Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

She lowered her hand, reluctantly admitting her defeat in this confrontation.

She sensed a very familiar aura emanating from Arthur, but she couldn't quite place it; perhaps he was one of the Knights of the Round Table.

But after seeing his appearance, they had no recollection of the Knights of the Round Table ever having such a person.

Perhaps he's a knight whose skills aren't particularly outstanding.

With that thought in mind, she rushed forward, but unexpectedly, the car overturned.

"A Knight of the Round Table? You're a Knight of the Round Table?"

At this point, Arthur began to feel confused, as he did not recall her existence among the Knights of the Round Table.

I initially sensed a very familiar aura and thought it might be a descendant of one of the Knights of the Round Table, but it seems that's not the case.

However, upon hearing Arthur's question, she instantly became dissatisfied and puffed out her chest.

"I am Mordred, the only legitimate successor to King Arthur Pendragon."

Her voice was extremely loud, so much so that the surrounding residents looked at her with very strange eyes.

Their battle caused no damage, and the surrounding residents, after a brief exchange of glances, returned to their daily routines.

However, this outcome was all due to Arthur's guidance.

As a knight, he didn't want to destroy the entire street.

Therefore, during the battle with Mordred, they severely restricted and guided her attacks, minimizing her environmental damage.

It can only be said that his skills were extremely high. Even under such restrictions to prevent the streets from being destroyed, he still managed to win in a brief conflict.

After the battle ended, Shirou Emiya and the unusually fierce-looking man walked over.

“masterX2”

Two voices followed, one mature and steady, the other brisk and decisive.

They all stood beside their Masters.

"You still haven't told me your name!"

Mordred was intrigued by the man before him who possessed the quintessential chivalrous demeanor, if not for the fact that he was none of the Knights of the Round Table that Mordred knew.

She wouldn't just rush over and fight them. If it were a knight like Lancelot or Gawain, she might have made some threats and then come over that night for a fight.

Arthur, however, looked at Shirou Emiya beside him. Even so, he still believed that he needed his Master's permission to reveal his true name.

Emiya naturally nodded in agreement to his request.

"My real name is Arthur Pendragon, and I live in the world as Saber."

He answered Mordred with extreme gentleness, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.

Arthur seemed to understand the current situation.

However, the man standing next to Mordred looked at Arthur in utter shock, his mouth forming an "O" shape.

Then he looked at Mordred beside him, and then at Arthur.

"It does look somewhat similar."

He nodded in confirmation.

"Bastard! Who looks like him? How dare you humiliate me like this! I'll kill you!!!"

Mordred had seen her father before; how could this man in front of her possibly be the King of Knights?

In an instant, a suit of crimson armor appeared on her body, with streaks of crimson lightning appearing on it.

It looks like she's serious.

"This should be enough to prove my identity, right?"

It was an extremely dazzling golden sword.

Chapter 118 Arthur and Mordred

"This is... the Sword of Victory of the Contract?"

Mordred's Master looked at the sword in Arthur's hand with a questioning gaze, after all, the one who was to summon the Knights of the Round Table was also well-versed in the legend of King Arthur.

When Arthur suddenly pulled out this sword, the first thing that came to mind was this: during a battle, the sword in the stone was destroyed, and under Merlin's guidance, King Arthur received a weapon from the Lake Sprite.

Therefore, the sword that the Knight King took out could only be this weapon.

And seeing Mordred's utterly shocked expression, he was certain that it was indeed the real thing.

"How did you get this weapon?"

Mordred didn't want to speak; she was in a state of extreme panic and didn't know how to describe her feelings.

Could it be that the King of Knights was actually male, and Morgan used magic to conceal his gender so that he could not become the King of Knights, and then Merlin used magic to conceal his gender as well?

Mordred's brain couldn't process such advanced thought processes, and steam visibly began to rise from her armor.

"Is she really Mordred?"

Emiya Shirou asked Arthur, since according to the Arthurian legend, Mordred should be male, not female.

