A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 229 The King's Feast
"Miss Artoria, is this your 'Sword of Victory and Oath'?"

When News King saw this female knight, a certain thought flashed through his mind. However, seeing her in real life instead of an anime made him instinctively think it was impossible. But as it turns out, the woman in front of him was the 'unthinkable' King of the Round Table Knights!
News King before,
He was arrested for promoting the 'Holy Grail War'.

Now, facing the true 'King,' let his bird-like face display a riot of colors.

Will I encounter Susanoo in the future?

No, I don't want that kind of thing!
"The Sword of Victory and the Oath?"

The girl wiping her longsword shook her head slightly. The longsword in her hand was not fancy; it was just an ordinary two-handed sword.

"I have already asked Bedivere to return that sword to the lake spirit."

Saying,

She sheathed the ordinary longsword in her hand.

"Please don't worry, even without the 'Holy Sword', I can still fight."

Legend has it that after killing his eldest son Mordred, a heartbroken King Arthur entrusted his sword to his knight Bedivere, asking him to return it to the Lake Spirit: a king who loses his sword is as good as dead.

It seems that this Artoria has already killed the eldest son and lost the Holy Sword.
"Don't worry, don't worry!"

As these thoughts crossed his mind,
The news anchor nodded repeatedly; how could he possibly be worried?

As an ACG enthusiast, if the 'King' before me is truly like the one in the anime, he would at least be a powerful figure from Bakujo—mainly considering that Fuyuki City has not disappeared.

Even without the 'Sword of Victory', he is still a top-tier powerhouse.

We've got this in the bag!

?

This familiar gesture,
This caused Pegasus Nozomi and Machii Isao to exchange glances.

This "news king" seems to idolize "Artoria" and has blind faith in her abilities.

Tenma hopes to be engrossed in fighting, while Machii Isao is a master swordsman. Neither of them watches much anime, so naturally they don't know anything about the "Holy Grail War".

"We're guaranteed to win!"

Emerging from the room, Birdman 'News King' immediately flapped his wings excitedly.

"It's my king! I didn't even realize it at first!"

"So, you know this 'Artoria'?"

Under the "News King's" gaze that seemed to regard the aliens, Tenma Nozomi and Machii Isao remained calm.

"You're right too,"

Recalling the identities of these two individuals, News King rubbed his bird-like face.

Everyone only understands their own field. It's normal for the two combat masters in front of us not to know 'Our King'.

"This is indeed King Arthur from British legend. He is serious, upright, confident, and his fighting ability is definitely top-tier. You don't have to worry about him having all sorts of weird hobbies like other countries' 'great heroes'."

If I had to pinpoint it, it would be the 'big eater' aspect?
But which supernatural being isn't a glutton? Just liking food, what's wrong with that?

"Just to point out something,"

Pegasus hopes to extend his index finger and point it at the News King.

"According to you, we're the ones who've already won, without you."

? ?
So shocked that his mouth gaped open.
News King only belatedly realized what was happening.

"Yes, my teammates are Siegfried and Dietrich, those two heroes who can transform into giants."

And our king's teammates are these two fighters/sword saints in front of us, who have absolutely no interest in ACG. Thinking about it this way:
"It doesn't matter,"

Anyway, the 'News King' had no fighting ability to begin with.
When he was truly needed to step into the ring, he proved that Siegfried and Dietrich had already lost: he won two out of three matches and surrendered immediately.

"Ah, what a pity, why did I—"

The competition is secondary; not being able to stay with our king is causing the 'News King' immense heartache.

"Alright, alright, go find your 'big news'."

After dismissing the 'News King' with a wave of his hand, Pegasus returned to his room and smiled, nodding slightly to the female knight.

"Artoria, I never imagined you were King Arthur."

"Feel sorry,"

The female knight sincerely apologized to Pegasus for what he hoped to say.

"I didn't mean to deliberately hide my past, it's just..."

"It's alright, I was just a little surprised."

Pegasus hoped that he would only be surprised.
The mighty King of Great Britain was actually a young girl: In mythology, King Arthur had golden hair as dazzling as the sun, a voice clearer and more melodious than that of a bard, emerald-green eyes, and a delicate face that could easily captivate women.

Surprisingly, it fits the female knight in front of him perfectly.

"In order to become king, I have to disguise myself as a man most of the time, which has caused you to misunderstand."

"Speaking of this—"

To ease the tension, Pegasus wanted to take the initiative and reveal the truth himself.
"Actually, I used to be a woman."

?

"This appearance is the result of being distorted by the demonic sword."

For Pegasus Hope, whether she is male or female is not important: in fact, her strength has increased by 30%, which can be regarded as making up for her physical deficiency.

"Just to clarify, I am male."

Machii Isao picked up the conversation, also expressing indifference to gender: his regret was that his daughter couldn't inherit his swordsmanship.

Having become a woman, she is now preparing to personally test whether she can reach the pinnacle.

"The changes in my body are also due to the distortion of the demonic sword."

? ?
"you--"

Artoria thought for a moment,

"They say it's the same demonic sword?"

Nod, ×2
this.
Two teammates,

They were all people with distorted gender identities.

However, Artoria didn't dwell on it too much because:
"Gender is just a superficial thing; both of you are trustworthy warriors."

———— Tokyo,

Metropolitan Police Department Inspector's Office.

[It's actually 'Our King'?]

【My King is the best! Artoria is invincible!】

[Wait, what does Your Majesty mean? Are you all English?]

