"Hey, bad fate, why did I want to be friends with you in the first place? △↗，.”

Merlin complained, although there was no complaint in his eyes, "I was so cute when I was a child, but when I grew up, I didn't even like to talk." ”

"I'll give you back this sentence, ...... from the Enchanted Lake Female hooligan. ”

"You kid...... The food I ate was not as salty as I had ......."

"You're the sling, the sling girl who has been in the lake for hundreds of years. ”

A gust of hot wind blew, which also made the two people who were looking at each other "affectionately" staggered their eyes from each other.

Lancelot...... It seems that two strange people have come. ”

Merlin lowered his voice, "Is that the 'Knights of the Round Table' you call you?"

"Probably yes, but now I'm in an antagonistic relationship with them. Lancelot picked up the wooden sword on the ground, "Merlin, can I jump into the lake and hide?"

It is not clear which of the two 'Knights of the Round Table' came, and it would be unthinkable to challenge blindly like this.

After thinking for a moment, Lancelot immediately took a deep breath and dived to the bottom of the lake with a splash, while Merlin was very cooperative in eliminating the ripples on the water.

Although the water is very clear, if you don't pay attention, you can't find Lancelot hiding at the bottom of the lake.

"Try to keep your body on the ground. Merlin, who was integrated with the Enchanted Lake, faded away, "Don't worry about breathing, it's okay to hide with me for a few years, I'll see who is coming." ”

【Please】

Lancelot at the bottom of the lake couldn't speak, but his eyes were fixed on the surface of the water without hesitation.

Here it comes!

Blue-haired ...... So, it's Galahad!?

There was already a faint sound of conversation on the water. Galahad itself is not easy to deal with. If it's still two-to-one. is even more at a disadvantage, if you quit because of your whim, it will be too difficult to explain to others.

Hide, and give it to your friend, Merlin.

......

"Galahad...... Did you hear anything just now?"

Gareth, who was walking by the lake, listened, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the surface of the lake.

It's supposed to be warm during the season, but why is the lake so calm?

"It's like a 'poof' sound. ”

“...... Wrong. Wake it. ”

Galahad endured, his gaze unconsciously looking away from the lake. This enchanted lake has long been familiar to children who grew up nearby.

Although if there really is a "witch" who comes out, Galahad will deal with it seriously, but the idea that "there is an old witch in the lake of magic who can make people whole" that she has been instilled since she was a child still erodes her thinking.

Just like a juvenile elephant that can't break free from its shackles and won't try it again when it reaches adulthood, it's terrifying to get used to thinking.

"Good. Okay, we're cutting corners. Anyway, hurry up, don't rest. ”

"Yes, Lord Galahad. ”

Gareth nodded helplessly, because it was too boring, so she played with the weapon in her hand as she walked.

It's just that this stranger doesn't seem to understand the horrors of the Enchanted Lake at all.

【Puff】

A strong gust of wind blew, and by the time Gareth was ready to catch the weapon thrown into the air, he found that it had already fallen into the water, and after a little splash, it disappeared without a trace. The clear surface of the lake reflected the sky, and it didn't give her a chance to discover where the weapon had fallen.

“...... Ah, it's dropped. ”

“...... You. ”

Galahad only felt a surge of blood, not because of Gareth's childlike behavior, but because the gust of wind just now always made her feel very strange.

The sudden arrival of a strong wind blew Gareth's sword into the lake, which is too much of a coincidence. It always feels like there is really an old witch in the magic lake......

No, no, this must be just an excuse used by our ancestors to scare children into not letting them play by the lake. How can a witch hide in a lake for years?

"Galahad, help me get my clothes, I'm going to jump in and get them. ”

“...... Okay, okay, anyway you hurry up. ”

Unconsciously, Galahad's voice trembled a little. Although she said that she didn't have to jump into the lake to fish, but ...... I always feel that standing by the lake is more terrifying.

Please, hurry up and go, no kind of monster is fine, but this old witch of the Magic Lake who has left a psychological shadow on herself, she can't do anything about it...... Right......

"Ahh

That, what is that! A man came out of the water! an old witch!

"Ahhh......h Ah......h

"Galahad?"

“...... Ahem, it's fine. ”

After calming down a little, Galahad immediately covered up his embarrassment with a dry cough, of course, it was not because she was calm that she was able to recover so quickly.

