Type-Moon, I will rewrite Lostbelts!

Knight Kay had already convinced himself.

“I accept your courage, and I look forward to your performance next.”

The changes in her life over the past decade or so are not only something Kai needs time to process, but also something Artoria needs time to process. However, she is now the queen.

As she caught the sharp claws, Artoria's gaze shifted slightly, as if, according to tradition, she was about to offer some benefit or treasure.

However, she currently has no actual territory and no treasures—Merlin previously mentioned that gloves might count, but if I don't wear gloves, will socks work?

Artoria was lost in thought when her gaze suddenly fell upon something, which she recognized as a pendant.

Centered around two teeth gleaming with the luster of white jade, surrounded by an unidentified object of transparent material, the most captivating feature is the surging blue magical patterns within the material. Individual pieces are linked together to form a whole, mysterious and magnificent—truly a treasure.

"Take it. I got it in exchange. As king, you can't lose face, can you?"

Merlin's voice rang in her ears, and Artoria showed a knowing look. As expected of Merlin, he was already prepared.

Artoria caught it and slowly presented it to Kai: "This is a reward for Lord Kai's bravery."

"As a king, one must always be ready to reward one's subordinates."

"That's what Mary said."

"By the way, your forging skills are quite good."

"It's alright, I learned from a few senior colleagues for a while."

Emiya Shirou stroked the white demon cat beside him, which had lost two canine teeth and claws, but his emotions did not rise much.

"Tsk, he's clearly a young man, but he has the air of an old man." Melly grumbled, but didn't pursue the matter further.

"The rewards are over, it's time for us to set off."

"OK."

Emiya Shirou agreed, lowered his body to be at eye level with the demon cat, and instructed, "Remember, next time you encounter people, remember to run away. Don't go to areas where humans gather, and don't touch anything humans keep."

"As a return gift for losing your teeth and nails, please accept these mushrooms for now, and this is a good thing that might come in handy at an important moment."

Pushing the mushroom over, Shirou Emiya casually crafted a necklace with a small tag attached and hung it around the other person's neck. The tag had four characters written on it.

[Merlin/Shirou].

With such a treasure, it might actually come in handy at a crucial moment.

"Ow~"

The white demonic cat growled softly, watching the group of strangers leave. It circled the dead black cat a few times, its eyes filled with pride and disdain, before raising its head to depart.

Ok?

My body feels like I can't move?

Ouch——

He wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound, and couldn't even close his open mouth.

"Making noises might attract attention, which is not good behavior~"

A girl with gray hair and a graceful figure strolled out; it was Morgan, whom Shirou Emiya had met before!

With a blank expression, it swept across the big cat's nose and landed on the small sign on its neck.

"A sign signed by Merlin, are you the pet of that nightmare?"

Seemingly recalling unpleasant memories, the girl increased the pressure in her hands. It must be said that Shirou Emiya's skill was truly remarkable; the delicate chain did not break, though the demon cat was squeezed so tightly that its eyes rolled back in its head.

"I hate that inhuman thing, and that's why I hate you too."

"What a pity, she's actually quite cute. But there's nothing we can do about it, since you had contact with that guy~"

Her slender fingers rested on the center of her forehead, her eyes devoid of any compassion, until she saw the remaining two words on the sign.

"Shirou? Who is this?"

Although I don't want to admit it, that nightmare was indeed something special; the fact that it was written together with the other person's name meant that it must have some extraordinary abilities.

"Tell me everything you know, everything!"

Morgan pulled out a bottle of potion from somewhere and poured it down his throat, gently stroking the cat's head as a gentle reminder.

"I don't know anything, meow—wait, I can talk now, meow?!"

This was the first time the demon cat had encountered something like this. Curiosity and excitement made it forget its current situation for a moment, until the sharp dagger stopped in front of its eyes.

"Meow!!! I really don't know, meow! All I know is that Shirou is a good person, meow!"

"Not only did he give me mushrooms to eat, but he also petted me incredibly well, meow. I really don't know anything else about him!"

The demon cat quickly revealed everything, but not everything.

Everyone says it's possible, but it's unlikely that everything will be said.

"Who cares about what's going on with that guy named Shirou? What I want to know is how he's related to Merlin, and how he's related to that blond guy who's with him."

Morgan interrupted him with a slap on his forehead and asked directly.

The little cat's brain was working at lightning speed. The red-haired human (Emiya Shirou) was a good person, cat, and the human in front of him was a bad person, cat. The bad person in front of him disliked the white-haired human (Merlin) who was with him at the time. If the red-haired human (Emiya Shirou) said that he was a friend of the white-haired human (Merlin), then he was also someone that the guy in front of him disliked.

After quickly arriving at a set of conclusions, the Demon Cat decided that no matter what, the red-haired human (Emiya Shirou) and the white-haired man (Merlin) should not have a good relationship!

"Red-haired humans don't get along with white-haired humans! But they get along well with the blond person you mentioned!"

The demon cat didn't know the relationship between the red-haired human (Shirou Emiya) and the blonde human (Artoria), but it knew that the blonde was not someone to mess with! From this perspective, the person in front of it definitely wouldn't dare to provoke the other, which meant the red-haired human was out of danger!

As expected of me, cat!

"A very good relationship?"

Morgan narrowed his eyes upon receiving the answer, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Whether they are temporary companions or people from surrounding towns, it doesn't matter anymore. When someone has connections with both Merlin and Artoria, it doesn't matter who they are or where they live.

