The problem is with the face of the guy with the ahoge (a type of hair sticking up). Why does it look so much more mature, with a more mature charm and allure?

Why does the inner lining at the top of the thighs look like it's too short, exposing the delicate skin?

And why are there also openings on the shoulders, exposing the shoulders and smooth armpits?

Not to mention that because there wasn't enough fabric, her upper chest was exposed...

My cat's hair tuft can't be less than...

Tell me quickly, where did that flat-chested, hairy king go?

Although I had seen the art of Lancer Artoria before, seeing it in real life still made me want to complain.

This is definitely the lining of the Knight King's uniform, and not some kind of prostitute's outfit, or some kind of clothing specifically designed to attract otaku.

As if hearing Shuoyue's inner monologue, Artoria blushed, her regal aura vanished, and she sheathed her gun, coughing lightly.

"please wait for a moment."

The holy spear, shining with brilliant light, dissipated into particles of light. At the same time, a pretty girl holding a holy sword emerged from the light mist of the spirit particles, her hair tied up, dignified and beautiful.

Looking at the wide-eyed, incredulous Sakumo, Artoria, who had reverted to her sword-dazed form, pursed her lips in slight distress and waved her hand in front of him.

"What, don't you recognize this look yet, Shuoyueqing?"

With a 'snap', her hand was grabbed, and the young man in the black robe stepped forward, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

"My king, can you ever change back to your original appearance?"

"Huh? Yes, that's fine, as long as the Holy Lance is released..."

"But how did you do that? If I remember correctly, your body was solidified by the Sword in the Stone, and you've maintained the posture of a 1.54-meter-tall girl..."

"Don't talk about height! I have to thank Merlin for that; he asked me if I wanted to grow up to look like that."

As Artoria spoke, she secretly tried to break free from Shuoyue's grasp, but his strength was surprisingly great. Even with her B-level strength, she couldn't break free and could only blush slightly as she continued in a low voice:

"After the Fourth Holy Grail War, I let go of my inner turmoil. Since I chose to relinquish my duties as king, there was no need for pretense anymore, so I agreed to Merlin's request... Ah, speaking of which, this outfit was also altered for me by Merlin, otherwise I would still be worrying about what clothes to wear when I grow up."

Okay, case solved.

Shuoyue withdrew her hand, her lips twitching even more violently.

From the clueless "Cotton Blanket King" (who wore more and more clothes) to the insightful "White Gunner" and "Northern Hemisphere"—I knew the ahoge had changed so much!

Can clothes meant for a 1.54-meter tall woman be worn by a 1.73-meter tall mature woman? Is Avalon out of resources or what? Merlin, you old bastard, are you doing this on purpose? Are you just taking advantage of the fact that the ahoge (antenna-like hair stick) is so innocent and easy to bully in matters of the sexes, so you're doing whatever you want?

Shuoyue didn't hesitate to condemn such behavior of deceiving innocent girls. However, when she recalled Bai Qiangdai's seductive posture, she couldn't help but blush and give a thumbs up to the old rogue hiding in Avalon who was smirking.

Although I hate to admit it, Avalon Sword Saint, you did a great job!

The changes to the ahoge's appearance have come to an end. With a great battle imminent, there is no time for the king and the knight to reminisce.

Not to mention that now one is an assassin and the other is a judge.

"Your Majesty, what's going on with your class?" Since it was her own Servant, Shuoyue didn't hide anything and asked directly, "This isn't Chaldea, and I didn't perform any illegal summoning. The Arbitrator shouldn't have been summoned by the Master."

“Yes, I was supposed to respond to the summons with my class.” Artoria nodded and explained, “But before I left, Merlin said that since it was a rare trip, I should bring more good things with me, so he changed my Spirit Origin to [class name missing].

Was it Merlin who made the changes?

"Hmm, what's wrong, Shuoyueqing?"

"No, it's okay."

Opening the Servant panel as the Master, and staring at Artoria's dazzlingly luxurious equipment, Sakuyue fell silent.