If there really was an old woman with a pointed hat and a fierce face full of incantations, Galahad might have fainted. However, this old witch who was demonized by the adults is now a ......

For the first time, Galahad felt that it was great to be able to come to the Enchanted Lake, because in her opinion, the legend in the Enchanted Lake was not an old witch at all, but more like a fairy in the Enchanted Lake.

A beautiful, noble goblin.

Galahad forgot his words for a moment, and watched with Gareth, who was also distracted, as the goblin slowly "swam" to the lake.

"Girl, jumping into the lake will pollute the lake. The goblin smiled with a smile that made Galahad feel refreshed, "I'm a goblin here, girl, what did you fall into the lake?"

"Weapons...... My weapon fell in. ”

When the beautiful fairy said this, no one was embarrassed to use their bodies to "defile" the lake again.

"Can you pick it up for me?"

"Absolutely. ”

As he spoke, the goblin dived into the lake and disappeared. Leaving Galahad and Gareth staring at each other.

"What a beautiful goblin. ”

Gareth sighed. Then he slowly began to get dressed. "Galahad, you seem surprised?"

"No, not really. ”

Galahad hurriedly denied that the sudden appearance of the goblins forced her to revisit the legends used by the older generation to scare children.

Perhaps, this goblin was only scandalized as an old witch by them because he hindered those who tried to get the lake's water.

Really, it's such a clear lake, and there's a noble goblin in the lake, what are these water thieves thinking?

[Wow]

"Found it. ”

The goblin carried an object that shone in the sunlight. "Is this what you dropped at the bottom of the lake?"

Is that...... And, I always felt that just by looking like it was hundreds of times better than Gareth's weapon.

Of course, that thing must not have been dropped by Gareth, and the interest was dropped by other mages......

But...... How many treasures are there in this lake......

"Hold ......"

"Ahhh ”

Gareth's eyes were glowing with gold, "Thank you Fairy, give her to me." ”

For a moment, Galahad noticed that the corners of the elf's mouth twitched. This made her pull Gareth back immediately.

"Hey, Gareth. Be honest, that thing didn't fall from you. ”

"That'...... That's what I dropped. ”

Gareth said as he glanced at Galahad, "I can say if I don't believe it, this is the wand used by the former witch Morin in her life, and she has a lot of magic, and as a descendant of Morin, naturally this wand was dropped by me." ”

"Hey, Gareth......"

"Oh, really? But I remember, if I was close to Maureen, I knew Maureen's nickname. ”

The goblin suddenly laughed, which caused a cold sweat to break out on Galahad's body.

If anything, it's that the breath of relaxation just now has disappeared unconsciously.

"I don't know, but can you prove it?"

"Goo......

Most of them were poked in the sore spot, Gareth's expression became struggling, and after a long time, she finally relieved herself and slowly held back a name that she thought should be right.

"I remember it was called...... Mary Sue?"

......

"You ......"

What's that feeling?

"What do you call the old lady!"

The originally noble and beautiful goblin suddenly erupted with a roar no less than that of Bedwell, and at the same time as this roar, there was also a strange movement from the bottom of the lake.

Is that...... Ominous premonition.

"Get out of the way!"

The saber on his waist was drawn, and Galahad at this time could no longer care about the restriction of not being able to use the original weapon.

Because it always feels like this goblin has been angry.

"Lancelot!?"

"Things have changed, Merlin. ”

With a splash of water, Lancelot swam up from the bottom of the lake, and then, as if he had stepped on the ice, stood in the center of the lake.

Lancelot knew this goblin, and besides, this goblin seemed to be called Merlin!? Combined with what she had just said, could this goblin be the ......

Merlin took out a sword from the bottom of the lake again, and the transparent blade seemed to merge with the surface of the lake.

"It's still a semi-finished product, but I don't have to worry about it breaking. ”

Merlin handed the sword to Lancelot's hand, "I don't know your rules, but as long as you don't go into battle, it shouldn't be a foul?"

"That's true, then please, Merlin. ”

Galahad finally found out that the blade, the sword, that Lancelot's eyes were carrying, was finally about to be drawn from its scabbard?

"Galahad, although it is restricted to fighting with weapons other than wooden swords, no one has found it around here. So ......"

"Gareth is also in the fight, how about we have a real fight?" (to be continued......)
