“…… There is no such memory. I shook my head repeatedly, "I've met the Heroes of Greece before, but none of them could have anything to do with the Trojan War, and their friendship with me wasn't that good. ”

"That's right...... So maybe some heroic spirit happened to pass by and helped us on a whim. ”

Ios shrugged.

"Whew...... Sometimes I envy you, Ios......"

I couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Well...... It's all about fate, and it doesn't hurt us right now. Ios heaved.

——

Night falls.

The atmosphere at the small round table was much lower than yesterday.

Although everyone was intent on not being affected by the daytime battles, there was no doubt that Lancelot's defeat had a visible effect on morale.

"Nearly twenty percent of the soldiers are beginning to doubt the correctness of our troops...... "Bedwell looked solemn, "and there are even a small number of radicals...... uttered such an irresponsible statement that this battle is very likely to be lost. ”

"They can't be blamed for that...... Kai shook his head, "after all, the battle we're facing now is far from what it used to be. With real heroic spirits in the way, famous legends come to life, and even the most ordinary soldiers will be meaningless. ”

"Fortunately at this stage, the mystery of Britain has never completely faded. Even ordinary civilians can calmly accept the existence of dragons, goblins, and magic, so the fluctuation of the military spirit is only a temporary turmoil. The blonde girl shook her head slowly, "As long as we can defeat Ku Chulin as soon as possible, that will stop the decline." ”

"Hmm...... If Yu's full strength remained, there would be nothing to fear from a mere Ku Chulin. Iskandar kept drinking, his face flushed and he let out a cloudy breath.

"Hmph, do you think that if this king were in full form, he would still allow a guy like you to sit at the same table with this king?" Gilgamesh glared at him unhappily.

"Alas...... So you two don't quarrel yet, there must be a way......" I sighed helplessly.

The King of Conquest and the King of Heroes, these two famous kings must be not inferior to Ku Chulin in terms of Lingge, but unfortunately they are not famous now.

In terms of individual force alone, they should be inferior to Lancelot.

After all, one is the king of the army, and the other is the king of the collection......

Forcibly sending them out now, you may lose even worse.

"If not...... How about I do it tomorrow? ”

Ios, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly raised his hand and said.

“——！”

For a moment, the eyes of the audience were focused on him.

"I came up with the idea of attacking the Saxons, so the responsibility should also be borne by me." "If I lose," said Iostein, "Britain will be able to withdraw its troops without me as a client, right?" ”

"Wait Ios, no one said it was your responsibility!" I stood up almost instantly, "Aren't we trying to figure out how to get together?" You are not allowed to say such things without going through your brain! ”

"No, Shirou, I have already felt the kindness of you, the Knight King, and everyone without reservation." Ios raised his hand to signal me to remain calm, smiling calmly, "As a friend, you have helped me far more than I expected. After all, you still have lovers, brothers, and other friends. ”

"What's more, you have a country on your shoulders, and millions of people trust you and entrust their hopes to you. You have to be accountable to them! ”

Ios's tone became serious in vain, as if to warn me.

“…… However, it is too ...... for you" I can't bear to look at his face.

This teenager has inherited too many things that have nothing to do with his age.

"It's okay, I've been prepared for all this." Ios shook his head, "We...... We can't continue to be children anymore, and our mission forces us to make a choice. ”

"Yes, like a child, I will go to the battlefield when I go to war, and I really can't even listen to this kind of talk."

Without warning, a playful sound came from the air.

Before everyone could react, a delicate chair had been inserted into the gap at the edge of the round table.

The finest precious woods, the sleek design, and the fact that there is no place to be decorated with flowers.........

The chair was so ornate that no one with a brain would believe it had been moved from such a place.

And all of this is not as striking as the guy reclining in his chair.

Elegant and flowing long silver hair, beautiful deep purple eyes, and slender elf ears......

And the gesture, as if strolling in the garden in full bloom in spring-

“……”

Lancelot, Bedwell, and Kay are all dumbfounded.

“……”

The girl and I looked at each other, both helpless.

“……”

Gilgamesh smiled and didn't speak.

“……”

Ios's face was full of admiration, and he was also so excited that he lost his speech.

"Wow, Zeus, where did this's neurosis come from? Shocked Yu Yida! ”

- Only a certain red-haired man shuddered and said his feelings very honestly......

“…… So it's been so long, little ghost and Artoria, that's how you welcomed me? ”

The strange man who suddenly appeared put his hand on his forehead and put on a very unacceptable look.

"Mei ...... Lord Merlin! Are you still in this world? ”

Only now, Bedwell has barely regained her ability to speak. It doesn't look like he's obviously scared.

"Go, go, you're talking like I'm dead." Merlin glared at Bedwell angrily, and directly slammed back, "Look at you Knights of the Round Table one by one, you haven't grown at all over the years. That is, Artoria is so stupid that she can't see anything, otherwise I would have swept you out of the house! ”

"Mr. Merlin...... If you say that again, I want to sweep you away......"

The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Huh? Is that Merlin? Ios looked at him in disbelief and then turned to me with a stiff expression, "That guy is ...... The god in the hearts of all magicians, the greatest magician in British legend and the nurturer of kings? ”

“…… Although the reality is harsh, I hope you can cheer up a little. ”

I sympathetically raised my hand and patted Ios on both shoulders. For a moment, though, I had heard a petrified sound.

"I mean, everybody relax." Merlin didn't seem to notice anything wrong with the atmosphere, and still said with a hearty smile, "Because next, I have good news to announce!" ”
