Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

“...an important person.”

In a daze, the girl remembered something her mother had said to her long ago.

The boy who wields the "Black Holy Sword" and the "Infinite Sword"—

He is none other than Arthur, the ancestral king of the fairy kingdom of Britain... my and my mother's husband.

Is all of this really just a coincidence?

The red-haired fairy placed her hand on the boy's cheek.

So warm... It feels so familiar...

"What is your name...?"

Shirou replied, taking her hand in return.

"Shirou, my name is Shirou."

“Shirou… um… I’ve got it.”

Avanger narrowed his eyes and murmured.

"……Time is up.

Although I really want to say that we'll probably never see each other again, I... always feel like we might meet again.

After saying this, the girl turned into light and disappeared.

And so, the crisis of the Greater Grail was resolved through the self-sacrifice of an unnamed girl.

The Fourth Holy Grail War ended in chaos.

"..."

Shirou stared wistfully at his empty arms, then silently rose.

Before he could even stand up straight, he felt a wave of dizziness.

The accumulated fatigue surged up like a tide, and the boy's body fell forward uncontrollably.

"Shirou!" "Master!"

Before losing consciousness, I heard Saber and Lady Avalon's panicked voices.

……

……

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar ceiling.

"Ah, I'm awake!"

A quiet, girlish voice rang in my ears.

With difficulty, I turned my gaze and saw the face of my "colleague".

She—the fairy knight Tristan—looked displeased: "Why are you in my room?"

Hearing her say that, the fairy knight Lancelot, who was guarding the bedside, said indignantly:

Is this how you talk to someone who saved your life?

"Savior... my benefactor?" The fairy knight Tristan frowned slightly.

At this moment, the other woman by the bed—the fairy knight Gawain—spoke up to explain:

“Tristan, you fell out of the window of the room...and into the big cave behind Camelot.”

The fairy knight Tristan stared in disbelief: "What did you say?"

The Great Cave located in the very center of Britain.

On the north side of the great cave, a city wall was built as if to protect it, which is now the royal capital, Camelot.

In the legends of the Fairy Kingdom, the Great Cave is a place used to discard all useless things.

As the successor to Queen Morgan, she knows part of the truth:

There lies a curse that has accumulated for over ten thousand years, where a planet-level calamity slumbers, and the curse god Kornunos.

...Did I fall into that kind of place?

"That's right, that's right."

The fairy knight Lancelot said smugly, "I pulled you out from the deepest part of the great cave, didn't I? Hurry up and thank me!"

The fairy knight Tristan ignored her and turned to Gawain, asking, "How long have I been asleep?"

Gawain tilted his head and thought for a moment before replying, "About two weeks? His Majesty Morgan visited once during that time."

Seemingly convinced that you were alright, Her Majesty left quickly.

"My mother..."

Tristan pinched his chin, lost in thought.

At this moment, Gawain and Lancelot got up and walked towards the door.

"You should rest well, Tristan. I'll go and inform His Majesty Morgan."

Tristan called out to the two who were about to leave.

She described the person she met in her dream—

"Shirou...do you know this name?"

"........."

Gawain and Lancelot exchanged suspicious glances.

After a moment's hesitation, Lancelot spoke.

“That was the name our king used when he was human.”

Volume 1, Chapter 115: Let's Get Married, Morgan!!!

This is a "record" of the past.

This is what happens after a boy from another world completes a pilgrimage as a knight and a witch, and then unifies Britain as a king.

Although the fairy clans, who had been fighting for ten thousand years, only outwardly accepted the king's decree to abandon hatred and embrace peace.

The Morse, which had been increasing and accumulating since the birth of civilization, was brought under some control thanks to the valiant efforts of the Fairy Round Table under the King's command.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

The Island of Twilight is reborn and is about to usher in a new era.

However, some people have already reached the end of their lives.

The dying king, old and awaiting death, opened his eyes from his peaceful slumber on this very day.

"Ah... Morgan...?"

Wang's mouth was half open in surprise.

"Are you awake, my king? You seem to be in good spirits today... Ah, no need to get up, just lie there."

Wang realized that he was currently resting his head on the lap of a fairy in the park.

Her face is still lovely, but the years have passed and her childishness has faded.

Her blonde hair shimmered in the sunlight, interspersed with a few strands of pale silver.

The future fairy queen looked gentle and reached out to stroke his hair.

"Morgan, where is this..."

Upon hearing the king's question, the witch covered her mouth and chuckled, "Is my king senile? This is Camelot, the capital of both of us."

It really is Camelot...

Wang gazed at the chalky white walls in the distance and began to understand the situation.

At this point, nothing would be surprising, but he was still greatly taken aback—

Is this a miracle caused by the Holy Grail?

Or perhaps the accelerated time within the body went too far, causing the travel back in time?

—My consciousness was somehow transported to the very last moments before I died.

Fairy Knight Arthur, no—

The person who is awake at this moment is actually Shirou Amamiya.

The battle with the King of Heroes.

The battle with the King of Knights.

The pain and exhaustion left from the final night of the Holy Grail War still seem to be branded on my soul.

But when Shirou opened his eyes, he saw the nostalgic twilight sky and the fairy of paradise.

Shirou once thought that he had missed his final farewell to Morgan while he was in the Fairy Kingdom, leaving him with a lot of regrets.

This is not the case.

"Now" is the moment of parting with her.

So what followed was a conversation between Morgan and me about things that actually happened in the "past," but which my "past self" was unaware of.

"what happened?"

As expected of Morgan, he immediately noticed Shirou's unusual behavior.

"No, it's nothing."

"It's not nothing at all."

Knowing he couldn't easily fool the witch, Shirou had no choice but to answer "honestly."

"I had a dream."

"Ah."

"In my dream, I returned to my original world and my original era."

Even in that world where Morgan is no longer here, I am still fighting.

Even though I've lost all my dreams, I've found something new... that's important...

Even now, I'm still fighting, not for our dreams.

Shirou lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "...I'm sorry."

Morgan reached out and stroked his cheek: "Why are you apologizing?"

"We made a promise to stay with you until the very end, but I abandoned you and took a different route along the way."

Shirou asked somewhat sheepishly, "Morgan... are you jealous?"

The fairy in the paradise raised an eyebrow: "Are you jealous that you have a new life?"

Or are you jealous that you left me to be all lovey-dovey with other girls?

“…………Hmm.”

Shirou looked embarrassed.

Seeing that he wore his heart on his sleeve, Morgan sighed helplessly.

"Jealousy...of course I'll be jealous."

Because she's a witch, isn't it only natural that she wants to monopolize her king?

Just thinking about how you might form a bond with a girl I don't even know, in a place I'm unaware of...

My heart is burning with jealousy, haha.

As she said this, she scratched the boy's neck hard with her fingernails, leaving red marks from internal bleeding.
