The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"I don't think it's that simple."

"..."

It was no surprise, even Ian himself thought so.

"That--"

"Scathach, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Yes." The Queen of Shadow Kingdom turned sideways and looked at the man sleeping next to her.

"I think it might be related to the recent instability in Shadow Country."

"...Can you explain it in more detail?"

[Scathach still respects your request very much.]

【She quickly told you a series of recent events.】

[Including but not limited to the recent turmoil in the Shadow Kingdom.]

[You realize that this place called the Kingdom of the Dead is not as peaceful as it seems.]

【At least--】

【It’s not peaceful right now.】

[Scathach bears a far more formidable pressure than it appears on the surface.]

"..."

After listening to Scathach's story, Ian said nothing, but held her in his arms.

It was a slightly hot feeling, and even the queen's skin felt hot.

"What are you doing..."

Scathach felt a little shy when she was held in the man's arms, but her hands did not become resistant because of this. Instead, they showed a sense of active response.

This is not surprising.

For her——

Ian is the one who is qualified to defeat him.

And this kind of defeat is not limited to martial arts. She longs to witness the moment when the other party kills her in bed - that must be a great experience.

"No." Ian's voice became softer.

"I just wanted to say thank you for your hard work."

"Thanks for your hard work?"

Scathach was a little overwhelmed.

It was the first time she heard this man talk to her like this.

"Yeah..." Ian's hand gently stroked Scathach's long hair, like a comb.

"For such a long time, you must be the only one protecting this country, right?"

"This is not an easy thing to do."

"..."

Scathach was silent for a moment before answering.

"I said--"

"Are you thinking of your Morgan at this time?"

"..."

"say!"

"That's somewhat true." Ian didn't hide his thoughts. "After all, your situations can occasionally be extremely similar."

"It's impossible for me to forget her."

"..."

"Ian Pendragon, don't you think it's rude to mention your ex in front of your current wife?"

Saying this, Scathach stared at the man beside her.

She wasn't angry, but it was more like she was angry than angry.

But Ian was not panicked at all. He quickly continued:

"Well, if you put it that way, it's indeed quite rude."

"But if I don't say it...wouldn't it hurt you more?"

"Sleeping together but thinking about other things—I think it would be harder for you to accept, right?"

"..."

Scathach couldn't refute Ian's words for a moment.

After all, in the final analysis, I didn't do anything wrong.

Be it marriage or a duel in bed.

Aren’t all rules made to satisfy one’s own wishes?

It's already good enough that he has achieved this.

However, despite saying this, Scathach did not say it directly - she couldn't let the other party know that she acknowledged Morgan's existence, right?

"Shameless behavior should be punished."

"I can't sleep right now."

Scathach lifted the quilt, and then showed her majesty as the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom in front of Ian as usual.

She had achieved the ability to take away the knight's spear without any expression, making him submit completely to her.

"What's wrong? After I exposed you, is this all you can do?"

Scathach's fingers marked a distance between her own "positive" characters, which was already a very confusing situation.

"You could have gotten here before, right?"

"Because I have something else to say."

"Have something to say?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, then held Scathach's hand in his.

"Do not worry--"

"Whatever that red dragon represents, I will face it with you."

"I swear to this in the name of Ian Pendragon!"

"..."

Scathach's expression was cold at first, and then after a delay, it gradually turned into a blush of happiness.

"How many people have you sworn to?"

"It always feels... a little scary how cheap it is."

"but--"

Scathach felt the warmth from Ian's palm, and her eyes gradually became charming.

“That makes it more real.”

[You and Scathach made a contract.]

[The King of Shadow Kingdom has since taken an additional knight's oath.]

【Scathach is even more obsessed with you.】

【She is looking forward to the moment when she will be defeated by you.】

[Something seems a little strange—since that day, the red dragon has never appeared again.]

But you know that doesn't mean it's gone.

【after all--】

【Dragons are quite powerful creatures.】

"..."

Following a subtle feeling, Ian slowly opened his eyes.

The next thing he saw was Scathach staring at him.

The hand that came from her was moving restlessly in the quilt at this moment.

"you're awake?"

"Hmm... so can we stop now? Don't you think you should touch the Gae Bolg Alternative instead?"

"Hmm~" Scathach laughed, a look she only showed when she was happy with Ian.

"I thought I'd already said that, right? There's more than one type of Gae Bolg Alternative."

"Ian, you are also my Gae Bolg Alternative."

"..."

Seeing Ian speechless, Scathach's smile deepened.

but--

As the queen of the Shadow Kingdom, Scathach knows that pleasure must be expressed in moderation, otherwise it will surely bring disaster.

"Okay, no kidding."

She threw back the quilt like a Valkyrie.

“Ian——!”

"Let's start today's training!"

The training that Scathach mentioned had no other ambiguity.

She really wanted Ian to improve his martial arts.

Strong body——

Superb martial arts——

Excellent skills——

Scathach was so eager to be completely conquered by such an Ian.

She was ready to kneel before him as a defeated person.

Just before that...

He has to live up to his own standards.

To improve the efficiency of this process.

Scathach not only used her rune magic to move the originally extremely distant arena back to her and Ian's room.

At the same time, it is necessary to consider that relevant win-loss settlement will be made after training.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows chose to skip the process of removing her protective gear and went directly into battle in her most primitive state.

and so--

In Ian's eyes, Scathach appeared in front of him with a formal suit and holding the Gae Bolg Alternative.

That look can be said to be full of charm.

"Ok?"

"Are you stunned?" Scathach asked. "But even so, you must duel with me before you can do the rest."

"Or... you can't bear it anymore?"

"If that's the case, it's not impossible to just admit defeat—but of course I'll definitely punish you for that."
