My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

Chapter 37 Of All Martial Arts, This is a Sleeping Technique (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

The next morning, Gareth, who was used to going to bed early and getting up early, yawned as he climbed out of the carriage; he had slept quite well the night before.

The bed was soft, the pillows were comfortable, there were more snacks in the car than she could eat, and there was a handsome young man she could completely trust outside the car. This kind of life was the happiest time she had ever experienced.

As soon as I stepped outside, I looked up and saw Li Wei sitting in the same spot, gazing at the sky, looking thoughtful.

The dog-girl was very curious and rushed over to the boy's side: "What's wrong, Avi? What happened last night? Did a monster invade the territory or were the queen's pursuers coming? Are you alright?!"

The boy tilted his head to look at Gareth, his tone somewhat wistful: "It's nothing, just that I'm amazed that dragons truly are one of the strongest creatures."

"Huh?" The puppy-dog girl stood there, completely at a loss for words to answer Li Wei's question.

"It's nothing, just a simple observation about the diversity of life." Li Wei patted Gareth's head and smiled. "Breakfast is ready. Go and call Caster out for lunch. We'll try to reach Gloria before noon."

"Oh..." The girl nodded as if she understood, and obediently went back.

Ignoring the little incident last night, the all-night battle between Levi and Lancelot continued until dawn, ending in a draw, and they agreed to fight again next time.

The boy was confident that, thanks to Dr. Bian's teachings and Scáthach's hands-on training, he had never encountered a worthy opponent. Whether it was the Yin-Yang, who seemed like an insatiable humanoid cave, or Arcueid's true form, arguably the strongest being he had ever seen, or Bagst, who possessed the [Survival of the Fittest] ability and grew stronger with each battle, they would all ultimately succumb to his relentless gunplay.

Only Melousin was different. For the first time, Li Wei felt the taste of something that was impossible to defeat and could only remain undefeated.

Is this the physical ability of a dragon...? Cute Arcueid is no less capable than her, yet she also convulsed and fainted?

Is that because of her unparalleled combat talent...? Scáthach's combat talent was even more astonishing, and in the end, she was so overwhelmed that she vomited.

Then there is only one possibility: Melusin is an unparalleled genius in this area, even surpassing himself.

She was petite, slender, and thin, weighing only about 20 kg and standing less than 1.5 meters tall. She had a long, slender build, with her legs making up about 60% of her body. Subtracting her head and neck, her upper body was only about 40-50 centimeters long… almost piercing through.

Last night, she was even able to grab her own weapon through the other's armor with her bare hands, but this did not cause Lancelot any pain. On the contrary, it spurred her into a frenzy of battle, making her more courageous with each setback.

When the battle ended at dawn, Melusin transformed into a dragon and flew away as if nothing had happened, seemingly without any problems.

Although it was called a draw, Li Wei knew very well that if the fight continued, he would lose sooner or later.

It seems I've been too lazy in my practice lately; I should spend more time practicing.

Seeing Li Wei's competitive spirit inexplicably ignited, the girls sitting across the table exchanged glances and communicated with each other through their eyes.

Is Avi alright?

Having motivation is a good thing, but what are the reasons for that motivation?

Artoria: [What's wrong with Avi?]

Gareth: [That's unbelievable.]

Artoria: [Did someone offend him?]

Gareth: [It's less about that and more about him provoking someone else.]

After exchanging ideas, the two girls still couldn't grasp the key points.

Artoria: [Maybe I've been too stressed lately. How about we take Gloria on a date to help her relax when we get there?]

Gareth: [Yay!]

"It's decided! From now on, I'll set aside an extra hour every day to review the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic!"

The boy, who was eating breakfast, ignored the girls across from him and made his own decision.

Artoria and Gareth exchanged a glance, then confirmed it again:

[Go on a date as soon as you arrive in Gloria!]

"Yes, we can't stop for a moment. The bell will ring again later."

……

"Huh? A date?"

After arriving in Gloria and finding a high-class hotel to stay in, Levi looked at the two girls in front of him in surprise.

