The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"That's not possible!"

Ian tightened his grip on the Excalibur Gallatin sword in his hand.

"If the fruit is too easy to pick, it will be considered cheap."

“…I think so, too.”

Scathach tightened her grip on the Gae Bolg Alternative.

"Only after hard work—"

“It is the toughest existence.”

[The duel method proposed by Scathach is obviously a huge challenge for you.]

【after all--】

Although she may be a bit cold, she has never lost to anyone in terms of figure.

[Just standing there like this is a huge challenge to your attention.]

【But what you don’t know is——】

【For Scathach, this is also a huge challenge. 】

She would have to concentrate extremely hard to take her attention away from your magnificence.

This was an unexpected gain.

[What was clearly a playful and affectionate act between husband and wife turned into a test of their wills.]

[Under this intense concentration, you guys are doing your best to execute the moves.]

[The King and Queen of the Shadow Kingdom seem to have discovered an incredible training method.]

【but--】

You finally lost.

[Scathach's mastery of the Gae Bolg Alternative is truly extraordinary.]

Even if you took out the Excalibur Gallatin, you still couldn't defeat her.

【But you can feel that the gap between you is getting smaller and smaller. 】

[“We will definitely defeat Scathach!”]

[Whether it's out of a man's desire or a knight's honor, it must be done! ]

【only--】

[While you were settling the duel, something unexpected happened.]

Boom——

Boom——

Several consecutive thunderclaps temporarily interrupted Ian and Scathach's lovemaking.

The two men, with traces of duel all over their bodies, realized that something was very wrong.

Fortunately-

Neither Ian nor Scathach is the type to indulge in physical pleasure.

They quickly took action.

The Queen and King of Shadow Kingdom quickly dressed, then jumped down from the City of Shadow one after another, and headed towards the place where the thunder sounded.

Just as expected——

The red dragon that had appeared before revealed its figure again.

only……

Something doesn't seem right.

It was seen that the bird, which had previously flapped its wings freely in the sky of the Kingdom of Shadows, was now making strange turns in the air.

The resulting turbulence traveled back and forth between the clouds, creating a scene that looked like the sky was being torn apart.

This scene was really strange for both Ian and Scathach.

But the Queen of Shadow Kingdom has never been the kind of person who would just wallow in doubts and do nothing.

Soon, she conjured up another spear that could penetrate the Death Fly (Gae Bolg Alternativ).

This is one of its real uses.

The first magic spear "nailed the enemy in space" and deprived him of his freedom, and then the second magic spear was thrown with full force to end his life.

This is how Gilgamesh was hunted.

but--

Just as Scathach was about to do so, she was stopped by Ian.

"Ian? What do you mean?"

Faced with Scathach's doubts, the man asked a strange question.

"Speaking of which-"

"There's no such thing as time in the Land of Shadows, right?"

"Ah."

"So...it could have existed any time ago, right?"

"..."

Scathach felt that Ian seemed to understand something.

"Just be frank—you know I don't like beating around the bush."

"I'm thinking……"

Ian looked at the red dragon in the sky.

"Could it be related to Altria?"

559. Scathach: Is This Your Lover? / The Red Dragon Descends to the Shadow Realm (4k)

"..."

Scathach's connection with Ian isn't limited to the bed.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows also knew quite well about Altria, whom he mentioned.

"what do you mean?"

"Why is the red dragon in the sky related to Artoria?"

This is a perfectly normal doubt.

Scathach had seen Altria during the Fourth Holy Grail War—she was a girl dressed in white and looked quite lovely.

If the magic power she unleashed during the battle hadn't been so powerful, the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows probably wouldn't have thought that this was a Servant from the Holy Grail War.

"..."

"By the way, do you know Altria's identity?"

Amidst thunder and lightning, Ian asked Scathach this.

"Saber? And it's the famous King Arthur, right?"

"Has she confessed to you yet?"

"It's not really a confession." Scathach recalled the scene.

After Artoria used her mortal sword to split the Holy Grail, the Queen of Shadow Kingdom also learned the name Ian Pendragon from her.

"She just mentioned you."

"Hmm... Although I haven't been with her for a long time, I can feel that she is a very good girl."

"If we could have met in a situation other than the Holy Grail War, I think we would have become good friends."

"only--"

Scathach looked at the man beside her, her blood-red eyes full of confusion.

"What on earth does this have to do with the red dragon before us?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, and after sorting out his thoughts, he spoke again:

"Scathach, this is what happened..."

[You told Scathach about Altria's tragic life story.]

【During this process, you did not hide your true feelings for her. 】

[This is a girl who deserves to be well protected, but because of that damn fate, she is forced to bear the future of the entire Britain.]

【Fortunately——】

【That is already in the past.】

You used your own life as a price to break these shackles for her.

[From now on, the only person who will appear in the Holy Grail War will be that pure and lovely girl.]

"..."

Scathach remained silent.

After a while, she finally spoke.

"In that case—"

"Isn't Altria your lover?"

"..."

"No." Ian shook his head. "To call her a lover is a bit unfair to her."

"But if you ask me to define her, I really don't know how to describe her better."

This is already a very high evaluation.

Scathach knew that if she continued asking like this, she would probably get some answers that she would find difficult to face.

"How many people do you have this kind of relationship with?"

"I'm a little unhappy."

"This……"

Ian thought for a while, then hugged the sulking Scathach and kissed her.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows resisted at first but then slowly fell into it.

After a while, when their lips separated, Scathach gave Ian a kiss.

"you……"

"You won't be angry now, will you?" Ian looked at Scathach, who looked like a Valkyrie in front of him. "This is all I can do."

"..."

"Next time you do this, let me kiss you."

"what?"

"I say!" Scathach stared at the man in front of her, "Next time you do this, let me kiss you!"

"This is my country. How can I let you take the initiative?!"

"..."

Ian was stunned at first, then he laughed.

"I understand, Your Majesty."
