“…… Shirou, Shirou! ”

In the dark, someone kept shouting my name.

Blankly opening my eyes, I saw the girl's anxious face.

…………

"Great, Shirou has finally woken up!"

Seeing that I seemed to have regained some consciousness, the girl pounced on me directly.

"Uh......"

Looking at my body, I realized that I was lying flat on the ground somewhere.

All around, there is a red light that fills the eye.

…………

"Artoria, ...... here?"

I think I just woke up, my mind is still a little drowsy, and my vision is blurry.

I can only tell by the sound that the person who is with me at this moment is the most important person in my life so far.

…………

"I don't know, but it's Sister Skaha's runic magic that teleported us to some unknown world." The girl got up from me and stretched out a slender arm to me, "Anyway, keep moving, can Shirou get up?" ”

"No problem, I'm not hurt."

His agility did not diminish in the slightest, and he stood up straight with his elbows on the ground.

…………

The sword in the stone was in hand, and the girl and I were back to back, each engrossed in guarding the surroundings.

We can't help it, it's covered in a thick fog, and visibility is so low that it's impossible to discern what kind of environment we're in.

Even the usual method of using magic to enhance eyesight is useless.

There was only a red glow in the sky, dyeing all the fog the color of a fiery cloud.

…………

"Artoria, I'm afraid this dense fog is not naturally formed, and it is imbued with extremely pure magical power, which I can't detect at all." I told the girl what I had discovered.

"That means we've stepped into a trap, and it looks like we're completely passive." The girl said in a deep voice, "But this also just proves that the other party's strength is not as good as ours." Otherwise, the other party can attack us directly, and there is no need to go to such great lengths to capture us. ”

…………

“…… In the face of such a desperate situation, I am still calm, and I am worthy of being my host with such courage. As the girl's words fell, a voice sounded in the depths of the mist as if in response to her.

There was an incomparable majesty and momentum in that voice, but it was as cold and melodious as a hollow valley orchid.

"Who is it?" The girl suddenly became vigilant and raised her sword in the direction from which the voice came, "Don't hide anymore, show up quickly!" ”

…………

"I warn you, King of Knights, that no living creature in this world can speak to me in such a commanding tone, except the King of Humble. Remember, only this once. His voice suddenly became cold, "But since you have asked so, this time I will allow you to spy on my existence." ”

The words fell, and the fog in front of us seemed to have been split by a sharp blade, and it was neatly separated from the middle to the sides.

…………

The sky was pure, as red as fuel, and the sun was not visible at all.

Huge, red-hot, rock walls surround it.

Directly in front of us, a tall figure of a woman was revealed.

…………

The woman has red hair, a red dress, and even a pair of pupils are red, as if she is the embodiment of red.

Words cannot describe her nobility and beauty, as if the pride of all the women in the world was occupied by her alone,

Standing barefoot on the top of the cliff, the woman calmly bowed her head and looked down at us.

…………

"This breath...... Are you the red dragon inside me?! The moment she saw the woman, her eyes were full of surprise.

"Hmph, tell me, what's the matter with waking me up?" The woman snorted coldly, acquiescing to the girl's statement.

"Your Excellency Red Dragon, I apologize for the conspiracy between my father and Merlin that caused your freedom to be deprived of your freedom." The girl groaned for a moment and spoke.

…………

"There is no need to apologize for this, it was also my own selfish interest to enter your body in the first place and let you be born in the world as my incarnation. If I had to say it, I would have apologized to you. Unexpectedly, the red dragon said so.

"But your Excellency ...... after all," the girl also looked surprised.

"Don't talk about the past, we both get benefits from it." The red dragon simply raised his hand to interrupt the girl's words, "I defeated the Humble King, and you became a legend, so it is better that the two of them owe each other in this matter." You didn't come to me to worry about decades ago. ”

…………

"Your Excellency Red Dragon, I can't hide it, I hope to truly get your power and let my human body accept your bloodline in its entirety." Seeing that the red dragon said this, the girl no longer hid it, and said bluntly.

"Hehe, another stupid man who craves my power?" A sneer rose at the corner of the red dragon's mouth, "What do you want to do?" Subjugate? Plunder? Or do whatever you want? ”

"I ...... I just want to ......" The girl's face flushed, and she was anxious to say something, but she tried several times but failed.

In fact, no matter how you think about it, that kind of thing is really ashamed to talk about it in front of the red dragon, who is also a woman.

"What's going on? Sure enough, it has an unsavory purpose. Seeing the girl's embarrassment, the red dragon seemed to be more sure of his guess, and his tone even took on a mocking look.

…………

"No, we just want a baby." I stepped forward and spoke.

“…… Shirou ......" the girl grumbled, tugging at the corner of my coat from behind.

"What...... What the? You repeat? The red dragon seemed to choke, and looked at me with a sudden loss of momentum.

"Skaha tells us that Artoria's human body cannot withstand the power of dragons, and that the power of your bloodline has not yet fused perfectly within her. As a direct consequence of this, Artoria was unable to conceive. Without flinching, I continued with the red dragon's gaze.

…………

"Ahem, I see, this is indeed an extremely serious problem. That's why you have come to seek my help. Clearing his throat and looking at the girl, the red dragon raised a bit of power again, "It's just the Knight King, I'm afraid things won't be so easy to solve." ”

"Why? Aren't you willing to help me? The girl asked in surprise.

"No, I deeply understand the importance of the young son to the mother, and if I can, I can lend you all my strength. It's just ......" the red dragon's eyes showed a hint of gloom, "I can't conceive myself." From the very beginning of my birth, I did not have the ability to reproduce. ”

…………

“……”

Looking at the sad appearance of the red dragon, the girl's blue eyes swelled with a little complicated color.
