"Get out of the way! Skaha Senpai! In desperation, I rushed forward and pushed Skaha away.

"Damn, it looks like there's no other way." Looking at the brighter and brighter light of the Holy Sword on the other side, I knew I had no choice.

…………

Looking straight at the golden sword in my right hand, I closed my eyes and began to project.

Fortunately, after a period of time, the magic power in the body has recovered seventy or eighty percent, and it should be able to use a projection magic completely.

When he opened his eyes again, a sword in the stone that was exactly the same as the real thing in his hand was suspended in the air.

…………

Taking the real thing back, I grabbed the fake stone sword in front of me with both hands, and frantically injected all the magic in my body into it.

The surface of the fake stone sword in his hand soon lit up with bursts of golden light that were no less than the holy sword on the opposite side.

It's just that I can clearly perceive that with the surge of magic power, the material of the sword itself in the stone gradually cannot support it, and it has a tendency to collapse.

…………

Sure enough, as Artoria had said before, the strength of the golden sword of victory was not as strong as the sword of the oath of victory.

Injecting mana into the Sword of Stone can unleash a light cannon of the same power, but at the cost of its own collapse.

But fortunately, the sword in my hand is a projected fake, so I can squander it.

…………

While thinking about it, the accumulated strength of both sides reached its peak.

The girl raised the sword high above her shoulder.

“……！” My heart sank. In this state, Artoria was completely swayed by competitiveness, and even I couldn't recognize it.

I had no choice but to use the last resort!

…………

"The Oath - the Sword of Victory!" With a loud shout, the girl swung her holy sword, and the incomparably bright golden light slashed straight at me.

"Goo!" I swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The sword in the fake stone in his hand stabbed forward, and the power contained in it was completely triggered!

…………

Rumble!

With my movements, the same golden light was triggered, and it suddenly collided with the golden light emitted by the girl.

The two golden rays of light poured into each other, and the power continued to cancel out.

The middle contact area made a constant "sizzling" sound, and all the air in the vicinity was burned clean.

…………

In the space that Skaha and I worked together, cracks began to emerge and begin to expand.

Soon, tiny spatial debris began to fall, revealing the lush garden outside.

Even the space itself can't withstand the power of the two holy swords resisting each other?!

…………

It took a few minutes for the two rays of light to consume all of each other's strength, and they both dissipated into nothingness.

The virtual space has been completely destroyed, scattered into countless fragments.

I, the maiden, and Skaha, stood again in the garden.

…………

The space disintegrated, and the holy sword, which was originally a replica, naturally dissipated and became invisible.

And the fake stone sword that I used to fight against the sword of victory of the girl's oath was completely destroyed the moment it triggered the holy light.

Therefore, both of them are in a state of bare hands.

…………

It should be because she consumed a lot of magic power in her body, and the girl was half-kneeling on the ground and gasping violently.

"Artoria ......!" Regardless of the fatigue of my body, I wanted to rush over.

"Don't ...... Stay back! The girl gritted her teeth and raised her head, "I...... Haven't lost yet! ”

"......" I'm completely helpless.

…………

"Well, neither Lily, nor me, nor the little ghost have lost their ability to fight in this battle. So even if it's a tie. Then Skaha stepped forward and grinned in the middle of the two of us.

“…… Ah, that's right. I also nodded, "I didn't expect that after such a fierce battle, I still couldn't tell the winner, so I had to wait for the next battle." ”

"Hmph...... That's right. The girl snorted and stood up, "Shirou don't be complacent, next time I will definitely let you taste defeat." ”

"Yes...... Yes, I'm waiting for the Knight King to show off his skills. I said with a wry smile.

…………

Standing up, the girl slowly walked up to me.

"Shirou, are you alright?" Stroking my face, the girl's face was full of care.

"Something. I struck you with a sword of victory, and I'm still scared. Seeing that the girl had come to her senses, I was relieved and complained deliberately.

"Right...... I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too obsessed with victory......" The girl suddenly lowered her head with a flushed face.

…………

"Okay, Lily, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Skaha turned around and gently hugged the girl's slender body, "With the body that the imp has strengthened so far, even if he is attacked by the Sword of Oath Victory without any defense, he will at most be seriously injured and lose his arms and legs, and he will definitely not die." ”

"Whoa, whoa! No! I don't want it! The girl hugged her head in horror.

"Skaha-senpai, are you a demon?" I stood there with a wry smile......

…………

"Sister Aahkaha, could you please give me some advice, what can I do at night?"

After dinner, the girl cast an inquiring glance at Skaha.

Artoria had always been diligent in government affairs, and her life had been filled with almost all of her life. Now with Skaha's help, all the work had been arranged in the morning hour, and now he was a little confused.

"My suggestion is that you should have more contact with your knights." Half-lying in his chair leisurely, Skaha said lazily, "As a king, it would be too outrageous to not even know what his subordinates were thinking. ”

"You're talking about...... In the past, I only saw the governance of the country in my eyes, and I didn't care about the troubles of the round table at all. The girl nodded embarrassedly, "But what should I do?" After all, I've never taken the initiative to talk to the knights, even if I ...... Also ......"

…………

"This is easy to do, why don't you just bring the little ghost with you?" Skaha laughed, "Your relationship is already open throughout Camelot anyway, so it's better if you don't have any imps with you." ”

"Shirou? It's a great idea. The girl's eyes lit up as she looked at me, "Shirou is indeed much better than me in communicating with people. ”

"That...... Don't rely on me. I waved my hand a little speechlessly, "I'm just an ordinary person, it's okay to say hello to people on the surface, but when it comes to friendship, it's better to find another high......"

"Oh, little ghost, you're a boy no matter how bad you are." Skaha crossed his arms and looked at me, "If you can't, do you expect the knights, who are almost male, to have a heart for Lily as a girl?" Would you be happy to see that even if the knights were willing? ”

"Okay, okay, I see." Facing the attack of the two at the same time, I couldn't resist it, so I had to compromise, "I'll just be Artoria's shield." ”
