Crossover Anime: Starting by fusing with an old sword and summoning Morgan

The twilight in Fuyuki City always arrives with exceptional gentleness, as the orange-red glow shines through the huge French windows, bathing the hall of the Fairy Palace in a warm hue.

Footsteps finally came from the stairs.

Luo Chen changed into a refreshing set of home clothes and came downstairs looking refreshed.

Beside him, Morgan held his arm, her once fierce queenly aura now transformed into a languid gentleness like spring water.

Her stunningly beautiful face still had a blush that hadn't completely faded, and her eyes and brows seemed to scream "I'm very satisfied."

"Oh, so you've finally decided to give it up?"

In the living room, Jeanne d'Arc (Alter) sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a game controller, and hummed without turning her head:

"I didn't see a soul all afternoon. I thought you guys had created a new singularity upstairs."

"It was just a necessary 'magic replenishment'."

Morgan released Luo Chen's hand, walked gracefully to her private armchair, sat down, casually picked up a cup of red tea from the table, took a sip, and sent a defiant glance across the crowd:

"What? Envious? Too bad, Arthur's time is a limited resource, first come, first served."

"Who, who's envious!"

Jeanne Alter's hand trembled, and the character on the screen jumped directly into the pit, displaying a large "GAME OVER" message.

She angrily threw down the controller, and to hide her blushing face, turned and shouted into the kitchen:

"Hey! Silly cat! Isn't dinner ready yet? I'm starving!"

"Coming! Coming! Woof!"

The kitchen door was kicked open, and Tamamo-no-Mae rushed out carrying a huge tray, followed by Jeanne d'Arc and Irisviel, who were helping to carry the tray.

"Tonight's dinner is—the ultimate fusion of Roman flavors and Japanese home cooking! Cat-themed curry!"

The aroma instantly filled the entire restaurant.

Artoria, who had been staring blankly at the TV, suddenly had her ahoge (cowlick) stand up.

With swift yet elegant movements, she instantly moved to her seat at the dining table.

"Dinner's ready."

Luo Chen smiled and sat down in the main seat.

The large family sat around the long table, and although it was noisy, there was a strange sense of harmony.

Nero sat to Luo Chen's left, poking at the carrot on her plate with her fork, looking conflicted.

"Player... While I admit the fox meat is delicious, could you please remove these red root vegetables?"

"As emperor, I have the privilege of being picky about food!"

"no."

Before Luo Chen could speak, Artoria, sitting opposite him, had already swallowed a mouthful of curry and began to speak in a serious tone:

"As a ruler, one should take the lead in cherishing food. Being picky about food is a sign of weakness, Your Majesty the Red Emperor."

"Huh? Who are you calling weak?!"

Nero instantly bristled, his emerald green eyes widening in shock:

"This is my pursuit of art! Carrots simply don't fit my aesthetic! Even you must have things you dislike, right? Blue things!"

"I……"

Artoria was speechless for a moment. She didn't really like octopuses, but faced with the provocation of her "arch-enemy," the pride of the Knight King made her refuse to back down.

She silently forked the largest piece of carrot from her plate, put it in her mouth without changing her expression, chewed, and swallowed.

"No. I will eat any food from Luo Chen's family with a grateful heart."

"Ugh... Damn it! Is this how they try to show off the Empress's composure?!"

Nero bit his handkerchief, looking utterly resentful.

Luo Chen looked at the two clowns and smiled helplessly.

He reached out and naturally picked up a carrot from Nero's plate and put it in his own bowl, then exchanged a piece of top-grade Wagyu beef from his plate for her.

"Okay, stop fooling around."

Luo Chen stroked Nero's blond hair:

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. There aren't that many rules here."

"Player!"

Nero's eyes instantly lit up with stars, and she pounced on Luo Chen, hugging his arm and nuzzling against him.

"You're still the one who cares for me the most! I love you the most!"

"Cough cough."

A deliberate cough came from the other side.

Although Artoria continued to eat quietly, she noticeably increased the force with which she cut the steak, making a sizzling sound on the plate.

The single strand of hair that had been standing upright was now trembling slightly, as if expressing some kind of emotion from its owner—I was the one who behaved better, so why was she the only one being pampered?

Luo Chen keenly caught this signal.

He cut off a piece of the tenderest beef, dipped it in sauce, and held it directly to Artoria's lips.

"Leah."

Luo Chen called out softly.

"……Why?"

Artoria was stunned.

She looked at the meat being offered to her mouth, then at the people at the table staring at her (especially Morgan with his amused expression), and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

"Luo...Luo Chen...This is in public..."

"As a knight, being fed is something..."

Open your mouth.

Luo Chen did not withdraw his hand; his eyes were gentle yet carried a hint of domineering authority that brooked no refusal.

"Is this a reward for your 'conserving of food' just now? Or... do you intend to refuse your king?"

Artoria's eyelashes trembled.

Refuse? How could I possibly refuse?

She slightly opened her mouth, took the piece of meat into her mouth, and even gently licked the tip of Luo Chen's fork.

The rich sauce and tender beef burst in her mouth, but what made her heart race even faster was Luo Chen's focused gaze.

"Is it good?" Luo Chen asked with a smile.

"……Um."

Artoria lowered her head, her voice barely audible, her ears burning red:

"It was delicious."

"Wow—! Me too! Me too!"

Mordred, who had been engrossed in eating, finally couldn't resist any longer.

She squeezed through the crowd, holding her bowl, pointed to her mouth, and looked at Luo Chen expectantly:

"Dad! I wasn't picky about food either! I ate all the green peppers! I want a reward too!"

"Okay, okay."

Luo Chen smiled and fed the "rebellious knight" a bite as well.

Mordred chewed contentedly, not forgetting to throw a smug look at Nero across from him: "Hehe, the meat Daddy feeds me is just delicious!"

"childish."

Jeanne Alter snorted coldly from the side, seemingly disdainful of such behavior.

But her golden eyes kept glancing at Luo Chen, and she unconsciously poked at the rice in her plate with her spoon, clearly waiting for someone to "be more conscious".

Luo Chen certainly wouldn't show favoritism.

This dinner was less about eating and more about performing a "highly difficult act of balancing the tables".

From Morgan to Joan of Arc, from Meloshen to Sakura and Illya, everyone was taken care of perfectly.

After dinner, everyone moved to the living room.

Morgan occupied the best spot next to Luo Chen, holding a magic book in his hand, his head resting on Luo Chen's lap, enjoying the tranquility after the meal.

Nero and Artoria are engaged in "peace negotiations" over the television remote control.

Jeanne Alter was whispering something to Jeanne d'Arc in a corner, probably imparting witch's wisdom on "how to make that man more obedient".

Luo Chen leaned back on the sofa, gently combing Morgan's long hair with his fingers, watching the warm yet noisy scene before him.

The moonlight streamed in through the window.

In this miraculous home, time seems to slow down.

"Hey, Arthur."

Morgan didn't open his eyes, his voice languid:

"The next world... have you decided where you want to go?"

"There's no rush."

Luo Chen lowered his head, gazing at her stunning profile:

"Before that, I want to spend the last days of summer with you all."

"I heard there's a fireworks festival in Fuyuki City in a few days? Let's all go!"

"Fireworks?"

Morgan's lips curled into a slight smile:

"If I watch it with you... it wouldn't be so bad."
