My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

The girl from Tintagel looked him up and down, her tone tinged with doubt: "You didn't run away behind our backs, did you?"

"I just talked to him about my mother in the room, and then I went back to my room to sleep."

"It's that simple?"

Caster looked Bavanshi up and down in disbelief, but the fairy eyes didn't give any indication that she was lying.

It seems I was just overthinking things. With that guy's awful personality, Avi would never like her!

What she didn't know was that in the place hidden by the long red hair.

Bavanshi's ears were already blood red, proving that her inner peace was far from what she appeared to be.

Chapter 43 The Fairy Knight Who Stole Food

Gloria truly lives up to its reputation as a completely undefended commercial city, exuding a strong commercial atmosphere throughout, showing no interest in things like ringing the pilgrimage bell.

Even the city lord, after assessing the combat strength of both sides upon seeing Li Wei and his group, concluded that "going up to stop them would be a complete waste of time," and decisively moved far away, pretending not to have seen anything.

Are you kidding me? Even the ferocious and tyrannical fairy knight Tristan is standing there like a cat, too scared to move. Why would I risk my life?

If the sky falls, the fairy knights will hold it up; there's no need to take such a risk.

After a thousand years, Gloria's pilgrimage bell was finally rung, and Artoria's strength was enhanced once again.

If this continues, and all six bells are rung, I might not be a match for her. What if she beats me to my knees and takes me back to the Sea of ​​Stars?

Seeing the girl's happy face, Li Wei could only comfort himself, thinking that the savior wouldn't do such a thing.

Not far from Morgan's capital Camelot, the group, mindful that they shouldn't linger, replenished their supplies and immediately set off for their next destination—Orkney, located in the northern royal clan's territory—to ring the fourth bell.

The only obstacle along the way was Manchester, which stood in the way of the goblin knight Gawain.

“Bagust is not an easy person to talk to. She strictly follows her mother’s orders, executes them perfectly without any compromise, and is second only to me in loyalty.” This is Bavanshi’s evaluation of his colleague, which can be said to be quite high.

It turns out that even after spending a lot of time together, you may not truly understand your colleagues. Barvanshi probably never imagined that the first person to cuckold her mother would be Secretary Bagst.

So, at night, they still slept outdoors, and Li Wei still kept watch.

Everything went smoothly and all was well. As night fell, the girls went into the carriage to rest, and Li Wei also closed his eyes, wrapped himself in a blanket, and prepared to rest.

It was at this moment that strange sounds came from beside the boy again.

"what's the situation?"

Li Wei opened his eyes, and his first thought was that Melusin had come to attack him again.

There seem to be an unusually large number of night raids lately, which is making people a bit nervous.

"Bawanshi..." The boy relaxed considerably upon seeing the newcomer: "Why aren't you resting at this hour? Is there something you need?"

Given Bawanxi's personality, why would she come to see me in the middle of the night? Is she here for a life-changing discussion?

"In the end, you still have to complete the pilgrimage and fight against Mother, right?"

Leaning against Li Wei, the red-haired knight regained his gentle and loving demeanor and asked this question.

"Yes, I've already mentioned this, and Morgan knows about it too."

"..."

"If you're here to advise me, you'd better not say anything."

"No, I won't do that."

She burrowed into Li Wei's blanket like a fish, making herself bulge out, and the two of them pressed tightly together.

After all, she was a girl who looked more mature, and her figure was incomparable to that of Melusin. The temperature between the two rose accordingly.

Bavanshi's voice was somewhat low: "If your goals were so easily changed, you wouldn't have ended up like this with Norwich back then."

Her face was filled with resentment, and anyone who saw it would feel genuinely sorry for her.

“Bavanshi…”

“I will not stand with you against Mother. She has lost too much along the way, and has suffered countless blows and betrayals. I must stand with her, just like before.”

