Chapter Seventy-One: Skaha's Return

After taking the dragon scale grass, the complexion of the dragon slayer's family was significantly better.

After confirming that there were no other abnormalities, our group returned to the royal palace in the center of Camelot thanks to each other.

…………

"Bedwell, come with me to the council chamber, and I will immediately deal with the affairs that have accumulated in the past few days." With such a sentence, the girl hurried to the council hall in the depths of the palace.

"Shall I help? It's too hard for you alone. I shouted at the girl's back as I hurried after her.

"No, what Shirou has to do now is to summon her out of Camelot according to the method Sister Skaha said." Without looking back, the girl quickly replied, "Since the summoning process can only be completed by a magician, please Shirou." ”

“…… I understand. I will assist you as soon as the summoning is complete. After a slight hesitation, I stopped and ran in the other direction.

Although Senior Skaha didn't explicitly ask us when we would summon her, given that I needed to be taught on a daily basis, it was undoubtedly better to do it as early as possible.

So let's finish this matter as soon as possible, and then go and help Artoria and them deal with government affairs, so you can only let the two of them work hard for a while.

…………

The Camelot Palace has three basement floors.

This is the closest place to the entire palace to the deep leylines of Britain, and as a result, it can receive the most magic.

Skaha's summoning requirements are very simple, just find a piece of land as close to the leylines as possible, carve a simple summoning magic circle on the ground, stand her usual "Death Rush Rush" in the center of the circle, and finally inject magic power into the circle.

After making sure I was in good shape, I did what I said.

Speaking of which, the leylines of Britain were cut off once by the girl with a weakened version during the last battle against Morgan. However, after this period of time, it should have been restored to normal.

…………

After completing the last step of entering the mana, the surface of the circle also lit up with a purple glow.

I stopped inputting mana because I could feel the magic circle absorbing the mana in the leylines on its own. At the end of the day, the little bit of magic I put in was just a flip switch.

The light on the surface of the magic circle became more and more intense, but it had reached a dazzling level for a few seconds.

Everything in front of me seemed to be wrapped in a patch of purple, making it impossible to see it really.

…………

Soon, the magic power absorbed by the magic array reached its peak, and the purple mangs all surged towards the red spear inserted in the center of the magic circle in an instant.

"Boom!" There was a soft thud. The spear bounced straight above the magic circle, and it was about to pierce into the ceiling.

"Not good!" In a hurry, I was ready to pounce and grab the barrel of the gun.

Skaha's most commonly used favorite gun is very clear to me about its sharpness. If left unchecked, it will run through the entire palace!

…………

However, at this moment, a sturdy figure suddenly jumped out of the magic array, and grasped the bouncing spear one step ahead of me.

After that, the figure landed lightly, and both feet stepped on the magic array that had completely dimmed at the same time.

Standing on the spot, he danced a few beautiful spear flowers, and his figure seemed to smile with satisfaction, and then turned his head to look at me.

…………

"Well done, little ghost, the summoning was a success." With a seductive mature female voice, she winked at me with her trademark red eyes.

"Great, Skaha-senpai, welcome to Camelot." Seeing the faces and expressions that were indistinguishable from those of the Shadow Country, I was also greatly relieved and couldn't help but smile.

“…… Thank you very much and welcome, it seems that the experience of Shadow Nation has made you a lot more reliable. Skaha smiled and looked around me, "But how about you, Lily?" ”

"As soon as Artoria returns, she will immediately go to deal with the affairs of the government, after all, Camelot has a large backlog of matters that need her to decide in the past two days." I'll be honest.

In fact, in front of Skaha's majestic eyes, even if you wanted to lie, you couldn't do it.

…………

“…… In such a hurry? Listening to my words for some reason, Skaha frowned slightly, "Isn't it possible that during Lily's absence, Camelot doesn't have any alternative plans to deal with government affairs?" ”

"This ...... It can only be said that Artoria's own ability is too strong, and no one except her can handle Camelot's group affairs, whether it is a single person or multiple people. After thinking about it, I replied, still with a little pride in my heart.

Indeed, the efficiency of the girl's handling of government affairs is amazing. Usually before I could finish reading a document, she had already reviewed more than a dozen of the same dossier.

On the premise that we have the same heart and mind, I am afraid that other people will not be able to keep up with the speed of the girl, even if it is just to sort out the files to be processed.

…………

However, instead of stretching his brow, Skaha's brow furrowed even tighter.

“…… Take me to Lily. The next moment, Skaha said to me directly and decisively, "Anyway, you plan to go to Lily's side next and help her with trivial matters." ”

“…… Good. "Despite the doubts in my heart, I respected Skaha's request.

…………

Camelot Council Chamber.

"Artoria, the summoning has been successful. Also, at the request of Skaha's seniors, I brought her here. Standing in front of the girl who was in a bitter battle with the mountain of dossiers, I reminded her softly.

"Well, Shirou has worked hard. On behalf of all the people of Britain, I welcome you, Queen of the Shadow Nation. The girl was so busy that she didn't even bother to look up, and the quill pen quickly gave instructions on the thick dossier, and replied with the same speed, "Shirou, you should take Sister Skaha around the palace first, and you should be familiar with this place." ”

"No, I'll just stay here." Skaha only smiled slightly, leaning against the table charmingly, "Lily, don't mind if I look through the documents you've already approved, right?" ”

"Please." The girl didn't look up and said, "It's not a confidential matter. ”

…………

So, Skaha pulled a few random copies from the stack of files in the corner of the table, which had obviously been reviewed, and opened them to look at them carefully.

Bedwell, who had temporarily taken on the task of sorting out the files, hurriedly stepped out of the way.

"Einomiya-sama...... Why did Her Majesty the Queen of the Shadow Nation come to Camelot? And also...... How did she get here? Careful to avoid Skaha's gaze, the knightess whispered to me with a look of horror on her face.

"This ...... One or two sentences are not clear. All you need to know is that Senior Skaha is currently our companion. Smiling at Bedwell, I sat down gently beside the girl and helped her with her business.

"......" Bedwell's mouth opened wider.

…………

"Well, sure enough." After a moment, closing the file in his hand, Skaha shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Skaha-senpai, have you found anything?" Seeing Skaha like this, I quickly raised my head and asked.

"I can't talk about it, but it's a big problem." Skahar said frankly to me, "I'll be blunt, if you continue to handle government affairs in the current way, it will be a matter of time before Camelot collapses." ”
