A blush quietly crept onto her delicate cheeks.

A slight feeling of dizziness is also being produced in the brain.

"Senior... what are you doing...?"

"Speaking of which, why did you react so strongly to yesterday's accident?"

Shirou recalled everything that had happened yesterday and felt a little like teasing her.

"yesterday?"

Artoria tilted her head, then seemed to remember something. Her cheeks flushed slightly, her lips tightened, and her hands defensively covered her chest.

"That was clearly twice, wasn't it?"

"You're such a lecherous fellow."

"Where's the lust in you? Aren't you a man?"

Shirou looked puzzled.

"This……"

Her words became somewhat hesitant, and she nervously twisted her fingers.

"I...I'm definitely a boy...!"

She still wants to protect the secret of being a girl.

Since that's the case, then we can only continue weaving lies.

"Since you say you're a boy..."

Shirou got closer and closer as he spoke, until their faces were almost touching.

They could even feel each other's breath.

"Then dare you show me your trophy?!"

What?

What is this guy saying?

Artoria felt as if her brain had suddenly shut down.

"What... what are you looking at...?"

She even thought she had heard wrong.

"What, you're afraid to show me?"

"Could it be that you are actually a woman...?"

Shirou's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"I really am a boy!"

Artoria blushed.

I racked my brains but couldn't come up with a strategy.

My mind is a complete mess.

She didn't know what to do.

At that moment, Shirou suddenly shouted:

"Stop dawdling! Let me see!"

"No, senior!"

Artoria desperately tried to hold down Shirou's careless hand.

Artoria blushed and, just as her linen trousers were about to be pulled down, finally let out a panicked cry.

"Wait, wait a minute, senior..."

"Actually... I, I'm a girl...!"

Artoria closed her eyes and said resignedly.

"Hmph, so you finally admit it."

Looking at the girl so close to him, Shirou showed no surprise whatsoever.

Those words made it seem as if they already knew all along.

“€€€€€€?”

Artoria was completely stunned.

Even the senses in one's body are weakened as a result.

A variety of questions churned in the girl's mind.

My thoughts were already a jumbled mess from that electric shock-like sensation.

"Waaah..."

Has Merlin's illusion failed?

I've been pretending so well all along, haven't I?

If that's the case, then why...?

"You're a bad guy!"

Artoria glared at Shirou angrily.

She pushed Shirou away in shame and anger, and shrank to the edge of the haystack.

Her face flushed red, her tone was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and even carried a hint of crying.

"Seriously! Senior knew I was a girl, yet he still did such a lewd thing to me...!"

"...Who told you to keep it hidden all this time?"

Shirou's brown eyes darted nervously toward the wheat field.

“Practicing swordsmanship all day is boring, why don’t we go shopping, Artoria?”

After thinking it over, Shirou decided that it would be better to calm the girl down first.

He stopped acting altogether and started calling the girl by her real name.

"Humph……"

The sulking girl turned her face away.

With a flick of her golden ponytail, it traced an arc in the air.

She turned her back, leaving Shirou with only his puffed-up back of his head.

The still angry girl didn't even notice the sudden change in how Shirou addressed her.

but.

She was still that kind and innocent girl after all.

Moreover, she actually has some affection for Shirou, her only friend.

So, after Shirou presented modern candy as a gift.

Forgiveness was easily obtained.

"So sweet!!"

A girl holding a rainbow-colored spiral lollipop in her hand, gently licking it with her pink little tongue.

He froze completely.

The emerald green pupils trembled.

Then, a radiance of joy welled up within me.

Such a rich and layered sweetness is a delight for a young girl living in this medieval world.

It tastes like heaven.

"Senior... um... is there anything else?"

The girl's shy and bashful expression made Shirou shake his head and chuckle.

What an easily satisfied guy.

The sun is setting in the west, and dusk is approaching.

Taylor Bill.

A castle city in the territory of Volcano, under the rule of the Kingdom of Camelot.

If we exclude magic tricks, it's reasonable for modern people to assume that people in ancient times lived in extreme poverty.

However, it is precisely because of magic that things can defy common sense.
