When everyone in the caravan returned to the caravan station after a day's business, they were all startled by the daughter of the cook's sudden appearance.

After Artoria's explanation, everyone accepted the fact that the little girl named Mordred was her adopted daughter.

Of course, when Artoria explained, the sword in the stone in her hand undoubtedly added a lot of convincing.

Don't believe it? Hehe, you've seen that Rexlidontosaurus that was just removed today.

At this time, Charles realized that the aunt, who looked about two years younger than him, was actually a year older than him, but her figure was too thin due to long-term malnutrition.

Halcara, who learned about this after dinner, examined Mordred carefully, and then spent half an hour researching and formulating a set of treatment plans, claiming that if she continued to take it, Mordred would grow as healthy as herself in the future.

Charles looked at Halcara's fat, then at Artoria's almost streamlined figure, and just as he was about to say something, Artoria dragged him into the woods in the name of sword training.

After receiving the notice, Nicholas II, who ran over to see the excitement, saw Artoria holding a sword in one hand and dragging Charles in the direction where he was hiding, and immediately ran back to Abyss City with a teleportation magic with a "biu".

In the days that followed, perhaps because the imprint of her previous days as slaves was too deep, Mordred rushed to work all the time, from Charles's cooking to feeding the horses during the lunch break, for fear that the little girl who would be abandoned because she was useless showed her usefulness.

Artoria had never had children, so she didn't know what children thought, and she thought Mordred was just a good and hardworking child.

It wasn't until Donio, who saw that something was wrong, found an opportunity to tactfully mention the incident to her, that she reflected it.

Artoria asked Donio what to do, and when Donio spread his hands, he didn't know that his daughters were all raised by the king.

Then Artoria plans to find Elizabeth, but it is not reliable to think about it.

In the end, she still found George, who has 90 years of experience raising daughters.

George replied that Mordred's current situation was that she had just changed her environment, and she was usually too idle, so she thought too much. In the elves, when a situation like this happens, Mordred is kept busy, leaving her with no time to think too much.

So there was one more good student in the caravan. During the day, Artoria taught Mordred the writing of the lingua franca and mathematics. In the evening, while Artoria was practicing her sword with Charles, Mordred was practicing her basic skills with the sword Charles had given her.

It's just that the existence of Artoria, the first echelon of combat power, and Charles, the guy who has opened the plug-in, give Mordred, who is practicing basic skills on the side, an illusion, that is, she thinks that the level of Charles and the two of them is the normal level of this world.

This stimulated Mordred to play as if she were trying to match the two of them.

The emaciated body does not become strong after a few days of eating, and that night, Mordred, who was already sweating profusely from practicing sword swinging, suddenly let go of her hand, and the sword in her hand flew deep into the woods, and then made the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.

Charles and Artoria, who had found out about the situation, stopped, and Artoria reassured Mordred not to be discouraged by the mistake, and then asked her to follow Charles to retrieve the sword.

The woods at night are still very dangerous, and a little budding like Mordred can overturn if he is not careful.

Charles then led the way with lighting magic, and Mordred followed him with both hands tightly grasping the corners of Charles's clothes.

In the caravan, Mordred was naturally closest to Artoria, and her second closest was Charles, who often shared snacks with her.

While shopping on the street the other day, Charles found a shop that sold dried fruit preserves, so he bought quite a few snacks.

Mordred, who used to often have enough to eat, learned for the first time what a "snack" was, and every time Charles shared a snack with her, her favorability towards Charles rose vigorously.

Mordred's dagger flew not very far, and after passing through a bush with all its leaves gone, the two of them came to the edge of a large pond.

Charles grabbed Mordred, who was about to enter the water, "You don't even know how deep the water is, you don't know what's in it, it's dangerous to go on like this." ”

"The sword you gave me is inside. Mordred said, pointing to the pond.

"Don't worry. Charles said, "I'll take a look at ...... first."

Before Charles could finish speaking, a little green light appeared in the pond, and then the light grew brighter and brighter, until the water of the entire pond glowed.

Charles jerked Modre behind him, raising his sword in the direction of the pond.

A figure slowly rose from the water, it was a little girl about the same size as Charles. She wore a blue dress with white patterns on the lower edge. She has green eyes and hair, and a ponytail tied around her head with a yellow ribbon. What caught Charles and Mordred's attention the most was the pair of pink translucent wings behind her, with a golden pattern on the upper edge of the wings.

"A goblin?" said Mordred, who was behind Charles, in surprise.

But the elf, with a golden sword and a silver sword in his hands, was walking towards the two of them on the water.

The long sword in Charles's hand had been replaced with an EX curry stick, and he didn't dare to guarantee whether the big goblin was here to follow the routine or to cut people.

I saw the big goblin walk to the edge of the pond, stand in front of Charles and the two of them, and then raised the two long swords in his hands and asked, "Did you fall into the water, is it this golden long sword or this silver long sword?"

Mordred shook her head and said, "No, what I got rid of was an ordinary steel sword." ”

"Really?" said the goblin, looking at Mordred as his head emerged from behind Charles, "what an honest child. ”

The big goblin took two more steps forward and said, "Honest children should be rewarded." ”

I saw that the big goblin walked to the third step, and when he was about to take the fourth step, he fell forward and fell to the ground with a "bang".

It was then that Charles and Mordred saw that the sword that flew out of Mordred's hand was right in the back of the big goblin.