Before Li Wei could comfort her, the red-haired fairy knight quickly silenced the boy with a kiss, her eyes filled with reluctance and affection: "I will leave after sunrise tomorrow. Remember to say hello to this savior for me; I don't want to face separation again."

"Okay." Li Wei nodded in agreement.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Bawanshi showed a relieved expression and hugged the boy's arm even tighter.

At first, nothing seemed amiss, but as the red-haired fairy knight began to unbutton their clothes, Levi gradually realized that things were progressing differently than he had expected.

"I have never felt this way about anyone since I was reincarnated."

She said, "In every aspect, I am inferior to her. Whether it's finding a new partner, discovering the truth of the world, or finding a good man, she is always one step ahead of me."

But this time, I won't lose. You and she haven't done this before, right?

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes."

Bawanxi flipped over and straddled Li Wei, looking down at the boy with the air of an experienced older sister ready to devour the innocent young man.

However, her trembling hands and somewhat bewildered eyes proved that this guy was just all talk and no action.

Bawanshi, you have to keep it up! Didn't you already see the opera yesterday? It's just a simple thing, it won't be long before it ends.

"Wait a minute, this is..."

When the red-haired fairy knight realized that something seemed amiss, this Noble Phantasm was completely different from the type she had seen in operas.

Amidst the exclamations of the other party, Li Wei turned the tables and regained control.

"I'm really sorry, I'm not used to being passive, so please leave everything to me."

Inside the boy's tent, Bavanshi experienced for the first time what a penetrating wound felt like.

She'll probably be haunted by this for a long time to come.

……

The next morning.

"Huh? Bawanshi left?"

Stretching and yawning as she climbed out of the carriage, Artoria looked at the boy in surprise and found him full of energy, showing no signs of having not slept all night.

"Well, after all, she's Morgan's fairy knight, so it's impossible for her to always be with us."

"Oh……"

The girl from Tintagel looked a little disappointed.

Although she didn't admit it, she actually considered Bawanshi a good friend, having had very few friends growing up.

Faced with such an abrupt departure, the girl felt a little lost and reluctant.

"Alright, let's not think about these things anymore." Li Wei chose to change the subject, while also hiding the bloodstains on the blanket: "Yesterday, Bavanshi said you were secretly watching a play. Where did that come from?"

"They're all in the car; Aurora gave them to us before."

Artoria decisively climbed into the carriage and retrieved all the magic scrolls she had previously looked at, only to find the boy staring intently at the words he couldn't understand, his expression constantly changing.

"Um, Avi?" The girl looked at him nervously.

"It's nothing, I just remembered someone from the past," Li Wei shook his head, trying to sound casual.

"Mr. Merlin," I think I've found you.

Chapter 44 What you eat will eventually come back to you.

Thus, Bavanshi's departure did not cause too much trouble for the Saviors team; in some ways, it was even expected.

After spending a few days together, everyone developed a good friendship, but it was only at the friendship stage, obviously incomparable to Queen Morgan.

Levi and his party continued northward and successfully arrived in Manchester.

This is the fiefdom of the fairy knight Gawain. The fairies living here are almost all from the Fang Clan, and their appearance is mainly that of ferocious beasts. Some people with special fantasies would probably be overjoyed to see this.

For example, some Fu Rui fans, Fu Rui fans, and so on.

The boy's XP was normal, so he didn't think it was anything good. On the contrary, he felt it was troublesome that he couldn't disguise himself and blend in.

The appearance of several non-beast-shaped fairies in the territory of the Fang Clan was as conspicuous as a banana-shaped fairy among a group of beautiful girls and cross-dressers, practically screaming "I'm not a local, come and see me!"

This worry didn't last long, because soon a group of fully armed wolf riders surrounded the trio who hadn't yet entered the city and politely invited them to Bagst's residence to catch up.

"Shall we go?" Artoria asked Levi.

“We’ve already come to this point, we can’t not go, can we?” the boy comforted him. “Besides, I have a pretty good relationship with Bagst, so he shouldn’t make things too difficult for us.”

