Vivian: "This goes back to before. Let me think carefully about how to explain it to you clearly."

It was very slow. Vivian recounted the beginning and course of events.

The gist of it is that after defeating Uther Pendragon, Vortigern attempted to merge himself into the consciousness of the island beneath his feet, or to merge the island's consciousness into himself—in short, to become one.

At first, no one cared or knew about it, after all, this kind of thing was too explosive and difficult, and not many people believed it.

Until recently, Vivian, as the Lady of the Lake, had a very close connection with the British islands. She could sense that there was suddenly one more being that could be called the British consciousness.

Here, I'd like to mention another character who can be called Artoria Pendragon.

Vivian investigated the cause with suspicion, eventually pinpointing the location to the lair of her friend Shirou's greatest enemy, where only one person had the probability of being there...

Emiya Shirou: "So, you noticed the problem before, but didn't pay attention to it? You only realized it after everything was over?"

To be honest, Shirou Emiya didn't know what an island consciousness combination was; he only knew that the place where this happened was a bit silly.

Vivian: "...This was an accident. I felt something was wrong a few years ago and wanted to check it out, but I was delayed by some things in the past few years."

Damn it, who do you think you can blame me for! If I hadn't been so engrossed in our conversation, how could I have forgotten!

Vivian mentally complained about her friend, but didn't say it aloud.

Emiya Shirou: "There's nothing we can do when something goes wrong. After all, you're just one person, so it's normal for mistakes to happen. So what's the impact? Has the opponent's strength increased?"

At this time, Shirou Emiya didn't pay too much attention. In the past few years, Ria's development had been incredibly rapid, almost inhuman.

That light cannon, capable of destroying a city with a single strike, was fired as if it were free.

However, Vivian's next words dealt him a blow.

Vivian: "Their strength has definitely increased dramatically. Take Artoria as an example, neither of them can kill the other."

Vivian: "Vortigern has become a white dragon. He is invincible as long as he is on this island. Artoria is not like that. She can only rely on the scabbard to save her life. If she leaves the scabbard, Vortigern can kill her."

"!!!"

Emiya Shirou didn't even notice the strange gender terminology; instead, he jumped to his feet, staring at the text with a furrowed brow.

I looked at it over and over again, and finally found two words among the individual characters.

Invincible

“Invincible…” Shirou Emiya repeated, then tapped the table. “Merry, come here right now!”

The beautiful, silver-haired girl with pretty petals and mysterious magic made a mistake; she immediately moved close to Shirou Emiya upon her appearance.

"What's wrong, disciple? Is there something you need?"

Emiya Shirou blocked with one hand: "Stop joking. I just got word that Vortigern has turned into a white dragon. Check if it's true."

"What! It's turned into a white dragon?!"

Meili instantly returned to normal and looked towards the city where the other person was.

The white dragon stood tall amidst the ruins, while Artoria and Lancelot knelt on the ground, and countless warriors lay dead or wounded...

The image appeared and then disappeared, leaving only the white dragon standing there.

"wait for me!"

With a tap of her staff, Mary disappeared, leaving behind a single sentence. Three minutes later, she returned, nodding with a somber expression.

"It's true, that guy's magic trick worked."

"A magic trick? It worked? You knew?"

Emiya Shirou seized the opportunity, and Merry nodded honestly: "I knew and I didn't know, I just had some suspicions, but I wasn't completely sure. I didn't expect that this wait would be the end of it."

For a moment, Mary was in a daze. She had always been able to see the future and would never miss anything, unless she wanted to.

But this time was different; she really didn't intend to miss it on purpose, but rather simply didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Because of him, a lot of things happened. Did the future occasionally deviate from the plan, causing me to relax?" Melly thought to herself.

"Yeah, it's all your fault, Emiya boy," Merry thought to herself.

"Fine, I won't complain about you anymore. By the way, can this be resolved?"

Emiya Shirou asked.

Meryl shook her head: "It's not something that can be solved under normal circumstances."

"So that means abnormal situations can be resolved?"

"Yes...we need a weapon, a very special weapon...the name of that weapon is..."

【Lengominiad】

The Holy Lance Rungomminiad, a legendary existence. Shirou Emiya's first reaction was that the other party was joking, but then he thought about the other party's identity and the holy sword wielded by Artoria.

With so much already happened, nothing seems surprising anymore.

"So, should we call Lia back?"

Emiya Shirou's unexpected relaxation surprised Merry.

"No need, we can just make the trip. Once we get it, we can hand it over to Liya."

"Us?" Shirou Emiya was taken aback.

Mary nodded emphatically and smiled: "Yes! That's right, us."

"Since Rungomminiad is now protected by fairies, it's up to you to communicate with them. If I were to do it myself, I'm afraid it would come at a price."

Emiya Shirou stroked his chin. Sure enough, there was always a problem before the most precious thing to accomplish the mission.

Fairies, they must be easy to get along with, after all, they are fairies.

Amidst the beautiful words used to describe fairies, and with Artoria needing a double attack at this moment, Shirou Emiya nodded in agreement.

"Sure, is there anything I need to prepare in advance?"

"No need, let's get going!"

The familiar teleportation magic, the familiar forest, lake, and people...

