The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

On a mountain road somewhere in Britain.

The carriage driven by Ian was moving slowly on the road full of gravel and sand, bumping from time to time.

This kind of road is the most dangerous.

Because if you are not careful, you may stumble and end up in a tragic accident.

only--

There was actually a deeper reason why Ian slowed down compared to this danger.

That is, he wanted to spend a little more time on this journey so that Guinevere could have more beautiful memories.

even if...

It's just a momentary picture.

"What a beautiful sunrise." The man pretended to say this, and then led Altria and Guinevere out of the car behind.

A ray of sunlight fell squarely on their faces, making their originally fair complexions glow red, making them look like apples freshly picked from the tree.

"Really..."

Looking at the scenery in the distance, Guinevere couldn't help but exclaimed.

The sun slowly rose in her eyes, as brilliant as fireworks at a festival.

"What a beautiful sunrise...I must remember it."

"..."

Guinevere said this casually, but her words went straight into Altria's heart.

The woman sitting next to her pondered for a moment and then said:

"Then do you want to stop and take a few more looks?"

"Eh?"

Guinevere was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and politely declined Altria's request.

"no need."

"It's enough to look at something beautiful like this for a while—any more than that and it becomes boring."

"Besides... aren't we going back to my hometown? If we waste so much time on the road, we'll be too late."

"Too late?"

Artoria heard some words that she cared about very much.

Guinevere soon realized that she seemed to have let something slip, and she hurried to make amends.

"What I mean is that the Emperor probably has his own things to do. If we return too late, we might not be able to meet him."

"In comparison, it would be better to go back early."

"But...you clearly said you liked it very much, right?"

There was a hint of guilt in Altria's beautiful green eyes.

That is the despair expressed when one knows that one's best friend's life is slowly coming to an end and there is nothing one can do about it.

But the King's Girl also realized that her reaction seemed to betray the possibility that she already knew everything.

She also changed her words:

"It's okay. Home will arrive sooner or later—and we will definitely meet your father, the Emperor."

"But if you miss a sunrise like this, you might never have another chance again!"

"Altria, you..."

"Hey, this..."

"..."

"..."

Realizing that she seemed to have said something wrong again, Altria looked a little embarrassed, and Guinevere also looked a little embarrassed.

They were supposed to be playing around for each other, but now they couldn't say a word.

But at this moment——

The carriage stopped without any warning.

Soon, the knight's head also popped into the carriage.

As a complete insider, he understood what happened even without listening to the entire conversation between the two.

Since they all need a reason—

Then it must be me.

“I think this sunrise is really beautiful.”

"Lily, Wei'er, can you stay here with me for a while?"

"..."

"..."

Altria and Guinevere looked at each other and then nodded.

As said before.

Many times, they just need a reason that both of them can accept.

【This is a sunrise viewing experience full of mixed feelings.】

Guinevere and Altria, sitting in the carriage, spoke words of reassurance to each other, as if none of the problems had ever occurred.

[They held each other's hands and described how they would live together in the future.]

[But only you know that such a future will never come——]

"Fate, if possible, could you please transfer Guinevere's misfortune to me?"

You couldn't help but pray in your heart.

【But nothing seems to have changed because of your thoughts. 】

Or should I say…?

【All of this was already destined.】

night.

I have to say that it did take a little while to appreciate the sunrise.

In addition, they had deviated from the planned route, so the three of them did not reach any village in the end, but stopped in the wilderness.

But it's not a big deal.

After all, including this time, this is actually the fourth time the three of them have done this along the way.

The road from Camelot back to Guinevere's hometown is not short at all.

wow-

A bonfire was lit.

The orange-red flames flickered in the autumn night, driving away all the darkness around them and casting traces of the night.

The knight just sat near it, throwing some sticks and other things into it from time to time.

At this moment, he felt a little confused.

However, before the knight could remain silent for long, Altria's voice was heard.

"kindness?"

The man looked up and saw Altria with her hands behind her back.

At this moment, her expression did not look so relaxed, as if she was a little more worried than in the past few days.

Ian soon realized that something seemed amiss.

And this premonition soon turned into reality.

"Lily, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Altria answered Ian and then sat down next to him.

She picked up some branches from the ground and threw them into the campfire.

"I just want to ask you a question."

"..."

This is no surprising answer.

Ian quickly adjusted his mentality and said:

"Well, Lily, ask."

"If it's a question I can answer—I will."

"It's actually not a big problem."

"I just want to know..." Altria raised her head and looked at him beside her, "Well, did you tell Wei'er about those things?"

"..."

[You are not surprised that Altria would ask such a question.]

[After all, you know she's a very careful person, so it's impossible for her not to notice Guinevere's abnormality.]

【but--】

You also know that this is not something you can admit.

[If you agree with Altria's idea, things will become more complicated.]

"how could it be possible?"

"I told you I would never do that."

Ian reached out and stroked Altria's head.

Although her appearance and figure have become much more mature, she is still that soft bunny girl in front of men.

So with just this touch, she fell on his legs very naturally, as if she had found a pillow.

But Ian soon discovered that the situation seemed to have changed again.

After she fell down, why did she start using her face...

"No, Lily, you are..."

"Is it not possible?" Artoria raised her head slightly. "Does it disgust you when I do this?"

"Of course not."

"Isn't that enough?"

Altria looked straight at Ian, with a little girl's wisdom in her eyes.

"I'll ask you again—did you really not tell Guinevere?"

"..."

Obviously, this is Altria's own "lie detection" method.

She seemed to think that this would further verify the authenticity of the knight's words.

Ian couldn't help but find it a little funny - sometimes, this king who was so mature in front of others would be childish and cute in front of him.

"No, not really."

The Knight gave his own answer.

"If that were the case—don't you think Guinevere's mood would be ten times worse than it is now... no, I should say a hundred times worse."

"..."