And if it was Mordred, why didn't he recognize her immediately?

“I think it must be Mordred, but not the Mordred I know.”

Arthur could only smile somewhat embarrassedly as he answered Shirou Emiya's question.

He had heard of parallel worlds, or at least he was aware of their existence. However, he never expected to actually come to a parallel world this time, and even meet his—emmmm, "daughter".

That's the only way. Turning a son into a daughter is truly a strange feeling.

He's a little unsure how to describe this feeling right now.

"What do you mean?"

Emiya couldn't understand what it meant for her to be Mordred, but not the Mordred he knew.

"Are you really my father?"

Mordred cautiously inquired, realizing that if the man before her was indeed her father, then directly declaring herself Arthur's rightful heir would be incredibly risky.

She even had a strong urge to end the Holy Grail War as quickly as possible and return to the Throne of Heroes.

“Conceptually speaking, I can indeed be considered your father.”

Arthur thought for a moment and then answered Mordred's question.

"Huh? What do you mean? Don't speak unclearly. What do you mean by 'conceptually speaking'? It's either yes or no!"

Mordred was extremely excited and raised his sword, ready to charge forward and fight Arthur to the death.

The nearby residents had never witnessed such a thrilling scene before, and one by one they pretended to be passing by to eavesdrop on their conversation.

It wasn't that they were interested in well-known stories like King Arthur, but rather that it was quite interesting to see four seemingly serious people discussing such unserious matters.

After all, King Arthur had been dead for so long, they absolutely did not believe that these two were the King of Knights and Mordred.

Just treat it like watching a stage play.

"I am King Arthur, but I am not the King Arthur of this world."

Arthur tried to explain to Mordred, who was furious like a cat, but his explanation didn't seem to be very effective.

It still has that riddle-like quality.

However, some people understood Arthur's meaning.

Parallel worlds?

Mordred's Master immediately understood the meaning behind Arthur's words. After all, the Jewel King was still alive, and he was fully capable of understanding parallel worlds.

"As expected, the Arthur here is a woman—"

Before he could finish speaking, a silver-white sword tinged with crimson was pressed against his neck.

"If you dare say the next sentence, I'll cut your neck off."

Mordred's tone was extremely cold, as if he didn't care about Mordred's life or death at all.

"Please spare me."

However, he didn't seem to care about Mordred's behavior.

However, he had already made his own judgment.

Even in parallel universes, the appearances of the various counterparts wouldn't differ too much. If Mordred didn't recognize him as Arthur, then the only explanation is that they are different genders.

After all, in most cases, if you meet your childhood male playmate again after growing up and find that she is a woman, you won't immediately think that she is your childhood playmate.

"Hmph! I'm telling you, I will definitely pull out the sword in the stone and inherit the throne!"

The fact that the man in front of her wasn't her father relieved her. Although he was her father in a parallel world, he wasn't her real father, so she instantly stopped feeling like she was going to die.

He immediately raised his sword and pointed it at Arthur, once again issuing his declaration.

Arthur did not answer her declaration, but stared at her intently, as if scrutinizing something.

"What are you doing? Even if you are my father in a parallel world, I will still kill you. It's not like I haven't killed King Arthur before."

Mordred felt uneasy under Arthur's gaze and once again raised her sword and swung it at Arthur.

However, it is true that Mordred should theoretically provide a certain special attack bonus to King Arthur.

"If you could become more composed, you would be a qualified king."

Arthur offered a fair assessment, stating that he had long since moved beyond the desire to save his homeland and viewed his past as an honor rather than a burden to carry forward.

Moreover, her ability to instigate a rebellion and organize the Knights of the Round Table to corner King Arthur is not only a testament to her leadership skills but also to her personal charisma.

With followers and the ability to lead, she possesses the potential to become a queen.

"Eh!"

Mordred, however, was taken aback by his praise.

She automatically ignored the first part of the sentence: "If you have a more composed personality..."
