When Arthur returned to Caesar's Manor with Lady 'Anna', it was just before dawn.

Malinda wasn't asleep.

The lady changed into her regular clothes and sat there flipping through the notes and books left by Geppetto.

I was just reading it in a hurry, and I wanted to turn it into my own knowledge, so naturally it was impossible to finish it like this.

In fact, in order to catch up with Arthur, the woman has replanned her time, increasing her reading time from 3 hours to 4 hours a day, in addition to making an extra reading schedule for nearly two months.

Knowledge is power!

This is the truest proverb on the mystical side.

It's not false.

Moreover, Malinda is also reflecting on the route she set before-

There is nothing wrong with the development forces, but it is a step before the horse to put the development forces above the improvement of their own strength.

It's like the Credos house hidden in South Los Es.

Not only did they not develop their power, but they also hid and disbanded their original forces, but when they needed to, they pulled up their own team in a short time.

Why?

Because, strength.

Really, completely own strength.

I think that at the beginning, I just wanted to improve my strength and find the substrate needed for the ceremony, so I set up the so-called 'Long Night Ladies Salon'.

But since when has the 'Long Night Ladies Salon' become more important than my strength?

Why would I make such a low-level mistake? ’

The woman asked herself.

Then, naturally, the satisfaction that rose from the bottom of her heart rose from the back of her mind when others looked at her respectfully and with a little fear.

Such a sense of satisfaction made her lose herself.

Thankfully, she came to her senses.

She knew how she needed to make adjustments and changes.

'Is I only 20 years old after all?' ’

Malinda laughed at herself in her heart.

Then, suddenly, the lady was a little unhappy.

Because—

Arthur is only 17!

17-year-old Arthur is much more mature than her.

And she is 3 years older than Arthur, but she behaves like a naïve little girl.

This left Malinda with a deep sense of frustration.

Of course, the frustration in her heart definitely did not affect the lady's desire to 'divert her attention and rest for a while', and she was ready to discuss the philosophy of life with Arthur, so she started by giving each other the middle finger.

It's just that before the lady could speak, the scene in front of her made her stunned-

When Arthur entered the room, Pendragon, who had been listening to Arthur's words and keeping watch all night, immediately came over and kept rubbing Arthur's trouser legs.

"Good mi, good baby, well done!"

Arthur did not shy away from his compliments, and took out a small dried fish and handed it to Pendragon.

Grunt.

Pendragon, who was holding a small dried fish, made a pleasant sound in his stomach.

However, the next moment, the small dried fish in Pendragon's mouth fell to the ground.

Because—

Pendragon saw Lady Anna, who was slowly climbing up from Arthur's back, with a horrible face and a shadowy Lady Anna.

Meow meow?

Pendragon had a rapid meow in his mouth, and a rare sense of fright appeared on his fat face.

No, Pendragon was timid.

It was really scary for Miss 'Anna' to suddenly crawl out of Arthur's back.

Not to mention cats, people suddenly see a scary puppet crawling up from behind someone else and greet you, and they have to pee in fright.

Big Tachibana's eyes widened like brass bells, and he looked at Ms. 'Anna', and for a moment the air froze.

Arthur immediately 'comforted' his cat.

"Pan, this is 'Anna', weren't you still playing next to her before?

Why is it suddenly strange today?

Come, say hello to Ms. Anna. ”

Arthur said with a smile.

Pendragon clearly saw the teasing in his master's eyes.

The owner did it on purpose!

Immediately, the cat came to this conclusion.

Meow! Meow!

Pendragon screamed repeatedly.

That couldn't be more obvious.

Even if you don't understand cat language, you can feel that Pendragon is scolding badly.

Arthur, on the other hand, laughed.

In order to rush back to Caesar's Manor before dawn, Arthur ran with all his might, and even used the 'cat hole' technique of [Silent Stepping].

It's fast.

But 'Anna', who was originally sitting on Arthur's shoulder, became lying on his back.

Only in this way can you not be blown to the ground by the oncoming wind.

After that, Ms. 'Anna' climbed on top of Arthur's shoulder?

Pure accident!

Well, it's an accident!

How could Arthur scare his kitten.

The young 'medium' bent down and picked Pendragon up.

"Trial!

Pan, this is your test to become a 'Cat Warrior'!

Only in this way can you pull out the sword in the stone and be able to reach the top and become the king! ”

Arthur opened his eyes and began to talk nonsense, while Pendragon looked at his master suspiciously.

Warrior Trials?

Ascend to the top and become king?

Also What is a sword in the stone?

Pendragon's heart was full of doubts.

Arthur laughed again from the bottom of his heart.

Believe! It believed!

Pan really believed it!

The satisfaction of cheating on the cat makes Arthur's mood more relaxed and happy - everyone has a way to decompress, some drink and sing, and some take a bath and sauna.

Arthur was different.

He, petting the cat.

Maybe the way of masturbation is a little different, but it's really just petting the cat, and there is no malice.

As for the trials of warriors and the ascension to the top?

Isn't it up to him to say it?

And the sword in the stone?

If you have the opportunity in the future, you will find a concrete game with steel bars for Pendragon.

It's really not good, but you can also create a long sword with a special scabbard.

Anyway, there are many ways.

The most important thing is this: he is happy now.

Immediately, however, Arthur spotted Malinda looking at Ms. 'Anna' in amazement.

Arthur noticed.

Ms. 'Anna' had noticed it a long time ago.

Ever since she appeared in this room, Malinda had stared at her without blinking.

Faced with the lady's gaze, 'Anna' jumped off Arthur's shoulder, and saluted generously—

"Lady Caesar, first time we met, I'm Anna. Credos. ”

Listening to such greetings and self-introductions, Malinda became more and more trance-like.

The lady even forgot to return the salute and just looked at Arthur in a daze.

"[Soul Charge] has you learned?"

There was disbelief in the woman's words.

"Of course.

Just watch it once and you'll learn.

Nothing difficult. ”

Arthur said in a flat tone, as if he were saying that the eggs for breakfast should be dipped in soy sauce.

However, Malinda's heart was turbulent.

The lady knew that Arthur was gifted.

But she doesn't believe what Arthur said to 'Glaster' before, 'read it once', she thinks it's Arthur's strategy.

Can now?

It turned out to be true!

Malinda felt like she couldn't breathe.

Especially when I found out that Ms. 'Anna' was shocked by the displeasure on her face because she did not respond in time.

'This is not the original [Soul Charge]!

This is Arthur's optimized [Soul Charge]! ’

Malinda exclaimed in her heart.

Malinda had also seen Geppetto's notes, and of course she knew what the real [Soul Charge] looked like.

'Really!

Everything is true!

Arthur can really take a look at swordsmanship and secret arts, but he can also innovate and optimize!

Such a talent......

What a monster! ’

Thinking to herself, Malinda regained her composure.

The lady saluted Ms. 'Anna', and then, speaking to Arthur—

"Don't come along, I'm in a bad mood and need to find something sweet."

"Help me bring some tarts back."

Arthur immediately shouted.

Bang!

Arthur responded with a heavy slam slamming the door.

'It's exciting?'

No, my Malinda wouldn't be so vulnerable, would she? ’

As Arthur amused himself, his eyes looked in the direction of the door again.

The next moment, there was a knock on the door—

Knock, knock!