That guy is destined to be drawn to her, and in the end, he will become a puppet and belong to her!

"Hahaha!"

The thought of her friend becoming her possession filled Morgan with immense pleasure!

"We still need to carefully choose the method. We can't rush this. It would be best to improve our relationship with that Shirou so that the results will be better."

Morgan got up and left, and a magic circle appeared beneath the black cat behind him, devouring the corpse.

"That matter seems to be almost finished, and it seems we can begin."

"Heh heh, the King of Britain, let me 'help you' out!"

Volume 1: 10. The Wyvern Arrives!

The cat-catching incident was ultimately just a side story on the journey and didn't cause much of a stir for the four-person group, nor did it lead to any proof of payment. The matter was thus dropped.

After replenishing their supplies, they headed towards the city to the north.

"Hehe, that scene was really interesting. Those people's mouths practically dropped when they found out who the king was."

"By the way, I saw you hiding something good, so don't keep it all to yourself!"

Having become the knight of the king, and with the arrival of the demon cat also earning his respect for Shirou Emiya, Gai is now free from all constraints.

While making sarcastic remarks about the village officials, he sidled up to Shirou Emiya and muttered something under his breath.

Although he was initially annoyed by this guy's sudden appearance and the king's approval, the guy was indeed quite capable. Having eaten his fill these past few days, he had to admit that the king had excellent judgment.

As expected of a king!

"Wait a minute, I'm not going to embezzle it." Shirou Emiya pushed the face that was leaning towards him away and explained.

"These mushrooms are very good, not only in terms of quality but also in terms of flavor. Rather than eating them directly, they can be used as a seasoning so that they can last longer."

After all—Emiya Shirou looked at the blond figure with an insatiable stomach, who could only eat so much at most one meal, and there was nothing left.

"Alright~ By the way, I've heard that there's a country overseas that makes a soup with milk and mushrooms. Do you know how to make it, Emiya Shirou?"

Kai recalled asking questions; as a nobleman, he had heard of other countries.

Overseas countries, old France?

Emiya Shirou considered how to respond: "Milk and mushroom soup? If you'd like some, I'll arrange it for you tonight."

Emiya Shirou knew and understood that the other party had been hostile towards him before, and now that the other party wanted to make peace, he naturally wouldn't turn a blind eye. As the saying goes, it's better to have more friends than more enemies.

"Safe!" Kai gave a thumbs up.

"Cough cough!"

Artoria, who was walking at the front, turned around and showed half of her face, saying earnestly, "Make sure you do as much as possible!"

Milk and mushroom soup sounds delicious, let's have more!

"Try your best, after all, this is soup, not a main dish." Emiya Shirou didn't offer a solution, but simply reminded him in advance.

"Understood, thank you for your trouble, Minister Emiya!"

Upon receiving the answer, Artoria turned around, her emotions visibly rising to a new level.

"Then don't forget." Kai said, then sped back behind the king.

Emiya Shirou slowed down slightly to match the speed of a certain magician. He had some questions to ask, and just as he was about to speak, a petal fell. This guy had activated a soundproofing spell.

Emiya Shirou frowned: "Why did you stop me from moving around just now?"

"Because if you went any further you might see something unpleasant, so I stopped you." Meryl no longer had that smiling look on her face, and she said some strange things.

"A bad scene?" Shirou Emiya repeated in a low voice, without saying anything more.

Back to this morning, the four of them woke up after camping in the new town. The local residents and nobles warmly welcomed them, and everything was fine until Shirou Emiya, as was his custom, went out for a stroll.

Where do you want to go? We're leaving in a bit!

Mary blocked the way ahead, speaking with a smile.

At the time, Shirou Emiya didn't think much of it and turned around and went back.

But the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. First of all, half an hour had passed since he went back before he left, which was enough time for him to turn around and come back. But even though he had enough time, he wasn't allowed to move around, which is why he asked the question.

"Well~ just leave everything to Ekto who's coming from behind~" Meryl said inexplicably, raising her staff and pointing forward.

"Look, the wyvern is coming!"

"Roar!!!"

A black dot kept growing larger, and a roar resounded through the sky.

"A monster is approaching! Lord Emiya Shirou, is this edible?!"

Artoria's first words after she raised her blade were words of caution, and her second question was whether it was safe to eat.

“Normally it’s safe to eat, but we’ll have to see how things go,” Shirou Emiya replied earnestly.

“Great!” Artoria’s eyes lit up. The fact that she didn’t directly refuse meant there was a high probability of it!

"Roar!!!"

The roar was right next to their ears, and the overlord of the sky hovered above them. It had green skin and typical Western dragon behavior, but it was a small one that could only retreat.

"His eyes are bright and he is alert, with no obvious external injuries." Shirou Emiya looked him over and then glanced to the side. Merry nodded and said, "His magical energy flow is fine."

Based on their assessment, the two wyverns were a rare and high-quality ingredient.

"It's edible! Remember to prepare it neatly, preferably by cutting off the head in one blow, and try not to hit it."

"give it to me!"

Artoria nodded in response, her sharp eyes fixed on the two-legged dragon circling in the sky.

In the sky, the two-legged wyvern, as the overlord, was naturally not stupid. It sensed something was wrong with these little creatures below, and the monster's intuition warned it.

but!

A hegemon must have the spirit of a hegemon!

"Roar!!"

The wyvern roared to encourage itself, charging forward with the confidence it had honed since birth!

"Well done!"
