there's no reward for keeping from sin but that fleeting sense of accomplishment. I have tasted vice. It drowns the senses in bliss untold-- Why not pursue it?
I suppose... I have an hour 'til bed... Plenty of time.")
("It's enough to make a man look not just twice, but three times. What peak form, what stunning musculature. She is, doubtlessly, all that the epics sing praise of.
To worship a goddess is to give praise and offerings. I offer her my bared soul, and my praise with my tongue.")

Even when he was impaled by the Valkyrie's spear, he still maintained a decent composure. He wanted to say he wasn't Sigurd, but... Surely she knew. Instead, he just smiled.
"Your love... Is something I'll envy in the next life."
@HOLYSWORDHERO
He shouldn't have assumed the Beast Arthur sought to slay was anything like Beast I. As he's pinned and impaled to the ground beneath them by a giant claw, he looks at his hand to see it fading away.
"Ah..."
He looks back. Arthur. He must have seen it all +