The Noble Phantasms of the highest rank, the Holy Lance Rungominiad and the Holy Sword EX Excalibur, the C-rank but exceptionally useful Wind King Barrier... Even more frightening is that the EX-rank Barrier Noble Phantasm, the scabbard that can withstand EA damage—the distant Utopia was also brought out by the ahoge!

Even if it's a dowry, that's still going too far!

"This...My King, what's the deal with the sword sheath?"

"Oh, you mean that? Merlin retrieved it for me after the Fourth Holy Grail War."

Very well, it's Merlin again. Although that damned Nightmare is utterly inhuman, he's really dedicated when it comes to Ahoge.

Is this what you call bringing more good stuff? This is clearly bringing all the Noble Phantasms! The current ahoge is totally super-shining level in terms of combat power!

What if the summoned Servant is stronger than me...?

There was another point that Shuoyue did not mention to Artoria, which was the issue of changing the Spirit Origin.

From Ahoge's perspective, Merlin was practically an omnipotent magician, so naturally no one would doubt him. But Sakumoku was different; he understood the rules and system of the Holy Grail War.

Are class classes something that can be changed at will? Merlin is not a beast, nor does he possess bug-level rune magic, not to mention that his modified spirit origin is the most unique one.

Merlin, as a Grand Master candidate, simply couldn't have expanded the Spirit Origin of the ahoge (antennae of the ahoge) to allow her to manifest with so many high-level Noble Phantasms.

So, was it a restraining force from the planet and humanity that intervened?

Meanwhile, Artoria frowned as she looked at Shuoyue, who was dressed in a black robe and had a much colder demeanor.

Even though she met Sakumoku in her Chaldea Servant form, from Artoria's perspective, the Fourth Holy Grail War was nothing more than a real dream.

She was the familiar new moon in her dream, and when the dream ended, she called for Merlin's arrival and accepted the guidance of the paradise of Avalon. The legend of King Arthur came to a complete end, and the story of Artoria was rewritten.

A thousand years have passed since she accepted the summons of the new moon and descended to earth.

Perhaps the span of time was too long, and the faces of her old friends were no longer clear, but Artoria's intuition told her that the young man in front of her was different from before.

Hmm, the pleasant scent emanating from him has faded considerably (around the round table), but a suspicious, unpleasant aura has increased, and there seems to be a mark left by that old man from the mountain...

At this moment, Shuoyue spoke, interrupting Artoria's thoughts.

"I am glad to have your help, but my king, let's deal with other issues first, such as—"

The young man turned his head and finally looked at the 'mother and son' he had just recognized in the room.

“Master Rokudo Reika, and your Servant Jack the Ripper, I need you to state your position.”

A fist-shaped gun appeared, and Shuoyue skillfully twirled the grip, her tone calm yet brimming with murderous intent:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind eliminating you first."

When she was young, Artoria admired Merlin and even mistakenly thought she liked him in "The Garden of Avalon". But the more she watched, the more she hated Merlin. In the middle of the game, Artoria looked at Merlin as if he were trash (see Merlin's voice lines for details). Tsk tsk.

Chapter 390 The Deal with the World Tree

Chapter 391 The Deal with the World Tree

Although the options appear to be provided, she is actually facing a single-choice question.

When the new moon summoned Artoria, she made no attempt to conceal it. Whether she liked it or not, she heard the Servant's class and true name, which is a major taboo for any master-servant pair.

Just like when facing Jack, if Rokudou Reika were to utter a single 'no,' she would be mercilessly killed by Sakugetsu, along with her servants.

Not to mention that she had staked her own life on this, in exchange for Shuoyue's help and treatment.

—When Liudao Lingxia finally realized these things, it was after she had signed a self-mandatory certificate with Shuoyue and received a popular science education on the Holy Grail War.

"In other words, I exist as the second Master of the Blue faction, to assist you, the first Master and Servant of the Blue faction, in winning this Holy Grail War, right?"

To better understand this large amount of information, Liu Daolingxia even took out her small notebook and carefully took notes.

