"So, the problem is solved." Not far away, Skaha smiled and whispered a few incantations with his palms down.

Suddenly, in the middle of the hall, a magic array glowing with a faint purple light appeared on the ground.

"This is the teleportation array, and it will send you where you want to go." Skaha explained, "Lily, you guys come first. Your teleportation is the clearest and clearest of all, and you're undoubtedly Camelot, so you'll be the fastest. ”

…………

"Okay." The girl nodded very dryly, and pulled me to stand on the teleportation array.

Buck followed suit and showed his attitude with his actions.

As Skaha's incantation was chanted, the light emanating from the teleportation array grew brighter and brighter. All we have time to do is say our final goodbyes.

Soon, the boundless purple completely invaded the field of vision.

…………

The solid stampede under his feet suddenly disappeared, and the whole person seemed to fall into an abyss.

Fortunately, the small but warm touch in the palm of my hand was still there, which greatly suppressed my uneasiness.

This is the only and most important comfort that can give me peace of mind whenever and wherever I am.

Countless setbacks, countless tribulations, we have walked hand in hand like this.

…………

In the future, we will continue to open up a common path for both of us.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hold that hand tighter.

…………

I don't know how long it has been-

It could be seconds, it could be minutes, it could be hours.

The soft touch of the earth is transmitted back to the feet, and the unique fragrance of plants and trees enters the nose.

Bright sunlight shines on every corner as far as the eye can see.

…………

"Shirou, we're here." The girl's soft, crisp voice rang in her ears.

"Well, I know. ...... here? "The light was too dazzling for me, and I had to squint my eyes slightly to get used to the environment.

"Outside of Camelot, probably miles of grasslands." The girl whispered, "It should be noon, so the sun will be so strong." ”

"I see." I nodded. In a few words, my eyes have basically adjusted to the light here.

Indeed, not far away, the snow-white and majestic city of Camelot is clearly visible.

…………

"Buck, you're alright." Turning my head, I saw the strong man squatting on the ground and asked hurriedly.

“…… Emiya-sama...... Please...... Rest assured, the subordinates only have a little ...... Not adapting. Buck gasped and paled, "Don't worry about your subordinates...... You and His Majesty the Knight King...... There are still important things to deal with......"

"I won't leave you behind. You close your eyes and take a few sets of deep breaths. I reassured.

Barker's current symptoms are somewhat similar to the "motion sickness" symptoms of going out for the first time, and they are thought to be the sequelae of the teleportation array. But to put it bluntly, it's just a psychological discomfort, and if there is a next time, it will never be so serious.

…………

Sure enough, a moment later, Buck was back to normal.

"I'm sorry for Lord Emiya......" stroked the back of his head embarrassedly, and Buck said, "It's all because my subordinates are useless......"

"Don't say that, anyone who passes through the teleportation array for the first time will be very unaccustomed to it. You've done a good job compared to when I was in a coma. I smiled.

I'm talking about the first thing that followed the maiden to Britain with the help of the Holy Grail's counter-summoning power. While it's a bit of a metaphor to compare this to this, I couldn't find a better way to comfort Buck.

…………

"Alright, if there are no objections, let's go back to Camelot now." Returning to the three-person squad format I was most accustomed to, I addressed the two in front of me with a relaxed mood.

Both nodded at the same time.

So, I turned around and was about to take the lead.

…………

“……！ Wait for Shirou! At this moment, the girl's voice suddenly came from behind.

"What's wrong, Artoria?" Almost subconsciously turned around.

"There is the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, it should be a cavalry unit." The girl's brows furrowed, "And the voice is from far and near, it should be aimed at us." ”

With the girl's reminder, I also poured magic into my ears, and sure enough, I heard the girl's voice. It's just that the sound is very small, and even with the help of magic, it can only barely hear one or two. If you don't pay special attention, you won't even notice it.

…………

Is it because of the battle-hardened situation, the girl's awareness of the sound of horses' hooves is so keen? This made me feel a little distressed in addition to admiration in my heart.

"Could it be Camelot's knight in charge of patrolling outside the city?" Putting it away for a moment, I asked.

"It's unlikely. Camelot's daily patrols consisted of two shifts, morning and evening, and there was no reason for a knight to appear outside the city at noon. The girl shook her head and said, "Besides, even if it is a patrol, there are only three or two people at a time so as not to disturb the people." The number of people is clearly wrong. ”

Listening to the girl's words, Buck subconsciously clenched the pitch-black iron rod in his hand. It was a brand new weapon that Buck had picked up from his arsenal during his time in the Shadow Country.

"Buck, don't be impulsive just yet. Let's see. I pressed Buck's arm.

…………

The three of us just stood still, ready to improvise.

After all, this is Camelot, a complete home base, and no matter what happens, there is nothing to fear.

The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, but a few minutes later, a cavalry force of more than twenty people appeared before us.

…………

The leader was an aristocratic young man who looked to be in his twenties and rode a white horse. He had beautiful black curls, was dressed in spotless new armor, and wore a sword at his waist that never seemed to be unsheathed.

The young man's appearance was quite handsome, but the thick pride on his face ruined this.

I can't help but think of Ios, who is still in the Shadow Nation at the moment.

Ios is also very arrogant, but he is innate, and he does not give people a sense of disobedience. Coupled with his profound knowledge, that kind of performance is actually convincing.

And this young man, no matter how you look at it, gives people the feeling that the villain is ambitious or pretentious......

…………

At the sight of the girl among us, the young man's eyes lit up.

"Haha, Halls, your falcon works. This rare beauty can be found! The young man looked up to the sky and laughed, with great triumph.

"It's good that the young master is satisfied." A middle-aged man is recalling a very small falcon behind the young man. Hearing the young man's praise, he hurriedly lowered his head and smiled.

The middle-aged man looked at the girl among us, marveled at her appearance and shook his head regretfully, as if he felt very unbearable for the girl's future fate.

…………

"Hee-hee, it's really worthy of the holy capital of Camelot, and the girls are also so beautiful." The young man stared at the girl in front of him with his eyes, and his eyes looked up and down her body, "I said beauty, what is your name, tell the young master quickly." ”

"I'll just ask you one thing." The girl stretched out her hand to stop me and coldly met the young man's gaze, "According to the law, only members of the royal family and the knights of the round table can ride white horses in Britain, who allowed you to do this?" ”

"Haha, you're right, beauty." Originally, I thought that the YMCA would be suffocated, but I didn't expect him to laugh even more arrogantly, "Young master, I am the new king of Camelot!" How about it, are you interested in being the queen of this king?! ”

…………

Hearing this, the three of us frowned at the same time.