That's true. They've both worked so hard all this time and haven't really enjoyed their youth.

They are only about fifteen or sixteen years old, high school students, yet they have to shoulder the burden of saving the world. This world is still too harsh on them.

Li Wei, who was also a sixteen-year-old high school student, couldn't help but think this way.

"No...it wasn't a date, it was just a normal shopping trip!"

"shop?"

"Yes, it's about walking hand in hand on the street, shopping in clothing stores, eating delicious food, enjoying the scenery, and creating precious memories together."

"Isn't that a date?"

"certainly not!"

No matter how strong she usually appears, and how reckless and impulsive she is like a wild boar charging forward, Artoria is still a girl after all, and she can't bring herself to invite boys on dates.

"Oh." Not wanting to dwell on the language any longer, Li Wei nodded in agreement: "Then let's go."

"I meant we should pay attention to balancing work and rest... Uh!"

I originally thought that Li Wei, who has always been very serious, would say something like the current situation is serious, this place is not a safe place to stay, and we should ring the pilgrimage bell immediately and go to the next destination, but I didn't expect the boy to agree so quickly.

I said, "Let's go."

Li Wei shook his head: "Artoria, you've never been here before, have you? Gareth has been before, but he certainly didn't stroll around as carefree as a princess. In that case, we can relax a bit. The Fairy Kingdom has waited for over two thousand years; can't we wait a few more days?"

"oh oh……"

Hearing him say that, Artoria felt inexplicably uneasy.

I originally wanted Li Wei to relax, but I ended up being treated like a playful kid—even though I was genuinely looking forward to shopping.

But the feeling of being treated like a minor by the teenagers bothered her a lot.

The thought of Li Wei's intimate and inseparable relationship with the city lord Aurora before he left made her feel a sense of crisis.

Not to mention Queen Morgan, who knew him even earlier and whose status and position were far superior to his own.

"It doesn't matter, these are just losers. As long as the pilgrimage ceremony is completed, the final winner will definitely be me, Artoria Caster. Can any other fairy do that!"

They say love is war.

At least at this moment, the girl looked full of fighting spirit and high morale.

Chapter 38 When kids misbehave, it's usually because they're naughty; a good beating will fix it.

In the afternoon, on the bustling streets of Gloria, the fairy kingdom, Li Wei and his entourage were enjoying a pleasant stroll.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a trading city comparable to Norwich. The streets are packed with people, and if you consider just one street, its prosperity surpasses even Norwich's main thoroughfare.

However, compared to Norwich, which deals in a wide range of trades, Gloria focuses more on trendy clothing, cosmetics, and various fashion items, making her quite popular with girls.

This also brought a lot of new experiences to Li Wei and his group of four—at least for the uneducated village girl Artoria and the wandering Gareth, the new styles of clothing and delicious snacks that appeared from time to time amazed them.

The reason it's described as four people is that, in addition to the two people mentioned above and Li Wei, this small group bumped into an acquaintance while shopping and then happily joined in... well, actually it wasn't that pleasant.

"What an ignorant country girl, always shouting and yelling."

The one who would say such a thing is undoubtedly Queen Morgan's "daughter," who has met Levi a few times, and is feared by other fairies and can stop children from crying at night. She is the fairy knight Bavanshi who was bestowed the title of Tristan.

The city's streets are protected by a special barrier that suppresses the power of any fairy entering the city, thus preventing violence. This is why Li Wei and his group dared to enter the city without disguise.

As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, they bumped into Bavanshi, who was there for some unknown reason.

"You're really taking it easy, aren't you?"

At that moment, the fairy knight Tristan looked Livi up and down, his tone full of dissatisfaction: "Don't you feel any tension about being captured, Guinevere? I really don't understand why you would abandon your mother for such an ignorant country girl (Artoria: "What's wrong with a country girl? Did the country girl eat your rice!") and a dog (Gareth: "Eh? A dog? Aren't I a knight?").

“Bawanshi, this has nothing to do with your identity. You are still young. Don’t let things get too tragic for me and your mother,” Li Wei said earnestly.