They've already gotten to the point where it's like Princess Connect! Re:Dive. With Bagst's personality, which strictly adheres to the code of chivalry, would he really lock himself in the basement and jump around for three months until his pelvis is shattered?

"hateful……"

Castor felt extremely uncomfortable, like a helpless husband who was forced to make his wife work as his boss's secretary because of debt, while he could only sigh and complain.

The savior girl watched the boy's retreating figure and uttered a line that sounded like that of a defeated dog: "One day, I will..."

……

Thus, outside Manchester, in a cave undetectable by any detector, was the place where Levi and his party were located.

This is Bagst's secret mansion, its location known only to a very few trusted confidants, and even they are unaware of the specific method of entry.

Therefore, in the secret base, which was not small in size, there were only four people in total, including Bagst and Levi.

"Uh huh huh~"

Inside the kitchen, Gawain, a fairy knight dressed in a maid's dress, was preparing food with great interest, humming a light and cheerful tune.

Contrary to her fierce and indomitable appearance in battle, she is actually a conservative type who is a good wife and mother. Before meeting Li Wei, she had no romantic experience, let alone kissing.

The bride's culinary skills, honed over a thousand years, are naturally superb; lunch will be served in a little while.

Today, I've prepared special dishes for the boys: garlic oysters, creamy oysters, beef stew with goji berries, and grilled kidneys—all delicious dishes that are beneficial for physical development and boosting spirits.

Artoria and Gareth were of no help whatsoever when it came to cooking.

Castor's roasted potatoes, when given to King David, could crush Goliath; his baked bread, when given to the First Emperor to build the Great Wall, could not be shed by Meng Jiangnu; his sliced ​​pork, so raw that Livy doubted it and tried to save it, could jump off the plate and kill Diarmuid; and his roasted meat was so oily that the American army was about to attack the dish.

Gareth is slightly better; his cooking is somewhere between human-edible and animal-edible, but it's definitely not delicious.

The only one who could help was Li Wei; the combination of men and women worked better than expected.

"The potatoes are already cut, but the roast meat will take another half hour." Since there was no one else around, the boy hugged Bagst from behind, startling the fairy knight so much that he almost turned around and elbowed him.

But he restrained himself, after all, no one had noticed, and the thought of the two girls waiting for dinner in the living room gave him a sense of immoral pleasure.

It's just like a loving young couple carrying their child on their backs; it's exciting to even think about.

No, Bagstaff! This is the man Her Majesty the Queen favors; this violates the code of chivalry…

Never mind, Livy isn't a knight—his fief has been stripped away, so there's no need to talk to him about chivalry.

Having figured this out, Bagst turned and embraced the boy tightly. Their lips pressed together passionately, drawing energy from each other, until the food in the pot began to smell as if it were about to burn, which startled the couple.

"Get out!" Bagst ordered, dismissing him.

"what?"

"I said, get out." The tall female knight unceremoniously shooed the boy out of the kitchen, completely unlike her previous affectionate demeanor.

"Right now, all I can think about is you, and all I can smell is your scent. If this keeps up, I'll be tempted to eat you up, so I'm leaving the kitchen right now."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Seeing the blush spreading across the other person's cheeks, the boy felt inexplicably happy.

Since that's the case, let Bagstie calm down by herself. She can handle everything in the kitchen by herself, even without me.

“If you’re bored, you can rest in my bedroom.” Seeing Levi about to turn and leave, Bagst felt a little reluctant, as if the meat he had almost eaten was about to fly away, and couldn’t help but remind him: “There are books and works of art in my room, you can pass the time.”

Inviting someone of the opposite sex into your private room so openly and honestly, Bagstaff, you're really bold.

But since the girl has already extended an invitation, it would be very inappropriate to refuse.

“Oh.” Levi nodded, leaving Bagst alone.

The moment the door to Bagst's bedroom was opened, a very fragrant scent, just like Bagst herself, wafted out.