No, that's what the anime community says. This Artoria is very similar to a certain anime depicting King Arthur.

The live stream on the table was flooded with comments, and Director Fujita had already quickly skimmed through the plot of "Fate/stay night" at eight times the playback speed: the ritual in which seven groups of magicians and Servants compete for the Holy Grail War through contracts.

"So, aside from the fact that this King Arthur was a woman disguised as a man, he actually fits the legend surprisingly well?"

"That's how it seems at the moment, Director."

Compared to those other 'perverts', this 'Artoria' is as normal as a lotus emerging from water.

But regardless of whether it's perverse or not, as 'News King' conducts interviews everywhere, a large amount of information gradually comes together.

The following forces have emerged:

Holding a tablet, Miyako Hana introduces the powerful beings from the other world who have already appeared.

"First, there is 'Siegfried' who is attached to the dragon. He is the prince of the Netherlands and the great hero who slays the dragon."

Unfortunately, he keeps talking about virginity all the time; he's just a walking, talking sex machine.

Of course, it's nothing. He's a great hero, after all. There are plenty of people willing to sleep with him, even if they're using Rei's body.

"The prerequisite for all of this is his weapon: the dragon-slaying holy sword 'Balmunk'."

Able to distort gender,

Several supernatural experts from the island nation have fallen victim to this.

"Their teammate is Italy's 'perfect knight' Dietrich, who has severe masochistic tendencies and wields a magic sword that grows larger with pain: Exzax."

As for 'News King'?
No one ever considered him a combatant.

"Then, there's Beowulf's camp."

At this point, Hana twitched the corner of her mouth; this guy was just too manly.

"Possessing the greatsword 'Grendel': Legend has it that due to the corruption of the monster 'Poison Blood', only the hilt and the gem should remain of this sword."

This sword was a 'divine savior' that Beowulf discovered in the underwater lair of Mother Grendel when he was on the verge of defeat. It was by using the properties of this sword that Beowulf was able to successfully kill the sea monster.

"And the ancestral divine sword 'Naglin'."

This sword is the symbol of Beowulf's kingship: it accompanied him for over fifty years.

"The last, third sword, has no legends."

But once anyone witnessed Beowulf separating Machii Isao from 'Gouchen' in battle, no one doubted his formidable strength.

In a sense,
It is the 'divine sword' that every man dreams of.

Can he use his brother's parking wheel? Where is he fighting with his brother's terrifying weapon?
"Beowulf's teammates are Vigraf and Matsumoto Jinbe."

In theory, as the 'King' of Kytland, Beowulf should have a large retinue of followers and knights, and wouldn't need to team up with 'outsiders', but in reality:

"Legend has it that when Beowulf was fighting the dragon, he called upon his men, but all of them were intimidated by the dragon's might. Only one young man bravely stepped forward and helped the king kill the dragon."

This young man is Vigraf.

"Vigraf has a short sword in his hand that can slay dragons."

It was with the short sword provided by Vigraf that Beowulf was able to kill the dragon.

As for Jinpei Matsumoto, the Metropolitan Police Department created a special file for him, which contains a complete record of his life from childhood to adulthood.

"Then there is the third force:"

"Attila the Hun!"

This is all thanks to the interview by 'News King'; otherwise, the Metropolitan Police Department would have been completely in the dark.

"This was the leader and emperor of the Huns, a nomadic people in ancient Eurasia. He attacked the Balkan Peninsula three times and once besieged Constantinople, ultimately forcing the Byzantine Empire to sign a peace treaty with him and pay annual tribute."

The mighty Roman Empire had to pay taxes every year?!

It can be said to be the pain of all Western European civilizations, and it has been given all sorts of infamy: brutality, plunder, bloodthirst, and evil.
In Dante's Divine Comedy, Attila appears in the seventh circle of purgatory, submerged in a boiling river of blood, and is known as the 'Scourge of the World'.

"However, judging from the process of 'News King's' contact with him,"

"This Xiongnu king is more like a shrewd businessman, a generous leader, and..."

A lover of married women?
Compared to those 'great heroes' before, this hobby is nothing at all.

"His teammates are a swordsman named 'Mulan' and Wood Spirit No. 17."

Wood Spirit No. 17
It can be considered a 'famous' existence in the supernatural world.

Active in the Takatsuki City area, he is clearly very strong, yet he is extremely cautious. He is someone that adventurers seeking 'spirit fruits' least want to encounter, as they can neither defeat him in a fight nor escape him, and even traps and schemes are often ineffective.

"Since she was invited to participate in the 'Rose Garden Competition,' it proves that her strength has reached the C level."

A normal Wood Spirit should be at Rank D.

"Well, it's a pity that News King isn't one of our people."

Director Fujita sighed.

They were naturally eager to know why Number 17 had become so strong.

However, 'News King' is not under the Metropolitan Police Department, so there's no reason for him to specifically investigate a certain target for them.

In fact, a certain monk also received an invitation, but he refused to show his face in public.

"Then, there's the team that includes Ms. Pegasus and Machii Kensei."

These two are old acquaintances, and their teammate is the lone 'Knight King' Artoria: a female version of King Arthur—no, according to 'Artoria', she usually dresses as a man, so perhaps King Arthur was originally a woman?

As for that 'Gou Chen'
The island nation has mixed feelings.
I both hope he suffers a loss and fear he'll be trapped in another world.

With so many 'kings' gathered together, who will be the final victor?

Since it takes place in another world, Director Fujita, unusually, put aside his thoughts and eagerly prepared to watch the show.