"The Holy Grail is currently in the hands of the Red Team, namely the Yggdrasil faction in Romania, while the Black Team consists of the extermination teams sent by the Mage's Association and the Holy Church. As for us, the Blue Team..."

"After testing, Vlad III did not discover my identity and only regarded me as a mysterious Servant sent by the Mage's Association. In other words, our Blue faction was concealed by the Holy Grail because of our small number of people."

Shuoyue snapped her fingers, explaining not only to Liudao Lingxia but also to Artoria about the current situation.

"Just like playing Werewolf, we are the 'wolves' lurking among the villagers, while the villagers are busy fighting to the death and have no idea that 'wolves' have infiltrated."

“This is quite different from Werewolf…” Artoria muttered, but then she saw Jack skipping over to her side, his icy blue eyes fixed on her without blinking. Suddenly, he nodded in agreement, revealing a childlike, innocent smile.

"Mother."

“Um, I am…” Artoria responded instinctively, but quickly realized something was wrong and her eyes widened in shock. “No! I, I’m not your mother!”

"Waaah." Hearing the ahoge's panicked yet resolute denial, little Jack pouted pitifully, tears welling up in his pure eyes.

Although he has already recognized Lingxia Liu as his mother, for Jack the Ripper, who is a collection of vengeful spirits, the more mothers the better, right?

Unfortunately, she suffered a crushing defeat with the second 'mother,' and as for the third 'mother'...

Little Jack glanced at Shuoyue, only to see the young man looking at her with a half-smile, his golden eyes reflecting a deadly rainbow light.

There aren't many ways to purify vengeful spirits, but the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is definitely one of them.

"Wow QAQ!"

Just because he glanced at her once more, Little Jack burst into tears, hiding back in Director Lingxia's soft embrace, refusing to look up no matter what.

"Okay, little Jack, be a good boy/girl. These two are good people and won't hurt us."

Liu Daolingxia was both amused and exasperated. She put down her pen and paper and gently coaxed the wailing little Jack. Artoria thought it was her own fault and looked at Shuoyue with some shame, only to find that Shuoyue was also clutching her chest, deep in thought.

"Master?"

"It's nothing, I was thinking about something else." Shuoyue gently touched her chest, feeling the warmth of the Six Command Seals.

Command Seals can appear not only on the back of the hand. In Nasu's earlier works, which is the prototype of FSN, the famous Root Princess Aika Sajyo had her Command Seals on the center of her chest.

Not to mention Jeanne d'Arc, the true ruler of this battle, whose Command Seals are branded on her back like the wings of a seraph.

But why did his Command Seals change?

Suppressing her doubts, Shuoyue raised her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then looked at Liudao Lingxia.

"I have already told you about the Holy Grail War. Without further ado, let's begin preparations."

"Yes."

After undergoing a baptism that shattered her worldview, Liu Daolingxia once again revealed her extraordinary side.

Putting aside the fact that Liu Daolingxia, who was just an ordinary person a day ago, was still able to remain calm after going through so much, and also not mentioning that after learning the real name of 'Jack the Ripper,' she was only briefly surprised before accepting Little Jack.

Even though Shuoyue described to her a fierce battlefield where countless heroes competed, Liudao Lingxia simply nodded calmly, patiently awaiting the start of the operation.

Lacking self-protection against the unknown, and devoid of worry or hesitation about the future, perhaps it was precisely these traits that made her and Little Jack the most vicious master and servant in the original work, unleashing a bloodbath in Romania.

—This woman's personality is very suitable for the Holy Grail War, more so than most Masters of the Yggdrasil family. With her as an aid, things will be much easier for me.

This is precisely why Shuoyue gave up her murderous intent and chose Liudao Lingxia, an ordinary person.

Remove Hades' cloak and hand it to Artoria to wear; Rokudou Reika takes the card given to her by Shuoyue and whispers the release phrase for "Dream Summoning"; Shuoyue stands at the forefront and uses the "Aura Concealment" skill; Little Jack summons a thick fog from London to obscure Shuoyue's appearance.
