Chapter Ninety-Seven: Carlo's Abilities

"Yes, Your Majesty." Carlo, who had become a knight, raised his head and said firmly.

"You can follow me and Shirou first, and I'll take you to meet another person later." After the girl finished speaking, she took my arm and walked into the banquet hall.

Carlo, who had accepted the order, followed closely behind us, two paces away.

…………

The rest of the servants were completely stunned by what happened suddenly, especially the strong man who seemed to be accustomed to bullying people at this time, his eyes were round, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't know that he was drooling all over the place.

"Go back, we'll take care of the rest ourselves." I patted the strong man on the shoulder and said a word, and walked into the banquet hall with the girl.

…………

"These knights who are not competitive have to trouble Shirou." Looking at a knight of the round table lying on the ground with no image to speak of, the girl looked at me helplessly.

"Well, don't worry, leave it to me." I nodded, and for a moment I stepped forward and crouched down in front of a knight who was sleeping on his back.

Just getting closer, I could smell a strong smell of alcohol from him.

Looks like this guy really drank a lot of wine last night!

…………

Shaking my head slightly, I put my fingers on his wrist and slowly injected mana into it.

A faint magic power entered the blood of the knight in front of him, constantly driving away the alcohol in it.

Soon the knight was sweating profusely, and his clothes were almost soaking wet.

A pungent smell of wine leaked from his sweat.

…………

After about a few minutes like this, the knight in front of him opened his eyes blankly.

"Lady Emiya?" At the sight of my face, the knight was a little stunned.

"Well, it's me." I smiled and nodded at him, "Quite a few bars." ”

"Hmm...... I'm really sorry, my subordinates lost their temper. The knight rubbed his head embarrassedly, then looked around, "We'...... Still in the ballroom? ”

…………

"Yes...... However...... "I was about to explain the current situation to the knight, but I saw the knight looking behind me with a look of extreme horror in his eyes.

"How...... What's wrong? "Covered in hair by the knight's eyes, I quickly followed the knight's eyes and looked behind me.

…………

And then I saw—

A blonde girl standing there with a calm face.

…………

"Your Majesty! Please spare your subordinates! The knight, who could still remain indifferent in the last second, knelt directly at the girl's knees, his whole body almost fell to the ground, and there was an obvious cry in his voice, "Subordinate...... I really can't drink it! ”

“…… Artoria, what exactly did you do to them last night? I said to the girl with a wry smile.

"I didn't do anything, it's just that since they chose to drink with me, it's common sense to drink the same amount of wine with me every time." The girl spread her hands, "As a result, they refused, of course I had to force it." As a knight, justice is the most basic virtue. ”

…………

"Lord Emiya, please call the shots for your subordinates!" When the knight heard this, he hugged my thigh with no dignity and cried, "...... What normal person can drink a whole vat of wine in one sip at a time!? ”

"I understand you perfectly." I crouched down and patted the weeping knight's broad shoulders and reassured, "Blame you for having a stomach that can't be measured by common sense!" ”

"Hmm...... Is this the legendary royal stomach? Carlo in the back sighed, "It's really extraordinary!" ”

…………

As I concocted, I woke up more than a hundred Knights of the Round Table in turn.

Without exception, when they saw the presence of the girl, their eyes showed deep fear.

To be able to become a knight of the round table, their courage is naturally not comparable to ordinary people. But looking at their expressions, it is estimated that last night's experience will leave a heavy psychological shadow on them for a long time......

…………

Now that they had sobered up, the knights hurriedly said goodbye to the girl one by one and rushed to their posts.

This is the end of the banquet hall.

"Let's go, Carlo."

The girl gave her a command, and we went back to the council hall together.

…………

"Why are you so slow, little ghost, if you don't cook, I'm going to starve!" Skaha, who had been waiting for a long time in the council chamber, had an excited look in his eyes when he saw us return. However, on the surface, she still maintains the pride and coldness of the queen of the country of shadows.

"I'm sorry Skaha-senpai, but I kept you waiting for a long time because I gave the knights longer than expected......" I quickly apologized, crying and laughing in my heart.

Sure enough, it's very difficult to serve here......

…………

"Hey, why is there one more person?" Noticing Carlo behind us, Skaha's eyes flashed, "And such a cute little boy?" ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Looking at Skaha in front of him, especially the majestic red pupils, Carlo's body couldn't help but tremble.

After all, no matter how strong he is, he is just a teenager.

…………

"Don't be afraid, Carlo." The girl smiled and touched his head, "This is Sister Skaha, and she is also a very important companion of Sister and Shirou. I brought you here to get her to further confirm your talents. ”

With only a few of us in the house, the maiden took back the king's shelf and existed only as a gentle and lovely girl, Artoria.

"Yes, yes, rest assured, my sister is very understanding." Before Carlo could react, Skaha stepped forward and buried his head in his chest, "You're so beautiful, let my sister hug you!" ”

…………

"Uh......h It's stuffy, totally ...... Out of breath! The mouth and nose completely sank into Skaha's plump chest, and Carlo's hands struggled to wave at the sides, "Sister Skaha, let go!" ”

"Carlo!" The girl couldn't help but worry, "Sister Skaha, be careful, don't suffocate Carlo!" ”

"Artoria, you understand now, in many cases, big breasts are not always a good thing." I smiled and whispered in the girl's ear.

"Shirou, you're ......!" The girl's face suddenly turned red, and then she gritted her teeth, "Wait, give me some time." Sooner or later, I'm going to personally execute Shirou with my own chest! ”

…………

I don't know if the girl's words worked, and Skaha let go of Carlo, whose face was flushed.

"Whew...... Whew, I almost thought I was going to die! Gasping for air, Carlo looked visibly palpitating.

"Lily, you just said that you wanted me to help confirm the talents contained in this little guy named Carlo, right?" Skaha looked back at the girl and smiled, "I agree with you." This little guy's fingers are naturally half a knot longer than ordinary people, and in the future, with a little training, he can become a sharpshooter! ”
