To become a king and a magician

The staff in control room sent back a report.

Mary nodded slightly, then glanced at everyone present one last time—

"Now, let's officially begin Chaldea's final spirit particle transfer."

"Our target is the British Lostbelt, the fairy kingdom ruled by the Elf King and the Winter Queen! After arriving at the island of Orkney, the End of the World, everyone will head to the main island of Britain under the leadership of Number Two, Natsukawa Torato."

There is only one mission.

"Bring Natsukawa Tora back and marry him to us!"

(Can't you at least say something serious for the last sentence?)

14. Rice with soup sauce

It felt like I was back in my childhood.

Artoria thought to herself as she sat in a certain courtyard.

This wasn't her first time in court. When she was a child, probably between the ages of six or seven and thirteen or fourteen, she would come to court every few days for various reasons.

The most frequent reason given was related to his studies in magic.

After her seventh birthday, Natsukawa Torato and Morgan began teaching her magic. Although both of them said that there was nothing left for Artoria to do in this Britain, they decided to teach her magic for various reasons and just in case.

Natsukawa Tora's expertise in elemental transformation, summoning magic, and displacement magic, as well as Morgan's expertise in the four major system magics [Mirror], [Tower], [Garden], and [Coffin]... Even though she didn't learn every kind of magic, within the permitted limits, Artoria was still forced to learn about 70-80% of their magic.

It's not just about quantity, but also about effectiveness.

Unlike the talented Morgan, Artoria, also a fairy from Paradise, is not particularly gifted in magic, and her magical power is below average among fairies. Under such circumstances, it is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for Artoria to learn magic. Failure is common, and in addition, she is a little slow-witted, so some things need to be taught three or four times.

As a result, she frequently angered her parents, who were in a teacher-like state, and Morgan would throw her into the courtyard and confine her to reflect on her actions.

This kind of life continued until two years ago, when Artoria finally passed the magic test set by the two of them after a lot of hard work, and she was finally able to end that life of being locked in the courtroom and punished from time to time.

"It's been so long since I've been here, I'm actually starting to miss it..."

Artoria exclaimed.

Just as she was sighing like this, a door that had created a spatial displacement suddenly appeared in the previously empty courtyard.

Come out, the lockdown is over.

Hearing a voice coming from the other side, Artoria realized that she had unknowingly spent a week in the Garden. The Garden not only served as a place of restraint and imprisonment, but also affected the imprisoned person's perception of time.

Artoria felt like she had only spent two or three days inside.

The moment Artoria emerged from the space after passing through the spatial displacement—

"Pfft!"

He fell directly into the warm bathtub.

bathroom?

"How long are you going to stand there like that, Artoria?"

"Ugh~~~!"

The sudden sound from behind made Artoria shudder. She looked back in fear and saw her nominal mother leaning against the edge of the bathtub, enjoying the hot water.

"Uh... Mother..."

Artoria looked at Morgan with some awkwardness.

"You, why are you taking a bath...? By the way, why is the exit of the courtyard in the bathroom?"

Morgan glanced at Artoria lightly upon hearing this: "It's the morning of your eighth day back. After spending the night with your father, you naturally need to clean yourself."

"Ah...yes, that's true...you two have always been so loving."

Morgan's explanation made Artoria blush slightly.

Artoria had some knowledge of the private lives of her two adoptive parents. Even though they had been married for over two thousand years, they were still like a newlywed couple, and their feelings for each other showed no signs of fading!

However, since fairies and elves are races that cannot reproduce normally like humans, the two still do not have a real child to this day. The result of their behavior is simply that the two are replenishing each other's magic power.

"More than this, how long are you going to stay in front of me in this ugly state, Artoria?" Morgan said in a deep voice. "Go outside and take off your soaking wet clothes, then come in and take a good shower. After that, come with us to the dining table and tell me everything that has happened in the past ten days since you ran away from home."

"Yes, I understand, Mother."

After agreeing, Artoria got up, dragging her wet clothes and body outside to take them off and put on a towel before returning to the bathroom and sitting down next to Morgan.

Just as she sat down, Morgan asked, "How was your trip?"

"Uh... it's... alright?"

Artoria said somewhat uncertainly.

"Because I was being chased by Baggezi from the middle of the journey, I didn't have any good experiences. I even got lost in the forest after I left. If I hadn't been picked up by that Earth Clan member in black armor, I would probably still be in the forest."

"Oh? The Earth Clan wearing black armor?"

Morgan became slightly interested.

She shared Natsukawa Torama's surveillance magic with her, so she roughly knew where Artoria went, and she also knew the earth clan fairy who helped her.

Hector the Black Knight.

