Nuclear Sword Immortal Starting from Type-Moon

"Not inferior to me!"

……

It was evening.

The vast wheat fields, devoid of the daytime light, were shrouded in a gray-brown twilight.

"Just now, someone was staring at me...?"

Shirou walked along the dirt road covered with tire tracks, with endless wheat fields on both sides.

Indeed, just as Vortigern was gazing at Shirou, Shirou was also gazing at him.

Compared to the eyesight of the fluctuating Tigen, Shirou, with his "clairvoyance," undoubtedly has even stronger eyesight.

"It's a pity we can't hear what that guy is saying..."

This is quite frustrating.

After all, he possesses "eyes that can see a thousand miles," not "ears that can hear a thousand miles"...

"Senior, that's my home."

Artoria, who was holding half a pancake, quickened her pace to Shirou's side and pointed ahead to remind him.

Shirou followed the blonde girl's gaze and looked at the simple little courtyard at the end of the path.

"Are you hungry, senior? Would you like to come to my house for something to eat?"

"This……"

Shirou hesitated, wondering whether he should decline.

The main problem was that he didn't know what Artoria's family ate during this time in the Middle Ages.

The girl's figure, apart from her enormous appetite, appeared somewhat "sparse" in other aspects.

I'm afraid they don't usually eat very good food.

Having grown accustomed to modern cuisine, Shirou was genuinely worried that he might behave inappropriately or be unable to stomach the rougher food.

"No, I've already eaten a few pancakes and I'm a little full."

This pancake may not look big, but it really fills you up.

I'm afraid one large pancake would be enough for an average adult to eat for a meal.

So, looking at the petite girl beside him, Shirou really couldn't understand how she had managed to eat nearly twenty pancakes without batting an eye all the way.

...I was so scared I cried.

The red dragon's appetite is truly terrifying.

You really can't afford to raise them if you don't have a lot of money.

He truly deserves the title of Britain's biggest eater.

As his thoughts raced, Shirou had already followed the girl through the courtyard gate.

He met her adoptive father, Sir Hector.

An elderly knight with graying temples was sweeping up fallen autumn leaves in the backyard.

His well-trained physique remained straight and upright, showing no signs of aging or fatigue.

Old soldiers never die, and they even refuse to fade away.

Looking at his back, Shirou could sense a resilient and steadfast spirit.

No wonder he was entrusted with the son of the king by the late King Joseph.

"You're back, Lily."

Pronounced as Lily or Lili, outsiders wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

This is both a nickname for Artoria and a tacit cover-up.

The old knight turned around and smiled kindly.

But when his gaze swept past Artoria and he saw Shirou, this unfamiliar red-haired boy...

The old knight couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

"And this is...?"

"He is a friend I just made, Father."

Artoria swallowed the last bite of the biscuit and introduced it with a smile.

Upon hearing the address "Father," the old knight Hector appeared slightly dazed.

Recalling the past, the details of serving King Uther caused Hector's eyes to flicker slightly.

Yes, given his important role as King Arthur's adoptive father, he certainly couldn't have been just an ordinary "down-on-his-luck old knight."

Instead, he was one of King Uther's most trusted bodyguards.

In reality, Hector did not have any eccentric or reclusive personality traits.

The reason for living in seclusion in such a remote suburb far from the town is entirely because of the need to secretly raise Artoria.

As Yuther's personal bodyguard, he had served in the court since he came of age.

At that time, the relationship between the royal brothers, Yuther and Vortigern, was still very harmonious.

Who could have predicted the subsequent disintegration and fratricide?

The unbearable past flashed through my eyes.

The old knight Hector glared at the girl helplessly, a hint of resignation in his eyes.

...How could a dragon of such noble stature call himself father?

The old knight Hector, who was somewhat apprehensive, readjusted his emotions and looked at Shirou.

"I'm sorry... I just couldn't help thinking about some things from the past. It's easy to get distracted when you get old."

"Please take a rest," Shirou said.

My gaze followed the old knight as he pushed open the wooden door to the backyard and entered the inner room.

Shirou's face always wore a gentle smile that was flawless.

When you don't know what to say, just keep smiling.

The interior is not as shabby as it appears from the outside.

Although the decorations were few, the fire in the fireplace burned brightly, dispelling the chill of the late autumn evening.

However, what greeted Shirou before the warm fire was a grumbling male voice.

"Hey! What right do you have to sit in my chair?!"

Chapter 41 What kind of knight are you?

"Who are you?!"

"Why is my sister... cough, my brother with you!?"

"What is your relationship with my sister... and my brother?!"

The one who questioned them with such an aggressive tone was a knight named Kai.

Compared to Artoria, who is still a trainee knight, her adoptive brother Kai is already a full-fledged knight.

Now, Kai stared angrily at this strange man who had suddenly appeared after he had only been gone for a couple of days.

My own sister, Artoria, has been kidnapped by a strange man!

She even brought that damned man home!

This is practically letting a wolf into the house!

That's outrageous!!

"Brother Kai, calm down."

Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Artoria quickly stepped between the two and explained.

“His name is Mordekaiser, and he is my friend.”

"Friends? When did you arrive!?"

Kai looked completely bewildered.

Mordekaiser...

This name doesn't sound like a good person at all!

"It was just submitted in the last couple of days..."

As she said this, Artoria's eyes seemed to wander as she recalled the intimate events that had occurred in the past two days, and her cheeks unconsciously turned rosy.

"Wait, why do you still look so shy???"

Kai was a little confused.
