The red dragon stood in place and did not take advantage of the situation to chase after him.

"Knight King, isn't it strange how your combat ability has regressed so much." The dragon locked our position, and the red dragon said slowly.

"You...... What was done to me? Hearing this, the girl gritted her teeth and looked at the red dragon.

"I didn't do anything, it's just that it's too whimsical for you to try to use my power in my realm." The red dragon shook his head and said.

…………

“…… Your field? The girl's eyes widened, "Could it be ...... here?"

"Yes, this is the inside of your body, my heart. In the past, half of your power came from here. The red dragon nodded and continued, "The other half, from your Sword of Victory. ”

“…… Now you have neither the Holy Sword nor the help of my power, you are really just like the appearance, just an ordinary little human girl. Still, are you going to fight me too? To be clear, I have no intention of showing mercy. ”

"You, you're going to die!"

The red dragon said in a voice without the slightest emotion.

…………

…… Forget it now, we can figure it out again.

Looking at the silent girl with her head bowed, I wanted to say this to her.

If the situation is really as Red Dragon said, then don't say retreat from the enemy, the current girl is afraid that it will be difficult to even protect herself.

Besides, even if the problem of conception was solved now, I would not have considered having a child so early.

At the very least, it will take a few years for Artoria to mature physically.

So, just be prepared during this period......

…………

"Whew...... I see, I thought something was going on. ”

But the girl spoke first.

But not to me, but to the red dragon.

Moreover, there was no fear or sadness in that tone, but after a long breath, it was completely bright and cheerful.

…………

…… What the?!

It wasn't just me who was surprised, but also the red dragon.

"As you said, I have neither a holy sword nor a dragon element. Now I'm just pure me, right? The girl looked up at the red dragon, and the corners of her mouth actually rose slightly.

"That's right. But what can you do with your weak human body? The red dragon looked disdainful.

…………

The girl turned to me.

"Shirou, I have thought more than once since I met you, even for a moment, I will put aside the status of the king, the honor of the knight, the origin of the dragon, including the responsibility of the master of the holy sword, and wholeheartedly, only as a maiden Artoria by your side."

“…… Now me, do you like it? ”

Completely ignoring the red dragon's sarcasm, the girl bent down slightly at me and smiled flawlessly.

…………

“…… You are more beautiful than ever. ”

I'll be honest.

As Artoria said, she is now a teenage girl as pure as an angel, both in expression and demeanor, exactly the same age as her appearance.

Unlike many acquired identities or honors, this temperament is an origin that she was born with and no one can take it.

So, that's incomparably beautiful.

…………

"When everything is over, and the next king, who is enough to entrust the affairs of the state, appears, we will go to a place where no one can find us, how about being an ordinary couple? We will give birth to children. I taught him the swordsmanship to protect himself, but he was never allowed to use it to take the lives of others. The girl let her grow up happily under my care, and then marry the person she likes. The girl said to herself with a warm face.

“…… Then leave the task of supporting you to me, I don't have any other skills, but my body is still okay, and I should be able to find a good job. ”

Although the girl's performance confused me, I couldn't bear to break her beautiful fantasy, so I still followed her words.

But it was really strange enough to say such a thing in this scene, and the red dragons not far away rolled their eyes.

…………

"Hee-hee, then just listen to Shirou, who made Shirou a boy, he must take on the responsibility of the head of the family." The girl smiled happily, "But don't worry, I will serve you wholeheartedly when I go home every night, so that you will be more motivated the next day." ”

"Uh......" I blushed a little, and I didn't know what to do for a moment.

But when I think about it this way, it's really an ordinary and happy family.

It's simple, but it's nothing more than the perfect place of tenderness in Artoria's hearts for each other.

…………

“…… This is not only what Artoria wants, but also what I want most. ”

So, I finally raised my hand and stroked the girl's golden sand-like hair and said with a smile.

"So, for the sake of our family, our children, there is no way but to defeat the enemy in front of us."

Reaching over my head with my hands and gently covering the backs of my hands, the girl said word by word.

…………

"Artoria, what are you going to do?" I suddenly felt a little bit wrong.

"Shirou, transfer the Holy Lancer Rengominiad, you can do it now." The girl stared into my eyes and said seriously.

"What?! Knight King, are you crazy? Are you going to liberate the Holy Lance here? The red dragon's dragon eyes widened suddenly, with an expression of disbelief, "Do you know what the consequences are?!" ”

"In the face of the holy spear that is capable of subverting the surface of the world, even the heart of the dragon species cannot defend against it. It was destroyed by it in the first place. The girl didn't look back, still staring into my eyes.

…………

"My heart is your heart, if I die, you will die, why choose this extreme way?!" The red dragon roared wildly, completely devoid of the composure and composure that it had begun.

"Shirou, let's get started. Transfer the Holy Lance with space magic, it's in Camelot, my arsenal right now. The girl just said to me calmly.

“…… Boy, you're not going to do that, you're definitely going to be reluctant. "The Red Dragon has set his hopes on me.

…………

"I see."

Looking at the girl's unwavering eyes, I gritted my teeth vigorously and nodded heavily.

Since it is a treasure that knows exactly where it exists, it is not difficult to transfer.

As it has always been, as long as you believe in the girl unconditionally, it's fine.

Victory must be ours in the end.

…………

"You two madmen! Get the Holy Spear, don't even think about it! ”

With a roar, the red dragon swooped down on me.

"It's late."

The girl took the pure white holy spear that had been formed from my hand, and raised her arm, the tip of the spear pointed directly at the red dragon.

…………

The huge body that rushed forward stopped stiffly, looking at the holy spear in the girl's hand, the red dragon's expression was hard to see.
