The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

This is a very grand banquet.

[Looking at the entire history of Camelot, there haven't been many banquets of this magnitude.]

So you and Kai quickly found a place to sit down and have a good talk.

[It was a remote corner, a place worth discussing things that you would never have the chance to talk about.]

You get the feeling you might know something quite remarkable.

"sit down."

Kai greeted Ian as if he was the host of the party.

Although the atmosphere felt a bit strange, Ian didn't say much.

He came here to spy on the secrets Kai had, not to care about Kai's attitude.

"understood."

Without much talk, the two knights sat on either side of the table.

Because the location was quite remote, although both of them were quite famous in the city, they did not receive much attention.

"The harvest in Camelot is really good this year."

Kai filled Ian's glass with wine while talking about irrelevant things.

"Ian, do you feel the same way?"

"Uh……"

Although Ian felt that Kai's question seemed to have some hidden meaning, he still nodded and confirmed what Kai said.

"Well...if we talk about the harvest, it is indeed much more than in previous years."

"This is something worth celebrating. After all, it's better to feed everyone than to let them go hungry, right?"

"That's indeed the truth—"

Kai stopped what he was doing, which was a common sign when he had something to say.

"But this kind of thing doesn't seem to happen under normal circumstances. Am I right, Ian?"

"..."

The feeling that something was wrong became stronger and stronger. After thinking for a moment, Ian decided to face Kai's slightly sharp question head-on.

"So this is certainly not something that would happen under normal circumstances—after all, the decline of the land is something that almost anyone can feel."

"Kai, do you know something? If so, then just tell me. I don't think we're here to test each other, but to exchange information."

"..."

Kai's pupils dilated slightly.

That was the reaction that only occurred when something hit the nail on the head, but this look didn't last long.

He quickly spoke, "If I remember correctly, this phenomenon only started to appear a few years ago... No, to be more precise, it should have been more than ten years old."

"You remember it so clearly, don't you?" Ian was a little surprised at Kai's memory.

"It's not a question of whether I remember it clearly or not."

Kai took a sip of his wine.

"This land has memory—and I simply hold that memory in my hands."

"Write down everything you can remember so that it will be useful when you need it."

"Actually, at this point in time, if you were to investigate, I'd discovered it's quite closely connected to you and Morgan."

"So I was thinking—"

Kai's gaze slowly moved away from the wine glass and finally fell on Ian in front of him.

"Could this be something you and Morgan set up without anyone knowing?"

"..."

[This is indeed an answer you never expected from Kai.]

[In fact, you never imagined that this knight, who usually didn't communicate with you much, would secretly investigate to this extent.]

You realize that Kai may know much more than you thought.

【But you don't understand what he meant by bringing up this information at this time.】

[Want to threaten you? Or something else?]

[But no matter which situation it is, it is not reasonable - after all, no matter how you think about it, it is not something that can be blamed.]

"And compared to this, you're more worried about something else—since you know about the magic seed, will you know more?"

Your mind begins to become confused.

【But Kai's attention seems to be completely off this. 】

[Or should I say——]

【This is actually just an introduction to what he wants to say to you.】

"Don't be so nervous, and don't be so worried."

"You just need to answer me whether it is true or not."

Kai's voice sounded again, pulling Ian back from his endless thoughts.

The man, returning to reality, quickly noticed Kai's smile.

Obviously, he did not hold any critical attitude towards the matter of magic seeds.

On the contrary, this behavior that can significantly increase land productivity is something worthy of praise.

perhaps--

Doesn't this have something to do with his position being in charge of Camelot's finances?

Ian quickly calmed down after receiving this information.

That's right, Kai didn't come here to question him.

He just came to confirm some doubts in his mind.

If you realize this—

Then it is not difficult to acknowledge everything he has discovered.

correct.

Just admit it directly and openly. It's not something that is difficult to talk about.

Wouldn't it be a great achievement to develop seeds that can resist soil decay for the entire Camelot?

"Yeah." After careful consideration, Ian finally nodded and confirmed Kai's statement.

"You are right, but there is one thing that needs to be corrected."

"I had nothing to do with the development of the magic seeds. It was basically done by you, Morgan."

"I... just know about this matter, and I didn't participate in it."

The knight subconsciously attributed all the credit to his princess.

Perhaps this kind of behavior has already become his instinct.

But such words did not arouse Kai's suspicion.

"I see. If Morgan did it himself, that would make sense."

"However, if you say it has nothing to do with you, that is definitely impossible."

"After all, just by promoting seeds like this, you must have contributed a lot, right?"

"...If you think so, then it is indeed the case." Ian did not deny Kai's words.

"But I still don't understand why you suddenly brought this up."

"Because I'm trying to determine if you have the courage to live up to your fame."

"It turns out-"

Kai stood up, his tone showing a hint of complicated emotions.

"You are indeed just as Altria told me, a person who is neither arrogant nor humble, and who will not actively fight for things that do not belong to you."

"Well, it's time to tell you some news that will have even more far-reaching consequences."

"..."

[Hearing Kai's words, you couldn't help but get nervous.]

You realize that the entire preceding paragraph was merely a test to confirm your feelings.

You feel somewhat relieved that you passed this test—actually, it wasn't really a test, it was just a matter of speaking the truth.

So how important will the following information be?

You can't help but start to speculate.

【But in fact, this is something you can't even imagine. 】

"If I'm not mistaken, it was Altria who asked to do this, right?"

"..."

What Ian knew Kai was talking about was the fact that Altria had revealed her female identity today.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to hesitate any longer.

Ian quickly began to explain:

"Although it was indeed Altria who came up with the idea, I also participated in it - so it wasn't just his own decision, but the result of our consultation."

"That's impossible." Kai smiled and shook his head, "I know my sister too well."

"He would never allow anyone else to interfere in such a risky matter."

"You said you negotiated with her—I think it was more of a symbolic question from Altria. Whether you agree or not, she will definitely choose the method she approves of."

"I think you should understand this better than I do."

"..."

Ian had to admit that Kai was right.

Although Altria looks like a soft girl in private, the real truth is not so.

Just like her decisive actions after becoming king, once Artoria decides to do something, she will never change her mind.

The so-called discussion and debate is just a process.

"Okay, you may be right, but what does that mean?"

Ian responded to the calm knight, his tone hinting at a desire to understand his meaning more deeply.

"Is she regretting her choices now?"

"Regret is definitely impossible - and we don't have the time to regret."

Kai drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Judging from his flushed face, this way of drinking was probably not what he was used to.

"I'm just worried about the follow-up processing issues."

"It is indeed Altria's right to reveal his gender, and I have no objection to him doing so."

"But correspondingly, I don't believe she has the means to cleanly handle the series of disturbances that have arisen following this frankness."

"My sister often makes decisions on the spur of the moment, without considering the consequences."

Having said that, Kai sighed, as if recalling some extremely regretful moment.

"I shouldn't have obeyed her and let her touch the Sword of the King's Choice—now she's caused so much trouble."

"You don't seem to have much confidence in your sister..."

Ian described Kai's expression at the moment very directly.