Her companions from thousands of years ago, and friends who parted ways with them two thousand four hundred years ago.

"So, the fairy told you about the Holy Sword on the Isle of Endless Realms?"

“Ah…yes, that’s right.” Artoria nodded. “After I told him some things about myself, he suggested that I go to the Isle of Ends…but before I could get the Holy Sword, I was captured by Baggzi.”

“Your father and I have already warned you not to go to that island under any circumstances. Why didn’t you listen?” Morgan’s voice carried a hint of accusation. “I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t let it happen again. You can go anywhere in Britain, but that island is the one you cannot approach, understand?”

"......"

"And the answer?"

"I understand," Artoria replied somewhat helplessly. She believed that Natsukawa and Morgan were doing this for her own good, forbidding her from approaching the Island of the End, but the two had never explained the specific reasons, which made her quite frustrated.

"Oh, right, Mother, there's something else. I met two people on the Isle of Ends who weren't guardians."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu.

These two were the first pure objects that Artoria encountered, the first real humans she met.

"Bagezi injured them, and I don't know what happened to them afterward..."

"This is not something you need to worry about."

Morgan stood up from the pool, revealing a figure that Artoria could only envy.

"Even if they survived Gawain's attack and recovered during that time, they would still be unable to leave the Isle of Ends and would be trapped there."

"Huh? What does this mean—"

"Hurry up and come out after you take a shower. Breakfast is ready. After breakfast, catch up on all the lessons you missed while you were away from home. I'll keep an eye on you."

"!"

Artoria, who was initially worried about the safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, suddenly became tense.

Now is the time for her to worry about her own safety!

(Tutoring sessions personally supervised by my mother... Oh no! I'm really going to die!)

15. Matching you with an opponent.

One week after Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash arrived in the Lostbelt.

The highest point of Orkney, the island of the end.

The ruins of the church that once stood here.

"Buzz~~~~~~!"

Accompanied by a burst of light representing the transfer of spiritual particles, more than a dozen people suddenly poured out of the small church that originally had only three people!

"Yo-ho! Here we come!"

Mordred, whose mischievous personality hasn't changed even after all these years, was the first to shout.

As a native of Britain, she felt a sense of familiarity the moment she arrived in this Lostbelt. Even though it was a Lostbelt, Britain was still Britain, the birthplace and legendary land of the Knights of the Round Table.

Artoria shared the same feeling as her.

She was simply more composed than Mordred.

As for the others, they all looked around with curiosity. After all, almost everyone present was visiting the Lostbelt for the first time, so it was impossible not to be curious, especially since it was Britain, the Lostbelt, a world that Natsukawa Torato had ruled for two thousand four hundred years.

but.

"You can't see anything here."

As soon as the second Natsukawa Tiger, carrying the Holy Sword, finished speaking, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. "This place is far from Natsukawa Tiger's rule. There are no fairies or humans here. It is the only abandoned island that has never changed in the past two thousand four hundred years. There is no trace of Natsukawa Tiger here. If you really want to see it, let's wait until we cross the strait and arrive at the main island of Britain."

“You are the clone that was separated from the tiger.” Aozaki Aoko looked at Number Two Natsukawa Tiger. “You really are exactly the same as the real one.”

"The difference is still quite large. At least in terms of power, I only have less than one-thousandth of the original body's strength, right? I'm very weak."

No. 2 Xia Chuanhu smiled.

"Well then, although I understand what you all are thinking, please allow me to give a general explanation first. Even though I think you all already know, I would still like to explain the operational objectives and plans for this operation again."

Operational plan.

Upon hearing what Number Two Xia Chuanhu said, all the women present, who were all approaching their thirties, forties, or even fifties, fell silent for a moment, ready to hear what Number Two Xia Chuanhu had to say.

Number Two, Natsukawa Tora, cleared his throat: "First of all... Arcueid, could you please use your imagination to conjure up a blackboard? I can't use it right now."

"Snapped!"

A blackboard and a box of chalk were thrown at the same time in front of Natsukawa Tiger, number two.

"Thank you—Alright, let me first tell you our purpose this time, which is undoubtedly to bring back the original Elf King."

Number Two, Natsukawa Tiger, wrote the words "Bring Natsukawa Tiger back" on the blackboard.

"To achieve this goal, a battle between us and the main body, as well as the two fairy knights and even Queen Morgan, is inevitable. As for the combat strength of these four people, I think Meryl has already told us, right?"

Natsukawa Tora, whose power surpasses even that of the Beast; Morgan, the divine magician who learned magic from the Holy Lance Rungomminiad; Melsin, the strongest dragon born from the remains of the Albion Dragon; and Bagst, who possesses both the legend of the Black Dog and the legend of Gawain.
