The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　The last ray of light completely dimmed.

　The body that had already reached its limit now completely ended its ability.

　The soul has long been worn out in fifteen hundred years of wandering.

　At this moment, my mind was completely relaxed.

　"Returning the Holy Sword..."

　Specks of fluorescent light began to emanate from Bedivere's body, and then turned into spirit particles filling the sky.

　The girl stood quietly by, holding her mask in her hand.

　The palm hidden under the mask was emitting a faint glow of magic power.

　Just think of this as a white lie...

　The girl thought so in her heart.

　The illusion he learned from Merlin deceived all those present who were unaware of the truth.

　The figure of the silver-haired knight slowly emerged in the gorgeous sea of ​​flowers, and then gradually turned into dust.

　"Sweet dreams, Knight Bedivere..."

　Merlin caught a few flying petals in his hands and threw them into the dust flying in the air.

　"You have successfully completed the task assigned to you by the king..."

　Merlin and the Lion King's voices rang out at the same time.

　"I finally remembered..."

　The Lion King slowly stood up, holding his holy sword in his hand.

　"That forest, that hill, and the expression on the face of the knight who cared for me and cried for me until the very end..."

　"To dispel this regret..."

　The Lion King gently raised his head and looked at the spirits flying all over the sky. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the girl's hand holding the mask, and the ahoge on his head shook slightly.

　"You wandered through the long years..."

　The Lion King was silent for a moment.

　"You did very well. You are my last and most loyal knight..."

　The Lion King stretched out his hand towards the spirits that were floating in the air and seemed reluctant to leave.

　"Be proud, Bedivere, you have fulfilled the mission given to you by your king."

　After the Lion King finished speaking, the spirit particles and dust in the air began to move towards the distant sky as if they were completely liberated.

　"Lancelot...Mordred...you have done well...Although you have betrayed me once again, this time, I will not hold you accountable."

　The Lion King withdrew his hand, was silent for a moment, and then looked at Lancelot and Mordred again.

　"Raise your heads, my knights. Your betrayal this time is righteous, and this is the meaning of your existence..."

　Lancelot and Mordred listened to the Lion King's words and knelt on one knee at the same time.

　“Thank you very much…”

　"but..."

　The Lion King changed the subject and looked directly at the girl.

　After hesitating for a moment, the girl put the mask back on her face.

　"Sister Wang—no, Knight of Paradise, I will not apologize."

　The Lion King interrupted himself when he was about to say something.

　Although their auras were similar, they were ultimately two different people.

　"I won't apologize to you for this fight. Even now I believe what I did was right. You just need to stay firm on your path."

　I will perish along with my ideals, but you will not...

　Someone was saved, and Sir Bedivere's mistakes also had meaning—

　At least it makes sense to me.

　I know this best.

　Before that—

　The Lion King walked step by step to the girl's side, and then looked at the girl who was almost a head shorter than him.

　"Send the Holy Sword and Holy Lance back to Paradise. If it were you, you would surely be able to do it, right?"

　The Lion King handed the Holy Sword and Holy Spear to the girl in front of him, then turned and walked towards the Tower at the End, which had completely turned into ruins.

　The girl held the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance, and was silent for a moment as she watched the Lion King walk towards the Tower of the End alone.

　White petals made of magic slowly emerged from the void behind the girl, and then threw three tightly wrapped figures towards the Lion King.

　"They've returned it to you. Isn't it better to have someone accompany you than to face the end alone?"

　The Lion King paused slightly, then slowly turned his head.

　The people who came into view were Gawain, Tristan and Agrawen.

　Although the outer armor was covered with dust and blood, there was not a single scar on the body.

　"Ah..."

　The corner of the Lion King's mouth curled up slightly.

　"You're so gentle... A beast outside the family..."

　The Lion King's figure slowly disappeared along with the three knights.

　The magic barrier slowly dissipated, and the singularity began to become unstable.

　"It seems like the banquet agreement can't be fulfilled..."

　"That's not necessarily true, huh?"

　The girl raised her index finger and thumb to Sanzang, then snapped her fingers slightly.

　Romani

　Ajman Watch

　281

　Watching Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka disappear from the screen, he silently picked up the cup.

　-

　"here it is?"

　Mashu opened her eyes wide and looked around at the plain where everyone was.

　"The inner sea of ​​stars, the paradise of the fantastical species, the inner side of the world..."

　"That is... the Holy Grail?"

　Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at the huge sphere in front of him, his pupils trembling constantly.

　"Yeah, but wait..."

　The girl continued to fiddle with the device in her hand while answering Fujimaru Ritsuka.

　"Speaking of which, Senior... did you see Da Vinci kiss?"

　"Weren't you just here..."

　Seeing that the place where Leonardo da Vinci was supposed to be standing was now empty, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke slower and slower.

　"Ritsuka! Mashu! Come quickly! There are so many materials here!"

　As Ritsuka Fujimaru listened to Da Vinci's words, his eyes became sharp.

　"senior!"

　Mashu grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's sleeve tightly. Even so, she was still pulled by Fujimaru Ritsuka towards the mountain made of various rare materials that were unimaginable in the human world.

　"Ritsuka and Mashu, take it if you want. I won't be using it anyway. Ah, it's connected..."

　The girl said, blinking before waving at the device in her hand.

　"Can you hear?"

　"The communication signal is good, yes...but where are you?"

　"my home?"

　Romani Akiman nodded subconsciously.

　"I see—that's not it! This is the inner sea of ​​the stars! This must be the inner sea of ​​the stars!"

　"After all, the singularity is about to end..."

　Romani Akiman held his forehead helplessly.

　It doesn't matter anymore...

　"I see...Holding the party here? That's a great choice!"

　"Wow! So many people suddenly showed up! And I have a bad feeling, so I'm sorry, little Sieg, but I'm leaving now, Merlin-sama—"

　A frivolous and discordant voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.

　"Where do you want to go, Merlin?"

　Mordred mercilessly grabbed Merlin's collar and pulled him back.

　"that..."

　"Fufufu! (Merlin deserves death!)"

　Fou suddenly lost her usual docility and leaped off Mash's shoulders, flying straight towards Merlin. Then, in front of everyone's astonishment, she unleashed a force unbelievable for her size and kicked Merlin away.

　"Even after going through such a sad thing, why can I still be so happy?"

　"because..."

　The girl smiled softly.

　"People always have to look forward and continue to laugh with their companions. This is the only way to move forward and it is also the best way to repay the companions who have left."

　The white palm slowly stretched out and pointed at the open space in front of him.

　Huge magical power began to gather in his hands.

　Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the girl.

　Slowly empty your mind and leave everything to your instincts.

　Not projection mode, nor faerie pack or dragon pack.

　The girl slowly opened her mouth, and unfamiliar syllables came out of her mouth.

　"Utopian dream materialized——"

　The castle, the spotless white castle quietly emerged, and then covered the open space in front of everyone.

　"Then let's begin...while we still can."

　Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

　-

　The Lion King stood quietly on the top of the ruined tower, his eyes calmly looking at the distant sky.

　"My king..."

　"Rise up, my knights, you have done well..."

　Gawain, Tristan, and Agniven knelt together in front of the Lion King, bowing their heads deeply.

　"Righteousness and loyalty... You chose the latter... I won't say anything, because it's your choice..."

　but--

　Sometimes, betrayal is also a kind of loyalty...