Vivian, who was suddenly confronted by someone, exclaimed, "Ah!!!"

Finding it amusing, Merry joined in the exclamation: "Ah!!!"

The two called out to Emiya Shirou, who was also called that to fit in: "...Huh?!?!"

The three screams echoed through the forest, lasting for three minutes before Vivian stopped, blushing, and covered the mouths of the other two with one hand each.

"Stop yelling! You two!"

"Hehe, this is very interesting~" Merlin, now back in her original form, removed her hand and grinned mischievously.

Emiya Shirou took a step back, preparing to break free from the soft, fragrant hand, but... he failed to break free, and the hand retreated as well.

?

"Ahem, don't worry about the details." Vivian retorted, blushing, her eyes lingering on her face for a long time before she finally took her hand down.

Damn it, we rarely get to meet, why does this girl, Meryl, have to be here!

That annoying best friend of mine always bothers me out of the blue!

Over the years of chatting, Vivian's affection for Shirou Emiya grew rapidly. At the same time, due to the customs and habits of this era and her own, Vivian took the initiative.

It's fair to say that she'd rather just devour Emiya Shirou than confess her feelings.

As for what to eat and how to eat it, that's their business.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

After giving a disapproving look to Merry, who seemed to be enjoying doing something naughty, Vivian finally withdrew her hand from Shirou Emiya's mouth and then rested her chin on her hand.

Hmm, not bad~

"Hehe, you know about Vortigern's matter too. There's only one way to resolve this, and I need you to take us there."

"I'm in a good mood because stopping my friend from doing whatever she wants makes her feel bad," said Mary.

"Holy Lance Rungomminiad, you're certainly giving me trouble. But since you mentioned this before, I won't say anything more. Come with me."

Vivian's gaze fell on Shirou Emiya, her pupils showing hesitation. Should she take him with her?

Merry brought him here because she wanted to take him with her, but Vivian was worried that the fairies would be unable to resist seeing Shirou Emiya and might cause trouble.

Perhaps this is the kind of trouble that comes from caring about someone—always worrying about them being taken away.

Volume 1: 46. Vivian: What about me, Shirou, who's that big?

"The Holy Lance Rungomminiad is said to be protected by us fairies for generations, but in reality, most of the time it's not protected; it just happens to be here."

On the small boat, Vivian stood at the bow, telling her friend Shirou Emiya the truth.

Avalon and the Holy Lance were the first to appear, followed by the birth of the fairies.

The fairies are said to be the custodians of the Holy Lance, but in reality, only those who open the gates deserve to be called that. However, the number of fairies who can freely travel to the gates of Avalon is limited.

They can't even get through the main gate, what kind of custodian is this?

Vivian silently complained, finally leaving with the comment: "Fairies are very strange creatures. It's interesting that they would admit to being the custodian of the Holy Lance to deceive others, so they would do it."

"So, I won't take you to see the fairies this time. Let's just go get our things."

The thought of the fairy Shirou Emiya made Vivian absolutely unwilling to let him meet her.

A bunch of non-humanoid things that would only defile Shirou if they met!

Defiler!

Clear!

"Thank you for informing me," Emiya Shirou said, expressing his gratitude after gaining access to this strange historical information.

"Hehe, no need to be so polite~"

Vivian instantly transformed into a naive and gentle woman with a sweet smile, causing Meryl next to her to roll her eyes repeatedly.

What is that? It looks like it's in heat. Humans are indeed a strange species; even normal conversation can sound like that.

But is this guy human now?

Emiya Shirou didn't pay much attention to it, his focus was drawn to the surrounding scenery. As the small boat moved forward, the surrounding environment had undergone tremendous changes.

The mysterious sky, the colorful lake surface radiating inexplicable light, everything is filled with mystery.

As Vivian smiled, as Meryl's thoughts wandered, and as Shirou Emiya admired the passing scenery, the small boat slowly came to a stop, and a tall tower appeared before them.

"Is this where the Holy Lance Rungomminiad is kept?"

Emiya Shirou asked curiously.

"Yes, this is it. Let's go in."

Vivian placed her hand on the door, a magic circle appeared and then disappeared, and with a click, she pushed the door open to reveal the scene inside: a spiral staircase extending upwards, with no end in sight.

"What? We're here already! Let's go!"

Meili lunged forward, blocking the two of them, smiling at her best friend while meeting her displeased gaze.

Meryl: "Heh heh (a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips)"

Do you think I don't know what you're up to? You want to slip on the road ahead and end up in your apprentice's arms, right?

Alternatively, you could have Shirou Emiya walk in front and then secretly use magic to make him slip, or you could simply follow behind and sniff around.

Hehe, you can't hide from my eyes!

My dear disciple, I have protected you once again!

Emiya Shirou couldn't understand the exchange between the two women, but seeing them blocking the way, he still spoke up: "Um, aren't we going up now? Is there anything else we need to prepare?"

"Tsk, I guess I'm just unlucky!" Vivian glared at the grinning Mary, then turned and walked upstairs.

Merry followed with a victorious smile, with Shirou Emiya close behind.

Actually, there's only one key point to all of this: it's interesting to watch the other person's expression, especially after they try to do something but fail!

[Doing nothing, just playing!]

This has always been Meryl's view, and it has never changed.
