"Ahem...... Artoria, can you let me go first? This posture is really a little unbearable......"

My face was completely buried in the girl's chest, and my voice sounded dull.

"Oops...... I'm sorry Shirou, but I'm too addicted to coquettishness. The girl also reacted, and while saying apologetic, she put her hands on my shoulders and pulled her breasts slightly away from my face.

"Whew...... It's much better that way. ”

Feeling a lot more relaxed, I also put my arms slightly on the ground and gently placed the girl on horseback on the ground.

Probably because of the guilt for what she had just done, the girl seemed very well-behaved, holding my arm with both hands at the same time, and did not make any more radical moves.

So what's next-

Syllable!

The free hand snapped its fingers, and my girl's body was instantly teleported to the city wall.

"What's the situation!"

"Magic! Is this magic? ”

"Mom, it's too weird, shouldn't it be a ghost......"

The sudden appearance of me and the maiden immediately caused a panic among the loyal and dumbfounded guards, some of whom were even about to grab their spears and resist.

"I mean, don't you really recognize us?"

Somewhat helpless and funny, I moved two steps to the side slightly, and pulled out the blonde girl who had been sticking behind me.

Whoa—

In an instant, all the guards fell to their knees in panic, and the sound of their armor hitting the ground was particularly sonorous.

"Greetings to the King, Lord Guard!"

"Okay, get up, it's not your fault." I smiled and waved my hand, "Camelot's rule that you can't open the gates at night must not be broken, even me and Artoria, so we used magic to come up." You are responsible, and you are all the pride of Camelot. ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity." The guards stood up tremblingly.

"That'...... Einomiya-sama, what should Lancelot-sama do? ”

The captain of the guard cautiously took two steps forward and said to me.

Looking down over the walls, I saw Lancelot standing beneath the walls with a dull expression, and next to him was the horse we had ridden......

He seemed to have just reacted from the shock that the girl and I had reached the city wall, and was waving his arms upwards and shouting something with all his might.

It's just that because the walls are so high, Lancelot's voice can't be heard at all, and only vague syllables remain.

"Leave him alone, Lancelot is saying that he intends to spend the night under the city to protect the civilians who have also been stopped outside because they have not timed properly. Tomorrow morning, of course, he will return to the city on horseback. ”

I tried to hold back a smile, and then said with a very serious expression.

"Oh, I see, worthy of Eimiya-sama, your hearing is really amazing. The subordinates didn't hear it clearly at all. The captain of the guard looked at me with admiration.

"Huh? Shirou is not right, I obviously heard Lancelot say to hurry up and ...... the city gate Hmm-"

The blonde girl on the side was about to say something, but I pulled her into my arms and covered her mouth.

"Uh-woo-woo-" The girl's green eyes widened, and she tried to shake her head to say something, but she couldn't get out of my control.

"Anyway, everyone, it's been a hard time tonight. Whatever Lancelot says, look at him with reverence tonight. This is a noble knight who will not hesitate to protect the people. As I spoke, I dragged the struggling girl out quickly.

"Please rest assured, Lord Emiya, since Lord Lancelot has such a holy idea, we will naturally not spoil his good intentions. We won't open the gates until dawn! ”

The captain of the guard straightened up and saluted me.

Call...... Looks like Lancelot doesn't want to come in tonight.

A few dozen meters after walking down the city wall, I let go of the girl in my arms and put my hand off her mouth.

"Whew...... Call...... What are you doing just now? All of a sudden, I didn't react at all. ”

It seemed that she had been holding her breath for a long time, and the girl's face turned a little red, and she bent down and gasped for a few breaths before looking back at me in confusion.

"If you're done just now, Lancelot won't be able to walk outside the city at night, can he?" I said with a smile.

"Poof...... Shirou, you're really bad right now. The girl couldn't help but laugh a little, "But such a small punishment is also suitable for Lancelot, after all, I can't use systems or rules to restrain him from the surface." Letting him hit the wall like this a few more times might correct his personality a lot. ”

"Well, that's right." I nodded, but for another reason.

For such a guy, who inexplicably stuffed medicine into my hand and could say a lot of shameful remarks without any scruples, I always felt that it would be a big problem to let him in.

Artoria and I held hands and walked slowly.

The Camelot at night is almost another world compared to the day.

During the day, Camelot is a city of knights in its own right, with citizens doing their job in a proper manner and following their watchful eye.

And once the night comes, many rules are relaxed, and people who have finished a hard day of work are able to sing and dance, set up stalls and shop, and even many knights take off their heavy armor and join the ranks.

At this moment, we are surrounded by bright torches and a sea of laughter.

"Everyone, you look really happy." Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, every time I see people's smiles, I deeply feel that my efforts are meaningful and can make everyone happy." The girl smiled contentedly, "So, I think my royal path must be right. ”

"Artoria ......"

"Shirou, I know what you want to say." The girl looked back at me with tenderness in her eyes.

"Although in the past, I was so focused on how to make everyone happy that I completely forgot about myself. But now it seems that the gods are fair to everyone. Those lost times have been exchanged for an irreplaceable life partner in my life. ”

Through the girl's pupils, I could see the reflection of my own face.

"Ah...... That's right. I also feel that meeting Artoria has used up all my luck for the rest of my life. I scratched my head and said, "So, you don't think I have a choice." ”

There was almost no need to hesitate in this situation, and our faces leaned together and kissed gently.
