"Bedwell, I don't know him, get him out of Camelot!"

I deliberately waved at Bedwell.

"Yes, Eimiya-sama."

Bedwell replied solemnly, the tip of his sword pointed straight at Ios' throat.

"Hey, hey, Shirou, are you crazy?" Seeing this, Ios immediately shouted, "We are obviously close friends, best friends!" ”

"Hugh is quibbling, stranger." Bedwell gritted his teeth and pressed, "You also heard what Lord Weigong said, give you a minute to quickly disappear in front of us." Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

"Wow, that's too much!" Ios retreated with a bitter face, "Okay, I can't go, I'll go back and 'publicize' the story of you and the Knight King, and then go to Teacher Skaha to sue you fiercely!" ”

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

"Come back." I amusedly stopped him, "If I ignored you, you wouldn't really do that, would you?" ”

"Hmph, who knows?"

Ios crossed his arms and snorted, his eyelids rolling at me.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault, don't be angry."

I stepped forward to look at Ios a few times, then put my arm in front of him.

“……”

A relieved smile slowly appeared on Ios' face, and he raised his hand to take my arm.

Afterwards, the two of us hugged tightly and parted.

"Huh? Emiya-sama, what's going on? ”

Bedwell, who was already waiting on the sidelines, was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"Put your sword away, Bedwell, I was joking." I smiled at Bedwell, "Do you remember that Artoria and I once traveled to the Shadow Nation in search of elixir? Ios was the friend I made during that time. ”

Later, I briefly told Bedwell about my encounter with Ios and our shared adventures.

"It turned out to be Lord Emiya's partner and friend who was born and died, and it was really rude to be here just now, please forgive me."

After hearing this, Bedwell leaned over to apologize to Ios with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't blame you." Ios smiled heartily, "If you want to blame, blame you, Lord Weigong, for having nothing to do." ”

"Hey, it's also problematic that you came to Camelot without saying a word, and you didn't give me a notice." I shrugged and said.

"Shirou, the ingredients for lunch are ready, can you start cooking?"

At this moment, a girl with golden hair on her head and a white apron walked quickly to me and whispered to me.

Then the next moment I saw Ios beside me, and her blue eyes widened in surprise.

"Good afternoon, Lord Knight King." Ios raised his index and middle fingers in his ear and waved them lightly, as if he had said hello, "I haven't seen you for a while, you are more radiant!" ”

"My king."

Bediwell didn't dare to slack off at all, and his whole body bent down with a standard subordinate salute.

"Well, Bedwell, you go down first, Shirou and I will summon you to the dining room later when we have lunch."

The girl nodded and said quietly.

"Yes, my king, it is a great honor."

Bedwell said respectfully, and also walked away quickly.

Now, it's just me, the girl, and Ios.

"Tell me Saxons, what are you doing sneaking into me in Britain?"

The girl slowly took off her apron, which looked a little cute, revealing the simple and elegant white shirt inside, and asked expressionlessly.

"Oh Shirou, look, the Knight King, she bullied me!"

Ioston grabbed me by the crook of the arm and looked at me from below with a pitiful look.

"Let me go...... Otherwise, I'll leave you at Artoria's disposal. I covered my face and looked away.

"Ahem, please call the shots for me."

Ios quickly let go of his hand and stood aside with a serious look.

"So, you're now back from the Shadow Country?"

I gathered my thoughts for a moment and asked.

"Whew...... As far as I'm concerned, I've learned a lot, but from Mr. Skaha's side, maybe I'm far from being a little late......" Ios seemed to think of something, and his face twitched, "The old woman...... I really don't know how to cultivate, it's just a perverted ......"

"Okay, next time I have a chance to meet Skaha-senpai, I'll tell her exactly what you called her today." I laughed.

"Wow, Shirou, you're the devil!" Ioston exclaimed.

“…… So, you're going to do that, right? ”

Pursing my lips, I asked anyway.

"Well, that's my mission that I have to accomplish." Ios was silent for a moment, then said in an extremely resolute tone.

Ios' true identity is the Saxon prince, the original heir to the throne.

But because of the struggle for the throne, the king was stolen by his titular brother, and he also had to fall into exile.

He had traveled to the Shadow Nation to learn from Skaha, reclaim his throne, and free his people from his brutal brother.

Now that Ios had learned from Skaha, and had come to Britain by appointment, his purpose was self-evident.

"Lord Knight King, I came to Camelot on purpose to ......"

Ios looked earnestly at the blonde girl beside her.

"Please tell Shirou, his decision is mine."

The girl shook her head.

"I see, then Shirou, please listen to me."

Ios looked visibly relieved. His friendship is with me, so this kind of direct dialogue makes him feel more confident.

"As you can see, I've been fully trained in the Shadow Country, and my use of magic has improved a lot compared to the original." "However, it is impossible for me to overthrow the current Saxon king's rule by my own strength. So, I hope Britain can help me. ”

"......" I glanced at the girl beside me, but she just stood as calm as a knight, without saying a word,

It seems that she really intends to leave the decision-making power to me.

"How many people do you need?"

I thought about it and asked.