After all, he was already a sixteen-year-old youth, and he wouldn't stoop to the level of a hundred-year-old girl.

"And why do you still call me Guinevere? Aren't I already a wanted criminal?"

“You’ve only been stripped of your territory; the title was an honor previously bestowed upon you, and it wasn’t taken away with it.” Bawanshi was still dissatisfied: “You should pay attention to etiquette and your circle of friends. Don’t hang out with those village girls from who-knows-where all the time; it will lower your status. When we take you back to marry Mother, the three of us will still have to live a good life.”

I think I heard something really shocking. Could you describe in detail the daily life of this family of three?

And why are you looking me up and down like you're picking out pork at the market? Even if I'm marrying Morgan, it's not like I'm marrying you, so why are you so concerned about me?

“What do you mean by marrying your mother? Avi is going to ring the pilgrimage bell with me and then return to the Inner Sea of ​​the Stars!” Artoria retorted sharply.

Is this even possible? When was this agreed to...? I had no idea!

And when you said that, didn't you look at Gareth? Both his ears were drooping, like a stray dog ​​facing abandonment after learning his owners are moving.

"What's so great about the Starry Sea? My mother's fairy kingdom is much better!"

"You're the one who's ignorant! That's Gensokyo, a place without sadness or regret, you bastard!"

"The Fairy Kingdom is the best!"

"The Sea Within the Stars is the best in the world!"

"Fairy Country!"

"Gensokyo!"

The two men faced each other like two little foxes, glaring fiercely at one another, trying to make the other back down.

If it weren't for Gloria's special barrier preventing her from fighting, they might already be locked in a fierce battle by now.

After realizing that this behavior was pointless, the two turned their attention to Li Wei.

"Then, Lord Avi/Guinevere."

"Huh?" The boy who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, rubbing Gareth's head to calm him down, was taken aback.

"So, after everything is over."

"You're going to live with me and Mom in the Fairy Kingdom."

"Do you still want to come back to Gensokyo in the Inner Sea with me?"

"..."

The boy paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Actually, I want to go back to my own home."

Unfortunately, telling the truth isn't always welcomed these days.

"No, you have to choose one of the two!"

"That's right, that's right, the Fairy Kingdom can be your home too~" The red-haired girl named Bavanshi started promoting: "The Queen of Britain, second only to the king, and she can occasionally have an affair with me, isn't that great?"

So you're already prepared for me to cheat on you?

"How shameless! You even cheated on me!" Artoria said magnanimously, pushing Tristan away with a single movement, clearly having the upper hand in terms of strength. "The Starry Sea is much better than the Fairy Kingdom. It's full of paradise fairies like me. Everyone will like you!"

Are they all Artoria? What kind of heaven or hell is that...?

"Mother said that all the fairies in Paradise look very similar. What's the point of having so many that are the same?"

How did Morgan know that the fairies in Paradise looked so alike...? I think I know something now.

"The members of the Fairy Kingdom are basically all beasts, not a single one of them has any humanity. Aren't you afraid of suffering from insomnia living here?"

That's true, there's no reason to refute it.

Gareth: "Actually, I think Avi could also come back to the Mirror Clan's ancestral home, the Lake District, with me..."

Unfortunately, as soon as he spoke, he was stared at by the two of them and shrank into a ball, making a sound like a bullied little animal, and dared not say any more.

"Lord Avi/Guinevere, where are you going?"

"You must stay in the Fairy Kingdom with me and my mother, right?"

"No, no, no, Gensokyo is the real answer. If you get tired of the Starry Sea, you can travel to another area also called Gensokyo~"

"Lord Guinevere~"

"Avi~"

Fairy Knight Bavanshi grabbed Levi's left arm and shook it repeatedly. Seeing this, Artoria immediately came over and grabbed his other arm, refusing to let go. It seemed that they would not give up until they got the result they wanted.

Without hesitation, amidst the girls' gasps, Li Weihai tucked one under each arm, walked into the room he had just booked, threw them all onto the bed, and took off their skirts.

Then he swung his hand and hung him up to spank his buttocks.
