"Okay, then I'll go first. If Artoria finds herself bored sitting for a while, she can join in. Touching the girl's head, I walked over to the knights.

"Hmm...... I don't feel lonely......" The girl behind her still tilted her head, pouting and posing as if she would not admit defeat.

I didn't rush to know the latter's personality well, and sat down next to the knights.

…………

As soon as I passed, there were a lot more knights around. Obviously, everyone is interested in the situation in the Shadow Country.

While drinking with the knights, I told everyone what I had seen and heard along the way.

However, I deleted the encounter with Sir Eckert, Ios, Kay, Lancelot, and others. After all, the identities of several of them are special, and now they are exposed at the round table, which will eventually cause misunderstanding and suspicion.

But just the rest of the scenes, such as the dangers that lurk outside the shadows, and the lavish scenes in the Skaha Palace, are enough to amaze these simple knights.

…………

"Lord Emiya, is Skaha, the queen of the Shadow Country, really a peerless beauty as the legend suggests?" Speaking of meeting Skaha, a young knight suddenly asked with a red face.

"What, you're interested in the Queen?! It's really idealistic. His question drew a unanimous laugh from his nearby companions.

"Where...... I'm just curious. The young knight's face turned even redder, "How could Queen Skaha be a little person like me who has the opportunity to come into contact with her?" That is, the master of the palace may be ......"

"Ahem, stop, stop." I coughed twice and glanced twice in the direction of the girl behind me, "Artoria is still there." ”

…………

"Poofhaha, Lord Weigong turned out to be a strict wife." The knights burst into laughter, their words full of teasing.

"No way, I also want to establish some authority, but I can't beat it." I shrugged helplessly.

"Be content, Lord Weigong, if we can be accompanied by a beautiful woman like the king, even if we can't get out of the house, we are willing to do it." The knights, however, were not going to let me go, and continued to joke with a hippie smile.

"Then I wish you all never got out again!" I smiled and raised my glass, "Come on, let's have another round of drinks!" ”

…………

In this way, I was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the knights.

Maybe it's true, as Skaha said, that I have an affinity in me that I didn't even realize I had, and it's very effective in this day and age.

"Speaking of which, Lord Eimiya, in your opinion, Queen Skaha or the King, who is more beautiful?" As they got acquainted, the knights reverted to their previous hippie smiles, and the topic became gossipy.

"This ...... Even if you ask...... I can't laugh or cry."

…………

"In the eyes of Lord Emiya, it must be the king! No matter how good the queen of the Shadow Nation is, can she compare to the king who sleeps with her every night? ”

"No, no, the king's beauty is a fact, but Lord Emiya should have been used to it for so long. In my opinion, the queen of the Shadow Nation is very attractive because she can't get it. ”

"Hey, let's talk about it here and there's no result, right? Let's listen to what Emiya-sama has to say. ”

"Yes, yes! Lady Emiya, hurry up and answer! ”

As if unanimous in their opinion, the knights all focused their gaze on me.

…………

"......" I suddenly had a headache.

It's easy to say anything else, but I really don't have immunity to this kind of problem.

I always felt that no matter how I answered, I would offend either Artoria or Skaha.

If I could, I would have liked to fool the past, but seeing the knights' eyes as big as brass bells, it was clear that they would not rest on their laurels.

…………

At this critical moment-

Without warning, my head dizzy, and the world in front of me tilted.

This...... Isn't it the consequence of excessive drinking......

"Lady Emiya!" "Be careful, adults! "Quick...... Hold on to Lady Emiya! ”

The knights gathered around in panic.

…………

"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout not far away, and a small blue figure suddenly swept away the surrounding crowd and rushed in.

The next moment, I felt myself lying on my back in some warm, soft embrace.

It turns out that my body has fallen?

…………

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing the figure enter, the knights hurriedly took a few steps back at the same time, leaving the table for us in the middle.

"Shirou, how are you?" An anxious shout came from overhead, "I said that you are not allowed to drink so much wine, but you just don't listen!" ”

"Ah...... Sorry Artoria, I'm fine. The owner, who could barely make out the voice, shook his head, "Don't blame the knights, I took the initiative to ask them to participate." ”

"You, you always like to be strong, and you're just a good person!" The girl reached out and gently tapped my forehead with her knuckles, and said distressedly, "Rest in peace, Shirou's task has been completed, so leave it to me next." ”

"Well, I believe Artoria." With the last of my senses, I smiled at the beautiful face that was fading in my eyes, and I reassured myself to surrender my consciousness to the boundless darkness......

…………

Maybe it was the first time I was drunk, and this sleep was extraordinarily deep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.

"Uh-huh......" shook my somewhat drowsy mind, and I felt a little more conscious.

Sitting up, I found myself lying on the bed in Artoria's room.

…………

The last memory of last night was that I fell asleep in the banquet hall in Artoria's arms.

In that case, I should have been taken back to my room by her.

No, there's a more important question!

After I fell asleep, how did Artoria clean up the mess I left behind?

Facing a drunken knight alone, I'm afraid it's tricky, right?

…………

Thinking of this, I couldn't care about anything, so I hurriedly got dressed and rushed to the council hall.

Since the girl is not with me, she must have gone to deal with Skaha's political affairs.

…………

Sure enough, in the council hall, I saw two girls, one older and one young.

"This position can be further subdivided into two people, inside and out, and echoing the decree issued by Camelot......" Skaha was carefully analyzing a paper in front of her as she carefully analyzed the blonde girl sitting at the table.

"And the little ghost, you're finally up. It's almost noon. As he spoke, Skaha's eyes didn't lift.

…………

“…… I'm sorry, Skaha-senpai, but I was too sloppy. In the morning's training to control the power of the leylines, I will definitely find a chance to make up for it! I quickly bowed my head and apologized.

"It's okay Shirou, you can just rest. After all, there is nothing in Camellot that you are directly responsible for right now. The girl looked up at me and smiled softly, then sighed lightly, "It's just that the knights of the round table in the banquet hall haven't returned to their duties yet, which is really troublesome. ”

"Huh, what's going on?" I couldn't help but be surprised, "Those knights don't seem to be very reliable when they relax, and they shouldn't be derelict in their duties." ”

…………

"What else?" Skaha crossed his arms and smiled, "Last night, I didn't know how thick the sky was, so I had to fight with Lily. Now they're all put down. ”
